That was amazing to hear. Oh I WISH they would all 4 get back together, even if it were just one show. Even if it were one song. The guys have all still “got it”… but that won’t be forever.
I first saw these awesome musicians/performers in Telluride at Bluegrass 1986. They were awesome then...they've only gotten better. I "did" Telluride for 18 years, my last was in 2002. My soul misses it but my memories are precious.
I'm still gratefull the powers to be are leaving this tune on Y-Tube!!! I would have loved to have been there!!!! This is American folk music at it's best!!!!
In 1973 I went with The Fall Creek Band to Winfield KS when Fred Shellman went up to Sam and said, "we're starting a Bluegrass Festival in Telluride, do you want to come"? and Sam said, "where is Telluride", to witch Fred grabbed him by the ear and said, "come on we'll show ya". The rest is history. We built a new stage in town park and for years and years NGR graced us all with their incredible talents. So many top groups came to "jam" with them, because Sam was just a magnet, and every year Telluride Bluegrass just grew and grew. Sam is now on his 49th "consecutive" year in the park and really is the King of the park. My wife Lexie and I are on our 49th consecutive year of marriage and fell in love to some of Newgrass Revival's love songs. Over the years Fall Creek's dreams came true and groups like John Hartford, the Grateful Dead, Bob Dillon, Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young and so many more have come to play music in our small town called "to-hell-you-ride, the town without a bellyache". I think if it weren't for the Fall Creek Boys there may not have been a Telluride Bluegrass. Thanks Kooster (RIP), Freddie (RIP), picker and JB for your inspiration, not to mention you fun music, and a big thanks to Sam Bush for starting the Newgrass sound, so many years ago, I hear his old riffs everywhere.
The Telluride Festival is something that every music fan should experience at least once in their lives. These musicians share their talents with the crowd with great mutual respect, and the feeling in the crowd is magical. Seeing parents children, and senior citizens all enjoying the music is a wonderful experience. The mountain venue is perfect for this music! Planet Bluegrass has to be congratulated for their responsible stewardship of this magical event.
These guys are the best - true talent and you can tell they enjoy bringing their music to the people - Cowan is one of the very best vocalist in the world !!
Yes he is. I have only likde 4 vocalists in my life time and he is one of them. I don't dislike the others, I am just an instrumentalist kind of person.
We were there for this concert! It was incredible! (In fact, we've been to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival every year since 1998.) It's so good you can't resist going back once you've experienced it!)
I live a million miles away and I'll sell my soul to make it back and bring my children to be a part of something so amazing. One of if not the best music and atmosphere on earth ❤️
The song name is "Deeper and Deeper,". It's on their 1981 album, "Commonwealth." It's a GREAT album, every cut is fantastic. They have two live albums out, one from Telluride 1977. Sam Bush and John Cowan still have vibrant solo careers, you can find 'em places. To hear John sing, live, is awe-inspiring.
We have the Tell. BG. video for that year and this song is our favorite. We go to Colorado every year. We can't wait to go to Telluride for a BG Fest. soon. We love this. Thank you for "Music".
@MrMacWilkens The first fest I missed in 18 years. Unfortunately, have not been able to attend since 2002, though EVERY Father's Day week-end, my heart flies to that canyon in God/dess's Country.
I was part of a local band in early 2000's in eastern Canada. There were so many phenomenally talented singers and players, several bands from the USA. Sunday afternoon, everything ended with "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" Someone asked me ( don't know why me ) to sing verse 1. The pros behind me were so gracious and complimentary afterward; really meant a lot.
I just seen John Cowan's Band on Sunday in NH at a place called Harlows.. 15 people at best in the whole place for such a Giant like John. 3 piece trio. They were Awesome!!!!!
I was lucky enough to be there for this performance, they were absolutely great. Even if you have to sell your soul, get to the Telluride Music Festival on the summer solstice! Heavan on Earth.
I saw them live at Down Home Kitchen twice in the early 80’s when I was 13-15 years old. A life changing experience for me for sure. Luckily I have a dad that can appreciate great music. I wish they could have stayed together longer though. Definitely a supergroup.
Man, this song gives me goosebumps. It's so weird seeing them grown up... Oh yeah, where's Pat? It would have been especially nice to see the whole classic lineup.
@glennorange. I picked them up a while ago by ear, and they all seem to be variations of the F Chord. First is F with the 3rd string up a half step, then the F chord, and then F with an open third string. Wash, rinse, repeat. I expect my check within two weeks.
@CadillacL I wwas wondering the same thing. Odd to see any New Grass song with no great solo from Pat. Sam and Bela are fantastic, but I miss Pat Flynn!
Have to say love this version, definitely miss Pat,on the album "Commonwealth" yes , however the album version line up was original, "originals" Sam Bush,John Cowan, Curtis Birch (guitar) and Courtney Johnson (banjo) the first New Grass Revival,if you listen to the album you will hear the difference,both great,but ONLY one "Original*👍😎
@laylahh1951 John is on tour with The Doobie Brothers! Sounding great-he was with them for a while in the late 80's, now he is their permanent bass player. Pat Flynn has been touring with Michael Martin Murphey.
@kjfeit If you know these guys, tell them we in south Mississippi are starving - STARVING - for a good concert. We don't have any good venues, but we've got fields a' plenty.
There's got to be a reason why Pat has never joined them for a reunion. I wonder if some personal issues are involved. It's a shame the whole band has never appeared for a reunion.
If ANYONE has the guitar chords for this song, I will give you a check for $1,000 to post them here! Not that the check will actually clear, you understand ;)
That was amazing to hear. Oh I WISH they would all 4 get back together, even if it were just one show. Even if it were one song. The guys have all still “got it”… but that won’t be forever.

no, this is bluegrass

Simply amazing. Bela Fleck could be the most technical musician in the world. A true master of his instrument!
well...there IS Bruce Cockburn's guitar playing. I do get your point though.
These guys are the best - true talent and you can tell they enjoy bringing their music to the people - Cowan is one of the very best vocalist in the world !!
Yes he is. I have only likde 4 vocalists in my life time and he is one of them. I don't dislike the others, I am just an instrumentalist kind of person.
Wow Wow Wow Have always loved everything about this song...
We were there for this concert! It was incredible! (In fact, we've been to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival every year since 1998.) It's so good you can't resist going back once you've experienced it!)

My 457th time watching this video, and it will never get old. Lights my soul all the way up

That long sustaining Harmony was Right ON MAN between Sam and John Boy..
WOW!!!
@MrMacWilkens The first fest I missed in 18 years. Unfortunately, have not been able to attend since 2002, though EVERY Father's Day week-end, my heart flies to that canyon in God/dess's Country.
this is why i love bluegrass.. everyone is so positive and peaceful and everyone gets along.
I was part of a local band in early 2000's in eastern Canada. There were so many phenomenally talented singers and players, several bands from the USA. Sunday afternoon, everything ended with "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" Someone asked me ( don't know why me ) to sing verse 1.

The best country band. Fantastic musicians.
Thank you so much for posting this video!! I loved every second of this performance
I just seen John Cowan's Band on Sunday in NH at a place called Harlows..
15 people at best in the whole place for such a Giant like John.
3 piece trio. They were Awesome!!!!!
I was lucky enough to be there for this performance, they were absolutely great. Even if you have to sell your soul, get to the Telluride Music Festival on the summer solstice! Heavan on Earth.
Can’t remember the exact year as we were fortunate to attend several years in a row. Probably around ten years ago.
I saw them live at Down Home Kitchen twice in the early 80’s when I was 13-15 years old. A life changing experience for me for sure. Luckily I have a dad that can appreciate great music. I wish they could have stayed together longer though. Definitely a supergroup.
They are my favorite band...after The Beatles, that is. Can't wait to see them again in June! Sixteenth consecutive festival this year!
OMG thank you for posting this. I am just finding it now.
The song id Deeper and Deeper from the Commonwealth album. You can get the song from Amazon and such. And a humungous THANK YOU to the poster!!!!
SOME GOOD MEMORIES YOU GUYS ARE GREAT
It must still be cold in Colorado in June! Everybody is bundled up!
Dude, Telluride is at 8000 ft altitude.
Man, this song gives me goosebumps. It's so weird seeing them grown up...
Oh yeah, where's Pat? It would have been especially nice to see the whole classic lineup.
This is another Bob Lucas song that NGR did. Bob does it wonderfully as well. He is one of a kind. Great writer, great musician
Hey Grumpy says a big 10-4, and thanks for sharing this!!!!
Amazing song! Sam Bush is the best mandolin player!!!
Amen!
@glennorange. I picked them up a while ago by ear, and they all seem to be variations of the F Chord. First is F with the 3rd string up a half step, then the F chord, and then F with an open third string. Wash, rinse, repeat. I expect my check within two weeks.
This is so aweomse - didnt know they still do this kind of thing in 2000ies . . . !
@CadillacL I wwas wondering the same thing. Odd to see any New Grass song with no great solo from Pat. Sam and Bela are fantastic, but I miss Pat Flynn!
awesome!
It's New Grass!
From about 3:15 - 6:10 --> Simply Awesome!!!
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
Have to say love this version, definitely miss Pat,on the album "Commonwealth" yes , however the album version line up was original, "originals" Sam Bush,John Cowan, Curtis Birch (guitar) and Courtney Johnson (banjo) the first New Grass Revival,if you listen to the album you will hear the difference,both great,but ONLY one "Original*👍😎
Awesome to see New Grass together. Where's Pat though?
Oh My My 👏❤️🙂👏❤️🙂👏❤️🙂
Love it.
LOVE IT!!
@laylahh1951 John is on tour with The Doobie Brothers! Sounding great-he was with them for a while in the late 80's, now he is their permanent bass player. Pat Flynn has been touring with Michael Martin Murphey.
Completamente incrivel...
@kjfeit To north005. Sorry, I misunderstood the question. The song title is "Deeper and Deeper".
Love this song! Does anyone know what year this was recorded in? I first saw this video in 2006.
This is from the DVD...
Any more where this came from? And who's on guitar: Jon Randall? It's kind of dark.
Thanks for posting this.
❤
Right, it's "Newgrass"
...and in a Cardinals jersey no less!
Why isn't this performance included on any Telluride albums? I want to buy an MP3 of this performance. Who do I pay?
@HillbillyJ Ah, thank you. I'm not the best with chord variations as you can see : P. Still learnin'.
@kjfeit
If you know these guys, tell them we in south Mississippi are starving - STARVING - for a good concert. We don't have any good venues, but we've got fields a' plenty.
What's the name of this song? Where can I get a DVD or CD of this?
There's got to be a reason why Pat has never joined them for a reunion. I wonder if some personal issues are involved. It's a shame the whole band has never appeared for a reunion.
I wonder if they are singing this song to Pat
dark rumors of bad blood between Sam and Pat...just rumors but there must be some reason they won't play together. Sure sounded great back in the day.
Okay...capoed at the third or fourth fret...can't tell for sure.
NEXT!
@kjfeit
What's the name?
Nice
@MrMacWilkens whats the song name?
the cowman is the best
Sam rockin' a Cardinals shirt!?
+Tyler M Yeah, I've heard he's a big fan. His idea of a perfect day is playing mando while watching baseball. LOL
+Tyler M sam's a huge cardinals fan. notice the shirt he's wearing in my photo.
sam bush is the only one that can still rock the hair hahaha
Amen!
peerless
If ANYONE has the guitar chords for this song, I will give you a check for $1,000 to post them here!
Not that the check will actually clear, you understand ;)
Only Pat Flynn is missing.......
This if from the DVD...boooooo
Lyrics are a little corny but the chord structure , instrumentation and arrangement are frikken great.
No Pat? Then it's just Sam, Bela, Jon, & somebody sittin' in, not NGR.
The song instrumental and vocals are wonderful but this isn't bluegrass
they have been told that for 45 years.
