Thanks Tom--this was great! I'm so sorry that the Birchmere has more or less given up on Bluegrass these days, with a few exceptions. I miss the old place with its wonderful lineup of BG musicians.
If you could bring that lineup through space and time and feature them today, what would you pay for the seat? Me personally, I would take a mortgage out on my home and sell my left kidney to see this!
@@JanJohanssonmusic Hi - It's not very difficult if you have decent sources. It can be a little tricky if there are slight speed differences in the video and audio, but that can also be addressed. So yes, I guess is the answer to your question. Anecdotally, one time I manually synched up my soundboard recording of Doc Watson at Suwanee ruclips.net/video/v1rmbvAV8wc/видео.html with a video someone shared here on RUclips of the same event ruclips.net/video/GvFbtAYyiT0/видео.html (decent video but not so good sound). If you come across anything you need I can try to help.
@@tomproctor.archive thank you for the kind offer. I might take you up on that. I have video of Tony Rice and Norman Blake as well as the soundboard audio... I 'll gve it a try... appreciate your help.
@@JanJohanssonmusic Sure, I don't mind helping with any of that for the sake of getting more great out there of those legends. You basically need decent video editing software to match up the audio track from the soundboard to the video, while muting any track on the video.
One thing that pissed me off is the reference that Muddy Waters was a Johnny Cash song... It was written by PHIL ROSENTHAL who was a member of the Seldom Scene. That is an unacceptable egregious error.
I was at the Birchmere at a show where Tony Rice was filling in for John Starling at around this time, and I suppose this might be it. It was a marvelous evening.
I'm sure this was an unbelievablly good night of music, but unfortunately the recording quality is not great. Muffled and low volume. Long live the memory of TR!
@@tomproctor.archive I am friends with Mark through my brother Stuart from the early 80s. I’m betting he went to a lot of those shows with you or you went to a lot of those shows with him?
@@factotumted We both grew up in the Bethesda scene and I knew him through friends there. Then I moved to Colorado in the 80s but we always stayed in touch, still do.
So wonderful to hear Tony Rice doing songs we all associate with the Scene!!
John Hardy- Tony & Mike’s improv in particular. Off the charts-amazing
Indeed, rippin stuff.

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a gem.
I noticed, too, that the Birchmere has walked away from this incredible music. Pity! Pick away! Thanks, Tom! 1/3/24
This is amazing.
Awesome share!
thanks for sharing!!!

Yeah, it was a pretty special moment in the scheme of the bluegrass world.
Me, too!! Pick away! 1/3/24
This show took place after the Scene had let Phil go and before Lou could start. I believe John Starling filled in the next week.
@Ken-uo7iw I thought Phil had left to be a photographer for national geographic?
The instrumental is Gold Rush, and they burn it son
Thanks! Updated the list.
I'll go check it out... @@tomproctor.archive Have you ever tried synching soundboard audio with a crowd video?

This is one of the craziest uploads I've seen in years. This is a baffling performance in terms of skill and concept.
Thanks for such an upload
Glad you love it as much as I do. Cheers to greatness.

Is Tony the only guitar player? Is this after Rosenthal and before Reid?

Hi Tom. Do you know Mark Tryon?
Indeed, for a long time.
