Mike Simmons... you're more than welcome. There was no way I could let that video set "idle" without sharing it once I saw it. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the comment.
To me, he was the best ever. I like some of the new guys, but none are like Tony. The few times I got to speak to him were amazing. He always bragged on Wyatt or the guys in the band. Find memories for me.
Wyatt is one hell of a guy too! He did a lot for me growing up! Took me to many TRU shows including IBMA. I am good friends with his boys Jared and Jordan. Wyatt and Tony have had a huge impact on my life and I hope Wyatt knows how much I appreciate him!
David Thorn.... I'm right there with you. I posted another comment about it too. Makes me tired just watching him play all that... and without missing a lick. Amazing.
Sure appreciate the time and effort you have put into this...and for sharing with us. I, too, have been quite influenced by Mr. Rice's life's work...Thank You!!!
Thanks a hundred times! This made my whole week! Tony at 31 yrs old. . .master of his craft, what a voice - and what incredible expression in his strings!! Thank you for your work.
Tony could really take off in any direction he wanted to because of Wyatt who is one of the most criminally underrated flat pickers out there. He was Tony's main rhythm player. Thank You Bluegrass Farmer for taking the time to share this with us.
I think Tony's kickoff and break on Blue Railroad Train is the greatest break in the history of music. I could listen to it for hours and never get tired of it.
Just found this, truly a treasure for Tony Rice fans everywhere! Thanks you for sharing this with his many die hard fans. All we have now are these great memories of this singular inspirational singer and player!
blueseruser.. I'm glad you ran across the video and also this channel. You said it all. "Inspirational singer and player". Totally agree with you 100 percent ! Thanks for the comment and for checking out my channel.
Thanks for all the effort you put into restoring this! It shows. I know it's non-trivial and time consuming and I've no doubt that a lot of Tony's fans will be visiting your channel and reliving some great memories! Thanks for sharing. Best, Joe
I appreciate it J Foehrkolb. I enjoyed putting the video together for everyone. Yes, it was time consuming...but sharing a piece of Bluegrass History was well worth the time and effort. Thanks again for the kind comment.
Thank you so much. This possibly the best I’ve seen of Tony’s performances. Colours are so warm in the flesh tones, and Goudreau’s mandolin chops are bang on. I am the editor of Bluegrass Canada Magazine. On behalf of the Canadian Bluegrass community I would like to express our gratitude for your dedicated hard work preserving this grand experience.
Mike Kirley.... Thank you so much for the kind comment and for stopping by my channel. I'm thrilled you found this video entertaining. Like I mentioned in the video, I've seen hundreds of Tony Rice videos on RUclips, but not one like this. I feel it's a “one of a kind” video. Again, I appreciate your comments and for you finding this channel. Be sure to tell our Northern Bluegrass friends about this channel and be sure to check back from time to time. I'll have more videos coming out soon that may prove interesting. Take care and feel free to stop by anytime. You're always welcome here.
Thank you for your effort. Maybe you should post every song as an individual title, too. Would be easier to find. And for all the guitar aficionados: Upload with a title like Tony is playing his Santa Cruz guitar.
Thank you Bluegrass Farmer!!! I think everyone here agrees, the hours of work you spent on restoring this footage was time well spent, and we all get to reap the benefits. Thanks for your hard work and allowing us “RUclips generation folks” another opportunity to see the greatest picker to ever do it. RIP Tony.
Really enjoyed your tribute to tony, I'm sure that he has passed over Jordan in pain no more....Just thank the Lord that we have his work or most of it to enjoy till we to cross over......Thanks again, I'm sure alot of work and money went in to this project, God Bless.......jamie in Tennessee
As an ex (thanks to 5 strokes) heavy metal/rock guitarist I feel I've missed so much in not seeing Tony's work until it was too late, for us both. He was a true virtuoso, I really wish I had heard his works many many years ago, I feel I've missed out on so much on a *great* and humble talent. RIP Tony ❤️. I would love to see more of his "live" work, should you have any suggestions - I am particularly taken by "Cattle in the Cane".
Hello Guy Hall.. Thanks for the great comment. I'll do some searching in my old VHS files and see what I can come up with. Thanks for stopping by !! TBGF
I Like you I’ve watched everything I could find of TR, my musical hero! But I’ve NEVER seen or heard of this before. Thanks so much for sharing! This is a mighty fine video!
M.R... you are welcome. I agree with you 100%. His kick off and playing "Old Train" is SMOKING, but he shows total control through the entire song. Makes me tired watching him play it. LOL
Genial Gracias Tony Roce para mí el más grande del Bluegrass.... Yo siempre lo compare de esta forma : Tony Rice Bluegrass, lo que Paco de Lucia al Flamenco Ahora estáran; Playing Guitar together at Heaven
Thanks for a great job in saving this! Classic Tony at a time when he was at his best . Absolutely great band. Many followed the path Tony set. Who was bass player?
@@thebluegrassfarmer A young Mark. That is what I thought. That was such a great group of musicians playing music for all the right reasons. I had always planned to see Tony but once health declined I was never able to make it. Thanks for what you are doing in preserving these guys. Sent it my daughter who was brought up on this stuff and is now a music therapist. She was in Asheville and got to play with Darrell Webb and Brian Hilligoss
@@jodymurray4641 WOW... That's what I call performing with some serious pickers right there. Glad you sent the video to your daughter. Tell here to talk this channel up LOL!!! But really, glad you found the video and great to talk with you Jody. Always feel free to visit the channel when you can.
Absolutely incredible, perfect, footage and sound, and in my town! I was 17 then. Probably across town somewhere shooting basketball or incurring the wrath of my mother!
Thank you and RIP Tony Rice. Also thank you Bluegrass Farmer for posting this

Totally agree Michael. Tony was one of a kind and gifted beyond measures. Thanks for the comment and for stopping by.

@@jprice276 that's pretty cool to be close friends of the family. The TRU was always good. No matter the configuration.
That's the hottest Old Train I've eve heard man...
David Thorn.... I'm right there with you. I posted another comment about it too. Makes me tired just watching him play all that... and without missing a lick. Amazing.
Id be afraid to play rhythm that fast. No doubt a speedy version.
Sure appreciate the time and effort you have put into this...and for sharing with us. I, too, have been quite influenced by Mr. Rice's life's work...Thank You!!!
You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for stopping by the channel. TBGF
I saw this in person!!! My parents took me to Louisville all the way from Hot Springs, Ar. to see Tony. Your video is awesome!
Awesome Scott. You where part of History !!! Glad you enjoyed the video.
These are the best performances I’ve ever seen. You better listen close.
Listen close and take notes. Thanks for watching!! TBGF
Thanks a hundred times!
This made my whole week!
Tony at 31 yrs old. . .master of his craft, what a voice - and what incredible expression in his strings!!
Thank you for your work.
Short hair, no tie, no 'bone. Who is this guy? :)
Tony could really take off in any direction he wanted to because of Wyatt who is one of the most criminally underrated flat pickers out there. He was Tony's main rhythm player. Thank You Bluegrass Farmer for taking the time to share this with us.
I agree 100 percent with you Marty. Very well said and you're more than welcome.
Those harmonies on Ginseng Sullivan...
Wyatt is a masterful rythmm
You were a good friend to Larry and me. Larry has left us and I'm here to miss our good times.
I think Tony's kickoff and break on Blue Railroad Train is the greatest break in the history of music. I could listen to it for hours and never get tired of it.
Kirk Shankles.... Right there with ya. He's solid as a rock on it.
Just found this, truly a treasure for Tony Rice fans everywhere! Thanks you for sharing this with his many die hard fans. All we have now are these great memories of this singular inspirational singer and player!

I can't remember, who is the mandolin player/tenor singer?
Greetings.... A Cappella Hymns... That's Jimmy Gaudreau on mandolin and tenor. Thanks for stopping by !!!

Thanks so much Wayne for watching. Far as I know, this is the only video showing Tony in this setting. Glad you enjoyed it.
Legend. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting and great video/sound. A fan for 40+ years here in Canada. Saw this unit in Toronto back around then. RIP Tony.
Thanks so much Tom for the comment.

Many thanks jjohnpayne !!
Thanks for posting this. It is much appreciated. Nice to see Tony in this small group setting. The intro to Old Train is burning.
M.R... you are welcome. I agree with you 100%. His kick off and playing "Old Train" is SMOKING, but he shows total control through the entire song. Makes me tired watching him play it. LOL
Prime Tony Rice. Many thanks!
You're more than welcome Anthony. Thanks for watching !!

Good rescue job! Love Tony!

Tony Roce para mí el más grande del Bluegrass....
Yo siempre lo compare de esta forma :

Thanks for a great job in saving this! Classic Tony at a time when he was at his best . Absolutely great band. Many followed the path Tony set. Who was bass player?
Hello Jody!! Thanks for the kind words on the video. The Bass Player in this video is Mark Schatz.

Thanks Rice Flatpicking. The hard work paid off on this video. It's not perfect.. but for it being 35 years old... I think it came out fairly decent.
He was one of my favorite singers.
No other voice like it Texas Crapshooter. When he sung. You KNEW who it was... even blindfolded. Thanks for the comment and for stopping by.
This is incredibly beautiful! Thanks man!
Thanks Matteo Camera !!! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for being part of the group here with us. Keep the strings tight brother !!
@@thebluegrassfarmer it’s a pleasure man! 🙌🏻
Damn Skippy!
Love it
Easily the biggest influence on my Bluegrass career! Thank you Tony!
Keep the Strings tight !!!

RIP Tony Rice
