I was fortunate to see The (original) David Grisman Quintet in the 70's with Tony Rice at NYU in NYC and then later at Carnegie Hall with Stephane Grappelli and Mark O'Conner......
Oh my Howard, you are one lucky man!! This is the first time that I have seen this group and I am overwhelmed by how absolutely genius they are!
@Kevin Nelson Thank you Kevin!
#ThrowbackThursday - I have been looking for this forever. Lost it in a move along the way. Just surface on the internet so I have to share! My first week with Stephane Grappelli, my teach. And we are on the Johnny Carson Show!
Mark O'Connor .Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo .Wonderful Great !!!
Absolutely amazing.
Mark O'Connor wow, Mark o, you're amazing too!
Mark, this video brings me back in time to when I first saw the Grisman Quintet in Boston, expecting to see Tony Rice on guitar. From the first tune, I was taken in amazement by your playing and became and fan and follower ever since.
@@stochelo-k2y Hello Stochelo from Joe Nania
Great stuff. Grisman opened up my knowledge of Grappelli and Django. He deserves a ton of credit. I was a bluegrass picker in the 70s when Grisman and Rice came on the scene. Their interpretations of Gypsy Jazz ignited a generation of players.
and one of those generations inspired me when I started to hang around with them, and my thanks and gratitude to all of them!
Oh, Johnny! Your time at the helm of the Tonight Show was truly a Golden Age. A real fan of Jazz. Almost 7 1/2 minutes of a very popular show devoted to these extremely talented musicians so that all of American could be exposed. Try to find anything close today anywhere but PBS.
I love the fact that they performed two selsctions. You would never see that now. In 1978ish I attended a Stephan Grappelli show near Brattleboro Vt. He performed a long show and then came out for a final encore. He sat down at the piano and started to play it as the audiance stood silently in awe listening. I remember my face was frozen with a dropped jaw for the duration of that beautiful,impressive and graceful encore.
My goodness. Stunning performance.
@ Peter Grubbs I got see Stephane at a concert in Houston in the early 80s. So memorable playing all those tunes with his longtime partner Django. It was a treat to hear him. The concert was played at a swanke auditorium and my cousin and I felt out of place with all the folks in tuxedos and fancy dresses, but still remember how amazing this guy was at his age. Great memories. Glad I found this video.
I have feelings of pure joy when i listen to this. I'm going to share this with everybody I know. Music is the best medicine in the world!!!
And a shout out to a very young Mike Marshall, who we have gone on to enjoy for years!
Thank you for mentioning Mike. He doesn't like to acknowledge his Fl. Bluegrass Boys time, but I will tell you, he impressed immediately. You knew the kid was going places.
🐊 the Gator
Let us not forget those who have made this life a joy to behold ! Magnificence and joyful sounds !
You got that one right Bill!!
Fabulous! Stephane was one-of-a-kind. I don't expect to see another as good as him in my lifetime.
You would NEVER see anything like this on today's late night TV. Carson was awesome!
Hey now, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon had SLOWTHAI FT. SKEPTA
(yeah, I know...like who's that?)
Just great musicians!
It isn't the shows as much as it is the increasingly unsophisticated audience that only listen to crap.
Carson had nothing to do with booking guests.
Maybe not today, but Letterman consistently had top guests on his show.
I remember watching this in Carson the night it aired. Brilliant!
So many favourite albums bought HOT DAWG back in the late 70s and still get chills when l play it today although mainly jazz tunes there's a tinge of bluegrass in the first track DAWGS BULL hence dawg music the musicianship is out of this world and with Stephan Grapelli David Grisman Tony Rice Mick Marshall and Darol Anger and l think Todd Philips on bass this album is still blows me away to this day.
Glad I grew up during this era, when TV was a lot more hip. You could actually see skilled musicians, playing a variety of styles of music. Thanks to Johnny Carson, a small-town kid like me could see and hear not only this clip, but also Lionel Hampton, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, B.B. King, Chet Atkins, and many more. Great stuff!
Thanks for that soundtrack to King of the Gypsies and those stunning shows at the Great American Music Hall. Thanks especially for that first one in Santa Cruz at the Back Room!
A gold mine find! Been waiting a long time to find this one from the Johnny Carson archives. I am backing up my mentor on guitar! Stephane Grappelli.
Stephane Grappelli, David Grisman, Mark O'Connor - The Johnny Carson Show (1979)
Mark O'Connor Didn't you also play over this episode's ending credits?
mr occoner love those bellbottoms
@@rootsfiddler Mr. O'Connor can correct if I am wrong, but I think they finished with a version of "Tiger Rag"
😍
That is surrealistic.
In the second piece, the bassist puts up his "Atilla the hun" look and means mean business! No prisoneers will be taken! I love this!
Dear God! That is totally amazing!!! I cannot get over how Stephane drops out and then moves back in so SMMMOOOTHLY that you barely notice him until he knocks your socks off again! lol. The entire group was amazing and you could see how you all fed off of each other. That's something most of us will never experience, but it's so appreciated that you shared it! Thank you!
I'm glad I saw these guys at the Great American Music Hall. Stephane's group as well. Let's just say the women in the audience were smitten with Stephane, that ol' smoothie made it look easy and blew those kids off the stage every time. Great piano player as well.
I saw Grappelli play in Chicago at the Parke West nightclub in Lincoln Park many years ago....Grappelli only got better as he got older! Hard to believe but true!
How cool is this? I was fortunate enough to catch this band at the Berklee performance center that very year. GREAT show. I was not only impressed by the Grand National Fiddle Champ playing guitar, but by Grappelli playing piano and how he sounded exactly the same on piano as he did on violin. NO question who was playing those keys. One of the best shows I saw while I was getting my diploma there.
Fantastic that you said this! I was going to tell that story, as I too was at the concert at Berklee in Boston, Sept.20, 1979. I only know the exact date because I found a CD of that night's show, on Warner Archives. Incredible players, and I remember Stephane sat down at the piano as the band took a break, and said, "Excuse me while I practíce" and I thought, wow - he just turned his violin into a piano and kept right on playing beautifully!
Really fun and truly masterful performances!
@@onenowago6676 Wasn't that a great show? I had NO idea it was available on CD, I'm going to have to look for that one. Thanks for that info!
I was SO impressed by Grapelli, I had NO idea he was a piano player. But as soon as he started playing, it was clear it was him and no one else at those keys. I have never heard anyone sound THAT much the same on two different instruments.
It was a great night, everyone was spot on and clearly having a ball. And how fun, after all these years, to run across someone who was also there!
@@willmorrison1022 It really was a terrific concert! And while their style is not my main focus musically, I instantly knew that these were brilliant artists! They provide infinite inspiration to want to improve my acoustic and electric chops.
Curious if you might enjoy some of our prog-rock material ... ruclips.net/channel/UC2aahjMbMT6y4NOFhj86FKQ
@@onenowago6676 I"ll give it a listen, thanks for the link. And in reply, I will include one of my own. This is a thing I did a few years ago for a radio show spot audition. I didn't win, but this was fun to put together. Hope it's fun for you, it was for me.
ruclips.net/video/zveSfoWwdZQ/видео.html
a young Mark O'Connor on guitar - I had is first (I think only) guitar LP and loved it - would to hear him back on guitar sometime. Amazing.
My wife and I attended a concert with Grappelli and the Grisman Quintet at the Salt Lake City Symphony Hall this brings back fond memories of that show.
Wow... the intensity! And the love... what great guys, and what great music. Beee-youuu-teaaa-fullll!!!!
Grappelli and Django will live forever!
you'd never see any performance like this on live TV now because it's pure music. Grappelli was a beast, as is everyone there on stage with him, the least of which is Mark O'Connor. It takes a purist of sorts to appreciate this stuff. The Grisman/Tony Rice stuff is in another realm also. In a way, I'm surprised that Carson took the leap to have them on the show, as this stuff is way left of main-stream music.
The 70’s had the musicians of the 1930’s thru the 60’s, plus all the wildly talented up and comers. We’ll never have a collection of musical geniuses all performing at a high level like that ever again. What an amazing time for the artists and audiences. Fast forward to 2022.... better yet, just thankful that I lived during an era when I got to watch John Lee Hooker, Larry Coryell, Humble Pie, and countless others, in packed venues with crowds who weren’t thinking about anything other than having a good time and enjoying real music.
a lot of talent on that stage!
OH MOMMA still such a treat to hear !!
That is some hot stuff I mean epic Stephane looks so happy and Dog so young and Mark on the guitar. That's one for the scrapbook for sure. Much respect Mr. O'Connor I like what you're doing with your beautiful family so much talent and great tunes.
DAWG.
Oh man...this is powerful
THANK YOU for posting this - never seen it before and I'm a HUGE Stephane fan! The rest of the crew ain't bad either - LOL
absolutely brilliant, love it!
Beside Shakti, Flairck, The Bothy Band, the music and playing of David Grisman quartets and quintets of the 70´s / 80´s belong to my most inspiring creative acoustic music ever. I was listening to it that time day and night. It is so good to listen to it today again.
This video is a real treasure, thx for posting!!
shariscan Funny you mention the Bothy Band !!
I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin Burke (another master) and being taught by him in the Autumn Fiddle school in Baltimore (Ireland) couple years ago.
Also went to see Stephane at his 70th Birthday gig in Bangor North Wales........absolutely epic !!
David is positively beaming at Stephane...FUN!
Thanks Mark! What a treasure! 🎶😎🎶
If I remember right Stephanes guitar player had a last minute emergency and couldn't make it he tour. Stephanie called Grisnan and asked him if he knew anyone who could do the gig. Stephan gave him Marks number, and Mark took the gig backing up Stephan on guitar. Stephan didn't know Mark also played violin until one night someone in the audience shouted out for Mark to play some violin. So after the gig Stephan asked Mark to play something on the violin, which was received very favorably by Stephan. Hope I got the story right.
Not quite right. You will have to read this great account in my memoir out this year called "Crossing Bridges." Available at Amazon.
Effortless mastery. Thanks for posting, Mark!
Really great of you to post this - fantastic! Thank you!
Mark, I got to see Stephane play *twice* in the 80s; the 2nd time, I brought my dad to the show, as Grappelli's genius was just about the only thing my dad and I ever agreed on, musical or otherwise! I also saw you, Mark, playing with the Dregs on the Industry Standard tour, trading guitar licks with Steve Morse, black Gibson Les Paul versus Franken-Fender!
Wow! Thanks for posting Mark!
Wow, does Rob Wasserman look young in this video. Miss you, Rob!
Johnny gave them the sign of approval at the end.. BEAUTIFUL
Saw this show in Roslyn probably that time. Mark was announced as the North American fiddle Champ. Still one of the top shows I have ever seen. Grappelli was a magician
Grappelli on fire on that second number.
Man, it does't get any better than this. This could cure Cancer!
Makes me want to laugh or cry; it's so good!
I didn't realize that Mark O'Connor played guitar. And very well. Excellent, in fact.
OMG. AWESOME.
I met Stephane in Stinson Beach where he was rehearsing with the Rowan Brothers.
I went and got a fiddle the next day.
What a guy!
I saw Grisman quintet with Tony at Stinson Beach, stormy night drive there from Santa Cruz, but a small loving , venue of fans of Grisman's tight arrangements. Todd Philips on Bass, Darol, and of course the irreplacable Tony Rice on Guitar.
In addition to his many other musical virtues, when it came to side men, he sure knew how to pick 'em. (Hah!! Because he's a good "picker", right? God I'm stupid. lol)
Outstanding!!!! I only wish that they would have cut MOC loose for a guitar break!
I was lucky enough to see Stephane in a small club setting (Red Creek in Rochester, NY) in this very year if memory serves. He had two guitarists as his only accompaniment, both with extensive track records, both names escaping me now (I wanna say Etheridge was one last name...) It was amazing of course. Red Creek was incredible. In a four year span I managed to see David Lindley (got there early, ate dinner during their sound check, had wings with Dave), this show, Brownie McGee and Sonny Terry, Tower of Power, and probably others I'm forgetting. Now it's a damn sports bar...
Saw him at "The Other End" in the Village NYC about '77 or '78 (formerly and once again "The Bitter End"). For once in my life, motivated myself to go see someone in person that I loved before they retired or died. Almost like a great honor to be there.
Always loved David's tones on a Loar... especially that particular one.
Kevin L. That's a 1925 Fern. Made a year after Loar left Gibson. It's as close as you can get to one though! I love the Loar he owns now. Incredible instrument.
@@herringbone72 Is that, "Crusher"?
@@gutbucket260 no, crusher is a 1922 Gibson Lloyd Loar F-5. He didn't have it when this video was made.
Killer track. Awsome rhythm Mark. I always loved how musical and lyrical Grapelli was. Very lyrical. The guy played the violin like a French chef sniffing a dish. Nostrils wide opened, nose in the air while his eyes were mostly shut. Almost as if he was tasting the air around him.
Lovin' this one, MOC! Thx for posting!
Just brilliant. I loved Hot Dawg when it cane out and it's great to see some live music from that era. And your chord work around the last couple of minutes is just incredible. What an incredible groove.
It was like an enlightning bolt of musical genius, man. I was less than pleased with the decade of disco dominance, and Grisman pointed me towards music and musicians that were more fulfilling.
Mr Mark O, thank you so much for taking the time & sharing such an incredible moment with us out here around the world.
Oh &
PS
Thank you for saving democracy with your improvisations 4 Democracy.
I enjoyed this. Never heard of them before but enjoyed their playing.
Wonderful! Masters!!!!
I remember the first time I heard Stephane, he was playing with Django Reinhardt. We dubbed the music 'Acid Swing'
Well, I knew this two songs were not in Hot Dawg, which is the record shown at the start of the video, so I had to do a little research. I found them on the three disc compilation "DGQ20" (Acoustic Disc ACD-20). The first Song is "Dawgma" and the second is "Swing '39". Love all these guy's music.
Another album from that time period is "Stephane Grappelli / David Grisman Live. Recorded at Berklee Center, Boston; Sept. 20, 1979. Satin Doll was recorded Sept. 7, 1979 in the Great American Music Hall, San Francisco.
RIP Stephane. You just oozed cool.
Great music making! 🤙❤️
O'Connor comping is pure beauty.
5 Incredible Musicians !!!
Wow! All stars!
Gorgeous!!
Hot Dawg... I love these guys and their beautiful music!
Wow!! That's great Mark. You introduced me to Stephane at Vanderbilt. That's some GREAT music brother. Hope you're doing well my friend.
Saw Grappelli back in the 90's in Toronto, one of his last concerts. He was old and frail, so frail in fact that the person escorting and aiding him on his walk across the stage to his chair was the late great Jeff Healey (Jeff was an awesome singer and guitar player with a unique style of playing ... oh, and he was also blind from very early childhood.)
But despite being almost unable to walk on his own anymore, his playing was the same as always .. the sweetest sound in the world.
Missed you Mark this year at Grey Fox. Hope you're back next year.
It can't be done, except they just did it!
great......the best
Fantastico!
I believe that is a very young Mike Marshall on the far left.
They were all so young back then.....
I distinctly remember watching this live and thinking to myself "Well, I can stop playing now".
But NO! Keep it alive.
Mark sounding great on rhythm guitar!
lol You know you've got a talented ensemble when MARK O'CONNOR is "some guy on rhythm guitar". That's like saying Union Station has "Oh, and some guy on dobro.". (Awesome performance, and I probably couldn't even keep up on the rhythm parts.)
not just some guy , but some 17 year old guy from the wrong side of Seattle. The cream always rises to the top no matter where it starts out.
sooooooo coool!
Simple question: I've been trying to find the name of the first song they played. I heard it many times on an independent radio station in the 80's and can't find it on RUclips. Drives you crazy sometimes.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
The Tonight Show band was probably thinking how can we get these guys to join us
What's not to love about this?
Great
Grappelli was a gift from God - 👏✨
France.
I've seen this incredible clip before, and always wondered why Mark didn't take a solo on any of the three instruments that he can play so well. Anyone know?
I saw the Kansas City date referred to at the Uptown Theater. They then went to Winfield Kansas and performed at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival. David got in a little trouble with another type of grass there.
I'd love to know how old Stephane is in this clip. He's beauty in motion.
Holy Shit!
Very cool, Mark :)
Can anyone provide the names of the tunes please? Really digging this!
The first Song is "Dawgma" and the second is "Swing '39"
Thanks! I have Jethro and Tiny Moore doing Swing 39 on their Back To Back album. I should have recognized it.
S.Grappelli played with Django Reinhardt in Paris and other places YEARS ago...
Ah yeah, the legendary "Hot Club of France". You still hear Djangos' influence today, but I was unaware that Mark considered Grappeli his mentor. Live and learn, and it actually makes sense, though Marks' eclecticism kind of hides the influence unless he playing some hot jazz stuff. Wonderful.
What a bassist Jesus
Very advanced group , beyond me.
I must say the music is "O SO FINE;" however the entire group is looking good as far as their choice of attire. David Grisman looks like David, not Dawg. Love those pants he's wearing.
Did Darol Anger sit this tour out?
If you like Grappelli and Grisman have a try on Django Reinhardt. Bluegrass rules, Jazz too 🤟
Le Jazz HOT!
Only Grappelli could have the great Mark O'Connor on rhythm guitar!
PPMFJI, but that's a bit more than rhythm guitar. lol If I could play rhythm guitar like that I'd be touring. Still boggles me that they can move so quickly and never miss a note.
velvetunderpants44 wonder if Grapelli knew that one of the greatesr fiddler was on guitar that night?
Yep, he did!
@@glaucoma888
Someone mind telling me the name of the first song?
Mike Marshall on mandolin, Rob Wasserman on bass?
Yep thats da Gator
is that mike marshall?
Yes it is. Mike was my guitar teacher long ago.
What are the tunes? Such a great bunch of musicians. So, Carson messed up the name of Grappelli's and Django's Hot Club of France. Big deal. Only a few of us would notice that after being blown away by this great music.
