5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for bluegrass lovers, September 8, 2006

This ranks with the all-time best concert movies--"Woodstock," "The Last Waltz," and "Stop Making Sense." The fact that it's a bluegrass film is a plus for fans of the genre.

Almost any chapter of the dvd is worth the entire price, but the Earl Scruggs banjo finale is breathtaking.

A beautiful piece of work, lovingly crafted and a one-of-a-kind experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Hail - The King Of Bluegrass DVDs, December 1, 2006

By 

Matteo Ringressi (Forlì, Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bluegrass Country Soul (DVD)

I'm a huge bluegrass DVDs and VHS collector, but I never saw anything like this in my whole collection. This is a serious must-have. If you ever been to a festival in the 70s (wich I haven't) you'll enjoy this DVD much more, it will bring back uncountable memories. It opens with a great footage of the Lilly Brothers & Don Stover with Tex Logan (wich is worth the price alone!) and it keeps going with Mac Wiseman, Earl Scruggs, the Bluegrass Alliance, JD Crowe, Blackwell & Collins and many many many more. It has a great quality, both video and audio, plus there's a great commentary by Fred Bartenstein (who actually was one of the organisers of the festival, when he sold Muleskinner News...). What are you waiting for? Buy it for they might be over soon :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Bluegrass Soul, January 9, 2007

The DVD has many of the real pioneers of Bluegrass music performing in their prime, it is a treat to watch, especially for a johnny-come-lately bluegrass fan as I am. There is a sense of something wholesome going on there, not like other musical festivals like Woodstock, where there is a sense of something perverse going on. I love it when rockers come to bluegrass, produce one of something worth listening to and then vanish, because they don't understand the culture of the men who make their living palying music they love. This CD does an excellent job of telling a story and showcasing some truly legendary acts.
