Pretty much whenever there is one of these “all stars on stage at once” encores at a show, it really just degrades quickly into a horrible mess (- Sorry, but as much as I love Neil and Bob, they’re both guilty of this) but this was the one time it worked great.
Can you imagine the Rolling Stones or Taylor Swift or Coldplay stepping out after a show, standing in a crowd of fans, and leading them in an ecstatic moment? No. Nothing against them but the possibility and execution of this choice is what makes bluegrass and acoustic music special.
Thank u for posting! Great being in there last night all together! I was directly behind Chris, about 18 inches or less off his shoulder, and there was no way I was pulling out a phone to hold in his face to shoot video, so I really appreciate a record of this performance! All the best to you- that’s another Telluride Bluegrass in the books- See you next year!
I love it when musicians choose to hold back for the sake of the music. Great humility and self control particularly of egos. I am a huge punch brothers and Watchhouse fan, this is really great.
Once I was asked....Who is your favorite country/folk singer? I replied....Actually I would like to name 3. Okay, they said. #1 Emmylou Harris...#2 Emmylou Harris...#3 Emmylou Harris.
The contributions that Emmylou has brought to the wide stage of musical talent l don’t think can be measured she’s beyond all the great compliments we can think of at this point. She’s one genuine soul for sure!!!
