all these comments, and not one mention of the stellar Bela Fleck "Bluegrass Sessions" set thats the 2nd half. I believe that band is Earl Scruggs, Vassar Clements, John Hartford, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Mark Schatz, and Stuart Duncan, with Bryan Sutton sitting in for Tony Rice who couldn't be on the tour.
I think Alison Krause might have a crush on her fans. I know every time I see her play and sing she brings unexpected overwhelming tears of joy and enchanting love to an entire audience struck in awe by the knowledge this ongoing show is a heaven sent escalator to bliss. She has a sparkle.
@@midnighttoker8663 But, but, it really is Alison, and she has a multi-million dollar inheritance she needs your help getting out of customs in Nigeria!! 😂
Yeah good, I think the stuff she’s doing now with the man. Robert plant , now is on another level, She blossoms with him and they make music fly ,? 💖💫👏 possibly
Alison singing Todd Rundgren's It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference is magical, but everything she sings is magical. Jerry Douglas is the master of the Dobro, no one else even comes close.
I found this info about these two sets: Alison Krauss & Union Station Alison Krauss : fiddle, vocals Dan Tyminski : guitar, mandolin, vocals Ron Block : guitar, banjo, vocals Barry Bales : upright & electric bass, vocals Jerry Douglas : dobro Larry Atamanuik : drums Broadcasted Date : 2000 Bela Fleck's Bluegrass Sessions with Earl Scruggs & Vassar Clements Bela Fleck : banjo, vocals Sam Bush : mandolin, vocals Jerry Douglas : dobro, vocals Stuart Duncan : fiddle Bryan Sutton : guitar Mark Schatz : bass Earl Scruggs : banjo Vassar Clements : fiddle Recorded Date : 10/11/1999 1. Valley 2. White House Blues 3. Spanish Point 4. Home Sweet Home 5. Salty Dog Blues 6. Ground Speed 7. Interviews
WOW, love to hear RWT played like that. Also the Union Station Patented Dozer-Grass (my fave) Juggernaught rolls over us at 15:54, with an astonishing fiddle kickoff,... yeah, Alison. Wild Bill Jones! ... As AK sez, it's got something for everyone.
The Bible speaks of a 'weight of glory' - that doesn't necessarily mean heaviness - just light and excellence. And everything here has that quality - the venue and audience in Austin are appreciative and classy; Alison has a voice like light itself, and puts on a whole other game face when she digs into the fiddle; Jerry Douglas is the dobro GOAT and for decades has shown up with so many world-class performers on every inhabited continent; it is so great to hear a guitar break from Dan Tyminski - who seldom stands forth (unless he's covering himself voicing George Clooney), and is a warm, multiply gifted human being. The entire ensemble embodies 'all due respect' in the very best sense - for the audience, for one another and for the music. Glorious, Alison. Thanks filirani. And God.
PS The second program in this double-header is an all-star affair, too - Bela Fleck, Stuart Duncan and Vassar Clements, Jerry Douglas (he is everywhere), Sam Bush, Brian Sutton (I think - they all look so young) - don't know the gentleman on bass, but someone here will, I bet :-). Chamber music, backporch jam - this is high wire work with no safety net, and just wonderful. Bela paid for the whole fretboard, and makes sure he uses it all :-). And Earl Scruggs!
Bela fleck sam bush jerry douglas get after it on 2nd half of this video. Check out their strength in numbers album. Telluride sessions. 1989. Amazing work.
Do you have the Austin City Limits Season 25 opening credits from 2000? It shows people in many different activities from around Austin at night, the Austin City Limits Twenty-Five Years of American Music logo appear, and Lickona's voice said: "Recorded live from Austin, Texas, Austin City Limits celebrates 25 years of American music". At the end of the opening credits, we see the Austin City Limits logo on a hand, the screen flashes white, and we see a shot of Willie Nelson from Season 25, Episode 4, the text "created by Bill Arhos" appear.
The beginning has a black person playing the guitar and people walking. Not sure if it's the Austin City Limits Opening theme song by John Mills. Cannot find a video of this theme song which is the best one that Austin City Limits had
