Beautifully shot, Kenneth! I saw the band in LA in December. They were just awesome. Reminded me of seeing Jerry Garcia's band when I was younger. Molly is one of the greatest guitarists I've ever seen live. Yet, she's so humble, never hogs the spotlight, and lets her band shine. That's a true leader.
I didn't like blue grass until Molly Tuttle. She, and her band are, as far as I am concerned, are as great a musicians as any of the top artists back in the 60,70,and80s. They're aren't many true artists after that. Great music!
Super Moon was Brilliant, and that shared break with Bronwyn and Molly was off the charts, but listening with headphones and not watching the video, I was blown away by Shelby's bass. She was tearing up during that same break.
Saw them last night in Connecticut, expecting to see a solidly great bluegrass show, never expected to leave there thinking I had just witnsessed one of the most dynamic performances I had seen in the last 5 years, and that 5 years has been filled with a lot of shows in this genre(Sierra Hull, Sarah Jarosz, I'm With Her, Watchhouse, Chris Thile and the Punch Brothers, Sierra Ferrell, to name a few). Molly andn her band are so in tune with each other and bring a level of stage presence and performance not often seen in this genre. The medley of Alice in the Bluegrass into White Rabbit gave me full body chills, it was stunning!!
@@carolharper2366 That medley was the highlight of a show that was filled with highlights. Had to google the lyrics to Alice in the Bluegrass, they are brilliant!!
How can it be explained to you guys? This has left Bluegrass far behind, this is something new and Better. Fantastic, beautiful, let them ROCK. A message from England.
@@Frisbieinstein Hi, they may have been Bluegrass, and nothing wrong with that all, it's great. But this band have moved up by some levels. they produce something new and imaginative, all of the individual members add up something very special. I've heard nothing so original since the old days of the English prog. rock movement. I absolutely love it.
I have always thought that bluegrass is one of the most tradition-bound and conservative (musically, not politically) genres of roots music. That viewpoint comes from having seen and heard a lot of bluegrass bands that sound and look the same, or from having been reproached for doing things like improvising on a tune and being told, "That's not the way Bill Monroe played it." Of course, I know that is only one viewpoint , and that in reality the music is always evolving and changing. I remember even in the 1970s when no one less than Earl Scruggs was catching flak for bringing drums and electric instruments into his band, and for hanging out with longhairs. Still, I am surprised at how in just a few generations, bluegrass has gone from old men in matching suits to Millennials in hot pants. Superb musicianship though.
Agreed. Sam's whole monologue just before he plays Turkey In The Straw with Sierra is great: "I just wanna say how proud I am of Sierra, for kicking all the good old boys in the ass in the world of mandolin. Bluegrass... It ain't just for boys anymore... I want a T-shirt that says that."
Dam, thats one Happy Bass!! Shelby makes it sound n look amazing. Great tone, Excellent Video and Sound... Really Good Stuff!!! Hope to see this group live!!! Best music ive heard in awhile...
The wierd thing is, around the late 50's came the inventon of the "transistor radio". They figured since the whole tubes thing could be reduced to the size of a package of figs, you don't need any big speaker. So about two generations of people grew up with almost never hearing any bass notes.
You always have some great videos I live in Oklahoma City and would love to catch some of these shows 👍🏾🔥 them girls playing the hell outta those instruments ❤
As a jazz musician I'd say this is simple harmonically. A lot of one-chord sections. More like a sped-up Grateful Dead jam. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Enjoy and have fun!
Love the dueling fiddle and guitar, and wow, what some nice legs on those ladies, I don't see how those two guys can concentrate on their instruments LOL
One of the biggest mistakes in my life..... letting my wife talk me out of going to this concert! My children took me to the brewery by that venue, great Father's Day with my kids, but kept thinking about missing that concert :(
Those long legs on that fantastic lady musician match up nicely with her scratching that gitfiddle . If I wasn't 80 Im sure I'd come a calling. Maybe take a walk down by the river after church. Leave the music to the ladies. Lads you need to watch this once and listen to it the second time.
Technically, she's 10x better than Billy Strings BUT Billy is the total entertainment package... Her and the other female members don't need to dress in fish net stockings and hot pants IMNSHO though. Kinda' demeaning.
It's not demeaning if that's how they chose to dress nobody is making them dress like that.and all there showing is there legs which women do all the time.
Music? I get distracted by Shelby on a good day let alone in cut offs........no seriously I really like the music Molly, Kyle, Dominic, Bronwyn and Shelby play.
No rhythm in this set up. Playing solos is not enough. A firm straight rhythm has to keep it together. Now I hear only chaotic tones like tuning instruments independently from others.
