as someone whose played music for 16 years and plays many genres and has heard many things, i can say that without a doubt, this is the most beautiful piece of music i’ve ever heard. i will never forget the time i first heard this song
it's a shame not more people have seen this video. the musicianship is extraordinary, the song is great, and then, there's Alison. what more could you want?
Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush and Allison se escucha excelente, ojala pueda estar Bela Fleck y Mark Oconnor como en el festival 1988, un saludo desde El Salvador amigos
It definitely is, VERY well done.. and I'm glad Gordon Lightfoot is at least mentioned somewhere here, as it is his song after all. Is he even mentioned anywhere in the video?
@@esoxenvy3112 No he’s not mention. I’ve always loved this song. I first heard it on Tony Rice is 1988 album Native American. In fact and Tony’s 1986 album Me and My Guitar, five of the 12 songs recorded were written by Gordon Lightfoot. Such classic songs that lend themselves to a bluegrass interpretation. Speaking of Tony, it’s too bad when it came to his solo spot in this video the camera did not zoom in. His playing style is quite a thing to see up close.
I think the reason is because Tony dubbed in a different break than what the camera actually showed. If you watch some of what the camera did grab then you can tell, hes not really playing what he laid down so. I think he went and redone the solo. Could be wrong but that is what I believe happened. Tony did struggle a lot in later years with his solos. Granted what he plays is absolute gold, but he may not have been happy with the original solo.
I know it's not Gordon Lightfoot, but still... there is nothing Alison Krauss sings that isn't tasteful, emotional, and beautiful. She can cover anything she wants as far as I'm concerned. I'd trust her to redo Mt Rushmore and still do a wonderful job. And this band... my God this band. Can they lay down a lush blanket that floats like a cloud, but has groove and rhythm all at the same time or what?
Allison, known for her vocal chops, was the Illinois State Fiddle Champion in 1983 at the age of 12! She is a flat out virtuoso who surrounds herself with such great musicians that she often defers to Tony or Jerry or whomever when it comes time for the solos. So, make the songs a little longer, but Alison needs to play more fiddle. So says me, and lots of others, I'll bet.
...once again, tone-deaf people in charge of camera work can't manage to capture Tony's solo.....when will we ever have people with EARS doing the video??
I love this rendition AND YET the video carefully avoids any fret work by Tony Rice, implying that what we hear is not happening any this session. Just saying.
There is a spot reserved for Alison on heaven's choir...no doubt in my mind.
Tony Rice my guitar hero, and beautiful angelic Alison Krauss doing a Lightfoot song...RIP Tony..
Masters of this genre? Wow.
RIP Tony Rice
With all of the instruments playing. I can clearly hear Tony ringing through. I miss you, my old friend.
Beautiful RIP Tony
There is so much greatness exposed in this one video. It's breathtaking!!
as someone whose played music for 16 years and plays many genres and has heard many things, i can say that without a doubt, this is the most beautiful piece of music i’ve ever heard. i will never forget the time i first heard this song
Perfect performance by some of my most beloved musicians...thank you all
Brilliant musician that I had a chance in my life to listen and enjoyed God bless forever ❤❤❤
Tony's melodic playing is so advanced with all the rhythmic nuances. That is the sound and structure i strive to put into my bluegrass solos.
Sweet and bittersweet. But such a beautiful recording.
Simply sublime. Exquisite vocal and supreme musicianship !
it's a shame not more people have seen this video. the musicianship is extraordinary, the song is great, and then, there's Alison. what more could you want?
Thank you Gordon for a great song. It was good on Tony's album and of course Gordon's and now Alison's.
Love this Lightfoot song. I really love this version. You guys are great. Allisons voice is made for this song.
The mix on this recording is incredible.
Simply beautiful, lovely every second of that was beautiful what talent and what musicians fantastic
This touches my soul..
I have loved this song for decades, 1975. still a great song and they do it well.
Damn, pretty much perfect on by all accounts.
Lightfoot back from the brink, Rice and Krauss. It couldn't get much better.
Simply beautiful!!
That was just beautiful, so moving! I would love to hear an entire album of Alison and Union Station performing Gordon Lightfoot’s songs!
The best album that never was...
This is peak acoustic music
Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush and Allison se escucha excelente, ojala pueda estar Bela Fleck y Mark Oconnor como en el festival 1988, un saludo desde El Salvador amigos
that’s awesome !!
Legend.

Wow.

That is beyond fabulous !
Magic....
Perfect. Allison and the band sound angelic.
Beautiful and beautifully captured performance
Stunning !
Never get tired of this.
Exquisite!!
WHEW ! Great to see a bunch of people doing what they love to do. Thank You for shareing with us.
2 great musicians complementing each other with equally as talented players magnificent
There are more than 2 great musicians there.
Don’t think I’d ever seen this version before. Thank you so much for this! One of my favorite tunes Tony did.
Ah beautiful rendition of the great Gordon Lightfoot’s song.
It definitely is, VERY well done.. and I'm glad Gordon Lightfoot is at least mentioned somewhere here, as it is his song after all. Is he even mentioned anywhere in the video?

Simply beautiful! ✨
Great version! Too bad the camera didn't catch a CU of Tony's solo...

A Hundred Miles or More
Excellent video but I found myself yelling at the camera man during Tony's solo...
me too!
Looks like during that session they were just doing rhythm. They probably overdubbed that solo. I don't know why they didn't film it though....

Why so few if any close ups on Tony’s picking and fretting?
Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss and Vince Gill. they all have something in common, their voices are all almost the same, high pitch
can someone identify the mics used here?
...once again, tone-deaf people in charge of camera work can't manage to capture Tony's solo.....when will we ever have people with EARS doing the video??
Probably an overdub is my guess
Blam it on the editing......
Shes a stellar indvidual. Miss Alison Maria Krauss. ♡ @jamesw.mooreOFFICIAL
I love this rendition AND YET the video carefully avoids any fret work by Tony Rice, implying that what we hear is not happening any this session. Just saying.
What studio was this recorded in?
what is this from? I'd love to see the whole thing if possible?
Alisson Krauss DVD: A hundred miles or more
What year was this, please? Thanks.
A Hundred Miles Or More: Live From the Tracking Room DVD was 2008
What video is this clip from?
It's called A Hundred Miles or More
A string band, and not a violin, cello or violin in sight. Wrote post before Allison's picked up the fiddle
The video miss on Tony's solo is just...criminally bad production. Wow.
Alison's vocal renditon was great .But Tony's solo had to be the Top Highlight !!
