When I was learning to play bass, wayyyy back in the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s, I had two “bass teachers” or mentors… Nick Forester and John Cowan were those two. Nick told me once that my comments to him as being a great bassist were the first he had ever gotten. He really considered himself a guitarist more than anything. I agree he is a great guitarist! But his ability to play “simple” sounding (which they are not simple) bass lines in a way that they are colorful, tasteful and groovy at the same time that adds soooo much to the song is why he is one of my favorite musicians in the world.
This is amazing,and Bryans solo is the best and most tasty one iv heard of this song. Its tricky but still he sticks to the melody well and aint all over the fingerboard. Cudos to him. Superb overall performance !
I agree - it's really rare to see Bryan control the urge to overdo - he's better than just about anyone else (except maybe Ricky Skaggs) but doesn't always control himself. He really does great on this video, though!
I agree Bryan sticks to business and is not moving far up the neck. When he is making his exit out of the break, I see his head as he has that movement in time withe music, He is telling the world he is doing this break as no other. Amazing moves on the frets and the tone is amazing
Ignorance is not necessarily bliss - that's more like meeting Hot Rize on their 40th anniversary. I'm late to countless great parties. So...even in my dark cave, I've known (of) all-star guests Jerry Douglas and Sam Bush, and 2nd-generation band member Bryan Sutton for a while. Tim O'Brien came out of myUA-cam shadows a few days ago, and I met Pete Wernick and Nick Forster today. I gather that Hot Rize has Colorado history; me, too. I know Tim's from West Virginia. He reminds me of a lot of Scots-Irish folks I knew in that neck of the woods - wry, and playing the dickens out of anything with strings. The band's forty years have created a rich patina of harmony, skill and class, and left no rust I can see or hear. Share the joy, y'all!
I love the way that the boys mess with meter - they can all speed up together and slow down together - it adds so much excitement and swing to the performance.
Tim. We are doing this song in the key of B. I am new to the mandolin. I mama fiddle player. But this style is new to me too. I have always done old times style. I don’t suppose you would record a short version on the break and maybe show me the chords ?
Since when does a good banjo player use a Capo. A good banjo player does not need one. Look at Don Reno or Pat Cloud, needs someone to show him how to play right. I know someone that plays better and can do it without a Capo and Pete Wernick talked down to him, must be scared he would show him up. Pete claims to be the doctor of the banjo, he is just a med tech of the banjo.
Im not a great picker, but I have seen a fair number of the greats, and they all used capos one time or another. It's about making good music,. It's not a competition.
It rarely gets much better than these guys. Makes me glad I have ears.

If you haven't seen Hot Rize you don't know what you're missing. They are great!
Tim sang this song to my dad on his death bad thanks so much Tim
Tim’s one of the finest musicians who was born in West Virginia

He's so in the zone!

Love these guys

You've got it all. Voice, musicianship, astonishingly good instrument.
Tim has marvelous voice, like Lester Flatt and Dudley Connell!!!
This is the very best. Just love it. Surely add to my favorites.
Damn! Never get enough of these guys! 40-year fan! Keep it up, boys!
One of my all time favorite bands.
Brilliant!
Great playing wonderful to listen to
Hot Rize has been a leader for decades and still kicks butt. Great performance!
Always loved this group .Fine singers and musicians.
Love this song and had to learn it!
My friend shared this to me
This will be a GREAT live album full of energy & passion! Best album of the year along with Travelin McCourys album. A MUST HAVE!
Bryan Sutton is on fire here… so cool
Never better
I love the way that the boys mess with meter - they can all speed up together and slow down together - it adds so much excitement and swing to the performance.
Bravo. Superb ensemble. Crisp, soaring, exciting music.
I have a new favorite song!
Good sound. ❤
I was able to see Hot Rize ca. 1988 in CT. Miss Charles Sawtelle’s amazing flat picking that was always just enough not way “over embellishing.”
Look at Tims right hand! Thats a CHOP!
Tim is both an excellent singer and that mandolin style is top of the list .
Who is playing the banjo? At 0:25 Pete stops playing ynd the banjo is still ringing :-D !!
Oh my, well spotted. Thought he might've been using a loop but can't see any pedal.

Pete Goble, one of the great bluegrass songsriters wrote this great song!
Jerry Douglas,doing what other Dobro players dream of.
tippimail1 sorry can't stand Jerry Douglas.
@@robertrockwell7581Um, why? Cuz he’s so good and you’re jealous? I have heard that Bill Monroe didn’t like dobro in general.
First time I saw Jerry was with you all
Wow....the prewar D-28 Sutton is currently playing is a hoss. Best tone I've heard other than Tony Rice's bone.
Their suits are much nicer now
Jerry is the best.
Jerry is playing in boothbay me. Next week…. He is the best ever to pick up a dobro!
You must be listening to a lot of music tonight. Good sounds!😅
This was just last year? They sound amazing
I think it’s the album recording dubbed over...
@@meow_bastard It's live.
way way too fast. love this song but why does everybody do it at 99 miles a hour.?.
@Charles Stockdale Let us know when you can do it better.
@@brianneligan6870 I can't do it better and no sense in being a ass about it. I just said I love the song but it was way to fast.
@@robertrockwell7581 I apologize for my snarky comment. No excuses.
Jerry Douglas and Brian Sutton rule!!!!
