This brings back memories. Playing in this band was so easy, such solid rhythm, great playing, and singing with John Duffey - that required all you had to offer. He could hold a note longer than anyone I ever sang with. Hope more of this surfaces. Phil R.
The Scene was the best when Phil was singing and playing lead. John Starling was a bit before I was turned on to them. I enjoyed my weekly time at the Birchmere watching them perform. Just totally great musicians all the way around
My uncle was Mike Auldridge, and I had the joy of hearing some of the greats cover this song at MerleFest this past weekend with Jerry Douglas playing dobro, Peter Rowan, T. Michael Coleman, Sam Bush, among others. Amazing musicians.
Wow, I met your uncle Mike at Birckshire, also back stage at the Birchmere with my friend Joe Val, New England Bluegrass Boys . I was in contact with Mike about his Chesapeake endeavor before he passed! Ben I learned has passed recently too! Rosenthal, is he still with us?
Hey Jennifer, I knew the family well, especially your cousin Laura! I hope your Aunt Elise is doing well...are you a Kessler? Grew up in Woodmoor and miss those days!
RIP MIKE AULDRIDGE - I believe he is the best Dobro player who ever lived, founding member of my favorite Bluegrass band, The Seldom Scene, and a personal friend. He leaves a hole that music may not be able to fill.
i dont understand how everyone is sitting down i cant stop movin love this music drink a handful of beers and start jiggin even got 19 20 yr old brother and his freind and my 11 yr old boy just bustin out with a jig this music will never die
I can't believe that I get a chance to see this again. I about fell over when they played this at the Opry in 1979. I think John knew this was his first and last shot at the Opry establishment and he stuck it in their eye with his most acid grass song in their repertoire. However, he was able to showcase the musical prowess of the band. Duffy was one of the most hilarious front man ever. Sorely missed.
Privileged to see the Scene every year starting in '78 at Festival of the Bluegrass near Lexington. Our kids grew up hearing them and loving their music. Treasured memories of unparalleled musicians and vocal prowess.
The Best there ever was. I had the privilege of meeting Mike at a Festival in Stuart, Va. in 1978. I was trying to learn Dobro and Eventually took 8 lessons from Him. I still have the tapes. Yes I'm old. I still noodle around on my 51 Year old OMI. Mike and Josh were the best Dobro players ever. I cannot separate them because of their different styles.
John Duffy and Ben Eldridge are the only two people that can shred the mandolin and banjo like they do! I've always loved their music and enjoyed their shows. Great musicians they are. I miss J.D.s' tenor singing and his playing as I'm sure alot of us Seldom Scene fans will.
Man, that mando break was wild. I dont think anyone pushed the limits more than John. Most other mandolin pickers of this time period played pretty simple stuff, but John was like some rock and roll guitar player or something! John Duffey will live forever!
The Seldom Scene... in my opinion, the VERY BEST bluegrass band in the world during their time. They went beyond everyone and everybody. AND btw, John Duffy (the mandolin player) was a friend of mine
I saw the Seldom Scene at the Birchmere in the eighties. It was my indoctrination into bluegrass, and I will thank the lord forever for that. Go,Scene, and RIP for a great life in the hereafter for John Duffey, who was so sweet and made friends with my dad before he went. I mean, my dad was just a fan, and John reached out to him and made him a friend, and that is awesome.
Mr. Duffy has one of the most uniuque voices. I love this band, grew up listening to there records on my dad's old record player, im 26 by the way. And yes I play guitar (bluegrass style)
Having heard and seen The Seldom Scene in the D.C. area since 1972, the band at that point had heard The Grateful Dead play I Know You Rider. We were college students then and loved both bands so it was very cool for us to hear The Seldom Scene's spirited version.
lived "live in concert" 14 years. I disappeared from the heavy metal punk rock background Training in Art , fine antiques restoration . Famous College Radio WYSO Yellow Springs, Ohio Saturday eve plays 6 hours of the best bluegrass music that introduced me to Seldom-Scene 1984 and it changed my life . Grateful Dead is famous doing this song that came out of the late 20s 30s-40s patch work of writers.
One of the greatest bands ever in bluegrass music. Ck out the creases in Mike's jeans, he still wears them that way, always the gentleman. Gotta love Larry the Legend!
Used to see this band regularly around DC, Va., WV, like 35 years ago. Consistently good shows, some outdoor performances were really terrific. Glad to find this on the internets.
Whaow ! I've just seen these great band in Toulouse Bluegrass Festival FRANCE, in 1982, it was an unforgetable TIME, A GREAT CONCERT.Peace to the soul of John Duffey.
It took me some time to appreciate Bluegrass music -- but The Seldom Scene sealed the deal for me with this song! I first heard it in 1979 as a passenger in a 1947 Dodge truck that was bumping and grinding its gears through potholes on an unpaved road that led to my destiny. But it's only through hindsight that a person realizes that ...
Thank you to the families of these wonderful musicians..you share your legacy of having loved them and their passion and expression of their souls for all to experience freely. They will all be missed, never forgotten and their gifts will be shared generously in kind.
Call me bias because Mike Auldridge was my uncle but these guys were all amazing, thankfully my Uncle Tommy Auldridge is still alive and well and playing the Hell out of his pedal steel guitar! If you get a chance, you should give him a listen.
Seymour Void Productions I met your uncle Mike at a festival in Lebanon, VA in the late 70s. Great guy and best dobro player ever. I love Panhandle Country.
Used Michael Auldridge(Dobro) on a Kawasaki Motor Bike commercial in 1973 in Washington DC. Emmy Lou Harris sang lead on it with Fayssoux Starling singing background harmonies.He was a great player and a true gentleman as well as a fine commercial artist... RIP.
I'm grateful for these bluegrass pioneers! If it weren't for these guys, I would not be enjoying bluegrass music today! Thanks for positing this video!
C. McKiney: Pardon me, but why do you spell it 'brake': is that ignorant or on purpose? Makes it sound like the mandolin is applying a 'brake' to the music, which would be the opposite of a bluegrass 'break'.
Gone? Are you hearin' what I'm hearin? It will only get better over time like a fine wine with sound technology. Plus Soon there will be music made by (AI) of any artist you choose singing any song you choose. You will not be able to tell "Is it Live or is it Memorex" (Actual artist or AI)..... Did Joni Mitchell sing Froggie went a courting? One day she might. Wait for it.....
Jumping Jiminy, that's some of the finest playing and showmanship I've ever seen, and I've been a folkie most of my 68 years. I was introduced to this tune by Grateful Dead, but this verson blows them out of the water. "Eat your heart out Bill Monroe"? Yep, and eat your heart out Jerry Garcia, Mama's got a new crush. Or should I say 5 new crushes.
I was fortunate enough to see this steller band several times over the years.At the Strawberry Spring Music Festival,they headlined,the coolest thing about the outdoor folk and bluegrass festivals was seeing band members sitting around a camp fire after the days events and just jamming with people that wanted to sit in with them.I don't play,but I could see the joy on the faces of weekend pickers sittin in and jamming with these guys.
Having grown up around DC, I was fortunate enough to have seen these guys many times, most of them at The Birchmere or The Cellar Door. The most memorable being at Wolftrap Farm Park in Vienna, VA, around 1980ish. They opened for John Prine with Steve Goodman. It was one of the most wonderful musical nights of my life, to date, as a spectator.
All of them had day jobs, why they named the band "The Seldom Scene". I worked with Tom Gray at National Geographic and in addition to regularly going to the Red Foxx Inn and Birchmere to hear the band play Tom introduced me to canoeing in the rivers and streams around Washington, DC.
@philrosenthal I just found this video, and hope that we can all enjoy more. The Seldom Scene- "Live at the Cellar Door" was the first non Flatt & Scruggs album I ever bought. And it forever changed the way I listened to and eventually the way I approached playing the banjo. This line- up is the top band in my book. Thank you Phil for your contributions to bluegrass music. By the way, if I were stranded on a deserted island, the 1 album that would be with me would be Cellar Door. Dean M.
One of the best song ever recorded by The Seldom Scene. I was lucky enough to see them in performance several times at Granite Hill Campground west of Gettysburg, PA.
OMG, I never knew these guys played the Opry! This was right when I was a real Scene groupie (mid- to late-70s). I used to determine which BG festivals I'd attend based on if the Scene was on the bill. No Scene, no good! I even used to pattern my mando playing after Duffy. Even had a zippered v-neck golf shirt like his. Still have it as a memento 30 years later! I basically stopped playing BG when Duffy and Monroe died in '96. The new Krauss and Nickel Creek stuff just leaves me cold.
Duffy was the definition of smooth - and the definition of kind, sweet and talented. I hung with them every Monday at the Red Fox, then the Birchmere. Sweet memories.
great to see them great to hear them only had a tape cassette to hear them once upon a time and boy do I love bluegrass. thank you bluegrass library tony lee [ Australia ]
No wonder I GOT HOOKED ON THAT "acid grass" BACK IN THE SEVENTIES! What good memories! Got to see them many times in and around NC. Me and my mom were groupies!!!!! LOL...AWESOME
I used to see the Seldom Scene all around the D.C. area, they were the best! Watermelon Park in Berryville, Va. In the Shenandoah River while the band played............................ John Duffey R.I.P. Phil Rosenthal good to see you here too!
I live in Portland, OR. Several years ago I met a couple who must moved here from D.C. I surprised them when they introduced their dog named Rider....and, of course, I said, named after Ben's break in the Bluegrass song, no doubt!!!!
Bad ass! I'm 35 I saw these guys when I was a kid. My parents love Bluegrass and Country so it was often playing in our house. I love traditional country and some bluegrass but I'm pretty much a rocker. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Black Sabbath, Danzig, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. I love this stuff though, love it
Hi Phil. Yeah, I saw you guys at the Great American Music Hall in SF, must have been about 1980. Thanks for all the great music! The Seldom Scene will live forever.
This folk song is also known as "I know you rider", being covered by artists as diverse as The Grateful Dead and Hot Tuna in acoustic mode. Fantastic version by The Seldom Scene!
I used to see them at some obscure bar In Arlington on Tuesday nights. We was killing time, but the music was good. Yes, we were a bunch of stoned Deadheads.
The Birchmere was the name of the place....they played there often...won tickets to see them one night sat right at the stage...the whole night was a sing along...awesome!
It was the Birchmere back then. I think the SS played there the 2nd Tue. of every month. One night I was there I saw a bluegrass band that may never be topped. J.D. Crow on the banjo, Tony Rice on Guitar, Jerry Douglas on dobro, Mark O'Conner on fiddle and David Grisman on mandolin.
Saw them at my first concert outing as a young kid - at the Weinberg theater just down the road a bit from Granite Hill...my brother and I wore the needle through Live At the Cellar Door!
This brings back memories. Playing in this band was so easy, such solid rhythm, great playing, and singing with John Duffey - that required all you had to offer. He could hold a note longer than anyone I ever sang with. Hope more of this surfaces.
Phil R.
Phil Rosenthal S/S STILL THE BEST YOUR VOCALS PUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE THAT HAS YET TO BE CUT.
Phil Rosenthal you added so much to this group. Your singing and your songs not to mention your playing!
Thank you, Phil!
Phil - Bluegrass legend !
The Scene was the best when Phil was singing and playing lead. John Starling was a bit before I was turned on to them. I enjoyed my weekly time at the Birchmere watching them perform. Just totally great musicians all the way around

Hey Jennifer, I knew the family well, especially your cousin Laura! I hope your Aunt Elise is doing well...are you a Kessler? Grew up in Woodmoor and miss those days!
Rip Ben Eldridge. My favorite banjo player! Live at the Cellar door showed that they were the tightest bluegrass band ever! What a show🪕
I miss The Birchmere circa '77 ! Those of you who know, know
This is the bluegrass that I fell in love with 40+ years ago! Love Seldom Scene.
Duffy was the BEST tenor vocalist in bluegrass. Still miss him!
Probably the BEST live progressive bluegrass live performance ever.
RIP MIKE AULDRIDGE - I believe he is the best Dobro player who ever lived, founding member of my favorite Bluegrass band, The Seldom Scene, and a personal friend. He leaves a hole that music may not be able to fill.
His instrumental version of Tennessee Stud circa 1971 is phenomenal. First heard it in college. Haunts me to this day in a very good way.
Check out Emmett Franz with The Petersens. Watch out, Jerry Douglas!
i dont understand how everyone is sitting down i cant stop movin
love this music drink a handful of beers and start jiggin even got 19 20 yr old brother and his freind and my 11 yr old boy just bustin out with a jig this music will never die

Tim O`Brien plays as good.
This band was THE bluegrass band when I was gigging with my dad's band. Played a LOT of their stuff. This is part of my childhood!
Man, that mando break was wild. I dont think anyone pushed the limits more than John. Most other mandolin pickers of this time period played pretty simple stuff, but John was like some rock and roll guitar player or something! John Duffey will live forever!
Talent unmatched in Bluegrass this version of the Scene was legendary.
In the 1970's this Band, The Seldom Scene was probably the Top band to want to see. I seen them 3 times.
You done seen them or you saw them?
Jerry Garcia is looking down, smiling, nodding his head in approval and thinking to himself.....
"Holy shit man......those guys can flat out play!!!"
They probably know Jerry
@@midnightcruiser7762The Pizza Tapes- Garcia, Rice, Grisman. You probably know about that already.
Tom Gray is one of the best that ever stepped up beside a bass fiddle!
The Seldom Scene... in my opinion, the VERY BEST bluegrass band in the world during their time. They went beyond everyone and everybody. AND btw, John Duffy (the mandolin player) was a friend of mine
I saw the Seldom Scene at the Birchmere in the eighties. It was my indoctrination into bluegrass, and I will thank the lord forever for that.

never get tired of these guys and this song

I went to High School with both John Duffy and Mike Aldrich in Bethesda Chevy Chase H.S. in Maryland
Best of the best ! Miss them !
Love...love...love. So many memories of sunny festivals.
Suh-weet! Been listening to these guys since I was a teen back in the 80s. They don't make it like this anymore. These guys were the greatest.
One of the greatest bands ever in bluegrass music. Ck out the creases in Mike's jeans, he still wears them that way, always the gentleman. Gotta love Larry the Legend!
My father wore his jeans that way with the creases in the front.
Used to see this band regularly around DC, Va., WV, like 35 years ago. Consistently good shows, some outdoor performances were really terrific. Glad to find this on the internets.
YEAH!!! ...And sometimes SCENE in PA, DE, & MD.
Whaow !
I've just seen these great band in Toulouse Bluegrass Festival FRANCE, in 1982, it was an unforgetable TIME, A GREAT CONCERT.Peace to the soul of John Duffey.
Best version of Rider

Gets better every time I watch it! The light ain’t too good, but the talent; EMINCELY REWARDING👏👏👏🤙👌🇺🇸
One o’ the greatest groups ever🤙👏👏👏🇺🇸
Average age of the audience: 92 years old. This is an awesome band playing an awesome song.
Wow..reading these comments. Timeless. ♥️♥️
havent grabbed my guitar in 2 days, keep fighting in my head
but now im back on.....thank you Mr. Auldridge
Man Ben Eldridge can pull tone!! He is one of the best in my book
sounds pretty thin to me
My favorite bluegrass group and my favorite song by them.
At festivals back in the early 80's ...when this song was played.... the crowd went wild!
the crowd went wild because they were so glad the band quit playing :D
If you're going to use ear curling language, you could @ least use it properly. Do you even know what that means?
Patti Fletcher: He knows what it means, and he knows how to use it . Some people are dicks and some are cunts.
Wow! You don't know anything!! What a goofball...you are!!
No, really, this is THE BEST EVER version of RIDER
+Craig Collord Judy Roderick....awwwww yessss
Grateful Dead has the best
Nope. Grateful Dead for sure.
@@aidantruner5527 no.. just no
Craig Collord It is a good version but I think the live at the cellar door version is the best in my opinion.
Most dangerous bluegrass band to ever pick up a musical instrument
LOL! Yes.
I'm grateful for these bluegrass pioneers! If it weren't for these guys, I would not be enjoying bluegrass music today! Thanks for positing this video!
What a group of musicians!.
And what a mando brake by Mr. Duffey!
C. McKiney: Pardon me, but why do you spell it 'brake': is that ignorant or on purpose? Makes it sound like the mandolin is applying a 'brake' to the music, which would be the opposite of a bluegrass 'break'.
Music like this is gone except for those of us who remember
Gone? Are you hearin' what I'm hearin? It will only get better over time like a fine wine with sound technology. Plus Soon there will be music made by (AI) of any artist you choose singing any song you choose. You will not be able to tell "Is it Live or is it Memorex" (Actual artist or AI)..... Did Joni Mitchell sing Froggie went a courting? One day she might. Wait for it.....
you were all great ! the new Scene cant come close to this. Mike, I will love the dobro forever.
Wow, Just listening to Mr. Eldridge play his solo in this track us breathtaking.
Jumping Jiminy, that's some of the finest playing and showmanship I've ever seen, and I've been a folkie most of my 68 years. I was introduced to this tune by Grateful Dead, but this verson blows them out of the water. "Eat your heart out Bill Monroe"? Yep, and eat your heart out Jerry Garcia, Mama's got a new crush.

They were an awesome band!! John Duffey on mandolin was a cherri pie!

One my all time favorites.I've seen them several times
Gets better each time dont it! lol.im go flip to New grass Revival
I live these old folk tunes.
Unbelievable bass Tom is awesome!!!
All of them had day jobs, why they named the band "The Seldom Scene". I worked with Tom Gray at National Geographic and in addition to regularly going to the Red Foxx Inn and Birchmere to hear the band play Tom introduced me to canoeing in the rivers and streams around Washington, DC.
This is hot! Vintage bluegrass, & smokin' solo on the Dobro by Auldridge. This one gives me goosebumps. Incredible!
these guys were like gods to me.....and this video shows why...what a treasure
Ben Eldrege-one of the greatest EVER!
listened to live in the cellar , for umpteen years , great to see the boys performing here
I thank you dearly . tony lee Australia.
awesome album..... it changed lives.
I love these guys this is my favorite song

This is the best (and only real!) Seldom Scene lineup
One of the best song ever recorded by The Seldom Scene. I was lucky enough to see them in performance several times at Granite Hill Campground west of Gettysburg, PA.
OMG, I never knew these guys played the Opry! This was right when I was a real Scene groupie (mid- to late-70s). I used to determine which BG festivals I'd attend based on if the Scene was on the bill. No Scene, no good!
I even used to pattern my mando playing after Duffy. Even had a zippered v-neck golf shirt like his. Still have it as a memento 30 years later!
I basically stopped playing BG when Duffy and Monroe died in '96. The new Krauss and Nickel Creek stuff just leaves me cold.
Thursday nights at the Cellar Door was a highlight of the '70's in Alexandria, VA.
Shawn Strauss my first plane ride ever was specifically to see the Seldom Scene play live at the Birchmere on a Thursday night.
I thoroughly enjoyed their playing and singing sad for the negative comments.
No truer words have ever been said. John and Mike are both missed with no one to ever take their place.
Duffy was the definition of smooth - and the definition of kind, sweet and talented. I hung with them every Monday at the Red Fox, then the Birchmere. Sweet memories.
great to see them great to hear them only had a tape cassette to hear them once upon a time and boy do I love bluegrass.
thank you bluegrass library tony lee [ Australia ]
A bluegrass hall of fame lineup fantastic !!!! What awesome musicianship!!!
No wonder I GOT HOOKED ON THAT "acid grass" BACK IN THE SEVENTIES! What good memories! Got to see them many times in and around NC. Me and my mom were groupies!!!!! LOL...AWESOME
Bet that was HOT You n Mom as groupies....... MMM... MMM.... MMM
I used to see the Seldom Scene all around the D.C. area, they were the best! Watermelon Park in Berryville, Va. In the Shenandoah River while the band played............................ John Duffey R.I.P. Phil Rosenthal good to see you here too!
Got to meet and jam on guitar with Phil Rosenthal bout 10 years ago. Great video here!!🎵🎶🎵
I saw Seldom Scene live when I was 12. My dad took me. It was a few years ago in Henrico, VA at Lewis Ginter Gardens.
Amazing, amazing, amazing show.
Great music..i seen them back in the 70.s at gettsburg penn..and granite hill penn..what good time.s that was..what i can remember anyway..lol..
I live in Portland, OR. Several years ago I met a couple who must moved here from D.C. I surprised them when they introduced their dog named Rider....and, of course, I said, named after Ben's break in the Bluegrass song, no doubt!!!!

never had the opportunity to see them live thank you for all that has posted to you tube and thanks you tube
Phil sure could sing! ❤️
Seldom Scene my first bluegrass cd wow these guys are awesome
The 112 "thumbs down" are saying "THAT AIN'T BLUEGRASS!" :D I think this song was my intro to Newgrass. Thank you!!
These guys wrote the book on this kind of bluegrass
Absolutely amazing.
Now more than ever as then... This .. Defines Talent sittin on a foundation of skills..
@buckzx12r Agreed. One of the best renditions of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue."
Saw them at Denton farm park nc in late 80s was awesome
My hats off....always loved it.!!!
This version should have been recorded for an album.
I used to see them at some obscure bar In Arlington on Tuesday nights. We was killing time, but the music was good. Yes, we were a bunch of stoned Deadheads.
The Birchmere
Birchmire was in Alexandria.
It used to be in Arlington, though. Back when Emmylou Harris played there.
The Birchmere was the name of the place....they played there often...won tickets to see them one night sat right at the stage...the whole night was a sing along...awesome!
It was the Birchmere back then. I think the SS played there the 2nd Tue. of every month. One night I was there I saw a bluegrass band that may never be topped. J.D. Crow on the banjo, Tony Rice on Guitar, Jerry Douglas on dobro, Mark O'Conner on fiddle and David Grisman on mandolin.
