@tiffanymitchellsetliff5915 We really appreciate it Tiffany. Thanks for watching
It is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to one of the most iconic voices & musicians in bluegrass. David Anthony “Tony” Rice passed away yesterday, Dec 25, at his home in Reidsville, NC. Few will ever match his skill & influence. Rest in Peace, Tony.
Rest In Peace ✌🏻
@@bradyross2379 thanks t6o whoever this up. My only time in Hampdem CT was to find an undertaker to take care of my brother and my mother's journey to the next stage, and t hear tony sing this now. Here in FL he means a lot, there are a lot of great musicians drawn into the music like the great Mark Johnson by Tony and his brothers and other kin who still work and live here in Florida
what a player..the last missed tune of the intro made me laugh of pain and fun at the same time watching his face, damn i felt that...RIP.
Nice tune but where are the Conga Drums intro ? r.i.p
I was fortunate to see him in 1978 at Grandfather mountain
Absolutely phenomenal performance by one of the greatest flatpickers to ever live. RIP Tony Rice!
no surprise that David Grisman worked with him and Doc Watson
Greatest guitar players*
Am proud to be Tony’s Aunt Susie and I’ll never forget one time when he was about 17, he ask me a question and it was “Susie, do you think it’s a possibility that I may could get famous 1 day”? I said Tony in my mind you’re already famous beyond years”!! Miss him n was so proud of him!!!❤❤
just simply cuts to the soul...there will never be a better flat-picker than Tony Rice. RIP.
Would love to go to his grave and spend some time with him. My greatest acoustic Guitar influence!! No one can flat pick like him. On a plane all his own. My Dad, as a bluegrass band leader, had his collection and I’ve listened to Tony for almost 40 years. Unique..... R.I.P. my Friend.
Yes! Little old Danville Virginia does indeed produce some awesome things!!! My Hometown! Proud of it!
Tony was a gift to all of us, musicians and just listeners alike; he pushed in a gentle way that made all around him better, so we all are blessed.
I've enjoyed Tony's music for a long time. Bought every record at least once. Only saw him twice. Both times here in Hamden, CT... front & second row seats! Needless to say the best ever.
whoah! what an opening: restrained lyricism without words!
Rice smiling at the dobro intro!!!!
There's nothing you can say about this; the music is eloquent enough.
Tony Rice: Always missed, never forgotten, his music treasured forever!!!
that is my favorite dobro lick of all time
We live on the same planet as Tony Rice. Gotta make you feel special.
Priscilla Eich lo
Priscilla Eich 😅😅😅
I taught tony that intro part. Just sayin
I live in the same town. 😄
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "guitar trainer game" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Peynharlotte Acoustic Smasher - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my brother in law got excellent success with it.
Tony brings a guitar alive; that sound is so clean and sweet. These musicians are so great, it lets us imagine what it must be like in heaven. Thanks for sharing these beautiful, wonderful sounds .
Bluegrass musicians are on a different level from rock musicians,
Especially TONY RICE
Man is awesome
Just really chokes me up.
Tony’s face when the dobro comes in is priceless
His face was more priceless when the bass finished her solo
I'm not Shawna, I am a single mom,45yrs old, pissed off!!!!! Bluegrass music takes me away out of the shit I have put myself in!!! I'm a true fan of this music I was raised up with this and if you just listen to it with your heart then maybe it will do for you what it does for me!!!!! Bluegrass Rules
Rip wayfaring stranger. Thank you for all that you gave.
I really enjoyed that
One of The most Incredible Musicians of all time!!!
He was an iconic Bluegrass/New Acoustic/Jazz/Folk/Americana performing/recording artist and put down here on Earth by a UFO from another world long ago in1951... 😢 I miss him so much. Rest in peace, my Brother from another mother...
I really like all of you players for each of your parts that you contribute but Ricky is in another zone backing you all up! Love you all....
Hands of master nothing left to say .
One of the most iconic guitarists of our generation. Will never get tired of listening to him. RIP.
I was there, and it was beautiful. Tony is not of this world.
thanks for bragging. also thankful that Mr. Rice was of this world
Tony's feel,timing,tone,n style beat any speedster for me..n his stage presence is more graceful than anybody I can think of.
He was a speedster himself, when he wanted to be.
He shares the stage w/always talent.
Saw the unit around 2012-13 with a female bass player (she is amazing) in Bristol. Seen tony with darrel scott and reese wynans electric with Tony. Saw him with an up and coming band at the Paramount in Bristol also. Saw Grisman, Del McCoury twice, once with Keller also saw particle and leftover salmon at that spotsylvania va festival. Also saw hackensaw and percy hill. 😂
Very nice! I hear "Summertime" by Gershwin all the time in the chords :)
The mandolin is haunting. Goosebumps. Serious goosebumps.
Super música super tony
I wish I would have discovered Tony Rice much earlier in life. Then again, I may have given up playing.
I am the same. Only found him in the last 5-10 years. Such magic
I miss Tony Rice.
As seen on FB..."Slash is the greatest player of all time..." Umm, I'd like to enter a second candidate, please
Slash? who the f is that?
to add, tony also
has arthritis in his hands
Slash is very good at what he does, but he doesn't belong in this world of players or in conversations here...sorry...and no disrespect to Slash.
I think one day Billy Strings will be the Tony Rice to whoever my generations Slash will be, (some guy with a laptop maybe?)
Roughly 5000 more i guess...anyone from the Appalachees that can hold a piece of wood basically from what i have heard.
Remember when Rickie Simpkin's was about 15 years old fiddlin like crazy at the Galax Fiddlers's Convention. Those were the days!
It was very cool to see that bass solo. You don't see too many of those in this kind of music. Good stuff!
Bryn Davies kills it here and on every other recording I have seen of her. Esperanza Spalding is another of my favorite stand up bassists
I love how mid song tony casually takes off the capo XD
I’m still in love with Bryn
Damn, I’d love to see Tony’s chord chart
Sad day today. RIP Tony.
Tony and Wyatt are just the greatest!!!! Giving so much inspiration to so many!!!
Tony Rice....the KING, for sure! Thanks for the post...best wished for Tony and family.
Damn...listen to those voicings.
Been lucky enough to see this live, front row, same line up
I didn't discover Tony until later in life. Something about his playing that is so calming. Never get tired of listening. 💪♥️🙏 RIP Tony Rice
Tony’s playing in a church like he’a got the devil inside him trying to get out through his guitar!
The 1935 D-28 TR is playing once belonged to Clarence White and is regarded as the best sounding acoustic guitar ever made.
Josh Williams now shreds that machine. I’ve been inches from it but have yet to play it 😢
The mandolin player you see in this video if ya wasn’t sure.
Other than by you, by who else? The TR guitar has been dunked in water, buried in sand (supposedly) and rebuilt and reglued so many times you can't really call it a Martin or a D-28. The best guitar I ever heard, not that you're interested, was that Gallagher played by Doc Watson. I'll listen to Doc any day of the week. TR - nope.
@dap777754 Nope. Not interested.
so great to find this video. I was fortunate enough to be sitting in the center of the front row for this amazing concert, in this tiny church. THANKS for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it James!
Exceptional performances by all that grace this stage! Played to perfection! Thanks for sharing this!
Love the way Tony smiles when the dobro goes totally dissonant at 5:18. You can tell he got a big kick out of it.
Rob Ickes was digging deep from the start
I always do
my favorite dobro lick of all time
Mentally there isn't another guitar player like Tony Rice. They may have the dexterity and speed, but not the vision he has with a guitar.
Tony Rice still the coolest man alive.
Very sad we lost him on Christmas this year
Wow. Combinig eveything from spanish classic to blues and bluegrass and return to the roots-Gypsie. Wow.
Tony Rice is a perfectionist and he plays like one.
Great bass solo!! Nice to see Tony smile, too.
RIP genius. What a player he was.
Man oh Man! This guy changed bluegrass guitar playing for ever!!!!
I cannot get enough of this video.
it just dont and never will be any better. The man
Up close and personal with fantastic sound of Tony and Company. Thank you for these, such a beautiful experience. Makes me wanna change to a Unitarian, if this is considered a form of worship of God given gifts of talent, this a horn a plenty. Jorma would agree, I bet.
Work done in the form of service to humanity is worship (Baha'i writings) Emphasis on the arts encouraged as well...
¡Me encantaría conocer a las 3 personas que han dado un negativo en su voto con la manita abajo!... no es por nada, sólo para recomendarles una buena clínica para sordos...(o para idiotas)
Bluegrass!?...sounds like jazz... simular to Moon Dance. Wonderful just the same!
HOLY F***! HOW IS THAT KIND OF GUITAR NOTES POSSIBLE?!?! WHAT THE HELL?!!
Over the years I've always enjoyed watching Tony Rice give that little nod to the other musicians in the group. He KNOWS what he wants to hear and more importantly when we should hear it too. Such a gift to us all! Each of these superb musicians complement each other with their impeccable timing. Thank God for the gift of music and the talented musicians who deliver to us such beauty!
That nod is so smooth
Folks , the intro is totally magical!!
It appears Mr Rice is a sucker for well-played dobro as I am ;)
ok I'm carrying a torch for Bryn and I dont care if she knows
She always has a smile on her face when she plays
Gracious goodness Mr. Tony!! Your take on this song is so awesome as well as the wonderful guys in the Band who do such a great job! So appreciate your all's skill, experience and love for the songs you play!
Grande Tony. Adorazione pura. :)
I'd like to see Tony in a duet with Tommy Emmanuel.
Two of the very greatest on acoustic guitar. Maybe the two greatest but very different styles. Paço de Lucia the greatest in his style.
Safe journey, Tony. See you later!
So beautiful. RIP Tony.
That's Rob Ickes on dobro. Played on an EP I cut a few years ago. I didn't understand at the time who he really was. Every A-list picker in the session deferred to him. They knew.
Also nice to see some ladies playing.
Best version of this song I've ever heard!! Incredible musicians!!
My favorite is richard bennett's
2020 !
By FAR the most skilled acoustic player alive. Sorry Tommy, he covers songs too, as well as WRITES with an ENTIRE BAND. That is selfless love for music. TONY IS the REAL DEAL 💖
Tommy writes and he IS the band!
I was fortunate enough to attend this concert. I am so glad that I did!
You were a very lucky person. Wished I would have been there, regards from The Netherlands
Saw him and slightly different company round this time at Jormas' "Fur Peace Ranch" (Also on You Tube), devoured a "Hot Tuna Melt" at the outside stand, cool moist night especially after Tony made a prophetic comment about the oncoming outside break and adjustment. Had to laugh again mwhile taking care of our brought on munchies. Then more Tony-Thank you Tony & FPR, add the Unitarian Church here! American Wooden Music-A clean elixir get some on you best if the cultures are live now in 2023.
Bryn Davies just told that bass what was what, I tell you! Best from the hills of Virginia. Cork
P.C. Tony was a phenomenal player along with many from the Danville, Pittsylvania, Henry, Floyd area on and on who inspired and taught me the vagaries of the acoustic guitar...they gave me a blessing which will last my lifetime. To be able to play music is one of the 3 great joys of life: family, the love thereof, The Lord- whoever they may be, and music.
impeccable. Me manque le Tony Rice qui chantait: J'aimais bien sa voix
C’est là toute la différence qu’il peut y avoir avec la musique électronique : les sentiments vibrants, au propre comme au figuré.
I don't know how this showed up in my Recommendations, but I'm sure glad it did. One of the sweetest performances I've ever seen. Maybe I'm ready to become a Unitarian!
The only difference in Unitarianism is that they believe that the Father Son and Holy Ghost or Spirit are of the same and are all God
Wyatt !!!
Now that is a master guitarist right there. What a cool intro to the song! Tony Rice plays like the sun will never rise tomorrow and he just left his woman. I like it! And then comes the bassplayer and buries them all haha.
Tony Rice, a master craftsman. Truly in the moment here. RIP big man.
When you have a style of your own you know you are unique. RIP Tony. I'll see you there someday.
That beginning was magic. And the whole performance too. What a bunch of masterful musicians.

thanks captain knuckles
So into that... I almost put my phone down at the end to clap.
I am not worthy to comment .
Would , " Extraordinary smooth ," be acceptable ?
I love this video❤
Amazing!
That was a big hardy grin he gave the upright bass player. That was good to see Tony smile. Great bass playing by a beautiful lady can bring out a smile out in a man.
She certainly found the right notes!
Does that sound like Summertime to anyone?
+Matt Parlane Yes, but Wayfaring Stranger is about 100 years older than Summertime.
+Matt Parlane I thought it sounded like it to,but it's the most complicated version i every heard of ether one.
I wonder if Gershwin ever heard Wayfaring Stranger before he penned Summertime? There are many songs that share the same chord progressions, but this one is the same rhythmically, too. Obviously the lyrics are different but the melody is almost note for note. Even more alike than Zeppelin's "Stairway" is like Spirit's "Taurus"
Harleydls
I'm sure Gershwin knew 3 or 4 of the religious songs which sound like Summertime. Consider contemporary songwriters though. Most are completely unfamiliar with traditional music. Its too bad. This music has strong ways of using chords and melody. Worth studying.
Many people play them as a medley.
I got to see this band at the Blue Ridge Music Centre in Galax. Music like this is in a class all its own. Thanks for posting.
The sound on this upload was solid and nice. Thank you.
And now he's passed into legend...
Great instrumentals and I feel the music in all the instruments
R.I.P. Tony Rice 🙏
