 Great, uncut, concert footage of top bluegrass acts Dec 01, 2003
By BanjoAndy
This DVD is excellent and probably the best video to represent bluegrass music. The two disc set features live performances from the Bill Monroe tribute concert that took place in 1997 at the Ryman Auditorium (former home of the Grand Ole Opry). In between each performance artist talk and reflect on the life of the father of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe. Unlike some bluegrass videos each song performed is shown from beginning to end, uncut, with no special effects. Highlights include the Del McCoury Band with Vasser Clements on second fiddle, Rick Scaggs and Kentucky Thunder and several other bands.
The biggest problem with this DVD is that the musicians and/or bands are not listed correctly. The Del McCoury Band for example is listed as "Del McCoury and the Clinch Mountain Boys" with the liner notes saying that Mike Bub (the bass player) is playing fiddle and Jason Carter (fiddle player) is listed as guitar player. These mistakes run rampant throughout the video so if you don't recognize the musicians you can't find out who they are, or you get the wrong name.
Overall the set is worth getting however, just keep in mind that the musicians/bands listed are not the musicians/bands you are seeing.

Tribute to Bill Monroe is a great bluegrass DVD Jan 19, 2004
You get your moneys worth with this album. It is the next best thing to seeing this concert live. And in one way it is better than live, because you can view it over and over again. The close ups on the players hands and fingerings are great to study if you are a player yourself. Best of all is the sound quality coming through my stereo was unbeliveable. The balance was well done and you can hear each instrument clearly. There are no bad cuts on this DVD in my opinion.

 Great Bluegrass Apr 22, 2008
By Al
"Wildcat"
A very nice Bluegrass music video of a live show celebrating the life of Bill Monroe. Check this one out, if you are a Bluegrass purist......This is for you. The video is very well produced and clear and the audio is first class. Checkout the list of performers...A "Who's Who" in Bluegrass music. I recommend this to any fan of Bluegrass music.
