I'm 70 years old.I still remember buying Seldom Scene vol. One as a 19 y.o. Loved you then guys,love you now and always.

I loved the early Seldom Scene. Nobody can beat Auldridge on dobro and Duffy on tenor and high lead vocals

I live in Northern VA and used to go see these guys in the late 80s and early 90s at the Birchmere. These guys were bluegrass perfection as far as harmonies go. Mike Auldridge on dobro, John Starling, Ben Eldridge amd Tom Gray…almost brings a tear to my eye watching in 2022.

i can't listen to this song by the scene without getting a lump in my throat. i sure miss John Duffey, Mike Auldridge and so many other great musicians who have passed on. as you listen to your old favorite's from the past, it can sometime put you in a blue mood. may they all RIP.

Every vocal and instrumental element offers something magical to this song; listening to it this time, it's the bass line. Oh my it's amazing!

The Seldom Scene was my favorite bluegrass group, and this is my very favorite of their songs. Duffy, with his magnificent mullet, was a stocky man who curled around his mandolin until it became a part of him. His playing was brilliant and his high tenor voice was beautiful and unexpected. Mike Auldredge, with his gorgeous wavy silver hair, made me weep when his dobro soared above the others, and this song is a good example of that.

We sure miss you, John Duffy.

The dobro in this version along with the harmonies is nothing short of heart wrenching...

Back Again... If I hear this song 1000 times I will still get chills and enjoy it as much or even more. This performance goes into my top 10.

Mr. Gray, you are one of the greatest bass players to ever walk the earth. I would pay millions to see you with the original lineup of The Seldom Scene. I appreciate all of your involvement in bluegrass.

He has a beautiful voice -- I keep coming back to this video over and over again.

Rips your heart out. Such a great song. Beautiful

Tom Gray... thank you for all the memorable nights at the Birchmere. Seeing John, Ben, Mike, Phil and you weekly was a treasure. This song was always a special time in the show. John Starling was always great to see also.

Tom Gray's bass holds it all together....so sweet....I keep coming back to this tune.

Still watching. this tune and John Duffey never gets old!

My favorite bluegrass band for many hrs now

great group of men...RIP John Duffy and Mike Auldridge

thanks so much, my uncle Mike was such a sweet guy, I love watching this. he is greatly missed.

This takes me way, way back. For me the journey started @ the Red Fox Inn in Bethesda MD. Now it's probably a parking garage or the foundation of a highrise; but back then, the early 70's it was a Bluegrass club & if you went there you went to *listen*. For us it was "The Country Gentlemen" on Thursday nights. Then one Thursday the Gentlemen didn't show up, it was these "Seldom Scene" guys, we had no idea who they were but the waitress told us to stick around, it would be worth it. It was. It really was. "Wait a Minute", "Rider", a few more gems & we had a new favorite band! Then one Thursday the "Scene" didn't show up, it was a new band, "Hickory Wind". Again we were about to leave but again the waitress assured us it'd be worth our while to stick around, and once again we did. Sure enough, by the end of the 1st set of "Appalachian Gypsy music" newgrass more than bluegrass, string band music flavored with jazz and country western, these guys *listened* to one another! Virtuosos, their picking seemed effortless, the instruments were played in ensemble fashion. Each instrument blended with and complemented the others. With the right kind of ears when Hickory Wind were ON, you could pick up hints of the Old World roots of bluegrass, Reels, hornpipes, the gypsy string sounds. Yes you guessed it, we had a new, new favorite band. They put out 3 or maybe 4 albums, I only have 3. I wonder what happened to Sam Morgan, Bob Shank, Pete Tenney, Glen McCarthy, Mark Walbridge? I hope they're still playing ... I don't mean any of this to detract from The Seldom Scene, as if anything could. No, just call it an old guy reminiscing.

Saw these guys live years ago they were phenomenal!😊

THANK YOU! What a treasure this one is to me! God, how I wish John could have stayed with us longer.

Aldridge is the man in this song, awesome dobro work, the man had his own tasteful style, I'll never get tired of hearing em.

I miss Duffy. I miss Tommy Hunter. This was a time when country and bluegrass were pure and sweet.

Beautiful voice, sweet harmony and a beautiful song!

Miss you guys. Yes, a really appealing version of this song. Good mix, the bass coming through nicely. Memories at the Birchmere!

You are now in a different world !!.....good one,you have class."Walk through this world with me "is so fantastic,

Sure miss you, John! Sweet voice, sweet man!

As i have said prior, These boys will live forever. They will always be in the minds of us as long as we live, I am 77 yrs young and i listen to them all the time. Thank all of those that made bluegrass music what it is today.

Love this Group I have one of their CD’s from their collection. Fred Durbin and RobbieJo my Doxie-he also loves Bluegrass music.

Seldom scene is awesome.

I like this song. Really great tune.

The best of the best.

Just another reason I love Bluegrass... well done boys.

Man, I haven't thought of The Seldom Scene in years! Great group of talented guys. It all the sudden made me feel old.....

I love it when the band plays this song in Syria, Virginia.

my dad is great friends with all of them, i remember when john duffey died. ): love this song.

John was the Seldom Scene. I feel so lucky to have seen them twice in the '80s

Perfection. In the early 80s used to go see them at the Birchmere regularly.

man..............to tell you the truth i am 48 years old and had not until yesterday, ever heard of them or this song!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am floored

This is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard.

I can listen to Duffy's tenor on this song forever.

A follower of Seldom Scene since I first heard them in 1974 and couldn’t wait to purchase their LP ‘ Old Train ‘. What a delight it still is and an enthusiastic listener to their music and Bluegrass ever since. Thank you Seldom Scene and God Bless.

I watched Tommy Hunter for 30 years on CBC television every Friday night...beautiful memories Thanks for posting RC

One of the VERY BEST Bluegrass bands that ever existed playing one of the most beautiful Bluegrass songs ever written. John, you were such a good guy. I agree w/ Jim Epp in that you ARE sorely missed by so many of us who loved your style. It was a pleasure knowing you

I'm here because we heard Mr. Tom Gray sit in with Darin & Brooke Aldridge tonight at the Drum & Strum Warrenton VA 💙

Simply amazing

bluegrass at it's finest, always makes me shed a tear

Oh, God. Tears! The angels are singing. Herb Pederson wrote this gem. John Duffey is incredible. He channels Bill Monroe. But there is nobody like him. Holy Cow. Check out the line up now as well. They are amazing. One suggestion. Like Tony Rice, I think that they should do a whole album of Gordon Lightfoot songs. Thanks for posting!

The Great Tom Gray!

simply brilliant..so reminiscent of the Pozo Seco Singers "Time" (+ others)..can't stop playing this track.

What a great band! Notice how they put feeling in it!

Love John!

Will never forget all the times I saw them do this at the old Birchmere in Alexandria, VA back in the late 70's. they played every Thursday night.I don't think this crowd was ready for Duffy' sense of humor!

What a voice! Love this song. Duffey could sing it the best!

Fan-damn-tastic! I am constantly amazed at all the great and rare stuff you can get on You Tube. Many thanks for posting!

I do miss John Duffey that is for sure

Wow, like you Riley, just had to come back once again and get my John Duffey and Seldom Scene fix once again.

Great music!! I use to see them 2-3 times a year at Camp Springs, NC bluegrass festivals in the 70's!!! Good Memories!!!

John Duffy was my inspiration to play the mandolin, and I sure do miss him.

Yes, "perfection" is the only apt adjective that can be used to describe their performance.

One of the best bluegrass ballads of all time!

"Tops in his field" I reckon.Love Tom Gray on bass...

There is no voice in bluegrass that can even come close to John's. We indeed do miss you...

One of the bands ever truly miss them

Thank you for your contribution the world of music! I'm ever grateful for the chance to see you again, so a very big thanks to youtube too! It was, and remains forever as real, "Feel good music", for sure!!

the great John Duffy, taken from us way too soon

Very few groups could match that harmony!

Still the Best!

Love the bass lines !!! Beautiful song; I'd never heard it before. Many Thanks

What can we say , just a masterpiece of bluegrass...

This is my favorite song by Seldom Scene. Duffy and Auldridge are excellent!

I saw em at a one afternoon show at the park by the river in Ft. Myers Florida, Lou Ried was with em then, they put on one hell of a show.

".....The Who", 'hows that '... John Duffy was a force of Nature, and a wonderful entertainer!

Man I miss Duffy!

great video,, shows the humor of duffey and how much fun this band was,,

Thanks Tom for posting this great tune . One of my all time fav Scene songs. I think I have just about all your albums and am pretty sure I was in the audience for this Tommy Hunter broadcast. Tommy Hunter was and is a great Bluegrass music fan. Remember the years you guys appeared at the Bluegrass Canada Festival at Carlisle , Ontario? I still have a few photos from the 1976 Festival. Keep well. Sorry to just see hear about Mike's passing. You guys have so many fans up here in Canada.

Great harmonies.👍👍

any version of this song works--its just a damn good song

Classic!!! Great song

my favorite version of this song. you can tell john duffy is really enjoying the song and i like the strong bass.

THANK YOU! This video is a treasure to me!

Takes me back. I love this song.

There will never be another Duffy!😢

My inner Duffey channels me,hahaha! It pleases me to see people are still watchin' and thinking of him.....

First time that I heard this tune, but I think that it would be a hit now!

Hell yeah from Harris county, Texas... Houston

John Duffy best tenor ever. Can I get a hell yeah Eastern, Ky

I always loved his version of this song.

Haunting medley of sound that will never be duplicated

awesome good quality musicians

I just saw you Saturday night play with Randy Waller in Lucketts. Thanks ! The Kirk that was playing the bass gave you a great compliment.........said I'm playing the bass and Tom Gray is in the audience , something is wrong with this picture. He did fine ...... as did you.

I love seldem Scene and cant wait to see them and to talk again at Gettysburg, Pa in the end of Aug. The Boatman is the best

Haunting.
