It’s 2024. Who else is still coming back to this song?

Im still here in 2023 anyone else!!??♥♥♥

A voice in bluegrass that has never been replaced.

John Duffy had the most beautiful voice in bluegrass music. He is sadly missed.

John Duffy and the Seldom Scene. The best modern day Bluegrass band. I Miss John's wonderfull mandolin and high lonesome voice and sense of humor. I first herd the Seldom Scene in 1984 and have loved their sound so much. Ben Eldredge and Lou Reed is still holding the group together. So great, Thanks.

It just doesn't get any better than this!! There will never be another "Duffy"!! RIP John Duffy & Mike Audridge!!

John Duffey was a great influence on me as a musician. He was an institution. His music lives on. This video from '96 was the same year he passed away. Sadly, his declining health shows in his eyes here... RIP John Duffey!

Very powerful and moving song, beautifully done by the Seldom Scene. Brings tears to my eyes...

Many great versions of this song but nobody done it like John... In 1996 Duffey made it cool for a 15 year old kid to like and listen to Bluegrass!!!! We miss you John!!!!

I got to hang out with John and the Seldom Scene backstage once after a show in San Francisco. He liked his liquor and cigarettes and was cutting it up with the folks in a most friendly and jovial way. A real class act and a sweetheart of a man. RIP

Is it just me or does this make anybody else's eyes well up with tears?

One of the greatest bluegrass bands of all-time....👍👍

The World will never have another John Duffy!!

The crowd reaction when the song starts is just great.

John, you are missed terribly. I still love the Seldom Scene, but it will never be the same.

I was very privileged as a young girl with my dad and the band we traveled to all the bluegrass festivals and played and this group has always been one of my favorites !! miss the good old days!!

My dad inherited one of two Ducks. I’ll inherit it from him when he passes. It will never be sold. What an amazing band, an amazing mandolinist John Duffey was, and a legacy that will never be forgotten! They did more for bluegrass than any other band possibly could! RIP John and Nancy

i 1st tried to get in to see the Scene at the old Birchmere, in a run down shopping center off Walter Reed Road in Alexandria, VA in the late 70's.....we got there too late and it was sold out but i remember seeing & hearing Duffy doing this song thru the glass door and was mezmerized....turned into a huge scene fan over the next twenty years or so. Incredible band, but what always got to me was Duffys beutiful, pure tenor. RIP JD

Written by the hugely underrated Herb Pedersen. Beautifully sung by Duffey.

Just struck me, today, how much I miss John. Many a night at the Birchmere. Will never forget hearing of his passing.

I saw Seldom Scene perform this tune on a PBS bluegrass special about 40 years ago. I tried to find this song a few weeks later, but friends and local record store employees were not familiar with it. A link to this video appeared on a KZfaq page with a "recommended for you" notation last night. It's as beautiful as I remember it. Thank you, KZfaq.

I was fortunate enough to see The Seldom Scene live several times, along with many of the great first and second-generation bluegrass legends, in the '60's, '70's, '80's, yet I'm still struck by the beauty of their vocals. It's almost a surprise every time I hear them. Mike Auldridge's dobro playing really had heart, and John Duffy's zany sense of humor added a wonderful sparkle to their performances - what a great combination. The band I played with opened for them once in a concert in Boston, and it's a treasured memory. Great times.

The one and only John Duffy. RIP

I've been listening to the Seldom Scene for 30 years but don't keep up with who's who in music. So sad to learn that John Duffey died. Ouch. If there's a bluegrass heaven, he's there. I wouldn't mind getting there myself. What a magnificent musician he was. The Seldom Scene is my favorite bluegrass band. I love the numbers they did with Linda Ronstadt!

Always loved this group... Amazing Harmonies.... Gotta love it....

One of the greatest bluegrass songs ever composed. Sung by one of the greatest Bluegrass singers ever Ken, Toronto

I never had the good fortune to see them live! But they an all star band!

John Duffy was one of a kind..my brother in law had a band when we were all much younger ..they sang John Duffy songs ..his music lives on

There is no other bluegrass band like this one right here god bless em' all

I love this group this is Bluegrass at it’s finest!! I hate these two great talents are gone .

It amazes me that anyone could "dislike" this.

Duffey!!!! He was the best- voice of an angel

Duffey shall be forever missed......the whole of the Seldom Scene was John. No diss on the others. None intended.

How can you watch this and not love John Duffey. Man. I miss him.

wow this must have been only months before Duffy passed, loved this band!

John Duffey in my option was one of the absolute best that has ever sang and play .

Gives me cold chills listening to the mandolin picking.

It's been 20 years to the day since we lost John Duffey--and I still miss him! He was indeed The Best!

I was hardcore metal - punk , lived in concert 14 yrs... I knew I had to come to terms with life and go back to my shop ,there I heard Seldom-Scene on a Saturday night program that changed my world !!!

The stuff legends are made of. Amazing vocals, and a beautiful song. Thank you for posting.

I was at that festival I was 16 years old. That’s a great festival. My family went to that festival for over 20 years. Great times

I must have watched this video 3 dozen times in the past week since discovering it. Magical.

He died in December the same year. Too young, too soon. RIP, John.

No words are good enough to express this group.

Sure. Miss. These. Guys. Listening to them tugs at my heartstrings. A different. Day. And time.

missing you bad John,the world is a much worse place without you bro..

What a great man the seldom scene will always be the best bluegrass ever

perfection at it's finest

John Duffy was and is the best

Thanks so much for sharing scene...I miss those days so much. Great memories.

Love it all, especially the sweet harmonies.

Miss you soooo much beautiful man !!!! You left us waaaaay tooo early!!!!

I come back to this Duffy film again, and again.

i love every version of this song................RIP Mr Duffey , Auldridge and now stanley

How could you not love this song and yeah can't beat. These guys. Seen them play 3. Times. Brought me back to bluegrass. !!!😉

breaks my heart that this band is not popular, the music they make goes right through your soul

John Duffy’s declining health was sad to see at the very end when he bends over and seems to be coughing or struggling for air. What a treasure he was.. perhaps the greatest bluegrass singer of all time.

And just like that, as mysteriously as he appeared, he was gone.

This is just plain powerful music. Sounds just like they did on Old Train.

if this dont take you back and remind you of your future love nothing will, thanks SS

Started out watching the cleverlys. Then seldom scene. Reminds me of better times. Tears on my face

Ran a needle through Live at the cellar door, Loved that record.

love this song

Oh, the harmonies!!! Fantastic

I miss John so very much........

Beauty, sheer beauty, and sadness and peace.

Duffey Was one of a kind And he really put his heart and soul in his singing it is sad that Duffey is gone 💔 he was the boss of bluegrass music 🎶

Most exellent Greetings from Dublin Ireland ....😎

This Song Makes my Heart cry. So beautiful 😍🥰🥰🥰

This is my favorite bluegrass song

i love seldom scene i was raised on it

After all this time, I still miss his voice...

We actually worked this up in 4 part harmony- so beautiful ❤

Lord i sure do miss john Duffy

I return to this video for comfort

I was there at the festival if the bluegrass when this was played. This song will always be a tribute to the great John Duffy , no matter who plays it . I still miss you John.

I love this song!

watch john at the end of this song. something happened to him. Ben Eldridge was the first to show concern and then the rest of the band. john died of a heart attack 12/10/96, very shortly after this performance. i'm guessing that the beginning of the end was captured on this video. john didn't look too healthy here but his singing was great as always. wait a minute was wonderfully performed. it breaks my heart to see this and remember john and so many other great musicians who are no longer with us. life rolls on so hug someone today and everyday.

Nice version and also a sublime version by Herb Pedersen's. Well worth a listen.

They are going to be playing at Poppy Mountain this year September 18, 2015. We won't be there but ya'll go out and enjoy the beautiful sounds upon the one and only Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival.

John Duffy. What a class act, great soul

Published a month before his death. what excellent vocals

Thank You Sincerely for sharing this video. It is the last one I have seem since just before the Great Man's untimely passing.

I did sound for Seldom Scene from 1990-1991! Great group of men, so generous and kind!

A lot of talent on that stage.

Masterfully effortless.

Rest in peace granny and daddy I love yall will forever and a day listen to John Duffy and cry my eyes out

Delaware Valley Bluegrass festival Sept 1996, John Duffy step off side stage for a smoke, I crossed over the rope with banjo in hand and started talking to him. What a great guy, after about 10 minutes talking to him I was Duffy star struck and forgot to ask him to sign my skin. Seldom Scene, John Duffy, lost but not forgotten.

We miss you John

John Duffey is very missed in bluegrass music. The man was a legend. I have a video with them playing Lay Down Sally, wearing little children's sunglasses. It's on VHS and I am going to have it put onto a DVD. I love it. It's priceless to me. RIP John.

duffey!
