aburtchA nice batch of soundboard #SeldomScene just appeared on “Take's Live Bluegrass Channel." It's from Indian Springs Campground, Hagerstown, MD (06/03/1972)
Paradise - The Seldom Scene
Gotta say, Duffy is in his prime goofball form on these recordings. #SeldomScene #bluegrass

It may not seem like it now, but during their time, the #SeldomScene were a groundbreaking #bluegrass act. Their willingness to cover rock songs and contemporary material was antithetical to the bluegrass gatekeepers of the time.
They also kept their day jobs. "Seldom Scene" was coined because at first they only played once a week and didn’t stray too far from their Washington D.C. home base.
Their influence on later bands and newgrass in general is undeniable.
“Take’s Live #Bluegrass Channel” just put up some killer live #SeldomScene from 3/3/73. Original lineup.
Billy In The Low Ground - The Seldom Scene
An oft covered song, The Seldom Scene own the definitive version of "Rider."
