This is one of my favorite Grisman solos. Every note lands perfectly and his timing is just incredible. I guess that's what makes these guys pros!

Yep David is one my favorites and love that historic Fern of his-serious mojo right there!
Dawg's solo begins at 1:41. https://youtu.be/tOfb9r6OHHA?t=104
Thanks, I didn't include the time stamp because I think the break is way better within the context of the whole song. Alison Krauss' solo isn't too bad either!Quote:

Tasty brew.
Well said John Hill.

Dude! I've not been a Dawg fan, but that was awesome! I also loved Tony's solo, it was great
Who's the bassist?

He was playing a blonde Giacomel, sounded great to me!
"walking around in a cloud of smog, thinks he can play just like the Dawg"
Sierra Hull opened up with a set including electric guitar saxophone and "Mad World" on electric mandolin, Kitchen Dwellers filled in the middle, great show all around.
This solo is very much like his solo on the original Old & In the Way recording of the classic "Knockin' On Your Door". Certainly a good, varied solo, but nothing compared to a lot of his Bobbly Osborne inspired work on the amazing album "Things In Life" by Don Stover which was released on Rounder Records in the early 1970's. Check out his solo on "Lonesome Pine Breakdown" or "White Oak Breakdown" to see hear Dawg doing Bobby O on a mix of LSD and steroids! Given that David has one of the greatest and most expressive tremolos of all time you should also do some homework and try to learn, not for note, his gorgeous solo on "White Dove" which can also be found on that original OAITW recording. With David there's just too much great recorded work to comprehend...
Oh yes... then there's his incomparable rhythm playing...
As soon as I heard that solo, it made me think of this mandolin solo from "Thinking Tonight of my Blue Eyes" (11:46 - solo):

I for years thought the "Blue Eyes" solo was Wakefield (which would also make sense in relating to Grisman's similar solo in the original post), but I'm almost positive it's Ronnie Reno - as the back band on the record is Reno & Smiley and The Tennessee Cut-Ups (1963). Can anyone confirm?
Top shelf stuff there...
Yep Adam thanks again for a cd copy of that Dawg record! Love it brother!
Excellent solo by Grisman,,Rices opening notes on his solo is very ear catching..
How 'bout "Lonesome River" by Here Today? Some of my favourite Grisman mandolin.
