Re: Column: How the Seldom Scene Remains a Renewable Resource
I saw the SS when i was over in the US back in 1992,the evening before i flew back to the UK. As John Duffey explained,they'd been at the Birchmere for 13 years & did it ever show. They sounded tired & somewhat bored,& maybe i'd be the same after 13 years playing the same place !. It was only Tony Rice who was headlining, that saved the evening from being a flop !. It was nice to see the guys & to talk with them,but as they were that evening - i've heard far better on their recordings.
With regards to the 'new version' of the SS - why ?. I'm sure that they could have come up with another name for this line up,so why use the old name,when essentially,that's all it is ?.
Purely my opinion,
