Disc One:

sittin on top of the world
railroad line,

hickory wind
dobro inst.(house of the rising sun) 
working on a building
she's more to be pitted
the smell of cheap whiskey & the sound of goodbye
lord have mercy on my soul
sweet Georgia rose,

old train
deep dark brave,

train 45
wait a minute, 

highway of pain
I know you rider,

fly like eagles 
another lonesome morning
will the circle be unbroken

Seldom Scene, Winterhawk Bluegrass Festival, 7-18-1987 (SBD)

This is a real nice recording of one of my favorite bluegrass bands of all time.  These guys were amazing musicians and had great vocals and harmonies and there is also a sense of humor in their shows.  It all combines for a really enjoyable listen.  This is a must for any bluegrass fan.  Sadly John Duffy and Mike Auldridge have passed away.  Truly a great loss.  At least their music lives on in recordings like this.

Seldom Scene, McCabe's, Santa Monica, CA 1-19-90 (SBD)

This is a repost of a show I put up back in 2010.  I thought since this is one I had not seen anywhere else and appears to be an Arizona Jones exclusive, it would be good to bring it back.  I ripped this from a second generation soundboard tape I have had of the show since around 1990. It has been listened to a lot so there has been some wear to the tape over time. But I think it still sounds pretty good. It is a real nice show with some great banter and the band appears to be having a lot of fun in this small club. So for the bluegrass fans of my blog a special gift that can only be found here.
