The father of bluegrass is feted by peers, protégés, and spiritual descendants in this concert film, set in Nashville and featuring 15 country artists and groups performing Monroe's classic songs. The two-disc The Legend Lives On reaches deep into the heart of Monroe's canon with Ricky Scaggs's cover of "Uncle Pen" (named for Pendleton Vandiver, the family member who taught Monroe to play his trademark mandolin). Sparks fly with the populous Del McCoury Band's take on "John Henry," Charlie Daniels's propulsive "Rockin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms," and Marty Stuart's "Rawhide," complete with sweet bluesy preface. Connie Smith and the Whites pair up for a satisfying gospel excursion, "Walkin' in Jerusalem," Ralph Stanley and the Virginia Boys mix-and-match lovely bluegrass textures, a bouncing beat, and plaintive vocals in the fascinating "Can't You Hear Me Callin'," and soloist Tim O'Brien is superb on the stark "Highway of Sorrow." --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:

Tribute to Bill Monroe is a great bluegrass DVD.......2004-01-20

You get your moneys worth with this album. It is the next best thing to seeing this concert live. And in one way it is better than live, because you can view it over and over again. The close ups on the players hands and fingerings are great to study if you are a player yourself. Best of all is the sound quality coming through my stereo was unbeliveable. The balance was well done and you can hear each instrument clearly. There are no bad cuts on this DVD in my opinion.

Great, uncut, concert footage of top bluegrass acts.......2003-12-02

This DVD is excellent and probably the best video to represent bluegrass music. The two disc set features live performances from the Bill Monroe tribute concert that took place in 1997 at the Ryman Auditorium (former home of the Grand Ole Opry). In between each performance artist talk and reflect on the life of the father of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe. Unlike some bluegrass videos each song performed is shown from beginning to end, uncut, with no special effects. Highlights include the Del McCoury Band with Vasser Clements on second fiddle, Rick Scaggs and Kentucky Thunder and several other bands.
The biggest problem with this DVD is that the musicians and/or bands are not listed correctly. The Del McCoury Band for example is listed as "Del McCoury and the Clinch Mountain Boys" with the liner notes saying that Mike Bub (the bass player) is playing fiddle and Jason Carter (fiddle player) is listed as guitar player. These mistakes run rampant throughout the video so if you don't recognize the musicians you can't find out who they are, or you get the wrong name.
Overall the set is worth getting however, just keep in mind that the musicians/bands listed are not the musicians/bands you are seeing.

WRONG DVD's.......2006-02-08

This set is not the Douney autobiography movie. These are actual Chaplin shorts.

Pretty Box.........2005-09-02

I've seen two versions of this set, one has the typical cardboard box, and one comes in a nice metal tin. Mine happens to be the one in the tin which is mainly the reason I got it. For the most part, the transfers of the films are terrible. A lot of the time the pictures get so dark that you can't even tell what's going on. There are 31 shorts in all and I've not watched all of them yet so there may be a few that are of good quality. Over all, the tin looks nice but I wish the films were of better quality.
