Great Performances... I think.......2007-04-18

How many times can you forget to mic the soloist? Well, watch this DVD and find out. The technical production is stunningly bad. That's really a shame since the performances are priceless. If the hippies running the show had put the joint down for long enough to take this a little more seriously, this could have been a gem. Instead we get the kind of stage support you'd expect at a high school dance. The backstage bits and interviews took a half hour of my life I'll never get back. It's hard to imagine they were interesting to anyone not directly involved. All those years I thought I should have driven up to Telluride for this festival. Clearly it's a party for musicians by musicians. Same your money gentle listener.

New to Bluegrass.......2006-08-07

I don't know much about bluegrass or it's performers, but I really liked this concert............

bluegrass instruments don't make it bluegrass.......2006-04-22

There are some great acoustic music superstars on this DVD. Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Tim O'Brien are clearly at the top of their game. But, other than the one Hot Rize performance, this is not bluegrass in any traditional sense of the genre. It does present some really great extended jam band music, often with acoustic instruments commonly associated with bluegrass. A quick check of the credits at the end of the film suggests that there were, indeed, some true bluegrass artists at the concert, but they were clearly left out of the DVD lineup. If you like the Sam & Bela show, this DVD is for you. If you are looking for a bluegrass video, keep looking!

Telluride Bluegrass 30 Year DVD - Amazing.......2006-03-04

I was actually there at the festival....so biased one would say. Well actually no. No bias here, just simple truth - truly an amazing DVD. Sure, I would have picked some different songs for almost every act, e.g. Sam Bush and Nickle Creek, but frankly it certainly clues folks in on just who tremendous these artists truly are. One listen to the first song - Deeper and Deeper with Bela Fleck, John Cowan, Sam Bush....and you will see my point. This DVD will be watched/listened to over and over. Trust me.

I was there!!!!.......2006-01-20

The BEST honeymoon anyone can ever have and truely the best music festival I have attended. I enjoyed the song selection and the behind the scenes interviews on the DVD. It was shot perfectly.
Only a couple minor glitches though. The DVD could easily have been expanded to a 2 or maybe even a 3 DVD set, being that Telluride is one of the major music festivals in the country, and the song "Nine Pound Hammer" by Telluride Cluster Jam could have been shown in its entirety.
