what a pain in the ass these things are.
Thanks for sharing! I haven't seen any "new" Birchmere footage in forever. Loving it! ❤
Vocals stepping on music? Shameful
…..Excellent thank you.
It looked at first that the original cone was slotted for the cable, but went frame be frame and it appeared some sort of stick something to protect cable from side of cone. Did I see that right? Dot of silicone?
The cone was not modified in any way. There may have been a dot of pliable putty where the wiring went through the wall of the cone ledge, on the way to the jack. I don't recall.
Was there ever a episode 3?
czcams.com/video/8p2ZkgRCybE/video.htmlsi=sSa_w7NJ25-mvoxC
Just a great group. Saw them more times than I can say. The talent was amazing.
Hey camera man.... BANJO MATTERS! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS BEN!
You're a few decades too late ;-)
Hi! Ver well explained, thanks! :) I'm looking for some info, regarding the replacement of this Spider resonator with a bisc. resonator. Is this possible? I have a self made dobro, round neck, with a spider reson. and i'm wondering if sound would be more bluesy with that change... what do you think? thanks in advance!
The OMI/Dobro Model 33 was the only guitar I know that could accept both spider and biscuit but, required a special 10 1/2 inch biscuit cone which is no longer made. The guitar was not that popular. The standard National style biscuit is 9 1/2 inches dia. and it would be almost impossible to modify a spider built guitar to accept that cone. They also mount completely differently.
@@dcsteelman thank you very much for your help :)
@@dcsteelman by the way: is there any way to hack a dobro spider reso. to mod its vibration?
Not really. It sounds like you should get a metal body biscuit bridge guitar. @@territorio_salvaje
THANKS FOR SHARING
Glad you saved this video thank you!
Currently reading John Duffeys Bluegrass Life. Thanks for posting this video.
Seldom scene are excellent as always
Bad buzzing on my Paul Beard Model R which, despite you saying you're buzz free at the end of this video, I can still hear (42:18 and 42:32) from your instrument. You seem to blame the age of the 3rd string, but I have exactly the same issue with my 3rd (a 29 btw). I put on a brand new 3rd, and that fixes the issue but after a few good plays the buzz is back. Is this a Paul Beard instrument issue? I'm kinda relieved that I've found another instrument that has this issue, but also concerned because you don't appear to hear it. Any tips on how to fix? Great video. Thanks man.
No buzz on my end. Clean as a whistle. Can't comment on yours without having it on the bench. Strings, nut and inserts are all "replacement/wear items" and are often tweaked or replaced due to age & wear/tear when necessary! Good luck with finding your issue.
@@dcsteelman Are you not hearing the buzz at the times I've highlighted? You even reference it as being the string (42:37 "That third string is dead..."), but it's a clear buzz, and it's exactly the same buzz the third string on my Paul Beard produces. I have noticed, thanks to your video, that my spider isn't aligned correctly. I've also been advised to look at the feet (the parts of the spider that touch the cone) to make sure they're all making contact, but I note that you didn't reference that in the above video. Is that a common issue? Thanks man.
@@nathonjones9825 I'll review the video again. If I alluded to a dead string than I did. Strings DO go dead of course and when I play I do change the strings before and after every gig. A lot of us do that. I don't have a recollection of the strings that were on the guitar 2 years ago ;-). many boxes of strings have come and gone . As for the spider, yes. Absolutely normal to misalign over time. Make sure that the bridge is absolutely perpendicular to the neck. Also if a cone becomes deformed over time, preventing proper spider contact, the cone should be replaced. This is assuming the guitar's tension screw has been appropriately adjusted. You don't mention the guitars age but fwiw, my guitars get set up every 3-5 years (professional player). I know several known players that have setups done EVERY year. I also change strings every 3 hours or so. Many players also do this. Unlike a conventional guitar, the bar really shortens string life.
@@nathonjones9825 I've relistened to the segment and the 3rd string definitely "thuds" as I mention but, after adjusting the tension screw the guitar plays "clean" (rattle free) which has nothing to do with the 3rd string. Hope that clears things. Good luck with yours!
Wow, and this betamax almost ended up in the trash??!!😢
Musically I prefer this incarnation of the scene but vocally with John Starling was much better ,he just lacked the chops on the guitar.
Everyone is allowed their favorites! 🙂
I got to meet Phil Rosenthal about 10 years ago. Great guy! We even got to play some songs with him... thanks for posting this video
Cool!
This is really great to see! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This brings back a lot of memories. I didn't see myself in the crowd shots but I think I was very likely to have been there. If not that night, then there were many similar evenings. Such a great band and I very rarely missed a Thursday at The Birchmere when I lived in the area during the early to mid '80s. Thank you so much for finding and sharing the show.
Thanks for sharing!
I heard them play at the Red Fox outside Washington, DC
A great discovery! What a treasure......
Just great, thanks
An old fan of Seldom Scene and Betamax!
1 out of 2 isn't bad! :-)
cool!
Seldom Scene was a favorite guest of Tommy Hunter for his Tommy Hunter Show which aired nationally in the 70's and 80's in Canada . That where they became a favorite of mine
Some fine videos available of them on the Hunter show.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG l use to watch The Seldom Scene at the Carlisle Blue Grass festival up in Ontario Canada back in the 70's
East coast polyester bluegrass? Is it raining in here, or...?
bwahahaha..
What an absolute treat to see and hear this! Thank you SO much fort sharing !
xoxoxo 🙂
@@dcsteelman 😘
The Seldom Scene wasn't even the best bluegrass band in the state at the time.
Didn't know there was a measuring stick for "best".
Wasted 3 mins listening nobodies
Great Bluegrass Classic Group and a Mike Nesmith inspired ditty.I loved this clip.
This is a treasure! Thank you so much for bringing it to light.
Eric, thanks for all your support and the fine, fine music!!
10/10 Thank you!
You're welcome!
Phil Rosenthal got me here. Thanks for this, fantastic stuff.
At 30.40 you say "you can't see the nut, but I can". It has always been my understanding that the nut is at the peg head end and the saddle is located, in this case on the spider. That said, I have heard some European sources reverse that order.
At 30:40 the nut is not visible on the screen. I was confirming that I could see the strings in the nut slot.
Thanks for sharing. I had a betamax once. And this truck driver thanks you for the great podcasts also. You can find the music but the interviews and stories are the real treasure.
He is my favorite 👍
Hundreds os thursdays...
We were prob'ly there at the same time! :-)
Wow, I don't know how many times I saw them in that same room. Thanks for the memories. None like them ever.
Thanks for the memory and reminding me that time spent at a bar isn’t always wasted.
Lot's of fond memories of seeing them play the Birchmere when they played a weekly slot. Always a good time. Great band!
Saw it on Bluegrass Today. One of the best groups ever. Nice to see and hear Duffey again. Thanks for the upload.
An extraordinary piece, thank you!!!
nice!
My favorite -- the Phil Rosenthal version of Seldom Scene 1977-86. Of course, Phil's version of Muddy Water is the best. And shout out who got so many of us into Bluegrass/Newgrass -- Deejay Lee Michael Demsey of WAMU-FM 1982 to 2018 weekday afternoons.
This is great, Howard! Why does Mike move to the other mic to sing?
He also had a vocal mic by his instrument mic. If singing and playing happened quickly he stayed stage left. If he didn't have to back up or solo he preferred to get as close as he could to John & Phil, to get a better vocal blend in the trio.
use to drive to D.C. from Richmond on Saturday just to hear 88.5 WAMU just to hear Bluegrass music all day......Fredericksburg was about where we could pick up WAMU to hear Katy Daly and other legends of WAMU. Back then there was no satellite radio with 24/7 Bluegrass so I as a fan chased the music......Saturdays and Friday evenings were my Bluegrass times at WAMU 88.5.....Good Memories........Lest we not forget the Bluegrass bands that played Wolftrap in Vienna Va. Dang I could go on and on!
This is Howard. It's a joy to work with Katy. She is "Deep History". The stories..my, my!!
Those of us who lived in northern Canada, picked it up via skip radio when the weather conditions were right. Mostly Indiana , some Kentucky and Illinois stations that had big enough transmitters so the signal could ride off the clouds over the great lakes. Speaking of sound , the original recording must be very good, for the audio of this 3rd generation to be pretty darn good. Thanks for posting !
Outstanding!!! They were cutting edge Bluegrass back in the 1970's. Living in Richmond I went to the Birchmere many times to see them even after joining the USAF I had thee pleasure to see them in Japan. The best of the best!
What a find!! Thank you so much for sharing this treasure!! Fun to see Kitsy and Pete Kuykendall (Roberts)of Bluegrass Unlimited at 16:01.
What a treasure!!! Takes me back ....
