Aww man thank you for uploading. I hope the generations down the road still cherish this as much as we do. Music is so much more different, in intent and meaning, now than it was when this kind of music was created. The simplicity of the structure is balanced perfectly with the complexities of the soloing. And beauty in harmony, my gosh. Truly God’s Own Singers. Wonder if Gram heard the NS version of that one. Again thanks for sharing this perfection.
Best bluegrass band ever. Each an absolute master/monster of their craft
About a month before this, they were at the bluegrass festival in Berryville Virginia. I was there, and it was unreal. What got me was the music, of course, but to see the professional musicians in the first rows of the audience, and on the side watching and listening was what told me this was a special band at a special time.

i think i have a copy of the Berryville show...
Jerry Douglas was THE dobro. Also, the Flatt and Scruggs imitation was the icing on the cake.
Maybe the very greatest band of all times. Any music genre. Never a tighter unit than this. Maybe Flatt in Scruggs in the early 50s.

We're lucky to have been raised in the 'Bluegrass Mecca'!!
I was at this show and have a house recording on cassette that my brother in law managed to get for me. Saw many great shows at McCabes but this was the best !!
Just ‘Fireball’. They wasn’t bringin' the mail but they sure brought the heat.
You aren’t kidding about the quality of this one! Top notch!
Super enjoyable, thanks!!
Interesting mix choice to put the lead singer nearly exclusively in the left channel, and his guitar mostly in the right channel. For the commenter requesting 'more banjo', J.D. was a most skilled master of getting his banjo in just the right mix by moving to and from the mics. If you can't hear him, it's because he doesn't want you to.

I agree. Very interesting. And if you listen to the show played just a day earlier the stereo mix is completely different

@@RareGrassPlug Even though Ricky's mandolin and vocals dominated Tony's singing and playing at times, it was pretty well recorded.
I wish anyone would play mando like Ricky played back then. He was absolutely 1/1 in that era.
This recording is the best I’ve heard of the New South. The energy in this is just another level! 💥 Thank you so much for posting this!
Thanks for the upload!
Wow, this quality sounds incredible!! Plan to listen another 1,000 times!! ...at least ; )
By far the best band I ever saw live.

What an awesome mix for so long ago! Great stuff man!
These guys were among the most groundbreaking bands of the seventies and were all phenomenal musicians. Jerry Douglas was soon to be light years ahead of all of the other players for many years to come when it came to dobro. I love Chris Hillman but he did not write God's Own Singer or I'll Stay Around. I believe Bernie Leadon wrote the former and Lester Flatt wrote the latter.
The song at 1:04:40 is "I'll Stay Around" (not "Why Don't You Tell Me So").
Me and my kids were never ever to California
Turn the banjo up!!

You know this recording is 48 years old. Hollering at the screen to turn up the banjo won't affect anything. JD did not need someone to coach him at all.
At 1:15:14 Fireball Mail, the song is Fireball. No mail. :)
Wished l could score this CD. Any for sale ?

All live recordings sounded like this back then unless they have been re mastered.

This is actually not as bad as much of the live recordings of the day. It was before they had sound guys at the mixing board.
