SELDOM SCENE
Washington 1973 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Lisner Auditorium, Washington, DC; January 28, 1973 (not March 1 as listed). Very good soundboard.
The Seldom Scene is an American bluegrass band formed in 1971 in Bethesda, Maryland. The Scene has been instrumental in starting the progressive bluegrass movement as their shows include bluegrass versions of country music, rock, and even pop. What does it take for a bluegrass band to remain popular for more than four decades? For The Seldom Scene, it’s taken not only talented musicians, a signature sound, and a solid repertoire, but also a sheer sense of fun. - seldomscene.com

Thanks to flux3000 for sharing the show at Dime.
flux3000 noted:
This show has been in digital circulation for a while. I have not been active on the torrents for some time so I don’t know if it has been frequently shared over the years. I wanted to share it here just in case ANY BLUEGRASS FAN doesn’t already have this recording, and its 1974 counterpart that I’m also sharing. These recordings are must-haves for any music lover and are (in my opinion) the two finest recordings of the classic Seldom Scene that circulate. The quality is outstanding and the performances are peerless. They have been a cornerstone of my bluegrass library since I first heard them.
