For The Old Rockers In The Crowd

This might be off the bluegrass topic, but you gotta respect drive & energy.
I always loved the opening riff, and the band has it nailed.
In my mind I can hear it (sorta) on the banjo!

Oh no not Led Zeppelin. When I was in the army I had a room mate who was obsessed with this band. All week long I had to listen to this tune played over and over again . So relieved when I got married and move into quarters.

Full disclosure: It’s a Led Zeppelin cover by a family band.

I saw that. I had to listen to the real thing. It was torture to my ears

Reminds me of a guy I heard about who feels the same way about “Unclouded Day.”

Some older rockers turn in the mandolin players. John Paul Jones might just move from rock star bass player to mandolin picker :slight_smile:

I love how he credits Back Porch Bluegrass, the first album from the Dillards. Released in 1963, it had “Dooley,” “Duelin’Banjos” & more.
It was also the year the Darlings first appeared in Mayberry.
