Reviews
- One of the finest live albums ever, this sounds like ur at the Cellar Door with the band just feet away, the song selection/ cover tunes make this set accessible not to mention the picking… some of the best ever!
Nice recording of a fine bluegrass group. My disc 1 has more surface noise than disc 2, vinyl is thin ‘70s vintage, but overall a nice addition for any Seldom Scene or modern bluegrass fan.
The Seldom Scene - Live At The Cellar Door” is an exceptional album that captures the essence of Bluegrass and presents it with a vibrancy and energy that can only be found in a live recording. Recorded in the intimate setting of the Cellar Door in Washington, D.C., this album offers splendid acoustics that highlight every nuance of the string instruments and harmonic vocals. The acoustics of the venue significantly contribute to bringing the music directly and authentically to the listener, as if one were standing right in the midst of the audience.
The dynamics of this live recording are truly fantastic. From gentle, emotive ballads to fast-paced, foot-stomping tunes, “The Seldom Scene” showcases a range of emotions and technical prowess that impresses. Particularly remarkable is the way the musicians interact with each other. The spontaneous interactions and the obvious enjoyment they derive from their music translate to the listener and create an atmosphere that is both authentic and inviting.
The band’s ability to communicate with the audience and maintain a connection among themselves on stage lends the album a lively dynamic that is rarely captured so clearly on a live recording. Every solo, melody, and harmonic vocal is executed with care, while still leaving room for improvisation and spontaneous moments that are essential to live music.
Overall, “Live At The Cellar Door” by The Seldom Scene is not just an outstanding Bluegrass album but an impressive example of how live music can be vibrant and dynamic. It captures the energy of a live performance in a way that immediately places the listener in the front row. A must-have for lovers of acoustic music and those who appreciate the raw, unadulterated beauty of live recordings.
Incredible performance from one of the best bands in bluegrass. A must have. Amazing vocal and instrument clarity.
