Thank you to the Grisman family for putting together a great night of music and celebration!
That was a lot of show, with an incredibly deep line-up of talented musicians. The first set focused on as emcee Joe Craven put it "the youngs doing the old, and the second set on the olds doing the new". Dawg hasn't been playing a lot of shows since COVID, but he's clearly kept playing and writing, as his chops are in good form and he had a bunch of new tunes we got in the second set. The whole show was comprised of David's compositions, which meant a night of mostly instrumental music, save for the Old & In The Way first encore.
It was great seeing the various combinations interplay throughout the evening. This wasn't so much a passing of the torch as a sharing of the torch between three generations of musicians. Some highlights for me were the opening set from Sam, Billy Strings, Ronnie McCoury, Alex Hargreaves, and Dominick Leslie playing classic material from the DGQ songbook, the second set features of DGQ veterans Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, and Todd Phillips with Billy playing the Tony Rice parts, and when Joe Craven and Jim Kerwin came out to reprise the Garcia/Grisman collaboration Grateful Dawg with Billy shining on guitar. Sam Bush's appearances were great, and Danny Barnes was rock solid all night. Del McCoury's grandson, Ronnie's son proved a very adept guitar player, carrying on that family's music legacy.
That's a picture I took of Billy, Dawg, Todd Phillips, Jack Lawrence, and Danny Barnes up top. How cool to see Jack after all these years, carrying on Doc Watson's vision for Bluegrass. The encores featured the Dawgestra, with everyone on stage, including more guests such as Radim Zenkel. I counted 27 musicians on stage for Old & In The Way, and even more for the following encores with many members of the Grisman family joining the action.
The crowd, like the musicians, was diverse in age too. From the young beautiful neo-acid-hippies and older traveling tour heads to the grey panthers, it was a night of shared celebration that this traveller felt blessed to have witnessed.
Long live David Grisman!

This is what would have gotten me there, or most anywhere remotely near me.
Billy ain't no Tony Rice, but he's probably as close as anyone could get. Very cool of him to make the effort to be there to honor a king of his genre.
