Doc Watson - Rare Performances 1982-1993

Product Description This DVD features performances of Doc Watson ranging from his 1950s musical partner, pianist Jack Williams, to his son Merle (seen playing exquisite slide guitar)... Also with Ricky Skaggs (singing and playing mandolin in a Monroe Brothers style set), and a stellar string and featuring Mark O'Connor, Tony Rice, Bela Fleck, David Grisman and Jerry Douglas. This collection ends with a solo set from Doc which brings his music full circle to the straightforward simplicity with which it was first presented during the 1960s folk revival. Run time 60 minutes DVD is region 0, playable worldwide. Review A great way to keep Doc before us. This is superb! It made me feel I was sitting right near the stage again, listening to Doc and all the other outstanding musicians on this collection - Merle, T. Michael, Jack Lawrence, Ricky Skaggs, David Grisman, Tony Rice, etc., etc. How can everyone of them play so well? But Doc is the center of inspiration, feeling, and musical virtuosity throughout. I do miss him terribly, but this DVD helps to ease the loss. --Mountain Gal/Amazon Customer Review If your a Doc fan then you cannot help but love these short concerts. I had the privelage of seeing Doc Watson 3 times in his life. The first when we were both young and the last when he was in his 80s. These films are priceless. --Jeff/Amazon Customer Review
