are you cracked? December 27, 2003

To the individual who gave this DVD one star and commented on the "individual I've never heard of sitting by a river [blah, blah, blah]..." If you've never heard of Peter Rowan, you have no business blasting the makers of this film. It's CLEAR you are no expert!Yes, there is a great deal of talk and interviewing; this is not a concert film. It is; however, a must have for any bluegrass fanatic, especially those who have made the annual pilgramage to Kentucky for the IBMA's. Enjoy this one!
 Gather at the River - A Bluegrass Celebration DVD March 15, 2003

I want a Refund! I have been a Bluegrass fan for 50 years but this DVD is a sad representation of what was advertised. For example, Johnny Hartford was once a fabulous banjo player, but in this DVD, his talents are confined to dialogue only. In fact, most of this DVD was down-home chatting in the absence of any form of quality sound. E.G., Some guy I never heard of sits next to a river somewhere and talks about banjo playing (he can't do any of it)while strumming a guitar - that is the entire theme of the DVD. Video quality stinks and sound quality and content is terrible. This is no Eric Weisberg (Deliverance)equivalent!
 Outstanding Bluegrass collection December 15, 2002

A well balanced collection of some of the best players. An excellent selection of music, and just enough talk to stitch the performance parts together. I listened to it nearly every day for a week after I received it... the segments by the young players and foreign players are especially entertaining. You come away thinking that Bluegrass is the music of the future... really good-time DVD.

I've owned this on laserdisc for a few years and am anxious to receive my DVD copy. This is a concert/documentary of a bluegrass festival in the early 90s. Great footage and quality sound by the likes of Peter Rowan & band, Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley & band, Del McCoury, and many many more. I'm glad to see more bluegrass available in this format. Pick this one up, you'll enjoy it!
