The best Bluegrass/Mountain Music concert ever filmed

[LL]

All the music of the O Brother Where Art Thou? movie, performed by the original soundtrack's players.

The show was in 2001 at the Ryman, put on as a fundraiser. Magic moments throughout, and the sound quality is excellent.

Especially poignant because John Hartford was the emcee (and also played some). It was his last public performance before dying a few weeks later from cancer.

The best hour and 38 minutes you'll spend this month.

I listen/watch this about once a month! Some really great performances. One minor correction: Hartford died a year and a week later...or so. It was recorded May 24, 2000, Hartford died June 4, 2001.
