Great memories .... if you're a real fan of Bluegrass music.

Yes, if you are a die-hard Bluegrass fan, you must get this DVD. Some great footage of some of the greats. Some great footage of younger players, too.

But realize that the sound quality (and really, the video quality as well) is not what you'd find on most music DVD made in the past ten years. That's why only 7/10: the sound is pretty bad on a lot of it, especially the mixing (or lack of it): sometimes you see that there's five instruments playing but you only really hear one or two.

But in the end you get 29 performances and a good bit of commentary from some of the legends of Bluegrass music, material that preserves some great memories of twenty years ago. I was not there during this awards ceremony but it did bring back memories for me of having experienced concerts & jam sessions with almost all of the featured performers here.
