57 minutes with 19 musical cuts plus interviews...  the only available DVD of Hot Rize.

Why Hot Rize was called the greatest show in Bluegrass! If you are a devoted fan of Hot Rize, especially the Charles Sawtelle era, then this is a must-have item.

Here is the best video recording ever made of the band in its 44 years, produced by KET-TV Lousville — a five-camera shoot of an hour-long concert from July 1987 before a capacity crowd at the Kentucky Center for the Arts. Excellent sound, good closeups, “both bands” in top form, and interviews with both Tim O’Brien and Red Knuckles. Originally a PBS “Lonesome Pine Special”.  Rare and the only high-fidelity video available of “20th century Hot Rize”.

“The magic that was a Hot Rize show is brilliantly captured in this DVD… Heck, we’d buy it just for the classic set-within-a-set by Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers…These guys were consummate entertainers, not just four hot licks pickers.”
— John Lehndorff, Rocky Mountain News and Scripps-Howard

“It’s wonderful that members of the band were able to retrieve this show from July 1987, and release it on DVD. The show was originally filmed as part of the Lonesome Pine Special series for Kentucky Educational TV – the quality of the video and the sound is excellent, and the group was in top form, with fine lead vocals by Tim O’Brien and lovely, tight trios and duets.”
— County Sales

“When Hot Rize was recording a Lonesome Pine Special in Louisville, Ky., in 1987, the Colorado band had no idea the footage would be released nearly two decades later on DVD. This gem catches the bluegrass band at its peak and three years before they disbanded.”
— Ricardo Baca, Denver Post Pop Music Critic
