How wonderful to see a review with such great details! Thanks so much for posting this. I wanted to reiterate about the sales of the DVD from Athens Music dot net. They are not doing discount merch, but the discount ($16, includes s/s) is now through the end of April (postmarked in April) at the following address, and via personal check or bank draft, etc.: CowTrails Productions, PO Box 912, Winterville, Ga. 30683. You may send an inquiry beforehand to: HolidayMusic2004@aol.com if you'd like further information.
Again, thanks so much to Michael for a great review and the time spent to put it together. Vassar's Holiday Band dvd is really something! 2 hours and has out-takes and so worth the purchase. Nearly half of the proceeds goes to musicians' charities and beneficiaries. (i.e., the original performance was for Nuci.ORG)
FYI: others who have the dvd: John McEuen, Merl Saunders, Peter Rowan, Bob Weir, and many others!
