While from a different festival this photo shows the amazing scenery from the main street of Telluride. The incredible box canyon towards Bridal Veil Falls. On the left is the Sheridan Opera House where this NightGrass show was recorded. Seeing a show at the Opera House is like having a band in your living room. Its wonderful.
Leftover Salmon was a band that was formed in the camp grounds at Telluride Bluegrass. They went on to be a main feature at Telluride for well over a decade. Playing main stage sets filled with special guests, late night gigs like this one and all night picking parties in the camp grounds. I helped the band maintain a tradition, pulling an Anahuac at Camp Pork one year. Hopefully we hear more about that experience over here.
The band play all acoustic and gets some help from some great special guests. Couple songs from this one are featured on my Tumblr page.

Luke, great post! The guest accordion player is former full-time member Joe Jogerst, featured prominently on their first studio release, Bridges To Bert.
Cheers!

Great insight Falcon! The Mark Vann tributes and stories at this show bring back great memories. I miss him.
EUPHORIA history: Written in 1958 by Robin Remailly, one of the bad boys from Bucks County, PA. Other bad boys were his high school buddies Steve Weber and Michael Hurley, and later, Jesse Colin Young. Weber recorded Euphoria with Peter Stampfel on the first Holy Modal Rounders album in 1963 and on the last in 1999. A middle version was recorded in 1977 when the Rounders were a seven piece jam band that included Remailly on fiddle and electric mandolin.
Wow Mark – I had no idea. Thanks for bringing the knowledge. Robin Remailly must have been an early influence to Vince Herman’s rambling gonzo folk lyrical freestyle!
