According to the intro every time he plays RockyGrass, this is the one
and only time each year Sam plays with a pure bluegrass configuration -
though this time he included a snare drummer, a change from previous
years.  I prefer the band without the drummer, but the snare didn't
detract as much as I thought it would from the more bluegrassy style
than his usual, more rock-tinged sound.  Also in contrast to RG years
past, Sam didn't close out the night, but instead preceded the closer,
Alison Krauss & Union Station.  Didn't seem to bother Sam much, aside
from not being able to do 30+ minutes of encore.

FWIW, I recorded this one with Schoeps MK21/KC5/CMC6 > V3, though I
prefer this source better.  Not as solid sound quality as the AKUS
recording from the same night, but still mighty fine!
