How to beat the cold

Our recipe: look at the original Bluegrass Blog today for its report on the four-and-a-half-hour concert held in Chicago on 23 October to mark thirty-five years of the Special Consensus.

In addition to the band's current lineup (who will be in Ireland six weeks from now), the show included many former members who have taken part in tours here: Marty Marrone, Darren Wilcox, and Colby Maddox from the very first Special C. visit in 1995, and Josh Williams, Justin Carbone, Ashby Frank, Tim Dishman, Jamie Clifton, Andrea Roberts, Chris Walz, Tres Nugent, and Ron Spears. Many of these can be seen in the video footage of the finale, shown on the BB post, and also visible on YouTube, where other numbers from the show can be seen.
