Live New York City 1982, originally pulled from David Bromberg’s tape stash for limited edition sales a few years back, is the only album to date by the bluegrass-oriented David Bromberg Quartet (DBQ), but it sounds as fresh as if recorded on their current spring/summer tour. Newly remastered for re-release on Appleseed, and now sporting droll, informative liner notes by David, Live NYC 1982 features three of the current members of the Quartet – Bromberg (vocals, guitar, fiddle, mandolin), award-winning fiddler Jeff Wisor (also mandolin, harmony vocals), and “Butch” Amiot (bass guitar, harmony vocals) – and Gene Johnson (mandolin, fiddle, harmony vocals), who now plays with the successful country/bluegrass band Diamond Rio and was eventually replaced by ex-Greenbriar Boy Bobby Tangrea.
