Sort of like some of those gem Grateful Dead shows from the early to mid 90's. I like older (more recent) Monroe as well. He could play better then than I ever will and his timing and phrasing are still more than enjoyable. Every time I hear Monroe talk it reminds me of my grandpa; this is even more true when I listen to some of the recordings of Monroe from the 80's and 90's. The first Monroe recording i listened to at any length was a cassette (live at the Grand Ole Opry) from the 90's and it was beautiful.
