"A neosurrealistic romp in the manner of the early Beatles films, in this instance starring the Nitty-Gritty Dirt Band doing their whimsical thing as they sing the title tune"--Creative Film Society 16 mm. film rental & sale catalogue, 1975.

Joined by friends and family for this very special celebratory concert -- a must-see event for country music fans -- the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band performs selections from their highly acclaimed "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" album series. One of the genre's most widely admired groups, the Dirt Band is accompanied here by country greats such as Vince Gill, Rosanne Cash, Alison Krauss, Earl Scruggs and many others.

Filmed and Recorded Live at Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, Tennessee, on September 14, 2015, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Friends - Circlin' Back: Celebrating 50 Years captures a group of longtime road warriors who've yet to lose their grit, joined onstage by John Prine, Sam Bush, Vince Gill, Jerry Jeff Walker, Alison Krauss, Rodney Crowell, Byron House, and Jerry Douglas. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer (and early Dirt Band member) Jackson Browne joined in, along with longtime member Jimmy Ibbotson, while a sold-out crowd sings along in the background. From country classics to deep cuts, the tracklist finds bandmates Jeff Hanna (guitars/vocals), Jimmie Fadden (drums/harmonica/vocals), Bob Carpenter (keyboards/accordion/vocals) and John McEuen (banjo/fiddle/guitar/mandolin) swapping harmonies, trading solos, and shining new light on a catalog of vital, vibrant music.

Join the band that embodies “Americana” for a concert with songs by Bob Dylan and from the groundbreaking album Will the Circle Be Unbroken, a multi-artist, multi-generational, three-disc 1972 masterpiece. Recorded in September 2022 at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, it’s a night of hits, history and Dylan.
