Old & In The Way Discography Old & In The Way were formed in early 1973. The initial group comprised Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan and John Kahn. Fiddler Richard Greene was added shortly after the group formed but dropped out after a couple of months because of other commitments. Vassar Clements then joined the group and appears on all their recordings. The group had a short existence playing through much of 1973 then briefly reconvening for one bluegrass festival in 1974. In total they played probably less than 50 shows. Old & In The Way are thought to have recorded a studio album in 1973 but it was never released. All the Old and In The Way releases derive from live recordings made in October 1973. Additions, corrections and comments are welcome
