What great memories. In '77 you could buy a lb of Panama Red for $400, double your money and have a quarter lb left, and listen to the greatest music ever.
That was the good old days.
@@clubmike2910 Some say it wuz the soil, some sez it wuz the climate, some even say it was the poop from pigs fed san pedro cactus!...what'ever it wuz I'd pay dearly for some genuine Panama Red seeds 'bout now...then again, perhaps, see'n the disgraceful state this country is now in, perhaps just mov'n to the mountains just up from the Pacific Coast of Mexico, where "Red" originally came from, would be the best move...would offer 50+ years, award-winning ganjah skills for a nice quiet place down there where I could continue to improve my farm'n skills💚
1974, just out of high school! Oh boy the good times we had- M Tucker band, CDB, NRPS
Unbelievably addictive, I remember this song and times in High School. Miss this most impressive classic sound with Buddy Cage on pedal steel. 🤠👊
One of the best concerts I've been to. 1981 , $5.00 admission
Yep, in 1974 I was sewing up shirts like that for friends. Denim, embroidery, rhinestones. Shoot, I'm still wearing denim skirts, peasant blouses, and Mexican silver. This is one of my favorite albums. What a delight to see NRPS play this live. Thank you. 🌹
right on ! i dig Nudie Suits and clothing !
@@sloburnjothose Nudie suits are worth mega bucks today
Cool is always in style
RIP Jeanne Rose.
I saw Gram Parsons' Nudie at the Country Music Hall Of Fame a couple of years ago.
He musta beena little tiny feller!
buddy Cage is all the rage on the pedal steel ! this band was out of sight !
Graduated high school 1973. Remember this song well.
Red breezed threw Connecticut briefly in 76. 45 an ounce when Columbian brown was 30 an ounce and gold was 35 an ounce.
Nobody could afford it.
Sugar, concert tickets were 6,7,8 dollars a show.
These musicians were trendsetters. Real time music still today!
He came thru Tuscaloosa Al on his way up there. We could not stop laughing and got thrown out of Waffle House. Best high ever.
I loved this song and loved this album; I always wished NRPS would have made it bigger; they blew the doors off country rock!
"Those were the days, my friend,
We thought they'd never end ..."
They did, but we can visit them, and reminisce, in ways we couldn't have imagined, in 1974. This future was waiting in the wings.
Panama Red ! Now that’s some talented artists ! Thanks for posting !
SURE MISS OL, PANAMA RED.!!! JAMES EAGLE.
The work he's doing on that steel pedal is just amazing! Now those were the good old days!
Buddy Cage...
This live version is the best I've ever heard. Buddy Cage elevates it to new, higher levels. Spectacular!!
Thanks that sure enough will always be as good as the first time I heard that album. ❤
I worked in a small club on Long Island back in the late seventies; when these guys were on the schedule, we knew it was going to
be a fun night. Good guys also.
I loved this band. Buddy Cage was a killer pedal steel player.
Two bong hits of red and me and friends got lost downtown. Great stuff
I was 13, and I heard it on AM radio. I thought it was about wine!
Back in 1969 it was the strongest weed I ever smoked. And it still holds the record.
They don’t have weed like that today - that shit got you stoned
Love the pedal steel guitar! Awesome band, awesome song!
This is 3 months before I got to see NRPS, at a Day On The Green in Oakland!! That was a great concert 50 years ago in June 1974. I still wear my NRPS T-shirt & my bff sent me a NRPS patch for my summer shorts, she loves them as much as me.❤❤❤❤
I miss the 70s, college is where I learned about this awesome band. Hello to any Thiel College students of the 70s.
Greenville,Pa!!
Was 18 when this came out. Great memories.
Senior year. 👍✌
I played in a band that did many NRPS songs. It was a blast. Panama Red was a visitor on many occasions! 😂
Awesome I was born two days after this!
This is beyond classic. Remember the album cover. Just to add, love the country music spawned from the psychedelic San Francisco scene.
1974 pretty fun leaving for montana from colorado
Good music, that's for sure
Boy does this bring back memories, I remember when the Vietnam war was ended, there are military was forced to ship in a lot of illegal marijuana freshly shipped in from all over the nations of the world. One of them was Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, add Thai sticks from Thailand. Freshly flown in by our military government.😅😊😚👌👍🥴
Oh man another one of my favorites ✌️❤️
I wonder how many people don't know what "panama red" means.
Had some real Panama Red back then. A friend got some from his brother who was working at the canal. It was everything they said.
Let's remember the Acapulco Gold. We can write a song.
This is great for those of us who never saw them play. Great music. Great musicians. Bet their shows were cool casual. 😎 🚬
I bought their album in 1988 after I heard jerry Garcia was in the band 😮
Skip Battin RIP
Torbert was better
@@gordonhuskin7337 maybe in your opinion. I don’t want to open a “who is better” thread. I only meant to honor Skip here.
@@elberthooker9356 Fair enough
Skip Battin appears to be having a really good time.
Cage is on fire!
Is that Torbert on bass or did he leave for Kingfish at this point?
Senior year of High School when the New Riders came to town. Great band! Fun times! Not many rock bands with steel guitar back then.
Great band! Buddy Cage!
Sure love those tie dye amp cabinets. ✌😊
There is still a source for those grill cloths today!
Probably got the idea from the Grateful Dead. Dead and NRPS played together a bit
@@billcain9249 They might just be the Deads gear too.
@J.R.Psych74 seems like it's the deads gear, that looks like Bobby's guitar that Marmaduke is playing
@@billcain9249They often opened for the Dead and Garcia often sat in with them. Probably the biggest gig they ever did with the Dead was as part of the Winterland Farewell show on New Year’s Eve 1979
Damn!!! Cool as it gets!!! ❤
When I started liking the pedal steel.
We broke up an LB at my buddies house once and it was wrapped in a Panamanian newspaper. Sweet.
I have that patch from their concert.
Thank you
Love these guys. Such talent.
Saw them at The Bodega in Campbell CA in the 80s. Great show.
When I was a kid and this came out, my dad had the album. I had no idea what the song really meant, but I liked it!
I know I saw the Doobie Brothers with my straight cousin and wonder if these guys opened for them. If I can't remember the NRPS concert I guess I was there. Still have their vinyl for sure.
Good Jams for Decades🎸
They all lived in Marin county, mostly put near Baulinas area. Two of them used to bring their dogs to the kennel I worked at. They gave me one of their gimme hats when they heard me sing panama Red and chatted them up.
The Midnight Special
Got Mexican, Columbian and a thi combo from delicious seeds going down soon hopen brings back memories of living wild and free ( still free as one can be ) Peace
New Burritos of the Flying Sage Brothers
seen new riders at steel auditorium california pa in summer of 76 great show was right at stage watching and smoking some panama red or was it colombian maybe mishmacon
One of my all time favorites ! Panama Red !!! 🚬
Wow, they are playing their own instruments
Still remember almost all the words from that album......wore out the 8 track.
Great blast..
Had a puff or two or 3 this kiwi did travelling through Mexico and southern. States mid 70's 😉
Classic NRPS. Good ol' Spencer...
I was living in Austin Texas in 1974 and you could get great Oaxacan Weed for $275 a lb. Columbian was $325 to $350 but I actually preferred the Oaxacan, I was getting 10lbs at a time, I would sell a couple as lbs. then break 6 or 7 of them into quarter lbs and ozs , I would make some money and have a lb for myself , we would get high then head over to Casita Jorge's for Tex-Mex then on to The Armadillo World Headquarters or Soap Creek Saloon for cold beer and great music
🔥🔥🔥
Heard this for the first time in 7th grade art class.
Tie died speaker cabinets, Yeah-Man!
Didn't Jerry Garcia help start this band? I bought this album at the BX at Eglin AFB FL, surprisingly they had a great selection of albums.
Got my copy of "Home, Home on the Road" at Navy PX while serving 15 months isolated duty on Midway Island (2.5 sq miles) 1974. And a nod to the AF squadrons that would stop off to refuel coming back from Thailand area !! those sticks
@@cdog9559was on midway '76 fucking-up big time! co asked if i wanted a free trip to pearl harbor; i said sure; co said "no problem, if i see you here at captains mast again, you get an all expenses paid trip to the brig". straightened me out fast. used to love the fly-boys coming through with the good herb from all over!
jerry played pedal steel on nrps, their first lp. nr's toured with the dead and garcia played with them all for awhile; i don't think he played on any more of their albums?
Far out man!
There's a couple really good farms that supply Panama Red up here in Canada. This is the strainI use as an example that its not always about the THC %. A legit Panama Red strain will come in around 15%-18%.
did they buy the GD's gear since they were using the Wall of Sound?
They sometimes double billed with the Dead. Sometimes with Maria Muldar. Don't you feel my leg. 😀
all in the family
Looks like marmaduke is using Bob Weirs guitar
@@pattilemonhouse7911often opened for the Dead at Winterland 👍👍👍👍
That bass player is firing .. 😳
He sang ‘Joints’. Huh-Hu-Huh-Hu-Hu.
"smoke too much you'll fall on yer head"........
It was good 😅back then.
I was on my way to see them in 1973 in a blizzard in Denver. We got rear ended by an off duty cop. Not much damage and we wanted to let it go, but him being a cop, he wasn't going for it. Accident was his fault and he was kind of a jerk about the whole thing. We pulled off the road to a gas statin, but because of the blizzard, it was 3 hours before they came to make a report. Obviously, missed the who show, but at least he didn't mention the reek on our clothes, on the way to a concert and all.
I saw them at Cain’s Ballroom back in the day
That and the Mexican black bird
the younger brothers got the tie-dye amp covers ...
Oh I loved Panama Red made you feel all right stop nowadays just makes you want to go to sleep😅
Where’s Henry?
Last I heard he got to Mexico and turned his truck around!
Skip instead of Dave but still proto NRPS
Could be my age too😂
Talk about a blast from the past LOL…. reminds me of driving down the 401hwy with 6 garbage bags full in the back.. LOL…. those were the days my friends.LOL
Mota!
✌️
🪶
✨
where is marmaduke
Pretty sure that's him playing Bobs guitar. I thought the same thing.
He's there without his white hat sporting a new hairdo.
The audience appears well sedated 🥴
What is panama red .... ha ha ... try this at a concert today 2024 .... oops the audience all get thrown out of venue by security ..oh how true ....😮😊😊😊 ... hey could even video it on a mobile phone ...shut up ...
@@adrianpeters2413 I think you need to lay off the panama red brother....
Sure, miss the days when all you saw was smoke, pipes & joints with no Cell phones. Can't go back so we just shake our heads enjoy the show as it was meant to be & keep the memories. Funny thing is us older folks remember all those great weed names but now with hundreds of new strains we can't tell one from another LOL. !!!
I remember smoking Panama red and listening to this song! ✌😊
I think they copied a lot from Gram Parsons.
Are they singing about weed? Well duh.
