Mucho gracias
Puttin in work! Thanks fuller!
Not only is the only live version of Gram singing "Wild Horses" I assume is in existence, this boot also totally changes my mind about the Burrito Deluxe album. Lazy Days, Image of Me, High Fashion Queen, Cody Cody, and Horses all sound fantastic here, with killer vocals and Sneaky Pete coming through much better than on the studio versions. Just imagine how much deeper their legacy could have become if they had made it to Album #3, added another slate of great songs, and kept honing their chops on the road.
The self-titled album #3 was released in 1971 😂
@@Andy-v1h6u I know I know… I meant w Gram 🤓
Album number 3 was very polished. I was never a huge Rick Roberts fan, but he had a nice voice.
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised not only that they sounded this good at the "beginning of the end" as far as Gram goes, but that they worked up so many new songs. I got the impression they'd fall back on country standards, but they were definitely out there supporting Burrito Deluxe. So cool.
Seemed like this tour was one long intense poker game!!
Everybody’s crying wild horses but how about that Lodi cover !! Had no idea they played Creedence!
The greatest country-rock band ever!
Love the band but, BUT greatest. lol, Even Chris Hillman said they were the laziest band. Listen to the slop from some of their live shows. That being said I sure wish I was at this show... lol
Where's the rock part ?
@@mackpainter7445
Hit 'Play'.
At least Bernie paid respects to his friend Gram Parsons with the song MY MAN ,written by Bernie when he was an Eagle
Best Eagles song ever, in my opinion.
Gram just breaks my heart when he sings. He was on the verge of breaking thru by all accounts. Hillman, Kleinhow were great too.
I’m obsessed with Gram! 🤩
If you dig him then dig him up.
Holy shit, I never knew they covered Lodi by Creedence. My mind is blown
I believe it's on the Sleepless Nights album (released 1976) with Gram singing lead.
This is one of the best live recordings i've heard of the Burritos. So often they disappointed on stage but really together on this , thanks for posting
Regarding Wild Horses, Sticky Fingers didn't come out until April 1971, so this is practically a year ahead.
I love this, just makes me remember how wonderful Gram Parsons and crew were!!!💙💙💙
Venue was Memorial Hall gymnasium at Winona State College in Winona, MN
Thank you
You are right.I was there.
Holymotherogod this version of One Hundred Years From Now is STUNNING! I heard the Burritos were very ropey live. Well boy they're on FIRE 🔥 here (which I suspect has a lot to do with Bernie Leadon joining and Hillman moving to bass to cover for Etheridge's departure).
They are and always will be timeless. You can’t fake real feeing and emotion. They tell stories that relate to us all and always will 😍
Love hearing Wes's voice at the beginning. Wes Streater R.I.P.
That's who gave me this bootleg, like 1993 or something... sorry to hear he's passed
Great rock n roll photo...classic
Wow - Thanks a million for posting! I love Gram Parsons and the Burritos!!
I dig the Bernie Leadon , Chris Hillman combination
I saw the shell of the Burrito Bros backing up Loggins and Messina in 1975 or so in Seattle. The best part was Sneaky Pete.
I played hooky from high school to go see them on this tour on 21 May at Queens College, NYC where they played a small amphitheater as part of the free hour on campus.
I've got a framed picture of that one. Makes me happy. Unfortunately I wasn't there.
My Uncle was among the greatest of anti-war songs of that era .
Fly me to buritoville
The Gilded Palace of Sin album is a classic. The production on the album is really good . Back in the day , I avoided live albums but they progressively improved.
I have all of Gram Parsons solo efforts and the sweetheart of the rodeo. Don't have anything from international submarine band yet.my favorites are the flying burrito Brothers with Gram and without
@@tommycat2054 Get Byrds box set with rodeo best takes.
Happy birthday, Gram! 😢🙏🏻💔💜
What a great setlist and performance. Every song is killer!
It's a record, dumb ass!
@@paulsavage5057 dang you really are savage. This is a live concert moron. The setlist (meaning the songs they played that night) and the performance was grandiose
What a gem. Thanks for posting. Played guitar in a band my late teens. Rediscovering all this great music. FBB great to hear these guys together before GP left the group . I saw an interview with Chris H. He said he fired GP. Work ethic issues. Thank you for recording the magic of the FFB while GP was still with them. 🎸
That was Chris' first mistake.
Drug issues
@@curtzeek8818 that too! He OD ‘ed a few years later
@@markmcintosh1832 I know. I was a big fan of theirs back in the day. I was just looking thru the music being released for Record Store Day and they are releasing a live concert in Amsterdam for the occasion. It's titled, The Blugrass Special Live in Amsterdam from 1972. That started me looking thru youtube and listening to their music. I am making a list of lp's to buy that day.
This is my hometown. Glad I got to find this; it’s a pretty good set they played. Thank you for posting this.
Had no idea this existed, this is great to hear!
I didn't realize Gram was still playing with them as late as May of that year. Really cool to hear
Always liked FBB when Cris Hillman is featured vocalist.
Holy shit this is amazing
Made my morning!
someone mentioned Garcia with NRPS ,but Buddy Cage is the man!! Not to diminish any of the other legendary cats from all forms and styles. Its a great recording here man I love it!!!
Great to see someone give props and respect to NRPS and Buddy Cage. :)
Agree with both of you!
Berry Sless is fun, too
I proposed to my wife, listening to NRPS with Buddy Cage. The man is responsible for 44 years and counting of marital bliss (and my second instrument, the pedal steel...)
Gram is my Elvis
Mine too
Mine three. @@carolyngarman1422
Excellent tunes - band is almost brand new to me
Thanks for posting. I’m always in the mood for some GP. This is the first time I’ve heard Image of me in this set. Fantastic Flying Burritos Brothers
Rock n Roll HOF??? Why aren’t Burritos in yet?!!!?? Best band of last 50 years
money talks
Because of the bigots in Nashville we're jealous
@@kevinjoseph517 àA1qaA,
You must donate to Jann Wenner and Bnai Brith. You must be a simpleton.
Who gives a shit about the rock n roll hall of fame?
Fabulous.
FBB records are still hard to find in Winona Minnesota..
But not the call to prayer in Minneapolis.
Yes, pretty good!
Bernie Leadon's guitar playin on Lodi is wonderful and rich
I just picked up a very nice copy of this album today at a thrift store... then it appears on UA-cam. Weird
The matrix has got you neo
I'm late to the party .. I've heard father of country rock .. Where's the rock ?
I'm loving what I'm hearing ..
It's pure country
I am almost 70 and I can tell that you are much younger. I can answer your question. You'll have to understand that America was different back then than it is today. Listen to the popular country music of that time period (1960-1967) and you'll see that country music was very different from country music that's popular today.
I'm not talking about those who have transcended the time in which they lived (Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson). I'm talking about the popular country artists from the early/mid 60s who were not the icons of today. The Cash and Haggard types were not mainstream country artists at that time.
They were outside the mainstream. So, now think of the rock artists from that same period. The big ones; Beatles, Stones, Byrds, etc. In 1967 there was almost no overlap between the two genres. And there was a huge cultural division between the folks who liked the two music genres. Country music followers supported the American War Upon Vietnam while the followers of the rock groups were against the war.
They also smoked weed while country music followers were against smoking weed. They drank a lot of beer and hard alcohol. So to answer your question; in 1967, The Byrds (now with Gram after he replaced David Crosby in the Byrds) were the first group to bring aspects of culture, alternative or underground culture, to country music. This culture was dominant in the rock music scene at that time.
It was irreverent, outside mainstream radio acceptance, somewhat psychedelic, and the musicians had long hair (a really big deal for country fans at that time who were still wearing their hair 1950s style short). So the rock elements, including what I just wrote about, were in the music and in the personal style of the musicians.
The best way to understand this is to look up the top twenty country songs of 1966 and compare them to the top 20 rock songs of that year. They were very different from each other. What you think of today as country rock is a direct descendant of Gram's focus on merging country and rock music from that time period.
After Gram, the following artists went forward and had long careers. These particular artists carried forth Gram's legacy and helped to evolve country rock throughout the 70s and 80s and 90s. The list includes: Emmylou Harris, The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco, Eagles (first three or four albums), Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Brewer & Shipley (who don't get enough credit), Richie Furay, Loretta Lynn (especially her album with Jack White), Outlaws, Linda Ronsdadt, and JD Souther.
@@robbrown4621
Great answer :)
My short and quick answer to, "Where's the Rock":
Hit Play ▶️
This is fantastic! Great recording.
the band I was in at the time opened for them at this concert, May 24th possibly Gram's last show with FBB
@@bradkissell2240 with Gram? I did say possibly since I knew he was gone by the end of the month but did not know their schedule
The tension was extreme when I saw them the previous weekend at the Electric Circus in Toronto. I had struck up a nice consersation with Gram between sets, but was rudely interrupted by Hillman bursting into the lobby, chewing Gram a new asshole, accusing him of changing tempo and maybe even key during the intro for one of the songs in the first set. I don't think the audience had even noticed. I hadn't -- but Hillman was really pissed. If I remember correctly, Hillman said Gram had shifted from Juanita into Sin City. In the biographies I've read about this same thing happening elsewhere, but I was eyewitness to it on that day. So sad that this iconic group of players couldn't have hung together a little longer.
@@cherylappell1823 Great memory you have, Cheryl. How cool you got to speak with Gram!
Sounds like Hillman should have learned the key change in Lodi. The Gram stuff sounds great, but Lodi shows the band’s unprepared arrangement, Hillman included
(posted by Jerry) According to the book, 'HOT BURRITOS' written by John Einarson with Chris Hillman, Gram was fired on June 30, 1970 during a performance at the Brass Ring Club in Los Angeles.
I love this music.
thanx for keeping GP alive w his music. Happy bday GP yesterday. As usual: 4 crazy ppl!
Gram 💗

Lordy! That recording of Wild Horses is amazing.. so is the whole thing! Thank you for posting.
The only thing missing is Leon Russell's lovely piano on the studio recording.
1st album, international submarine band,with gram was a prelude, of would follow. Sadly missed by all his fans.
Gram sounds so vulnerable when he sings.
Best version of "Wild Horses"
ever.
Agreed.
Yep
Stones version better by far!
Writers of songs can capture the feel better than derivatives can
Keith can sing Wild Horses cuz he learned from GP, but Gram owned it Mick kinda sang it but he didn’t know what it was about. He always sounds a little foolish, overplaying his misinterpretation
Gram version of Wild Horses and Honky Tonk Women are better than the Stones Sorry Mick
Yours is Pat Bones version of Ain’t that a shame vs Fats Domino
I love the stones but never was convinced on the authenticity of their sound when they went country.
It’s almost like a parody . We’re with Gram it’s the real deal .
Thank you! This recording sounds wonderful ....! MarcoUnderSong
Great thank you
Sounds terrific. Thank you!
California Country
killer!
Gram Parsons - the genius Chris Hillman will never be. The giant the music industry fails to understand. The man Emmylou knew.
Cecil Connor was a spoiled rich kid, pathological self-aggrandizing liar, and irresponsible addict who took advantage and betrayed the trust of McGuinn, Hillman, the International Submarine Band, and the original Flying Burrito Brothers, whose name he stole. He wasn't fit to polish Chris Hillman's shoes. If you enjoy his music, fine.
@@THEScottCampbell Well, if I enjoy his music that's fine? Thanks for proving my point.
Gram was a complicated, brilliant man. Was his behaviour perfect; obviously not. Sneaky Pete called him a little understood southern wonder and a genius. Also a true and generous friend, so slamming him as a monster is inaccurate, Mr. Campbell. More to the point, his music is still remarkably current and appreciated. His fans truly love him.
@@THEScottCampbell"Pathological self-aggrandizing liar?" Pretty strong words, Scott. You must have known him very well to make that diagnisis. Care to elaborate? And from what institution did you receive your degree in Psychiatry?
@@THEScottCampbell Gram Parsons did not steal the name 'The Flying Burrito Brothers'. He, along with Chris Hillman, were founding members of the Flying Burrito Brothers. The original band never recorded anything. The band headed East and gave Gram Parsons the name. He did not steal the name.
cool tape! thanks for sharing
Hillman mentions the tape machine on the side of the stage: "We're making an album tonite..." I wonder what happened to that master tape...?
I think if that was discovered, it would be just fantastic
Lots of knowledge in this comment thread 👍
Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman were great but the real soul of the band was the Steel Guitar of Sneaky Pete Kleinow, his playing was innovative, not always understood in those times, specially the fuzz tone he used in their first Lp. Along with Rusty Young of Poco were the best Steel Guitar players of the Country Rock era
I agree, Pete was an innovator and had great soul!
who wrote n sang..those 2 u say arent the heart..gee how dumb..n SP quit.
100% The truth
Where do you stand on Red Rhodes?
if memory serves, Pete did other things as well, including audio FX for film and TV. He was a superb steel guitar player, but did not see the instrument as something _only_ useful in C&W music. His use of fuzz is an example. Guitars do it. Why shouldn't a steel guitar do it? No reason at all.
This is incredible! The sound quality is fantastic. Where did you get this? All I ever heard were how terrible they sounded live, but they are fantastic on this recording! Thank you so much for posting!
I didn't mess around with compression much, since it's a tape of a tape... plenty of compression already. Just added a little reverb and some EQ
@@Andy-v1h6u You did a great job. I did live sound for ten years. I'm working with music and AI now. Very soon, AI will be able to take all the different parts and 'clean' each independently. When that happens, this tape will sound almost brand new. Won't that be interesting. This is a stellar performance. Thank you for posting it. :)
@@Andy-v1h6u Do you know why there is a fade out of Wild Horses? Was it an issue with tape running out?
WH was a minor hit for the Stones but with the right treatment it should have become one of the greatest country songs ever written.
Yeah....instead it became a Timeless Rock Classic on possibly the Greatest Rock Album ever released. What a shame. By the way Gram didn't write it but was given an advanced copy to get pedal steel put on it. The Stones were wanted for tax evasion, on the run and couldn't bring any recordings they made in America back to England. They entrusted it to him and he released a version without their proper consent. Love the man's music but that's the real story.
@@myradioon GP got permission from Mick and Keith to record the song. Linda Rondstat corroborates this detail.
I think GP had a large contribution lyric wise. Chris Jagger (Mick’s brother) has been quoted to say “WH is actually a GP composition. Not that he ever got anything for it”
@@johnloftus6043 Its probably a bit of both. He was entrusted with getting Al Perkins the steel player who would eventually play on Exile on Main Street's 'Torn and Frayed' (recorded in France because they were tax exiles), to overdub in L.A.. The Stones took awhile to put WH out due to said legal problems and therefore let Gram release his version as the song was on the shelf. I think this was one of the songs written mostly during the studio session according to Jim Dickinson who played piano on it during recording at Muscle Shoals. There are other tall tales of Gram playing piano on the recording but these are false. They were hanging w the Buritto Bros. just before at Altamont and the song may have Grams initial influence and or input.
Personally, I don’t think it could have been any better than the two versions recorded by the Stones and the FBB - I wouldn’t change a thing about either of them. it wouldn’t have made for a great straight-ahead country song as the lyrics are too obtuse.
I had never heard this before, thank you.
❤❤❤
This sounds good...lets find some flying burrito bros live stuff...
Graham was a great country blues singer. Playing live, lots of things on stage could cause you to lose pitch - heck a lot easier to make it in the studio - these days lots of folks is using pitch correction - even live. If you listen to bootleg concert tapes of even major bands - well, the Eagles kinda set the high water mark on live performance. I actually like the steel guitar work and some of the other fill licks compared to the album cuts. This sounds like a mix of direct outs - not much room in the mix. I love the energy of these tracks - it fun to listen to them perform live - wish I coulda been there.
I use to use a Pich-fork when I was on the farm. It didn't make a musical noise, but stick it in someone's rear, and they shouted. LOL
I dont think monitors were as common or as advanced as they became so it was probably tough to hear yourself properly. I personally can sing better with just me and an acoustic but a band throws my vocals off always trying to sing louder.
@@mrjasondylan That’s a really good point. I’m sure that the monitors were either very poor or non-existent at that time, which would have made singing really tough. I saw a lot of bands at the Palomino during the ‘80s (including the re-formed FBB), and the live sound definitely got a lot better. It’s too bad GP didn’t make it that far, as his performances would have been phenomenal.
@@robertc5387 Yes he had plenty of natural born talent not many could have sang Love hurts the way he did with Emmylou also grevious angel sounds easy till you sing it and realise the vocals are up and down all over the place , most songs vocals I can learn in no time but this song takes practice. He had a good voice Gram but some live recording don't sound great, let's not forget he was using heavy back then . Even the Beatles had problems live but not through lack of talent.
8:12 ❤😊
The live version of "Wild Horses" on this video is SO MUCH better than what they released on Burrito Deluxe LP.
As for me, I miss Leon Russell's piano, which accompanied the song on the album recording.
And both are far better than the Rolling Stones original.
excellent drums on 'Wild Horses'
I wish Keef had left the Stones after Exile and got a band with Gram. There would have been some awesome magic happening.
Gram
im crying
Awesome thanks!!
Must have been at Winona State University campus.
8:12 ❤
Way to go Brothers.
I believe this concert was performed at the junior high school auditorium which has recently been razed.
I attended this concert and to be honest I thought the location was the old Middle School/Junior High Auditorium near downtown, but looking online "The Winonan", which was the Winona State College newspaper at the time lists the event at the college....... confused 🤔
This concert was at the mens gym at Winona State college.I was there and remember it well.@@steveyoung6422
I found this bit of trivia interesting….Jimmi Seiter, road manager of the Flying Burrito Brothers for most of 1969 when they toured with the Dead, noted in his memoir, “Jerry Garcia’s intense focus on Sneaky Pete's pedal steel playing and, the remarkable fact that on at least one night, Garcia played a pedal steel behind the stage in an attempt to see if he could keep up with Sneaky Pete. In this context, the fact that Garcia bought a pedal steel guitar the next week hardly seems like a surprise.”
yeah, I recall Garcia trying his hand at pedal steel back in the day. He described is as a bit like using a sewing machine. He felt he could just sit there and play it all night.
Keeping up with Sneaky Pete was another matter. He was not merely a brilliant steel guitar player. I believe he was also involved in doing audio FX for film and TV., and demonstrating that C&W wasn't the only thing you could do on steel guitar.
@@dennismccunney4462 Jerry played steel on the 1st New Riders album, and also on Deja Vu - Teach your Children... but by now, you probably already know that.
I would say Garcia's best steel playing is on David Crosby's 'Laughing, If I Could Only Remember My Name album. Absolutely brilliant.
@@dennismccunney4462 Sneaky Pete worked in visual effects as well.
Worked with Art Clokey of Gumby fame, even wrote a theme song for the show.
I don't know which music from the show he did but I would love to find out.
I suspect it is the music during the credits.
As a kid I always had the feeling "This song is way too complex for a kids show"
Loved "6 days on the road" off the Gimme Shelter soundtrack...
This is so great! I wonder why in the picture they don't show Bernie Leadon.
Instead there is a shot of Chris Etheridge on top far left. And lower left isn't
Bernie either, oh well. Gram is sounding on top of his game.
Maybe Bernie took the photo?
This explains why an band like the Eagles existed in the first place . Ahead of time the Flying Burrito Brothers . Bernie Leadon?
Y'all go read Twenty Thousand Roads, by David H. Meyer (assuming you haven't; it's new to me).
amazing
They got a bum rap as a bad live act. I think they were great. Gram sounds great here
read hillmans book
on the picture there is Chris ETHRIDGE, who was not any more a member of the FBB in may 1970, replaced by Bernie Leadon
@Kenton Hall you are right! Hillman switched from guitar to bass!
@@bernardcimetiere6451 Which he played in The Byrds, so not a huge leap
First time hearing this, interesting to hear them cover CCR....did Fogerty and Gram ever meet each other?
Must be Bernie singing this one
@@troymcclure4971 l think so.
Not that I know of. Read at least 8 books about Gram.
Chris was always the consummate pro. Sorry none of that rubbed off on his troubled bandmate.😢
I think it did have an effect but it was slow going for Gram in that department. I heard an interview with Gram after he left the Burritos and around the time he and Emmylou were performing together. Gram said he was surprised that Chris had gone on to take on the lead singing role in the Burritos but that he thought that Chris was doing a good job. It seemed that with that and with Emmylou's powerful loving insistence, Gram was starting to improve. We will never know but I have always had the feeling that Gram would have left a legacy akin to the legacy that Waylon, Merle Haggard, Steve Earle, or at the very least, Townes Van Zant left us.
Is there a way to get this on CD or MP3 by chance? Only live version of Wild Horses I’ve ever heard from them and it’s spectacular.
You can download
Tq
Bernie Leadon was in the band not Ethridge
Chris Ethridge was in the band when they did The Gilded Palace of Sin.
@@tomasranta6154 And later on also, with Gene Parsons and Joel Scott Hill.
@@commontater8630 Who’s Gene Parsons?!? 😵💫 In all seriousness though, do you know something I’m unaware of, or is this a Gram Parsons/Gene Clark mix-up….or hybrid??!! 😂
@@commontater8630 Oops! 😬 My bad….
He is of course an actual person and a drummer/musician in his own right - (just googled it) - only wish I’d done so BEFORE posting….what a tit I am 🤦🏼♀️!!
@@rubennett6478 Don't trouble yourself, always something new to learn. I live in the same part of the world (Northern CA) as Gene, and long ago I learned of him becoming a member of the revived FBB when I went with a friend to visit him, and he played us their just-recorded cover of Why Baby Why (for the Flying Again album), of which he was justly proud. He is also the co-inventor and producer of the Parsons/White Stringbender.

this picture doesn't match the line up as described as that is chris ethridge not bernie leadon .. but still a great show ....
They mention something about this being recorded for a possible live album.Anyone know about this ?
"LAST OF THE RED HOT BURRITOS" was a live album and their final LP. It received rave reviews upon release.
@@THEScottCampbell That album wasn't this recording though.
Was Pete the steel player here? Some nice playing on "100 Years From Now."
Yes....fairly sure he is
Gram Parsons rhythm guitar, Chris Hillman bass, Bernie Leaden lead guitar, Sneaky Pete Kleinow Steel, Michael Clark drums
Thanks for the reply James l knew he was greetings from Victoria Australia
Sneaky Pete Kleinow was the best, most people and other musicians did not catch on, Pete had attached a fuzz box on his steel guitar on previous recordings.
Check out Christine's tune.
Mystical, magical, magnificent.
@@TheMuudcat Bernie Leadon sounds awesome
