    This is great country music. Americana.🎸🇺🇸. Thank you for letting us hear a great show from the past. I love hearing Chris talk about the days he spent with Graham P. They had a good chemistry while it lasted. RIP Graham.

    Thank God for the radio stations that had the foresight to record its live simulcast back in the early freeform days! I was a DJ at one of them back in the ‘70s and we did hundreds of these, from the Dead to Robert Fripp. There were a couple in the NYC area. On election day 2020, fate had me standing in the sleet for 2+ hours and the old guy behind me turned out to be the engineer who did years of live broadcasts, plus studio sessions…and he kept tape back-up copies. ..has everything from “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” LP sessions to Gram Parsons & Fallen Angels live broadcast.

    50 years ago, I read about some guitarist's body burning out in the Joshua tree desert.
    I wasn't an active fan yet- I was a NRPS fan and eventually became a Graham fan.
    Well when he created with the Byrds, Intl nat sub band, Burritos and his excellent albums with Emmyluo- he REALLY set the tone! Then like Ricky Nelson, and many others - poof! Maybe he's in Baltimore, running around the streets...
    Thank God I STILL have an aversion to needles, and yet now somehow donate type -O to the Bloods! Did Graham see Keef do his shit, and thought he could do it at that level ?!
    I mean Graham could still be recording and playing like his hero the former X WINO!
    WELL, this is when drug use then death influences the masses!
    Lament on a pouring rainy , Pa Saturday. Night...
    Graham maybe you get a do-over on another planet in dire need of country rock! 38:15 39:09 40:32

    This is the April 6th show. AUM opened, Flying Burrito Brothers had the middle slot, and the Grateful Dead headlined.
    setlist is:
    Close Up the Honk Tonks (Buck Owens)
    The Dark End of the Street (James Carr)
    If You Can't Undo the Right, Undo the Wrong (Willie Nelson)
    Somebody's Back In Town (Wilburn Bothers)
    She Once Lived Here (George Jones)
    Sweet Mental Revenge (Waylon Jennings)
    We Gotta Get Ourselves Together (Delaney & Bonnie)
    Lucille (Little Richard)
    Sin City
    You Win Again (Hank Williams)
    Hot Burrito #1
    Hot Burrito #2
    You're Still on my Mind (George Jones)
    The Train Song
    Jesus Move Me on Down the Line
    Long Black Limousine (Elvis Presley)
    Sweet Dream Baby (Roy Orbison)
    Do Right Woman (Dan Penn)
    Six Days on the Road (Dave Dudley)
    This was an FM broadcast. The Dead's closing set from the same night is amazing too, and highly regarded among Deadheads.
    They played past closing time and the club turned off the power during Viola Lee Blues.
    Flying Burrito Brothers were little known at the time. It's great to hear a high quality recording of the band during this era.
    Gram Parsons left the band (or was fired by Chris Hillman) a year later.

      It's his awkward timing along with his sense of humor - like he knows it's basically country & Western but with acid. Gram's mellifluous vocals are almost pleading "Listen to me!" This charismatic fella from Waycross has my heart - or what's left over from my deep dedication to the truth-telling songwriter who crawled outta Dub's in Gainesville and conquered the world! RIP TEP & GP aka ICC III.
