  • "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.
  • Unbelievably addictive, I remember this song and times in High School. Miss this most impressive classic sound with Buddy Cage on pedal steel. 🤠👊
  • 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. 🌹
  • 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!

    buddy Cage is all the rage on the pedal steel ! this band was out of sight !

    I loved this song and loved this album; I always wished NRPS would have made it bigger; they blew the doors off country rock!
  • I miss the 70s, college is where I learned about this awesome band. Hello to any Thiel College students of the 70s.
  • The work he's doing on that steel pedal is just amazing! Now those were the good old days!

    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.

    This is great for those of us who never saw them play. Great music. Great musicians. Bet their shows were cool casual. 😎 🚬

    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.❤❤❤❤

    This is beyond classic. Remember the album cover. Just to add, love the country music spawned from the psychedelic San Francisco scene.

    Back in 1969 it was the strongest weed I ever smoked. And it still holds the record.
  • @lightmagnet1961
    Two bong hits of red and me and friends got lost downtown. Great stuff

    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.
  • I played in a band that did many NRPS songs. It was a blast. Panama Red was a visitor on many occasions! 😂
