  • No doubt, the most under rated and mega talented country rock band that ever existed. Damn shame they were lightyears ahead of their time and never received the glory due to them. 👊
  • @rbdemp
    Spencer Dryden on drums, Buddy Cage on steel, Skip Battin on bass, David Nelson and Marmaduke! I saw this lineup with the Dead around this time, but I think Dave Torbert was still on bass at the time, and Garcia played steel.
  • John Dawson is the real talent in this band, no doubt. Where is he now in ‘24 ? Amazing Skip Battin went from the Byrds or was it the airplane along with Spencer the drummer from airplane to riders.. Makes sense to me… gliding on the astro plane ! Going where no music has gone before !

    The great Skip Battin on bass. What an immensely talented individual.
  • Reminds me of the best days Austin Texas ..crushing listening to NRPS
  • @rbdemp
    For the first St. Louis Fox show anyway, this was the lineup second time around except Battin.

    I always liked that song in their live sets, especially in 73 and 74. LA Cowboy is another one of their unsung heroes in their set around that time. I saw them in NYC at the Academy of Music on East 14th Street a few times, at college concerts a few times, in a huge Central Park concert. I recall Susan Collins singing back up that day and on studio recordings from that time. I knew her from the old neighborhood in Brooklyn.
