    What a treat! To see John Dawson (rhythm guitar and vocals), David Nelson (lead guitar and back vocals), Buddy Cage (pedal steel guitar), Dave Torbert (bass and back vocals) and Spencer Dryden (drums) live was enough to put their fans in country music heaven, but to see Jerry Garcia (Fender Telecaster) and Sandy Rothman (banjo) was positively blissful. And to have that song recorded live on videotape? Awesome. Kids, this is what real music is like. Taylor Swift is all well and good, but you have to venture beyond your musical comfort zone and check out what we listened to back in the day. You’ll feel a whole lot better. I swear I ain’t lying.

    I remember Jerry and Buddy on the stage at Kezar stadium 5/26/73. They were watching Ralph Mooney Waylon Jennings Pedal Steel player work his craft. I had the impression they were impressed by Ralph who was like 20 years older then them at the time.

    I was there. ! Buddy Cage was awesome that night. Still have a crush on that guy.
  • @nicholasvarchenko4163
    This is great simply because it includes footage of Garcia playing a Telecaster which is extremely rare to see.

    Do you happen to have the first time NRPS played public? When the show was billed as Jerry Garcia and they came on stage unannounced. This was at Long Shoremans Hall in SF. A Hells Angeles party Billed Janis Joplin and Jerry Garcia. Garcia came out and said this is going to blow everybody's mind. He sat down and played steel string guitar that nite.

    I seen the New Riders in the late 70's right outside of Pittsburgh. On Rt. 8 in Hampton Twp. At the then V.I.P Lounge I believe it was called. Man I miss those days and old country rock music. The New Riders sounded great as always. They were a great band.
