Nice find Brad!

The author mentions seeing Pete with the Burritos at Stanford's Frost Ampitheater in 1976 as the opener for The Band. I was at that one, I was 22 at the time. It was hotter than blazes that day and I remember getting a short cooling off period when one of the university's fire trucks drove along the front of the crowd and used the pumper to spray water out into the audience.

Guilded Palace Of Sin probably would have done a whole lot better in the charts, had they toured with the Dead. Thanks for the link!

Good stuff Brad. Probably but for those two, I wouldn't have taken up steel.

Pete Grant has Jerry's ZB. He's an excellent steel player, as well as banjo picker and goes way back with Jerry to their bluegrass roots (as mentioned in the Seiter article).

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed that article as well. Gave me much to reflect about. All things considered, Jerry was quite a remarkable musician. Cool

Good read. Seiter's books are a little weird - especially his constant hammering in that he was a "member of the Byrds" when he was the road manager allowed to bang a tambourine on stage. Some of the comments are also either off-base or based on misdirected assumptions, like one stating that Fender steels are "notorious for being subpar in quality" (which a large group of us would be happy to prove wrong).

But the historical portions are entertaining and mention facts that most people are probably unaware of. Nice discovery.

Give credit where due. Those Gene Clark tambourine parts are deceptively challenging... Laughing

I believe he sang also, if only on this number.

Last night I listened to Dire Wolf, a wonderful reminder of Jerry's lyrical, fun playing style.

Thank you, Brad. Reading that was terrific! Sneaky Pete Kleinow was awesome. Imagine this... hear those Sneaky licks, the curtain goes up, and there's Gumby playing steel.

Ok, Herb - you owe me *another* t-shirt due to nasally-ejected coffee stains!

Nope, that's Gene Parsons with McGuinn "harmonizing" (grin)

Great example of Clarence White's seriously twisted playing!

I hate it when threads like this pop up. After reading I remembered listening to NRPS when I joined the Army in '71, Flying Burrito Brothers, then POCO etc. More CDs to buy to fill in blanks in my collection Smile .

Ordered NRPS 1st LP on CD & FBB Gilded Palace of Sin. Man, this brings back lost memories! Good stuff!

How do they rate compared to the intricacy of Grateful Dead cowbell chops?

Those cowbell-beaters will send you into "Space" at least once per show!
