Another vote for Poco’s “Deliverin†with Rusty Young. As far as country rock..... Poco’s sound was unique, and Rusty and the band’s live show were on fire.
Another second for Buddy Cage’s work.... truly awesome. _________________ MCI Arlington S-10 3+5, George L E-66, BJS & Emmons bars, Fender Princeton 65W, Fender Satellite SFX, custom FX rack, 1983 Dobro 60D, SX-8 lap steel, Martin D16GT, Ibanez AS73, 1978 Rickenbacker 4000 custom. |

There are some great choices here but come on. Buddy Emmons Live at the ISGA 1977 is the definitive live steel guitar album. |

Was Buddy on the Flying Burrito's '72 live album, "Last of the Red Hot Burritos" or was that Sneaky? |

Michael Nesmith with Red Rhodes - "Cosmic Partners - The McCabes Tapes"
Nice to hear Red playing these great songs, live, very clear in the mix. There's even a couple steel instrumentals on it. Very unique, creative player. |

The fact that the tape - from 1973 - was only recently uncovered is nothing short of a miracle. This is a seminar on how a pedal steel should support a signer-songwriter in a band setting. This is right up there with the Charley Pride Panther Hall album w/Lloyd. |

I got one!
Flying Burrito Brothers - Live In Tokyo
This performance not only features mucho glorious Sneaky Pete Steel playing on every song, it also features some of the best Country-Rock drumming I have ever heard.
It also has my favorite version of White Line Fever

This is great Eric... Somebody needs to compile a list of "LIVE Steel Albums". There are things on here that I forgotten about and other's I flat out didn't know.
But the one that really did know, was the Charlie Pride/Panther Hall album. I wore that thing out back when.
And remember NRPS with Buddy tearing it up, listening to it for the first time on 8-Track outside a buddy's house.

As far as I know, the only live steel guitar instrumental album is Buddy Emmons Live At the Convention (1977). I was there that year. No dubbing. Bucky Barret had to sit out after a couple of tries at The Great Stream while Bobby Caldwell nailed it. Larry London read drum charts while he played that particular song. Buddy was flawless on this double LP album. He played through a Session 400 and a Furman PQ-3. He used the PQ-3 to detail the lower mids. _________________ 1976 Birdseye U-12 MSA with Telonics 427 pickup, 1975 Birdseye U-12 MSA with Telonics X-12 pickup, Boss 59 Fender pedal for preamp, NDR-5 Atlantic Delay & Reverb, two Quilter 201 amps, 2- 12" Eminence EPS-12C speakers, ShoBud Pedal, 1949 Epiphone D-8.

One of my favourites is Ronnie Milsaps's first live album (from the mid-'70s, I believe).
Milsap is a great singer and here he runs through his regular stage-act. Highly featured throughout is the incomparable Dickie Overby, Yes, he plays the intros as he should and there's the expected level of musical discipline that's the hallmark of the band with a top-level artist, but there's also a lot of mischievous free-reined improv from Dickie that just makes me smile. He was on form that night! _________________ Roger Rettig - Emmons D10s, Quilter TT-12, B-bender Teles and old Martins.

Hank Devito on steel, Albert Lee, Rodney Crowell and the rest of the Hot Band backing Emmylou on almost all of the best cuts. Just missing Luxury Liner. Great selection of tunes with some very tasty steel work throughout! Good Saturday morning discovery! _________________ 1966 EMMONS S-10 Bolt On Push-Pull |

Totally agree! JD was like the Energizer Bunny on this one. He said some of the boys had gotten into some Turkey before the show and it sounds like JD is keeping them in tow! He's right on the money! _________________ Sho-Bud Pro II Custom, GFI Ultra SD-10, Fender Pro Amp, Fender Mustang II Amp, Morrell 8-string lap, Epiphone 6-string lap, Galveston reso, etc. |
