Not only is the only live version of Gram singing "Wild Horses" I assume is in existence, this boot also totally changes my mind about the Burrito Deluxe album. Lazy Days, Image of Me, High Fashion Queen, Cody Cody, and Horses all sound fantastic here, with killer vocals and Sneaky Pete coming through much better than on the studio versions. Just imagine how much deeper their legacy could have become if they had made it to Album #3, added another slate of great songs, and kept honing their chops on the road.
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised not only that they sounded this good at the "beginning of the end" as far as Gram goes, but that they worked up so many new songs. I got the impression they'd fall back on country standards, but they were definitely out there supporting Burrito Deluxe. So cool.
This is one of the best live recordings i've heard of the Burritos. So often they disappointed on stage but really together on this , thanks for posting

Love the band but, BUT greatest. lol, Even Chris Hillman said they were the laziest band. Listen to the slop from some of their live shows. That being said I sure wish I was at this show... lol
Holymotherogod this version of One Hundred Years From Now is STUNNING! I heard the Burritos were very ropey live. Well boy they're on FIRE 🔥 here (which I suspect has a lot to do with Bernie Leadon joining and Hillman moving to bass to cover for Etheridge's departure).
This is so great! I wonder why in the picture they don't show Bernie Leadon. Instead there is a shot of Chris Etheridge on top far left. And lower left isn't Bernie either, oh well. Gram is sounding on top of his game.
I played hooky from high school to go see them on this tour on 21 May at Queens College, NYC where they played a small amphitheater as part of the free hour on campus.
The Gilded Palace of Sin album is a classic. The production on the album is really good . Back in the day , I avoided live albums but they progressively improved.
I have all of Gram Parsons solo efforts and the sweetheart of the rodeo. Don't have anything from international submarine band yet.my favorites are the flying burrito Brothers with Gram and without
What a gem. Thanks for posting. Played guitar in a band my late teens. Rediscovering all this great music. FBB great to hear these guys together before GP left the group . I saw an interview with Chris H. He said he fired GP. Work ethic issues. Thank you for recording the magic of the FFB while GP was still with them. 🎸
@@markmcintosh1832 I know. I was a big fan of theirs back in the day. I was just looking thru the music being released for Record Store Day and they are releasing a live concert in Amsterdam for the occasion. It's titled, The Blugrass Special Live in Amsterdam from 1972. That started me looking thru youtube and listening to their music. I am making a list of lp's to buy that day.
This is incredible! The sound quality is fantastic. Where did you get this? All I ever heard were how terrible they sounded live, but they are fantastic on this recording! Thank you so much for posting!

The tension was extreme when I saw them the previous weekend at the Electric Circus in Toronto. I had struck up a nice consersation with Gram between sets, but was rudely interrupted by Hillman bursting into the lobby, chewing Gram a new asshole, accusing him of changing tempo and maybe even key during the intro for one of the songs in the first set. I don't think the audience had even noticed. I hadn't -- but Hillman was really pissed. If I remember correctly, Hillman said Gram had shifted from Juanita into Sin City. In the biographies I've read about this same thing happening elsewhere, but I was eyewitness to it on that day. So sad that this iconic group of players couldn't have hung together a little longer.
Sounds like Hillman should have learned the key change in Lodi. The Gram stuff sounds great, but Lodi shows the band’s unprepared arrangement, Hillman included
(posted by Jerry) According to the book, 'HOT BURRITOS' written by John Einarson with Chris Hillman, Gram was fired on June 30, 1970 during a performance at the Brass Ring Club in Los Angeles.
Writers of songs can capture the feel better than derivatives can Keith can sing Wild Horses cuz he learned from GP, but Gram owned it Mick kinda sang it but he didn’t know what it was about. He always sounds a little foolish, overplaying his misinterpretation
Gram version of Wild Horses and Honky Tonk Women are better than the Stones Sorry Mick Yours is Pat Bones version of Ain’t that a shame vs Fats Domino I love the stones but never was convinced on the authenticity of their sound when they went country. It’s almost like a parody . We’re with Gram it’s the real deal .
Graham was a great country blues singer. Playing live, lots of things on stage could cause you to lose pitch - heck a lot easier to make it in the studio - these days lots of folks is using pitch correction - even live. If you listen to bootleg concert tapes of even major bands - well, the Eagles kinda set the high water mark on live performance. I actually like the steel guitar work and some of the other fill licks compared to the album cuts. This sounds like a mix of direct outs - not much room in the mix. I love the energy of these tracks - it fun to listen to them perform live - wish I coulda been there.
I dont think monitors were as common or as advanced as they became so it was probably tough to hear yourself properly. I personally can sing better with just me and an acoustic but a band throws my vocals off always trying to sing louder.
@@mrjasondylan That’s a really good point. I’m sure that the monitors were either very poor or non-existent at that time, which would have made singing really tough. I saw a lot of bands at the Palomino during the ‘80s (including the re-formed FBB), and the live sound definitely got a lot better. It’s too bad GP didn’t make it that far, as his performances would have been phenomenal.
@@robertc5387 Yes he had plenty of natural born talent not many could have sang Love hurts the way he did with Emmylou also grevious angel sounds easy till you sing it and realise the vocals are up and down all over the place , most songs vocals I can learn in no time but this song takes practice. He had a good voice Gram but some live recording don't sound great, let's not forget he was using heavy back then . Even the Beatles had problems live but not through lack of talent.
Yeah....instead it became a Timeless Rock Classic on possibly the Greatest Rock Album ever released. What a shame. By the way Gram didn't write it but was given an advanced copy to get pedal steel put on it. The Stones were wanted for tax evasion, on the run and couldn't bring any recordings they made in America back to England. They entrusted it to him and he released a version without their proper consent. Love the man's music but that's the real story.
@@myradioon GP got permission from Mick and Keith to record the song. Linda Rondstat corroborates this detail. I think GP had a large contribution lyric wise. Chris Jagger (Mick’s brother) has been quoted to say “WH is actually a GP composition. Not that he ever got anything for it”
@@johnloftus6043 Its probably a bit of both. He was entrusted with getting Al Perkins the steel player who would eventually play on Exile on Main Street's 'Torn and Frayed' (recorded in France because they were tax exiles), to overdub in L.A.. The Stones took awhile to put WH out due to said legal problems and therefore let Gram release his version as the song was on the shelf. I think this was one of the songs written mostly during the studio session according to Jim Dickinson who played piano on it during recording at Muscle Shoals. There are other tall tales of Gram playing piano on the recording but these are false. They were hanging w the Buritto Bros. just before at Altamont and the song may have Grams initial influence and or input.
Personally, I don’t think it could have been any better than the two versions recorded by the Stones and the FBB - I wouldn’t change a thing about either of them. it wouldn’t have made for a great straight-ahead country song as the lyrics are too obtuse.
I attended this concert and to be honest I thought the location was the old Middle School/Junior High Auditorium near downtown, but looking online "The Winonan", which was the Winona State College newspaper at the time lists the event at the college....... confused 🤔
Cecil Connor was a spoiled rich kid, pathological self-aggrandizing liar, and irresponsible addict who took advantage and betrayed the trust of McGuinn, Hillman, the International Submarine Band, and the original Flying Burrito Brothers, whose name he stole. He wasn't fit to polish Chris Hillman's shoes. If you enjoy his music, fine.
Gram was a complicated, brilliant man. Was his behaviour perfect; obviously not. Sneaky Pete called him a little understood southern wonder and a genius. Also a true and generous friend, so slamming him as a monster is inaccurate, Mr. Campbell. More to the point, his music is still remarkably current and appreciated. His fans truly love him.
@@THEScottCampbell"Pathological self-aggrandizing liar?" Pretty strong words, Scott. You must have known him very well to make that diagnisis. Care to elaborate? And from what institution did you receive your degree in Psychiatry?
@@THEScottCampbell Gram Parsons did not steal the name 'The Flying Burrito Brothers'. He, along with Chris Hillman, were founding members of the Flying Burrito Brothers. The original band never recorded anything. The band headed East and gave Gram Parsons the name. He did not steal the name.
I found this bit of trivia interesting….Jimmi Seiter, road manager of the Flying Burrito Brothers for most of 1969 when they toured with the Dead, noted in his memoir, “Jerry Garcia’s intense focus on Sneaky Pete's pedal steel playing and, the remarkable fact that on at least one night, Garcia played a pedal steel behind the stage in an attempt to see if he could keep up with Sneaky Pete. In this context, the fact that Garcia bought a pedal steel guitar the next week hardly seems like a surprise.”
yeah, I recall Garcia trying his hand at pedal steel back in the day. He described is as a bit like using a sewing machine. He felt he could just sit there and play it all night. Keeping up with Sneaky Pete was another matter. He was not merely a brilliant steel guitar player. I believe he was also involved in doing audio FX for film and TV., and demonstrating that C&W wasn't the only thing you could do on steel guitar.
@@dennismccunney4462 Jerry played steel on the 1st New Riders album, and also on Deja Vu - Teach your Children... but by now, you probably already know that.
@@dennismccunney4462 Sneaky Pete worked in visual effects as well. Worked with Art Clokey of Gumby fame, even wrote a theme song for the show. I don't know which music from the show he did but I would love to find out. I suspect it is the music during the credits. As a kid I always had the feeling "This song is way too complex for a kids show"
Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman were great but the real soul of the band was the Steel Guitar of Sneaky Pete Kleinow, his playing was innovative, not always understood in those times, specially the fuzz tone he used in their first Lp. Along with Rusty Young of Poco were the best Steel Guitar players of the Country Rock era
if memory serves, Pete did other things as well, including audio FX for film and TV. He was a superb steel guitar player, but did not see the instrument as something _only_ useful in C&W music. His use of fuzz is an example. Guitars do it. Why shouldn't a steel guitar do it? No reason at all.
@@commontater8630 Who’s Gene Parsons?!? 😵💫 In all seriousness though, do you know something I’m unaware of, or is this a Gram Parsons/Gene Clark mix-up….or hybrid??!! 😂
@@commontater8630 Oops! 😬 My bad…. He is of course an actual person and a drummer/musician in his own right - (just googled it) - only wish I’d done so BEFORE posting….what a tit I am 🤦🏼♀️!!
@@rubennett6478 Don't trouble yourself, always something new to learn. I live in the same part of the world (Northern CA) as Gene, and long ago I learned of him becoming a member of the revived FBB when I went with a friend to visit him, and he played us their just-recorded cover of Why Baby Why (for the Flying Again album), of which he was justly proud. He is also the co-inventor and producer of the Parsons/White Stringbender.
Sneaky Pete Kleinow was the best, most people and other musicians did not catch on, Pete had attached a fuzz box on his steel guitar on previous recordings. Check out Christine's tune. Mystical, magical, magnificent.
Everybody’s crying wild horses but how about that Lodi cover !! Had no idea they played Creedence!
I was there.Awesome show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit, I never knew they covered Lodi by Creedence. My mind is blown
I believe it's on the Sleepless Nights album (released 1976) with Gram singing lead.
This is one hell of an historical document of a great band at a great time in the history of rock n roll. Takes me on one beautiful trip.

The self-titled album #3 was released in 1971 😂

Album number 3 was very polished. I was never a huge Rick Roberts fan, but he had a nice voice.

The live version of "Wild Horses" on this video is SO MUCH better than what they released on Burrito Deluxe LP.

And both are far better than the Rolling Stones original.

if memory serves, Pete did other things as well, including audio FX for film and TV. He was a superb steel guitar player, but did not see the instrument as something _only_ useful in C&W music. His use of fuzz is an example. Guitars do it. Why shouldn't a steel guitar do it? No reason at all.
First time hearing this, interesting to hear them cover CCR....did Fogerty and Gram ever meet each other?
Must be Bernie singing this one
@@troymcclure4971 l think so.
Not that I know of. Read at least 8 books about Gram.

Is there a way to get this on CD or MP3 by chance? Only live version of Wild Horses I’ve ever heard from them and it’s spectacular.
You can download
They got a bum rap as a bad live act. I think they were great. Gram sounds great here
read hillmans book
They mention something about this being recorded for a possible live album.Anyone know about this ?
"LAST OF THE RED HOT BURRITOS" was a live album and their final LP. It received rave reviews upon release.
@@THEScottCampbell That album wasn't this recording though.

Chris was always the consummate pro. Sorry none of that rubbed off on his troubled bandmate.😢
Bernie Leadon was in the band not Ethridge
Chris Ethridge was in the band when they did The Gilded Palace of Sin.
@@tomasranta6154 And later on also, with Gene Parsons and Joel Scott Hill.
@@commontater8630 Who’s Gene Parsons?!? 😵💫 In all seriousness though, do you know something I’m unaware of, or is this a Gram Parsons/Gene Clark mix-up….or hybrid??!! 😂
@@commontater8630 Oops! 😬 My bad….
He is of course an actual person and a drummer/musician in his own right - (just googled it) - only wish I’d done so BEFORE posting….what a tit I am 🤦🏼♀️!!
@@rubennett6478 Don't trouble yourself, always something new to learn. I live in the same part of the world (Northern CA) as Gene, and long ago I learned of him becoming a member of the revived FBB when I went with a friend to visit him, and he played us their just-recorded cover of Why Baby Why (for the Flying Again album), of which he was justly proud. He is also the co-inventor and producer of the Parsons/White Stringbender.

I wonder where in Winona this was. I know for a fact that they played at a high school in SoCal fall of that year
This concert was at the mens gym at Winona State College.I was there!!!
is this available to buy? CD? anything?
Was Pete the steel player here? Some nice playing on "100 Years From Now."
Yes....fairly sure he is
Gram Parsons rhythm guitar, Chris Hillman bass, Bernie Leaden lead guitar, Sneaky Pete Kleinow Steel, Michael Clark drums
Thanks for the reply James l knew he was greetings from Victoria Australia
Sneaky Pete Kleinow was the best, most people and other musicians did not catch on, Pete had attached a fuzz box on his steel guitar on previous recordings.
Check out Christine's tune.
Mystical, magical, magnificent.
@@TheMuudcat Bernie Leadon sounds awesome
this picture doesn't match the line up as described as that is chris ethridge not bernie leadon .. but still a great show ....
Before the Marshal Tucker Band The Outlaws ZZ Top etc therewas THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS. QUOTE THE RAYMOND EVERMORE!
John Streater intro MC????
that sounds like chris etheridge on bass
