IT'S A GREAT CD TO HAVE FOR SUCH A LEGENDARY MUSICIAN LIKE GRAM.YES, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ONE.
I think that if you are a Gram Parson fan then this is worth the price of the CD. It is not bad considering the year that it was recorded. I bought the CD because this was the last live recording by Gram before he died so it is now part of my Gram Parson collection.
Such a short life for Gram but so much great music. This live album capturing a Long Island NY radio broadcast is another reminder of how strong his legacy is.
This CD is pretty good and its a nice introduction to Gram Parsons live. Nice to have if youre a die-hard Gram fan without this in your collection. Of course- it includes Emmylou Harris and it gives you the feeling like youre peeking into his world. Nice to have if youre curious about his live stuff. For the BEST compilation of Gram Parsons work check out " Sacred Hearts and Fallen angels- the Gram Parsons Anthology". God Bless you Gram.
This is a document of a working band on the road tearing it up just the genre demands. Textbook country rock.
Some of the reviews have mildly complained about quality and lack of perfection. Essential CD.
I love the solos on "6 Day On The Road". As one who cut his teeth on country in rough and tumble honky tonk bars I must say these "flaws" make it more accessible to my ear, more authentic.
This cd is crakling with energy. This aint no watered down slickly produced Eagles or latter day Emmilou.
Look elsewhere for perfection look here to ROCK.W.
