The New Riders of The Purple Sage were regarded as America's favorite psychedelic cowboy band in the early 1970s. What had started as a chance for the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia to learn pedal steel guitar as he accompanied singer John "Marmaduke" Dawson and his unique songbook of classic Americana tunes, had become it's own entity by 1972. With the addition of Buddy Cage on pedal steel to replace Garcia, 1972 saw two studio releases in the forms of Powerglide and Gypsy Cowboy. Emerging from the shadow of the Grateful Dead after opening countless shows for them, not only where the New Riders becoming a bona fide live act to contend with, but their performances were earning them a loyal and rabid following on the East Coast, especially in the New York Tri-State area.

Captured at the late show from November 23, 1972, at the Academy of Music, Thanksgiving In New York City features the band in the midst of an energetic and highly regarded tour. Along with Dawson classics like "Henry, " "Portland Woman, " and "Last Lonely Eagle, " lead guitarist David Nelson and bassist Dave Torbert also bring some Bluegrass ("She's No Angel") and R&B ("I Don't Need No Doctor, " "Willie And The Hand Jive") to the mix. An evening with New Riders of the Purple Sage in downtown Manhattan offered music fans a musical panorama that continually upped the ante of the potential of country meets rock with a psychedelic twist.

This concert from 1972 began what would be an annual engagement over the Thanksgiving holiday in New York City for the following three years. It was a family vibe of a whole other nature when the New Riders came to town. Crank it up and enjoy the musical feast that is Thanksgiving In New York City!

New Riders Of The Purple Sage

Lonesome L.A. Cowboy

Nashville Session-Mann, Studiobetreiber und Produzent Norbert Putnam hatte eine lose Verbindung zu Columbia Records, die ihn mit Dan Fogelbergs erster Platte (siehe unseren vorherigen Band) und dann, bizarrerweise, mit NRPS zu tun hatte. Er ging in die Bay Area, um sie zu treffen, und es erwies sich als eine epische interkulturelle Kollision. Von einem Hippie mit einem VW-Bus abgeholt, wurde er in den Gemeinschaftsraum der Band gebracht. "Es war auf dem Hügel inmitten eines Weizenfeldes", sagte Putman später. "Die Frauen laufen im Vakuum herum und die Kinder laufen nackt herum, und hier bin ich, dieser saubere Typ aus Nashville." Marmaduke Dawson nahm Putnam und den Rest der Band mit zu einem gemeinsamen Treffen im Weizenfeld. "Der Weizen ist so hoch, dass ich nur die Köpfe der Leute sehen kann", sagte er. "Ich hatte diese Rede vorbereitet, wo ich ihnen sagen wollte, dass es nicht funktionieren würde." Ich hebe meine Hand, um eine Geste zu machen und ein Schmetterling landet darauf. Die Band sieht das. Sie starren ihn an. Niemand sagt ein Wort. Dann sagt Marmaduke:'Das ist ein Omen, Mann. Du bist unser Produzent. Du wurdest auserwählt." Ich denke mir: "Man muss die Karten spielen, die man bekommt." Putnam nannte es einen guten Take, wenn Spencer Dryden seine Drumsticks nicht fallen ließ, aber sie kamen nach vier Wochen mit NRPSs meistverkauftem Album'The Adventures Of Panama Red' aus der Record Plant im nahen Sausalito.

Abgesehen davon gab es eine weitere Verbindung nach Nashville in Peter Rowan. Ein ehemaliger Bill Monroe Sideman, Rowan war nach Westen gezogen, um sich mit Seatrain, Earth Opera und anderen Gruppen des Augenblicks zu beschäftigen. Er schrieb den Titelsong der LP sowie Lonesome L.A. Cowboy. Im Oktober'73 nahm Rowan diesen Song live auf, als er mit Old und in the Way an der Seite von Jerry Garcia, Vassar Clements, David Grisman und John Kahn war.
