Gram Parsons & The Fallen Angels - Liberty Hall, Houston, Texas, February 24, 1973

Over on Aquarium Drunkard, I wrote up The Last Roundup, a great new dig into the Gram Parsons live archive, capturing a soaring 1973 gig in Philadelphia. Here, we've got a rare video of Gram, Emmylou and the Fallen Angels from a few weeks prior — pro-shot and very lively, but murky as can be. Squint and you'll be able to see some real sparks fly, though.

This Liberty Hall gig is historic! Why? Well, as Gram mentions towards the end, pedal steel maestro Ben Keith is in the audience — he had just backed Neil Young at the Sam Houston Coliseum during the infamous Time Fades Away tour.

What Gram doesn't mention is that Neil and his-then-opening-act Linda Ronstadt were there as well, and the pair would clamber onstage during the encore for a few tunes. Sadly, there's no video of that ... but I believe this occasion marks the first time that Neil and Linda encountered the force of nature known as Emmylou Harris. I think it's safe to say they both fell in love.

Linda says: When I met her, I thought, "I would give anything to be able to sing with Emmylou Harris. I wish we could become the Everly Sisters." Well, she had a singing partner, Gram, and I thought it was a wonderful combination. I remember telling my boyfriend at the time, who was Albert Brooks, that Emmy could sing higher and lower, and louder and softer, and she could phrase a lot better, than I could. She really had country-rock nailed. Country-rock had been my little niche, but I'd been getting pushed very hard to move it more into rock 'n' roll. And I said, "She just does this so well, I think I'll stop fighting this." Because she just does it better than anybody.

Post-Byrds

Folyamatban lévő projekt, még közel sem hallottam az összes Byrds-tag összes Byrds utáni lemezét, de talán a legjobbakat már igen. (Szóló mellett, duó és zenekari lemezek is értek, a pre-Byrds dolgok viszont nem.) 

1. Gene Clark: No Other (1974) 2. The Flying Burrito Brothers: Gilded Palace Of Sin (1969) 3. Gram Parsons: Grevious Angel (1974) 4. Gene Clark: Roadmaster (1973) 5. David Crosby: If I Could Remember My Name (1971) 6. Gene Clark: White Light (1971) 7. Gram Parsons: GP (1973) 8. Gene Clark with The Gosdin Brothers: S/T (1967) 9. Dillard & Clark: The Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark (1968) 10.  The Flying Burrito Brothers: The Flying Burrito Bros (1971) 11.  Roger McGuinn: Back From Rio (1991) 12.  Roger McGuinn: Cardiff Rose (1976) 13.  Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Deja Vu (1970) 14.  Crosby, Stills & Nash: S/T (1969) 15.  Chris Hillman: Morning Sky (1982) 16.  Gram Parsons And The Fallen Angels: Live 1973 (1982) 17.  Stephen Stills/Manassas: S/T (1972) 18.  Graham Nash & David Crosby: S/T (1972) 19.  Gene Clark: Two Sides To Every Story (1977) 20.  Graham Nash & David Crosby: Wind On The Water (1975) 21.  Gene Clark & Carla Olson: So Rebellious a Lover (1987) 22.  Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen: Bakersfield Bound (1996) 23.  The Flying Burrito Brothers: Burrito Deluxe (1970) 24.  Gram Parsons / The Flying Burrito Brothers: Sleepless Nights (1976) 25.  Dillard & Clark: Through The Morning, Through The Night (1969) 26.  McGuinn, Clark & Hillman: S/T (1979) 27.  Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: 4 Way Street (1971) 28.  Roger McGuinn: S/T (1973) 29.  Gene Parsons: Kindling (1973) 30.  Chris Hillmann: Slippin’ Away (1976)

Gene Clark a legjobb, nálam nem kérdés, Gram Parsons meg a majdnem olyan jó. Roger McGuinn mostanra szimpatikus lett, régen nem feltétlenül volt, David Crosby meg sosem volt az. Chris Hillman egységes életművel rendelkezik, dolgos fickó, nem rossz lemezekkel. A többi későbbi tag közül Gene Parsons híresebb lemezét hallottam, az sem rossz. Clarence White Byrds előtti zenekara, a Kentucky Colonels pedig nagyon jó bluegrass/Appalachian folk.

A No Other... olyan meg nincs még egy.

A kérdés, hogy ez az erősebb sor, vagy egy hasonló post-Beatles lenne az. Más nem nagyon van versenyben, esetleg Velvet Underground, de az egy(két)síkú - vagy az N.W.A, még inkább a Wu-Tang. Fleetwood Mac? The Beach Boys? Genesis?
