"A little hardy hi-ho silver, the New Riders Of The Purple Sage" (Bill Graham intro)

01. Six Days On The Road
02. Whatcha Gonna Do?
03. Glendale Train
04. Brown Eyed Handsome Man
05. Fair Chance To Know

Total Time ::: 21.33

::: Quite fine, stereo, full-bodied AUD for its vintage. Check samples for adjudication or adulation.
::: Warts: Repaired dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few. Taper cut off deck between trax.
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: This is the Mk1 96kHz/24-bit version. The Mk2 44.10kHz/16-bit version is available elsewhere.
::: Almost certainly an incomplete recording of the NRPS set on this date.
::: 2 people list copies of this set at https://db.etreedb.org but for some reason it isn't commonly circulated.
::: Grateful Dead headlined this show & that recording (by the same taper) already circulates.
::: Marmaduke & David Nelson joined the Dead on the last 2 songs of their acoustic set, "Cold Jordan"&"Swing Low (Sweet Chariot)".
::: 2nd show of 3-nite Grateful Dead & NRPS Fillmore West run - August 17,18,19 (Mon/Tues/Weds).
::: Crappy poster scan at www.jerrygarcia.com/show/1970-08-18-fillmore-west-san-francisco-ca-usa
::: See these notes about the Dead recording for more lineage/source info https://db.etreedb.org/shn/142417
::: This is prior to the recording of the 1st NRPS album.
::: REQUEST: Looking for etree listing NRPS 1970-09-02 SF Matrix MSR>R>R>D>CDR. Nelson absent so Marmaduke&Jerry work hard & JG sings most backing vox. Can anyone help? If not, will upload my MSR>R>C>wav copy but it has some issues.

DimeTravel 453 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! Thanks to arfarf for doin' a little diggin'. ::: Corrections welcome ::: Great that after 47 years of listening to NRPS, I still ain't tired of these tunes. Some rippin' pedal steel from the man. Short & sweet & well worth hearing! Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
