Description

Legendary guitarist Jerry Garcia (1942-1995) is best known for his leadership of the quintessential San Franciscan collective, The Grateful Dead. However, in the early 1970s he was concurrently a member of another Californian band, The New Riders of the Purple Sage. With them he played pedal steel guitar and sang backing vocals.

This show from which this broadcast was transmitted was performed just two months after the release of their debut album. The New Riders were playing to an ideal audience as the gig was as support to the Dead, who were amidst a series of concerts crisscrossing the USA. The fact that Jerry Garcia was there onstage, seated behind his pedal steel guitar, made extra sure the New Riders had everyones rapt attention.
