Various Artists – Country Rock Festival – Philadelphia 1973

Tower Theatre, Philadelphia – June 1973

"Warner Bros. Records" set up a mini-tour which was billed as a "country-rock festival" package. The all-day, all-night affair consisted of Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Gene Parsons, Clarence White, Roland White, Eric White Jr., James Burton, some members of Country Gazette, Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Chris Ethridge - all of whom had signed record contracts with "Warner Bros". There were two test shows on the East Coast in June 1973, which got fantastic critics. One in Annapolis, Maryland and then another in Philadelphia (this concert).

Warner Brothers intended to extend it to a world tour, but the project collapsed due to Gram Parsons’ and Clarence White’s deaths.

This was the last known public performance given by Gram Parsons.

Gram Parsons (guitar, vocals)
Clarence White (guitar, vocals)
Gene Parsons (drums, vocals)
Chris Ethridge (bass)
Sneaky Pete Kleinow (pedal steel guitar)
Emmylou Harris (guitar, vocals)
Roland White (guitar, mandolin, vocals)
Eric White Jr. (banjo, double bass, vocals)
Byron Berline (fiddle)
Alan Munde (banjo)
Roger Bush (bass)
James Burton (guitar)

Not all artists perform on all tracks.

Some sources say that the concert lasted approximately 3 hours! So this is just a 43 minutes excerpt, mostly focused on Gram Parsons.

Don’t expect excellent audio quality!

There is a poor quality silent film with excerpts of the concert. Here’s a clip made by Thomas Aubrunner with music from the concert added.

Many thanks for the Chicken Man posted earlier. It was _incredibly_ popular here in Australia - I recall hearing it on many radio stations from the late 1960s well into the '80s. Say the words "He's everywhere, he's everywhere!" to many people of a certain age, and they'll immediately get the reference. Several of Dick Orkin's other radio comedies were also broadcast here, including "The Stoned Ranger", "the Tooth Fairy" and "Amazon Ace". The last one seems to have pretty much vanished from the face of the Earth, so if anyone knows of a source of episodes.......

Hijos de la balsa - a tour for the history of Argentinian & uruguayan rock (1967 - now)

Part 2: 1970 - 1972

Those years you got a consolidation of the rock scene, with many bands getting great songs (some of them considered classics songs now) . The bluesy sound with hard edged rock sound got very good representatives in Manal, Pappo's Blues (check the great riffs of Norberto "Pappo" Napolitano) Vox Dei and Billy Bond y la Pesada del Rock and Roll (a super group consiting in a rotating team of many of the great players of the rock scene at the time) . After the disolution of Almendra, Luis Alberto Spinetta creates anothe great band , Pescado Rabioso, with the same geat surreal, poetic lyrics but with a hard edged sound. Other members of Almendra creat Aquelarre, who are much closer to the trippy rock of the time. The folk song scen got a duo of its own with Pedro y Pablo. In Uruguay, El Kinto and its sucessor , Totem, mixes prog jazz and candombe (local black music) in an amazing display of virtuosity (two names here: Hugo Fatorusso, a very virtuoso guitar player and Ruben Rada, conga player who is an institution in Uruguay). The divorce between hard edged rock and clean "beat" is widening but still not definitive cut (it shows in the lists). and in 1972, two guys barely outside high school, Charly Garcia & Nito Mestre, put together Sui Generis, the band who are the first real hit band of argenitnian rock, with a great balance on teenage love ballads, great lyrics and a sound who can go from the delicate to the powerful rock

RYP, I really don't think that it's "looking backwards" to object to a symbol of racial hatred, torture and murder being displayed on this page. Because that's what the Confederate flag stands for. I would hope that, if someone posted a Swastika flag, you wouldn't let it go as a case of not looking backwards.

Lee,
aaah, I said it wrong, it should read:

That's right, Peter H, you speak from my heart, at least as far as backward Americans are concerned, and unfortunately there are far too many of these fools!

Anonymous said...

Frank and Lee,
Your comments on the confederate flag, intentionally idiotic (and subtly racist) tag names, Covid vaccine disinformation, and the influence of America on global musical culture is spot on. And there is certainly a historical thread that runs through these comments. The anti-vaccine & anti-science disinformation campaign, and the white nationalist fascistic movement that has re-emerged in the US during the Trump era is emblematic of the worst of America's legacy. Among the best of America's legacy is its cultural contribution, which in large part is due to the contributions of African Americans. It is the history and legacy of the African American experience that the right wing in the US wishes to erase. The Confederate flag is as hateful a symbol to African Americans as Nazi symbols are to Jews. We should give no space to those who want to romanticize the confederate flag.

Gboard, what misinformation about the vaccine? some relatives died from getting that poison called vaccine

Why Bother? said...

A LOT more people died from NOT getting the Covid vaccine. Interestingly, statistics show that after the introduction of the vaccine, significantly more Republicans began dying from Covid than Democrats.

By Sept 2021, 92% of registered Democrats had been vaccinated compared to only 56% of Republicans (Gallop Poll).

The study found that death rates from Covid-19 were only slightly higher for Republicans than Democrats during the early days of the pandemic, before vaccines became available. But by the summer of 2021, a few months after vaccines were introduced, “the Republican excess death rate rose to nearly double that of Democrats, and this gap widened further in the winter of 2021.” The sudden increase in the gap between Republican and Democratic death rates “suggests that vaccine take-up likely played an important role,” the study found.

Not that facts are persuasive to people who don't believe in facts. But the above statistics represent Darwinism at it's best! So, not all bad news!

Here's the study from the National Bureau of Economic Research. However there are plenty of similar studies available for anyone with an open mind.
