Dead Flowers - New Riders Of The Purple Sage

[twangville]

as good as the fbb's Wild Horses or the Byrds Wasn't born to follow and Gene Clark's tried so hard ; and in a misty morning

[camusmuse]

Still like TVZ;s version better...simply because I feel it should be a solo song and not so nearly

upbeat".... Question though......is Garcia playing on this version? Does anyone know if he ever did....

[leahywj]

@camusmuse Pretty sure it's Buddy Cage playing pedal steel on this - not Jerry.

[devlcat24]

love this version....

[wingman572]

thank you david nelson

[karlmoles65]

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

[GoldenSlumbers04]

love the stones version and this version. but you people HAVE to search redwalls dead flowers on youtube and watch that one.

[john022560]

@GoldenSlumbers04 just did. Impressed.

[mrclarkful]

Good Townes cover but still not the same great music!

[pokey6749]

my all time favorite song by NRPS. great memories of high school in the late seventies. this is the best version of this song.

[mrclarkful]

@pokey6749 You like this better then Townes van Zandt

[TheDeadhead56]

very nice cover. the stones should be proud of this cover

[deweywestdeerpa]

Stones are my favorite band bar none but this is my second favorite band and I think they do this song better than the stones did it. Two great bands from the good old days and one of the best songs ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tcoff85]

If only the riders could have had Mr. Richards joining on this one....Would that have been a hoot!

[TheObsession4]

I will always love this group.Are they still playing anywhere?

[MTLNCK52]

@TheObsession4 Don't know about that as John Dawson passed away either last year or the year before.

[Froggboots]

Love this band! And the offshoots from this band too!

[caseyjones67]

i feel like nrps should have written this song

[bigbastard1972]

These guy's were ment for this song~~this just sounds as good as it gets, love it, it definatly wipes the floor with the stones version :@))

[KTKTRock]

Agree, this is better than the Stone's original. Remember seeing this band in concert back in 1977; they were great.

[biggaspirit1]

So good!

[jabirujoe]

this is the best version of this song better than the stones themselves.....absolutely love this..........especially as it builds towards the end.....

[Cryome83]

@jabirujoe your so right this is so much better then when the stones did it!

[dlphcoracl]

Fabulous cover of the Stones classic. NROTPS along with Gram Parsons' 'Flying Burrito Brothers' were two of the most underappreciated and underrated groups of the early '70's.

[fuzz610]

sounds better this way freakin awesome!!!!!

[bugeyes455858]

New Riders do a great cover of this Stones classic, iy brinngs back some good memories every time I hear it. NRPS sure put out alot of fine music. Thanks for posting this tune.

[lasinlo]

Didn't know they covered this Stones song; thanks.
