I saw this band live back in the 80s, and they do sound exactly like their recordings when they perform in person. They've performed together like clockwork in various combinations for many years even before the DRB was formed. We should respect these great musicians.
@jdh501 Saw them too in the late 80's. Jorgenson had left at that point, but think the rest of the original members were still with them best I recall. As a musician of many years, have seen many shows. This was an awesome show! Respect is a good adjective. These guys are all A pickers.
This ain't pre-recorded.....we're talking about the best musicians in the business!! You can clearly see and hear the Pedersen's Flatt's G-run on the 0:08.
This isn't identical to the album, I have just listened to it and although its close there are quite a few subtle differences......or did you mean pre recorded on this stage for the show ?
JD defined his groups sound I think , the whole band are awesome but JD is more than awesome, and a sound to die for from that emmons guitar and talented hands.
I have to agree with SMR Hillman, without thinking, stops playin g to adjust his mic. You can see the realization on his face when he goes ...oh shit..and grabs his guitar
No, DRB never mimed or prerecorded anything. All top class/studio musicians! Don't forget Herb also played the akoustic. DRB was famous because the could copy the album sound to live occasions
@SumnerMurrayRedstone Thios is not over dubbed in any way. I recently saw the Desert Rose Band in person and believe me they are full capable of playing great at any time.
Hard to believe that a singing voice as fine as Chris Hillman's was hidden in the background when he was with The Byrds. Saw him live with Herb Pedersen two summers back at The Oregon Zoo Amphitheater and his voice hadn't aged a bit.
Great group and two words....Chris Hilllman!

Great performers.

When my dad died this song was the glue that kept me from going insane. I lost a very dear friend today & this song is for him.

Pre-recorded... very few of the steel guitar parts are like the album. Jay Dee is one of the greats. Love that old Emmons guitar!!!

These guys aren't lip-synching. I never saw anything but live performances on Ralph Emory's show. What's your beef with Chris Hillman?
