unique sounding band and period in music, not quite country not quite folk not quite rock, that's why I love it!

[countingmx]

Big Nods to awesome Emmylou. Appalachia forever!

[jojoheartspaypay]

I gotta say this- Gram was just too good to grow old. I mean this in a good way..He was Gods own singer T-T

[TheMichaelJB]

Steve Earle was in the audience at this Houston concert event from 1973.

Keith Richards autobiography says that Gram did have a big part on the country music influences on the Stones music, like Wild Horses, Sweet Virginia, etc.

[0209KMK58]

From Keith Richard

[jojoheartspaypay]

i'd like to think, for a moment..what if Gram joined the Rolling Stones? How great would've that been? If Mick wasnt a simpering ,jealous pansy, The Stones would've been countrified for a at least a good 2-years, before Keith and Gram cancel each other out..lol, just a thought..

[adrock1011]

i had the pleasure of getting to see emmylou harris about 3 years ago in raleigh NC... i was SHOCKED at how great she STILL sounds... amazing talent... maybe the best every female country singer (at least pure voice-wise)

[mimesis6mime]

Just read Keith Richards biography "Life". He had nothing but great praise for Parsons, wrote songs with him and planned an album with him during some of the thickest days for the Stones. Keith said Parsons was one of the greatest musicians he ever heard and that Parsons absolutely lived for music. To hang out with him was to play music.

For some unconscious reason last week I found myself wanting to listen to nothing but GP and Grievous Angel. So I did that for 3 or 4 days. Then I happened to Google Gram to check something and in the process saw that Sat., Nov. 5 was his birthday - he would have been 65. Happy Birthday Gram - hope you're looking down from, as Emmylou sings, " your place among the stars." Thanks for your short time with us and what you gave us. What could have been.....

[ClevelandHost]

If you ever get near Cleveland, OH on the 2nd Thursday of any month, Brent Kirby leads his all-star Graham Parsons' tribute act NEW SOFT SHOE onto the stage of the Happy Dog at W. 58th St. & Detroit Ave. on the west side...

not to be missed.....

[georgebur]

She sounds better with Barry Tashian (of her Hot Band) on this one. But this is where it was invented, all power to them.

[biotonk]

Lovely !

[meownowcat]

I would love to see all the videos from that concert!

[msargyle1]

Brilliant clip, really good vibe. Shame it's so dark but i'm sure gram and co played some dark places in their time.

[Ebeneezerable]

Damn can't see Emmy. Bet she looks really hot. She still looks really hot.

[spotleoruby]

See you are a plastic country fan with no knowledge of country . mr renger.

[RedOctoberFly]

@spotleoruby LETS HOPE MR RENGER29 DEGRADES FASTER THAN PLASTIC

[renger29]

This is the biggest shit I've ever heard !!!!

[Emmysfan]

@renger29

Your comment says tons about you but nothing about the music. Go listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks or something else your speed.

[Emmysfan]

@renger29

I take it you're an expert on shit? Go away until you get your ears cleaned out.

[poppapieper]

@renger29

Grammy wins:

Emmylou - 12

renger29 - 0

One of these 2 has stones for ears!

[box1072]

Loved this song the second I heard it back in '07.

[markmcnulty]

Like, like and like again!!!!!!

[annied0901]

It's really sad there's so little footage of Gram.. thank you, thank you!

[spectra707]

spectacular & genuine !

[tenaciousgu3]

Thanks again for posting this wonderful gem. And may I give a shout out to all who played the Gram Parsons tributes at the High Desert Playhouse in Joshua Tree, California. I was in a duo called Virgil Caine who played the open stage in 1996 during the day and the organizers like us so much that we were invited to come back and perform in the evening show. Also played the following year. If you want to share a memory of Gram Fest send an email to bernie.king@hotmail.com. Peace.

[goldadair]

The early genius of this black and white video captures the past so perfectly

If you were there you know what I'm talking bout

Oliver Stone should do the biographical film in black and white It would put gram parsons higher on the map of greatness

[verbaud]

Amazing video. When I returned from SF to B'more in '73, my friend Kay B. said you should go see my friend Emmylou. She plays in bars around Va. & DC. Cpl years later her 1st album came out.

[austintxnative]

Excellent!

[CathedralOfGhosts]

Drums sound particularly great here.

[jojojosmart]

@CathedralOfGhosts --- I'm pretty sure it's N.D. Smart II playing drums here.

[meeshajunk45]

this is why I love youtube. An actual video of gram and emmylou. Christ I could die about now and it would be alright

[TheFugue0]

Truly amazing.

[adandominguez]

Fantastic performance.

[jamilmatheus]

I'm hooked to Gram & Emmylou,  and the interesting thing is that I've never liked much of country music before... " Gram Theft Parsons"

[ubbno1]

I always loved this version of the song, and 20 years later I get to not only hear it, but see Gram and Emmy Lou. Thanks!

[SydbarF]

thank you ooooohhhh my for this treat....Gram was one of the best songwriters ever to grace music

[BaltimoreKBs]

@SydbarF That may be but he didn't write this song. Written by Tompall Glaser and Harlan Howard. First recorded in 1966 (?) by Bobby Bare.

[SydbarF]

@BaltimoreKBs  thanks for the info.....I am an encyclopida of useless music knowledge...but I dont know everything....thanks for the info

[bluesmavin]

Was this recorded at Liberty hall, Houston, TX?

[beauhalo]

[hushketty]

gram is apple pink and cherry blossom white,beautiful,i love to listen to him talk just about as much as i love to hear him sing,he will always be irreplaceable, because he was different in beautiful ways on all kinds of levels,

[1954telecaster]

@hushketty - what in the fuck are you talking about?!?

[hushketty]

@1954telecaster a little to much backwoods talk for you i reckin,,it means i really like him and i,m sorry hes gone, oh, the music he could of went on to make,hope that clears things up for you,hehehe

[1954telecaster]

@hushketty - yes, thank you! shouldve just said so the first time, i apologize.

[lifenetter]

Priceless!

[gracom1977]

awesome post! doesnt get any better than this

[mgeracioti]

Love it. Emmylou, a neighbor, and Gram an idol.

The Jayhawks opened a local (Nashville) show with this tune about 15 years ago. I think about it every night.

[yippierb]
