The Flying Burrito Brothers - Lazy Day

Unfortunately Gram Parsons, who wrote and sang the song on Burrito Deluxe, had recently left (been thrown out of) the group. This is a nice version though. Song was originally recorded by Parsons during the Byrds Sweetheart of the Rodeo sessions but it did not make the album.

It's Bernie singing lead, with Chris doing harmony vocal.

@jokitosh you are correct!

@aarfeld according to Chris, his drinking and bad work habits did it.

Great song!!!

I believe this is from "Festival Express" (DVD) - a kinda Canadian Woodstock on the rails. Well worth a look, also has Janis, The Band, Grateful Dead, Buddy Guy........and more (1970).

What were the circumstances surrounding Gram Parsons's departure from the band. Did he leave or was he asked to leave--and why?

[axwell21]

This is good shit

Great song.....too bad Gram was fired before this performance.

[crumbleface]

was this before Bernie joined the eagles, or after he left?

@RUHOORUHOO: Yea, it's hard to beat Sneaky Pete. A great original, he pioneered playing steel through a Leslie speaker with a Fuzz Face. Not to mention all of the lovely traditional steel playing that he did.
