New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Thanksgiving In New York City (Live)

The New Riders of The Purple Sage were regarded as America's favourite psychedelic cowboy band in the early 1970's. What had started as a chance for the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia to learn pedal steel guitar as he accompanied singer John 'Marmaduke' Dawson and his unique songbook of classic Americana tunes, had become its own entity by 1972. This release captures the band at the late show from November 23rd, 1972, at the Academy of Music, Thanksgiving In New York City, featuring the band in the midst of an energetic and highly regarded tour.
