5.0 out of 5 stars Best Live New Riders...., November 7, 2004

By

This review is from: Home Home on the Road/Brujo (Audio CD)

In the early 70's, two of the best live LP's were Commander Cody's "Live From Deep In the Heart of Texas" and the New Riders' "Home, Home On the Road." While the Cody LP has been on CD for years, it is only recently that the New Riders LP was converted to CD. A few years ago while waiting for him to perform, I had a conversation with Buddy Cage, steel player for the New Riders, and I asked him why "Home, Home On the Road" had never been converted to CD. He said he was surpirsed himself, especially since the LP's producer Jerry Garcia had spent countless hours going through nine months of live tapes from a New Riders tour. He told me Jerry had picked the absolute best recordings from that tour.

So if you like the New Riders, get this CD. Don't waste your money on the other live New Riders CD's. This one is by far the best. The Brujo section is from a studio album that is fair, but the live section is more than worth the price of the collection. It's in the same category as Commander Cody's live recordings. You'll see why these two bands had some of the best live shows going in the 70's.

I agree with the previous review, 100%.

I'm a huge New Riders fan...as well as Commander Cody & his LPA. Both are great. But, New Riders of the Purple Sage...are my FAVORITE country rock band. Always will be!

Other great/favorite Country Rock bands are:

Poco, Pure Prarie League, Byrds, et al.

Anyway, "Home, Home on the Road," is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend it! I've been waiting for this album, to become available on CD...for many years. I bought it, as soon as it became available. Brujo, is also a great album.

Buy it...you'll be glad you did!

This is a great package deal. I bought it for Home On The Road because it is a great live album by NRPS, and Brujo is a great album as well. Good stuff by a great band.
