sweet memories of those wonderful NRPS shows, sunshiney days, country hippie music, a million smiles... hats off to nognu....

[@lisarct1012]

Felt Forum was a great venue! Plush seating, small theater (relatively speaking, especially as it was part of the Madison Square Garden complex). And WNEW was pretty much the go-to station in the area for 'album-centric rock' and often simulcast the Dead and others. What a grate time to own a reel-to-reel tape machine. Anywho, looking forward to this, someday I may find where those tapes got off to. :\

[@agnome1176]

O my Jerry!? @Lisa RCT !>Please go look > It would be worth the trouble now while the online transfer community is so strong. I am not that person but; Google ~> up-load live music; "Lossless" (Legs)?

[@jimeagan3057]

so true was lucky to see my 2nd dead show there the end of 71' when Buddy first took over for Jerry 12-5-71 sunday night also huge WNEW broadcast,,, another show we saw there back then was Van Morrison with the Persuasions opening

[@johnamaral1786]

Thanks for the visual of the house, Lisa. Hope you find those tapes in good shape, they could be gold. /:-)

[@lukefish7562]

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

Oh bien oui!

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

Hey Gnu I was at the next night Nassau Rambling Jack and NRPS opened for Jerry and the boys plus Donna I did not know this show existed thank you! And I loved NRPS ever since!

[@nognuisagoodgnu]

Glad you enjoyed 🙏

[@djsurf]

nguthelegend - thanks for this post - lov'in them NRPS -

[@rudyhenderson9387]

Nice to hear a live Whiskey then the Dead.Went to a good amount of Felt Forum shows

[@johnstallings4049]

WOW GNU! Been looking for a soundboard copy of this show since the 70's! I think it's their best show EVER! U made my holiday SO beautiful! Thanxx brutha! ❄️🌍❄️🌟🥀💕

[@bluesriot2]

love the nrps,saw them downtown one night bout a mile from the ff at the lone star, a club so small and narrow that every time marmaduke turned i had to duck under his guitar neck, good times oh my

[@jimeagan3057]

was also there loved that old Lone Star on those wintry nights

[@MarkMasters...]

This one is going to be 💣💥...Yeah Gnu!🙏🌊🕺

[@dawnoconnor6909]

Thanks gnu this rules🙌✌️⭐

[@Gratefulmal73]

Felt Forum was a great venue and had some memorable shows. NRPS also one of the greats. I got to see them what I call recently, with a meet and greet in NW corner of Ct. and Dave Nelson was like hanging out with a pal. Met Buddy too about a year before he passed. Through out the years Marmaduke came around to smaller clubs and hung out too. We all Loved these once we rocked with them.

[@davidmugglebee523]

Love how Keith colors this incredibly sweet sound 🎹 What a treat! My fave of all the bands and artists that have covered Long Black Veil 🖤

[@JerryGarciaPOBox]

Keith was unreal for a spell. Although many of my favorite JGB shows are from the 4 piece I love him with JGB. He & Donna were a good fit. He's a big part of what makes 72-74 Dead so special.

[@martinpickr9582]

What a treat

[@jimeagan3057]

my biggest regret back in the day was missing this one gotta be their all time best show sold out too fast saw the Deads thursday and monday nights Nassau Coliseum run before and after this

[@johnstallings4049]

I agree 100%! ❄️🌍❄️🌟🥀💕

wow, that was a kick-ass honky tonk woman!!! Johnny sounded like he was blowin a load in his california shorts!!!...far-out,man!!!!

[@tobypuente8841]

As a music lover, a deadhead, a jazz lover, bluegrass lover et al, I keep coming back to nrps. So lucky to hear them

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

A Great Capture

[@marcbernicker206]

What a great band and show! 3 awesome vocalists. Inspired if not created by Jerry Garcia

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

Buddy on pedal steel?

[@ChandraMalone-cy1tg]

My loves have remlim forever 😂

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Great show! 50 years FM stereo broadcast fidelity sounds better than anything on FM today. Oh hell who am I kidding, I think my Marantz stereo is 50 years old. lol I'm loving Buddy Cage's dry pedal steel panned to one side. My friend is learning steel, so he'll love it. Props to the good engineering, then and now. Thanks for the show gnu!

[@horseyhorselips3501]

I saw the NRPS and Grateful Dead 💀 March 31,1973 Buffalo NY War Memorial Auditorium great show 😎

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

Dancing with a reckless abandon NRPS and David Nelson Band. The latter was a stellar show at the Barrelhouse I two stepped with a like spirit for an entire set country swing dancing with a few close moments. End of the set my persperayion had soaked through her blouse in two most obvious spots the size of two softballs. Much to her husbands chagrin they left, she with a big smile, he with a frown, never to be seen again. Guess she didnt have an extra blouse...

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

True story what life brings "if you let it be..." to quote The HB's.

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

Last set at end lights came on a blazin one detail I forgot...

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

Ah such memories...

[@robertmurphy5518]

What a treasure , great sound , Thanks a bunch , N.R.P.S. & Friends spell PARTY !

[@rjwintl]

seen them in September 1975 in Syracuse, NY !!! … fantastic show !!!

[@direwolf6234]

spring break from college upstate .. somehow my girlfriend scored a ticket from her friends so it was my 'job' to listen in and tape on the good old reel to reel ... a special night with the dead 'sittin in' and those old timey tunes ... comin forth to carry us home ...

[@paulj0557tonehead]

1:21:50 *Whisky* Great tune, groove, playing.

[@irasparer6111]

miss them. Wou,d like if David Nelson was touring again.

[@tobypuente8841]

He did 3 shows on big island in spring, and 2 recently in Marin county

[@Paul-gm8rz]

Great,Really Good!

[@bigbossman7991]

Man this is good 😊

[@namcat53]

The New Riders are really good. I've often wondered if a great pedal steel guitarist had joined them how they'd sound.

[@robertbell4341]

Very funny

[@robertbell4341]

How is that the show unreal unreal felt forum was one of the best venues ever Great sound really comfortable

[@tobypuente8841]

Ya, I wonder... LOVE Buddy Cage

[@tobypuente8841]

Thank you NoGnu! Such a quality show and sound. Well done. After hearing a mediocre at best DeadCo final weekend in SF, I needed this
