Feeling so much love here. I hope Graham is looking down and enjoying too.

I never get tired of listening to Gram Parsons, the Burritos Bros, and Emmylou Harris

Now 50 years after … everyone seems to have forgotten 😢I’m still a massive fan 🎉

[@margaretross9150]

I actually think he's better loved than ever. It's kind of an underground club with countless devoted members. I recently found four wonderful new articles about Gram in the LA Times, the New York Times (2), and the Harvard Magazine. Also a concert of his songs by Dutch musicians in Amsterdam. There's a new recording released by Amoeba of a road concert with the Fallen Angels. Gram's music is here to stay because he was so good. Too bad it didn't happen while he was still with us. Cosmic Cowboy! 🤠⭐

​@@margaretross9150hi, are you referring to the tribute Tim Knol organised in the Concertgebouw? Some songs are uploaded here. At least it was right after that evening.

@@user-hh3vd8th3y Yes, that's it. I've watched some of the clips.

Beautiful rendition of Hickory Wind. I think Gram Parsons was sublime.

[@billhunt4539]

What a tremendous show...and Raul Malo is way underrated as a vocalist.

It doesn’t get any better than this. I never get tired of this album or performance. My favorite.

This is marvellous! The musicians were so in tune With the gifts these songs offered. My favourite because it’s my favourite Gram song is a Song for You.

Emmy looks sad,I am too

[@tomlemole4164]

I'm so glad to find this complete video.😊

[@richardjarrell3585]

I like this show even better than the tribute album itself. Saw it when it was first broadcast and pleased every time I can watch it again. I’ve been following Ryan Adams since.

[@bufpowell]

Five years after this broadcast, I saw Emmylou, Buddy and Julie Miller, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, and Patti Griffin in concert at Carowinds in South Carolina. As an amateur musician, it changed the course of my life. The projects this group of people have been engaged in since then continue to amaze...

[@user-db5ts2yt6o]

It's mountain music!

[@homsupp]

Have loved this tribute for years. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@user-db5ts2yt6o]

Thanks Emmylou. 😘

[@richardjarrell3585]

Recorded on 19 September 1999, the 26th anniversary of Gram’s death.

[@margaretross9150]

And now it's 50. 😪

[@linda.cafaro4284]

Emmylous guitar is almost bigger than she is

[@barroonsyska467]

It's nice to see this tribute. as Gram Parsons is like one of the most understated influences in music today. My only question is, is there any better, clearer footage? This one is quite pixelated. It almost looks like an old recording from the 70's

[@bufpowell]

The video is from a first generation DVD recording of the original broadcast. There may be better quality captures out there.

[@eugeneplaud2131]

I get it. The video is about as relaxed as the audio is. Gram was certainly quite as relaxed.

[@BROOKS39]

Chris Hillman keeps referring to Gram as Graham? His name was actually Ingram and it was later shortened to Gram.

[@mairianncullen8753]

It's just Chris's accent

[@will-hh6nr]

No sign of Keith Richards. Thank God.

[@tylersipla]

DRA is the only replacement for Graham.
