Subject: John 'McDuke' Dawson, RIP, Kept NRPS Alive

I recall seeing the New Riders many times from the mid-70's to 1980 or so. Some of the greatist shows and songs ever. NRPS 'broke up' around 1980, but Dawson toured relentlessly during the 1980's and a little in the very early 90's. He moved to Mexico where he died in 2009. But the rest of the original members of NRPS got Dawson's blessing to get the band back together and tour again. Which they are doing actively in 2012. Although Dawson's death and absence takes a lot away from seeing the new NRPS.

Subject: great show

Mid 80s NRPS, and not bad at all because of the mid 80s part. Great sound quality and the reworked version of "Rainbow" is killer. Also dig two of my favorite "unknown" NRPS tunes, "Rancher's Daughter" and "Sunshine Showers." And "Friend of the Devil" makes you wonder why the NRPS never did it earlier. Excellent shit.

Thanks for capturing this Roger!

Subject: Riders Rise in Rare Time

With this set the Riders could very well hold title as Best Live Band of 1984. Complete with occasional (and outstanding) strings an eclectic set list this is one of the best New Riders' sets available. Somewhere Dylan garbled drunk and Garcia noodled next to needle, but at Keystone bested 'em both and were the best bar band in the West-hell, of the decade.
