Performing on the stage with Sneaky Pete, who manages to draw incredible sounds from a little-known and special instrument such as his pedal steel guitar, are Skip Battin (a former Byrds member and later New Riders of the Purple Sage bassist), multi-instrumentalist Greg Harris, and drummer Jim Goodall. The night's repertoire is the very best a top- notch band can offer. Besides songs from the early Flying Burrito Brothers days, we fnd tunes made famous by the Byrds, country rock songs that are now considered classics, and some of those adventurous bluegrass numbers that were so well-loved in the old continent. The audience is involved and shows its appreciation, support, and encouragement, having fun and demanding total commitment from the musicians on stage. This is not the only live recording from that time, as in the years following that tour other releases have proved how beloved the band was in Europe. However, the degree of inspiration, passion, enthusiasm, energy, and even musicianship shown by this band on that specifc night might well be unparalleled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Appaloosa","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50383090155851,"sku":"2027604","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8012786025520_753b4ed9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726262726"},{"product_id":"roads-taken","title":"Roads Taken","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst Ron Lasalle album in 10 years - Ron LaSalle was long ago tagged \"The Bohemian Blues Man\" for his eclectic blend of soulful poetics, musical honesty, and tobacco-cured vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e No stranger to the business, LaSalle was one of the forerunners in what is now the Americana roots rock scene when, in 1995, he co-founded D'Ville Records with Garry Tallent and Tim Coats.
