I just discovered him this year. I'm so very sad that to it took me over 50 years to find him. But, I'm so glad that I did. I only looked him up, because he is was such an influence on my beloved Keith. I am burning with regret for not doing so sooner. And I'm burning with sadness that he went to Heaven when I was just a youngun. He is God's own singer. Guess God needed him back. One more thing to look forward to, when I fly away, too. ❤️
@@gerrybradley8084 "if he lived a healthy lifestyle..." Gram Parsons, like many of his generation, was a victim of the times and his parents generation of not dealing with issues. The "silent generation" endured a lot, no doubt. But in not talking about their lives and experiences, they buried so much and then self medicated as much as they could. Back then alcohol was the usual "drug" of choice. Gram's father committed suicide and his mother was an alcoholic. They were both dead before Gram graduated high school. What is a teenager supposed to do with that? Get help? No such thing at the time. So Gram also self medicated. When he had Emmylou join his band and after some missteps they started to rehearse and coalesce into a tighter musical unit. One can clearly hear how they got better and better over time. They recorded 2 albums and toured. Finding gems like this one is special. Please don't say things like "if he lived a healthy lifestyle". He lived the only life he knew how to. Gram was straightening up, using less and making better music. But he decided to celebrate and in doing so thought he could consume what he had normally consumed in the past. Whether it was the alcohol or the morphine, he didn't know his body had weaned itself down from his previous levels of consumption. So he consumed what he used to consuming, not knowing it would kill him. This was very common in the early 1970's. There was so much we didn't know from needing talk therapy when you had parents with issues like Gram's to heroin/morphine withdrawal which meant you didn't need the large dose you last took to experience a high. The science simply wasn't available at the time. Gram Parsons was a gift we should all be happy we were blessed with. Sure, we wish he lived longer and made more great music. For whatever reason, that wasn't his path in life. Let's just be thankful for what we have and that he gave us great lyrics, musical compositions, his stellar bandmates and Emmylou Harris who has carried his legacy for many decades and still sings his songs as well as the ones she has written to honor him. Yes, he was a flawed human being, but he was one supremely talented one and who among us is perfect? I am personally happy to enjoy what he left us, and yes I wish he had lived, but we can't change that. We can only enjoy his legacy.
I grew up in the same town with the Parson family as well as the Snively families. Snively is Gram's family name. I saw him at the Derry Down on Cypress Gardens Road in about 1963-64 and then at the new Derry Down near McDonalds. The demon rum cursed the entire family for decades and most died young. I just wish Gram had lived as he had so much to offer and no doubt would have been iconic over the years. He was a sad kid all along and struggled to get a grip on life. Bless you Gram. Oh by the way the family were the citrus barons of Polk County and Gram had tons of money that also drove him down. How often we see that in life.
I saw Gram & Emmylou at the Tower Theater in August of 1973, a month before he died in Joshua Tree. I couldn’t get any of my friends to go ‘cause they weren’t interested in ‘that country shit’ back then. They’re interested now!
Everything that consumed Gram and took him way too soon was already given to Emmlou. She has honored him all her life. In our next life they will walk through those pearly gates and be together. I respect him but l love her.
Even a few bars of singing backup and Emmylou's voice rips my heart out. It's absolutely uncanny. I just saw her in August (2021), almost 50 years later, and it's the same thing.
how old? he burned the candles by the two boots...he spent time in the pharmacy a bit too much - just saying - I took up weight lifting to sort out my health
My folks sang songs like this back in the 50s all the way into the 90s..Classic Country..Hank Snow/Thompson, Red Foley, Lefty, Jim Reeves, Eddie Arnold, Ray Price n alot more.. I remember the all night parties until the next morning, dad would drive us all home after we slept on the couch all night and we'd all rest up and then they'd take us in tow again the next night and do it all again with a house full of relatives and guitars.. my older brother told me they did the same thing with him and big sister in the 50s. until mom left in 2000.. Thank God I learned a few of those great tunes along the way..
Very raw video with Gram and Emmylou ! Beautiful harmony. Gram was my favorite country music singer. Also just incredible pedal steel guitar ! Miss the pedal steel in country music today.
Brilliant. Amazing voice. Gram had it all and with Emmy Lou did some of the best duets ever. Truly gifted singer songwriters seem to have the ability to place their voice on someone else's song (Buck Owens in this case) and lift the song even higher. We all miss Gram and I hope he and Townes Van Zandt are playing together on the other side.
I am a lifelong fan of Gram & Emmylou!! They were so good together and Emmylou has honored Gram since his untimely death. I was 18 & it was my best friend Nancy’s birthday, the day Gram died. I kept telling my husband about how wonderful Gram was, this was prior to Amazon & it was hard to find Flying Burrito Brothers, but we got Fallen Angels album right after it’s release, in the early 90’s, our sons grew up with that album & I did get several FBB albums in the 90’s, my oldest son just had to buy Fallen Angels, for himself, BC he loves Gram & Emmy So Much!!!
The country die hards would not accept Gram as a serious country musician back in the day, but I tell you the truth, he was more country than any artist, bar none, that is out there today in 2017. Do they ever know what they are doing for and to country music in the famous town of Nashville???????????????
nashville's old guard were trying to be new fangled and didn't want to use heavy pedal or good intricate fiddling in the back. they were like jethro bodine - newly rich and still a hick
I had never heard this one before. That pedal steel guitar and Emmy's soft voice. Just wow. Wish I had this version. It's even better than Buck's version and it's his own song. I bet he's laughing in heaven saying...go get it man.
Have never heard this beautiful and heartfelt version...I hope Buck Owens had a chance to hear this amazing recording and listen to Gram's words. Just beautiful... from a current resident of Bakersfield, Buck's hometown.
I remember hearing the GP album for the first time. Gram’s voice already had me hooked; then here comes Emmylou. And to top it all off, he’s got Elvis’s band recording with him in the studio. That’s just badass!! Much love from NYCity!! ☯️🕉❤️✌️
Love grams voice so much. Im a newish fan and so obsessed with gram and his voice. Gram and emmylou sang so well together. Could listen to grams voice all day. Such a very sad and tragic loss. Gram gone way too soon. ❤️
I just in the last 2 months started to listen to Gram as well. I listen to him all day at work now! I l had always heard of him and his passing but never actually listen to his music till now. What a treasure we lost!
@@sandyjohnson3030 yes its a very sad loss. He was so talented and great voice. I had heard cpl his songs yrs ago but never properly listened to him till last yr and im addicted to him now. I get emotional listening to some his songs
I only discovered GP fairly recently.What a beautiful voice and a great song writer.An amazing talent.Gram where have you been all my life.Rest in peace.
Gram's take on the Bakersfield Sound... stick'n to Nashville. Born and raised just West of Bako, and a fan of Gram and Buck... This is gold. Now if only that disrespectful audience would only shut up and let the artists perform the songs they wants to. Lol
@@weallen67 I'm with you Bill with Neil on steel. Also 3 other posters name him. Not sure how A J Coh thinks Al Perkins is on steel here. At 3:55 you can hear Gram introducing Neil Flanz on steel. I remember Neil back in Montreal at the Country Palace on Sherbrooke street and other venues. The timing of this show fits perfectly with Neil's time with Gram.
I'd love to have this on a cd ... if anyone has it , I'll pay you for a copy .I have almost everything Gram ever recorded , but not this , and some bootleg stuff , which I'd love to have too . This live stuff is my favorite , especially with Emmylou . Doesn't get any better then this .
I just thought I'd update this comment that I made a year ago . I actually got a Fallen Angels cd for Christmas with this song on it , so I'm a happy girl . My family definitely knows what I like :)
@@shannondawn44 Great CD...I think I have most all of Gram's stuff....some live...Gram was assume...I never appreciated him until a year or so after his death, I really started listening.....I was so stuck on the Eagles about all I listen to at that time.....
Now that name Neil Flanz brings back a memory for me. From Montreal , I used to frequent the Blue Angel Café on Drummond and also The Monterrey on St. Catherines Street back in the early /mid 1960's.. Seems to me a steel player named Neil Flanz played at The Blue , I think , with my sister in law, married to Olie Strong. I think the band was Mickey Lee and The Swingsters . That was 1962 at The Blue Angel. Do you have any connection to that era in Montreal? I also have a clipping advertising Dusty King & The Country Cats featuring Neil Flanz at the Country Palace the same week with Bill Monroe.Mike
Alive, well and still playing in Austin, TX. I see him and frequently and can attest his style and taste remain intact! Neil always crushes the slower numbers. Nicest man alive too.
very rare. they didnt have time to do any PR for the Gram Emmy Lou team and then he died. What a loss. You can tell he is too stoned on this recording. But that particular era was dangerous for drug users as none of us knew yet what could kill us, we just wanted to go higher. Look at the Allman Bros too. Incredibly, Keith Richard is still alive and playing well.
Assuming you wrote Gram Parsons: A Musical Biography. I'm just finishing this very fine book. Insightful, beautiful writing and revealing interviews with Gram and his associates. Thanks so much for preserving his legacy.
@@margaretross9150 Yes, I am the author of same. Check out Million Dollar Bash, my book on Dylan's Basement Tapes. It did really well and I am so proud of it. 😎
@@sidgriffin813 Bought your book a few years ago Sid wasn't easy to find at the time for a reasonable price, eventually l got one. Thanks for your input. Had a dvd of you and your band it was quite good but somewhere along the way it's no longer with me. Hope you are going well.
@@michaelrose3101 Not sure which book you mean. I have written four. I assume you mean Million Dollar Bash, my book about Bob Dylan and the Basement Tapes as this book sold the best. It is how I got to write the liner notes to the Dylan box set. The Coal Porters did a VHS tape but no DVD and there are two Long Ryders DVDs out with me in 'em. Never done one on my own but will someday.
@@sidgriffin813 Thanks for your reply Sid the dvd l am referring to was one of The Long Ryders and the book is a Music Biography Gram Parsons, I understood not long after I sent, you may have thought l was meaning the Dylan book.
I've always been curious what Gram thought about Lobo's early '70s hits. I don't think they were in touch by then, but it must've been weird to hear your old '60s bandmate crooning soft rock tunes on AM radio several years later. I don't think Stafford really broke through until after Gram passed.
I knew Gram when he was at Winter Haven High and later in my life I bought Jim Stafford’s house on Lake Florence. They were both talented in their teens. Gram sat in with our college group when he was a teen. We knew him from where he he worked at a music store in Lakeland.
Gram didn't need Nashville then and Emmy doesn't need Nashville now. People tend to forget that the good music comes from South of crash Vegas...😎.p.s always has....
I love these bootlegs. I disagree though. Buck Owens' Hee Haw persona was awesome. I wish Gram was alive, I would love to have a few drinks and discuss the matter with him.
yeah the guy with nice hands! Crap country player unfortunately...he just happened to be in the right place at the right time -well for him. Fortunately Gram had Neil Flanz on steel to keep it sweet.
Isn't this a Buck Owens Song ? I'd say for all the Country /Rock talk about GP if you listen to his LIVE CONCERTS especially with The Fallen Angels ...He leaned way way down South.
Yes, it IS a Buck Owens song. Gram introduces the song as a Buck Owens song on the recording and the description also states that the recording is a cover of a Buck Owens song.
Hi Michael See my post today above here regarding Neil Flanz at The Country Palace on Sherbrooke Street in Montreal back in the early 1960's. I have the newspaper clipping in my scrapbook.He was featured with the band Dusty King and the Country Cats same week as Bill Monroe.
@@OlafRonald I am sorry to hear that Olaf. Actually one of Neil's friends and fellow steel player is Canada's own Olie Strong who happens to be my brother in law. They live in Midland and he is still playing with wife Rae.

Gram and Emmy Lou together was amazing. Beautiful.
So true their voices went so well together.
Gram would have been 75 today. many of us here have been listening to Gram for more years than he was alive. Happy Birthday.
Ain’t that the truth
Yes sir longer

His voice can literally rip your heart out. He was just magical in every way.
''Rip your heart out''. Correct! Every time I hear these two together I tear up. Beautiful. Amazing. Staggering.
That's exactly how I've felt since I first saw Gram with the ISB.
Pray for gram always
@raymondmeyers8437 I wasn't even born yet, boy did I miss out😢
EVEN live, this is the best version of this song
Gram. Emmylou. Buck Owens Tune. Boston. I'd make the sign of the cross to that.
RIP Neil Flanz
I saw Gram & Emmylou at the Tower Theater in August of 1973, a month before he died in Joshua Tree. I couldn’t get any of my friends to go ‘cause they weren’t interested in ‘that country shit’ back then.
They’re interested now!
The Fallen Angels tour had finished by then , so who was Gram playing with, ?
I would have never.heard or heard of the Lou in brothers were it not for gram. You succeeded in your mission god bless you gram
Emmylou never got over Gram .❤
His music is timeless!!
Brand new heartache, from sleepless nights album, Emmy and grams best.
I have been a Gram Parsons fan for many years, but this is the first time I have this version of a classic country tune. Wow. All I have to say
Heard this version...
Everything that consumed Gram and took him way too soon was already given to Emmlou. She has honored him all her life. In our next life they will walk through those pearly gates and be together. I respect him but l love her.
Hey Gram. She knew! She still knows 47 years later.
Even a few bars of singing backup and Emmylou's voice rips my heart out. It's absolutely uncanny. I just saw her in August (2021), almost 50 years later, and it's the same thing.
Buck Owens and his great Buckaroos heavily influenced Gram Parsons. Great stuff!
That pedal steel... An astonishing and strangely compelling sound.
Neil Flanz RIP

@@sidgriffin813 Thanks for your reply Sid the dvd l am referring to was one of The Long Ryders and the book is a Music Biography Gram Parsons, I understood not long after I sent, you may have thought l was meaning the Dylan book.
Hey Gram. She knows!
don't let him know 🔥💕
Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris
Buck and Don own this sound
don't don't let him know...
I would love to have seen Gram and Jim Stafford and Lobo together back in their very young days.
I've always been curious what Gram thought about Lobo's early '70s hits. I don't think they were in touch by then, but it must've been weird to hear your old '60s bandmate crooning soft rock tunes on AM radio several years later. I don't think Stafford really broke through until after Gram passed.
I knew Gram when he was at Winter Haven High and later in my life I bought Jim Stafford’s house on Lake Florence. They were both talented in their teens. Gram sat in with our college group when he was a teen. We knew him from where he he worked at a music store in Lakeland.
Would that be the coolest poster ever?!
Just think who else he would have teamed up with maybe even changed to a new style that would become mainstream
Gram didn't need Nashville then and Emmy doesn't need Nashville now. People tend to forget that the good music comes from South of crash Vegas...😎.p.s always has....
Gary Howard there’s plenty of great music to be had from all geographical areas.
@@weallen67 that's right just don't think that Nashville is all that after the way they have treated a lot of good musicians 😎
@@garyhoward863 Elvis and Dwight Yoakam come to mind.
From what little I know it sounds like she's done more for Nashville than it ever did for either of them.
🎼🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️
Audiences have always been talkin a bit😅 Gram dont seem to mind❤
I love these bootlegs. I disagree though. Buck Owens' Hee Haw persona was awesome. I wish Gram was alive, I would love to have a few drinks and discuss the matter with him.
✌🏽
That's Jock Bartley from Firefall on guitar.
yeah the guy with nice hands! Crap country player unfortunately...he just happened to be in the right place at the right time -well for him. Fortunately Gram had Neil Flanz on steel to keep it sweet.
Noticed that the crowd got quite when Emmy started to sing. 😎
💜💜💜💜💜💜
We have the same avatar, and maybe the same taste in music.
I think she knew Gram. She still knows.
And she still does too.
Gram is my 7th cousin
Love this one . Which album is this off ? Thanks so much for posting
I have just about everything he has recorded. How can I possibly get a recording of this song for my personal collection
Back for more.

Isn't this a Buck Owens Song ? I'd say for all the Country /Rock talk about GP if you listen to his LIVE CONCERTS especially with The Fallen Angels ...He leaned way way down South.
Yes, it IS a Buck Owens song. Gram introduces the song as a Buck Owens song on the recording and the description also states that the recording is a cover of a Buck Owens song.
Buck Owens is West (Bakersfield) not South, but I take your meaning.
Buck Owen's was my next door neighbor in algona Washington.
Outstanding!
Keith Richard's must have some hidden recordings with gram in studio when they did some stuff
There is next to no live footage of Gram
There are so many great recording of GP, this ain't one of them. Unlistenable but I have producer's ears.
Out of key never sounded so sweet!
Neil Flanz on pedal steel
Hi Michael See my post today above here regarding Neil Flanz at The Country Palace on Sherbrooke Street in Montreal back in the early 1960's. I have the newspaper clipping in my scrapbook.He was featured with the band Dusty King and the Country Cats same week as Bill Monroe.
@@bluegrasscannuk Neil Flanz sadly passed away this week.
@@OlafRonald I am sorry to hear that Olaf. Actually one of Neil's friends and fellow steel player is Canada's own Olie Strong who happens to be my brother in law. They live in Midland and he is still playing with wife Rae.
