@@johnblood3731 Gram died in 1973. We had rotary phones back then. Period. More like using telephones to say something that should have been said in person. A great lyric, by a great songwriter. RIP Gram Parsons 1973 :(
Chris and Herb are great. I wish Chris would get more credit. I love Gram but he did his best work with Chris. It is sad that so many people ignore Chis because he didn't die young and pretty.
"We've all got wheels/To take ourselves away/We got telephones to say what we can't say/We all got higher, and higher everyday/Come on, wheels!/Take this boy away."
Has anyone else noticed that in the faux performance portion of this video (obviously filmed some months after the the studio recording heard therein) bassist Chris Ethridge is behind the drums, drummer Mike Clarke is pretending to play bass, and Chris Hillman is nowhere to be seen?
My deceased guy Ronnie Allen, from the Allen Brothers pointed this out to me and on Hot Burrito. But we both loved Gram and his incarnations, he thought it was funny.

@@Hamburgler6.9 Nobody stole anything. The common element from FBB to the Eagles was Bernie Leadon. After he left FBB he co-founded the Eagles and brought that sound with him.
Really Wish they would quit putting a photo from those Two Clips "Hot Burrito #1 and Christine's Tune" on these other FBB Songs because I get all excited thinking it's another Clip from that Session but Sadly I guess you only find Gold once or in this case twice in a lifetime.
After The Lord Took Mr Parsons Wheels His Friends took him into the Desert lit his body and rolled his Ashes and Smoked him They Dont Make People Like This anymore
His friend CREMATED him. His friend did not smoke his ashes. He kept a promise and stole his body so he could cremate it at the spot where Gram wanted it done, at a special spot in Joshua Tree Nat Park.

A life story that was so very glorious and tragic, all at once. Heroin is bad.
Oh sad the drugs
"We got telephones to say what we can't say," so prophetic.
i think they might have had telephones when this song was written lol
when its true its pure and emotional
@@jeffreymurray7464I think he was talking about texting on phones today/saying thing we would no say in person.

Song playing while Del and Neil are in a motel in Planes, Trains and Automobiles
My favorite Flying Burrito Bros song...
This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
The greatest roulette song of all time
I saw Chris and Herb perform this song a few nights ago... it never loses its magic
Chris and Herb are great.
I wish Chris would get more credit.
I love Gram but he did his best work with Chris.

that was magic tribute to emmy lou
@@1978garfield: So True!
nobody can top this song by gram and chris......even one of my fav's dwight yoakam can't......gram parsons is the best....
take me away... holly shit when that bass kicks in, man those feels bro
This album is so fucking good. Crazy how underrated it is. This, Dark End of the Street and Sin City are my favorites
It's not under-rated !!!
It was sadly ignored at the time it was released but is now on Rolling Stone's top 500 albums list. Genius!
Gram, The Hank Williams Of Our Generation.
This is Totally true. Only person with soul would recognize that! Bless you! 🎸🎶
This guy will always be ahead of his time. Timeless.... fuckin Gram... man!!
This might be my favorite song of theirs. So solid.
Great harmony .
Terrific band. I was lucky to see them play in Amsterdam in 1972. Of course I had been to Dam Square first. Thanks for posting.
Such an incredible clip so fitting for this incredible song, hats off for this creation!
Fantastic!!!
Keyboard was hilarious and great!
"We've all got wheels/To take ourselves away/We got telephones to say what we can't say/We all got higher, and higher everyday/Come on, wheels!/Take this boy away."
Well, this is a tune and a half.
another great song
Absolutely beautiful. So soothing. Great instrumental playing by all. Thank you guys.
I'd love to hear Hank Sr sing this song.
Brings back fond memories.
New fan!
It Is Too Bad That A Person And A musician. Of the caliber of Graham Parsons will never be seen in this lifetime
Sturgil Simpson, Tyler Childers, Joe Pug, the music is still here man you just ain't going to find it on that devil box.
@@ChuckImania Like he said, it's a shame...
I really thought Ryan Adams would be that guy, but he's such a narcissistic blowhard, he will not be respected the way Gram is.
Che bella questa canzone....a distanza di anni è ancora sublime.....nn finirei mai di ascoltarla...Grandi FBB!,,
has anyone ever noticed that Gram's picture resembles the only known picture of Billy the Kid, his expression and the way he has his head canted.
And Gram steals things too; people's hearts.
Thing of beauty!
Gram is (was) the f...kin man!
the best
I am loving the shutterstock adds before this!
Yep..I said that
Has anyone else noticed that in the faux performance portion of this video (obviously filmed some months after the the studio recording heard therein) bassist Chris Ethridge is behind the drums, drummer Mike Clarke is pretending to play bass, and Chris Hillman is nowhere to be seen?
Bill Whitaker someone else commented on another video that they were making fun of having to lip sink for the video so they switched instruments
My deceased guy Ronnie Allen, from the Allen Brothers pointed this out to me and on Hot Burrito. But we both loved Gram and his incarnations, he thought it was funny.
It seems more groups got real tired of the mimed performances. Quite common for them to mess around and not take it so seriously.
Cool. Thanks for posting!
UYD brought me here, thanks Jonathan
thankful ...
Nice mash-up..
Emmylou Harris and Chriss hilman did fine versions of the song
Aucun doute que cela doit être superbe avec ce musicien en plus et derrière Emmylou il y a Hank du Vito à la pédale Steel..et l'ensemble doit être vraiment joli...tout comme Emmylou
Can't believe there's not even one picture of him on his MOTORCYCLE. He sure as heck didn't write this about roller skates!
There is. It's an album cover. Anyway he wrecked his bike.
@@dougodyssey50 do you like Boulder To Birmingham by Emmylou written about Gram?
@@maggiethecat1538 yes
@@dougodyssey50 me too. 😻
I'm I the only one who sees Roy Etheridge and Mike Clark switching their respective instrument for each others
?
+Joseph Perrizo YES!!!!
Chris,not Roy. Yes I did notice. :)
I like! Best thing now to do is go to gramparsonspetition and sign and get our boy in the hall-where he BELONGS.
Can hear the influence on the Eagles.
That's cuz the eagles stole the FBBs sound
Richard gwaltney No they didn’t

Amazing just. His whole life but sad his death.I still am so impressed by That bloke buried under a Joshua Tree.L💝P Karin
Karin Storer Arunasalam he is buried in Metairie Louisiana just outside of New Orleans. No Joshua trees there!

How fucked up do you have to be to steal your best friend's body, hustle it out to the desert, and set it on fire?

CJ carp haha! Right??
I guess the “Older Guys” clips wouldn’t fit this song lol
Inspired by Gram Parsons' questionable relationship with motorcycles.
Haha! That's right! Someone said that bike was too big for him! Ah, I feel like I know him even if I never met him...
@@erinshores2617 Gram has a kind of magic that way.
Sign in RUclips without a Google.
Cool song, weird borrowed video.
It's a country song...if you want good bass playing listen to jazz.
Planes trains and automobiles
No. Motorcycles.
Yes, the movie!
Come on wheels..take this song away
Chris Ethridge was a very good bass player, but couldn’t play drums too well.
I love this song, but 4 me Dwight does it best!!
But still a great version.
Michael Butler 🤣
