@@LindaCafaro Well I don't have a crystal ball; however, I'm speaking in odds. He was a good looking rock star, a drug abuser/addict. Had he married her, it would be a bad bet- likely episodes of adultery, or having children & he overdosed & left her a widow & his children fatherless. He came from a very troubled family. Moreover, this was the era of "free love". Which isn't really free- there's usually a high cost. Emmylou is from Alabama, & likely has some very traditional values regarding family & marriage. Gram Parsons may have esteemed traditional values as well; however, he kept some bad company. It's a true saying: show me your friends, & I'll show you your future. I hope that helps you understand why I wrote that & what I meant by it.
What a great way to honor this man, with great people to do it. You couldn’t ask for any better his music will live on through these people, and hopefully future generations of singers , musicians and songwriters thanks every one!!!❤
I'm soon to be 74 years old and of course I love this and love anything to do with Emmy. A word of caution though for those that think this music was so much better than now! I find that if you dig you can find artists today that are putting out truly great stuff. A young man named Tyler Childers has been around for a while and is worth a listen. Miranda Lambert on the Marfa tapes- Awesome. Many others. Don't get me wrong I could listen to Townes, Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell all day and be happy but as times change, I say have an open mind! Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you tube (some original stuff)
I hear you echoing my own words. College radio and free form, tho there aren’t as many, YT. Great Christian singer just popped up, Josiah Queen, a lot of Piedmont Blues in his sound, like the Avett Brothers
@@burlingtonbill4687 it’s just great to see people who know the history and bring it forward. I’ve loved the Avetts since forever. I think it was Vin Scelsa on WFUV who introduced me to them.
I am 48 and was introduced to gram back in 94 ! The flying burrito brothers. That guilded place of sin album. Then the byrds sweetheart of the radio. Amazing amazing hidden gems! It was only when I was Emmy lu at Bonnaroo music festival in 2003. She covers a frying burrito brothers song that I went back and did the research that I found the fallen angels, God bless her I love the wrecking ball album from Emmy lu! When we saw her at Bonnaroo in 03 it started raining and the sun was out ! She has us all in TEARS! LOVE THD SOUND AND THE COMPANY SHE BROUGHT IN!!
I much prefer High Fashion Queen at this slower speed. Apparently Hillman always wanted it done this way and now he's got his wish. Fast is OK too but this speed really let's the song breathe and is more like a traditional country song
@@kennymiller902 I also asked this question and receiving no answer and I think that I now have a partial answer after 2 days of researching this performance. The young man performing is Ryan Adams. Look him up. I originally thought that it was Chris Hillman from The Flying Burritos but he would have to have been much older. Then I thought that there may have been other uploads with more info and it was then that I found the name . I did recognize some of the people performing: There is Bernie Leaden of Eagles fame to the right in a black t-shirt and black slacks , and then there is Greg Leisz on lap steel and in a green shirt behind Emmylou, formally with Tom Petty (?) and now with Jackson Browne. There are 1 or 2 drummers of which I know nothing about and another country lap steel in a red shirt on which I know nothing about. And there is a guitar player on your left whom I know nothing about. Maybe someone else can help us out.
Stargazer thank you for that info! Greg Leisz is the most accomplished genius in that crowd, save Emmy Lou, he’s astonishing. I saw Ryan Adams this past year (someone gave me tickets) and honestly, his hair looked exactly the same, except now he’s 50, he seemed strangely immature, like stuck in time.
They were Tom Brown's words , Gram did the melody and some adjustment to the words to fit the metre of the song. . By the way his name was Ingram , not Graham
No, they weren’t, I have scratch sheets in my handwriting…word for word: so convenient that the stones just happened to be around for wild horses when Parsons died and that was h taken from my portfolio , too You like to think you know something…you know zero.
@@ronaldjaybelin520 So you don't know Gram's real name, you don't know who wrote Grievous Angel. Scratch sheets? You got a flea problem? Jeez , will file you under another weirdo dildo with Gram fixations .
@@ronaldjaybelin520 So you don't know Gram's name, you don't know who wrote Grievous Angel , seem to have some fixation on Wild Horse . Scratch Sheets ? Have you got a flea problem? Jeez clearly another weirdo dildo with a Gram fixation. who wants to spout conspiracy theories
@@ronaldjaybelin520 So you don't know Gram's name, you don;t know who wrote Grievous Angel , seem to have some conspiracy theory re Wild Horses. Scratch sheets? Another weirdo hanging round Gram videos, seems nothing changes. I don;t think mate , i know..as for you , i hope you get better soon
This tribute seems more respectful than the one Keith Richards was in. While laudable Richards participated, he hijacked the event and he did not perform well, as his singing even by that time was long gone. And he was the passed his time of having anything interesting to offer as a musician. We got Keith the beloved personality. Here, Emmylou really keeps it all together.
Dude. Richard's drew in a large amount of the audience. And gave the event the electricity only a Rollingstone could. Plus him and Gram were pals. Where's your sensitivity?
Graham Parsons: one of the most over-rated, rich-boy, singer/song-writers of the 'country-rock' genre. Fortunately, Hillman kept him on a tight leash for The Gilded Palace of Sin.
Slide steel. hhhh...baled hay,milked cows,shoveled shit,dug ditches,climbed phone poles,dug em too don't tell me bout planting trees,driving tractors....mechanical engineer at the tail end,hahaha...
They did some great work together, but I understand why you feel that way. At best I would say he's conflicted about Gram and inconsistent in how he speaks about him. Each quite troubled in different ways but both likely because of parental suicide. Very sad.
"On the Thirty First floor, a gold-plated door won't keep out the Lord's burning rain." This last verse sounds like The Band.. Beautiful
This is absolute heaven - RIP GP!
Emmy looks so sad when she sings songs that she and Gram did together, it was so sad what happened and still is sad to this day❤❤❤
I hear ya. But he would’ve broken her heart anyway, & into a million pieces,, instead of just two.
@@researchsoundlab9929 why do you say that?
@@researchsoundlab9929 you didn’t answer me, I asked how do you know he would have broken her heart

@@researchsoundlab9929 I truly think she would have wanted to try.
Singing harmony with Emmy Lou…I can’t think of anything better. Her and Graham =magic
This is one of the best tributes to the Graham Parsons legacy that takes you home sweet home.
I saw Emmy Lou on her 70th Birthday, she was GREAT!
How does this woman get prettier as she ages?
I started out younger
At most everything
Love you Gram, thank you for the tunes
"Had almost everything...All The Riches and pleasures..." Gram was born into wealth and comfort.
@@myradioon5979 comfort being particularly relative
And tremendous sadness. @@myradioon5979
Emmy Lou Harris always a plus!
Hickory, moving rendition.. Burns my heart.
What a great way to honor this man, with great people to do it. You couldn’t ask for any better his music will live on through these people, and hopefully future generations of singers , musicians and songwriters thanks every one!!!❤
Thanks. He was so gifted and true.
Emmy Lou is a lovely lady
❤️❤️Love this , ❤️❤️⭐️🌞👍🏻.. Back When the Musicians made the MUSIC. ❤️❤️👍🏻⭐️🌞🌞🌞⭐️⭐️🌞⭐️⭐️❤️
I became 62 and have relished his poetry and melodies
Very beautiful!!!
Hickory WInd...amazing. Truth is simple.
Who is the musician for Hickory Wind?
@@robr1241listen to the version by AJ Lee
Toujours aussi belle Emmylou! ❤ 🎸
what a fantastic, amazing show. And I think Gillian Welch took it to a whole different level.
Is he the young guy looking like Gram?
@@Jen-c6u that's David Rawlings. The woman is his wife and partner, Gillian Welch... they are both amazing.
Can’t get enough of the music unequalled ❤

Thanks for this! I had this on a VCR tape way back when... lost it in the Sandy flood...It was pretty worn out anyway...
Great live versions of the tribute album I've loved for quite a few years.
Bro law outta midland,mi, he's Cheyenne family,I lived south TN fer 10? 15? Years.peace,casey
Rock steady
Makes sense EH hosted her own tribute to GP...she knows to steer clear of the lollapaloozas
Thanks to all y’all! ❤
Gillian Welch sounds and looks like Gram
Is that Bernie Leadon in the dark blue shirt on guitar?
You betcha👍
Unbelievable…was gonna ask exactly that same question 👏
From Dan the man way down in Australia…a dear Parsons, Burritos and Emmylou lover…

The one with Richards was 5 years after this. His duet with Norah Jones was solid too. Gram could never sing on key and neither can Keith

@@robdupree5687I think Mark's just keeping it real. Richards looked high in that one and kind of took it over in inappropriate fashion
