The high note she hits on the second fourth chord (G when played in D) of each verse sends chills down my spine, and make me wonder why I ever try to sing that one myself.
Before there was James Taylor, there was Tom Rush, essential singer/songwriter and interpreter of James, Joni, Jackson, etc. Rockport Sunday was the first open tuning songs I learned. So many great tunes. No Regrets is a beautiful song and tribute to the wonderful women in my life, the ones who left, and the one who stayed. Thanks for sharing this.
Take a Little Walk with Me was one of the very best albums of the '60s. It showed the many sides of his talent and warm voice. Money Honey through Galveston Flood. His Chuck Berry inspired On the Road Again rocked and the guitars of Bruce Langhorne and Al Kooper were exceptional.
Thank you for posting this. I was there that night -- always went to see Tom back in the day at Symphony Hall on my birthday. Nothing short of excellent.
Damn! Thank you pianopappy! Been trying to get Tom to release this show for years now, but it seems the station that broadcast it originally wouldn’t agree. I hope this can stay up forever because this was a wonderful concert! My Betamax copy was so worn that I couldn’t get as good a copy as you did. Those of you who see this show, go to Tom’s web page and get a vinyl copy of this show...not all songs on it, but a great recording nonetheless. Thanks again!
@@pianopappy It is but it doesn't include the entire concert so that might make for an odd sounding video. (www.discogs.com/Tom-Rush-New-Year/master/471330)
Tom is still putting out albums and doing shows. He has a Patreon page where you get to see him do a couple of songs each week. I pay a bit more to get a sort of useful lyrics sheet and occasionally a special recording. Usually has guest -- Matt Nokoa, Tom Paxton, and other folks.
Hey pianopappy, do you have an hour-long set of Ray Charles on Austin City Limits in 1980? It has the Southwest Texas Public Broadcasting Council logo, funding credits, Austin City Limits Season 5 opening sequence, as well as Lickona's introduction.
I was there in person that night. It was absolutely amazing.
Emmylou's version of "Pancho and Lefty" is undoubtably the best cover of the song.
Absolutely!

Tom Rush is the best

yes in fact during several interviews taylor has always stated that he wanted to be like rush... tom was his role model,..
Those were the days my friends
we thought or hoped they would never end ……
I watched Tom perform in a small venue in South Paris Maine, back in either 1981 or 1982. It was a great time that I will always remember.
Tom goes way back and sounds amazing through all these years. This was a really good show! Thanks!

Wow! Thank you so much for this. I had this album. Such great music.
What a classic! Thank you

Thanks, Robert. Is the vinyl release in stereo? If it is, I'd be willing to try to sync it to my video (someday).

Thank you so much for this video. As an old Tom Rushian I really appreciate it
Happy to provide it. I hope more "Rushians" find it.
Thanks for responding to my "Special Request" for this video, PianoPappy!
You're welcome. You've been waiting a long, long, time. (Sorry it's not in stereo.)
59:16 Big Bird must really LOVE Tom Rush if he stays up til midnight to watch his concert on TV
Tom and EmmyLou both look so young here.
Nice to see Orphan there also in the beginning. They backed him for a few years. Eric lillequist and dean adrian

Nope. Sorry Cody. I do have Ray Charles on Saturday Night Live; but, SNL blocked it as soon as it was uploaded.
After Galveston Flood I was wondering if we were going to hear a medley of his hit.
