  • "Trio II" was recorded in 1994 but not released until 1999, when Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt appeared on Late Show to perform Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush." The Glass Harmonica (or Armonica) was played by Dennis James, who remembers the performance in an interview with Rich Bailey in 2002:
    Rich Bailey: I remember when you appeared with her on Letterman and you discussed the Armonica a bit. How was that?
    Dennis James: Well, it was a great surprise. A sort of unspoken message in the air to me before the broadcast was "Do not say anything on the air!”. After all, these things are Linda's appearances. When David L. leaned over his desk and directed a question to me I simply froze- on playback of the dub I can see myself caught and unable to speak. I received a glance from Linda that said to me it was OK and so when he tried again I called back a flip one liner and on things went from there.
    www.ronstadt-li...
    The synthesizer player is Cliff Carter. I think the pianist is Robbie Kondor.
    The Trio altered two lines in their original "Trio II" recording:
    1. "in the nineteen seventies" changed to "in the twentieth century."
    2. "And I felt like getting high" changed to "And I felt like I could cry."
    Here's their CD version: • Trio - After The Gold ...
    It'd be tough to imagine them changing the lyrics without first getting Neil's permission.
    So to everyone complaining about the lyric changes in this live performance: Don't blame the show or the network. The changes had been made in the Trio's original recording. And, we must assume, with Neil Young's blessing.
    Update: Quoting Wikipedia: "Parton also released a solo version of the song in 1996, though her version altered the line 'I felt like getting high' to 'I felt like I could cry' with the permission of Neil Young."

      By 1999, when they appeared on Letterman, Linda's voice was starting to be affected by the palsy that eventually led to her retirement from public performances and ultimately prevented her from being able to sing at all. When she was at full power, NO ONE could sing like Linda.

    I first heard 'After the Gold Rush' as I sat down in the chapel for my best friend's memorial service in October of 1971. Four days earlier we were climbing a 400 foot waterfall when the unthinkable happened. As I took my seat in the chapel I heard the line, "I was thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie." It later occurred to me that every person in the room had lived that line at some point that week. In the song, there is no explanation of what 'a friend had said'. Neil left that to our imagination, which is what makes it so provocative. My friend loved Neil's music and used to especially enjoy singing 'Sugar Mountain' for us. It was 2 months before his 20th birthday when he died, cause you 'can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain'. It almost goes without saying that no other song holds a place in my heart quite like this one.

    It took my many times listening to this masterpiece to realize the high harmony was Linda's! I guess I usually had my eyes closed, floating away, and didn't watch the video. There's a brief two part harmony at about 2:26 where it shows only Linda and Dolly singing. I don't think I ever appreciated that she had that kind of range. I suppose that's usually the domain of background singers, and she alway sang lead. What an instrument she had.
