Album Description

Fresh on the heels of the October, 1972 release of their third album, Gypsy Cowboy, the New Riders of the Purple Sage embarked on an East Coast tour that would quickly solidify their reputation as America's premier psychedelic-country-rock outfit. Pulling into the historic confines of Tremont Street's Boston Music Hall on a Tuesday night in December, the New Riders had their engines primed and delivered a powerful set of originals that included "Sutter's Mill," "Groupie" and "Whiskey" from Gypsy Cowboy, and fan favorites "Truck Drivin' Man," "Hello Mary Lou" and the stompin' show closer "Willie And The Hand Jive." With Buddy Cage now firmly entrenched behind the pedal steel guitar and taking the band to a new sonic plane, you can feel the energy and excitement of the night come solidly through on NRPS staples "Whatcha Gonna Do," "Portland Woman," "Last Lonely Eagle," " Louisiana Lady," "Glendale Train" and "I Don't Know You." A rollicking version of Chuck Berry's "School Days" displays their passion for boogie, and the evening's encores consist of folk-rocker and opening act Eric Andersen joining in on the fun for a version of his "I Love To Sing My Ballads, Mama (But They Only Want To Hear Me Rock & Roll)" and the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women." Boston Music Hall 12/5/72 was produced directly off the master analog reel to reel recording and was mastered by Stephen Barncard—who's production credits include the first three NRPS albums and the Grateful Dead's American Beauty.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Damn fine lineup even without Garcia.......2005-08-18

While I have a soft spot for the original incarnation of the New Riders, with Garcia on pedal steel and Lesh on bass, they were still a formidable unit in 1972, when this gem of a show was recorded.

I have a bunch of NRPS bootlegs on CD, from '70, '71, '77 and other years, and while the '71 show from the Dead's historic spring run at the Fillmore is my favorite, this runs a close second.

Most of my favorite songs are here ("Truck-Drivin' Man," "Henry," "Glendale Train"), as are some nice covers in the form of Chuck Berry's "School Days" and Cash's "Long Black Veil.

Buddy Cage is nice on the pedal steel, but like I said, I just have a soft spot for Garcia's loping style, which carried through surprisingly well on pedal. Cage is a little more technical, but still very enjoyable.

Like the Dead, NRPS have an awkwardly endearing harmony that makes you smile, and the boogie to back it up. Good good stuff.

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING.......2004-11-11

The sound quality was much better then I ever expected, and the package that it came in was unlike the typical CD case. Very cool stuff!

4 out of 5 stars Boston Show Rocks and Is NO LONGER ON CD-Rs.......2004-08-27

You should ignore the outdated review posted about these being on CD-Rs. They are no longer on CD-Rs and are now pressed glass masters. Aside from that, this is a great show that captures the New Riders in their prime.
