The original tape was recorded by me, and I also took the photos. Unfortunately, my recorder was, shall we say, low budget, which accounts for the lack of quality, but as there aren't many live recordings of Gram, I guess the rarity compensates for it somewhat. For those who may not know, this is Gram and his wife Gretchen. Got to speak with them between sets, and they were gracious enough to let me take a few pictures. Glad the tape and photos have made the rounds!
"Cry One More Time For Me" was written by Boston's J. Geils Band who were all the Rage at the time. Gram no doubt knew them. Barry Tashian playing/singing here is from legendary Boston Garage band The Remains.Gram was very familiar/connected with the Boston scene as he went to Harvard in the 60's where he formed The International Submarine Band. He was always welcomed back.
Gram and Emmylou. My God what fantastic voices on Sin City. Their harmonies just rip me up. Right to the core. Tracks of my tears. "On the 31st floor A gold plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rays". God bless Emmylou. RIP Gram Parsons. You are sorely missed my friend. Thanks JoJo for the great job in cleaning up this rare gem of Gram and Emmylou.
I've always know about Gram and his passing, but jsut recently decided to listen to his music. Oh my what a talent!!! Way before time Oh what could have been! I am a major fan now! He was at his best with Emmylou!
I first heard Emmylou sing in about 1972. This is a year before she met Gram and she was an unknown singing in a trio at a few DC bars I would frequent. Even then, she had a great voice. I figured she would make it big. Boy did she ever. So glad she chose music and not Drama.
Wow. That says a lot about Gram; mixing brandy and whisky. I guess Gram really liked to mix things together and see what happened. He did that with country and rock music, obviously. But his mixing tequila and morphine on September 18th, 1973 proved fatal. The anniversary of that sad event is coming up in a few days. It will be fifty-one years ago. On that date, it was a Tuesday evening.
Love the way Gram and Emmy Lou speak to the audience like they’re close friends and family. Just shows how down to earth and unaffected by fame they really were!
They actually were not very famous at the time. That’s why they were playing in relatively small intimate clubs and halls. His fame came after death. Still, there were some who knew. And fortunately one of them made this recording....
They weren’t famous, and they were under pressure from their record label and management for shitty performances caused by lack of rehearsals. They didn’t really have a choice other than to be “nice” 🙂
A friend in highschool introduced me to Grams music back in 72', and it changed my musical taste, and my life, and then he was gone.....the older I get, the more I understand you are better off getting out young than to suffer the indignities of old age. Maybe Gram always understood that.
Tennessee Williams tragedy. The man was on the cusp of so much when he left this world. Major stardom, musical fulfillment and a passionate love affair with Emmylou.
Yeah we all know she won't admit it, he was married after all but going on the road when you're a mother and the photos being in the back of his motorcycle tell me all I need to know. She just doesn't want to be known as the mistress.
What a talent he was and wish he'd recognised it enough to still be with us now. One of my heroes and as Emmylou is also, what more can I say but thanks for letting us hear a few more great songs by them and their fine lively band. Thanks.
Gram was a visionary because what he did many years ago is Exactly what Country Music is today. The story is that he found Emmylou in a D.C. coffee house singing Joni Mitchell songs and taught her to sing Country harmony, especially Dolly. Whatever, Bless you Gram; your vision has encompassed many generations! It's so sad you are not here to see it.
So sad Gram is not in the Country Music and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Everyone, please sign and share this petition! www.gopetition.com/petitions/gram-parsons-wall-of-fame-and-petition-to-induct-into-rock-country-halls-of-fame.html
I totally disagree this is much to country to be accepted by country music industry of today ( or 5yrs. Ago) just as the industry found it to be to rock n roll to be accepted in the 70 s .I think that is the definition of Irony RBC
Gram... raw, roadhouse-show performance. The energy is nearly uncontainable! The mix is reasonably, dreadful, but wow, what a gem. Thanks for posting! I love hearing up-tempo Gram (medley). It sounds like he was having a good time that night. It makes me feel good (for him).
I've kept up with Emmylou Harris pretty well since the mid-70s and I have heard her do duets with many people. Nobody blends with her voice like Gram did. Thank you for these videos. I was sad to learn that my birthday is the same day Gram died. I will be 59, so he's been gone a long time. "She came down from the mountain, she came walking in his shoes; she was taken for a gambler when she had no more to lose. For he put her on that pathway, and how could she refuse... and she has spent her whole life out there working on the blues."
both of you guys are nuts....she HAS a stand alone voice and she's NOT widely regarded as the greatest female voice in the last 45 years. Hyperbole is the greatest thing...ever.
If this is any indication of what's to come - by all means bring it on. This is the real deal. What a knockout bunch of songs by great musicians. The crowd was having a blast. Wish I'd been there!
This music just plain and simple gives you just a little hope. Just a ray.Just a ray which is all you can ever hope for. Lord let em see the light. Let em see the light!
Sin City is one of my favorite songs. The line "The scientists say It will all wash away But we don't believe any more 'Cause we've got our recruits And our green mohair suits So please show your I.D. at the door" is one of the best in any kind of music IMHO.
Great Songs!!!!! LOST Music!!!! Gram was Emmy's mentor at the time.......any relationship tween the 2 Emmy has never talked about..... Lost Love in the desert ? Respect u emmy
Sounds great! The original true to his music, fuck who didn't like it alt. country rocker! He's sure looked upon different now, for thoughs who even know how great a musician and band he had then!
ummm 'hits' and recognition were largely in his afterlife, but I guess you mean except everything he did as a member of the Byrds on Sweetheart of the Rodeo which was not immediately commercially successful but within a year had people singing its praises.
true, but he was very young. and he was wealthy from birth. had he lived he'd have been a Grammy king. I get the impression(and I'm only now really getting familiar w/ his music)commercial success wasn't an obsession for him, and again, there just wasn't time. but I have to say, he made his mark in GIMME SHELTER w/ 'Six days on the road'. I've seen it many times, and in that piece of film they just rock that crowd, as well as those of us watching the film (seen it in the cinema plenty of times). maybe the only bright spot in that movie.
Gram's hickory wind . Always makes me cry and always makes think of friends and loved ones I have lost or lost contact with. Memories sometimes are all some of us have left. We carry on somehow .
This was approximately two months before he OD'd in a concrete block motel in Joshua Tree, CA. He was a legendary songwriter and interpreter of country music. He lived life balls to the wall and his fans respect him for that.
@entirelyfakename: "Pretentious"? "Grandad"? I can have sympathy for anyone dealing with addiction, but defending and glorifying it is bullshit. BloozeDaddy is right. There's NOTHING cool about heroin. Ask Jerry Garcia.
Like you ARE kidding right? For starters he never 'celebrated' a drug fueled lifestyle, he just chose one. So yes you very much trying to piss on a dead man from a great height and you're doing it fueled on a junk food level understanding of the facts on the ground. Starting with only an idiot or someone cribbing info from lazy journalists who did no background, saw the word opiates and am ill informed assumption. You do know the thing about assumptions right? All people present that day, say he obtained what was said to be liquid morphine while his assistant was off on a marijuana search. The official autopsy reported listed his death as natural causes despite the presence of alcohol and opiates in his system, they later appended a death by drug and alcohol toxicity, morphine was specifically mentioned. However his blood alcohol in his system was .21% high but nowhere near any sort of record. Also, the only place opiates were found was accumulated in his liver. So did he overdose that night or did exhaustion and overall poor health from his lifestyle kill him. Officious people like you that seem to take some perverse pleasure in shit talking the dead will just point to this and say that regardless drugs killed him. Yay for you team "Just say No". As for Garcia, he suffered from congestive heart failure and emphysema, his death was ruled to be the result of a heart attack. His stomach contents revealed several undigested items including a mascara brush, key and a bottle cap, suggested to have been ingested in the 70s or early 80s. Now because you never took any sort of advanced health classes, I'll fill you in on something. Heroin causes all sorts of heart damage which likely why he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. However, the majority of heroin related deaths are when you overdose to the point that your involuntary breathing muscles used by the pulmonary system are so sedated they fail to operate because your brain is impaired to the point that the pulmonary system is no longer circulating de-oxygenated blood around to oxygenated. I'm sure this is all very confusing to you since you're just some gibrone who wanted to stroll through the internet making casual disparaging remarks you thought would be quietly accepted even if disagreed with. To me, you're just a poorly informed sanctimonious shit for brains who deals in the intellectual currency of Reader's Digest and whatever your local right leaning tabloid is. As far as morphine, dude I have been a casual user for over twenty years, I have a 305 bench press, 365 squat and a very healthy cardiopulmonary system, I run 10k but have knee problems so I cap it there. Instead I do 100km training runs on my bike. You know what I don't do? Don't" smoke anything, drink 24/7, eat red meat or lead a sedentary lifestyle. Go read a book with footnotes and get up off the couch when you're done.
I really think that Gram translates wonderfully live. His performance at Altamont is excellent. Like Jackson Browne's "Runnin On Empty" was an all new original live recording that had real time feel. I wish Gram lived to do that on vinyl. It's free to dream!
Emmylou’s voice changed when Gram died. Before it was brighter happier and more innocent, after it was more melancholy and lonesome. Don’t get me wrong the tone change after his death made her able to sing the blues in a more powerful and authentic way than she might have achieved otherwise. Nonetheless these are real people with real emotions. Play me a tape of Emmylou singing without telling me where it was recorded, and I can tell you if it was before or after Gram died.
her looks also changed. her face had sadness in it all the time. Before i knew about Gram Parsons, and I loved Emmylou since the mid 70s, my thought was she's the saddest person even when she looks happy. I soon learned why.
A great tribute to Gram is how many Country Artists exemplified his work, particularly Sin City. Sad he went young, it just wasn't meant to be...The times back then took the brightest lights early...just sayin...
THIS IS SO REAL in contrast with the garbage so popular nowadays. Pop always has beaten rough edged in popularity because want to have fun not to face challenges in life.
Gram best. We are now living intheage of anti music. These clowns today don’t deserve to tread the same earth as BP. Rest In Peace with god forever dear gram

Interesting... a photo of Gram and his estranged widow Gretchen, the person who prevented Emmylou's photo and name from being on the cover of Grevious Angel.
I can't give Gretchen too much slack. She had just lost her husband after all. Emmy says she never consummated the relationship with Gram and I believe her. However I can understand Gretchen being suspicious. I mean look at Emmy.
I truly believe that Gram and Emmy were born to sing together. Their voices merged and created nothing less than magic. Hearts On Fire is incredible. Few others have carried that banner. For me, Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley did it. The Everly Bros. too.
Thought I had heard all the Gram boots, but I've somehow missed this one. There is certainly better Gram music out there, but I can't say I've heard any that is more interesting than the sound he made with Barry Tashian playing guitar. I have to admit that I'm a HUGE fan of Barry and the Remains, but to me his guitar helps make this sound more like Gram fronting the Allman Bros in places. Interesting stuff.
The original tape was recorded by me, and I also took the photos. Unfortunately, my recorder was, shall we say, low budget, which accounts for the lack of quality, but as there aren't many live recordings of Gram, I guess the rarity compensates for it somewhat.

Hearing Gram and Emmylou rock through 'Hang on Sloopy' has restored my faith in whatever.
Right?!? They shred through that cover.
Amazing recording. Especially that medley man I just wanna dance to that. These folks were really talented.
add to that GP's contribution to the Stones, Wild Horses and Dead Flowers :my storylines
What a shame this isn’t on a cd I’d love to own one, go Gram❤
Thank you Jojo for cleaning up and posting this Gem. Heartfelt thanks.
Met Gram at this gig while living in Worcester. He drank Metaxa and George Dickel (“It’s ridickelous”). He was funny and drunk after gig.
That's crazy.. can you clear something up for me?
How tall was GP?
@@jojoheartspaypayIt was long ago and I was also drinking so, a little hazy. But I’m 6’2” and he was shorter so probably around 5’10” or so.

Gram best. We are now living intheage of anti music. These clowns today don’t deserve to tread the same earth as BP. Rest In Peace with god forever dear gram
Gram was genuine and uncompromising. Not rigidly disciplined but understood the songs like he'd lived them himself. A pure treasure.
@@margaretross9150 Exactly pray for gram always

thanks for this. some great versions... not emmylou in the photo
+carniveroushamster It's Gretchen, Gram's wife
a year later and i know that! rip gram
+carniveroushamster Just wondering what made you think that was Emmy Lou ? Have you never seen a picture of Her?
there were/are a few comments on the video saying that was emmy, not the lovely and jelly gretchen parsons
+CJ carp the picture caption say GP &EH can you not read?
Jojo, did you enjoy Gram singing Cry One More Time?
Every song.
Every. Single. One.
@@jojoheartspaypay I feel the same way
Sin City made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. God I miss him.
Wish this was a live recording I’d love to see him sing this just like it is
Ummm…it is live.😐
@@EmersumBiggins I meant to be able to actually see him in person, or even on tape, I loved the whole program,I would’ve given anything to be there
Thank you for. Posting this.
Thanks for this #gramparsons #gem !!!
Interesting... a photo of Gram and his estranged widow Gretchen, the person who prevented Emmylou's photo and name from being on the cover of Grevious Angel.
Looks more like "Sweet Connie" in that pic.
I can't give Gretchen too much slack.
She had just lost her husband after all.
Emmy says she never consummated the relationship with Gram and I believe her.
However I can understand Gretchen being suspicious.
I mean look at Emmy.
1978garfield how could she not be jealous? The chemistry between them is undeniable and amazing!
I truly believe that Gram and Emmy were born to sing together. Their voices merged and created nothing less than magic. Hearts On Fire is incredible. Few others have carried that banner. For me, Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley did it. The Everly Bros. too.
@@1978garfield i doubt that, why would she admit that? She doesn't want to be known as a barracuda.
I was born 9 days later. 3/29/1973
Thought I had heard all the Gram boots, but I've somehow missed this one. There is certainly better Gram music out there, but I can't say I've heard any that is more interesting than the sound he made with Barry Tashian playing guitar. I have to admit that I'm a HUGE fan of Barry and the Remains, but to me his guitar helps make this sound more like Gram fronting the Allman Bros in places. Interesting stuff.
Wow. Thanks!
I wish I had known who he was back then; I would have gone to see him. Too late now.
itś never too late
Thank you for sharing this!
Lovin' It!!!!! Thanks for uploading .
I'm knocked out. Holy shit. Let's party.
Track 9 is Don't Let Her Know, not how much I lied. Great stuff!
track 5 is the Jimmy Reed classic "Baby What You Want Me To Do".
Great hearing this, thanks for posting it!
Jojo did you know or speak to Gram at Olivers or any other place

+chris mackin haha knew i'd find you here...x
Thanks for this!!
Listenin on 3/20/2020
You knew Gram?
The woman in the photo with Gram is Gretchen,.
# 9 is not How Much I've Lied, but Don't let her know, a Buck Owens song.
When it was real!
Will this ever be released in its entirety? Please?
That is correct.
The 9th song is Don't Let Her Know by Buck Owens, not How Much I Lied
💕
cool
