  • "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-linda.com/djames....
    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."

    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.

      I'm huge fan of Emmylou. Their blend is otherworldy but they have different musical personalities, It's not like a sibling blend. Emmylou is emotive and sad, plus she is beautiful.

    This version of Neil Young's great song still makes my eyes well up. Those three ladies are marvelous.

    There’s a reason for the no stage fog effect in this performance - - - they hadn’t had any on the rehearsal run brought the afternoon before the live broadcast performance. Just as they were setting he final seconds and as the lights dropped to the stage lighting they turned on the fog - - and I KNOW from prior experience my glass armonica instrument would not play with stage fog (made of oil droplets) for the oil gets on the glass bowls and prevents them from being able to have the stick/slip rub of the wet skin on my fingers that causes them to vibrate when rubbed with distilled water. So, fortunately not heard since they hadn’t yet turned on the microphones, I yelled out “Turn OFF the FUCKING FOG!!!!!!” . . . And they did, (Dennis James, glass armonicist seen in the clip)

    I play this at least once a month. I close my eyes and just melt away with the beautiful harmonies. It's like being in church.
