Can't wait to watch...have to wait until the restaurant closes! Absolutely love Gram Parsons. Has anyone checked out the excellent tribute album?

I've been listening to GP and Grievous Angel lately.

Sorry, FBB never did much for me.
I appreciate their role in the history of country-rock but on a pure musical level, neh.
And besides, I can't help but always associate them with their faint pleas for people to "stop hurting each other" at Altamont in the Gimmie Shelter film. I admit, that's just me.

It's the writing that gets me. All the weird behavior...well that was the times.
But the writing... It bears revisiting, I think.

I named my son after Gram Parsons! Though the wife wouldn't go with the unconventional spelling....
And Altamont was just a disaster - there were a lot of lame/ignored pleas from onstage. Even the Stones looked like fools there.

Chris, agree 100%
Everyone at Altamont came out looking bad.
Except Marty Balin. (To a certain extent.)
