A New Riders of the Purple Sage Concert Set from 1976: Review
Now we have Hempsteader: Live at the Calderone Concert Hall, Hempstead, New York, June 25, 1976, which as its wordy subtitle indicates, documents a 1976 Long Island, New York, gig. At the time, the New Riders were running out of steam when it came to producing noteworthy original material; an eponymous LP released that year was their last to dent the charts, and all but one of its songs were covers. Some key members remained on board, however, including co-founders John “Marmaduke” Dawson and David Nelson on vocals and guitar, Buddy Cage on pedal steel and Jefferson Airplane alumnus Spencer Dryden on drums. And, as evidenced by Hempsteader, the band could still raise a ruckus onstage with its psychedelia-tinged country rock.
