Perth, Australia 2/24/73; 50 min; 9.0 s; “Rocks Off”
A classic. This stereo soundboard recording first turned up in 1987 on a German LP and is now on several CDs. Great recording and performance. I think this Swingin’ Pig release is the best; it’s a combination of the 2/24 show with parts of the 2/26 show; there is no 2/24 2nd show as some boots claim. It sounds a little better than disc 1 of “Happy Birthday Nicky” below. (Note: Total time of Rocks Off is longer; 50 min is the length of the 2/24 portion).

Sydney 2/26/73; 65 min; 8.5 s; “Happy Birthday Nicky”/others
The CD may claim disc 2 is 2/24 2nd show, but there was no 2nd show that day; it’s actually Sydney 2/26. This is another stereo soundboard recording though not quite as good as 2/24; the tape has been copied a few more times. Avoid the Japanese “Winter Tour 1973” 2CD set if you ever see it; it’s the audience recording of the show. At least it has the last 2 songs missing from the soundboard recording. VGP’s “Rock ‘n Roll Stew” is the soundboard recording with the last two songs tacked on from the audience recording, and the missing beginning of Brown Sugar added in from Perth; said to be similar quality.X

I really should like Gram Parsons more than I do.  He encompasses so much of what I love about music.  He virtually created alternative country, or country rock. He sang with Emmylou Harris.  He made the Byrds tolerable awesome. He was in a band called the Flying Burrito Brothers and if that ain’t a great name, I don’t know what is. He had one of the most spectacular/strange burials of all time.

All of these things are excellent and should be praised (well maybe not the weird death, but that’s just legendary.) I should love Gram Parsons. Yet every time I listen to him there seems to be something missing. I can’t put my finger on it exactly. I like his voice, I like his songs, but something doesn’t gel. Maybe it is some faulty wiring in my old noggin.

This concert though, I can’t complain about. It is Gram (and sometimes Emmylou) singing and playing and having a grand time. The sound, well let’s just say you can tell the recording is older than I am, but it still sounds good. If you like Gram, and you really should, then this is an excellent chance to see what he sounded like live.
