Friday Night Music-New Riders of the Purple Sage

I’m not sure I want to make a habit out of this. Old rock stars, whether of the top or second tier, are dropping off with some regularity, so this feature could start to resemble the obituaries.

John “Marmaduke” Dawson of the New Riders of the Purple Sage died recently, so it seemed appropriate to scour youtube for an appropriate video. I couldn’t find any live performances from the early seventies, when Jerry Garcia played with them. This one is from 2002.

I apologize if this video is a bit herky jerky, I imagine that lot’s of people are watching it at present so it might get hung up a bit.
