DVD Review- New Riders of the Purple Sage-Live at Turkey Trot
This dvd was filmed at the Turkey Trot Lodge in New York. This is a small and intimate venue. You get a close-up look at the New Riders performing their songs. This is a very "laid-back" and relaxing dvd to watch. It contains excellent jam music, including great steel guitar work. The New Riders really jam it out on extended versions of Portland Woman, and In the Garden of Eden. They perform an encor performance of Pamana Red. If you like good smooth relaxing jam music to watch, you'll enjoy this one. Also, the dvd cover art is beatiful. Another bonus is the CD of this concert which is included in the package. This is a great dvd/cd combo. This performance by the New Riders was quite a surprise. These guys can still bring it after almost forty years. There are two original members left (although technically David Nelson is the only original member since Buddy Cage stepped in for Jerry Garcia on steel guitar early in the group's history), but the fill-ins do very well. The venue is odd, it appears that there are about thirty people on hand at some turkey ranch in New York State.
