"IN THE EARLY 1970's, THE NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE HAD THE GOOD
FORTUNE TO BE THE OPENING FOR THE GRATEFUL DEAD ON CONCERT TOURS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. WE HAD JUST FORMED THE BAND AROUND OUR
LONGTIME FRIENDSHIPS AND JOHN DAWSON'S NEW SONGS. GREEN KIDS FOR THE
MOST PART, THE NEW RIDERS WERE VIRTUALLY DAZZLED AND AMAZED NIGHT
AFTER NIGHT. THE AUDIENCES WERE FANTASTIC AND THEY SOLICITED MANY
AN INSPIRED PERFORMANCE FROM EACH AND ALL OF US. EVERYONE INVOLVED
FELT THIS TO BE A VERY SPECIAL TIME. AND IT WAS."
"THIS ALBUM IS A PIECE OF THAT VERY TIME.
FEBRUARY 21 and 23, 1971 - CAPITOL THEATRE, PORT CHESTER, N.Y."
"THIS ALBUM IS DEDICATED TO THE LOVING MEMORY OF DAVID TORBERT."
"Vintage NRPS is an album by the country rock group the New Riders
of the Purple Sage. It was recorded live on February 21 and
February 23, 1971 at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York,
and released in 1986.
At the time of the Capitol Theatre shows, the New Riders of the Purple
Sage were regularly performing as the opening act for the Grateful Dead.
Jerry Garcia was a member of both bands. Garcia would play pedal steel
guitar with the New Riders, then play electric guitar and sing with the
Dead. A Grateful Dead concert from the same set of shows as Vintage NRPS
was released as the album Three from the Vault."
