Gram Parsons & the Fallen Angels - Last Roundup

First new Gram solo material in 40 years and the rst solo club appearance ever released. Denitive 2LP performance in its original sequence, including 11”x17” poster. Recorded March 16, 1973 at Bijou Cafe in Philadelphia, featuring a then unknown Emmylou Harris on vocals. In early 1973 Gram Parsons embarked on a tour to promote his recently released rst solo album GP. Gram put together a pretty great band, including the then unknown Emmylou Harris as his singing partner. The shows were somewhat uneven at rst, but by midtour the band started to nd its groove. One show stood out to pedal steel player Neil Flanz-The 3rd night at the Bijou Cafe in Philadelphia. Neil felt that this was the best show of the tour and requested a copy of the soundboard recording. He saved it for almost 40 years when it was acquired by Amoeba Music for a future Gram release. It then disappeared in the Amoeba vault for another 10 years before it was rediscovered when Amoeba moved to a new location in LA. It turns out Neil was right. This is Gram and Emmylou at their nest. And it’s one of the last club dates ever of Gram and the Fallen Angels. A 50 year old soundboard cassette oers some unique challenges, but thanks to the eorts of some of the world’s best archival sound restoration engineers, the beauty and energy of Gram, Emmy and the band shine through. For all of those who never got to experience Gram live, this is the closest we’ll ever get to being there.
