Why ‘Rick Nelson, In Concert: The Troubadour, 1969’ Is The Greatest Live Album You’ve Never Heard
Backed by the incredible talents of his Stone Canyon Band, Nelson proves he’s more than Ozzie and Harriet’s heartthrob son.
An Absolutely Amazing CD… and Me
About three summers ago, I received this gem in the mail. I ordered it after watching a Rick Nelson documentary during a late-night Google Eagles binge-search (I fell in love with the music of the Eagles fairly recently, in 2015, and Rick Nelson ties into their history. But more on that later.).
Since then, this double album has been one of my all-time favorite music compilations.
Ever.
A double CD!
42 songs! 12 from the original 1970 live LP, and 30 previously unissued newly mixed alternate 1969 Troubadour performances!
Nice.
I seldom purchased CDs then (or now), preferring instead to get the bulk of my music online (legally, o’course). Yet, the first time I popped in this CD and listened to the first few songs, I was instantly glad to have bought it. Whoever remastered these 42 songs from the original, now-50-year-old 8-track tapes back in 2011…
