New Riders at Cowboy Saturday The New Riders of the Purple Sage, appearing in the Cowboy Bar this Saturday, attribute their continuing success suc-cess over the past 11 years to their well-known, hard-driving, San Francisco, rock and roll sound. Also, the New Riders tour extensively to keep in close touch with their fans. Rock and roll has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity. The New Riders' unique sound has survived with continued popularity since its accidental birth in San Francisco in 1969. The group was founded by vocalist vocal-ist and guitarist John "Mar-maduke" "Mar-maduke" Dawson and lead guitarist David Nelson, who established the collaboration of the New Riders with the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia. The two groups toured together and support ed each other in concerts and recording sessions for three years. The New Riders soon said that they had their own audience who demanded New Riders records and concerts. In 1970, at the end of a cross-Canadian train festival, festi-val, John "Marmaduke" Dawson and David Nelson met the future replacement for Jerry Garcia's pedal steel guitar, Buddy Cage. Cage, who was performing with Ian and Sylvia's Great Speckled Bird Band at the time, would join the New Riders later in 1972. The New Riders began recording their "White Album" Al-bum" in late 1970 and released it in early '71. They then began a successful national tour to promote the album after replacing Mic key Hart with former Jefferson Jeffer-son Airplane drummer Spencer Spen-cer Dryden. After the tour, the band joined the Grateful Dead in Europe, where they played concerts in England, Germany and France. The combination of guitarists guitar-ists John "Marmaduke" Dawson and David Nelson, pedal steel guitarist Buddy Cage, bass guitarists David Torbet and drummer Spencer Spen-cer Dryden, produced two more albums before their gold album, "Panama Red" in 1973. "Even though Panama Pana-ma Red" was never a hit single, it helped make our fourth album gold," said Dawson. "The song became a national anthem for pot smokers in the mid-seventies." The mid-seventies also brought some changes in the band's membership. Dryden gave up the drum set to become the group's manager and Patrick Shanahan and Allen Kern from Rick Nelson's Nel-son's Stone 'Canyon Band became the newest New Riders. After a brief ag-sence, ag-sence, pedal steel guitarist Cage returned to the band in late '79. After a two-year hiatus from the recording studio, the New Riders were at the Record Plant in Sausalito earlier this year and finished a new album, "Feelin' All Right," with producer Chuck Mellone for A & M records, their new label. The New Riders will do two shows at the Cowboy Bar on Saturday the 29th, at 8 and 11 p.m. Tickets are $7.50 in advance and $8.50 at the door. 'Eat a Peach' with the Allman Brothers Sept. 6 The Kimball Art Center's summer concert series at Parkwest concludes Sept. 6 with the Allman Brothers Band. The concert, scheduled sched-uled to begin at 3 p.m., will also feature David Grisman. Through personnel changes, triumphs and tragedies, trag-edies, The Allman Brothers Band has remained a musical musi-cal institution. They are one of the few legends that rock music has produced over the past decade, but beyond being the standard by which all those who followed in their path are measured, this band of southerners has refused to stand still, their new album is both a passionate passion-ate exploration of their place in the community of rock from Dixie, and a record that moves them forward. It's called tellingly, Brothers Of The Road. With Gregg All-man All-man and Dickey Betts continuing con-tinuing as the songwriting sparkplugs of the group, The Allman Brothers Band once again raises the musical stakes. Gregg Allman, along with his brother Duane, grew up in Nashville and moved with his family to Florida in the late 1950s. Duane and Gregg's first official band, The Allman Joys, didn't exactly shake the music world, nor did their later incarnation as Hourglass (Although that band's two LPs now fetch a handsome sum as collectors items). When Hourglass broke up, Duane became a well-regarded session guitarist in Muscle Shoals, Alabama (playing with Aretha, Wilson Pickett and other soul greats), while. Gregg settled in California. It was at a jam session in Jacksonville, Florida that the story of the band really began, when Duane, guitarist guitar-ist Dickey Betts, bassist Berry Oakley, and drummers drum-mers Butch Trucks and Jai Johnny Johanson got together to-gether on stage for the first time. About the music the quintet made that day, Duane later said, "Nobody'd ever heard anything like that before." Gregg was summoned sum-moned back to be the band's keyboard player-vocalist. With their career going great guns, the band followed follow-ed a summer tour by beginning to record their fourth album, "Eat A Peach" (the only T.S. Eliot-inspired Eliot-inspired LP title in rock?). While taking a brief vacation from the recording sessions, Duane Allman, on October 29, was killed in a motorcycle motorcy-cle accident on a Macon street. He was 24. The surviving members of the band played at Duane's funeral, and then took time off for rest and reflection. They soon decided to carry on as a quintet, and with their new line-up they completed com-pleted "Eat A Peach" and went on the road. "Eat A Peach" followed "Fillmore East" by becoming another Allman million-seller. Then just as recording on album number five was going to begin in Macon, tragedy struck the band again as bassist Berry Oakley Oak-ley died as the result of a -motorbycle mishap, just a few miles and a little over a year away from Duane's crash. Although shattered, the band was determined to carry on. In 1976, the players succumbed suc-cumbed to mounting internal and external pressures and went their separate ways with no reunion in immediate immedi-ate sight. Betts signed with Arista, formed the Great Southern Band, including "Dangerous" Dan Toler, David "Frankie" Toler and David "Rook" Goldflies, and made two albums; Allman went west with his own band, then returned to the south to sit in with various groups; Trucks assembled his own jazz-rock group. After a time, the air was rife with rumours about an impending Allman Brothers Band reconciliation, and the first real augur of this happening took place at a concert in Central Park. The headlining group was Dickey Betts & Great Southern, and near the end of Betts' set he was joined by Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks for versions of the Allman Band classics. A month later, the charter members of The Allman Brothers Band, joined by Dan Toler and Dave Goldflies, took the stage for a 90-minute set at the annual Capricorn barbe-que. barbe-que. An album was inevitable, inevit-able, and "Enlightened Rogues" (named after a self-characterization of Duane Allman's) was cut in Miami with producer Tom Dowd. It became their sixth gold album.
