| Excellent video Chip. Al Perkins added so much to Manassas's sound. |

I can't view this from work but if it's the one I think it is, you can get the entire show on DVD.
Also if you're an AL Perkins fan there is a DVD out recently of a Gram Parsons tribute. Al plays the Annepeg keyless and does some smokin' lap steel, and it features one of our forum buddies on keyboards!

| Manassas was on a tour through Europe, when this was recorded. I've seen them play at the JahrhundertHalle in Frankfurt. Can't remember which year. |

Chip, If you like Manasas alot, this is a link to a CD I bought last summer at the CS&N show that came to town. It is very good, the reviews are helpful on Amazon. I really like having a few extra songs to hear since they were around for such a short time. There are good liner notes inside also.
Plus, It's got lots of great Al Perkins on it.

| To me, Al Perkins's was really at a creative peak between his work with Manassas and his contributions to Gram Parson's "Return of the Grevious Angel". What an incredible player to this day...Mike Daly |

More cowbell, Greg Brady!...seriously Manassas was a big influence on me. The first (double LP)album is still my all time favorite.

| Saw the Souther-Hillman-Furay band many moons ago, and Al was fantastic on pedal steel and lead guitar. I've been a big fan since Last of the Red Hot Burritos. |
