I caught this last month. The steel playing is almost identical, note for note, to the '72 live album, `Last Of The Red Hot Burritos`.

This is great stuff. I love this style of pedal steel playing. Al was getting some good sounds out of that Fender 1000.

If you mean the Youtube video, it's hilarious. They're lipsyncing to the original album version - Chris starts out great, then falls apart on the third line or so; Pete's "playing" doesn't match the recorded version at all (but it IS the only appearance anywhere I've seen of the hat from the Nudie "Dino" suit) but he's obviously just enjoying the heck out of the whole goofy thing; Gram is apparently just slightly "herbally influenced", cracking up, mugging his way through his verse and laughing through most of it, while strumming a Tele with his fingers and playing nonexistent chords; Etheridge is "bemused" and Clarke has this serious "I'm gonna pretend this is real" look on his face.

It does have some cool video of the the album cover photo session at the beginning, though.

I just found a little bio thing on you tube about Pete, very interesting to say the least, didn't know all that stuff about him.Also found some more videos of the burrits, its just fun seeing them. Also found a trailer for Fallen Angel about Gram has anybody ever seen that? Love the FBB. Will
