David Nelson would go on to play alongside Jerry Garcia in the New Riders of the Purple Sage, one of the original California country rock bands, and in the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band.
Omnivore Recordings and New Riders Of The Purple Sage released their new live album: "Hempsteader: Live At The Calderone Concert Hall, Hempstead, New York, June 25, 1976."
New Riders Of The Purple Sage emerged out of the San Francisco music scene in 1969 – their original lineup featuring several Grateful Dead members – and soon became one of the hottest live acts to catch. They released their debut in 1971 (peaking at #39 on the Top 200) and 1973's The Adventures Of Panama Red reached RIAA Gold status.
