Roscoe's Gang - NYC 1989


Lone Star Café
New York, NY
February 4, 1989
(early set)

audience recording (sound quality VG; transfer from 2nd-gen. tape)

THANKS to the taper and original uploader, whoever you might be!

REPERCUSSION: The show includes the Peter H song “Next to the Last Waltz” (marginally co-written by Eric Ambel, as he says here). Also, Peter was a guest musician on several tracks on Eric’s 1988 album Roscoe’s Gang. Will Rigby played tambourine on the album and drums on some of the group’s live appearances (but not this one). If you ask real nicely, I might post one with Will some time…

A worthy addition to any musical collection — CD, LP, cassette, 8-track, etc.

  1. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested
    to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so
    she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.

    I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  2. I'm asking nicely for the other Roscoe's Gang. I'm friends with rest of the band. Bobby the drummer now playing in NRBQ. thanks great selection of shows. Just saw Eric and chatted with him at Del Lords show few months ago.
