 />The New Riders of the Purple Sage\, signed to Columbia Records by Clive 
 Davis\, released its eponymous first album in September 1971 to widespread
  acclaim.  In the next 11 years the band toured and released over 12 album
 s\, selling over 4 million records.  NRPS began as a part-time spin-off fr
 om the Grateful Dead when Jerry Garcia (pedal steel guitar)\, Phil Lesh (b
 ass) and Mickey Hart (drums) teamed up with John Dawson (guitar\, vocals) 
 and David Nelson (guitar).  Although early live appearances were viewed as
  an informal warm-up to the main attraction\, the group quickly establishe
 d an independent identity through the strength of Dawson's original songs.
   By 1970 Dave Torbert had replaced Lesh\, and Spencer Dryden\, formerly o
 f Jefferson Airplane\, had joined as the group's permanent drummer.  Garci
 a remained in both The Dead and The New Riders until he found himself over
 committed\, at which time Buddy Cage replaced him and the classic NRPS lin
 eup was born. Original NRPS bass player Dave Torbert and drummer Spencer D
 ryden have passed away\, co-founder John Dawson Passed away in 2009 due to
  ongoing health problems. His considerable talents will be missed but his 
 songs and musical legacy will live on.  Before he passed he had given his 
 blessing and was excited to know his music is being heard live again by a 
 whole new generation of fans.</p>\n\n\nPhone: 8666666306\n\n20 Greenwoods
