I’m a longtime admirer of what I call second phase Rick Nelson, his self- created country rock era. Good as it is, Garden Party is the tip of that particular iceberg. His albums Rick Sings Nelson, Rudy the Fifth, and especially Live at the Troubadour are a strong as any early 70s country rock album.
Listen to his self-written Who Cares About Tomorrow/Promises. It kicks @$$.
I was at that Garden Party in the early 70s. It was billed as an oldies show and Ricky was the headliner. When he came on he had long hair and "didn't look the same". I remember he played Honky Tonk Woman and that's when the booing really started. But eventually he got to his old hits and the packed Madison Square Garden crowd cheered. And soon after, he had a big hit with Garden Party so I guess it kind of worked out.
Dylan covered Rick Nelson. Wow.

Thank you, completely forgot about that song
He was one of a kind in the history of rock and roll
Really nice to play his songs now

How Cool It Is to watch Bob Dylan singing one of Ricky Nelson's songs
People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
An' over in the corner
Much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes
Wearing his disguise
That Cat could Write, Bob wasn't too bad either
You make my day everyday, Gracias, Mi Amigo
Ricky oozed cool and had a really solid backup band
He had that Southern Cal Cool
His mother, Harriot was born in DM
the great James Burton on guitar, later went to Elvis and Gram Parsons and beyond.
tRUMP is beneath contempt, calling out The Boss and Taylor Swift
They are Icons
Being an Iowan it was somewhat thrilling to see Caitlin Clark and Taylor cheering the Chiefs in
Taylor's suite at Arrowhead
I worshiped Ricky Nelson and "Believe What You Say" is still one of my favorite rock and roll songs

More powerful cartoons. Artists telling the truth.
i'm with you brother! North Country sucked. I was shocked it lasted. Too many Bob kool-aid drinkers.
I was wondering who the back up band was
They were miles ahead of the time
James Burton and company were really solid on I Believe What You Say
I have been playing it over and over today, I was in High School when it was
released, then the Stones first album came out the year I graduated from
Dowling HS, and my path was set
