Jerry Garcia played pedal steel with the New Riders for awhile. The New Riders also opened quite a few Grateful Dead shows, where Jerry would play pedal steel with that band, and then come back to do a full show with the Dead.

(edit: John Dawson also co-wrote Friend of the Devil with Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter)

The New Riders had some great country rock tunes, if you enjoy that sort of thing:

That would be a different Marmaduke!

Love the New Rider's for about 40 years now.. But the Marmaduke nick was unknown to me and is probly fairly niche. Would be easier for a lot of us to pick up on "Marmaduke of the New Rider's of the Purple Sage" or something similar.

John Dawson from New Riders of the Purple Sage.

OH man... and he's dead too!! And he died in San Miguel de Allende in MX!! I'd love to live there. What a beautiful city... HUGE americano colony there. But since the Americans moved in ... prices are UP and ... kinda like Costa Rica. Everywhere we go.... not sure about this. I'd like to go somewhere beautiful that wasn't so effing expensive. You know?

John 'Marmaduke' Dawson was one of the members of 'The New Riders of the Purple Sage', which was 'kind of a country band' that became popular during the S.F. hippie period. At some point the band included some members of The Grateful Dead and they have, just like the 'Dead', kind of a cult status, but obviously not a big. You should read up on them; they've made some interesting music!

They sure have! Went to countless concerts at the old Academy of Music and (later) Palladium in NYC. One of the greatest live bands ever.

And the "joke" Marmaduke was a cartoon featuring a Great Dane of that name that was in newspapers from 1954-2015 so some of us grew up with it.

I was lured into this thread with entirely different expectations, ones that were dashed upon the jagged rocks of disappointment, I might add.
