Rick Roberts – Sandy’s Club, Beverly, Mass. 1974



Rick Roberts – Sandy’s Club, Beverly, Mass. 1974

Sandy’s Club, Beverly, Mass. – March 2, 1974

Acoustic solo performance – Rick Roberts sings a lot, plays a lot, and talks a WHOLE lot.

Rick Roberts replaced Gram Parsons in The Flying Burrito Brothers, and later became the Burritos leader when all original members had left. While still a member of the band, he released two solo albums (“Windmills” in 1972 and “She Is A Song” in 1973) and later went on to be the founding member of the highly successful Firefall.
In the 80s, he was a member of Gene Clark’s Byrds Tribute band.

Nowadays, Roberts’ poor heath condition prevents him from performing live, but he still releases download-only tracks available from his website at

  5. I'd love a re-up of this. Rick's solo stuff is very difficult to get a hold of.
