Sleeve Notes

Kris Kristofferson — "Live!"

You have heard many of his well-established songs sung by the all-time greats! Artists like Janis Joplin singing her infectious version of "Me And Bobby McGee," Johnny Cash's unforgettable rendition of "Sunday Morning Comin' Down" and Ray Price's classic interpretation of "For The Good Times."

Now, for the first time, you can experience Kris singing, in his inimitable style, a live concert performance of these classics and more! Recorded in 1972 at Philharmonic Hall in New York City, this concert, which includes duets with Rita Coolidge and performances by unscheduled guest artists Willie Nelson (who had not yet achieved "superstar" status) and Larry Gatlin (prior to his first hit record), proved to be a memorable event in music history. Though far from their own familiar territory, in attendance that night were such luminaries as Ronnie Hawkins and Ramblin' Jack Elliott, as well as Kris' protêgé John Prine, whose "Late John Garfield Blues" opens this once in a lifetime show.

So sit back, close your eyes and get swept-up in the magic of an historical evening with Kris Kristofferson in concert.
