Dolly Parton (1946 - 2026): "After The Gold Rush"

Dolly Parton: 1946 - 2026

From Late Show David Letterman in 1999, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton & Linda Ronstadt singing 'After the Gold Rush' by Neil Young.

A few items to note in performance.  The lyrics change on:

1. "in the nineteen seventies" changed to "in the twentieth century."

2. "And I felt like getting high" changed to "And I felt like I could cry.""getting high" 

(Quoting Wikipedia: "Parton also released a solo version of the song in 1996, though her version altered the line 'I felt like getting high' to 'I felt like I could cry' with the permission of Neil Young.") 

The Glass Harmonica (or Armonica) was played by Dennis James, who remembers the performance in an interview with Rich Bailey in 2002:

Rich Bailey: I remember when you appeared with her on Letterman and you discussed the Armonica a bit. How was that?

Dennis James: Well, it was a great surprise. A sort of unspoken message in the air to me before the broadcast was "Do not say anything on the air!”. After all, these things are Linda's appearances. When David L. leaned over his desk and directed a question to me I simply froze- on playback of the dub I can see myself caught and unable to speak. I received a glance from Linda that said to me it was OK and so when he tried again I called back a flip one liner and on things went from there.

 

Here is the original music video of the cover of Neil Young's 'After the Gold Rush' by Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt.
