Live at the Palais

About Live at the Palais

Live at the Palais is a live album by American singer-songwriter Michael Nesmith, initially released in 1978. It was recorded in 1977 at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, Australia. The material covered on the album was primarily derived from the half-dozen albums Nesmith recorded for RCA Records in the early 1970s. The album reunited Nesmith with drummer John Ware, whom he had worked with on the albums Magnetic South, Loose Salute, and Nevada Fighter, and also marked one of his first collaborations with guitarist John Jorgenson and keyboardist John Hobbs; both would play in the group the Hellecasters with help from Nesmith. Although the album did not sell very well, Nesmith would ridicule the recording in his comedy video, Elephant Parts. more »
