Silverado is a European that was released sometime in the 90s. The tracks were taken directly off King Biscuit Flower Hour albums. You can even hear some of the "pops" on the CD. It is billed as "Tommy's Last Show" but in reality only nine songs are from that evening. The other five songs are from a show in Dallas recorded in 1981 (with Franklin Wilkie, who replaced Tommy, on bass). The quality is fine, though I don't believe any better than the CD-Rs that were recorded directly from the King Biscuit LPs that are available via traders. The artwork is generic and includes no pictures of the band. The CD insert carries the set list, band members names and some of the narrative from the King Biscuit LP. Silverado has sold for as much as $175.00 on E-Bay and as little as $15.00. I purchased mine through the Tunnel Records website in Florida, which has since gone out of business.
The track listing is:
1. Heard It In a Love Song
2. Take the Highway
3. Cattle Drive
4. See You One More Time
5. Sing My Blues
6. Fire On the Mountain
7. In My Own Way (incorrectly listed as I'm On My Way on the CD!)
8. This Ol Cowboy
9. Can't You See
10. It Takes Time
11. Tell the Blues to Take Off Tonight
12. I'll Be Loving You
13. Silverado
14. Searchin' For a Rainbow
Tracks 1 - 9 are from Tommy's Last Show and were recorded at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island. tracks 10 - 14 were recorded at Wintergarden Theater in Dallas in 1981. The band's performance is awesome, as you'd expect. Searchin' For a Rainbow is one of my favorite songs live and this demonstrates why. It features an extended guitar solo not found on the studio version, which was barely four minutes long. The live version is over six minutes. This also captures Doug doing lead vocals on This Ol Cowboy. Toy sang the studio version and did so live as well for several years but sometime in 1976 Doug began singing it live.
I can't see any real reason for a Tucker fan to buy this, especially now that Stompin' Room Only is available. It's sound quality is vastly superior. I purchased mine in 1997 and would not do so today because of the wealth of live material available for trade (and the aforementioned SRO).
