(RCA signed Pure Prairie League after seeing them play in Cleveland, Ohio.
It was Craig, George, Billy Hinds on drums, and Phil Stokes on bass that played that night.
Phil Stokes reminisces, "The Cleveland Concert (booked by our manager at the time Rodger Abramson) that got us signed to RCA included Jon Call playing steel on that date because I can remember that long drive from Cincy toCleveland in his Mercury Cougar. Also, I was the original bass player when the band was first formed. Craig and I had just left theJD Blackfoot band (Mercury records) in September 1970." The first album was released the following year. "The most memorable thing about it was the Norman Rockwell cover from a 1927 Saturday Evening Post cover,").
