“Midnight Flyer”:
“Too Many Hands”:
Boston Globe concert review: “Too Many Hands,” a cut from the new LP, offered an expanded blues sound, a far cry from “Desperado.”

Ad from the Boston Phoenix, March 10, 1981:
Randy appeared at the Paradise with his six-piece touring band, The Silverados. They were: Don Francisco on percussion, Bryan Garofalo on bass, Therese Heston on backing vocals, Craig Hull on guitar, Craig Krampf on drums, and Sterling Smith on piano and keyboards. The following review from the Boston-area music magazine, Music Week (June 1981), was very positive overall. Although Randy struggled at times with a strained voice (he had been battling a cold and laryngitis for the much of the tour), he was energetic and clearly had a good time.
Randy at The Paradise:
“The encore was dedicated to the audience: ‘For you and only for you.’ This was followed with ‘Deep Inside My Heart,’ performed with much feeling from Randy and Therese. The finale was the title song from Randy’s album, ‘One More Song.’ On the whole, the evening was entertaining and piqued the curiosity of many.” –Cori Crumb, Music Week, June 1981.
Randy with Therese Heston:
This was Randy’s first time at the Paradise in Boston. He would play there again with Poco in 1990.
