"In Concert at the Troubadour, 1969" is a live Country rock album by Rick Nelson recorded at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on December 13, 1969. It was the debut of his Stone Canyon Band, which included established and future Country Rock legends Randy Meisner, Tom Brumley, Allen Kemp, and Patrick Shanahan. This album was recorded two years before his comeback album "Garden Party", and was his highest-charting release in three years. The album contains four songs written by Nelson, three Bob Dylan compositions, as well as other songs by Eric Andersen and Tim Hardin. The Troubadour performance that night was a high-energy, nearly flawless performance by Nelson and his band, and was attended by many fellow musicians and songwriters.
