Bear’s Sonic Journals: Dawn of the New Riders of the Purple Sage is a live album by the country rock band the New Riders of the Purple Sage. It was recorded at various venues in the San Francisco Bay Area from August 1969 to June 1970. It was released on January 17, 2020.

Dawn of the New Riders of the Purple Sage was recorded by the audio engineer (and LSD chemist) Owsley “Bear” Stanley. The album captures performances from the early days of the New Riders, with John “Marmaduke” Dawson on guitar and lead vocals, David Nelson on guitar and vocals, Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar, and Mickey Hart on drums. Initially Bob Matthews or Phil Lesh played bass guitar with the band, depending on circumstance. In April 1970 Dave Torbert became the band’s bassist. Matthews is featured on the first four CDs of the album and Torbert plays on the fifth disc.

On Dawn of the New Riders the band performs original songs by Dawson, along with covers by various country and western artists. A number of the tunes had not appeared on any previous NRPS album. Bob Weir sits in on some tracks from two different dates.

In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, “Nearly two dozen songs appear here never before officially released by the New Riders or the Grateful Dead and they are juxtaposed with several New Riders originals… And, even if the audio isn’t always clear, its betterment is evident over the course of the five compact discs, in keeping with the increasing clarity and confidence of the performances themselves…. Garcia was clearly still finding himself on pedal steel, but relished the prospect of continuing to learn the instrument: here he makes it weep on Dawson’s “Sweet Lovin’ One” and intertwine with David Nelson’s Fender on the sprightly “Louisiana Lady”, among others.”
