Emmylou Harris along with the Hot Band perform a live version of "Restless" from a show in 1989. It features Frank Reckard on lead guitar who I think is one of the best Emmylou has ever had in her band. Frank is unusual in that he plays a Gibson with a Sully "B" bender. I have remastered the audio for headphones.
