Happy with the crowds reaction, the Riders performed for the second time at Herr Harry's the next evening. Between the second and third performances, the band still didn't have a name, but that changed in December 1977, when Fred LaBour found a copy of <a href="/wiki/Sons_of_the_Pioneers" title="Sons of the Pioneers">The Sons of The Pioneers</a> album <i><a href="/wiki/(Ghost)_Riders_in_the_Sky:_A_Cowboy_Legend#1949" title="(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend">Riders in the Sky</a></i>. When LaBour saw the album, he immediately called Green and told him that Riders In The Sky should be the band's name. Green agreed and from their third performance on, they were officially billed as Riders In The Sky. In 1978, Bill Collins left the Riders shortly after "Tumbleweed Tommy" Goldsmith joined. Shortly after Collins left, "Woody Paul" Chrisman also joined the band. In mid-1979, Tommy Goldsmith left the Riders shortly before the recording of their first album, which would become <i><a href="/wiki/Three_on_the_Trail" title="Three on the Trail">Three on the Trail</a></i>. Goldsmith would perform on the Riders' second album, <i><a href="/wiki/Cowboy_Jubilee" title="Cowboy Jubilee">Cowboy Jubilee</a></i>, in 1980, but not as a member of the band. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rise_in_popularity_(1980–1989)"><span id="Rise_in_popularity_.281980.E2.80.931989.29"></span>Rise in popularity (1980–1989)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Riders_in_the_Sky_(band)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Rise in popularity (1980–1989)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Induction_into_the_Grand_Ole_Opry_(1982)"><span id="Induction_into_the_Grand_Ole_Opry_.281982.29"></span>Induction into the Grand Ole Opry (1982)</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Riders_in_the_Sky_(band)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Induction into the Grand Ole Opry (1982)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1982, Doug Green wrote a letter to Hal Durham, manager of the <i><a href="/wiki/Grand_Ole_Opry" title="Grand Ole Opry">Grand Ole Opry</a></i>, telling him the Riders would like to join.
