Austin City Limits


The thread titled "Best Concert Movie" reminded me that I wanted to put in a little plug for the "Live in Austin, Texas" DVD series. These are archived episodes from the "Austin City Limits" TV show on PBS. Haven't seen much discussion about these, but the ones I own are all excellent:

Richard Thompson
John Hiatt
Delbert McClinton
Lucinda Williams

I just found out that one featuring Guy Clark is being rleased in March. Can't wait!

I also have the Stevie Ray Vaugn. Very intersting contrast betwean the two shows. The first show is when he was in the throws of drug addiction and it shows in the way he is acting on stage. He seems unfocused, looks pale, and just doesn't seem like he's enjoying himself. On the otherhand, with the later show, he is relaxed, looks healthy and seems like he's having alot of fun. It breaks my heart that he finally got it together and then passed.
Austin City limits was also my first exposure to Buddy Guy. It was one of those "oh my god moments." Don't know what year that was.

I also own the Susann Tedshi concert which is great if you like female blues singers. And Willie Nelson.
