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 still remember seeing Steve (Chicago shorty) Goodman on A.C.L. years ago. Great entertainer and funniest guy I ever knew. VERY hard act to follow. Ask John Prine or Kris Kristopherson.
They have these available on Netflix. Netflix + DvD Shrink software (shareware) + Image Burn software (shareware) + DVD Burner = home copy for library.
Agree with Bdgregory. My fovorite has always been the ones where songwriters sat in a semi-circle, told stories and sang. Simple but it takes the music back to the souce.
