Austin City Limits #1 - Mel Tillis & The Statesiders - 09/12/1985 - please read description

Austin City Limits - Mel Tillis & The Statesiders - 09/12/1985.
When we played Austin City Limits, the broadcast shows were 30 minutes long. Therefore, they requested the artist featured would perform for at least 30 minutes, preferably 45 minutes. Mel played for 110 minutes (1 hour, 50 minutes). Of course, they only used a select 30 minutes of the concert for the broadcast show. Presented here (in 3 song segments) is the FULL 110 minute performance.
Mel's band, The Statesiders, at this time consisted of:
Jerry Reid, guitar; Brian Sterling, guitar; Kip Paxton, bass; Kenny Sears, fiddle; Paul Justice, fiddle; Jim Garstang, piano; Dennis Pratt, keyboards; Phil Coontz, steel guitar and George Beasley, drums. More videos to follow!
