- Big Boys at AMA - MASTER (1984)
This is the MASTER tape recorded at the Austin Opera House at the Austin Chronicle Music Awards. Songs include: The Seed, Movies, TV, History, Complete Control, Frat Cars, and I Do Care. The recording lasts for approx. 20 minutes but the video cuts out at the end with minimal audio remaining, after the show was stopped and closed down. See the BIg Boys at AMA show ISO tape for a different camera view which has NO AUDIO on this TH-cam channel.
Here is Tim Kerr’s recollection of the event which was posted on Facebook, February 20, 2017
In 1984, we were asked to play the Austin Chronicle’s Award show. At this point we were putting on our own shows and knew that most of the folks that supported the "scene" that we were a part of, would not be able to afford the ticket price, much less care to come to something like this. After a lot of deliberation, and we did have friends at the Chronicle, we decided to do it. The stage crew and bouncers for the night were the same ones that had so overreacted at our Fiesta Gardens performance earlier that year. Unbeknownst to us, they wanted revenge and to throw out the small group of people that had come to see us. These people had come up front to participate and to get the candy that Biscuit was handing out.
At first, these “security” people attacked the audience only when any of them got up on stage with us, but they then quickly turned on the people just trying to get candy as well. I was actually punched by one of the bouncers, and though it was not a very successful hit (I was too close for him to wind back), I realized how absurd the whole thing had gotten. We walked off and did not finish our set. Even people there that had no idea about our scene were asking, "what the hell was up with the bouncers.”
The Chronicle at the time never published all the letters they had received after that night, never really mentioned it in their articles, and never apologized.
I was asked this week if I would give a "quick" interview for their article on the anniversary of the awards show. Here was my response...
*Considering that they did not write about it, post all the letters they received right after the "incident,” OR even apologize, I doubt what I have to say about it would result in a soundbite that they would even publish now. (smile)
Thanks but I respectively decline.

@nocar2trucks You're absolutely right, I got Damage 43 mixed up with The Seed. Thank you for the correction!

I'll never forget the first time I saw the Big Boys, they blew everyone away and always put on a huge show and output so much energy, there is no greater Austin Experience Highlight than those of us share jumping on stage and singing Hollywood Swinging on stage with the band and zealous dancing fans for an encore :) Man someday I'll tell you about their show at Club Foot opening for the Plasmatics...EPIC!!!
Hands down one of the greatest bands ever. So glad to see this upload. Finally!
Valley Jeff exactly. This band had such an impact on me as a kid. Great musicians.
So original.
☆I could watch this (over) and over! Such a unique and prolific Texas band. RIP Randy Biscuit Turner. They definately deserve a documentary, book, or something like it♡ Thanx for letting us all see this piece of history. Precious little is out there, especially at this high level of lovin quality♡ Now I gotta go and start my band! Peace an Shove♧♡☆
One of those bands I’m REALLY glad I got to see back then. Nicest guys ever
RIP Biscuit and close friend Margaret Mosar
I never heard of this band until they were mentioned in “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts” by the band X.
Thank you for posting this!! Wow!! Great stuff!!
It's unfortunate that the instruments are so out of tune and the SBD patch is not so stellar, since the video capture / quality clearly blows all other Big Boys footage out of the water... all issues aside, this is still an incredible artifact - one of a kind for sure! I'm absolutely blown away. Thank you so much for posting this!
I do believe it was intentional that the guitars are out tune
They wouldn't let the Big Boys play until the end of the night when most of the people had left. Everyone was pissed off. Biscuit got a bunch of garbage and dumped it out on the stage. Folding chairs were flying everywhere!
God bless you for posting this.
Yesssss.esos BigBoys!
This fucking rules. Thanks for posting this.
Love that this is in the A H C archive and channel!!

Man, Tim Kerr really hates bouncers! Hahah
