The most amazing thing when I'd see this particular group was the way Lloyd and Jesse played together. Sometimes you couldn't tell the difference tween the lead guitar and the steel, the way Lloyd plays. RIP Jesse, I love ya man.
Exactly how I remember them. The Joe Ely Band played many times at Fat Dawg's in Lubbock when I worked there in 1976. They would only book him when Tech was on break, otherwise the crowd would be too large. This video is almost the exact playlist they played then. Man, they were good! Sometimes they would finish at Fat Dawg's and go play after hours at Stubb's. I remember them blowing the roof off that place with Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue.
Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s I went to see Joe Ely several times at various places in Austin. He has always been one of my favorites. Thanks for this video!
Oh man, I'm just discovering this now. I moved to Houston, in 1980 and made it a point to get to know the state. Fell in love with all the varieties of Texas music. Even Austin still had a little bit of its Old Magic left. Of course that would be gone before the end of the decade. I saw Joe Ely in Luckenbach with an opening act called Tejana (Texana?) Dames or Gals, something like that. I believe it was a sister act. Heh, that memory just shook loose from the cobwebs... It was a GREAT show.
@@twaang I third this request. Frederick could you let us know where we could get a copy of the Gary Stewart part. (Ed Gray maybe?) Thanks for the Video.
There's been many a night and day that Joe Ely's music had graced my turn table, and sering him live was a night to remember. Thanks, Joe and band.

Hell yes, I love Jesse.
The late great Jesse "Guitar" Taylor.
Fun to see Jesse as a young-ish man here!
Bob Wills was the first ever to do that. Guitarist Eldon Samblin and steel legend Leon McCauliff in a song aptly called The Twin Guitar Special.
EXCELLENT ..this is so good it becomes historical, his best period. PERIOD

Wow! I actually watched this show on television back in 1977! Had never heard of Joe Ely before this. I have often wished that I could see it again.

The first time I saw Joe was at a private party in Amarillo in 1976, wish I had known.

Hey Frederick Matt, do you have "Joe Ely and Jerry Jeff Walker Austin City Limits 1980"?
Fantastic! If you have the Gary Stewart portion that would be wonderful. Thanks Fred!
Terrence Branen - I second that request about the Gary Stewart segment. 👍🏻
