    In 1984 my uncle and I were stationed on the same ship together in Mayport Fl., we tapped this concert on a vcr and watched it over and over. I don't know how many gallons of Jim Beam we drank watching it, but it probably would float the Constellation!

    I was stationed aboard the USS Constellation at the time of this concert. We got to watch them for several days while they practiced. The show was great. Two stages and continuous music.

    Hank, Jr. has always been a superb talent, no doubt!!! So glad he was finally able to move away from the shadow of Sr., just far enough to find his own niche and sound, and capitalize on it, but never too far to forget what a great composer and singer his father was!!!! I went to one of his shows in 1981 at The Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas. I was a Sr. in H.S., but remember how blown away i was with his musicianship, playing every instrument on the stage!!! Gave me the inspiration to play music myself, working in bands and doing solo gigs over the last 35 years!!! Rock on Bocephus and Thanks!!!!

    I remember this show! I taped it on our VCR. (LOL! VCR's! Anybody here remember those? Boy, those were the days, weren't they?). I was just a young, teenage girl back in the 80's, and I love country music. This show had so many greats - Mel McDaniel, Sylvia, Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Alabama, and of course Hank Williams Jr. I know there are others, I just can't remember who they are at the moment. It's been ages since I saw this. Anyway, it was a great show with a lot of talented artists. Thanks so much for uploading this. Our VCR broke down years ago, and I haven't been able to see this in a long time.

I bet an hour went by before they could come back play one more with him and get him to come on off stage.
