Jerry Jeff was the backdrop to my life in the 70's , he was on fire back then. I guess nothing lasts for ever, but thanks for the memories Jerry Jeff RIP
Just loved the hell outa Jerry Jeff since I was about 23, now 73. The album, "Five Years Gone" changed my life & my music. This recording, but especially the afore mentioned album. There's a great version of Bojangles with a due of JJ & David Bromberg playing on a radio station. Now, the scuttlebutt is that they're both drunk & their performance is sublime, obviously not drunk enough to fall down or screw up the song, JJ is relaxed and plays the song perfectly while the wonderful David Bromberg's fingers just dance across the fret board, it's life changing. My music started to include some of these songs & my lead guitar emulated Mr. Bromberg.
Man I hear ya I’d never heard of JJW until I moved to Texas in 76 at the ripe ol age of 16. My co-worker turned me on to him and I was instantly hooked..he was a one of kind , maybe a bit like some other musicians but that’s about it..✌🏼✌🏼
Back in the '90's on a random road trip cruising in my '65 Mustang in the Texas Hill Country, I pulled into Luckenbach just to chill out; oddly, the approach was strangely crowded with cars parked all along the roads leading into the store. Parking and walking a long way in, I began to pick up the strains of L.A. Freeway and instantly knew the explanation. Talk about a serendipitous detour on my part. The dance hall was too packed to enter so we just sat outside, drank beer, and soaked up Jerry Jeff. True story. I have seen Jerry Jeff multiple times since but nothing matches that experience, and it was pure chance.
... every time was an experience and always Beautiful ... Taste of Minnesota in 1980 ??? ... Medina Ballroom x 3 Desert Rose ... and some other random shitholes in Minnesota were transformed to the Greatest Music Venues for a few fantastic hours ... Minnesota Zoo ... Woohoohoooo
Jerry Jeff Walker knew Alan Bell and they were the musicians that kicked off the greatest musical renaissance in centuries. Alan Bell I married, we have two beautiful sons. They're all grown up. My marriage was so full of music and I am so thankful.
He was just a great musician. Wrote great songs and that one of a kind voice was spectacular. It’s a shame we’ll never hear any new music from Jerry Jeff ..RIP Buckaroo ✌🏼✌🏼
We were blessed to attend the 50th anniversary of Viva Terlingua recording in Luckenbach tonight. Amazing performances and memories. Ending the night with loyal fans singing the chorus to Sangria Wine was priceless. Michael Martin Murphy was awesome and I loved the respect he showed to his friend Jerry Jeff Walker Oh oh oh oh oh, I love Sangria Wine!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jealous of the Luckenbach time - but that is life! i can say that i did make it to JJW -Come Away w / me in Belize in 2000. Only bad news- No swimming pool or sandy beaches (at that time) in Belize!- My 65 year old mother had a blast and hung in there with the best!!!!- LEG
Listening to my mom's 33s as a kid it was Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Joan Baez and this one guy country singer. I must have memorized every song on Ridin' High, Got sent to the principal's office in elementary school for singing Pissin' in the Wind in the hall. Had no idea what it was about at that age. Jerry Jeff was pretty much our Dylan up in NW Texas growing up. Vaya con dios,.
Jerry Jeff was my first & favorite musical hero. I love the songs of Townes, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Shake Russell, Dana Cooper and a few others, but I never wanted to BE Bob Dylan or any of the others. I wish I could write songs like they did but I never wanted to trade places with them. But I always wanted to be Jerry Jeff Walker.
@@blueridgebikeman Oh I haven't forgotten Blaze. I had the opportunity to sit and talk with him on a few occasions. I never got to know him well, but he felt like a friend to me.
I got to see Jerry Jeff Walker in Charlottesville Virginia at the mineshaft next to UVA back in the late 80s. Excellent show. He signed my leather billfold. I kept it for many years until it fell apart and faded. Love Jerry Jeff Walker!
JJ winked at me one time as I was passing by the stage dancing and I thought I would faint! Boy did I have a crush on him and still do. Love from Austin, Texas.
I saw this show at the Great American Music Hall in SF with my then new wife. I had already been a fan for 20 years, so the drunken yahoos across the balconies were annoying, but it was a great show and I remember it fondly. So tough to deal with the passing of Jerry Jeff and John Prine in the same year.
Good Night you old Buckaroo May you rest in peace - just follow that armadillo home, the rest of us will get there when we get there, keep the camp fire burnin' Sad day in the neighborhood.
Saw him at SDSU a friend after the show who was working the stage came up to me after the show and said you want to meet him I said sure. Went back to this little room there he was he was super nice asked my name and said you want a beer I said sure. Still carrying my notebook he said you learning anything I said not really he laughed and gave me another beer he even opened what a great guy.
Jerry Jeff, had that "Something" back in the days on the Beaches of Ft. Lauderdale Fl. when he was My pal Ronnie Crosby, He played the Baritone Ukulele back then. I inherited it when he purchased his first Guitar. The rest is History. He's one of a kind.
Thanks for posting this, not a bad song on it, it’s a keeper.. I’m from Ireland but was lucky enough to see Jerry Jeff when he played in Dublin.. I went in a Dylan, Young fan and came out a Dylan, Young and Walker fan.. all the way home I couldn’t get ooh a lady who.. out of my head..I was hooked.. sadly missed
I was nearby the Great American Music Hall that night in June 1991, but sadly did not make the show. But thanks to my friend Ron at that time, who somehow managed to speak to Jerry Jeff backstage prior to this show....asking him to stop by the Edinburgh Castle Pub after the show and cheer up his buddy, Bob. Imagine my surprise to meet the great man on the next stool! ‘‘Twas a wonderful night singing “The Old Grey Cat Was Sneaking Down The Hall” with Jerry & Barman, Alan Black from Glasgow Scotland! Thanks for happy times Jerry, Ron & Alan Black.

Happy trails, Jacky Jack. The world is a lesser place without you. Many thanks to Tom Flint for the great recording. I was always at the Great American whenever JJW played. He once sang a few bars of "Song Sung To Friends" to my wife and I when we met and chatted with him at the bar before the show; my wife had requested for him to sing it that night. She didn't expect to get such an immediate response! He was that kind of guy.
I was lucky enough to have been at this very concert ... maybe the 10th time I had seen him live. This one was my favorite and so were all the others. Some things just seem to be the soundtrack of your life.
Found this at work a few months ago and can't stop listening to it. As a Millennial who hates how a lot of music today lost the storytelling in songs, I love this. There's still great songs coming out (not just country, I like a thought-out rap song just as much as Waylon), but they are much more rare than they were back then
I'm probably too late to the show, but if you haven't heard JJW do Desperadoes Waiting for a Train yet, you're in for a treat. It's one of my favs of his.
If I were to tell how I found Jerry Jeff, and the hysterical odds of it happening the way it did......a sensible person would believe in angels. And it would be a short story in itself. Suffice to say, i have been a fan of Jerry Jeff's for 25 years now, a relative newcomer, but it was meant to be. I am up here in Toronto, Ontario, and my dream of meeting him is fading a bit, but I sometimes just bathe in his music for days at a time..
I'd love to hear that story. I guess you know by now if you want to meet him personally you'll have go to heaven. Oh, and I consider myself a sensible person AND I definitely believe in angels
Never another like him. And how about John Inmon. What a picker! I feel very lucky to have lived in Austin in the old days and have seen them live many times. Far better days than now. Raising hell and loving every minute of it!
I just stumbled upon this live consert, and MAN!!! i've been listning to it all summer! Absolutley love it!!! Would have been great to hear him live. Thank you for all the great music!!. Sure does make life just a whole lot better! RIP
This is an amazing show, I cannot get enough of it. Thank the guy who actually pressed Record and got this, how lucky are we?? Side question - how in the world is John Inmon playing 3rds so quickly in some of his solos?? Like, there are these flourishes that I can't understand how he manages to rip through these solo lines of diatonic thirds and my head just spins. 1991 was too early for decent harmonizers to exist. Around the 1:43:00 mark you can hear one. When I first listened to this show, I thought there were 2 electric guitarists. Nope, just John Inmon. Honestly, I can't believe I made it to 51 years of age and completely missed the boat on this stuff - even though I was in a band that played a few JJW tunes! Better late than never, eh?
Saw him around this time in Tennessee. Just JJ and John Inmon on guitar in a little club. Great night marred only when Jerry had to remind a particularly loud drunk that "I ain't a damn jukebox, man". RIP, JJW. Thanks for all those songs.
Ha, that sounds just like Jerry Jeff! Thanks for that memory. Jerry was a good guy, but he didn’t put up with crap from people who thought that just because they bought a ticket, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
I only came across JJ walker after searching his name. I heard from Kris Kristofferson. Love his tune. It dumbfounds me why he's not heard of more. Maybe in America it's different.
I've let so many folks know of Jerry Jeff, all my life. So many have been so thankful that I did. A couple could NOT believe that he was not from Texas. I love wearing my JJW t-shirt. Take care!
Is this a bootleg recording? Saw this line up in 94. One of the greatest experiences ever. This is a pinnacle moment IMHO. top of their game. And damn that John Inmon is about as perfect a player there can be.
I remember John Inman being particularly flawless that night. I stayed after to get some tips on his faux pedal steel technique and surprisingly he took a break from breaking down his rig and showed me a couple that I still employ to his day. Great night of JJW!!!
Did anyone else hear Jerry at the '82 US Festival Sunday morning at 10:00 AM? His show was epic even though the crowd was sparse and mostly severely hungover. Though there were 300,000 people in the crowd the night before and maybe a few thousand that morning. How I wish that video and audio were available.
This is about the time when I tell you that I remember when I saw him live.....I met this young woman and we ended up having two children together, we bought a house...which later was foreclosed on...but lets not look back with regrets.................none of this is true. I used to like him however...
saw JJW several times, one of the best was the Boardwalk Cafe in Nashville mid 80's. I think Guy Clark sang this song with him. Also danced to hands on the wheel for my wedding. 25 years later Todd Snider sang it for his encore in Cincy per my request.
Jerry Jeff was the backdrop to my life in the 70's , he was on fire back then. I guess nothing lasts for ever, but thanks for the memories Jerry Jeff RIP
Me, too. Gettin by on gettin by is still my stock and trade.
Just loved the hell outa Jerry Jeff since I was about 23, now 73. The album, "Five Years Gone" changed my life & my music. This recording, but especially the afore mentioned album. There's a great version of Bojangles with a due of JJ & David Bromberg playing on a radio station. Now, the scuttlebutt is that they're both drunk & their performance is sublime, obviously not drunk enough to fall down or screw up the song, JJ is relaxed and plays the song
perfectly while the wonderful David Bromberg's fingers just dance across the fret board, it's life changing. My music started to include some of these songs & my lead guitar emulated Mr. Bromberg.
Man I hear ya I’d never heard of JJW until I moved to Texas in 76 at the ripe ol age of 16. My co-worker turned me on to him and I was instantly hooked..he was a one of kind , maybe a bit like some other musicians but that’s about it..✌🏼✌🏼
nobody writes songs like jerry jeff anymore and we really need them in our lives so when I am down I can play his songs.
Back in the '90's on a random road trip cruising in my '65 Mustang in the Texas Hill Country, I pulled into Luckenbach just to chill out; oddly, the approach was strangely crowded with cars parked all along the roads leading into the store. Parking and walking a long way in, I began to pick up the strains of L.A. Freeway and instantly knew the explanation. Talk about a serendipitous detour on my part. The dance hall was too packed to enter so we just sat outside, drank beer, and soaked up Jerry Jeff. True story. I have seen Jerry Jeff multiple times since but nothing matches that experience, and it was pure chance.
... every time was an experience and always Beautiful ... Taste of Minnesota in 1980 ???
... Medina Ballroom x 3
Desert Rose ... and some other random shitholes in Minnesota were transformed to the Greatest Music Venues for a few fantastic hours ...
Minnesota Zoo

great story! serendipity and music are two peas in a pod.
I was in a 65 mustang, smoking, smoking hot, great on curves, and she would open up on a straight away. I still think about her car. Love.
That's a beaut of an experience. Here's to Jerry Jeff!
Wow, what a piece of magic, wish I was there with ya!
Jerry Jeff Walker knew Alan Bell and they were the musicians that kicked off the greatest musical renaissance in centuries. Alan Bell I married, we have two beautiful sons. They're all grown up. My marriage was so full of music and I am so thankful.

I feel like Hank Williams tonight. One of the greatest songs that practically nobody knows about.
Listening to my mom's 33s as a kid it was Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Joan Baez and this one guy country singer.

I definitely agree 👍💯

Love Jerry fantastic singer songwriter I'm a bass player and still play songs by Jerry
R.I.P. Jerry Jeff - a toast with Sangria Wine to one of America's great singer/songwriters
Beautiful
Amen!!!
Jerry Jeff, my favorite songwriter. He sang it from the heart and will move yours. RIP BROTHER JEFF!!
I got to see Jerry Jeff Walker in Charlottesville Virginia at the mineshaft next to UVA back in the late 80s. Excellent show. He signed my leather billfold. I kept it for many years until it fell apart and faded. Love Jerry Jeff Walker!
GOD BLESS JERRY JEFF WALKER. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL COUNTRY MUSIC. 🇬🇧🏴
Even now, January 2022, when I play a JERRY JEFF WALKER album, tears come to my eyes.
Me too!
Tears or is it rain?
JJ winked at me one time as I was passing by the stage dancing and I thought I would faint! Boy did I have a crush on him and still do. Love from Austin, Texas.
You go, girl!
Me too!

Sad day in the neighborhood.
Jerry Jeff ? Well, he could rock, he could roll could do country. He had a whole bunch of soul. The music lives on:)
Looks like I have a guardian angel The 1st time I saw Jerry jef South Padre island in Texas on the beach
Saw him at SDSU a friend after the show who was working the stage came up to me after the show and said you want to meet him I said sure. Went back to this little room there he was he was super nice asked my name and said you want a beer I said sure.

Steven Crounse
As much as I feel his passing, yours is how many times worse? 2020 has claimed yet another light. May he rest in peace.
That Uke is too
Wow, lucky you!
I saw Jerry Jeff at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa back in the late 70's. Been a fan for a long time. He will be missed.
Fuckin love jjw. This first song gettin by is my favorite of his I heard.. fuckin love this dude.. salute!

Saw JJW and Pure Prairie League in Calgary in 1977. One of the best concerts I ever attended.
Yes. I was there also. JJ was about 2 hours late due to being held up at border crossing coming into Canada.
"Amie- What you gonna Do"!!!!!
*_Rest In Peace Jerry Jeff_*
*_Job well done, Sir_*
... man , Who can't Love this music Man ... Thank You 40 years late
R. I. P. Jerry Jeff Walker
Thanks for the music!!!
I listen to this concert everyday. I never get tired of hearing it!
RIP Jackie Jack. Was there in Austin in the early 70s. Thanks for all the good times listening to you and the Lost Gonzo Band
I was in Phoenix, but never missed a show. He played a lot with Bonnie Raitt... great memories
Jerry Jeff and Guy Clark are two of my all-time favoritres. Saw them both often at GAMH here in SF. I may even have been at this show.
been listening to JJW for nearly 40 years without getting bored! And this is (according to me) his very best period.
He's gone but his music lives on
@@chadcarson2731 yes it you no.it .
Me a little over 44. Seen him a few times. Great man.
Me too, over 40 years. I used to hang out in a tavern called the "Redneck Mother". Of course the whole bar would sing along with JJW!😂

Happy trails, Jacky Jack. The world is a lesser place without you. Many thanks to Tom Flint for the great recording. I was always at the Great American whenever JJW played. He once sang a few bars of "Song Sung To Friends" to my wife and I when we met and chatted with him at the bar before the show; my wife had requested for him to sing it that night. She didn't expect to get such an immediate response! He was that kind of guy.
The greatest story teller in song, ever. Thank you Mr. Flint for this. My only regret is JJW not doing desperadoes waiting for a train
I was lucky enough to have been at this very concert ... maybe the 10th time I had seen him live. This one was my favorite and so were all the others. Some things just seem to be the soundtrack of your life.
JJW A big part of such a cool scene. One of those precious parts of life that always leaves you smiling.
What a great band ! Americana music. Really good going Jerry Jeff !
Found this at work a few months ago and can't stop listening to it. As a Millennial who hates how a lot of music today lost the storytelling in songs, I love this. There's still great songs coming out (not just country, I like a thought-out rap song just as much as Waylon), but they are much more rare than they were back then
Dude , You are lucky to understand how Great this Man is ...spread the word
Your spot on. JJW could paint a picture in song.
There is a strong connection between the story telling elements in rap and country. Check out Tom Russell if you like a great narrative!
Same here. I even played few of his tunes in a band, but never discovered the true depth until recently. This music .. gives me hope.
I'm probably too late to the show, but if you haven't heard JJW do Desperadoes Waiting for a Train yet, you're in for a treat. It's one of my favs of his.
What great memories! Jerry Jeff is Texas music, will be dearly missed.
Always ... Who can fill this gap musically
If I were to tell how I found Jerry Jeff, and the hysterical odds of it happening the way it did......a sensible person would believe in angels. And it would be a short story in itself. Suffice to say, i have been a fan of Jerry Jeff's for 25 years now, a relative newcomer, but it was meant to be. I am up here in Toronto, Ontario, and my dream of meeting him is fading a bit, but I sometimes just bathe in his music for days at a time..
Lol....just finished my comment and Jerry Jeff mentions Toronto. Huh....
I'd love to hear that story. I guess you know by now if you want to meet him personally you'll have go to heaven.
Oh, and I consider myself a sensible person AND I definitely believe in angels
Never another like him. And how about John Inmon. What a picker! I feel very lucky to have lived in Austin in the old days and have seen them live many times. Far better days than now. Raising hell and loving every minute of it!
I just stumbled upon this live consert, and MAN!!! i've been listning to it all summer! Absolutley love it!!! Would have been great to hear him live. Thank you for all the great music!!. Sure does make life just a whole lot better! RIP
Saw JerryJeffWalker in 1974 first time RIP Miss him a lot Love Little Bird
RIP JJW. You brought us all so much enjoyment!!!
So many thanks for this Jewel 💞...
To have in hand.
To listen and to hold memories close to the heart. 👍
This is an amazing show, I cannot get enough of it. Thank the guy who actually pressed Record and got this, how lucky are we??
Side question - how in the world is John Inmon playing 3rds so quickly in some of his solos?? Like, there are these flourishes that I can't understand how he manages to rip through these solo lines of diatonic thirds and my head just spins. 1991 was too early for decent harmonizers to exist.

Well this was a nice treat to find today. My sincere condolences and best wishes to his family.
Grew up in Austin in the 70 80 and 90s Jerry Jeff is missed every day love ya r.i.p.
Hell of a band as well. He had his own very interesting and pleasurable vocabulary of chord changes - unlike many - that was really cool.
RIP jerry. Loved your music
Peace
The one & only great Jerry Jeff
Saw him first in '69 or '70 at the Chequered Flag in Austin. Loved him since.
I was also there. What a great show. Texas Flags came out for London Homesick Blues
Great show. Thank you JJ! We’ll miss you.
Awesome concert, great Gonzo reunion. Jerry Jeff once again the king of improv.
Nice. Wish 'Leavin Texas' was part of the set.
Saw him around this time in Tennessee. Just JJ and John Inmon on guitar in a little club. Great night marred only when Jerry had to remind a particularly loud drunk that "I ain't a damn jukebox, man". RIP, JJW. Thanks for all those songs.
Ha, that sounds just like Jerry Jeff! Thanks for that memory. Jerry was a good guy, but he didn’t put up with crap from people who thought that just because they bought a ticket, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
Oh, I can just hear him doing that! Cool...
RIP... play on and on we'll be listening!
Thanks Todd & Steve for keeping ole Jackie Jack's music alive
Wow he really had the fire back in the day remembered why he’s my favorite country singer
Living here in Austin, we lost a part of Soul. R.I.P. JERRY.
Such good music. Thank you.
jjw plays such great rythm to his songs... emulate that ... and they will follow you to every camp fire from now till we lave this world .
Thanks. Was at GAMA in 91 with my spouse. Keep getting reminders.
RIP Jerry Jeff. We are losing better than we are getting.
Have you tried Tyler Childers? Has the same real soul in his stuff
@@krisking5510TC has caved to the woke mob and now puts out overproduced garbage.
A forgotten gem for sure...lovin me some jjw !!! Great post.
Oh surprises are just lovely!
I only came across JJ walker after searching his name. I heard from Kris Kristofferson. Love his tune. It dumbfounds me why he's not heard of more. Maybe in America it's different.
For someone who was Not born in TEXAS, He was 1 of the Greatest Texans .
I've let so many folks know of Jerry Jeff, all my life. So many have been so thankful that I did. A couple could NOT believe that he was not from Texas. I love wearing my JJW t-shirt. Take care!
WE LOVE YOU JJW! ♥ Lifetime fans. From NC. Stacy & "Gator".
There'll never be another JJW... he's the best that's ever been.
... an original
He sure was @@chadcarson2731

Did anyone else hear Jerry at the '82 US Festival Sunday morning at 10:00 AM? His show was epic even though the crowd was sparse and mostly severely hungover. Though there were 300,000 people in the crowd the night before and maybe a few thousand that morning.
How I wish that video and audio were available.
He played taste of Minnesota around that time ... Great show ...
Pure magic.
... how do these guys do it and Why can't We have more of it Now Damnit
R.I.P. Jerry Jeff :(
We need more heroes
Blessing On You -- Love, Nick.
The best!
I was there!
Fantastic show that is just packed with top notch JJW songs - Thank you so much for posting this!
Great profile pic!
amen, brother, preach it
This is about the time when I tell you that I remember when I saw him live.....I met this young woman and we ended up having two children together, we bought a house...which later was foreclosed on...but lets not look back with regrets.................none of this is true. I used to like him however...
My favorite Texan born in New York. I wanted to see him one more time. Say , “Hi!!’ To Rusty for me, Jerry Jeff.
I assume I was there because I never missed JJW when he was in my town and the Great American Music Hall was my favored venue.
saw JJW several times, one of the best was the Boardwalk Cafe in Nashville mid 80's. I think Guy Clark sang this song with him. Also danced to hands on the wheel for my wedding. 25 years later Todd Snider sang it for his encore in Cincy per my request.
I have been listening to J.J.W. since 1974 on KFAT Radio in Gilroy its now KPIG in Freedom. its Notas good as it used to be.
Thank you very much for this
this is an amazing concert. thank you for this!
Great way to live!
Jerry Jeff, Buck and Merle. That's a great band meeting up above :)
Never heard of him. Nice sound.
My hero
RIP JJ 2020
They are all fine
