Look who's sitting there next to Willie, looking like he's stoned, and then look who's guitar Willie's playing up on stage. Would love to have been there.
My girlfriend and I were living in Austin Texas back in 1974 , we had moved there from Kansas City and we were into Rock like Led Zeppelin, we were living with my cousin and he loved country music especially Willie, I can remember him calling me from The Austin Opry House and begging me to come and see Willie, we never went, I missed chances to see him for years, l wish that I could turn back time , as I got older and mature I finally got what my cousin Phil was trying to tell me, Willie was great and one of a kind
I was there in '73 and '74 - there will never be another time/place like it. Went to Willies 2nd 4th of July festival in Dripping Springs. Some things you never forget. Willie Lives on!
Stevie was just getting started down there too. You ever go see the Cobras? Jimmy Vaughan too. Would've been amazing to experience, as a young musician myself (24)
@@jordangordan8980Stevie and The Triple Threat Revue with Lou Ann Barton would play every Sunday night at The Rome Inn, that band was wonderful and The Cobras with Stevie and Denny Freeman played Antone's a lot , Jimmy Vaughn and The Fabulous Thunderbird's were the house band at Antone's they backed up everyone like Muddy Waters
I was "there" too. Not at this particular performance....... but I was a Texas kid loving Waylon, Willie, and the new "progressive" outlaw sounds, and buying their albums. Still have them too.🎸

Other guy was drinking Shiner (not bock). Lone Star and Pearl were big in San Antonio and south Texas, but it hadn't really taken off yet. It was still a few years before it became "The National Beer of Texas" and really took off. At the time, Shiner cost 99 cents per six pack and was a favorite of the Czech and German farmers. Later, Shiner Bock caught on in Austin and spread across the state. I started bar tending in a college bar in San Marcos in fall 1977. When I started, about half the beer we sold was Budwiser and about 45% Schlitz. Within six months it was still 50% Bud, but Lone Star and a new product, Miller Lite split the rest. Except for one six pack a week of Schlitz for the old local farmer who came in a couple of afternoons a week to eye the college girls.
What an embarrassment Austin has become. That’s what you get for letting Cali take it over. Don’t spread that nonsense up here to Fort Worth. We have our own battles

You see Ralph Mooney on steel guitar!!
Holy shit I think Waylon was high
Good old west Texas boy, Waylon.
That’s the only time I’ve ever seen Willie playing Waymore’s guitar.
The whole story is about Willie and then they just casually drop a completely blitzed Waylon cameo haha I love it

Still have them too.🎸
Very interesting time capsule right here. What we call "outlaw country" today was in period called "progressive country."
That's one Hot Pic of Willie 9n the Thumbnail.
Mercy, Willie was/is "Somethin Else"!
0:00 a rare shot of Willie playing Waylon's customized Telecaster. While sitting in with Waylon's band, no less
Waylon's band behind Willie
Would've liked the end to keep going....raw and gritty
Beautiful people.
Willie was so HOT! I 1st saw him January 1976 - and then 4 - 5 times and met him - it was truly thrilling.
I adore him still.
He needs to retire and go get himself a little old man's haircut.

@1:25 we see quite the contrast....A Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells" next to a Willie Nelson album.
SRV was there then too.
He was a part of the blues scene back then. SRV wasn't really part of the progressive country scene.
Jerry Garcia's cousin, Barry Garcia ✌🏼
Waylon looks loaded
In the 70's if his eyes were open - he was under the influence - Coke -
I think he just came off stage here.
Scary these guys are in power now. We're doomed.
1:22 Greetings From Asbury Park sighting
That dude is drinking Lone Star Beer!

Spoiler Alert.. it happened..

50 years later and the scene is dead, the city is very unwelcoming to anyone who does not tow the extreme left wing line. Total shit hole.
Never cared for his "style" of music.
thanks for trolling. This is amazing footage of a hugely influential time in American music history.
Why are you here lol
