I've been a fan of the good Commander forever and ever. One of my first albums was the original Live From Deep In The Heart of Texas show. I got Andy Stein to play my wedding, somehow. I got to see Commander Cody a couple of times and was lucky enough to catch him with Peter Walsh, who is a hoot and a half himself. (It was all so long ago, but I won't ever forget their version of "Rockin' Over China" with him at the mic.) It's great to see originals like John Tichy (I had not idea that beautiful voice on "Cryin' Time" was his), and the great Lance Dickerson on drums. (Former Cody bassist Buffalo Bruce Barlow said of Dickerson, "Lance was a great intuitive musician. He had more chops than a hog farm. He had a wealth of musical styles and could swing like a banshee.") I never got to see Tex Burbank but I sure wish I had!
Saw them all , but not at the same time !!! Miss them like no other group the original Cc.& his LPA...
Most underrated band of all time
Yes, but not by this time... not even close... BUT...say 72--76, he'll yeah!
CC.and his L.P.A. greatest group of jammers of all time ! Missing, Bill Kirchen !!!! But kool jam ... groovy saw this band numerous 😂 times !!! Always a great time ,, Missing them ❤️ 💙 💕 ♥️
Been a fan for almost 50 years, first heard them while in Army in Germany,1973. now 70!!
This was my favourite band through the late seventies and early eighties! Im so thrilled to watch them in action.
They opened for The Byrds back in 71 or 72. they blew the Byrds away. And the Byrds were excellent. I saw them a couple times more. Billy C.
Saw them in ann arbor the summer of 72 at mr floods party. About 11 at night in walks the Jefferson airplane who had just finished a concert at cobo hall in Detroit. Both bands jammed til closing time. What a nite!
Seems like the Airmen in name only. Miss Billy C Farlow and Andy Stein,
This was held @ Auditorium Shores. The Dillo was long gone in 94 (RIP)
Thanks for all the rockin Cody
Yeh I saw them at Reading Festival in '73. Best gig ever and I've seen a few. Heart of Texas one of the best albums ever. I still thought this was great. Love the Commander's piano.
Saw him in the last two years. Hes in bad shape, but still fiesty.
I was at Reading in August 1973 and they came in straight from Heathrow airport. The set was very similar to the live album recorded in September and I clearly remember Little Billy C. asked the audience: "Do we have any truck drivers here tonight?" They were great and the good news is (or was) that Bill Kirchen comes over regularly.
Luv this band best of alternate country
Thanks sooo much for this.
I'm a generation younger than these dudes & most of their fans. My pops turned me onto a lot of this stuff as a kid from his record collection: Commander Cody, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Marcia Ball, Shake Russell & Dana Cooper, Bob Wills & Texas Playboys, Fabulous Tbirds etc.
I was actually at this show @ Town Lake as an 18 yr old with my pops & my best friend! Great day of music!
I got to see them at Antones a couple years later, too.
I'm originally from San Marcos, got to see Stevie Ray Vaughan play one of my dad's buddy's bday party on the SM river. George Strait was a local back then too.
These past 30 years i've been a Texas metal musician playing death metal, thrash, hardcore etc. still at it!
Long live Texas music!
Same here man! My pops turned me on to this stuff! Good to know there’s other young fellas with a good ear. The Commander, the New Riders, Poco, and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils are some of my favorites. Good to see some video footage of these guys. Not enough of it on TH-cam.
I like how they showcase each band member in this show.
Man I saw them , at a holiday inn , in south central pa. Back in the early 90’s , they had a crazy guitar player he played just the guy with the long hair. But he had a strat , and a les Paul , he was just nuts , the fender had some electrical probs so , he just switched mid song to the les Paul , played a few chords and broke a string , and played a few songs with 5 strings , didn’t miss a lick , there was a potted plant in a hanger right within his reach , and he head butted a few times till it came down . I had never really heard of the much back in the day , except for hot rod Lincoln . But to see them in that small corner , no stage , But I will say they were great , that guy with the longer hair , just played shit outta that Gibson , and he was good playing with a broke sting , they didn’t seem to be anymore than 5 members...as I remember , but they was well seasoned , great band , and l was happy to see them !
Turn up the volume, please. Thank you.
Great Gig!
Peter Walsh!! Haven't heard from him since the last incarnation of SEATRAIN!!
There was no Armadillo in 1994. This is Austin City Limits. Trust me, I was there.
Yeah, that closed in, like, 1980, or something.
THIS most likely 25th anniversary of the dillo. from Austin Collissum.
@@seatech1 Dec 31 80/Jan1 81 was the final concert @ The Armadillo. Commander Cody played that night with many others. The final concert is on youtube. I think we were there till about 3:30 AM
this is not the original lost planet airmen...the originals were 'His Lost Plane Airmen' and this is 'THE Lost Planet Airmen'...if you want to hear the orginal group, there is a new 23 song CD recorded 1973 at ebbets field on sale on amazon...BUY IT!!!! it is great!
You are correct. No Lost Planet Airmen. Just the Commander here, and Lance Dickerson on drums. No Billy C, No Bill Kirchen etc.
@@rpdugoni True but John Tichy is here and he's an original Airman
I have the headphones at full blast and it's barely audible.
Needed Billy C Farlow there.
Fantastic!
Find "The Early Years" circa 1967. Except for a few live songs they're just practicing with a tape recorder; it's like The Basement Tapes.
Billy C Farlow: "We're gonna stop now for a smoke a dope."
I've had close encounters with Cody and Sherba .... Tex Burbank still vital and playing in CT/RI area
Welcome back, Dr. Tichy & Lance Dickerson from the original LPA. Thought that might be Buffalo Bruce Barlow on bass but Cody says No. Lance died in '03 & Tichy's probably retired from RPI where he was the Department Chair of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering.
I thought that was Bruce also until I got a few closer shots and saw that it was a different guy.
It was much much better in 1973.
I was in the audience for that show. Never seen so many old farts in one place at the same time!
Hahaha. Haaaappy auld farts, tho
I can't get volume
Good to see them at it but not quite like the old originals.
yep .....need volume!!
17:20 small girl on someones shoulders getting a little boogie.

more like the house of no stage lights ??
Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks were the only other band that compared to CC.
need more lighting
Not even close to the original band of the 1970's. Bill Kirchen was the missing key to this band being something special.
I disagree, I think all of them added something. They were all a fun bunch, but Bills guitar is definitely a big piece of the puzzle. Like Andy’s sax and fiddle.
Well the bass player was excellent, the Commander's piano excellent as well, but everything else was absolute crap. Felt like these lightweights took over his band. Lots of guitars, one with fast rock riffs with no originality subbing for a pedal steel, gimme a break man, lots of singers, but no real music & not enough Commander Cody. Love the bass player, congrats to him great performance holding everybody else up.
Agree! Who many guitars does it take to make a band sound good?
I agree, great bass player. Can't hear piano for loud guitars--which are NOT country.
Terrible lighting!
A joke.....NOT the lost planet airmen! No pedal steel, rock guitars, BS.
no, not the great band of the 70s...but still better than a lot of new crap coming out these days...give them credit for playing boogie woogie, anyway....
That guitar player with the SG was pretty smokin', but it would have been nice to see Bill Kirtchen there.
@@glenfenderman Agreed he's a killer player whoever he is. Probably not the best guy for the gig though
@@glenfenderman & Bobby Black!
