Jerry Jeff Walker and Friends FULL CONCERT (Live) Dec. 20th 1974 - McFarlin Auditorium, Dallas TX

Some uncirculated footage from Jerry Jeff Walker and his Lost Gonzo Band with friends from McFarlin Auditorium, in Dallas TX on Dec. 20th 1974. A few of these tunes would feature on Wallker's "A Man Must Carry On" album that would release several years later in 1977. This is great music and you feel like you are right there watching with the crowd. Bob Livingston's set is quite funky and I really loved it. 26 Songs of Jerry Jeff and the boys in their prime. Willie and Ray Wylie there made the show that much better. Gary P. Nunn's wife at the time Karen Brooks also joined them for the set at 1:50:47. Overall most of the footage is blurry, and at one point camera 1 runs out of tape at 2:16:19 but I added in the best quality of the clips available - so a few songs are HD (Starting at 15:49 and again at 1:12:14.) This is early footage of these musicians and despite the video, the audio is great. One day an HD tape of this will be available, whether AI can make it one or the real thing becomes circulated. Until then, enjoy the cards we are dealt! This was shot for the "Lone Star Hour" which was supposed to be a TV show but only few episodes aired.

FILMED BY SHELTERVISION INC. FOR LONE STAR BEER IN 1974.

Leon Russell, at the time one of the biggest rock acts in the world, sent his newly formed video company ShelterVision to Austin to shoot musicians in clubs and outdoors. ShelterVision's footage was edited into six hour long "Lone Star Cross Country Music Specials," they aimed to air on eleven Texas television stations including stereo sound to be simulcast on FM stations. Each special was supposed to be broadcasted [regionally by ABC] in 10 (and later 12) ADls - or areas of dominating influence - which included San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston, and other areas. Shot in different venues all over Texas and hosted by Willie Nelson, the series featured Asleep at the Wheel, Greezy Wheels, Jerry Jeff Walker and the Lost Gonzo Band, Rusty Wier, Jimmy Buffett, Ray Wylie Hubbard, B.W. Stevenson, Tracy Nelson, Willis Allan Ramsey, Bobby Bare, Steve Fromholz, Larry Hosserford, Kenneth Threadgill, Doug Kershaw, a short guest appearance from Waylon Jennings and of course Nelson and his band. Jerry Retzloff who was in charge of Lonestar back then reviewed the guest artists with Willie because as host he could best figure which artists would be best-suited for each show." The feeling was that you were sitting right there as you watched it on the screen and listened to it on the stereo.
