Your Favorite Austin City Limits


Eric Taylor was on Austin City Limits last night and I was reminded how many great performances there were on that show week after week. For me, two shows really stand out: Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Allman Brothers. SRV played with so much feeling so effortlessly that it seemed like he was drawing inspiration and grace right out of the air -- if there is a muse, I experienced it's manifestation.

What about you? What are the great shows? Have you "discovered" new music you didn't hear before? Are you addicted?

Cp, I saw that one. You're right. It was quite good in a very unexpected way -- I had to change how I thought of him!
Ozfly...I like some Talking Heads, but didn't care for the movie "Stop Making Sense" very much. So, I was not expecting great things from his ACL concert. I was very surprised. He was fun, inventive, intelligent (goes without saying, really), casual, and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
Junior Brown was playing that "guit-steel" with amazing speed one evening. But, the Townes Van Zant tribute was special, no doubt.
