Live From Dixie's Bar & Bus Stop

Great DVD with minor flaws!!!
I bought this DVD when it first came out. There is not a whole lot of Jerry Jeff Walker video out there that is commercially available, so, I am always quick to pick up anything that Jerry Jeff releases in the way of vintage video. It is true that this seems to be taken from an old video tape and transferred to DVD without too much in the way of "clean-up". But as I watched the DVD, the video blurbs seem to be few. For me it does not detract from the great pleasure of seeing this older concert.
The song selection is GREAT! He does several songs that I do not hear him do often in concert. The audio is great, also. The band is in great form. I would love to see Jerry Jeff backed up with the original Lost Gonzo Band, but Bob Livingston and John Inmon are here, so it's all good!!
I was really hoping that NEW WEST would release the old Jerry Jeff tapes from Austin City Limits, as they have with so many other artists. But, as of this writing, they have not. Until they do, Jerry...

Vintage Jerry Jeff
There is nothing slick or fancy about this DVD production of vintage Jerry Jeff Walker, but then again there is nothing fancy or slick about Jerry Jeff which has been the key to his popularity. This is JJW in his element; a small honkytonk with people drinking, dancing and singing along. Great last 3rd of the concert has Jerry Jeff giving a preview of what was to come, just a man and his guitar and music. If your a Jerry Jeff fan, especially going all the way back to the 70's, this is a great find. If you've come to Jerry Jeff late in his career, you can see what it was that started the whole thing.

Wish I Was there
I really enjoyed this video.

Jerry Jeff performs in a small bar in Austin and you can tell he's having a great time doing it.

Yes, you can tell this was converted over from a slightly damaged tape but I think this adds to the fun of the video. This wasn't a grand production, just a bar in Texas in the 80's.

The sounds is great and that's important part.

A must have for and Jerry Jeff Walker fan.
