This review is from: Flatlanders - Live from Austin, TX (DVD)

For anyone who is a Flatlanders fan but has never seen them in concert this DVD is a must. I have been to several of their concerts and watching this is as close to being there as you can get without being there. They are in top form and do an absolutely wonderful concert. Many of the songs are from their CD, Now Again and are all very well done as is the CD. Butch Hancock plays the harmonica on several songs and his talent is very impressive. He doesn't seem to play it as much at live concerts so anyone seeing this DVD is actually getting a bonus!! They do a rendition of "Gimme a Ride to Heaven," and it is really rockin' tune which it is apparent they all like doing the song. I have seen bootleg videos of the Flatlanders and, of course, they seem very amateur compared to this DVD and now that I have this I will probably not watch them again. The Flatlanders band is always very good, but they are exceptional on this DVD. Robbie Gjersoe, the lead guitarist is wonderful. Watching him is like watching a show in itself. He gives his all and the Flatlanders are lucky to have him. Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore do the same superb job they do on all their albums. I got the DVD in today's mail and have already watched it three times and will watch it many more times in the future. The only thing missing (as far as I am concerned) was "West Texas Waltz", that I have seen them do at every concert and Jimmie always dances while he does it. But, in all fairness, there are 17 songs on the DVD, so I guess they couldn't do everything!! "Dallas" is fantastic, as usual. If you are a Flatlanders fan you can't go wrong with this--it's worth much more than the price I paid for it!! There is a documentary called "Lubbock Lights," which I saw in Lubbock, Texas after a Flatlanders concert that is basically a history of the Flatlanders and is terrific, but to the best of my knowledge it has not been released for sale, but you should keep your eye out for it. I hope all of you reading this like this video as much as I did.

Not having seen any live performances of the group, this DVD gave me that opportunity. I wish there were other performances that were available to buy. I love the sound and especially Gilmore's voice. Can't get enough!
