I've been a Lucinda Williams fan since the mid 1980's - I taped this show when it first aired on Austin City Limits in 1989 (it was aired with an outstanding Guy Clark performance, which is already on DVD - buy it! http://www.amazon.com/Live-Austin-TX-Guy-Clark/dp/B000LC5B3S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1223250297&sr=1-1). Lucinda's performance is a fantastic show with her original band that included Gurf Morlix, John Ciambotti and Donald Lindley. The original ACL show was only 25 minutes. The new DVD is listed at 74 minutes. Based on the original show, I can, with all sincerity, highly recommend this DVD to any Lucinda fan. If I could have only one of Lucinda's performances on DVD, this would be it. Whatever you love about Lucinda Williams and her music today, you will see it during this 1989 performance - a wonderful and original singer-songwriter who has remained an original artist. Gurf Morlix's guitar playing is first rate! I enjoyed the days when I saw Lucinda in the small clubs - this DVD captures a wonderful performance from that time - a must for any Lucinda fan.

This is a nice addition to our Lucinda collection of music. We prefer live music because it seems there is so much more energy in this style. For anyone who likes this DVD the Lucinda Live at Austin City Limits is another you should add to your music collection.

This is an outstanding concert by Lucinda Williams & her band, filmed & recorded on October 13, 1989. It consists of 15 songs. The line-up consists of Lucinda Williams on guitar & lead vocals, Gurf Morlix on guitar, John Ciambotti on bass, Donald Lindley on drums, and John "Juke" Logan on Harmonica. Most of the songs performed were written by Lucinda.

The songs are as follows:

1. Big Red Sun Blues
2. Wild and Blue
3. Am I Blue
4. Crescent City (about New Orleans)
5. Nothing in Rambling (a "Memphis" Minnie Lawlers song)
6 The Night's Too Long
7. Abandoned
8. I Just Wanted to See You So Bad
9. Side of the Road
10.Price to Pay
11.Disgusted
12.Something About What Happens When WE Talk
13.Passionate Kisses
14.Changed the Locks (A True Classic)

This is a great concert by Lucinda & her band, and I highly recommend it. Thanks!!!!!!
