Editorial Reviews

Video Description

When he stepped onto the Austin City Limits stage for the very first time on that brisk January day in 1978, Merle Haggard was at the top of his game. It had been over a decade since his first national hit, "Sing A Sad Song," and not that long after Okie from Muskogee had firmly planted his music in the public consciousness. He had already been declared Entertainer of the Year by both the Country Music Awards and Academy of Country Music in the same year (1970). He had just released A Tribute to the Best Damn Fiddle Player in the World (Or My Salute to Bob Wills), which sparked a revival of interest in western swing. And with his band, the Strangers, it’s no stretch to say that he had the best live show in country music of his day. This package contains both a CD and DVD of Merle Haggard’s very first Austin City Limits performance, recorded in January, 1978, and contains 12 different songs than the previous Live From Austin, Texas release (recorded in 1985.)

Track Listing:
1. Working Man Can t Get Nowhere Today
2. Silver Wings
3. Ramblin’ Fever
4. The Fugitive Song
5. Sing Me Back Home

8. Long Black Limousine

5.0 out of 5 stars Merle Haggard - An American Treasure, April 27, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is Merle as he should always be remembered.

A hundred years from now when someone asks "What was Merle Haggard like?". This is the document that should be produced to prove what so many in this lifetime know. Merle is an American Treasure.

Wonderfully recorded here in Austin TX in 1985. This DVD drips with sentimentality and still delivers a punch.

If you only own a single Merle DVD make it this one.

The band is spectacular and Merle hits on all cylinders.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great concert, missed a few songs, January 9, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
He had a great band back then, with horns added for his typical "country jazz" sound. Hag is in great shape vocally, too. The musicians all excel with great solos. So why only four stars. Just personal taste, I guess. I would have liked to hear songs like "Today I started lovin' you again", "swinging doors" plus other old, bluesy tunes. But, by all means, this is a disc well worth owning. Both picture and sound are top notch.
