Curious side note about that gig, Craig. Buck didn't want to do it because he thought it wouldn't sell in NYC. It was only after the record company agreed to do a live album of the event that he did the concert. What a fucking concert, too.Originally posted by vandeleurE- Jesus .

Yeah, Buck was nervous as hell the gig wouldn't sell out, and was shocked when it did. Somewhere around here I have the original CD that came out in the late eighties. I also have a superior sounding version from around 1999 on the ultra tiny Sundazed label (pictured above). It sounds leagues better than the remastered version that came out a few years ago, includes the original liner notes and features most of the corny comedy bits that were chopped off the first CD.

The fact that Buck and the boys played the Filmore shows what kind of impact his music had.
I personally don't think Buck ever recovered from Don Rich's tragic accident. Yes, he went onto Hee Haw but it wasn't till Dwight started mentioning him as an influence that his career took off again.Originally posted by vandeleurE- Jesus .

Yeah, it was a cryin' shame, as Buck's heart just went completely out of making music. That's the main reason he settled into doing Hee Haw and little else. I'll give Yokum all the credit in the world for bringing the man some justly deserved attention and respect before the end of his life.

Yup, that's pretty much my take on it too.
Buck had like 20 number 1 hits and recorded something like a hundred albums. Wow!Originally posted by vandeleurE- Jesus . Playing both sides because he didnt understand the argument in the first placeComment

You know, there simply has to be a book or two about this guy and that incredible band out there by now. I think I'll make a note to see if any are available. They rocked harder than any so-called country band, before or after them. It would be a disservice to their legacy if there isn't.

I'm from B.C.
But I was raised in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles.
Mainly around Van Nuys.
Haven't been back to B.C since I was 5.
My parents were English.
Canada was just some place my dad worked.
I was raised as an American.Comment

That's the thing, though. After Don died, I think he put out maybe two albums of new material until Yokum came along. For 12-15 years, I'm pretty sure all that was released were compilations and old live shows.
