Still one of the best live albums ever recorded.

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.

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.

Man that's cool, Craig. Love have that recording.

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.

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!

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.

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 too, am sure there has to be something out there and I agree these guys were the "blue print" to so much music that came after them. Hank Sr gets so much credit for it and so does Johnny Cash but in my mind Buck is right there with them.

I'm Canadian and when I voluntered for the U S Army I failed
my physical for a bad knee.

STFU, C-Dung.....sry, I mean bastardson.

Craig and I are trying to have a meaningful conversation about something important.

Not your troll equivalent of a free massage with a happy ending, attention whore .....there's no such thing as negative attention, just attention bullshit.
