Saw them in Vail, CO. The girl I was with looks at me halfway though the show & says "You know. I'm not gay, but I would have sex with that woman." My response was "Oh, ya, I get it."
Dude, his son really is incredible. Good grief.
Miss my baby bro. Watching this brightens my soul...
Patrice's voice tho. Just taking over in the best way.
LOL....I forgot about Love and a .45...Been a big fan since the early 90's when I grabbed the Smoke 'em album. Eagerly bought everything as soon as it was released through Space Heater....then grabbed Holy Roller. I haven't kept up with the newer stuff....have to check out the newer releases. Saw the Rev at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz last year. Rocking harder than ever....killer show.
I remember my dad driving the KRGT radio station van taking it home. 😅 I don't remember the Echo newsletter but I remember him doing La Presna.
Anyone know the year of his guild f50?

Wow now that's some bad ass singing and thank you 😊
I remember this song (and the video) as one of the first proper videos I ever played on a computer - in 1996, this and one other video appeared as MPEG files on a computer magazine cover CD.
Still rings true today about the president

Love this song! Always have! Thanks for posting it!
It used to be such a special place. I never thought I could mourn for a city.
Man, Ive been looking for this song for years.
Austin's Martin Banks (RIP) played with the Sun Ra Arkestra! Does Austin still do Jazz concerts like this in Zilker Park? I remember hearing Tony Campise (RIP) play at one of these hillside theatre Jazz concerts.
Just took the kiddos to see him Live at the RIV - 43 years old now with two teenagers - Was an Amazing Show ❤
God blaze foley has an amazing and strong voice he needs more recognition
God Bless Texas
Thank you for the posting. This is pure Deep Ellum ,Texas talent at its best. Jim is a real original.
Where are they now if not dead
Love Omar the one and only !!!
Cool
One of my biggest live music regrets was discovering Stephen when it was too late. That makes this posting even more precious. He was his own man,an amazing musician and writer, and really,one damn fine observant human!
We love you Mario Garza and appreciate everything you do for my generation and generations to come ❤
This was on a dollar store's greatest hits CD many years ago. It's like taking LSD, but i don't do that ever. ROCK-ETTE TRIP, they said it, freedom of speech if it doesn't kill any body. I hope.
I think i met these guys in the park?
There is no "D" on Mayor McClellan's last name
