1 person is going to get their head bashed in..

[scurvdog84]

@ThelynxAZ I agree, I think that one person must be Justin Beiber, obviously!

[Rantomon]

Cheers for putting this up... If you let Townes in you'll never be alone in this world :-)

[danielsmdoyle]

i could've sworn there's film of this -- is that not the old quarter show on the be here to love me doc? with townes standing up playing in the hippy pants? or was that a different show?

[johnnymccrowe]

@danielsmdoyle i think your thinking of the clip of townes playing dollar bill blues, kinda a similar guitar vibe, it was actually recorded for austin city limits, i think it was called austin pickers or something like that at the time,

[morleydotes666]

as i sit here, i feel i should be with my son. i'll be there forever more, full of gladness that i have that time. thank you townes...

[chellerose99]

[napoleonicstrike]

I love what Steve Earle said about this song: "If this (song) doesn't scare you you are overly medicated."

[dewittguero]

[stuwad1]

[dp11issosweet]

[tallboySR]

This guy is just fucking legendary.

[tompetty832002]

best recording of the song ever

[AMRhonemusic]

@tompetty832002 yeah for sure...i have this entire live album, i think it's the best one

[tompetty832002]

@AMRhonemusic yeah mean it is awesome. maybe my favorite album of all time. the version of loretta on it is just unreal, completely unlike any other out there, much more upbeat. i could go on forever about how good the album is, i'll host loretta as soon as i get time

[thekingfist]

@tompetty832002 Agreed. and the old quarter "Kathleen" is the best recording. The people who were in the audience, man......

[earlefan]

Best ever!!!
