Joe Ely Dallas from a DC-9 at Night

[mattygeetarross]

Does anyone have the ACL video of Lloyd and his Brothers' band??

[BobStoopsHatesJesus]

bob stoops has never seen dallas from a DC-9 9 at night.

[cthehill]

Would this have been at the Tornado Jam? Damn, that was an event! Stevie Ray and a brilliant line-up.

All the nights dancing at Coldwater Country. This was a time and place where there was an amazing alignment of the stars. Hated Lubbock, but enjoyed the music and the art.

[ChezKiva]

Yes, and all I noticed is that Fort Worthless is now little more than a huge frack-pit.

[Wharfomatic]

Lloyd & Jesse WOW!!! Them Lubbock boys were the shit! I live in Austin and it's known as the Live Music Capital of The World due in large part to these bad ass Lubbock boys all moving here in the 70's

[wesrace1]

Man, these fellows wrote the book.

[rpm4565]

Possibly the best lineup Ely ever had (except for David Grissom). Lloyd's rock & roll steel guitar, Jesse Taylor's blues, and Ponty Bone's accordion. Memories of some amazing rocking nights in Lubbock in the late 70's. God Blessed Texas.

[stilettospikes]

That's Natalie Maines pappy on the steel guitar

[HoomzanDK]

If you like this, you should check out the Danish artist Peter Belli's interpretation.

It's called "København fra en DC-9"

You might not understand the lyrics, but still... :)

[bobo420TX]

I have seen Dallas from the window of a VW bug on my way to Austin. does that count ?

[Magicbrianwood]

The best band of muso's Ely ever had (is that Natalie Maines father I see..?)

[mbrown603]

I was at this show. Linda Ronsdadt appeared with the Joe Ely Band wearing a yellow raincoat head to toe & sand "Desparados". Good show. If you still have the Planets video's can you post those?

[Speedynma]

I was at the mud bowl '81; remember the incredibly drunk guy wearing the duster who kept falling in the mud ALL DAY? only his eyes weren't muddy --but he never dropped his beer; and the forgettable Gary Morris sang "Dixie" and the sun came out for the first and only time- i was 19 and thought Lubbock was a big town

[learflyer2]

I've seen Dalls from the right seat of a lear jet 35 and a lear 24

[Ypipable]

landings a hoot...

[kelan930]

I have seen Dallas from an MD80, not a DC9, and durring the day, not at night.

[whitefeet1]

Saw this crew open for Chuck Berry at the Paramount Theater my first night in Austin, 1981. Said to myself, "I could live here..." and did for the next 8 years.... during which time I completeley ignored FM radio, and missed not a thing.

[USNJetJockey]

If it's not a Boeing, I'm not going.

[skywarrior28]

Yes, I have seen Dallas from a DC-9 at night. Way back when Continental had DC-9's on the late flight from Houston-DFW. Also seen Dallas from a NW DC-9 and a Boeing 717! :)

[spiritbearNY]

How did i miss this until now? lol Wonderful video. Thanks!

[bill3979]

R.I.P. Jesse "Guitar" Taylor. Saw these boys in Baton Rouge around this time and it was pure magic.

[donnyoh]

Yes I have and Dallas gives a beautiful light...

[rollon863]

The ''mud bowl'' jam was 1982. I was there. Linda Ronstadt, Joan Jett, Joe...the Crickits. Leon Russell was a no show.

[zachytacky]

rolion863

I was there myself the people pissin thru the fence and the banditos mud drags in the parking lot was the best.

I still have a picture of me on the wall from that day.

Oh to be thirteen again.

[madipl]

Natilie said it best something about backward texas people

[shanstrange]

Natilie IS from Texas-so what does that say about her??

[md1960md]

Was this the Tornado Jam where Linda Ronstadt performed? Trying to remember which year that was.

Lloyd Maines is a beast on that steel.....

[troyboi20]

The Jam with Linda Ronstadt was in 1981. the mud bowl, if you will recall. remember the lines to the port o pot. we had to relieve ourselves through the chain link fence. That ended up on local t.v. Damn that was the best.

[queenbee345622]

I wish someone would upload the 10,000 maniacs version. This is good, though.

[mbrown603]

Much better quality than the videotape I made of The Tornado Jam that ran on Lubbock TV. Must have been one of the 1st things I taped on my huge new VCR. It also had The Planets & Jay Boy Adams on it.

[bodahlstrom]

excellent

[txjoe773]

joe's the man and dallas is the place. that's what i'm talking about!

[rocknloretta]

OMG give me dat hat! Jesse and Lloyd rock...then and always. RIP Jess

[jimmydacat]
