When they'd do this at Gruene, the entire place would go apeshit when Lloyd would start the rumbling boxcars on the refrain (too bad this version is shortened).
Absolutely the best way to hear this song. Nothing beats Lloyd Maines screaming on the pedal steel along with Jesse's guitar, and Ponty Bone on accordion. Best rock & roll show on the planet.
OMG wonderful recording. This is how Joe looked when i first met him in '78 at the cotton cub in Lubbock. still a fantastic musicain and one handsome bugger! Thank you for sharing...
Ditto what delbertfreeb said... This is the classic Joe Ely lineup for me which I've seen many many times in the 80s. I miss this band, especially Jessie...
The classic Joe Ely line-up for me. Ponty Bone,Jesse Taylor and Lloyd Maines. Saw this line-up many times and they ALWAYS knocked me out. Thanks for posting this , you have made an old man very happy.

Oh, man! That lineup playing that song just kills me, and I've got two worn-out copies of "Live Shots" to prove it. Many, many thanks.
