Guy Clark - Live From Austin Texas

[cracks21229]

"...without getting killed or caught..."

See, that's why country music was so wonderful. Humorous yet dark.

[MrA259]

Have to agree--this is the BEST version of this wonderful song

[johnnymccrowe]

this dvd is amazing!@$%~!#$

[DaveCarroll4]

I think that he and his wife wrote this song. Biggest hit was by Jerry Jeff Walker!

She gets very little recognition, except if you go see him live, then he credits her for quite a bit!

I grew up in the country and now live in town. this song makes me want to do that. I hate driving the so cal freeways. Too many people too damn close to each other.

[MichaelAndros1]

Guy Clark wrote this song. Walker covered it.

[mch1112]

Amazing! His music just stops me in my tracks everytime. What a talent!

[pepper4950]

Guy Clark is 1 in 100 million he is getting near the end...i dont think i want to be around when he's gone

[john9944]

Between this guy, Jerry Jeff, Townes, and Rodney Crowell Houston was home to some of the greatest singer song writers of the second half of the last century. Guy takes a back seat to no one.

[GRobb62]

who is the one idiot who thinks Guy Clark sucks, i'm not sure if he wrote this song or not, Jerry Jeff Walker does it too & they.re good friends. either would cover the other's song.

[aasoder1]

This song never fails to give me chills. Guy Clark is one of the best poets of the last two centuries.

[zonkozonko]

Sang this song to myself many times when I left Great Britain for two years to live in Kenya. Some times it helped me through tough times.

I can sure ID w/this song. In the Navy we rented from the gvmt 3 different homes on freeway right of ways. Norwalk, Compton and Long Beach. I got out in '67 so we could skadaddle to Seattle up that road in a cloud of smoke.

[earlefan]

Who the fuck voted dislike???? What an asshole. He probably loves American Idol

[ChefTillDeath]

Excellent Mullet on the fiddle player

[adamtzsch]

a unique voice

[oldbisciut84]

first time I saw Guy do this was in '85,the hair stood up on the back of my neck.Its the most hauntingly beautiful song I had ever heard

[zenmachinefilms]

Really nice. As much as I love JJW's version, this is as good as it gets. Perhaps because Guy wrote it.

[dutchessabroad]

These guys, Guy Clark makes me cry, and the fiddle player, isn't he fab?

One sad individual is lacking a soul and voted to dislike.

Great version, best I've heard.

[michaelsmorrison]

LOVE

Love is where you go

when you have lost your way

when you just can’t live another day

without love

[john9944]

Great version of a great song. I've been playing it forever. I think I may have been doing it before it was copywritten. I have known and watched Guy since Sand Mountain on Richmond.  My old friend Harriet played with his wife Suzanne in a group when both were still in high school. It was made to be duo-ed with a fiddle.

[onetalltxn]

Incredible song but Texas best C&W writer ever!

Thanks for the post.

[debmills853]

I love his comment at the end. Austin City Limits is an oil painting here, what happened?

[bluemoonlady1]

Thumbs up. I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for shareing it.Oh and i did click on the ads links

[safeandsound100]

Right on nc2kw

[steele917]

get yourself a hold of "HEARTWORN HIGHWAYS" DVD there is will you WILL be affected by this song...never was much of a country music fan...but this Video took ta-hold of me. These guys not only perform their own songs...they in turn know each others songs. "TIGHT" CONSISE" SH*T...the casual atmosphere...is throughout...right up to the finish, when the imbibing of alcohol is evident...nevertheless you'll see smiles arrive as they start to sing silent night. can't praise this video enuf

[safeandsound100]

I can still remember the first time I heard this song (by Jerry Jeff I think) it was at a friends house in Calgary, Canada, maybe 1977. It's still as fresh as it was back then. A good song, is a good song. To put in in perspective, I've forgotten thousands of new country songs. Thanks Guy.

[nc2kw]

@safeandsound100 You are so right. People confuse hits with music that will be remembered. These guys have lived life and it comes through in their music.

[luap121]

God Bless Austin City Limits for hosting Guy Clark and other great artists that don't ever get the air time they deserve.

[kayserrick]

Today this song sums it all up, except for the City, of course. I feel Tony bound.

[Mandocello913]

One of Guy's best ever!

[valverdista]

The greatest and that´s it.

[probinson1337]

I never "felt" this song until I heard Guy sing it while I was living in Dallas of all places. "adios to all this concrete, gotta find me some dirt road backstreets" made me want to go home to rural Arkansas so bad.

[GreyReb13]

Guy Clark wrote the song

[deebee76]

"Say goodbye to the landlord for me, that son'bitch has always bored me..."

[ilgarauchut]

We recently saw Jerry Jeff Walker perform this song in Austin. I do believe this was a better version. Thanks for sharing the video.

[jerdeb4evr]

@ilgarauchut These guys (Jerry Jeff, Guy Clark) were made for on the spot performance. You can listen to them do the same song 15 times and each one will be different. Be here now.

[earlefan]

beautiful

[newfport]

Holy Mullet fest !!!!

[MrBillgreaves]

I am forever drawn to this haunting song . .like memories of a long lost love . . .

[canajian]

I`ve been watchin Guy Clark videos here on youtube, the man is an incredible songwriter & musician. I recently bought Heartworn highways which introduced me to Guy`s music more..

Thanks for sharing this..

[billb0925]

Best version of the song I've ever heard. Thanks for the post...

[alt2ooning]

Thanks for posting ....great tune/performance by Guy..... this rendition with Stuart Duncan on fiddle as well as all the tracks on the "Live from Austin TX" CD make for great listening ...the bowed bass viol (Edger Myer) adds a full spectrum of sound.

Glad to hear that the lymphoma is in remission.

[madaxemanbeer]

@alt2ooning

Edgar Meyer must be one of the most talented musicians walking the earth today. This is great too.

[graig22s]

I was driving behind you ghostweiner the night you hit and killed them two young honor students, who had both just been accepted to Princeton Commerce University in East Texas. I remember holding the one in my arms and all he could say was, (tell that trucker I am sorry)

And Ghostweiner I also recall seeing you leaning down while driving as if you were reaching for a cell phone because your parents were calling

[elduath]

Whoa! What a story! Music and life, it's all connected. How did you know his parent's were calling?

[ghostwiener1978]

This is a song I use to play on all those runs across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas... I use to sing "if I could just get of of this L.A. Freeway," I was actually singing it the night I hit and killed two brothers / honors students in a dense fog... I still hear that one kid screaming his dead brothers name only second before he too died out in DeltaCo.,Texas... This song brings up a lot of memories of my trucking days....

[Adirtybum]

hell yeah, thx, 5 stars

[JBE43691]

This is as good as it gets. Thank you for posting.

[ethanhopkin]

There are only 3 songs in the whole world that a line in the song makes me cry no matter how many times I hear it. This song is one of them, with "Oh my lady, now don't you cry hey." (Susana in Guy's song). One of my favorite songs ever.

[brendanseanbarry]

This is one of the few songs that gets me teary too. The line that does it for me is 'Here's to you old skinny Denis'.

[RickHempy]

Clark is a masterful songwriter. Thanks for posting.

[1BarefootCowboy]

Jerry Jeff Walker had the hit but Guy Clark totally owns this song. Great video!

[texasinafrica]

Thank-you, thank-you!  Perfect sound!!!

[jadamg21]

[Bociblanco]

Great, Great, Great!
