Yes please continue to release more of these episodes, especially more of the earlier ones from '81-'82 if you can. My family and I were at these tapings, it's great to see videos of my grandmother in the audience again enjoying herself.

I saw Chris, Al, Bernie Leadon at the Ranchmans in cowville during this time. It was kinda sad....they were amazing but only a dozen people turned up, most were drunk and didn't know who they were watching.

[@philoats1738]

Wow this is cool, i was there! Have not seen it since it was aired back in 83! And i’m totally shown in the audience haha

Who's the other steel player? I only say other because Al Perkins graced this show with his presence.

[@oddtoddlermusic6786]

Because that guy is great👍

[@karenhutzcal8698]

The way he was playing I'm wondering if there was a prerecorded track. He definitely wanted his face on camera!

[@jimmod7833]

Yep I was thinking it was cool to have steel behind Al's dobro

[@ricksabbatini1992]

Is the pedal steel player doing a comedy bit? In the gene clark episode he appears to be playing air guitar during the solos
