- This is an amazing performance of the band in their prime from 1974 at the Texas Opry House. Each member has their own spotlight during the show at one point or another.
Bobbie Nelson is no where to be seen in this footage - perhaps the only living man to know the answer on why she was absent that night is Willie himself.
About half way through the show, Sammi Smith joins the band on stage for a quick duet. After they preform "Georgia on a Fast Train" Willie and Sammi share a kiss at 47:39:). Willie tells her to not go too far - as she’ll be coming back to to sing her hit “Help Me Make it Through the Night.” But unfortunately, that footage has been lost to history.
How can that be, you ask? I wondered the same thing. Someone tracked down Bill Young, who was in charge of the television programming back then. He explained that Willie Nelson's episode of Opry House was a 90-minute show. Back in those days, you would sometimes film on a 65-minute tape and then a 30 minute tape and marry the two together where the overlap occurs. In preparing to put the series together for KERA’s 50th, Bill says he and his staff turned the building over searching for that second tape to no avail.
So Smith’s performance, plus a special appearance by Jerry Jeff Walker to sing “Up Against the Wall Red Neck Mother,” are lost to history.
Gone to that great television in the sky. Luckily we hung on to the first hour of this program.
I hope you enjoy as much as I did:)!

He also was 41, and had only attained enough success to do music as his main gig the year before, at 40 years old. So, people who have that dream and goal should never say never! Especially if they're as awesome as Willie is here
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for uploading this for us to enjoy. This music is healing me from my illness and depression. I'm feeling inspired to turn away from news, politics and social media to just focus on music again. God bless you all.
Jody Payne sang beautifully. But you told him she’s not you!!❤
❤❤❤Such sadness too!!Well, I think with the business, drinking and playing hurtful games!!
I Love video I’ve many nights!!❤❤❤ Thank you Willie Nelson, for all your. Songs!
Hola! Em trobo com tu, aquesta música m'alivia, em reconforta la ànima. Que tinguis sort a la vida.
I was loving Willies 90 Birthday , “ long story short”. Then one day it was no longer availablevon Paramount. I have tried to find it , in vain. Hope someone will bring it back. So very entertaining. There is already a shortage of hgood entertainment.
Would you like me to upload it for you?
@@VintageWillie ha.... Ha
...ha and a hardy har. Thanx.
@@VintageWillie Did you upload it?
@@ChrisBlaschke No. it’s heavily copyrighted
That’s too bad!
This account is the gift that keeps on giving! Nothing equivalent to these 74 and 75 shows!
I was out of the loop on the Texas music revival scene of outlaws with Willie and Waylon and the boys. Was it this era when they were so wild? Well, wild as can be - I remember sitting in this sleazy honkey tonk in 78 and "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille," was every other song. Willie didnt' do it, but it reminds me of hm....then there was the sad songs and the bad songs and blue eyes crying in the rain as they whooped it up in Lubbock Texas, ain't nobody feeling no pain -- with Willy, Waylon and the Boys. Well, Steve Earl wasn't doing so hot -- but I was in my late teens.... I was more interested in the Neil and the Stones. -- but I always loved Willie --- what a testament to hard but good living.
Willie and his band in the 74-75 era were absolutely amazing! Probably the best band in America at that time and they left an incredible lasting legacy in the history of American music
@@Mrmustard1380That is hard, we also had Waylon and his band at their prime in this same period
This mid 70’s outlaw country sound is my favorite. It was just so pure and raw. Songs from the heart.
Grateful I had a brother-in-law stationed in Texas who turned us on to Willie at just about this point in time. We felt like we were on to something that most folks didn’t know: Willie is one of those great artists who are ahead of their time. Timeless
Willie, You are the best. I can listen to Your music every day!!!
And I do anytime I get a few minutes.❤
The video quality is great. Cant beat that good ole film.
Amen
@@VintageWillie you! Thank you for posting.
@@charlesshepherd2004 My friends and I do the same, I am probably much younger than you but these concerts have made me obsessed...
Thanks for sharing this Awesome video of Willie & the Family band! I especially loved hearing Jody Payne sing with Willie and his solo at 10:34! So hard to believe its been 50 years ago....
❤❤Love this video!! I can’t believe she ‘s gone!! Yes I’m giving fishing!! Mickey. And a lot of sadness, in Willie life!! He telling that to his band member, Willie she’s not for you!!
Loved Jody Payne song, so sweet!!❤❤
Willie warning him that she other greener pastures!! And Willie that he takes her back!!
Wow!!
Wow, jody has an amazing voice, i love that song he did
YEAH WILLIE YOU ARE THE BEST A LEGEND THEN AND THE LEGEND NOW I LIKE TO LISTEN TO YOU
they said on his birthday special the other night that he has outlived all his band mates.....sad -- but there were plenty to celebrate with him being 90 at Hollywood Bowl. My mother is 90. It is not easy for anyone. You have do to a. lot of non complaining and fake smiling --- my grandfather who lived to be 97, kept saying at about 96 - "You DO NOT want to live this long." I won't. Happy Birthday Willie, it's a miracle you did -- but you were never into the hard stuff much and you must have genes. I hope Lucas lives that long -- though I won't be around to see it. He is a perfect example of family caring for family in a low key but significant way. He said he only had one rule growing up: "Just don't be an asshole." -- good advice -- and he surely is. not....JMHO thanks.
Mikey passed? I didn't realise 😪😪😪
@@soylentgreen9314 no one passed, mot Willie, not Lukas and I don’t know what Mikey you’re referring to. Sorry matr
@@soylentgreen9314nope, Mickey is very much alive and well. So this comment isn’t true. Although I believe Mickey is the only original family band member left.
Great comment.
Thank you you for the music ❤
What a treat to see Willie at his prime. His voice is so great and iconic that you just want to listen to it all the time.
Imagine that hole has been in his guitar for over 50 years now. The guitar is like like Willie. Gets old but never retires.🤠
Don't remember the concert, but my parents took me to see Willie perform at the Austin Opry House. Steve Fromholz opened and it was an incredible show. Also was graced with seeing the 2nd showing of Willie's 4th of July Picnic.... So thankful for my Dad giving me the appreciation for Country Music and especially the Red Headed Stranger. RIP Dad & Long LIve Willie!!!
Love u baby❤❤❤❤❤debbie
grab me by the ears. chunk me by a campfire, one speaker cassette player. 13 years old and drinking smuggled beer. Willie and Waylon and boys
Trigger looks so young!
❤❤❤
❤❤ I am happy that i am not the only one who knows who trigger is 😊
just an amazing thing to see Willie at this stage in his career. Thanks for posting this!
Love this Vintage tape Willie Nelson, Jody Payne ( RIP), Mickey Conger. Willie is telling Jody Payne, that his lies, he’s she’s not for you!! She just looks greener pastures, with someone new!! She comes back to me. It sounds like that was his wife or Lover.❤❤❤❤
Bloody Merry Christmas Morning ❤❤❤Willie Nelson forever.
I like still looking at Willey, he reminds me of my Dad but Dad looked some like Willie too. My Dads frist cousin Willie is, but my Dad hurt his back in road a limb from a tree broke with him. My Aunt Emilee told Willie when they were 9/10 years ol joe broke his back they think but want tell Dad so Willie played what he was learning on his guitar be4 they moved to texas. Dad told me the story Aunt Eermilee told it to me frist. Willie said he sure did instead of playing. 😊. My Dads mother was a Smothers who married into Merriman family.
Every time I see Willie working & soothing that guitar neck with his finger work, WHOOEE I just sit & grin in awe! Thank you so very much Willie! 😊👍👍
Live forever Willie.
Hey folks, someones got to it. Turned out to be willie. Just plain Devine. I saw willie open for the grateful dead at meadowlands 78 or 79. Naturally i remember little but these music and videos are rocking my world. This dude plays the guitar beyond sings like the soul of Satchmo. What a treasure. God bless willie Nelson and The United Sort of states. By the way I shook jerry Garcias hand Once so i reckon that I shook the Hand That shook willies hand. Peace family.
Crazy ❤he’s singing the one of the biggest at time!! He still has smiling eyes!! No matter how feels, singing heart breaking song, they twinkle as he sings!!
And all his adult children seem to be very there Dad, 6 girls, Lukas and Micah are young musicians with heads on there shoulders. Realizing alcohol and drugs will them greatly. Lukas level head, and just from Dad, and other musicians. Lukas is a man of many talents, classical piano, his style of music. Even sound like beautiful voice, he has own style that is unique from blues from SRV at 13. As has better , and composing new songs, different Loves, Turn off The News And Build A Garden, Also taught Brad Copper how A to be A rockstar!! In the A Star is Born and became good Lady Ga Gaa. . He so kind to everyone in the audience, fans, graduate to him , so down to earth. And believes kind to all.❤❤❤❤ Nelson’s is full of Love and kindness. Most famous ruin themselves and they be uneffected by being famous people!!
I’m going fishing too , ❤❤❤I didn’t know he sung songs too cool I like it. There’s the harmonica.
No stopping or hiding where been!!❤Heart that giving back!! I must see one time in 2024!! And @ Farm Aid ASAP when announce tickets, donations, and whatever keepsakes I want to buy!!

Honestly, I think Jody Payne is a way better singer than Willie…
That dude voice is on an another level …
🎸
I completely disagree. But your opinion is just as valued as mine!
