Such a great band! I saw them half a dozen times at Liberty Lunch back in the late 80s, once at a live radio broadcast on KLBJ FM and then their reunion at the Parish in 2008. Got to speak with them a couple times and they were always very personable. I still play their albums and a lot of the other bands that used to play with them like Last Straw, Doctor’s Mob, Glass Eye, Grains of Faith…so many. I think someone dubbed it the New Sincerity Movement in the Austin Chronicle. It was a pretty cool time. So miss the Austin of that era!
Is it just me? Or is this one of the best songs that nobody's ever heard. I mean...c'mon. Only this live clip available, and with a whopping total of 1,280 views?? Criminal. Zeitgeist/The Reivers were a great little band. Thanks for posting this!
I saw them many times at Liberty Lunch. I was sure that they were going to be Austin's version of R.E.M. I still can't believe that they didn't become a national hit. We were lucky to experience them We're lucky now to have recordings on the Internet. BTW Kimmy, I still have a crush on you!
Love , love , the Reivers. "Freight Train Rain" is amazing.

Such a beautiful song!
So many great memories of seeing this band in Austin as a teenager and early 20s. Amazing live shows.
Saw them about a hundred years ago in Columbia, Mo. I can't say anything other than they had an amazing sound and should have made it big.
Man, I love the Reivers!
