FULL CONCERT (KERA studios Sept. 10, 1974) Willie Nelson

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:)!
