Yes indeed, Denny was an incredible musician and a great friend as well. We lost him in April this year, and I really miss him. Austin is a colder and less musical place without him.
I’ve always been a Stones fan but this version is better then theirs, btw I’m pretty sure Lou Ann has had a few to many - just looking at her mannerisms and coming off stage - yep she’s awesome... but pissed
Damn!! I sure do miss the real Austin this video so aptly represents!! Nuevo Austin is just any other big Texas City with different geography. A play ground for the corporate clones. Austin sold its soul for a jelly roll. So sad.
Terrific cover of the Barbara Lynn Ozen hit (The Rolling Stones also made the song popular). Barbara Lynn is terrific, also wrote, "You'll Lose A Good Thing;" digging Lou Ann Barton's vocals!
I remember Will and Charlie hanging out at Antone's when they were just kids , I believe it was their Mom that would bring them in for The Monday Jam Sessions, they were good as kids, Doyle Bramhill Jr would sit in also
That’s Jimmie Lee , Stevie Ray’s Big Brother Vaughan That Is Indeed on Rhythm , Denny Freeman & Will Sexton On Leads , Lou Ann Barton On Godmother Vocals , W .C. Clark On Bass & Frosty On Drums & Will Is Not Even 18 At The Time Of This Recording On The Old Austin City Limits Studio 6 On 26th & Guadalupe At The University Of Texas Circa 1979 ?
The Stones didn’t steal it, they covered it and gave full credit to Barbara Lynn. She will have earned more in royalties from their version than her own.
Thanks, and through a series of fortunate events I happened upon a recording of the original show. I've seen other posts from the same, but not this and got permission to post it. "All the best to you."
So glad you did, this is amazing! So good to see my friends up there on that stage( though I didn't meet them till a couple or few years later, but this show was part of the reason I wanted to meet them!). The guitars are great and WC on bass and Frosty on drums is a cool rhythm section. I shared a version of this with a high school buddy/bandmate of Denny's, and he sent me this one back. Even better! What other Austin/ Freeman stuff do you have? I'm looking at doing an archive and history on my friend Denny and am interested in source material.
1989. This is part of the Austin City Limits show that was W.C. Clark's 50th birthday party. The other part of it was Stevie Ray Vaughan's second and final performance on ACL. The show was originally broadcast the week Stevie was killed in 1990, in a helicopter crash.
Have a laugh, just look at these lot fucking up Barbara Lynn’s original song, knowing America, I’m pretty sure they think that it’s a Rolling Stones song hahahaha!!! todays generation what the hell do they really know.
