How careers and cultures catch sail. Such a shame we get these sh*t as politicians never listened to our songs. May they burn up in their private hells and leave us all again to sing.

Very well done

the steel woods made this song so good.

Absolutely amazing, thank you😅

That's so beautiful to me ❤❤❤❤❤❤

‘77 probably

What a time to be alive, the world has changed so much for the worse 😔

I'm back, this is still a pisscutter of a tune.

Remember John from The Flick....very talented..RIP

I love this song and Guy Clark

Hi Terry, I am collecting different videos that feature James Gilmer... I am his son-in-law and putting together a remembrance video for his Celebration of Life. Please reach out to me as soon as possible.

A lovely song. I am watching this after a night out by myself, observing people filter out of the venue at closing time. Now it's taxis, no driving, great.

RIP Eric Taylor & James Gilmer

Thank you so very much for posting this priceless piece of music 🎶 ❤

Miss Nancy like a flower that just lasted a season

Anyone Know The Year of this Recording at Kerville ?? Anyone ???

I came across an Australian guy who used to do this in an Edinburgh pub, the Ensign Ewart, in the eighties. He got fed up seeing me as I'd always request it.

This is my Mona Lisa

Enjoyed, liked and full watch. 😎👍🤠🎹🎸🎶🎵👏🎼👌😁🎙😊Cheers, Bruce AKA Holden Beach Troubadour AKA The Master Busker Keep doing what you love and share it with the world.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. ❤👍

What a great place to shoot a video! I wanna be there.

Fun Dancing on the hill! Long ago but never forgotten

I saw him at a show in this location it was spectacular I was a yard away

There's a live Austin City Limits You Tube of Nanci doing "Once In A Blue Moon" that Lyle sings on.

GOAT

❤️🚂

What a beautiful version of one of Lyle's finest songs. Truly how the end of a show sometimes feels.

A Texas Treasure!!

Legend🎉

I’ve been listening to this band and this song for 40+ years. What talent! This is that most beautiful unrequited love song! Tonight, it took me a while to post this, and I hate pausing this song!! Thank you Shake Russel and Dana Cooper, very much!!

Lyle was born November 1, 1957 so around the time of this video 1978/79 ) he would have been around 21 years old.

Wow! So young ❤

I’ve only heard them on vinyl and RUclips. I’ve been to kerrville several times though but never close enough to see them. I envy everybody that had this experience of harmony and great musicianship. Dana Cooper is so very talented with his voice, that guitar, that harp. That harp is the most special thing about this video. His voice is amazing, too, yes it is!

I saw Shake and Dana for the first time in 1978 when a girl I was dating dragged me to one of their shows in Houston. Been a fan ever since and have seen them together and solo many many times since. Fantastic performers.

I got to spend a few intimate moments with Charlie when he was in the hospital. Just me and him. I think both our moms would have been proud of that meeting

Heartworn highway rules..long live guy..

Growing up in Houston i had the privilege of hearing Shake and Dana and i still have this album and still love this song and many others that they've sung and recorded. These songs can take you back but i still love listening to them today as much as i did when they were written. I believe that a well written song is timeless and continue to listen to them often. Its so hard to grasp that so much time has elapsed. It seems like yesterday!

Love it. Anyone know what year this is?

she's worth fishing for

🌹 Rest easy music man 🙏 🌹

What year was this performance?

Rest In Peace, Spider. You're a national treasure.

Just great!,

I ❤it

This tune will bring a few moments of the memories of that broken heart. Well played!

Saw these guys live back in the 80's in Bryan/College Station TX.

What a handsome talented man. RIP.

He's a wino, tried and true. Done about everything there is to do. He worked on freighters, he worked in bars. He worked on farms, 'n he worked on cars. It was white port, that put that look in his eye That grown men get when they need to cry And he sat down on the curb to rest And his head just fell down on his chest He said "Every single day it gets A little bit harder to handle and yet" And he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered And the words just rolled off down in the gutter Well he was elevator man in a cheap hotel In exchange for the rent on a one room cell He's old in years beyond his time Thanks to the world, and the white Port wine So he says "Son, " he always called me son He said, "Life for you has just begun" And he told me a story that I heard before How he fell in love with a Dallas whore Well he could cut through the years to the very night When it ended, in a whore house fight And she turned his last proposal down In favor of being a girl about town Now it's been seventeen years right in line And he ain't been straight none of the time Too many days of fightin' the weather And too many nights of not being together So he died Well when they went through his personal affects In among the stubs from the welfare checks Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door An address in Dallas, and nothin' more The welfare people provided the priest A couple from the mission down the street Sang Amazing Grace, and no one cried 'Cept some woman in black, way off to the side We all left and she was standing there Black veil covering her silver hair And 'ol One-Eyed John said her name was Alice And she used to be a whore in Dallas Let him roar, Lord let him roll Bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his soul Lord, let him roll, Lord let him roar He always said that heaven Was just a Dallas whore.

It don't get better than him

Gilmer is my grandpa, very cool dude.
