The beginning of the end of austin. This is when they started pimpinhg out the best of the best. Too bad they couldn't leave well enough, aione. It was heaven on earth in the 70s. Now it's any city USA. Love ELH, but dam i miss Austin.
Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell’s performance on Austin City Limits in 1982 was nothing short of perfection. This show was the first time that Emmylou had made an appearance on ACL, and it was also Rodney’s debut as well as his last time performing with the Cherry Bombs before launching a solo career.
This seems to be the best quality of sound and video for this concert on YT, so thanks. I love the "renegade" kind of raspy and ethereal Emmylou here. I was a rocker and bought Elite Hotel because of local "progressive rock" FM station WJLN in Birmingham, AL turning me on to Emmylou with the cuts they played from Elite Hotel. Thus began a long and enduring love of her music. I had only heard James Taylor's version of Millworker until this video and I might like this version even better which says a lot since I found that song as Taylor performed it really moving as related to my own factory experience and in my mind conjuring an earlier time when the factory was, perhaps, the only choice for so many hapless workers during the industrial revolution.
Look and see how there is absolutely no tension in her throat while she's singing -Emmy Lou is one of a kind.
Willie Nelson said there are two kinds of men, those that love her and those that haven’t meet her yet.

"One gray haired lady to another" And one beautiful gray haired lady at that.
Emmylou... Amazing. Rodney... Far more amazing than most people realize. Such a great storyteller. Kudos to both!!!
So much talent and beauty in one person. Hardly seems fair.
Great versions of the songs!
Gray and 35 never looked better!
