  • From my collection of off-the-air VHS recordings, Roger Miller performs a 28-minute set on Austin City Limits in 1983. Miller sings a duet with his wife, Mary Arnold, and is joined by Willie Nelson, who sings and plays on the last two tunes.
    Many thanks to RUclipsr Reafus53 for coding the start times of the songs:
    Me and Bobby McGee - 1:00
    Dang Me - 4:45
    You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd - 8:03
    Chug-a-Lug, Chug-a-Lug - 8:43
    England Swings - 9:45
    Husbands and Wives (with wife Mary Miller) - 12:02
    King of the Road - 14:35
    I Can't Go On this Way - 16:50
    Invitation to the Blues - 19:12
    Old Friends (with Willie Nelson) - 21:50
    Milk Cow Blues (with Willie) - 25:34
    (Danny Gets a couple quick solos around 20:29, and 27:40... Willie looks on admiringly on the second one...)
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    My recording was made from a re-run in 1996. Some selections from this program are available elsewhere on RUclips, I believe my recording of the entire set offers a little bit better picture and sound. The second portion of this 1996 one-hour program presented a 26-minute set by Marty Robbins. I also recorded that set; and, it can be seen and heard at: • Marty Robbins live in ...

    We lost Roger way too long ago. I lost my wife Sept 2 2023 and watching this makes me appreciate each and every day more! Willie just passed 90 so we have no idea how long we have. Peace and love to all reading this as losing my wife Icie is unbearable!

      Dude feels. But I didn't even know it was him back then. my dad introduced me to his music and I loved it. But I've always been in love with folk, wether Celtic and Nordic folk, or american folk and bluegrass. Roger Miller though is unmatched. Bob Dylan can suck it.

    Roger was a good friend when I met him in Vegas. Roger always played at the Sahara Hotel. Too bad his museum closed in Erick, Ok. One of the greatest songwriters of all time, Roger was a funny man. Even though he died in 1992, I still miss him. Our fun times in Vegas, Nashville and any time he came through or near Oklahoma, we got together.

    Lived in Victorville, Ca in the early 1990s. The town hosted a bluegrass festival annually. In 1992 I think the headliners was to be Michael Martin Murphy who canceled at the last minute. The festival organizer announced he had a friend in Nashville who flew out Sat night to be fill in. That friend turned out to be Roger Miller. One of my favorite concerts I've ever been to. Did every one of his songs and some of others., Played for about 3 hours on a hot Sunday afternoon.

      I love Electric Willie!
      Yes, I know that means something different in the UK.
      He doesn't play electric often but I consider it treasure any time I find a clip of it.
      An old album Live at the Panther Hall Ballroom is on RUclips now.
      This was recorded before he had found Trigger.
      I don't know what electric guitar he plays but he plays it very well.
      That album is a fascinating snap shot of pre fame, pre trigger Willie.

Danny Gatton !!! Just a monster of a player who showed a kid named Joe Bonnamosso a lot of the licks he plays today . I’m only one sing into this video so I’m not sure how much actual playing Danny shows on here but if anyone is reading this & doesn’t know who Danny Gatton is & your a Guitar nerd like myself then look him up !! It will be worth your time for sure!
