- Here is so more footage from the "Lone Star Hour" in 1974! Leon Russell, at the time one of the biggest rock acts in the world, sent his newly formed video company ShelterVision to Austin to shoot musicians in clubs and outdoors. ShelterVision's footage was edited into six hour long "Lone Star Cross Country Music Specials," they aimed to air on eleven Texas television stations including stereo sound to be simulcast on FM stations. Each special was supposed to be broadcasted [regionally by ABC] in 10 (and later 12) ADls - or areas of dominating influence - which included San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston, and other areas. Shot in different venues all over Texas and hosted by Willie Nelson, the series featured Asleep at the Wheel, Greezy Wheels, Jerry Jeff Walker and the Lost Gonzo Band, Rusty Wier, Jimmy Buffett, Ray Wylie Hubbard, B.W. Stevenson, Tracy Nelson, Willis Allan Ramsey, Bobby Bare, Steve Fromholz, Larry Hosserford, Kenneth Threadgill, Doug Kershaw, a short guest appearance from Waylon Jennings and of course Nelson and his band. Jerry Retzloff who was in charge of Lonestar back then reviewed the guest artists with Willie because as host he could best figure which artists would be best-suited for each show." he said. "And it was funky. It wasn't network quality in terms of a 'Hee Haw' for example, but it was what we wanted. The feeling was that you were sitting right there as you watched it on the screen and listened to it on the stereo, It was not hype, and everybody involved has been glad to be a part of it." Eventually funding for the series fell short, and all the episodes did not air. Now I have found the footage and have brought it back to life. It is amazing and I hope ya'll enjoy as much as I did!

What a treasure! Willie's vocals are great here, and its a treat to see him on electric. Do you know who is on fiddle / mandolin?

Thank you man, you r doing a nice job
great video
This was filmed in Texas By God.
Not too bad for a bunch of beach bums. Miss Mary on fiddle is like fresh honey on a hot sweet roll.
Look at all that shiny beautiful man hair. ❤
Anyone know where this was filmed?
From the paperwork I have found, they called it the “Shelter Ranch”. ShelterVision, Leon Russell’s company was sent down there to film this Tv show. So I am guessing Leon had some property outside of Austin that they just filmed at.
Update, this would’ve been in a pasture next to the ShelterVision headquarters outside of Austin.
Thanks for sharing!! Great footage!!
