This live recording came shortly after the release of their album "Lend Me A Hand," which was launched just weeks prior, marking an exciting phase in their career. The band, known for their seamless blend of genres and improvisational prowess, was riding high on their reputation as a premier jam band during this period. Interestingly, this concert took place in Austin, the hometown of Willie Nelson himself, adding a delightful layer of local connection to the performance. Fans could feel the electric atmosphere as the band not only celebrated their new material but also honored the legacy of country music through this iconic cover.
