A SUNDAY MUSICAL TREAT!
As with Gordon Lightfoot, I've seen Kris Kristofferson in disparate concert venue settings as Cincinnati's Music Hall, in Texas at a dinner theater twice and later a small bar (twice). Unlike Gordon, who often drives his own rental car to a concert, when I saw Kris, he was using a leased tour bus whose upper-front lighted signage read "NOBODY YOU'D KNOW". In this film, we have the beautiful Lorrie Morgan quietly sitting behind Kris but not offering backing vocals. But I digress...Hey, see how many legends on stage you can identify in the first You Tube. With Kristofferson, it's all about how a song is constructed. And his interpretations are great.

I'll take that challenge! ;o)
I saw Lorrie Morgan, Janie Frickie, Mickey Gilley, Bobby Bare, Ralph Emery, Crystal Gayle, Mel Tillis, Gene Watson, Porter Waggoner, Billy Joe Shaver, George "Goober" Lindsay, Rex Allen, Jr. and BJ Thomas. There was another man and woman that I couldn't see well enough to identify for sure, but the woman behind Bobby Bare looks like Barbara Fairchild.
Classic country music is one of my favorite things. ;o)
Have a great Sunday, Michael, and Happy Mother's Day to your Mom. I hope you're treating her to some flowers or something else that she enjoys.
Love and hugs,
Diane
Nice treat! Thanks!.
diane j.: YOU WIN!!! That is awesome.
Bud: I am happy to see you enjoyed this!
I'd love a treat like that, how wonderful.
Sometimes, when talented people perform, it's a little bit like watching magic come to life.
Ellee: Glad you enjoyed!!!!
Jessica: Exactly! Music IS magic! :)Thanks for stopping by, Jessica. I owe you a visit--big time!
I love the "nobody you'd know"
"Help Me Make It Through The Night" what a great song, and Rita has such a distinctive and beautiful voice that just makes that song come to life.
I have always enjoyed Kris Kristofferson's movies more than his music.
Patti: ME TOO! I have thought about that for years and wish I'd see it again!
p m: She's back to recording and performing!
Walker: My first Kristofferson movie was the awful "Blume in Love", then "The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea". Any musical artist who moves in both arenas ala Rick Nelson is fascinating to me.
