I found this on the internet,last time at Dillo's,after the introduction Commander Cody plays a tribute to the Dillo,great steel playing.
I considered it Bobby Black,but on the next song you'll see his face and it's not Bobby,could it be Pete Siegel? |

What a cool vid! I had no idea this existed, let alone available on YT. Cody is having a blast!
Check out all 11 of these classic shoots. |

I was in the audience that night and it was a blast! I do think that everyone on stage was having at least as good a time - if not better - than those of us in attendance! Sure do miss that place (AWH). But more so - I miss The Lost Planet Airmen!

Sad/happy memories... I wasn't there that night, I was on the road with Dottsy. But I have soooooo many memories of that wonderful old building. I played there many, many, many times.
It wasn't a skating rink that I can recall, as Jerry Jeff (erroneously ?) says in the video. It was the National Guard Armory Bldg. before it became the Armadillo WHQ. I first played there in June 1972 with Michael (Martin) Murphey.
I did my time w/ Jerry Jeff Walker... and I think my memory MIGHT be better than his. But, you never can tell. Right, Stu?
(Schulman was there for a lot of it!!!)

Herb,Right you are!It was a National Guard Armory.I think that I played there 35 times with about 6 different bands,I used to keep a list of that kinda stuff.Here's a funny Armadillo story.Big Ricki The Guacamole Queen [a very tall big woman]who was mentioned in a Frank Zappa song,and was also painted by Jim Franklin on one of the wall paintings at the Dillo grabbed our keyboard player Riley Osborn after our gig threw him over her shoulder and said"Your Going Home With Me"Riley started kicking and yelling Help,She finally put him down..Big Ol' Girl.I saw Cody one night with Bobby Black,Tower Of Power was playing across the street at the Auditorium,And The T.O.P. horns came over and joined Commander Cody...It didn't get no better than that!Herb I know that your memory is better than Jacky Jack's,I've got way too many disgusting stories about him.I miss Jan Beeman's giant Nachos after the gig.

Posted 15 Aug 2008 9:30 pm Nachos!

Those are still the nachos I judge every nacho by!
Herb & Stu - I saw both you a zillion times back then. And - I was the stage manager at Austin City Limits for the '77 season. A lot of Nashville guys through there that year. But I distinctly remember Jerry Jeff coming in one night really wanting to get on stage with whoever was there. He could barely stand up - thus, he didn't quite make it much farther than the studio doors.
Tons of great memories...!
