\n These came out in 2006 \u2014 or at least that\u2019s when I got \u2019em. Here\u2019s what I said about them back then (with some minor editing):<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four more shows from the depths of Austin City Limits\u2018 vaults \u2014 and four more winners.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" Best of the lot: Doug Sahm and Sir Douglas Quintet\u2018s 1981 show,which features a hippie-haired Sahm, Augie Meyers on roller-rink organ, and an hour-long set that includes Mendocino, San Antone, She\u2019s About A Mover, 96 Tears and 13 more Tex-Mex gems. It\u2019s a groover\u2019s paradise, baby.\u00a0 Not far behind: Texas songwriter and eternal badass Billy Joe Shaver\u2018s rough-hewn versions of I Been To Georgia On A Fast Train, Willy The Wandering Gypsy And Me and I\u2019m Just An Old Chunk Of Coal from his 1984 appearance with son Eddy; Kris Kristofferson\u2018s 1981 set highlighted by his own Help Me Make It Through The Night, Me And Bobby McGee, For The Good Times and Sunday Mornin\u2019 Comin\u2019 Down; and the ever-lovable Willie Nelson\u2018s hour-long 1990 show, which kicks off with Whiskey River and includes Crazy, Night Life, On The Road Again and a couple of those Kristofferson classics. As always, the DVDs feature unaired footage and decent 5.1 remixes.<\/p>\n
