 | Austin City Limits ist eine berühmte und preisgekrönte TV-Sendung aus Austin, Texas, in der seit Bestehen alles, was Rang und Namen hat, live aufgetreten ist und noch auftreten wird. Diese Fernsehsendungen haben üblicherweise eine Laufzeit von 30 Minuten. Die neu geschnittenen Fassungen der Auftritte enthalten alle Songs, die im Rahmen der TV-Sendung ausgestrahlt worden sind und zudem bisher unveröffentlichtes Material der Originalbänder. Die DVDs wurden im 5.1 Surround Sound remixed und remastered, um so die bestmögliche Qualität von Konzert-DVDs zu erhalten.
Mehr als 400 Shows liegen in den Austin City Limits-Archiven, viele Künstler waren lediglich einmal aufgetreten und es entstanden seltene Fernsehauftritte von vielen der besten Musiker des Landes.
Die Show mit ROY BUCHANAN wurde am 15.11.1976 aufgezeichnet.
At first he was called “the greatest unknown guitarist in the world,” but within a few years “Rolling Stone magazine declared him “one of the three greatest living guitarists.” Sadly, the life and extraordinary talents of Roy Buchanan were cut short at the all-too-young ahe of 48, when a career marked by frustration, disappointmment and alcohol abuse ended in tragedy when he apparently took his own life in 1988.
The performance, captured on the ACL stage in 1976, shows Roy Buchanan in his prime at the age of 37. Indeed, it may well be the best telecaster high-quality audio/video recording of his complete performance known to exist. One of the pioneers of the telecaster sound, he was noted for his use of note bending, volume swells, staccato runs and “pinch” harmonics. He is considered by many to be one of America’s most soulful guitar masters, and even 20 years oted fans, including some of rock guitar’s greatest (just ask Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson or Bill Gibbons).
He bought his first telecaster at the aged of 13, and through the 1960s played countless gigs as a sideman for nameless rock bands before being “discovered” by the likes of Joohn Lennon, Eric Clapton and even Merle Haggard. He went on to gold record sales and worldwide tours with Lonnie Mack, the Allman Brothers and many other blues/rock guitar icons. But he battled record labels for artistic control and shortly after his ACL performance actually quit recording altogether out of frustration. A brief comeback a few years later showed promise, but as so often happens, he lost the war with his personal demons.

No other television program has ever received this honor.
