COLOUR                   RUNNING TIME: 75 MINS.

REVIEW: The Flatlanders Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock were founded in 1972 in Lubbock, Texas but gained little success in their brief original incarnation from 1972-1973 as they were always seen by the public as being alternative country but when the individual members found success in their solo careers, interest in The Flatlanders was rekindled with the band reuniting several times for Flatlanders performances. This video was shot in 2002 and shows the band performing on the Austin City Limits television show a television show that in the year 2014 celebrated forty years and over 300 episodes of which in recent years have been made available to the public in DVD format totally remastered and released in stunning 5.1 surround sound. It did not matter what genre of music the artist performed Austin City Limits was open to all genres some of the shows included artists such as Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Asleep At The Wheel and many others. The television show was outstandingly produced and artists were queuing up to get a chance to perform on the show.
