Gary P. Nunn does have a label. Not a giant label, but I've got two of his albums. Does anyone else have "Armadillo Crossing" or "What I like about Texas"?

This is music the way it should be done: without any label attached. Gary Nunn, JJW and the Lost Gonzo Band, Ray Wiley Hubbard, Leon Russell, Willie, Waylon. 30-35 years later the music still sound fine.

Indeed! I love that there are these video out there...I watched them with Dad the other night and he had running commentary the whole time!

I got to know your dad back in those days. The company I was with did some location recording of JJWalker and Thomas and the rest of the Gonzos played with him. Spent a little time taking some of his money playing cards and getting to know a bit about him. Good man. Straight shooter. Funny how the circle turns.

Man this brings me back to some great times. This is one of my favorite songs of all time!Thank you so much for posting this.

I've been a fan of JJW going back to the very early 70's. I always thought that Tomas Ramirez added a great element with his sax playing. I alway wondered what happened to him.

This was held at Texas World Speedway outside of College Station, TX. Took place over 3 days around the July 4th holiday. 2 buddies and I went to freshman orientation at A&M and then stayed over and went to this event. Camped out for three nights and snuck back into the dorm to shower a couple of times. Crazy time. Ungodly hot. More drugs around than a pharmacy. They've got a poster from this picnic hanging in the Chicken Oil Co. in Bryan that lists all of the performers.

I love that these videos are up...Tomas Ramirez (sax player in the Lost Gonzo Band) is my father and I just love going back in time to see and hear him play these songs.Thanks for putting them up!

Great clip! Thanks for posting. Does anybody know if the early picnics are going to come out on DVD? The film quality seems pretty good. Was this held at Texas A&M? It's funny to think those young chicks are now early 50s age grandmothers. If the grandkids only knew!
