Saw this often overlooked but inspired band play half dozen times at least around this time in Austin - they always made my night. Note gtrist Clay Daniel's #EdHall t-shirt.

Sir Douglas Quintet, Live From Austin TX, 2006 on New West

Doug Sahm’s Sir Douglas Quintet recorded in 1981 but released in 2006 (on CD/DVD) / 2018 (vinyl) – live on Austin City Limits. (In 1981 that means the old Studio 6A at UT Austin, not the new Moody Theater).

This was part of a reunion tour after the quintet split up in the early 70s when Sahm put out his solo album.

My copy via a private sale is the 2018 three-sided LP version with one side etched, pressed by MPO.

The City of Austin recently installed these car ticklers in the middle of the bike lane. Stellar work, guys.
