Product Description

Kris Kristofferson has an unusual resume. Brownsville, Texas-born, football star and Golden Gloves boxer in college, Rhodes scholar at Oxford, Army captain, and chopper pilot, studio janitor, part-time bartender, leading man opposite Barbara Streisand and Jane Fonda. But on his passport, under occupation it reads songwriter. And that, more than anything, sums up the essence of Kris Kristofferson. This performance from September 1981 captures Kris in his prime, and includes classics like Me and Bobby McGee, Loving Her Was Easier, Why Me?, and Sunday Mornin Comin Down.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic
After just watching this for the first time (there will be countless more to come), I'm blown away -- what a beautiful flashback! Lots of fun to see the guys in the band again too, and Kris . . . perfection. 'Nuf said.

Brilliant
This DVD is Kristofferson at his best, and it don't get any better than that. The backing group including Donnie Fritts and Billy Swan are superb.

Classic Kris
There is nothing like kicking back, hitting play, and then letting the sonorous voice of Kris Kristofferson wash over you while you indulge in a moment of forever... I first listened to "Me and Bobby Mcgee" when it was performed by Gordon Lightfoot. Soon after, I discovered the Kristofferson version and avidly set about collecting every version possible: Janis Joplin (swoon), the Grateful Dead (oh, man, what a guitar lick), Waylon Jennings...but there is only one Kris Kristofferson. This DVD is an essential part of any Kristofferson collection. In fact, there is not a disappointing note or moment on it. Its companion DVDs are also excellent (all the Austin concerts), but this DVD is exceptional.
