GILLEY'S - PASADENA, TX: SEPTEMBER 15, 1981
Recorded live on September 15, 1981, Live At Gilley’s captures Kris Kristofferson
at a time in his career where he and his band were firing on all
cylinders. Kristofferson was with a full band out on the road that
featured Stephen Bruton, Donnie Fritts and Billy Swan. On this night,
the band stopped by Gilley’s Honkytonk in Pasadena, Texas to deliver a
once in a lifetime performance featuring the hits, “Me And Bobby McGee”,
“The Pilgrim” and “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down.”
“What
a great album this is! Classic Kristofferson songs throughout, and
live!! Kris was in his prime and his vocals were outstanding and very
soulful as always.” - George Strait
“Kris Kristofferson was such an
amazing songwriter, a great performer, and was a good match for our
crowd. It was totally jam-packed every night, but we’d have an
especially big crowd whenever an artist like Kris would come to town.” -
Mickey Gilley
