With one foot in the world of longhaired rock and the other firmly entrenched in the country tradition, singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson changed the direction of Nashville with poetic, unflinching tales of drunkenness, betrayal, and despair flavored with nimble guitar work and an overwhelmingly literary attention to detail. The legendary country outlaw is captured live in this 1981 appearance on PBS's Austin City Limits, which has been expanded from its televised half-hour episode to include all 90 minutes of Kristofferson's performance, including signature songs like 'Me and Bobby McGee', 'For the Good Times', 'Help Me Make it Through the Night', and 'Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down'.

5Fantastic  Jun 20, 2006 By L. Davies
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.

5Brilliant  Jul 19, 2006 By J. Pike "jaypea"
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.

5Classic Kris  Sep 06, 2007 By Dr. J. E. Nel "Honoris"
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.

5Kris Kristofferson: In action, live  Jan 30, 2009 By P. Smith "Pat"
I have seen Kris Kristofferson in the 80's immediately I was taken back to those times. The songs are great! All his greatest hits are there along with some lesser known songs that may wow you. Kris with his Border Lords puts on a high energy show. If you enjoy Kristofferson, you will definitely want to have this item.

One disappointment to note, the concert looks like it was filmed with one camera and rarely moved its focus away from Kris. I would have liked to have seen some views of the audience reacting to the concert.

5Kris  Feb 17, 2007 By Sandra K. Eames
This is an excellent bio/singing dvd. He sings a lot of his good songs and is very informative on his life. I am one of his Biggest fans so I can't say anything bad about him. He's the best!
