One of the best performances ever by a non-football player in an Earl Campbell jersey.

I love how he can stand there like an everyday dude without any pretentiousness just oozes class and a person I would like to know.

[schepler]

That double-neck Fender is spectacular! I'll bet that thing is worth a fortune today.

[ChrisSunfield]

On the cusp of the 80's - a period of significant musical change - we have this gorgeous song that is truly timeless by not being tethered to any epoch is pop musical history.

LUV YA BLUE! Love seeing him wearing that Houston Oilers jersey when this was telecast. Mick Jagger followed suit and wore one when the Stones played in Houston the next year, 1981. Great undeniable tune...liked it as a rock loving youngster. Still do as an older rock fan.

This song has meant so much to me over the years. Wonderful to hear it again. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

I loved this show, I was 20 then and had been watching since it started, back the this was one of a very few ways to see bands or musicians, other than going to concerts, this guy was a great musician and songwriter. Thanks for flashback

I was only two years old when he performed this on Midnight Special. Wow 😮

[deandynamite]

Sort of reminds me of my Navy days. On beautiful nights you could watch the moon shining on the water and it was peaceful at times.

[jametz]
