My Dad, Paul Sanchez on stand-up bass, a member of the band “The Ramblers”. If anyone went to see the band often, you may have remembered a 10 year old kid hanging around the bar.

Beautiful he died in such an unnecessary way RIP as he said with Townes his spirit lives through all of us in song

Just got introduced recently to this man's music. I'm astounded by the quality of the lyrics and the music. If I could only fly and Clay Pigeons are absolute classics but I'm sure there are many more. R.I.P. Blaze.

Wow, this has got to be some of the best Blaze Foley video there is. Very rare stuff. But then, so are his recordings. Hopefully, some of those mystery master tapes will show up someday in someone's garage or something.

If anyone wants to learn more about Michael David Fuller ( Blaze Foley ), I cannot recommend anything more highly than the book Living In The Woods In A Tree by Sybil Rosen, the girl the song If I Could Only Fly was written both for and about. Even were Ms Rosen not a phenomenal writer ( she is ), simply the story of Blaze Foley would be engrossing enough. But the subtlety, passion and insightful nuances of life, love and discovery, of dogged determination, of loss and regret with which Ms Rosen tells the tale is simply spell-binding. If interested, Google the title. There are many places it can be found. It really is a one-of-a-kind book.

Wonderful document. Love Blaze. Wow! what a songwriter/performer. Thank you for sharing.

should have millions of views.

His songs sound like its 1930 something. I have listened to this a dozen times today alone. It never gets old but it feels very old. I hope that makes sense. Blaze put so much of his emotions into his songs. Thanks for the music. May you be at peace Blaze.

To me Blaze this sounds and looks a little like Captain Beefheart or is just me that thinks this way, I bet others see and hear a little of what I have discovered. This is the first time that I got Townes and Blaze on the the screen and i and not disappointed, in fact, I and very happy to find this, both men look, sound and play great

Blaze drifted from my radar some years ago, but recently while researching Philip Donnolly , Blaze resurfaced . TVZ & Blaze had self-destruction buttons that were jammed in with insecurities and simple alcoholism. When you get addicted you leave all your future behind you and your hopes and dreams on a liqueur store shelf. We all got crazy in us, everybody, but most manage never to let it take hold or even know about it.... but for some of us... crazy has always been on the outside and we keep the real person hidden deep inside, except for maybe one avenue out .... that was in writing songs for those guys

his voice reminds me of frank zappa when he's goin a little lower haha

Is it just me or some of his singing, especially on the low notes, is pretty similar to Frank Zappa's? I don't know if Zappa would ever have admitted to be inspired by a country musician, and maybe this is pure coincidence. But the funny aspects of Foley's lyrics could even have inspired Zappa's great songwriting... Maybe?

is there any more footage out there of Blaze and Townes singing together?

Any idea what’s the location of the performance? Where in Austin was this performance?

Too bad no one has footage like this of Gary Allison. However the Gary Allison's and Danny Webb's of the world just fall through cracks. They get remembered as that drunk injun and that guy who kept my trees beautiful. Gary had some amazing songs, but the police shot him down unarmed. Danny still has beautiful songs you could hear if you happen to be around lake Bastrop at some point and know the right folks. Just sayin fail to include these two in any telling of the other's stories is a major historical lapse.

Do I remember anything of either's performance? Fck NO. But I was there. Just sayin' . .....Enjoy what's in front of you here and now. “Life is like music for its own sake.
