I used to play an open mic at a place called Gino's Italian Grill in south Austin, early 2000's...I hadn't heard of Rusty Wier and his history but I was in for a first time watching Rusty play with nothing more than his guitar and his one of a kind musician:) Never seen one guy put out that much music that was felt by everyone in the room:) I witnessed a true master. RIP Rusty Wier

Must've been on a Tuesday night, right across the street from Walgreen's.....that's where I met Rusty too. World is not the same without him in it.

Wish I could have seen Todd Snider perform this the night KK Rider got knocked out on stage by his microphone when the girl flew off the swing in the bar!

My grandpa was there that night. He used to tell me about the girl falling off the swing. I always thought he was telling a big fish story until I heard Todd snider retell the story the exact same way

One of my favorite musicians and friends. RIP Rusty. Make the choir dance at the gates of heaven.

Possibly the jamminist Texas country tune of all-time!

I had a chance to see and meet him 46 years ago. I now have all albums I could find 16 so far. A man like Rusty was a one of a kind. I miss not being able to see him again. His music lives here with me.Thanks Rusty.

Another great Musican friend of Jerry Jeff Walker Both of you RIP

Underrated by who? Certainly not by me.

How is this performing not more famous. Great performer.

Rusty always put on a hell of a show. This clip is great!!

The MAN! Miss ya Rusty! (from New Jersey) . . . makes me smile!

Had the pleasure of hanging out with Rusty a couple of times. What a nice guy... and a great showman!!

luv ya w/all my heart,Rusty!WE're all here for you during this rough time.You'll always be my favorite AUSTIN outlaw.

Never got the recognition they deserved,however, He had an amazing career and brought endless joy to Our Austin trips.

A genuine showman, great songwriter, and happy to have known him and his music.

Dude commanded the stage... what a showman!! Great stuff

True frann brothers... Rusty was such a sweet man... friends with everyone... especially this fellow from West Texas. He became such a good friend that he was at my wedding in '72. Met him at the Checkered Flag in Austin.

Oh how I will miss that smile and that talent. I miss you already. Deb in Dallas

Amazing performance! We're listening to this in Salt Lake right now!

Rusty, sing on in heaven!!!!!

Happy Birthday 🎉❤Rusty

Rusty was one of a kind and I sure miss him, I was proud to call to call him a friend. Love seeing Frosty back there on drums too. Frosty was also Lee Michaels drummer and a very nice guy.

Loved playing at his Italian restaurant's open mic night in South Austin. It was a friendly place to play, very artist oriented, even burning a CD of the performance for each act to take home. He liked to get up at the end of the night to play a few tunes for us too.

We loved him all the way up here in New Jersey!

RIP Rusty, thanks for all the wonderful memories. Your big smile will not be soon forgotten!

Saw him many times at the Dillo and elsewhere around Austin in the 70's. Nice man, great performer and band. RIP.

Yeah Rusty was a real showman...All his life. He was a good one. He said he wrote that song about feelings he got coming into Austin (at about Oak Hill or a little west of there) on his way back from California

had to get my fix of Rusty great guy .I worked with Rusty at the railhead in Dallas long ago in the 1980's .Good show man always big ole Texas Smile was always great fun good songs and stories.His buddies would come in also.Alex Harvey .Jerry Jeff Walker ,Funny Man Kenny Davis ect great times .Rip Rusty

Great Video. Knew Rusty all through school. Few people know his first record was with a group called the Centennials. Great entertainer & Friend, booked him when he was with the Wigs and Lavender Hill Express

RIP Rusty, may the angels lead you safely home.

Saw him at the Pizza Place off Ben White, at Poor David's Pub in Dallas, and lots of others. Fantastic entertainer and funny as Hell.

Still makes me wanna dance.

We miss you Rusty.

Also so happy to have known him and his music. Bruce and Donna

That's THE VOICE that makes Stapleton Now! (Love that Jumbo Guild!!!).

Did a poster for a show he did in Lubbock maybe 73? I was so embarassed I misspelled it Wier. But he laughed and bought me a beer at Main Street Saloon. And BTW Mary, we used to get 4 finger good mex or $10.

The real deal ! RIP Rusty

Man.....I can hear Rusty and Chris Robinson from Black Crows doing this one together

Lee micheals old drummer, we used to do this song,early 80s, great rocker

Saw him at Mother Blues. 74

That was such a tight place.Great food.

Bev... Marty and "White Sport Coat"...Rusty was secret legend.. Goddamn fun times. WORTH every brain cell.Shit, i miss Madge.

I was named Rusty after him.

Sad he is gone. but, we got his music those that followed, onward through the fog from Oat Willies, Taco Flats, Armadillo World Headquarters and other places from way back.

❤❤👌

Not many frontmen can do what he could at a show.

R.I.P.

Gino's still open?Such a sweet place.READY FOR Feb 16th?SAXON!!!!

Great song! Could someone perhaps post "Walking Through New Orleans", "Black Molly Blues", and "Burned". thanks
