Austin has a great music history from it's '60's origins with KAZZ FM and Sonogram Records spinning The Thirteenth Floor Elevators and The Sweetarts to The Vulcan Gas Co., Janis Joplin and Johnny Winter. The 70's saw that sweet mingling of cowboy and hippy called "Outlaw" at The Armadillo and Oat Willies to the early punk scene at Raul's, Duke's Royal Coach Inn, Club Foot, Studio 29. It's been a great ride and made Austin the live music capital of the world. Enjoy a memory or two from our ticket archives. A paper testament to Austin's music history.

| This tour coincided with the release of Bad Company's third album Run with the Pack. Not the work their first two albums were - 1. Bad Company (Bad Company: 1973) - "Can't Get Enough" , "Movin' On" and "Ready For Love" and 2. Straight Shooter (Bad Company: 1974) - "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Good Lovin' Gone Bad" and "Shooting Star" - it nonetheless sold well from the success of their prior albums but signaled the end of their major successes.
