Actually, following the thought of recording at Carnige Hall, Red Simpson also did a set at the gig, at least that's the official story. The Buckaroos backed him too.
But it makes you wonder if the Buck Owens Ranch Show tapes would come out nicely on a CD box set, or on several volumes of CD's.
Not to mention all the video that still exists from that period, which would be 1966-1969? before Buck wound up the show in favour of Hee Haw.

Jason - exactly, I'd love to make that purchase if any of that old video came available somehow..... I have business card here of the manager of Buck's Crystal Palace, I may just email an inquiry about that.
I've often desired the same of any old video of Hag and the Strangers in concert and/or TV appearances. I know there are a couple of more recent concert videos that have been out for some time..... but I'm more interested in video from that 1966-72 period when Norm, Roy, Bobby Wayne, were really cooking as the Strangers.
TNN did a "Life and Times" piece on Buck a year or two ago and was very good -- but the little snippets of scenes at the Blackboard and Lucky Spot really whetted my appetite for some full extended performance video.
I think we've swapped email about this before, dang, I wish there was a way to have some of this surface.... is likely some great old 8MM stuff out there in somebody's shoebox in a closet that they don't even know they have!

Neil there is circa 1969 footage of the Strangers with Roy Buchanan sitting in with them, it was on some doco a while back.
Also I have heard that some 1969-70 shows were taped, I'm sure there where some taped for the live LP in 1970. The Philadelphia gig?
I've never seen any 1960's footage of Buck or Merle in action, it's a little hard to come by here. Shoot we didn't even get Hee Haw and still don't.
Merle and The Strangers...In September 1968 they are part of Disneyworld’s ‘Country Music Jamboree’ with Wynn Stewart and Nashville stars Webb Pierce, Sheb Wooley, Flatt & Scruggs and Minnie Pearl. I imagine the good folks at Disney taped this?
Also it might be interesting to see if the ACM featured any live appearences by the Strangers during the late 1960's and early 1970's, there people all over the internet trying to flog off video tapes from the shows.
But I really don't know?...it would be nice to see them in action. Hromek, Bobby Wayne, Hamlett, Nichols, Merle and Biff on drums.
