One heck of a live show!!! November 9, 2008
Bruce Sanders (San Antonio TX)
Sometime in late 1974 or early 1975 a friend recommended that my buddies and we drive to Austin to catch this band, Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen. We said "Who???" My friend said, "Just go, you won't regret it."
So we all went to the Armadillo World Headquarters. It was a night I'll never forget. I never enjoyed a concert as much before or since then.
The next day, I promptly went out and bought "Live from Deep...." It had been recorded from a previous concert at the 'Dillo. I played the album until the grooves wore out, then bought a cassette. I played it to death, then bought the CD, when it became available. I now have it on my Ipod. Let's hear it for technology!!!
This was probably the tightest live act to hit a stage.
I continue to relive that fantastic concert over 30 years later.
GET YOURSELF A COPY!!!!

Easily one of the finest live performance albums ever recorded. If you only have one Cody CD, make it this one.
Great Gig April 4, 2007
Anthony S. Prowse (Melbourne, Australia)
The Commander and his Airmen were my favourite rockin' country band of the 70's and this album shows them at their very best. Since there is no definitive Commander "Best Of" album out there, (the "Too Much Fun" album is probably the best but still less than satisfactory), Cody fans should just go out and get all their early albums (i.e. those albums released prior to 1976). Start with "Lost in the Ozone", "Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Trucker's Favourites", this Armadillo live album (and its companion piece "Sleazy Roadhouse Stories" - the rest of the Armadillo concert) and then go from there. The Airmen were not just a bunch of stoned, drunk musos but instrumentalists (and songwriters) of the highest quality. Many are still making a living from music over 30 years later. They may seem rough and ready on the albums but that was the effect they sought. Listen closely and you will hear superb musicianship, arranging, singing and songwriting (including inspired selection of covers).
CCAHLPA burned hot and bright for a short time and this live album is the pinnacle of their recorded work.
Commander Cody at His Best June 25, 2006
William Henning (Ft, Collins Co)
These are all of the Commader Cody songs that have made him a legend. Highly recomended for any one into Rock-a-billy or Texas Rock.
Should have been a double live... December 8, 2005

...And it almost was a double live...the commander wanted it that way, record company said no...what do record companies know? Not much, sadly, becuase there WAS a WHOLE LOT more music from this concert at the world-famous Armadillo World Headquarters...the rest of this concert can be found on one of three albums...Sleazy Roadside Stories, Bar Room Classics, or Texas Roadhouse Favorites...the third mentioned is hard to find, apperantly a UK only release. Sleazy Roadside Stories has two tracks missing from the other two, but any of those are good if you want the rest of the concert. This is a great album, it has, arguably, the BEST version of "Riot In Cell Block #9" ever recorded...was that July 27 1973 or 1963? Hmmmm Anyway, crank this one up, crack open a lone star, and drift away to 525 and 1/2 Barton Springs Road in Austin, TX...in 1973, was there a better place to see the greatest progressive country band in history?
