These guys put out a handful of really good albums in the mid to late 80's and on into the 90's. The Tailgators morphed from the early 80's LeRoi Brothers, playing a mix of swampy, bluesy roots rock that was incredibly interesting and fun. I'm fairly certain this was the original line-up of Don Leady, Keith Ferguson (Fabulous Thunderbirds) and Gary "Mud Cat" Smith. If my chronology is correct, Ferguson left the band shortly after this show to retire from touring and was replaced by JJ Barrera. More recently, in 2013, Leady released Hillbilly Boogie Sufin' Blues which is a great listen showcasing his guitar playing, and much easier to track down than some of the older Tailgator's releases. It would be great to see the back catalog released on CD a la Rhino.
