Buck Owens And His Buckaroos
Adios, Farewell, Goodbye, Good Luck, So Long: On Stage 1964-1974
Release date: June 27, 2025
78 live performances on three CDs, 75 on CD for the frist time, 25 previously unissued in the US, and 20 more prevoiusly unissued anywhere.
There is no doubt Buck Owens and His Buckaroos were one of the biggest acts in the world from 1964–1974. Not only were they topping the music charts, they were filling concert halls worldwide. They were such a popular concert draw that many performances were recorded and released only in the corresponding foreign market. Unfortunately, much of that material never saw the light of day outside the country in which it was released. Until now.
Adios, Farwell, Goodbye, Good Luck, So Long: On Stage 1964–1974 is the first comprehensive look at this revolutionary time in music. Featuring 78 tracks on 3-CDs/Digital, the collection sports 75 tracks making their CD debut including the recently discovered The Exciting Sounds Of Buck Owens And His Buckaroos Live From Richmond, Virginia, 1964, plus tracks from the international releases Buck Owens’ Show In Japan, Live In New Zealand, and Buck Owens’ Show “Live” At The Sydney Opera House, as well as the US Top 10 albums The Buck Owens Show–Big In Vegas and Live At The Nugget.
What makes this chorological journey through Buck and his Buckaroos on stage even more essential is the addition of 20 performances available for the first time anywhere: sets from Macys 7th Avenue store from 1967, the 1973 Buck Owens Golf Tournament Dinner, and a 1973 Toys For Tots benefit at the Bakersfield Civic Auditorium.
With mastering and restoration from multiple Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves, the packaging contains a full-color, 56-page annotated book with an extensive essay from Grammy-nominated writer and set co-producer Scott B. Bomar. Adios, Farwell, Goodbye, Good Luck, So Long: On Stage 1964–1974 is the definitive look at a catalog and career that remains untouched, unrivaled, and unbelievably important to popular music and culture.
