Well, I've come across an incredibly rare video that isn't even available digitally while cleaning out my grandparents' basement, and it turned out to be one of my favorite artists, Hank Williams Jr.! This tape is a true historical lens of good ole Honky-Tonkin' Americana as this is a big tribute to the Navy soldiers aboard the former U.S.S. Constellation. This rowdy classic is one big concert coated in all-American love and with occasional good humorous commentary from Hank Jr. himself between songs! Note to Parents: While this aired with a TV-G rating in the past and is considered family-friendly, this concert film does contain some mildly inappropriate language, including some minor swearing, along with suggestive lyrics and references to alcohol. Also guest starring Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Earl Thomas Conley, and Gus Hardin with additional performances to rock you away!

COPYRIGHT STATUS: The video itself is by a company that is no longer in business, therefore, the video itself has lapsed into public domain. However, because all of the songs are by (mostly) living artists, I must acknowledge their rightful ownership of all the songs performed on this cassette, as well as the active copyright status of their songs. This was uploaded with creative use and for the purpose of digital preservation.
Soundtrack: (C) 1984 Little Money Productions, and Hank Jr.
QUALITY NOTICE: Due to the fact that this is a 1989 rerelease of a 1986 VHS for an obscure 1984 TV Special and to the fact that this tape has likely not been played in over 30 years after sitting in a cardboard box inside an often-humid basement, there are unavoidable issues present in the video in the form of "snowy" noise. Thankfully, it does not severely impact the overall video quality, nor does it hardly affect the original stereo soundtrack, therefore keeping the original experience intact, and most importantly, maintaining an adequate enough presentation.
