No one knew Austin City Limits would be any of those things back on October 14, 1974 when KLRU (then KLRN) shot the pilot starring Willie Nelson, who was not yet the iconographic American music figure he is today.

Spanning from 1974 to last week, the Austin City Limits catalogue contains over 500 hours of performance and interview footage and represents a huge variety of musical styles and genres, hosting everyone from Bob Wills' Original Texas Playboys to B.B. King to the Foo Fighters.
