"from my collection of off-the-air recordings on VHS cassettes - This is Emmylou's feature as a guest on the special television program, "Tom Rush at Symphony Hall - A New Year", which aired on January 7, 1983. Among the musicians backing her (In addition to Rush and Bromberg) were Irwin Fisch - piano, Paul Guzzone - bass, Marshall Rosenberg - percussion, Joshua Schneider - flute and Frank Vilardi -drums."

From my collection of recordings that I made off the air on VHS cassettes, this was Emmylou's first appearance as a headliner on an ACL program. It was aired as the first set of the first program of Season 7. (The second set featured Rodney Crowell.) My notes made at the time indicate that I recorded this in July 1983, which must have been from a rerun of the original program. An edited version of Emmylou's set was posted (along with water marks of CMT and Austin City Limits) on March of 2020 on another channel. Some of the chatter between songs, the ACL introduction and closing credits were excised; and, the play order was revised, perhaps to accommodate commercials on Country Music Television. This posting is unedited (except for the removal of Rodney Crowell's name from the "billboard"). Also, I believe the picture quality and color are better. I hope y'all enjoy it.

If I Needed You" was written by Townes Van Zandt and performed on his 1972 album The Late Great Townes Van Zandt. It was covered 9 years later by Emmylou Harris and Don Williams as a duet, and was released in September 1981 as the first single from Harris' album Cimarron. Emmylou had done this song many times in 1979-1980 when she performed it with Ricky Skaggs when he was in her Hot Band. The song reached #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and #1 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada. The song was written about Townes's business partner and producers wife Anne Mittendorf Eggers
