Austin City Limits - 1975 Nickel Creek Ralph Stanley 28-9 was released on: USA: 28 December 2002
I guess the very first Austin city limits intro used from 1975 to 1977 and featured a sap green and gray highway sign which has "Austin CITY LIMITS" written on it, and it was used behind the gray sky from 1975 to 1977, The second one features the sign standing on the left side of the screen below the sun, and used in the opening and closing credits. From 1980 to 1982, The Austin City Limits sign is standing behind the highway road, and from 1982 to 1984 the sign is right next to the tree From 1984 to 1986, The cames moves from the lake, to the Austin city limits sign is behind the tree and bridge. The Bridge is, I believe the Pennybacker Bridge, aka Loop 360 Bridge. Here is a link: http://www.texasescapes.com/AustinTexas/Pennybacker-Bridge-Austin-Texas.htm I worked on the show between 80 and 85/86. From 1986 to 1987, the Austin City Limits sign, is standing behind a state capital From 1987 to 2004, The Austin city limits sunset appeared it was filmed in the show's opening and closing, the camera pans down to a tree behind a lake and the Austin city limits sign is still there. Then in the mid-90s, the opening titles featured the camera zooms in on the sign, and an old ford truck passes behind the sign and it zooms in again.
