I have seen Meat perform Dixie twice on TV shows

In August 1987 he was on an Elvis Tribute Show (10 years after the death of Elvis) and one of the songs he performed was the Mickey Newbury composition, a medley of “Dixie”, “All My Trials” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. This was of course made famous by Elvis as “An American Trilogy”. Meat was backed by a choir when performing this song

The same year he appeared on the “Ruby Wax” show “Don’t Miss Wax”. He sang about a minute of Dixie alone before the audience came in with an uptempo finale

By the way in twenty five years Meat has done a lot of things on TV - you can't be expected to know of them all - it does not make you a bad fan
