Our trip behind the scenes of “Austin City Limits”

Check, check, one, two, three. Is this thing on? It’s City Editor Morgan on the mic, and I’m still giddy about going backstage at “Austin City Limits.”

You can, too, by booking the new ACL Live Tour Experience.

Here are a few of our favorite sights:

• Hall of Fame archives. Take a journey through time and see epic photography by Scott Newton, the show’s head photographer since the 1970s.
• Willie’s Place. See a backstage patio where the red headed stranger has smoked with a cardboard cut-out of himself. Psst — you might see a musician on this balcony while walking Guadalupe Street.
• The original Studio 6A stage. Hold guitars, stand on wood from the show’s original stage, and smile for a commemorative photo.
• The catering lounge. See the spot where talent + crew members chow down and fuel up before the show.
