Saw them Under The Bridge in London just beforr the pandemic. Small venue, ideal for watching Sonny Landreth play and John Hiatt to project his love for his music. Wonderful.
I fuckin love this, epic performance. Really is. One of my many favorite parts is where the drummer pulls the mic away from his cymbal while Hiatt is holding the note at the end like "Yeah I'm boutta smash this thing, better pull that back...." Lol
I got to see them both together ( John & Sonny) in Grand Junction Colorado the day , it was so Great! This summer I was lucky enough to see Sonny in Fruita Co and get his autograph! Two true legends!
no such thing as a bad john hiatt song, especially with landreth accompanying on slide. discovered through ry cooder. also bobby king and terry evans. shockingly biassed, sorry!
Sounds like John is singin with his little head on this one! Havin mas enjoyment with Sonny and the rest of the boys! Oh so nice to see and hear their gritty fun. Landreth rips
This is a definite trip in the wayback machine.. Taped in Europe late 80's or early 90's.. All these guys are STILL PLAYIN' and STILL ROCKIN' OUT in 2017... Look for them on the road in 2018! FOR REAL....
Must be after 1999, cause in that year 3sat started recording the "AVO Session", but before 2013. In this year the name changed to "Baloise Session". Found it! It was recorded in 2003!
What a great version, and one of my favorite bass players, Dave Ransom gets a solo. He plays with Sonny a lot. Sonny a true guitar genius picked a truly great bass player to play with.
@@tomthomas8472 I had the good fortune to see John and the Goners, perhaps 20 years ago (hard to believe it's been that long) what a privilege, what a show!!
I've got a bootleg somewhere on cd where John introduces Sonny Landreth on slide gritty and adds: I WOULD TRUST THIS MAN WITH MY LIFE! ...and he MEANS it. He REALLY MEANS it. This band kicks ass. YOU are so lucky to be here.
Heard an interview with Hiatt, this song was written on the side of the road in less than 1/2 hour. Elvis is in it, BB is in it and who knows who else?
