I was at this show , dancing in the isles , what a night , what music , what an amazing atmosphere-- never to be forgotten . What a terrific , bouncy song , Everyone was rocking -- the whole place was rocking , I' ll never forget it . Where has all the good music gone ? SuperKevind.
I was this concert with my wife right at the start of a time I started making a lot of money with a new job. Remains one of the happiest nights of my life. These guys rocked.....
A touch of the Big O' in his voice, which cant be a bad thing, this is REAL music, played LIVE by REAL musician's and just LOOK how much everyone is enjoying it, So up yours Simon Cowell,!
Saw Raul last night in MK and he was superb as usual. On stage for over 2 hours. What a voice and when he gave the young lad his guitar to play with him on stage was brilliant. I bet he is still talking about now.
Brooksider, no I'm not Japanese but I lived in Tokyo for 10 years and loved it. Had to move back to the UK a few years ago (I'm a Brit but have spent most of my life abroad, mainly Asia and USA). With the gloomy news and weather here I'd probably feel suicidal if I stay here much longer! Japan was great. Wonderul food, polite people and lovely ladies too. And when they get drunk they don't get obnoxious.
The joint was jumpin'! I enjoyed the London crowd reaction, there, and the love shown to The Mavericks. What superb musicians they are with that dynamite horn section, the explosive drummer, the incendiary guitarists, and the rocket-fueled Raul Malo! (I write this after dicing jalapenos, onions, garlic, cilantro, and limes for my pico de gallo--while dancing to this at the same time.)
When ever I feel a bit down, I play this and it never ceases to lift me up. I also sing it at my local Karaoke bar, and people always get up and dance. I just love it
What a command of the audience ! Wow and a double wow!! Great voice, good horns , solid drums but the best , absolute best is the driving BASS. Its the same one that McCartney uses, Hohner I think. The superb sound mix with the stunning bass is amazing, so simple but so compelling and exciting. Well done to all. Envious of not having been there and dancing the night away.
I spent some time in the USA and I know. We always here this song in the UK. But then again you have artists that are bigger there, like Peter Frampton. I had never even heard of him until I was there.
Heard this song many years ago in Germany. I heard it again this morning on a Swiss radio station. Kept a few lyrics in my head and Googled it and came up with this post. I wish I would have known this song 22 years ago, I would have played it with my band, The Roll time Lovers!! IWe would have gotten the Germans dancing all over the place. What a cool song.
Ma quante rotelle hanno in più, questi complessi rispetto ai nostri ? Che meraviglioso sound,e che armonia di accordi !!!! Chapeau !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Antonio c.pastore
The entire "stiff upper lip" audience at the Royal Albert hall,up off their collective arses and dancing the night away....Sheer Magic....Brilliant performance from Raoul and the Mavericks... I am watching during the dark times( trump and covid-19..not sure which is worse) in 2020 and wondering when we will be able to attend concert venues again.Good luck and good health to all. from Santa Cruz California August 2020
Indeed, David! As a drummer myself, I have always been a big fan of Paul Deakin. He is just as solid as can be. Nothing fancy, just lays down a steady, driving tempo to lead the rest of the band. He seems to be always having a great time too!
What a joy to see some American Tex-Mex country and western singers and musicians showing reserved, staid Brits how to let their hair down without alcohol and forget their gloomy climate, depressing national news, high prices and bland food. Brilliant feel-good dance song from the 90s that is guaranteed to chase away your blues and make you forget any woman. Get the CD, play it at full volume and if you have one ounce of rythym in your body I guarantee you can't keep still or feel blue.
I saw The Maverics at The Summer Pops in Liverpool England a few years ago, OMG This man is AMAZING,,,,,he had us in the palm of his hand, the band wer fab, but lets face it, its HIM we all wanted to see ! He came out to sing a couple of songs on his own,just him and the guitar,,,,,,,,,I fell in love,,,,don't tell my husband !!
That dmm..dmm..dmm..dmm you love so much is courtesy of Robert Reynolds on his Hofner "Beatle" bass. I just LOVE it that he plays a Hofner!! I asked him about his choice of basses one time at a show and he admitted it - he's a Beatles fan.
I love his new song San Antonio Baby. I heard for the first time this morning on our local independent community radio station. It's sad that you can't hear great music like this on mainstream corporate owned radio.
Saw them a few nights ago, they did this one of course, and every other fave of mine in the nearly 3 hours they played. Has to be one of the top 3 concerts I've ever seen!
Im just smiling my face off and had a sudden need to dance the toosh push....I miss the Mavericks....I'll have to see if they're coming to Vancouver B.C. some day soon.
the more i watch this video the more it makes me want to be on that stage driving the band forward with that drum kit. once the drums are introduced it really makes the tempo and beat of the song fill the Royal Albert Hall.
I agree, Boruss. The guy looks like a serial killer, and yet he is having a great time dancing in the aisle, singing along, and even wearing a Mavs T-Shirt. LOL How cool is that! Guess it shows you can't always judge a book by it's cover, huh? My favorite song of all time!
