@methesponge absolutely! this is betten than charlie pride version.. u know i usually play this song with pride's version but when i found this version from texas tornados i now play this song most of the time.. really great!!
unfortunately I never heard the Tornados live on stage... Doug and Freddy passed away too soon. Thanks for uploading this great stuff here... hope it will be remembered in decades and centuries... we should never forget this great music
They did a golfing video that aired on CMT for awhile. Been trying to find it because it was hilarious. Freddie Fender tees off and it heads for another group of golfers and he yells, "QUATRO"! (Four). Lmao.
sorry people, this just pisses me off. Here is a stage full of ledgends and they are playing to a bar. OK I get it. Been there done that. But I wasn' t them. Come on. Each one on that stage is a ledgend. But together they are history.
@lcanton why can' t you read what was written. I was in the business. I wasn' t them. In other words that famous. No disrespect to them. Yes been there done that.hundreds of bars, towns and nights. But some people like yourself know how to do nothing but insult.
First time I heard TT I thought, this guy sounds a lot like Sir Douglas Mendocino. Guess I figured out why. As a true Northeast Yankee I credit Flaco J for for makin' San Antonio Tex Mex so appealing.
There's a radio comedian who said the German cordeen fucked up TM sound. I say he could not be more wrong.
@alpha18412 Couldn't be more wrong, I agree. Germans and other mittelEuropans (Willie Nelson got his start on a Czech radio station) added the accordion to Tex-Mex and Cajun music.
Texas Tornados, simple marvellous. If you like accordion, surfing in the Youtube I found an interesting vídeo where brazilian accordianist make a accordion contest. If want to see look for MARCELO E VONINHO in the google vídeos or youtube. Their accordion has a very different and interesting rithm. Also interesting: ENCONTRO DE SANFONEIRO ( canto da ema) TONINHO FERREGUTTI (music from the northweast region of Brazil). Other interesting: CARLITO BADUI E TAQUIN FÃ GERALDO
It looks like Doug has borrowed Bill Kirchen's Telecaster! Bill said it was pristine back in about 1969 when he got it! He says he keeps it in a special glass case "Away from God-fearing guitars"- crazy guy!
"Doug Sahm & Friends" did this in 1974 or so.Its all Doug but Bob Dylan,Fathead Newman,Dr.John,Augie Meyer,etc also.Its my favorite version of "Is anybody going to San antone" Lots of pedal steel guitar.
Easy to play?? U couldn't play in that band if u sold ur soul 50 times u dumb motherfucker. Not a chance. Odds are u have never written a song worth a shit and never will, never put out cd's, records, touring or nothing. Do not respond to me, u have no right to talk to me. Easy has got nothing to do with, feel is everything and it only looks easy to people who have no fucking clue. This is the worst part of Youtube, full of fuckheads like u.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
um bitch im in a realy god band aculy and ur the muder funking bitch ass hole.. u kind off dumbass people get no life and hey i was criticizing not making fun of u so shut the fuck up... oh and iv recorded a song and that song only plays 2 chords the whole time so fuck off lol wat do u do wit ur life
Hey jackass! Don't take down the Texas Tornados . . . that's three chords, may I add, and there are musicians that made hit songs off one. Try that next time after you get your head out of your ass and get a dictionary.
I got a life sonny boy, you are the intruder here, if you don't like The Texas Tornados, you don't have to listen to them, you don't have to watch them. You can spend more of your time learning how to spell.
to dongabrielplease what do you mean tonto, this is not sinaloa pero puro tejano, i do not know what you were smoking but please stop and give credit where credit is due, ok tonto.
Well that is oke, you don't have to like country music, even if you live in texas. I am wondering why you are listening though and take the trouble to post a comment like that?
charley pride rotterdam concert was a great version of song much better than 10 year latter at the grand old oprey i think this texas tornados is the best of all little know band just found by chance
He was the coolest man of the 90's too. I was sitting at the table behind him at the Broken Spoke one night when he was talking sweet to a table of three girls. When I scooted my chair back two inches I fell off the edge of a little bitty wheelchair ramp. Good thing I didn't break my damn neck. It really wasn't that bad because I was drunk. Doug, Austin is sure missing you but your spirit is entwined forever and your boys are making you proud.
This song is so nice. I became a fan by clicking on 'Who Were You Thinking Of' by mistake (a nice one at that) and instantly fell in love with The Texas Tornados. Now I'm hooked. I know Freddy Fender isn't with us anymore, but is anyone else in the band still doing shows? Thanks :D
Augie Myers-Organ, Speedy Sparks-Bass, Ernie Durawa - Drums and Doug's boys Shaun and Shannon still play regularly in bands somewhere. Speedy plays with the Nortons and the James Hand Band, as well as others, and you can Google the rest. Coming to a city near you, pretty damn soon. I hope, if not come to Austin. We love y'all, seriously. You'll see.
Ernie Durawa, the drummer, has formed a band called the MONSTAS...jst saw them yesterday at Guerros...they freaking rock...no doubt...so the spirit is still alive
I hit this video by mistake looking for a Sir Douglas Quintet song, but it was such a catchy tune that I gave it a listen and I love it. I never heard of the Tornados, but I'm looking forward to hearing more of them. Merry Christmas. Peace.
Hope you noticed many of the same members of Sir Douglas Quintet. Freddy Fender also went on to a strong career on his own from this band. Merry Christmas to you. They also did the song for the movie Tin Cup.
a few months back I worked a gig where the tornadoes were playing.. Augie Meyers has gotten old, needed help to get on the stage. Doug Sahm's son is playing instead of Doug.
Ahhh yes San Antone, I`ve been there! The River walk atmosphere is fabulous! Then the Alamo, gave me goose bumps!I`m waving right now to San Antone! I LOVE Texas!
I had the version as it came out on LP around 1974, maybe my all time favourite song.("Doug Sahm and Band").It played lots slower, great production, recording, pedal steel guitar that jumped off the record and bit you in the ass.This doesn't get close.Miss you Doug and Freddy!
