Doug Sahm - Live From Austin Texas

[pkappel006]

love this version......what year was this??? anyone knows?

[drohegda]

I don't know if was hulabaloo or shindig. Doug doing Mendocino it was in black and white tv and he had on a big white ten gallon hat and a pinto design vest with no shirt underneath long hair .It always stuck in my mind.Love that song.

[march1836]

The audience is DEAD! To their discredit!

[BLibertyValance]

She's a Body Mover!

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

THANK GOD 4 THE "VOX CONTINENTAL" BECAUSE WITHOUT IT THIS SONG WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.

[MrRazorblade999]

Doug Sahm was the defintion of soul.

[eightstring]

I remember finding the album that Doug did with Bob Dylan. I found 10 copies in a local music store. I purchased 3 copies and I had the manager put on the turntable one of my copies. He sold the other 7 copies within 10 minutes.  Is anyone going to San Antoine, Cocaine blues. The Entire album is magic. There's something about the charm of Doug that remains even today. RC Thanks so much for this video

[alogito]

Yeah... I remember very well this song in "my younger days" and like everyone else, I thought they were from the British Invasion at the time. Them cool, ain't it?

NcLg... did u get to hear this one?

[starr522]

All I can say with deep respect for Shawn, at least you respected what your Father did. He was a great entertainer and he built a great sound with Freddy and Falco and Augie. Unlike Hank the 3rd. Yes I have a slight problem with the 3rd. But that s another story. Shawn, thanks for keepin it real. You; ll go on to do your own one day. Best to you.

[surferlaments]

well, at least from the side. bad weed i guess.

[surferlaments]

keyboard guy sure looked like george harrison. post sgt pepper days.

[bobke114]

I watched Doug many nights at Antones "on the drag" Most likely more than I remember. RIP Doug

[Charlie200971]

Ababoubaboubabou ...

[chupas2526]

Sahm died of a heart attack in his sleep in a motel room in Taos, New Mexico on November 18, 1999.

A posthumous album, The Return of Wayne Douglas, was released in 2000. Sahm's son, Shawn Sahm, continues in his father's footsteps as the leader of his band, Shawn Sahm & The Tex Mex Experience. (Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez) reunited with Shawn Sahm on the 2010 release, Esta Bueno.

[JamKar1]

Doug was a great musician, a cooler than cool guy -- and one reason Texas is the music capital of the world.

Miss ya, Doug. RIP

[slimturnpike]

i wanna hat like that

[teriem1]

Used to see Doug out on Bee Caves Rd. in Austin...can't remember the name of the place but you had to know where it was in order to find it. Was awesome..my young son playing pool with his young son while we all grooved to Doug's awesome sound!

[woodsheddin]

This is as cool as possible. I feel high just watching it!

[LompeJan1]

Douggy Style. Just perfect!

[anderswestgardh]

Apart from the dancin' chicks, what's with the audience? Is he playing at some kind of pensioners conference?

[strandwolf]

A Presence truly Formidable....

[tanphudongnai]

I miss you Doug.

[troyb1968]

can see were , stevie ray vaughn got his roots from 

[goatbashing]

Doug Sahm's guitar resembles a Gibson ES-350 or 355. Good dancing music! 1965?

[drohegda]

@goatbashing thank you very much . Drohegda

[drohegda]

anybody know the type of gituar Doug is using. thank you. drohegda

[jhilboldt]

Auggie and his Vox Continental. Love it!

[jhilboldt]

Auggie and his Vox Continental. Love it!

[MrAprilsmay]

Hard to feel sorry for one's self while listening to this stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LizMandeville]

God, I love this man. One of the first records I ever bought was Sir Douglas Quintet, an LP called "You Never Get Too Big & You Sure Don't Get Too Heavey That You Don't Have To Start Payin' Some Dues Sometime." For real, that was the name. Still great, as is Juke Box Music, which I've worn out & re-purchased twice. God Bless who ever posted this.

[pleiva1]

I love Doug Sahm. More than ten years gone now. Bummer.

[pleiva1]

I love Doug Sahm. Too bad he's gone.

[icavazos]

PURE TEJAS CREAM...!!!!

[LompeJan1]

Lekker deuntje

[angrylambie1]

yes - love it!

[Portous]

Sahm was THE coolest cat to ever walk the planet!

[topsy420]

Sahm is alive in his music to this day.

[bbbcswr]

This has one of the greatest final salutes to the crowd ever. "...and we'd like to say, go home and looooove someone, we'll see you back again real soon." God damn I love that

[cherokeetrace]

Whoa man, Great tune and those chicks looked like they stepped out of an R. Crumb comic.

[Frownland81]

@cherokeetrace

Omg, you're absolutely right, they do, especially the one with frizzy hair wearing a color garland. That's too funny; not to mention an amusing detail to a great clip of an awesome southern friend boogie jam.

[fr44ed]

Love them redneck women. They're REAL women.

[alpha18412]

Attempting to combine two of my favorite things; Is Augie Meyers Oddball from "Kelly's Heroes"?

[drtphd]

@alpha18412 That was Donald Sutherland, Kiefer's dad, in one of my fave movies. I go all the way back to the Rome Inn at 35th and Guadalupe in Austin for my first of many Doug Sahm concerts. This bring back some really good memories. RIP, Doug.

[lordkoos]

One of the best shows I ever went to was a Doug Sahm show.

[3lullabies]

good time music!! makes me wanna dance,love that hippie feelin'!! XOXOXOXOs

[3lullabies]

it wouldnt be rocknroll if there wasnt some pretty birds dancing!!

[katie]

this is SOOO awesome!

[GoodNoteDJ]

Love it! Sometimes keepin' things real simple is the best way to produce rock'n'roll. Like the way Augie Meyers just keeps playing that same organ riff over and over, even when Doug Sahm calls on him for a solo! Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Love ya, Doug, and still miss ya.

[bobo420TX]

Doug Sahm and dancing Austin hippie chicks, it don't get any better than that !!

[kwickenb]

Looks more like redneck women

[webstercat]

@bobo420TX Yeah and doing the bump. Sound quality is great.

[armgarcia9876]

@bobo420TX amen brother, i scrolled down to see this comment and had me cracking up, just sounds funny when your buzzed..... great music

[Waltzenfree]

@bobo420TX I saw this man's Sir Douglas Quintet Honky Blues Band + 2 at San Francisco’s Avalon Ballroom (Long Live the Family Dog). He came on with a full on horn section, dressed in a white and sequenced suit, white cowboy hat, low hung Stratocaster and Tore the Place Down. One of my all time best musical appreciation moments. Talk about a Fat Tex-Mex Greasy Jazzy Austin Sound, doesn’t get much better and the dancing Frisoc hippie chicks were quite the sight too see. She’s a Body Mover

[kunluv]

ugahahhg Austin, Texas is a bunch of white immigrants! WOOOOOO! EVERGREEN STATE!

[2stroke1971]

GREAT!!! Man, I was not born when this song came out...but my dad worked in the music biz for a while...he has a DEMO cut of mendocino....We wore the friggin grooves off that plate when I was a teenager!

[speedskiff2]

Boy do I miss Austin City Limits

[mensportdnl]

SUPER!SUPER!SUPER! Danke fürs posten!

[55silverrider]

-Guy in the audience looks like John Lennon 1985.

Anyway this is a great band w/ so many great figures, thanks for the clip.

[shakedownstreet48]

Guy on keyboard looks like George Harrison back in 71.

[jeangary]

The Sir Douglas Quintet, like some other bands at the time, took English sounding names as a way to take advantage of the popularity of the "English Invasion" of the '60s'. My favorite song of theirs is Mendocino, with one of the best Vox Continental Organ riffs of the genre.

[ladrinski9]

Thanks! I've been wondering what kind of organ that is!

[cavykahn]

what a awesome song!!! they don't make them like this anymore. what a beat!!!!!!!

And what a great voice, and I love the organ part, it sounds so cool. I grew up listening to this.

[oregongirl210]

Damn, I love his voice!

[GeorgieWise]

I sure dug Doug, no doubt about it.

[BrokenSpokeFilms]

a true honkytonk treasure!

great channel by the way.

[bigtoozly]

you guys gotta find San Antonio Rock: The Harlem Recordings 1957-1961 on norton

oh man....

[Apathynosebleed]

He was real nice, and I'm glad I got to work with him. Augie, too. Sounds great!!

[canyondogh]

How old are you boy . . ?

[TellYerMa]

I'm in that audience, pal. Go listen to the Jonas Brothers.

[PAULLONDEN]

Y'all come back,y'ear ♂♂

[Osomerset1968]

Doug Sahm at his finest! Yeah Baby!

[Cldfsn0200]

Think this is the best song on You tube by Doug Sahm. Though you should check out the old 1960's video when he is on Black and White TV thats on Youtube. He looks real funny with Beatles hair and the props are funny too.

[PAULLONDEN]

True.....

This is a great rendittion,but I miss

those MARRACAS here.

Wich gave this song it's shuffle groove.

♀♀

[zangfred]

Hot Dog! It do not get better than that!

[Signal30Bassman]

How can the rest of the audience sit still?

[rainday6]

Anyone out there go to the concert at Les Halles, Paris, 1981? I moved from Austin to Europe in '80 and was living in Paris with a fellow Tejano who'd been there for several years. He asked me what I missed most from Texas and after the usual reply of Shiner Bock, Trudi's after midnight (when the chef leaves and the vatos start to cook real food), etc. Doug Sahm came up. I sighed, looked up, and there was a poster for a Dough Sahm concert the next night! One of the best gigs he ever played, too!

[Baci302]

Darn it, youtube ... Seaside I was replying to your comments.

[canajian]

Yes sir that right there is some great music.

hey hey, what I say....

*****

[TheBitterWeed]

How fucking good wa that ????

[seaside882000]

I knew Harry Hess the lead guitar player. He used to give me lessons and was a

great player and interesting cat. Sadly he passed away a few years ago also. Great guy! and great band...

RIP Harry

[rainday6]

Harry's dead? I don't see that listed anywhere. Drag.

[seaside882000]

Yes, sadly he is.

He's the steel guitar player in this band but I knew him more of a GUITAR player. And he was REALLY good and a great guy. And had a lot of interesting stories too....

[Baci302]

Oh yeah. Harry's stories were great. He ruined it for me with all my music/guitar heroes. Did he ever tell you the one with Chubby Checker and Johnny Maestro? Or the fist fight he almost got into with Dicky Betts over Harry's amp?

[Baci302]

There was a obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer. He passed on May 12, 2003.

[Baci302]

Hey Seaside. I took lessons from Harry too! Then he graciously asked me if I would like to play in a band with. We both loved the same kinds of music ... blues, country (bakersfield style), beatles, stones, chuck, etc.

We were working on writing and recording some songs together for "the band" when he passed. Harry became like an older brother to me and I was shocked when Julie called me to tell me he died.

"Anyhow," I love ya Harry. And, man, you look great up on stage. 

LD

[cenwt]

AUGIE MYERS  ROXXXX!!

[dricke53]

Doug Sahm. What a talent. She's about a mover was one of my favorites in the 60's. Auggie was great, the whole fucking band was great. Whatever version of the band. He was cool.

[kwickenb]

Douggie and Auggie were the bomb! They made Sir Douglas and Texas Tornados what it was. Without them it would not be what it was.

[saustin151]

Flaco, Augie and the boys..along w/ Shawn Sahm and Ernie Durawa will be @ Antones on. Nov. 6 for Doug Sahm day!!!!!!!

[grapenut2457]

Oh man ....this is so sweet. Pass the guacamole ....

[HippieJimi]

I heard Sir Doug is doing 5 shows a night up in Heaven....SRO :-)

[naturalears]

Doug was my friend and band mate. I played many gigs with him. He said 'She's About A Mover' was sometimes f 'She's a Body Mover"; actually he said he didn't care what it meant, but it sounded like both, which was cool. His Dougness trivia.

[darthvato33]

Great to hear! By any chance could you send me a message with the complete lyrics for "Nuevo Laredo?"

[TheBitterWeed]

Wow... a true, true player... God bless you both.

[topsy420]

R.I.P. You musical genius

[GeorgieWise]

Goddamn YouTube, that comment was meant for cobaltjones.

[hmreyes02]

The drummer is my father-in-law. It's really cool to find this video...

[franklmac]

She's about a mover comes from San Antonio Spanish slang that goes, "ella me mueve." Translated to English it says, "She moves me." Therefore, "She's About a Mover." Got it? Get it? You got it!

[cobaltjones]

Interesting phenomenon, the exalting of mediocrity by a town full of assuming hipsters. They did the same with Daniel Johnston, sort of a collective muscle flexing of social construct. "We say this is good, so it is." No, it most certainly is NOT.

[caribootrail]

ok there smart guy...I get what your digging at. What are you, some kind of a creep? Maybe that is what this performance appears to be to you, but to impose that opinion as fact is outrageous. I bet you could use some real friends.

[cobaltjones]

Austin isn't wild, and it isn't free. It's a bunch of sheep assuming hipness. Street gypsies are a tired bore, as are punkers, rockers, alternative rockers, folkies, rappers, b.o.r.e. If I were to play this, I would die of boredom. It goes nowhere, over and over again. Austin is harmless creatively--philistines in rebel costumes, tattoos and piercings are conformist and tired. Chord structure from the 16th century. zzzzzz...........

[davivid]

your ass must be as frozen as your jive.

[alaskaozzy]

go away, oh man of little thoughts

[broadmilo]

right back at ya

[cobaltjones]

Tell me where I can go with timeless taste in a disposable culture, oh ye of social hypnosis.

[davivid]

mediocre? Doug Sahm? wow. you must have a teeny tiny soul.

[cobaltjones]

Or maybe you're clothing something in your own social experience, and I'm actually weighing the quality of it as music.

[GeorgieWise]

Totally irrelevant, let me see some video of music you have recorded that you think is meaningful. Doug even loved the haters, like you. Onward, thru the fog!

[cobaltjones]

My dog crapping as soon as I get around to filming it for you.

[Wisegeorge]

Thank You. At least it will add an aire of credibility to your angry and misinformed diatribe. Peace man, it won't kill you. I wish there were more Dougs. But, there never will be.

[cobaltjones]

I don't know what you're talking about, but to understand my point see the Beatles' She's a Woman. It's written in the same style but it has musical invention and it sustains interest the whole time.

[broadmilo]

I'm a Beatles fan but they ain't no Texans!!!

[slightlyperturbedmax]

Someone tell me what "She's About a Mover" means, please.

[kjetin99]

Doug Sahm is a fantastic artist and musician! Thanks for a great clip!

[larssonmick]

I'm probably out milking the cows or something. If you have something interesting to say, about baseball or so, say it.

RIP Dougie, all love

[abcantiques]

Wow...my mom turned me on to these guys. Just so cool! I have been learning this song ever since I heard it. It is so much fun. Doug & Augie forever.  What incredible musicians.

Keep sending the good videos.

[dmdsmc73]

i hate those fat ugly people dancing in front ruining everyone's view. doug and augie are great

[dricke53]

Fat ugly? They are honeys who loved him and the band,. Thuey weren't in anyone's way. Chill, get some psych help you asshole.

Signed,

60's guy from Minnesota and Vietnam Vet. who loved the group. Fuck you

[lerel7]

That ain't his son on drums. This looks to be from like early 80's just from how Doug looks. He's still skinny. He blew up like a hog the last couple/few years before he died.

[jwoodrff]

I saw him about a year before he died. he blew in one night at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar about 10:00, cowboy hat, leather duster, sunglasses and all. He still looked the same as he did in the mid 70's. He was a skinny little guy with an electric personality.

[AUS10TEX]

R.I.P.

[irwin999]

this guy rules.

[dickdeluxe]

I love the beginning where he tells his son on drums not to rush! Classic front man dilemma stuff! Fun but Doug looks pretty tired.

[jbillyt]

What a startling metamorphosis!!!!!!!!!!!
