Dan Hicks and his Acoustic Warriors - 1990 - Shootin' Straight

[Nthrwrld]

This apparently is Dan's Acoustic Warriors group, not the Hot Licks. I hadn't seen them before, and I won't mind if I don't see them again. Dan's very first Hot Licks group was the best of all. He needs the whole act around him to make his show, not just a rhythm section behind his vocals.

@Nthrwrld Thanks for the info on the group name. I don't know about the Hot Licks, but I recall the AW played two songs on this show. This song I thought was fantastic, and I didn't like the other one at all...

I saw Dan at the Paramount Theater in Austin when he let Mary Ann Price talk him into a reunion of all the original band members for one night only and around twenty years ago. I was in row 8 center in a packed house for the best concert experience of my entire life and I've had many hundreds before and since.

Joe Pruessner on bass- he's the first cousin of rocker Joe Walsh and plays on one Joe's albums.

I saw this tour - Paul Milan on guitar. Very good band, possibly his best.

I didn't miss the singers. I forgot about 'em. That's sayin' a lot because I like the Licks. Hicks is no hick.That smooth croonin' irony. Steely Dan, meet Cheeky Dan.

Paul Mehling playing behind him too!!

[cane9man]

A perfect performance of a great song. I've seen him live twice, each was a brilliant show. Dan is the consummate live performer.

Thanks you. Dan is the best ever.

it would be better if it was faster; and if there was no background singers.

i'm going to get alot of hate from this comment....

assuming people watch the video.

@FlippyFloppinator Ten months and no comment, so it's about time, huh? No background singers? What? Dan Hicks without his Lickettes? That's part of his persona. But, hey, at least you're watching.
