Real Fine Love

[SPPDreams]

Thanks from Steven Paul Perry, the guy who is playing guitar behind John. I don't have a copy of this show. I do remember my amp making some noise right before we started and Letterman saying

"that must be the new guy"

[dasq]

[kawkawakid]

Then out of nowhere, and from nothing, You came into my life, I'd seen an angel or two before, But I'd never asked one to be my wife.

[EmilyYanek]

Can someone tell me what year this was?

[BAXMAN13]

[TheSchweineferkel]

the John Hiatt fully rocks!!!

[vamom83]

in the start he looks like he just snoort a line of coke :)

[Joejoesan]

"This one's for... mrs Hiatt". Or indeed for any woman of whom you can say us men don't deserve. I've always loved this song. If there's one Hiatt song I'd love to sing, it's this one. I'ts direct and honest. This one's right from the heart. Yeah!

[TelecasterMaster1]

I'm not sure if I love this song or John Hiatt's eyeballs more...

[mrwizardism]

My wife loves this.

[Aljoshaaa]

great song dude, thnx for posting it :)

[heyjdogg517]

John Rocks!

[TheBassplayah]

The best speed he ever played this tune live.....Rockin' ! My band definitely rocks this tune*

[Dylanscam1]

What a song? 

[mishshellybelly]

LOVE this song!

[MrKirkenstein]

hyatt's guitar player who starts the song named Steven Paul Perry now battles cancers of all manner as well as HIV - send thoughts ;-)

[VirtuallyForReal]

Praise the dickeyboyz Lord!! Godverdomme toch rock 'n' rol goddammit .-)

[PBDCooper]

After 20 years still one of my favourite songs! I bought the "Stolen Moments"-LP on a visit to NYC in 1990. Always astonishing to see what great musicians appeare(d) on Late Night shows in the US - no comparision to TV shows in Germany ...

[avaryss]

Great song!

[chrishartley716]

pardon my language..but...what a great fucking song!!

[bathsheba56]

The real deal. Way real!! One of my favorite songs.

[whirlized]

Tight.

[DEXTER941]

John Hiatt rocks, great song, great performance, fair play to Letterman for bringing him on the show, wise move.

[jsb779]

Same here.... strange.

[LBjim]

Man I cry when I hear this song..It reminds of the time I was married and had my daughter. I use to play this song a lot for them..great memories...

[kd8ux]

I think is the best version recorded of this song.

[TheBassplayah]

Definitely one of the best "takes" of any band playing on Letterman.....Even Dave is more animate than he usually is towards bands.

Excellent.

[LBjim]

Becouse John Hiatt is a fellow Indiana boy like Letterman. They are both from Indianapolis...

[TheBassplayah]

Hes even written tunes for Iggy pop! My band cranks this tune and people love it. Awesome !

[CamelClass]

Wow, what a fantastic version of a fabulous song. I too would like to know the name of the lead guitarist with the PRS, I just love how uses a chord fretting to play lead, especially the outro is world class.

[TheCaprice94]

@CamelClass Thats Steven Paul Perry From Concord Massachusetts. A personal friend and survivor!

[CamelClass]

@TheCaprice94 thanks, must check him out!

[TheCaprice94]

Respond to this video...Steven Paul Perry played in Luna, Berlin, and John Butcher in Many other Boston Bands

My wife and I went to a Hiatt concert at a fairly small Austin venue many years ago, standing space only with no chairs. We arrived early and grabbed a spot where we could lean on the stage about 8 feet from where Hiatt would be performing. As he sang the line "I've seen an angel or two before, but I never asked on to be my wife" he stared straight at us. It was a pretty cool stolen moment.

[LordofDublin4]

It's his voice, his soul, his spirit ...

The man is special.

He and a handful (Jackson Browne, Bryan Adams,

Henley, Lovett, Jimmy Dale Gilmore) are in that non commercial, soulful place together) And all with unique voices.

Are we not lucky?

[JayJoJonny]

the two Indiana boys rockin to Paul Schaffer on keys!

[ravenkiller1]

There's something very special about our man John.

Long may he live and create!

[joesenter]

This guy is a master songwriter. And what about the NBC Letterman Band. When he was on NBC, I always watched him. This Band could back anybody

[wincent1976]

John Hiatt is king!

Great song and performance. who is the guy on the PRS? Great player! Michael Landau did the solo on the album i think.

[THEKINKS08]

STOLEN MOMENTS, such a great album..real fine songwriter and singer,one of the best american musician in the history of rock'n roll. i dream that one day i will have the chance to see him playin live here in italy. hiatt, seger, petty, mellencamp, nobody came here to play live,and this is very sad.

[slothiegachoo]

Classic!

taxiboysdrummer

[runningoutofangels]

Man his band sounds killer on this too!! That guy with the PRS is just smoking and the strat mixes well and that bass...I miss this stuff. Do you know who he's using here in the band? And I'm guessing this is late 80s/early 90s. He still writes one hell of a song

[backbeat64]

The band is Paul Schaffer (keys), Anton Figg (drums), Will Lee (bass) and Sid McGinnis guitar) (i.e. The Late Night Band). You're right they kicked major booty. The guitar player playing the PRS is from Nashville I think.

[TheCaprice94]

@backbeat64 Steven PaulPerry Concord Mass on the PRS

[TheCaprice94]

Respond to this video...  Steven Paul Perry on the PRS from Concord Mass.

[jderic]

This is a top notch vocal by John the cat can sing and you don't get any better writing then Ive met an angel or two before but never asked one to be my wife.

[Camdenyardbird]

"I went lookin' for a fire, just to burn it all, down." I can relate.

[noakesington]

"I'm gonna pull my pony up, hitch my wagon to your star."

THE great American songwriter.
