[MrEconline]

This is fantastic!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

[SOLE2SOUL]

I saw them perform this on The Tonight Show around this same time but I never saw this clip before. Thanks!

[1195richard]

Definitely the Hot Licks classic line up!

[mikeg888]

Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks were such a hot group but too often overlooked! His earliest LP's are classics. Many pop stars used him as a mentor. No group mixed styles with true validiity as they did!

Nobody does it like Dan Hicks, his Hot Licks and the delectable Lickettes

[sleakitweasel]

Deliberate kitsch from 1972!

Just think, music was plummeting down into ponderous poo poo. Dan had other ideas, however...

The guitarist in the white suit has some mondo post-modern moves too. lol

[terebriscoe]

As an old Doug Sahm drummer, I'd finally like

to somehow see Dan sing with Boz Scaggs.

Beautiful!

He kicks Jimmy Buffet's ass!!! At least Dan didn't commercialize himself! Rather be a hickhead than a parrothead!!

[jason75]

I remember this as a kid in the 70's

[procol0616]

Hey Sid!! Great solo!!! drf

[barbgerry]

Dan and the Hot Licks, as the original band, put on a real show for people. Dan is still one of the funniest people. He writes really fun music. I miss Maryann and Naomi. They were so kitschy. I always wanted to be a Lickette.

[gmcg923]

How many drugs were they on? And I mean that in the most affectionate way.

Dan sounds like he was influenced by the Black Jazz from WW-II era France. It is a style that I hope is never lost. It is just pure fun and thank God someone is smart enough to keep playing it. Good music is just good and timeless. Thanks Dan

I had the opportunity to see Dan with the Acoustic Warriors in Tampa in 1988. My oldest brother was a fan, so of course so was I. That was when I was 12 or 13. I remember seeing him on the Tonight Show promoting the album Where's The Money." He was great then as he is now.

[tacomadc]

So much talent in one band - just silly!

[tacomadc]

Just WOW! This is probably the best clip of ANY entertainer ever on network TV!

How knew Dan could dance!  He's about 6'4" but man can he move!

LOL!

[unclebobunclebob]

@tacomadc I love how fans of certain people deal in nothing but absolute superlatives.

[MRMILO57]

Hehe rather funny but sweet.

[baldlawnmower]

I never realized but he runs a tight ship. At 3:02 he shoots the girl on the right a scary look when she comes in early.

[girlgeorgeberk]

GREAT BAND

[oldsport500]

Just under one third of all my philosophy for life comes from Dan Hicks lyrics.

[angusmcfergusshuvee]

LOL oldsport. I hear that ;-)

[candiruacu]

Maybe it's just me,but-

Can y'all listen to Dan Hicks without smiling??

[lennycohenfan]

Absolutely wonderful! Dan Hicks at his best.

[60schld]

Great footage!! Do you have anything where they're performing " Waiting For the 1:03"? They are wonderful-thank you!

[GerardHaight]

This little band can always put a smile on your face and a tap in your foot. I needed that today.

[1Robinesse]

They are musically talented and whimsical -- so fun to watch. I'm tickled.

Where's Mary Anne Price today? She sang "I'm an Old Cowhand" better than anyone ever.

[dakotablueskies]

He is still great...didn't know that he danced in the day.....

[wiim2000]

Now that's a band!

[du2vye]

Great.

[Tinker2e]

Oh Popeye!

[adze13]

Classic Hicks, his concerts were theater, comedy, and great music all in one.
