I was at this show and while watching this clip I was imagining a Dave Alvin/Richard Thompson dual electric tour. It would be a great show, but so far beyond critical mass that a large number of paramedics would be required.
I asked my daughter for some 'new' music and she recommended Dave Alvin. I'm sure glad she did. He is fantastic and the group is tight. Great musicians, great song. Your video has wonderful sound and also looks good. Sometimes the sound quality isn't so good, but I still enjoy. Your quality is five star! So is Dave! Thanks for posting.
I saw him play in Tucson with the Guilty Women last fall, and loved the show. The first half was acoustic music, full of compassion and conviction, a totally different side of Dave, but then out came the electric guitar. He apologized to those in the front row, said this was the other side of folk music, and then proceeded to thrash and wail. Fantastic riffing, rich lyrical content, delivered with conviction and an intensity rarely seen these days. An unforgettable show from a master songwriter.
Another Amazing tune from Dave Alvin - & this one shows his awesome electric guitar playing - great lyrics Dave!, I always think your best songs are vignettes that could be films, or literature - very "film-noir" too!! - one of the very best 'Real' American Songwriters -
Absolutely riveting....amazing song, not to mention a master class in dynamics and stage presence. Can't believe I only was familiar with some of his Blasters work and not anything else he's done. What passion and true talent.
this guy is in"bloody"sane .. I;m 60yrs old and only just heard of David Alvin... tour Australia man .. would love to see you play live..........

This is magnificent! What a band! A great, great, song.
There is another live version on the net where they are a little bit more "out of control"....that is worth seeing as well.
