Ripping! I like this better than the versions that open with the slide solo. Thanks for posting!

[bengreens]

THANK YOU for posting an incredible performance. Mr. Dave . . . damn!

[03CobraGoodnight]

DL: The Stevie Ray of Slide.

[JustPeachyification]

This version just as so much more energy than any other version.

[bigguy4570]

Its one of those songs you can't help but tap your feet to love it

[bushidobonce]

What tuning does the DL Man use? fantastic stuff

[voyces]

@bushidobonce open G is what i used when I did his version years ago. Seemed right to me.

[roccotool]

[oeddie99]

lindley, cooder and lowell george....three of my fave sliders. dl is a hell of musician for a quarter of a man.

[Zepster77]

@oeddie99 what do mean by that a quarter of a man?

[TarenceChance]

Aaah! The Master at his finest. I saw Lindley open for Jackson Browne in Portland, Oregon ... about 1989 (maybe) and he opened with this song. Sweet! Thanks for posting it.

[Knobiwurscht]

Geilllllllllllllllll

[Fetcha200]

John, we've struck gold!

Anyone know any other bands I can go explore?

[manuetalain83]

David is one of the most incredible musician in the world.

I saw him this year with Jackson Browne in Paris, what a fantastic moment!

[steeltunes]

RED HOT!!!!! :-)

[zapple100]

Smokin!

[shigeruf]

Awesome, Great Sliding Blues

[WinterBot7877]

Saw these guys in a club in Cologne in the 80s, must have been the same tour - I still have the LP, DL and El Rayo-X - that track is nearly worn through -

[dans42951]

Pure energy!

[freakbeatno1]

David Lindley- One of music's great unsung heroes. Or at least he is in England!

[moppelennart]

kan inte bli bättre

[bigguy4570]

What great steel work and what a great song thanks for posting.

[LeagueOfRock]

he da man.

[ronbo11]

How loud can a person type AWESOME about this guy's playing?! Hell - I might just buy myself a Mercury now...

[chuckhahn47]

this song makes me wanna borrow a car and drive it really fast into a block wall!Lindley really tears that lapsteel guitar up!!!! , doncha think??Ya like this one, Denis?Such a different/ 360* to "Dust ", but what an energetic vibe!

[reamann109]

Rock n Roll

[chunter5100]

Amazing...love that comet...anyone know what tuning this is and where you can get the tab for this? Thanks in advance!

[hofnersinla]

For you Ricky!

[ALTDOK]

Feels like I'm there..I use good headphones you see...;-/

[12betrue]

Rare to see Pierre Ras Babou on percussion. He has since just up and disappeared. Nobody can hit those paint cans quite the same.

[slippery396]

Totally Awesome !!!!!!!

Fast Cars and Rock 'n Roll ... it doesn't get any better than this !!

[59simonh]

10 bucks cover! to see a band of this quality...i'm blessed!

[kalb3f]

Whew, DL just ROCKS!

[12betrue]

This is the only video on You Tube that I've seen that features David Lindley / El Rayo X with Pierre Ras Babou on percussion. Ras Babou is on the original recorded version.

[trevmm]

lindley and ry cooder my two fave slide players check out my channel for more

[WinterBot7877]

Was this recorded in '82? I saw him in Cologne about that time, the place was packed out to the rafters, you couldn't breathe.

[derwillider]

It was recorded in late 81 or early 82.

This show was Davids ticket for the "Loreley Festival Night" in August 82.

MB was not played as well as here on August, 28th.

Don´t look back was very good and Rag a Bag was really fantastically played.

[rubboarder]

this thing just rocks.

[derwillider]

this version is much better than the "loreley-version", played 28th of August 82.

[derwillider]

mercury blues at its best

[derwillider]

Diese Version ist weitaus besser als die im August 82 auf der Loreley gespielte.

Später sollte sie noch mal während der Pause in einer Rockpalast Nacht gespielt werden, der Videoautomat versagte dabei mehrmals.

Alan Bangs geriet ob dieser Tatsachen gar ins Stolpern, als er einen neuen Versuch der korrekten Wiedergabe ansagen wollte.

M E ist dieses vielleicht die beste je gespielte Version. Die Polizei und die Crashsituation oder was auch immer am Schluss sind irgendwie vorstellbar.

[0belvedere]

i saw lindley perform this on "Solid Gold" once. anyone remember that show? the "solid gold dancers"? pretty incongruous sight to see lindley wailing away. i thought it was terrific.

[cartoonlike]

Pure genius. Lindley winds out that steel just like an old 1950s Mercury.

[zummo61]

year?? by the pants i would say 1988ish?

[goodboy306]

nah mercury blues,dig dat
