David Lindley - Ragbag - The Roxy, Wash., DC 1988

[dgbokf]

Upper class! The greatest Ive ever heard!

[20smallcigars]

Awesome playing by Mr Dave as always, but why the fuck are there assholes in the audience yakking all the way through it?

[Emalfiro]

@20smallcigars I just found my old VCR-recording from Berlin of the same song, and put it up. There's no hillbillies yakking in that one. :-D

Really enjoyed watching this video...Believe it or not, I was there! Saw Mr. Dave and El Rayo X at the Roxy, then drove to see them at Hammerjacks in Baltimore the very next night. Good Memories.

[PeterLisboa66]

David Lindley is one of the best musicians I´ve ever seen live. If you ever have the chance to see him live take it. El Rayo X David, cheers from Germany!!!

[jappadu100]

Wirklich ein grandioser Mann....

[Wuzi64]

Der Mann ist Wahnsinn, im Double mit Jackson Brown auch Top.

Andrew Winten trotzdem ne heisse Nummer in Slide

[RoknRolUSA]

I don't know how much he keeps up on his Banjo (former Champion way back) but I've only heard two songs on a tape, God Damn!!

[mcgretsch]

gibts diese hammer geile version von dem song auch auf cd? gibts von diesem konzert ne live-aufnahme? David is der absolute Hammer.

[FelixG9]

@mcgretsch es gibt ne cd die live in tokio oder so heist. da spielt er mit hani naser.

[Schotterranch]

Wahnsinns Lied. ich kenne es seit mehr als 20 jahren.

[ooff]

What instrument is he playing?

[JustPlainDB]

Looks like a Weissenborn Lap Steel to me. Of course, I could be wrong... those hollow neck guitars can have strange heritage

[thompsonlake]

one of the GREATEST players EVER!!!!!!

fuck american idol!

[derwillider]

I heard that song in 1981, when it was broardcasted by German TV.

"Rockpalast" introduced Mr. Lindley to Germany, I guess.

In August 1982 he did a great show, when he played at the "Loreley Rockpalast Nacht".

Many listeners and viewers were surprised about his way to play many kinds of guitars.

After the broadcasted show, which showed Rory Gallager as final act, he and the other musicians played again and were called "Rockpalast supersession".

For more informations please ask WDR TV.

The greatest Party Band!! I saw this version of El Rayo X twice (86'-89') and to this day they were the best and most fun shows I have ever been to!

To learn more about Frizz Fuller, who wrote this song, Google "Frizz Fuller" and click on "Bob 'Frizz' Fuller" in the top of the results.

Thanks. Nobody, nobody like Mr. Dave. "...I ain't gonna worry like a goddamn slave..." He is still as wonderful twenty years later.

[woofburger]

[hotfirecaster]

What a musician!!! The first part of the tune is named "Look so Good"... Love it!!!

[Kronok]

Thats some brilliant strumming from 4:18 to 4:40 and nice picking too, very skillful!
