That was the guitar he always uses. It was a Suzuki parlor guitar. Sounded great and always impeccably tuned. Why would he not want to use it?

Coast to Coast Fever was released as a CD around 10 years ago. Still sounds good!

I am the bassist on this cut, David came out of retirement, we did a few gigs, then he hung it up again. A few years later he released a new CD, then stopped performing. He's a great musician and a hell of a nice man.

Gotta love this, what a fantastic song! Great voice too, so much character and soul! David's music is indeed timeless and deserving of greater attention and I will always be a fan! Thanks for posting this, and p.s. that guitar is really beautiful

That guitar he was playing looks like he got it out of a cracker jack box - couldn't they organize a Martin dreadnought for the show, even a loan?

Effortless but at the same time so passionate. Stars never burn out even if they fade away.

....... David Wiffens' music is timeless .. its as strong today as when I listened to it over and over in the early 70s.... thx for the great post , and, Thank you David , where ever you are .

This is so beautiful. I wish David could have enjoyed performing and been more at peace with the magic he could produce. At least we have moments like this to enjoy. Thank you for posting.

I have the Coast to Coast Fever album and it's in perfect condition. :-)

[Doublees]

Great! He channels Msr. Lightfoot. Or is it the other way 'round?

Simply beautiful.

@doghousedonnie Brilliant... a fantastic song/performance by you guys...I had just uploaded a version of Skybound Station on youtube ...always played the song since I bought the vinyl album. I didn't realize there would be anything out there of DW ..so many years ago, then up pops this clip....thank-you so much....he's some singer/songwriter/performer.
