Daniel Johnston & Rhythm Rats @ SXSW97 (2 of 2)

Here's Daniel Johnston having the time of his life in 1997, performing his first live show in four years. He's a little shaky from his medications, but don't let that fool you -- the "air guitar" and snappy patter to the audience speak for themselves. Dan and the RRats only had time to put together 4 songs for this semi-secret show, and this clip contains the third and final songs of the night. "THERE IS NO SATAN ANYMORE!"

Most of the Dan vid I have is on Youtube including"Live & Let Die" from AMN (but not the Kool-Ade medley from the same program), Tim Hamblin's genius video for "Funeral Home", my video for the unreleased "Grievances/Greensleeves" from 1982, and a quick cameo of him introing my band Buster & the Crabs' "Purgatory Girl. I also hosted a full hour-long special on Daniel for Austin's ME-TV, but I've never been given a copy, seen the show,or even gotten a guarantee it was ever aired!!! - 1b2s

And which song is this last one?? I don´t remember of hearing it before.

@richardthere It's called Favorite Darling Girl, and it's available on the Rejected/Unknown CD, which was originally issued in 1999. - 1b2s
