Is that Julee Cruise in the center of the Lickettes? Sure looks like her.

Good eye. Julee Cruise was also featured in this episode of Night Music. That's her.

Dolby's is a beautiful interpretation of a brilliant, emotionally intelligent song. We might thank both of them for giving us those gifts.

Just a thought.

To all of you who have never had the extreme pleasure of actually being in the presence of a Bay Area "Icon", nay. just a musical genius who has spanned almost 50 years sharing his talent, please don't let this one performance be the one upon which you base your judgment! Google Dan Hicks, let your fingers do the walkin' on different sites, then listen and let your ears be your jury!!

@anneshuck I think that studio violin solo on the studio album is divine. I saw him live as a duo at Paul's Mall in Boston around 75?76. with his bass player. I couldn't believe how much I didn't miss the band. Great original bass player, I like this live video but I won't compare the studio to say that one is better. I could compare it to another live performance with the same lineup. I don't mind the rearranging here.The song was too long for televised formats and any kind of variety show.

Yeah baby. I heard Dan in Mill Valley years ago. What a unique sound they have, huh? The track off of "Striking it Rich" was out of a studio. This is a live recording. Personally, I prefer the live performance. It seems more real to me. But that's just me...

That was a pleasant four and a half minute workout. Great sound.

Great song but a so-so performance by Dan who seems to be forgetting the words and arrangement from time to time. Sounds much better on his classic "Striking It Rich" album.

I like his name...

I saw Dan and the Licks playing in a small student theatre at Syracuse University in about 1972 and never forgot it. He had a unique style then and he still does. Just listen to his recent--"That's Just The Smoke They're Blowing"...Great stuff...

@rdkellykompany Yes! Such a beautiful city. I honestly thought I'd never get to see him. I moved to the tiny burg of Waterville, Maine a few years ago, but surprisingly, Colby College and the Opera House here get some real artists, musicians, plays, and films here. And lo! To my everlasting delight, they brought Dan Hicks here last year. It was an unforgettable treat! It's not so lonely in the State of Maine after all, despite what Blue Oyster Cult says.

I think that is Brian Godchaux on violin.
