      & commercialism...
      Saw him, in concert, in the, early, 90's, what a privilege.
      Travelled, to Sydney, for that one, paid, for the ticket, makes it, evenmore special.
      A ticket, to ride, isn't always, what it's, cracked up to be.

      Down here in Louisiana when we aren't fighting floods, hurricanes, gators and such, we love to dance. Needless to say John Hiatt & Little Feat are big in my neck of the Bayou. Now the Bayou is full of expensive homes, docks, boats & fine lookin' ladies, but I swear we can dance on water when John Hiatt is on.

He played for 2 1/2 hours. There was a lot of great energy that night. Sonny played slide and the band rocked the house. Good memories.

    I came to John Hiatt very late around mid of the 90th. Was in a pub in Kopenhagen, Denmark and during the break the band played songs that i liked very much. I remembered the voice from a movie (True Lies), so i looked it up on the Video...John Hiatt.Since that time i just love his music and Slow Turning is my favourite!Thanks for such great music!

    John Hyatt is worldfamous in the Netherlands. I love this guy and I'm glad he did not end up in The House Without Any Windows. Thanks for everything hope to see you ever again, preferably in the Paradiso, Amsterdam.

    Great video John. I wouldn't have ever looked for it but I read that you re-released the album. Thank you for 40 years of great music.
