Since Dallas passed, I have seen the band with Kurt Vile at the Winnipeg Folk Fest, and then a few weeks ago at a club here in Winnipeg. It is very sad to not have Dallas with us, but I will support the Sadies anywhere and any time in the future. They still kick ass.
going to miss this band forever. Or at least until I die. I was fortunate to see these boys play many many times, but one of my favourite memories is one of the last times I saw them play. They played a free show at the Alberta Legislature one perfect afternoon and I couldn't believe my good luck. I rode my bicycle down and found a nice spot at the back under some bushes and got to hear my favourite band play lazing on my back under a clear blue sky. Thanks for all the music Dallas, we all will miss you very much.
They could play anything! I once saw them on a day when one of the Ramones died, and they played a magnificent medley of Ramones songs as a tribute. A truly great live band.
I had the privilege of seeing the Sadies here in Los Angeles, around 5 years ago and always hoped for their return. Amazing band, and yes Dallas is irreplaceable. Accidently found out about this band through Pandora while listening to some cool surf music and rockabilly and immediately started ordering majority of their albums on cd and vinyl. I rarely do that with a band. Proud to be a fan of them.
Beautiful man...my favorite band...rip dallas..truly an honour to have known you.. " i wish i could be the way i once was, but gods got other plans for me..." Dallas Good - the trial
Good by name, good in real life. I first saw them around 20 years or so ago at the Lakeside Lounge on Avenue B in New York, as backing band for Andre Williams. I got talking to them briefly, and they were seriously nice guys. A year or more later, I found myself booked to DJ their show at the 100 Club in London (England), and they remembered me. At a later date here I was the DJ again and Dallas gave me a shout out, a thank you, on the mic in the middle of the show. Great band, always good to see them, and a heck of a nice bunch of guys too. All of them.
Love The Sadies! Discovered them from 'Favorite Colors from 2003-2004 ? And Stories often Told" from a couple of years before. I loved it and related to the music. instantly, and yes, the fantastic guitar work and arrangements drew me in, right away ! Nice Memorial Mazzy, for a very important band that most don't know about..
I've been a huge fan of these guys, and almost everything in the orbit of Rick White since I was a teenager. I feel blessed to have seen them so many times. It was incredible to see them in a small club. One of the best live bands ever. Glad we have the records, and the memories. I've lost so many people in the past few years personally and extended, it's been rough. Thanks for the tribute. Hold on hold on
There is an amazing album of classic country music covers by John Doe and the Sadies called “Country Club” that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in that genre. A vinyl copy has eluded me to date (price-wise and/or geographically), but I stream it at work all the time! Thanks for the post Mazzy. Sad news for sure.
John Doe and Exene Cervenka were the opening band for Garbage and Blondie back in 2018. I ran into John Doe in an elevator at the venue and told him how amazing the Country Club album is. He seemed genuinely surprised to have someone tell him that. He called the Sadies some the best musicians he'd ever had the pleasure to work with. I believe him.
Thank you for posting this. I've been a huge fan of The Sadies since 2007 when I discovered them through a friend. I've had the pleasure and honour of seeing them more times than I can count. Being Canadian and livng just east of Toronto, my opportunies to catch them live happened frequently and I made the most of every opportunity. The news of Dallas' passing shook me to my core,,, it's like losing family.
Great videos and definitely one of the great live bands. When they got together to play each other's guitar my mind was blown. "I'll be listening to "Story's Often Told" on repeat. RIP
I've seen hundreds of live bands, including many of the"greats", the Sadies, although less feted, were better than them all. Rest in peace Dallas, you were one of the best.
The Sadies were/are a second-generation band. The Good Brothers were an Ontario folk-rock institution for many years. I saw them all together in a small auditorium as part of the Stewart Park Festival in Perth. I was mightily impressed with their twangabilly sound.
Great video Mazzy. I had the privilege of knowing Dallas in the early 90s. He worked at Songbird Music on Queen West in Toronto. He played in a great band The Satanatras. Great band. Great name. I remember he would always play that riff to Caught In A Dream from Love It To Death at the Satanatras shows. Much to the displeasure of the other guitar player Jeff. Just a funny thing I remember. Anyway he sold me a 78 Les Paul Custom(long gone now). My first “good” guitar. I think I paid under 900 Canadian at the time of you can even imagine. The world is a little bit worse off than it was a day or 2 ago. Dallas is going UP. Of that you can be sure.
Thanks for this 😊 I saw gwar and my satanatras shirt got covered in so many fluids. I don’t remember ever telling Dallas that but I think he would have loved that.
Thankyou for this tribute piece! A tremendous and unique pressence are Dallas and Travis! Twin towers of western surf rockabilly power! Saw them numerous times in small clubs over the years. Such a loss. Thoughts and condolences to everyone 🙏😢
Certainly two of the best gigs I've seen were the two times I saw The Sadies play. They played like a force of nature. Dallas on guitar reminded me at times of Clarence White. He approached playing in the same way, like a guitar in bluegrass. Sad day.
It is awfully sad news Hedley. I loved watching the Sadies. Best gigs ive ever seen. I was hoping to take my son to watch them this year. I feel so much for the band and their families.
Both Clarence and later Dallas played a B-Bender loaded Telecaster, where they could bend the bb string up a full step pulling on the strap. And both were very gifted!
Im ashamed to say I have never heard of the Sadies. Thanks Mazzy, for introducing them to me, and I am now a fan. Great tribute to them, and a great video as usual.
He was quite young. I've seen them a couple times, including opening for Blue Rodeo, they often supported bigger acts. But they were at their best headlining some small low ceiling club. I think I saw them the day Dennis Hopper died and they played a Byrds song, I was trying to think which one, now I think it was "Wasn't born to follow" but their signature bit and another Seattle band also did it was fretting each other's guitar, I think covers are almost what they were known for live, "Freeborn Man" being another highpoint of that same set.
Saw the Sadies many time here in Toronto , even saw them with the Good Family band at the Horseshoe Tavern and also accompanying Neko Case . Great musicians .
Sad sad news. Thank for for this video, Mazzy. The concert footage is wonderful. I was lucky to see The Sadies perform a few times in Winnipeg. Loved their collaborations with Gord Donnie from The Tragically Hip. Will always miss both Dallas and Gordie!
Mazzy..so cool you are doing this video..The Sadie’s great Toronto band..Dallas and Travis come from great genes..The Good Brothers were one of Canada’s biggest country rock/ bluegrass bands in the late sixties..seventies and I think still going strong..R.I.P Dallas..so sad..glen
Check out In Concert: Volume One. It’s like the Last Waltz with friends and collaborators from throughout their career joining the band. The vinyl is long OOP and goes for big money now.
Lucky to have seen them perform live many times the most memorable was Halloween 🎃 2013 at the Great American Music Hall in SF when after the first set of their material they did Alice Coopers Love it to Death in its entirety. I don’t use this descriptive often but it truly was epic.
Such an amazing band... although certainly not the same without Dallas, without that Telecaster dueling with the Gretsch, and without that baritone vocal... but I hope the band carries on. Maybe they could convince John Doe / Neko Case / Kurt Vile to throw a tour together - sort of a celebration of what they have done. I'd also love another John Doe and the Sadies collaboration (although JD has his own solo stuff on the way already)

That hurt. The Sadies are legends. Huge loss to the music world.

So he died of a sudden illness after a recently discovered coronary illness. Sadly this is becoming more and more common. R.I.P. Dallas.
Thank you so much for your kind words. What a loss.

Great band to see live. Very sad to hear.
Heartbroken for the boys, Travis and the family. Not only a unique musician but so much more 😞♥️
Nice video.
Through music, Dallas will live forever. Meanwhile, The Sadies will continue. And we will support them until the end.
Beautiful man...my favorite band...rip dallas..truly an honour to have known you..

Thanks, Maz. Enjoy your videos from Winnipeg
Saw the Sadies many time here in Toronto , even saw them with the Good Family band at the Horseshoe Tavern and also accompanying Neko Case . Great musicians .
Yeah forgot about them backing Neko 🎸
Thanks for making this. Truly the greatest live band ever.
First learned about the Sadies when I saw them backing up Neko Case. The day has become more darker now.
Sad sad news. Thank for for this video, Mazzy. The concert footage is wonderful. I was lucky to see The Sadies perform a few times in Winnipeg. Loved their collaborations with Gord Donnie from The Tragically Hip. Will always miss both Dallas and Gordie!

Maz, thanks for turning me onto these guys. Freaking awesome sound; so sad to hear about this news….extremely talented band.
Thank you for posting this today.
Fantastic! The cat on the Gretsch when you started shooting from stage left sounded fabulous. Love it.
Yeah that is brother Travis Good. Dallas Good is on the red Telecaster.
@@mazzysmusic thanks for the turn-on Mazzy. Listening to them right now.

Wonderful tribute to Dallas.
What songs where the clips from?
Odd to hear of someone for the first time upon their death. Good stuff on live recording. I'll check them out.
How’s he doing?

Agree in everything. It seems we will see one final Sadies album w the full line up sometime this year. 🎶
Talk about late to the party.
