True Story..... My brother and I went to see DH & HHL's and in between songs my brother hollered out a big "Whooooooooo" only to get a remark from Dan stating that "We reserve this time in our show for all the "ASSHOLES in the crowd to speak up!!!!! Fucking Awesome....Then they played back to back "Canned Music" and "News from up the Street"......It was magical!!...He controlled that stage from the minute he started the show till he walked off stage.....I Loved Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks as well as each individual band member.......Sid Page , Jaime Leopold John Girton Including Maryann Price and Naomi Eisenberg ...I was proud to be an early fan......And still am to this day!!! RIP Dan and Jamie!!
I saw one of dan's last concerts. I saw him backstage and he appeared physically impaired, probably very ill, but when he got onstage he never missed a lick and was great and hilarious as usual without even trying to be. What great American original , I wish I could have spent some time with him as one of his original fans
It was an amazing contrast to hear Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks performing in the late '60s, early '70s amid the background of the acid age sound. I personally savored the shows when I saw them because they were great musicians playing catchy stuff, tongue in cheek, hilarious lyrics, skillful arrangements and, of course, the original compositions. The rapport between Dan and the Lickettes was always a gas too. I'll never forget their originality, musicianship and just plain FUN being around when they played. Unique in an era of unique character. Truly unforgettable.
So good, love these guys, I 💖💕😺 Dedicate this song to my old friend Deborah Harriet Holt, she loves this song, she & I saw them, Dan & the Hot Licks at the Old Roller Rink in North Vancouver, a million years ago, so good, Jug Band Music!!
i've been a huge Dan Hicks fan for over 30 years.... these songs seep into my blood...they are part of me.. nobody else can take the place of DH and his HL. LOVE YOU!!!
Dan's voice unlike so many of His contemporaries never deteriorated, the vocal here could easily be from the early 70's, His wit, charm , playfulness with language and ear for a good tune that took Us into the past while keeping Us in the present will be sadly missed. " A Charmer of highest degree".
Pretty dang close to as excellent a voice as He ever had. I only got to see him live once... Hot Summers' day from Hell...over 105° in the gymnasium (folding metal chairs on the floor for seating) no air conditioning..Valley Jr. College 1976... He and the band didn't hit one off note. Consummate performer.
This is Jorma being the generous host, and humble artist. Might be why I would drive 8 hours to watch him play for 1 hour. Dan Hicks left this place so much better for having been here. Via Con Dios.
I've heard Dan do this song for 50 years, first with the Charlatans at bars in North Beach and at the Matrix (where I was a part-time doorman in '66 and '67). nice licks, guys!
***** did you start/end that section with -- or something? probably got interpreted as markup. --test-- __test__ //test// **test** (those are - _ / and * bracketed respectively)
Jorma and Dan Hicks. What's not to like - a match made in heaven! I saw both of these gents when I lived in California back in the 80s, although never together. This vid combines two of my all time favs. Thanks to FPR!
How long have these guys been friends, or at least know each other? From the mid-60's? Earlier? So great to see them together. Great psychedelic warriors, playing on! RIP, Dan.
If this doesn't tear your heart out, you're missing a cog in your works. After a long life I realize this feeling only comes now when I hide from God. Then I scare myself and forget that peace and calm comes from that relationship. That relationship comes free...called Grace. (Not preacing, just responding to the message.) RIP Dan.
Great take on arguably Dan's greatest song, certainly his most accessible as a cover. Dan continues to put on excellent live shows. The latest Lickettes do themselves proud and I loved Maryann and Naomi Ruth. Catch him if you can.
Years ago, on the Cote d'Azur, we were covering songs of Zappa, the Beatles "Walrus", and such kind of stuff. One day we did "Payday Blues"and we got the greatest audience response ever.
Best wishes to those Hot Licks back up singers. What brilliant vocal arrangements. Doesn't get any better. Hope to hear more from those gals some day, in some way, soon.
Jorma knows his flamenco bolero vibe well, Airline Quicksilver Dead Beck Door and Hicks all used it from the fabulous 60's and we LOVE it. White Rabbit was in this vein.
This is nice and I’m gonna put a but in there...Without Sid Page, his violin solo and just that amazing groove that the original song has it really is a shallow version. Just my opine. I have to tell a story because it is interesting how things work out. About 10 years ago I was listening to I scare myself for the umpteenth time and have always thought that the violin solo was the greatest I had ever heard. I dug around and found Sid Page‘s contact information and decided to call him. I knew I wouldn’t reach him directly but it was worth a try. I was wrong and he picked up the phone. I explained to him that I was simply an admirer of Dan Hicks‘s music and his amazing violin playing which I considered the most wonderful violin piece I had ever heard of. He was very gracious and thankful and said that it was his best violin effort ever and that he had been hoping to someday equal or surpass it, but that day had not happened yet. He seemed genuinely happy that someone would actually acknowledge something that he felt so strongly about.
The first Hot Lick on Epic was Sherry Snow. Ironically she was offer Signe Anderson's spot before Grace. She turned it down and the rest is history. Love seeing two of the San Fran old guard teaming up for this jam tune.
Why is there a freeze frame edited in at the 0:50 mark, dissolving out again around 0:58? Is Fur Peace Ranch trying to hide Dan's chords in the bridge?
This was a very intimate concert...there is no place on earth like the Fur Peace Ranch...

Bye Dan. It would't have been he same world without yoooouuuuuuuuu
RIP Dan Hicks - you were one of the greats.

This is still my all time favorite piece of music from my all time favorite musician. I love reading the comments. How I miss him.

LOVE YOU!!!
Remembering Dan as the man
who let the music out of the can.
Good one, Karla... I wonder how many caught the connection?
I did
I still dream about Naomi Ruth Eisenberg....
She was a FB friend back when I FB'ed.
I guess he's gone...
Like Jerry Jeff now...
Peace from Maine.

@@vajrapani6474 Yes they were. Much unappreciated by the public who were enthralled with stadium rock bands.
Amen!
I am quite amazed at how great he sounds. Stylist extraordinare

I'm curious as to why part of my comment is lined out.

geepeerces
thanks! I need to remember that.
I'm envious.
One of my favorite Dan Hicks numbers. Jorma is one of the masters of minor modes.
Dan's voice is really hangin in.
RIP to the coolest daddy-o
Too good for words.
RIP Mr. Hicks.
Two old Frisco titans!
Now I'm gonna have to miss you, 'cuz you done gone away.
Jorma and Dan Hicks. What's not to like - a match made in heaven! I saw both of these gents when I lived in California back in the 80s, although never together. This vid combines two of my all time favs. Thanks to FPR!
Two of the greats from the glory days of San Francisco music.
Another Legend gone. Rip Dan
They have provided so many musical high points for me I salute them.
RIP Dan, You were one of the good guys
Dan is a major artist.
This is great stuff!! Love Jorma, love Dan Hicks
Finnalehh.. he scared noone...
...in my life..miss you Dan Hicks.. carry on..... Hicks style!!!
How long have these guys been friends, or at least know each other? From the mid-60's? Earlier? So great to see them together. Great psychedelic warriors, playing on!

R.I.P. dan
So very cool and smooth. Dan & Jorma
R.I.P. We have lost a great talent.
Best wishes to those Hot Licks back up singers. What brilliant vocal arrangements. Doesn't get any better. Hope to hear more from those gals some day, in some way, soon.
Egyptian Theater, Boise! Thanks for the great show, Dan . . . . . . RIP -
Jorma knows his flamenco bolero vibe well, Airline Quicksilver Dead Beck Door and Hicks all used it from the fabulous 60's and we LOVE it. White Rabbit was in this vein.
Airline
Classic!
wow... how sad to hear he has moved on from Earth what a talent
Jorma sure brings another whole element to it
+robin2012ism He does. Such an outstanding song, but just 2 chords all the way through. Jorma takes it out there...
So..sohh.sohhh. and im.so much calmer....
saw Dan in SF and JK at Winterland - both great!!
Love it. Love it love it... ;^)))

That's so incredibly cool. Reach out, you never know what (or who) you'll find.
RIP, Dan.
RIP Dan.
RIP DAN
Oh Shitters! I am grateful, thank you.
The first Hot Lick on Epic was Sherry Snow. Ironically she was offer Signe Anderson's spot before Grace. She turned it down and the rest is history. Love seeing two of the San Fran old guard teaming up for this jam tune.
i kinda like this better than the original recording....
Hey! Where's Naomi Ruth?? Nice, guys. Thanks from Brad from Stinson Beach....
rip Dan
This is my favorite version... sad to admit the scratchy stuff is hard for me... My ears still work!!! Simplicity is a good thing sometimes too!
Yeah, but Sid Page's solo set this song on fire withe passion. Hot Licks and Lickettes were sorely underappreciated.
And so it goes...
Perfect duo...genius...Dan should of been absorbed into Hot Tuna or Jorma/Casady become new Licks!
What a match made in hell. Love it.
Why is there a freeze frame edited in at the 0:50 mark, dissolving out again around 0:58? Is Fur Peace Ranch trying to hide Dan's chords in the bridge?
Good-bye cool.
It a'nt where the lizard LEAPS.... it is where He/She/it lands.
Dan always played a good rhythm guitar, but needs backing on the lead. Good pairing.
I love that you can recognize Jorma on guitar from just one note.
RIP Dan
