@@user-nh8dj2ie6e I guess. But in any case”best of” listings, he’s never in the top 20. And I would happily argue he should be. He makes it look effortless when playing. And as a guitar player, nothing he does is that.
Brian Setzer has to be one of the most underated guitarists of all time. The musical ability and showmanship of these 3 guys is a pleasure to watch. Rocking a town near you soon......
Interesting enough, if you listen carefully, you might discover that the Stray Cat Strut originally came out decades before the Stray Cats changed the lyrics. It was originally a children’s tune called “The Cat Came Back”.
I was a teenager when they broke onto the scene and thought their sound was so amazing, and all with three simple instruments... Love that rockabilly sound...
Rockabilly - created by the King at Sun Studio, Memphis, in 1954. Five years before Setzer was born. His is a mixture of punk and rockabilly, so not really rockabilly. Much too loud and distorted. Still, a great guitarist.
and it isn't recorded in mono single track, the sound is way more dense than actual 50s records. That is also why live concerts in the 50s were SO good. Real sound, not a tin can sound de-tuned for car stereos and a single 8 ohm dash mounted speaker.
@@SuperChuckRaney Yup, studio recordings were "compressed" for AM radio because of the bandwidth issue. Then FM came along and made a vast improvement of the frequency range of the broadcasted tune, but people needed good equipment to take advantage of the FM signal. In the old days of the first FM radio music, most cars couldn't take advantage of it, but homes did a lot better. Just IMHO.
He isn't underrated as he is widely considered - both by fellow musicians and rock 'n' roll fans alike - to be one of the great rock 'n' roll guitarists alive. He's also won THREE grammys.
I know, just 3 guys on a big otherwise empty stage, no 3 backup singers, no 6 dancers, no fancy staging to lift them into the air, no pyrotechnics, yet it looks like a great entertaining performance. It doesn't look like the crowd feels cheated.
Saw them 30 yrs ago as a young Billy..........moving on...baldness, grey hair and a few pounds around the waist they took me back to some bloody fond memories..........bring it back again Cats !
Holy mother of God.....forgot about these boys......NEVER AGAIN.....DAMN......im dancing on the ceiling folks......now thats raw talent......JESUS.....
Wow man this is Awesome! I remember these guys as a kid but now being 50 its so great they kept Old School alive with a 3 piece band and those instruments.
You cannot get closer to Rockabilly than the Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats. These guys single handedly kept Rockabilly alive and their live shows were always on point! And Brian Setzer is an amazing guitarist AND singer! Just so much talent!
"You cannot get closer to Rockabilly..." Bullshit! Listen to Elvis Sun recordings. That's 70 years ago and none beats it. Try and see the bigger picture not what is in front of your nose.
I love these live takes of the Stray Cats. To this day, Leon Drucker/Lee Rocker plays bass uncredited on loads of stuff, especially upright acoustic bass. His slapping compensates for the lack of a full drum kit, and the backbeat that He and Slim Jim Phantom generate in this vid is incredible. It allows Brian Setzer free range on the guitar. Playing a semi-acoustic guitar live at volume is a sound guy's nightmare, but Setzer is in total control of his instrument. Add that to the sheer energy of the song, Setzer's singing, and the showmanship of this trio, and it's what live music is all about. I know loads of people who wouldn't give the time of day for Rockabilly generally, but they love the Stray Cats, and that's all you need to know!
Singing,playing rhythm & lead guitar one after the other & sometimes at the same time?? He really is an underrated guitarist!!! Rare,absolutelly rare!!
They werent underrated ever, to be clear this song is inducted a years ago in top 50 songs in rock and roll history, top 50!!! How many bands have such song?
I love it, and loved it, no props, fancy lights or costumes, they just let the music do the talking, and did it ever do the talking, I mean, that Guitar work stops you dead in your tracks.
One the proudest moments in my life Opening for these guys in London Ontario Dr Rockets. If you ever get the chance you'll never see a better natureal Bbopper rockabilly guitarist!!!!! Brain Setzer!!!!!!!!
This is what real rocknroll looks like. Stand up drumming, never-miss bass, and Setzer plays a Gretsch. A Gretsch! So sorry I never saw these guys live. I'm 72, but when I grow up I want to be Brian Setzer. Or at least play guitar as well as he does.
Met the guts a few years ago , Farewell Tour Europe... Slim Jim broke his arm the night before in London.... I had a hotel room in the Marriot beside the Manchester Academy.... I was there for their concert , anyway I came out the lift and saw Brian and Lee go to the bar and i was star struck. I had been listening to them since I was born .. my father is a rocker... I followed them and I got the better of myself and said to Brian that I was very sorry about Lee.... long story short , he bought me a drink then invited me to join them for fish and chips and pink champagne... and got rat arsed .. what a night.
It was obviously summer, I had just turned 14 (1981), the jukebox started up, this song was revealed, and so began a long love story. 42 years of happiness thank you Tomcats. //// C'était l'été évidemment, je venais d'avoir 14 ans (1981), le juke-box s'est mis en marche, cette chanson s'est dévoilée, ainsi commença une longue histoire d'amour. 42 années de bonheur merci les Matous.
PEOPLE RAVE ABOUT GUITAR PLAYERS AND RIGHTLY SO. BUT MR SETZER IS TOP 10 IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PLAY ROCK A BILLY THE SPEED AND THE CONTENT HE DOES HES JUST A SUBLIME GUITAR PLAYER STRAY CATS ROCK 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😎🤣🎩♥️⚡👑🦁🐯🦁🐯🦁🐯🦁🐯
I got hooked on Rock n Roll/Rockabilly listening to my dad's records as a kid in the 70's. Still rockin at 48.Saw them live at The Palace in the very early 90's. One of the best concerts I've ever been to, they did three encores and the crowd still couldn't get enough. A great night, I'll never forget it. Thanks for the upload Mr Sloth.
@@waynesteffen3262 I sort of like to call the crap from now is crap cause it was mostly all put together with a computer and the so called artist are just pretending to play. I'd say a good portion of us don't fall for fakes.
@@pugmalley I hear ya! When I was a kid and a band came on a TV variety show--that's how old I am--members were usually lip-syncing and lip-playing to the recording of their hit. I was so bummed when someone pointed this out--that's how naive I was--noting the lack of cords coming off the guitars in an age before wireless. To be fair, it was mostly for time (TV was timed to the second) and because TV studios did not have the sound quality of recording studios. There's a couple of clips on UA-cam, I think of The Box Tops doing The Letter and Lovin' Spoonful doing Summer in the City, where the keyboard player lifts his hands and magically his instrument keeps playing.
Simple, it isn't. I like older stuff too but that's because that's the music I was listening to when I was a kid. You'll always like that music more than anything. Music hasn't really changed much. Pop has become bigger than ever, but other than that...
Back in the days when these guys got hot I played in a cover band that played all of the "hip" rock stuff. This was the early '80s, so we had to play all of the "new wave" stuff. Being a Texas guitar player I was always glad to be playing The Stray Cats stuff because their guitar stuff was what we all grew up playing here. "OK, this is the fun stuff!"
So talented so unique no one can copy the Stray Cats or their explosive energy on stage Sezter looks and sings like Eddie Cochran's love child and plays the guitar with just as much skill as the late and great EC.
strays cats fan from first hour !! Brian setzer are King from gêneration rockabilly music , after mr Eddy cochran r.i.p. thats is legends from very long time. jackyfan 👍
I love Brian as much as Eddie Cochran...and Brian got to play him in a film. Magnificent. Forever Eddie and Brian's songs will be loved. I wish I could see Brian in person. The God of rock
Went to see them in 1981/82 Royal court Liverpool all the seats got ripped out total mayhem what a fantastic gig so exciting the music and band fantastic
i seen them in Moncton in 89 they opened for SRV on his last tour before he was killed and to be honest i was blown away, they were awesome. Glad i got to see Stevie Ray on his last tour too !!
I saw an interview where Brian stated the Stray Cats were the best in the world at what they do. I assumed he was an egomaniac trying to get attention. Then I saw the band in the final tour in the Twin Cities. Brian, Lee and Jim proved Brian was simply telling the truth! It ain't bragging if you can really do it. Thanks for the great music guys!
funny how they kicked ass along side some of the best rock bands to ever grace the air waves in the 80s. Still great with the resurgence of the rockabilly movement.
I saw the stray cats in London twice, last time was 2019, took my 19 year old daughter, and she loved it, when they came on stage the whole place went wild. lucky it wasn't 2020 . Brilliant show, hope they tour again
Three guys and a bunch of gear that fits in a station wagon making better music than bands with 100x the stuff.
Best coment. And Brian plays fantastic.
Nunca pasará de moda Rock and roll forever ❤
Those dual ampeg stacks say otherwise, but great sentiment
Setzer was one of the greatest guitarists that never got recognized for it.
Ok. Possibly the most underrated guitar player??? Fn insane how good he is.
People don't realize just how hard this song really is to play on a guitar.
Brian Setzer is not underrated he's just not well known enough
@@user-nh8dj2ie6e I guess. But in any case”best of” listings, he’s never in the top 20. And I would happily argue he should be. He makes it look effortless when playing. And as a guitar player, nothing he does is that.

No gimmicks, no need for stage effects ...just pure talent !!!
I agree they are brilliant
No auto-tune😏
Lol define "gimmick." I see a shit ton of gimmicks... and LOVE ALL OF EM!!!
@@DouglasLippi They should put some energy into the performance though, it's pretty laid back.
So many different kinds of music and fashions. The good days 😊👍
Love these guys immediately when they came out!!! The bass player is amazing.
Saw him in Cleveland about a month ago. 90 minutes of non-stop energy. That Cat can play!
The chemistry in their sound is unserpassable.The very best at what they do IMO.Its not just Setzer.....it all fits together brilliantly.
Brian Setzer: Most underrated Guitarist of all time.
Not in my book he 'aint
@@pgspurs Well guess you're underrating him there then....
Aiden Robinson cracking guitar always loved this song live so many versions.
Most underrated ? où ? quand ? tout le monde connait brian setzer et ce qu'il vaut !
Buy a dictionary and look up the word underrated,cause underrated he's not

yes yes yes !!!!
Yeah man!!
Amen to that!

Flash back to the eighties with '50 music...LOVE IT!!!! Brian Setzer,...you ROCK!!!
Yea, it’s the mid 2020’s and watching an 80’s band sounding like the 50’s. What a mashup.
Brian Setzer is one of the most under-rated guitarists alive. He simply kicks ass !
Dennis Simmers He has always been A FREAKIN ' KICK AZZ , BAD AZZ !!! UNDERRATED !!!!
He isn't underrated as he is widely considered - both by fellow musicians and rock 'n' roll fans alike - to be one of the great rock 'n' roll guitarists alive. He's also won THREE grammys.
Go check out some of Jerry Reed's stuff. He puts EVERYBODY to shame and nobody knows of him unless you mention "Snowman".
@@madonnapitney7289- true but he got CRAZY good after attending Guitar Institute of technology in California.
Dennis Simmers In my opinion.. He was so much better than Eddie Van Halen
How 3 guys can make such an amazing sound is beyond me!
Because they are fucking good !!!
Effects help, but I totally get your point! They sound fantastic!
I know, just 3 guys on a big otherwise empty stage, no 3 backup singers, no 6 dancers, no fancy staging to lift them into the air, no pyrotechnics, yet it looks like a great entertaining performance. It doesn't look like the crowd feels cheated.
HUMIDITY IS BEYOND YOU Skippy! AMAZING MUSICIANSHIP borders in the MAGICAL expectrum.IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BEYOND YOU
Clyde Cavalieri and HOW does sn audience look when they ARE disappointed? 😂 😂
Saw them 30 yrs ago as a young Billy..........moving on...baldness, grey hair and a few pounds around the waist they took me back to some bloody fond memories..........bring it back again Cats !
Brian's playing has got both the dirt and the briliance. Thats what real RnR is made of.
Hated them when they first came out. Was into Crue, scorpions, Ozzy but I can appreciate them now and see how narrow minded I was.
Same here.
Can't deny quality music.x
Daniel Carrasco .....it takes a real mature man to admit that.
The Scorpions? Come on dude...
Have you broadened your mind?
Holy mother of God.....forgot about these boys......NEVER AGAIN.....DAMN......im dancing on the ceiling folks......now thats raw talent......JESUS.....
Saw these guys about 100 times during the 80s. There still BAD ASS!

How could they do at that time and bring us back to the 50s while we were in 80s till now....timeless Rockabilly. Hat off to you all....Stray cats.
Incredibly soulful, creative, honest and 100% ORIGINAL. There is nothing else like em.... Thank God for the Stray Cats🐈😻🐈⬛
That's a lovely clean guitar sound. The Dude can play. Seriously, he's class. And that Band is putting a real show on. This judge gives them: 10/10!
Brian is a brilliant guitar player.....rock this town 4 ever
If I tried to dance to this sped up version, I'd be dead in less than a minute. I love it!!!
These guys are OUT OF THIS WORLD. True musicianship! You will have to practice a lifetime to reach this level!
An incredible guitar player and an outstanding performer. He can rock any town.
Singing,playing rhythm & lead guitar one after the other & sometimes at the same time?? He really is an underrated guitarist!!! Rare,absolutelly rare!!
I agree!! But not underrated with people that truely appreciate music at this level of raw!! ✌🏼
Jim Heath also do this btw
One of the most underrated groups in my opinion
They werent underrated ever, to be clear this song is inducted a years ago in top 50 songs in rock and roll history, top 50!!! How many bands have such song?
Probably around 50, unless some bands have more than one on that list.
Hey champ, you missed a zero. One of the top 500 most influential according to R&R Hall of Fame.
Never underestimate a 3 piece band,rocking it hard
いつ見てもカッコいいよね。時代越えてる！LOVE❤️❤️❤️

Wow. They left blood on that stage. What a performance!

Seen them live - 2x!
Buenísimo
Rockabilly music is still alive and kickin'! Just turned 50 a couple of months ago and I agree! Love the "chicken pickin'" technique he has!
I'd give my right arm to able to play like Setzer! Oh, wait a minute.
Sore these cats amazing three piece Def one best ever love rockabilly no one does it better
That's how to entertain the crowd and the music is what your ears are for
The best Rockabilly band and boy,they sure can rock!!!!!!!Love them!!

Love these cats when i was 10 yo (1982) till now This ROCKSSSS !!!
One of the greatest performances EVER! Love that rockabilly.
simply incredible , the rendition of this song is almost the same as that of the single version 30+ years ago .

Top talent and it ranks right up there with my other favs. It's good enough to be #1.

Rockabilly
Rockabilly.
Saw them in the early nineties. Changed my life. The best live act ever!

Great R&R revival
The bass player climbed on his instrument while playing
Brian Setzer always a marvelous artist

yes, me too.
BESTEST Geetar player ever. So on the money, and timing is just top notch. So much good noise from 3 great musicians... Who would'nt luvvem...
Still the coolest cats in town

The film was "La Bamba", the Richie Valens bio-pic from around 1987.
I love how he tunes his e string down to a d midsong. So much jazz hidden in there
A legendary band no competition love u stray cats forever.
These guys are the cat's meow and definitely too cool for color TV!
Loved this song 🎶 when it came out and still do ❗️👌👌👍👍
These guys are intensely hard workers, and Setzer is just a killer performer.
Went to see them in 1981/82 Royal court Liverpool all the seats got ripped out total mayhem what a fantastic gig so exciting the music and band fantastic
Don't need no fancy crap just 3 guys who can play ..

I live for these kind of vids. As Brian draws Energy from this music...I draw my Life Force from his Music.

never been into this type of music, but god they can play and my toe is tapping away.
these guys were great. great sound.
Stone roses I'm the
interesting night music wise.this,gene vincent, jack white, in one night.

Agree ❤❤
Maestro Setzer always reaffirms that the guitar is indeed the coolest musical instrument EVER!!!
I was never a Stray Cats fan, but this dude is one hell of a guitar player.
Yesss watched these few days ago in Manchester an abso fabulous!! Still rockin afta all these years. Brian still awesome as ever!!
Saw them 2 times on stage, in the 80's: Ass kicking !
How lucky you are!
I've Seen them in Amsterdam. Lucky me.
Slim Jim great drummer. Spoke to him all the time at his club in LA.

lucky it wasn't 2020 .
Brilliant show, hope they tour again
Just goes to show, that you can make great music with pretty much the basics. What a great sound 😊
Brilliant .. Always thought of them as a Fad/gimmick band ... ffwd a few decades & wow .. that was fkn great. Fantastic musicians.
They came into a time of stuff like Culture Club and Bananarama. Difficult times for all ;)
