The Blasters, Dark Night

Show was at the Alter Bar in Pittsburgh PA, March 17, 2011. Phil and Johnny Walker put on the best show I've seen in ages.

From Dusk Till Dawn the most epic of soundtracks songs to play while running to Mexico from the law

[@ppvk2610]

To me it's a bit of a double album along with Desperado..

[@orange-op4ob]

His guitar playing is so effortless, and he sings over that riff somehow. Pure talent & skills Good shit.

[@SnowTails]

this song will always remind me of ''Dusk till Dawn'' :D

Met the lads in 1982 or maybe 83 at a gig in Sheffield, England. They were fantastic as a band and as people, had a great night with them after the show, they were unknowns in England back then. One of my most treasured memories from back when i had hair and one chin !!. Happy Happy Days.

The Blasters are roof of men who love their music & are skilled craftsmen with their instruments, able to capture & bend a moment, every moment, of making that music & tame it like a bucking bronco. Amazing!

[@DcHewlett]

Keith Wyatt's solo on this song is one of my favorites! So clean & soulful.

[@Issam_Heni]

Hot air hangs like a dead man From a white oak tree People sitting on porches Thinking how things used to be Dark night Dark night The neighborhood was changing Strangers moving in A new boy fell for a local girl When she made eyes at him She was young and pretty No stranger to other men But doors were being locked at night Old lines were drawn again [Chorus] I thought things like that Didn't matter anymore I thought all the blood Had been shed long ago Dark night Dark night He took her to the outskirts And pledged his love to her They thought it was their secret But someone knew where they were He held her so close He asked about her dreams There was a shot from a passing car And the young girl screamed

[@bondojoe8161]

This is not just a classic, it has its own class.

[@bigpal1391]

Was at this show, one of the upteem hundred times I've seen them. This was a particularly fun one as Phil was lively with that bottle! Just saw them in Nashville again last week and they're still as on point as they ever were.

[@rebeccapesyna9260]

Was at this show. They were well worth the long wait after having to get through three really lousy local bands. The Blasters have aged like fine whiskey and still can heat up a crowd. Too bad the venue sucked,they deserved better!

You dont wanna get the drummer drunk. That's so f'ing true, guitarists can afford a certain level of sloppiness, not a ridiculous amount, but somewhat. A wasted drummer, well, that's a recipe for either disaster or insane godlike insanity. Whichever one it is, it's not gonna be how you expected the gig to go.
