Delbert McClinton + The Cate Brothers (full show).

Live broadcast of Delbert McClinton and his band (most of his set) plus The Cate Brothers (full set). Recorded off the television many years ago so the tape has deteriorated a bit. That's Ron Eoff playing bass for the Cate Brothers band (except for the last song where Donald "Duck" Dunn sits in). The show was taped in December of 1978.

Thank you for allowing others to watch this even today in 2023. Brilliant! Cheers from NZ :)

From Austin City Limits, I remember seeing this made me a Delbert fan for life, still buying his music. Classic!

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

The Cate Brothers are gods here in NW Arkansas.🎶💕👍

[@nicholasanderson3567]

My Dad turned me on to Delbert and I have been a fan ever since. This footage is GOLD.

[@PhilBaird1]

Loved the Cate Bros back in the day but didn't really appreciate what a smokin' hot band they were too. Great footage of Delbert and the boys in concert. Many thanks for sharing this.

I was lucky enough to see Delbert McClinton perform in a nearby club in in a college town, while the late Don Wise was still playing sax! Super fun shows! ❤️

[@BOOMNERD51]

My very first exposure to the Cate Brothers. Out of the gate, the bass and overall driving rhythm section are amazing! 👍 No cover charge. Thanks for this show!

[@teresab6383]

This is before I knew Delbert but it’s fun watching him from so many years ago. Same voice, same face and same thrill listening to him ❤❤❤

[@bojones2744]

saw Earl and them last night, Terry is still with them, very good time

[@jimlabos]

Saw the Cate bros. with Levon Helm in Montreal twice. The first time it was at the McGill auditorium and the second it was at a club on the West Island called Mapes I think. They were 3 feet away form me on stage the size of a drumset! Played just like they were for 10,000! Grateful to have lived to see all this talent so close up. Glad to hear the Cate Bros. are still playing. My old band used to cover Union Man!

[@shellysellers3593]

Thank you so much for sharing this, holds a special place in my heart ❤️

[@abg125]

Thanks for uploading this! I'm 31...and sad to say one of the few people of my generation that love Delbert...I've been trying to find any video footage of Delbert pre '81 but it's tough...so thanks! The Cate Brothers always deliver too!

[@kevinplacid9351]

delbert only found you recently absolutly love your sound booooooooom

[@RuRedy4MuZak]

Thank you, put on as many as you have. They are the best local band I think we've had . Dance all night long with these guys!!!

[@larrywilliams6846]

In 1985 a friend showed me the 145 progression on a bass and many good times came of that. He also gave me a Cate Brothers album. When I heard Yield not to temptation I was so taken that it helped me to understand what playing in the pocket means. Wonderful ! As for Delbert what can I say ? Simply Amazing !

[@timwitwer6911]

[@TopekaCate]

Great to see this old footage from the UK. We love 'em too! Earl really socks it from 43:00 onwards - great to see them all those years ago before they did their one and only European Tour . Thanks for posting - keep them coming if you have any more as we haven't seen thisfootage in the UK

[@SingleMalt77005]

I'm loving this. Thanks for posting.

[@rudybarnsley8741]

DELBERT RULES !!

[@RMcDuffee55]

love the Cate bros. I miss them since the pandemic. I hope Ernie, Earl, Ron and Terry are all well. Come to Omaha or Lincoln damit!

[@cityslick007]

Had the "Union Man" record. Great tune!

[@roberthastings708]

Delbert said this is his favorite song. "Because it's my life." I know it's so.

[@urs-wernermerkli3035]

What a fine merger in 1978

[@ronaldhagen4890]

FANTASTIC

[@jaybreen1010]

I love that there's some little kid on rhythm guitar. Who did he grow up to be? Also I love Take It Easy in G! I sing it in Bb like on the album with my band but this would be much easier to cut that vocal in.

[@hairyhoudini5565]

The youngest 'member' of the band is probably Delbert's son, Clay.

[@DJandtheBurrups]

'I Don't Know Why'. One of my favorite Cate songs. Right up there with I'm Losing You'. Is that Jim Spake on sax?

[@friskylamar]

Robert Johnson - It is. (My first "tour")

[@kevinplacid9351]

shit love these cate bros too orsom sound booooom

[@funnntimz]

the drummer looks just like the guy now drumming for Tommy Castro

[@frogeregis]

♥♥♥

[@freakbennett2263]

I don't know whether he ever played at a Warehouse, but Delbert played some shit holes, SLU Union, there were Seats for days, but only 14 persons were there, all from Bogalusa, from Austin to Pensacola, from Nawlins to Memphis, any I am rambling, jűs sāyīn !😎✌😎!

[@andrewbarbantini717]

I hear ya, Freak. I once saw Bob Seger at a local VFW hall. There were about two dozen folks there. I was standing close enough to shake his hand. Sometimes ya gotta pay yer dues.

[@chrisunity]

I got to see him in Glenwood Springs, Co in the early 90' s. That night I "tried out" in the crowd and got to get up and sing with him. Wish I could remember which one. I've got it on cassette, Ha! Saw them outside Portland, Or at an outdoor concert in the late 90's. Probably in Springfield, Mo, as I saw tons of greats who came through if Chicago was on their curcuit.

[@mikepakalak]

Someone asked about who is the sax player. Is it Don Wise?

[@gonzalotrevino4733]

Sax player is Robert Harwell, Ronnie Cobb on keys, Billy Sanders on guitar, and I think Randy Keen on the other sax. All from Fort Worth. The drummer is Ernie Durawa from San Antonio.
