[@l.r.8637]

@@lastnamefirst4035 is was at the Orange County Fairgrounds with Los Lobos and -X-. Then saw them play 3months later with -X- at the Greek Theatre. Phil has been ill as of late or I would've seen them play this last Saturday. Praying he gets better👍🙏

Saw the Blasters in 81 in Frisco. They definitely rocked the club. Fucked us up! A great band live…best you can see.

Dick clark knows his stuff. The blasters are great!

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

Dick was far cooler than he had any need to be.

[@lesterclaypool1]

Every video Phil has a serious and different guitar. That Blonde Super 400 ces he has here was worth 4k new. I couldn't guess what it's with, now. He was playing a Gibson 335 dot neck IN BLACK in another video. Fucking crazy. I wonder if he still has all of them?

[@andyinoregon]

Dick wondering where the Chicano influence is in their music at 1:25 has obviously never listened to one of their best songs, "Border Radio."

It's a dark night.

[@algassman6564]

@ 00:58 "Eeeh... that's some bum" LMAO

[@bishlap]

Dick Clark never had a clue about the music/bands he interviewed...other than Buddy Holly, maybe.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

It's obvious.

[@bishlap]

@@sgt.thundercok4704 I recall Dick reading a promo for the following weeks' show and he said, "The Cars and Ric OCK-AH-SEK will be here.
