John Hiatt ACL 1993 Straight Outta Time

[@clifforddeintje5438]

John has never sounded better than when he was with the young 'Guilty dog's' They injected him with the vibrancy and energy to continue on his brilliant artistic path. Great show.... I have it on dvd.

[@boeliewinter7492]

Been there, seen that, John is more than a pffff , ....One of.... Brings my familie, gave me more than I could say and I've got his best thing on vinyl!!

I saw him at 328 Performance Hall in Nashville with the Guilty Dogs circa 1994 and they rocked the house. He’s an American treasure.

[@captinbeyond]

I bought every John Hiatt cassette/ then CD's and wore them out. So many hours of singing along with you John,

[@robertmills3487]

Saw this show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles. Wow! Great songs, great rhythm section, and perfectly good guitar! There aren't too many songwriters better than John Hiatt.

[@johnmaacks6023]

One of the greatest albums ever. Not many know about him. Kept the dream alive amongst the nineties crap.

[@davidkallewaard750]

My daughters boyfriend (the one she should have kept!) turned me on the JH. Have many of his albums. One of the great musical talents of my lifetime.

[@gregorallnight371]

A truly great talent and cool guy...wish there were more bands like this makin music today.

[@valeriesecor8739]

Amen n à Hallelujah!!!

[@rodwilliams4167]

Glad to add another JH song to my list. He is just such a gifted a songwriter as I've ever heard.

[@jiganum]

We left the Spectrum in Montreal the night of the Show going “ Great show and who was that kid on guitar? He was awesome!” Later saw Mike Ward with the Wallflowers at the Metropolis and got to tell him myself. Great music and good times!

[@rainkinggw]

Check out his first band School of Fish

@John Hiatt 🎵 Thanks for the response John I really appreciate it! Well I started listening to Ry Cooder first so I was also listening to you and then I heard Riding with the King. After that I didn’t hear from you in my neck of the woods until Slow Turning then I backtracked to Bring the Family and bought everything else ever since and have never been disappointed. lot of common ground covered in your lyrics and your style has been one that I have identified with ever since. I live in Costa Rica now with a my second family and have a couple of teenagers and we still play John Hiatt in the car daily. It’s amazing just how many of your lyrics hit home with me. Thanks for all the beautiful music and the great company over all these years John, Really Brother I appreciate that!

[@abc-bu7nr]

Mike Ward is awesome

[@sabrinalefthand1304]

Oh my goodness 🤔🤔🤔...... I used to play this music with my late favorite cousin when we were teenager (hot summer nights)... beautiful songs Jonh Hiatt

[@kurtelia2212]

I just saw a 70-year-old John Hiatt in concert in Durham, NC. He's still got it! (but it is fun to see him in his younger days too...)

[@whitecollarwelder]

Yes, I just saw him at a venue here in central OK. He sounded great and put on a great show but he looked frail, probably because I always see him from this era in my mind.

[@roberthamlin6638]

What a great song. Thanks John.

[@roberthamlin6638]

@John Hiatt 🎵 I guess I first heard you in the early nineties. I had read about you in a Guitar Player magazine I n an article on Bonnie Raitt. I read that you had wrote Thing Called Love. I know the first album I got of yours was Perfectly Good Guitar. I wish I had known of you earlier. You’ve got some great songs. Probably the first song I heard you do was on the radio and that was Slow Turning. What a song, but you’ve go many of them. Another one I really like is Straight Out of Time. Also love Buffalo River Home and Fireball Roberts. You’ve cost me a small fortune on the jukebox but I don’t mind. I enjoy the songs and I like trying to enlighten the world about your music.Keep doing what you’re doing and keep on keeping on.🎸🎹🎶👍

When he hits it he knocks it out of the park

[@kcendsley]

This first aired on Austin City Limits on 12/14/1993. It was recorded the previous weekend. I saw the same show in a small club in Houston the night after they filmed this show in Austin. The "Live from Austin, Texas" DVD, CD and a new audiophile vinyl version of he show are all available from New West Records.

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

Saw them on this tour. Perfectly Good Guitar. Michael Ward pretty good guitar player. Great show!

[@kinderwagen6168]

What a performance! And what a song! What is the magic? The pure sound? John!? This performance really catches me! And how about: By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet For our sake the crickets started playing their castonets Like a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man

[@riobravomultimedia4104]

You know that bass player is enjoying this gig....killer backup....

[@kcendsley]

Definitely! Davey Faragher started performing as a teen in a family group, the Faragher Bros. He was a a founding member of Cracker, then worked with Hiatt and many others throughout the 1990s. He's been touring with Elvis Costello as one of The Imposters for nearly 20 years, in addition to dozens of other session and performing stints. His bio is quite impressive : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davey_Faragher

Thank you Michael Ward RIP

[@JackCumming1]

Oh man - I hadn't heard that Michael had died. I loved his work with John Hiatt - he was a very special player.

1993 can't be the right year. I met my wife in 1996, and we saw Hiatt and the Guilty Dogs together on one of our earliest dates.....

[@kcendsley]

Thank you Judy. We love John too. Here in Houston, we just saw John at the House of Blues a week or so ago, with Sonny and the Goners. It was the 30th anniversary of slow turning and they play the entire album plus much more. It was an awesome show.

[@goodun6081]

Okay, since somebody below commented on not caring for Mike Ward's guitar-playing or that he might have been a little out of tune, here's an anecdote from the 4 times I saw them play on the PGG tour. First time, very early in the tour, at Toads Place, they were good but a little creaky, not road-seasoned yet. Second show, a couple of months later at a large club (The Sting), much more confident and much much improved, and in particular Mike Ward's slide intro and solo on Thank You Girl was simply awesome, wild and crazy! The third show was at a midsize club (Pearl St), and I brought my brand-new girlfriend along, who had never heard or heard of John Hiatt and had lived a somewhat sheltered life musically speaking . neither of us was happy with Mike Wards band that opened, called Lil' Buddy, I think they might have been basically the Guilty Dogs minus John Hiatt , not sure because we did our best to tune them out (my girl kept asking me "John Hiatt's music isn't gonna be like this, is it?"), but fortunately my new lady went completely crazy over the opening song "Something Wild" and after that it was all good! Finally, we saw Hiatt and the Guilty Dogs open for Jackson Browne at GreatWoods and Hiatt was excellent, making Jackson Browne seem quite tame, even boring by comparison. Alas, David Lindley wasn't part of Jackson's band on that tour either. As double-bills go, it was a hopeless mismatch of bands, and we left before we got halfway into Jackson's performance.

[@BenDover-sx8li]

I was at the Pearl Street show. That was a great show, and yes the "opening act" was not a highlight. However once John and the boys hit the stage it was a different story.

Is it me or was I ever on your mind

[@jixxxxer17]

Holy Golden Tone is that a Gibson goldtop 335 with P90's ? Peace !

[@seanwoodburn2616]

Les Paul Signature. If you look closely you will see that the body is offset where a 335 is symmetrical. Made in the 70's and much misunderstood so it failed. Nothing like a P-90. Quite the opposite in fact as they were low impedance pickups. I have an LP Signature and an L5-S both with low Z pickups and I love them. Super articulate and clean. They will show your flaws for sure. They also process superbly and were ahead of their time. All of the active pickups you see now, EMG etc., are in fact low impedance pickups. The low impedance pickups are what set it apart but Dimarzio and a zillion other pickup makers were pushing overwound pickups hard...and Mesa was reinventing the tube amp. Everything new was pointing to more gain. Low Z pickups just didn't seem to fit at the time. Now we know better. I have several guitars with P90's. Different animal...kind of feral in a good way. Best with not much more than a cord and a good amp. maybe a pedal or two. Insane dynamic range...clean with a light touch and medium gain but super gritty if you dig. Mike made that thing sound great! Cool observation on your part. Cheers!

[@epistte]

It looks like a Gibson/Epiphone ES-335 to me.

[@susanstrong1249]

I asked him over the week end. He was here for brunch. Naturally the question was riveting, for HIM. LOL. Gibson does not endorse, is the correct answer. I was agog...Fender will give anyone a guitar, same with Baby Taylor... but I was horrified that Gibson didn't want the advertising.

[@epistte]

Because covering up the name on the headstock disguises up the fact that the geetar is obvious a Gibson/Epiphone. :corporate facepalm:
