John Hiatt & The Goners - Tennessee Plates

From a TV concert in Hamburg, Germany on Oct. 9'th, 1987

[@andyevans2336]

Got to provide production for Roy Rogers, John Hyatt and Stevie Ray Vaughn back in the day….what an honor! What a show! This was during Stevie’s Live Alive! tour.

Sonny Landreth blistering the slide guitar. Love it!

What an excellent performer. Nothing can beat John Hiatt live.

[@flapnoman]

less than 1 million views of Sonny absolutely tearing it up..tisk tisk..

[@daf827]

John Hiatt rocks! I saw them live in NYC around this time. The best. Sonny's playing is sick! I think his biggest influence must be Johnny Winter. This band is perfection. Great clip.

My favorite Hyatt band

[@daf827]

I was fortunate to see JH & the Goners in NYC during this period. What a kickass band! Great songs, great musicianship, the best!

[@dalekidd8431]

What a great artist, wouldn't miss it for the world!

[@dmanlotecka9431]

Thanks for putting this whole concert together for the world to enjoy...

[@PeterLisboa]

John Hiatt is one of the greatest ever...

[@marilyncourtney9567]

Love his music

[@garyclements6946]

Sonny Landreth is a freak of nature. Hiatt has back to back albums (Bring The Family & Slow Turning) with Ry Cooder & Sonny Landreth respectively. Has a singer songwriter EVER had that caliber on consecutive albums?

[@mizzissippiblues]

thanks for share fendermac this is great!

[@Lefthandbadass]

Love that song.

[@andyinoregon]

@Marktuber1 My pleasure. I was aware of John Hiatt as a songwriter in the late '80s, but I didn't appreciate him as a live performer until late one night in 1988 when he and The Goners tore it up on Late Night With David Letterman doing "Slow Turning." Fell in love with that song and with that unforgettable slide guitar lick from one Sonny Landreth. Always make sure to see them live whenever they tour the Pacific Northwest.

From the amazing Thelma and Louise soundtrack!!

[@FRoman-rt3gp]

Merci de rappeler le truc ,,, un des plus beau film ,,, jamais égalé ! Comme la Zik

[@jondelaney1474]

seen Sonny twice....most amazing slide player

[@AndyMatts44]

Saw him in a tiny bar in Madison, WI. Less than 100 people there. I was standing about 10 ft away from him.

[@pretorious700]

Slowed down by half, this kicks ass

[@popplace4]

Cool tune!

[@geoffraydeville1313]

Man. What a dream

[@mikeoscar1301]

Man Sonny Landreth is freakin' awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AndyMatts44]

Saw him once, in a small bar, maybe 50 to 100 people total. I was less than 10 ft away from him for the whole show. Had no idea how THAT worked out that way.

[@pjcisum]

Tennessee plates with Louisiana rhythm :-)

[@grahamshankarjihunt]

Going to see him next Tuesday, with Sonny Landreth - they're doing the whole of the Slow Turning album - can't wait! :-)

[@thatdrewrivers]

The Charlie Sexton version is far superior! :D

[@grahamshankarjihunt]

@@thatdrewrivers Bollocks!😊

[@waterfordrs22]

Sonny Landreth is amazing on this.

[@martymiles3204]

Sonny flogging that Firebird with a country Johnny Winter flair.

[@HenriNigro]

saw him end the newport folk festival with this song solo / great to watch the line of grim state police in front of the stage smile at the last line where he's in prison/

[@jojotamayoayo1709]

The slower version is much better as you can't appreciate the words on this one my opin,

[@aaronexists4308]

True. And even worse in my opinion is that they didn’t start with the riff-thing, wrong beat, and it has a weird backup thing that was not in the original

[@michaelpietzsch]

omg that snare mike

[@HenriNigro]

mighty fine pickin and singin

[@thomasdeas1941]

Fifteen years ago Mr. Hiatt predicted problems with Tennessee plates.

[@gcrain464]

Sonny Landreth. Bow to the master.

[@garyclements6946]

Sonny makes me want to quit

[@leonalm7510]

John Hiatt: sitting at the feet of the master songwriter

[@briancoleman971]

I just visited Brushy Mountain State Prison this summer!

[@richeaton7436]

Sonny on the plank. Aug. 18 in Raleigh. Counting 'em down...

[@junkduma]

Superb

[@SaintrioMike]

Damn, Sonny is on fire here.

[@martymiles3204]

Ripping that firebird like no tomorrow

[@thomasdeas1941]

Ohh my gawd

[@najahraibon5917]

Just swing me 'round' weeee!!

[@danielafuchs3472]

Die Band "Aaschglatt" hat das Lied auch gecovert. Zwar anders, aber mit dem Einfluss von Hiatt. Der Song heißt "Sex, Drugs und Rock'n Roll. Auch gut...

[@rockerbox1973]

go on john,give it some of that son!

[@mmaforvictims1340]

I Agree

[@akstandup7912]

I went to see this band on the Bring The family tour. I was picking up my tickets in the afternoon before the gig and bumped into the band and had a quick chat. John wasn't with them. They were not a happy bunch and didn't seem to be enjoying the tour. I went away saying to myself, "Blimey, his band don't like him".

[@newporter42]

I like how it sounds like Battle of New Orleans by Johnny Horton.

[@dwightrenfield8670]

is sonny even using his slide? sure don't see it

[@steveguida2639]

John Hiatt is better live period

[@parmesancrisp]

HOLY SHIT, SONNY LANDRETH

[@andyinoregon]

If Sonny were ten years older he could have been the perfect replacement for Duane in the Allman Brothers Band.

[@garyclements6946]

The perfect replacement was Warren Haynes. I think a better move would have been replacing Lowell George in Little Feet

[@goodun2974]

@@garyclements6946 , there's an excellent video on KZbin of Sonny playing on "Dreams" with Warren Haynes, the Allman Brothers and a sax player. It's mesmerizing.

[@BunneRabb]

Who mixed this?

[@derfunkhaus]

Somebody with terrible ears

[@thomasdeas1941]

I bought 3 cds. Back in the day. No one cares about spelling on this post.

[@uncledevo]

Sonny sounds just like Jerry Garcia on this.

[@garyclements6946]

Jerry Garcia is so far below the caliber player that Sonny Landreth is that the difference can be measured in light years.

[@thomasdeas1941]

An then I was correct again, about Tennessee. Do not go there.

[@Nitromessiah]

Landreth is talented but always misses the mark... WHY did he take this great song in the direction of "Battle Of New Orleans" ???

[@onoyudont]

Cos they needed to loosen that Teutonic crowd up a bit.
