Texas Tornados - "Wasted Days & Wasted Nights" [Live from Austin, TX]

[@vernonknight5827]

He was my Dad’s favorite singer! Freddy was True Tex Mex Blues Man!!!

[@marypedraza2755]

Freddy was one of the oldies but goldies that no one can touch. His music became legend. Old school at its best. RIP Fender your always in our hearts.

[@SimRacingCentral529]

One of the greatest mullets of all time.

[@dondale2303]

This was my mother's favorite song, she passed in 1990

[@reedkraemer3812]

This should have been a hit for him 15 years earlier had he not been unjustly put in prison for having 2 joints in 1960, just after this song was originally released. A condition of his parole was to avoid bars and thus gigs. It took him 15 years to get the song back on the charts and his career back on track. This is why the song sounds very old for a 1970s hit. He fought the good fight. I teach at a high school in Phoenix and I have students that are fans. Rock on Freddy!!

I lived about 4 blocks from Freddie in Corpus Christi. He used to come to our cruise nights at Snapkas and was a really friendly guy. Loved old cars and motorcycles! He drove an old Chevy pickup , I think maybe a 53 Chevy.

[@gracebeltran871]

I'm 43 yrs, and my father and grandfather heard him in a Cantina sing in English for the first time, they recognized him from the translated songs he sang in Spanish. One of the first Americans to acknowledge his background, Linda Ronstand would follow many years later....I was a teenager. 😊

Who have you heard dissing them?

[@jxxnrxxi2160]

@@WinsteadB73 Doug had only one CD nominated for an award, and that was with the Last Texas Blues Band.

[@mikekennedy4572]

Back when this song came out, it was inevitably playing on a jukebox in an old bar in our town, the brick building first built as a blacksmith shop before 1920. My late cousin and I would stop in there sometimes on late weekend nights to get cold draft beers, and this song was probably played the most often. Hearing this tune reminds me of the good times with my cousin, who died way too young. He also had his own band, although it was mainly classic rock and roll and oldies.

[@reneed6020]

Look at him represent!😊Love that he’s wearing his hometown San Benito Greyhounds shirt!!! We have great friends from there.

[@horsehide3039]

Freddy might just be the ultimate entertainer. He has always and forever been a hell of a good guy. I was living in Las Cruces in 75-76 and hung out in the 70/80 truck stop on the west end of town. This song was played almost non-stop on the jukebox through the midnite hours.

[@boostmobile9679]

Loved freddy fender. No one like him He represented Texas very well.

[@isaiasmendoza17399]

This was a legendary live performance

[@denysarcuri1213]

OMG! I've loved several singers . . . but none so under-rated as Freddy. He was incredibly special! And this song is high on the list of Freddy's great ones. RIP Freddy . . . and thanks for the years of live performances at the Indio National Date Festival/Riverside County Fair. I don't forget you Freddy!

This guy has a very unique voice. In HS Spanish class there was a reel to reel with Freddy. Wasted and Rancho Grande, I played that tape every day for a year and a half.

I turn 55 tomorrow. I lost my Mother before I turned 21 in Jan 1988. They doctor who put tubes in my ears twice could of been Freddy double. He has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. Sadly the great ones never got the justice they deserve while alive and after they left us!!!! I hope he and his family always know how much the meant to us ❤️! Trust me I make it to heaven my beautiful mother will be right beside him asking him to sing after all these years. I know I will be doing the same
