Me, and I am Italian ❤. I love these guys, since they composed a piece for the movie 'Streets of Fire ' ( one bad stud)❤

[@roxiroxi4181]

Me...i'm Italian too! I remember a great concert of the Blasters here near Milan...miss them as one of great bands in the world! Dave Alvin was yummy at the time! I'm glad he is around now still playing and singing with a deeply and intense voice i never heard...

Probably the best electric bass performance ever in rock n roll history.

[@juliewycoff892]

Saw the Blasters and Los Lobos as a double bill at the Coffeehouse on the UC Davis campus in 1983. About 75 people in the place. What a show! Incredible energy.

[@alexasaltz4229]

I was there too!!!

[@jimferris9447]

I saw the Blasters around ‘82 or ‘83 at the long lost, legendary Mississippi Nights in Saint Louis. A few weeks later, I saw Los Lobos at the same club. In-between shows, saxophonist Steve Berlin moved over from the Blasters to Los Lobos, so I saw him at both shows. I knew a local music critic and used to frequently sit with him. He would interview the artists in break, etc. I said to Berlin “Hey - I just saw you, pal!” He chuckled and said “I remember you guys! That was a great show!” I told him this one is too.

[@davebrau3003]

2022 here. I saw them play at The Music Machine in LA opening for and backing Bo Diddley back in the 80s. I’m nearly 60, have seen A LOT of shows. Bo and the Alvin brothers performed a heavy duty, unadulterated set of rock ‘n’ roll that to this day I can’t express the amount of gratitude and awe that I feel from that experience. It was like seeing your musical rock and rock great grandparents in the prime of their lives, and hearing what for me, I describe as the primordial roots of modern American music. Amazing. God Bless them.

The Blasters are an American treasure - love 'em.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Saw the Blasters live three times...twice at the Town Pump in Vancouver in the late '80s and at the Commodore Ballroom when the original lineup reunited...they were three of the best concerts I've ever seen and I was fortunate enough to see '60s concerts with the Beatles, Stones, Who, Dylan, Cream, Hendrix, Doors, Grateful Dead, etc...

[@LB-bm4sn]

Long live Phil and Dave Alvin!! 2022 and still rocks

[@clem666ish]

Dave and Phil Alvin..... Doesn't get much cooler than that!!

No matter how many times I watch it, it's still soooo good!

[@honestyquality3565]

Me too

[@honestyquality3565]

I just heard this song today. I love it.

[@franzkafka77]

Phil Alvin is a national treasure. Why that smile hasn't made it into any movie I know of is a mystery. In this clip I'm amazed that Dave doesn't unplug that Stratocaster by stepping on his own cord- which he dances around for the entire song, almost like he meant to do it. Such a fine band...they deserved a whole lot more....

[@lotharroberts5978]

You ain't kiddin. One of the greatest American bands ever. Should have been huge. They had perfect songs.

[@pauljoseph8691]

Ah Franz. I've been waiting for you in a Castle to discuss the Trial and your excellent taste in music that is worthy of a book.

[@stevemale9936]

Oh but he has, as the Blasters make two appearances in "Streets Of Fire". Very wooden movie but phenomenal soundtrack.

[@DrRussPhd]

I saw these guys back in '82 thereabouts, they opened for Joan Jett in Trenton NJ and they crushed it.They stole the show and I have been a fan since.

[@allanreid4935]

Saw that concert on TV 1985. I thought they were ace. Some of the music that Dave Alvin's releasing just now is fantastic. All the best from Scotland, Dave!!

[@larrythomas4380]

Lucky enough to see them live a few times before they were too Famous. What memories !!!

End of June 2022. Holds up mighty well!

[@jknuttel]

I like the Blasters a lot. However, I can't help it: Freeze frame at 1:57, lead singer Dave Alvin (or is it Phil?) looks a little like Frank Gorshin as the Riddler.

[@charlesroberts3650]

Awesome, Phil Alvin smiling looks a lot like Frank John Gorshin Jr., AKA "The Riddler" from the TV series, what CHARISMA.

[@sidgriffin813]

They call their music "R&B in cowboy boots" and you cannot give a better description than that. I have loved this band since I saw them at The Starwood in West Hollywood circa 1980 doing These Arms Of Mine by Otis Redding. Their music will last through the ages and while many below justifiably compliment the Alvin brothers what about Bateman on drums and Bazz on bass? That, friends, is a killer rhythm section who know the power of The Groove.

[@pauljoseph8691]

Absolutely agree. Just why not. Not if I was their manager
