These guys were incredible live. This is the genuine article right here boys.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

I saw them 4 or five times. I think of them often. What a party on wheels!

[@henrysonnemann2597]

I saw them for the 1st time in 1987 in holland and they are still great.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@artFeinPokerParty]

Free for fans of Art Fein's Poker Party?

[@FfukieBonga]

Yep, that sounds about right. Saw them at Tivoli, Utrecht about that time. Beer was flying everywhere. Saw them twice in Tivoli actually. The Tragically Hip was another great live band in that period.

[@johngomez7314]

Me and my buds used to check them out at the Whiskey but mostly at the old Palamino club. People would dress like the 50's and dance the way they did in the 50's. They were hot!

[@SDsailor7]

I do not understand why these guys did not get famous?.. they are great artists.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

In my book, they will always be famous.

[@tonyfrascella1857]

In a lot of circles they were

[@luckydog-287]

Been playing guitar, and singing, for 40 years, and I will never get that good. Not even close. Oh well, life is still grand!

[@virgiliorodriguezmac]

I could never get tired of listening to the Paladins, I remember seeing them in Orange County all the time. This song cheers me up. Dave Gonsalez is one of the best guitar players in this genre, so underated. I love him, give me a beer darn it!!!

[@dannork1240]

Why have I never heard of these guys until right now? Holy moly are they fun to listen to. THANK YOU for posting this!

[@billybob1620]

One of my favorites from the 90s

[@christophergilbert1131]

Playing tonight at Don's Beachcomber. Hell Yes. Getting psyched up.

[@evanfrmheaven]

these guys all have perfect hair, and perfect amps!

[@Vanspecial]

Absolutely one of the best rockabilly songs I've heard. Great cover.

[@TheJmu2]

This is Rock N' Roll

[@christophergilbert1131]

Playing on Saturday. Fucking stoked.

[@Hungry_Hunter]

We meed more of this style of music. Wonder full stuff.

[@RhythmAndSoul59]

Along with James Intveld & Russell Scott, these guys have always been the best roots American Rockabilly Blues band out there! Lets hope they'll give us a few more So. Cal. gigs some day. Damn, i LOVE this !

[@johnsolis7631]

Paladins, Russell Scott, James intveld are the best rock and roll groups ever.

[@tonepoet]

The Stray Cats got famous and these guys didn't? I don't get it.

[@HarveyMushman888]

You hit the nail on the head...

[@mikecaldwell4442]

what were they? that was the problem...marketed as rockabilly but...not quite...half baked stevie ray blues licks

[@jerryrudd4723]

@@mikecaldwell4442 the same guy who produced Stevie Ray Vaughn produced the Paladins.

[@sherileorna8450]

HELL-O

[@sherileorna8450]

No Doubt

[@HaroldSchreuder]

[@tremendezfoods]

[@pankGejt]

[@sherileorna8450]

[@virgiliorodriguezmac]

You should have seen him live!!! I was lucky enough.

[@las0627]

[@las0627]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys!!!!

[@Borisky36]

Damnnnn! this really brought back some memories.

[@olivei2484]

I saw them at San Fransisco Blues Feastival in '86. Put on a rockin' set. Shared bill with Albert King shortly before he passed away. Thanks for the post.

[@scoutthedoggie]

[@al6347]

Then yelled slow down I could here a girl saying no do not slow down then I heard her boyfriend say shhh it's a song . Dave said I'm going to play "Slow down " for my vato loco friend " y que

[@virgiliorodriguezmac]

I have seen them alot of times specially at Lindas Doll Hut. in the 90s. where r u in so. cal. I agree with you Dave Gonzales and Tom are underated. good luck

[@keithsa41]

these guys are tight. Excellent!

[@Darksunshinerain87]

July 30, 1986? Exactly one year before I was born!

[@thevoodoo57]

Talented!

[@tomking5358]

These guys lived behind me near Moonlight Beach in Encinitas CA in the late 80s'.....great neighbors...I remember Dave being a really nice guy, always willing to stop and talk a bit about the music biz....the shows at the Belly Up were awesome, good times........

[@virgiliorodriguezmac]

no way man, which one of them was wasted, guitar, bass or drums. that is some great memory. once at a show I mistook the singer from the twisting tarantulas with the bouncer.

[@McShamus001]

I saw these guys at the BUT in Solana Beach in 94 or 95. Country Dick Montana and Greg Alaman both came out of the crowd to do songs. Unreal night.

[@SimMaster]

this is so awesome

[@hanknamy]

gotta love it

[@Kmman008]

Da greatest banf ever :) Dave's da man

[@noybnoygdb1022]

Saw them EVERY time they came to Jackson's George Street Grocery back from ... hard to remember - 82 to 85

[@dunskie]

Thanks. Do you know of a bass player named Joe Leon that used to play with these guys? I think he did. Not sure.

[@SDsailor7]

Yes, you are absolutely right.. I know they are famous with me. Best wishes

[@81stsand]

smokin!!!!

[@mooks0007]

Just too good.

[@fazendado]

@laurentheham Awesome to be able to go see these guys still!!!! I was unaware that they still played, do they do that very often or travel very far? Would love to get the chance to experience this. I love this band.

[@sawmillslim]

Re: Dunskie: I believe that's Tom Yearsley, part of The Paladins' original line up. Tom left some years ago but returned in later years. Tom (was) is married to singer Candy Kane.

[@SDsailor7]

I guess it is. But you guys are number one in my book. Do you still perform? Best regards

[@tonyfrascella1857]

And still going strong today

[@V8Deuce]

THE PALADINS will be reuniting and performing the Rhythm Collision Weekend event at the Marriott Hotel in Riverside, California - January 8,9,10 - 2016

[@virgiliorodriguezmac]

Am I the only who comes back to this video? lol

[@OverSightMedia]

Actually, you're in good company. Daddy Yar is the 4th most popular video on Poker Party. with 287,000 hits over 14 years, it averages around 500 view a month, and about a 3rd of those are return viewers. I think they're a standout group. Thanks for posting.

[@heinzausmainz]

great - perhaps i'm wrong - isn't this song called 'daddy yar' ?

[@muzquizsebastian207]

I'm pretty sure they used to play live shows around San Diego and Tijuana back in the early 80's. Never went to see them but I remember the promotional posters for the upcoming concerts. I guess they never made it to the big time.

[@KentCCarpenter]

Haackrock, Filip: It looks like a Guild, X-500 Stuart to me! A little thicker than the X-175.

[@michaelmcmahan2524]

It's actually an X-550. They're the carved top version of a 500. Not too many of them made. Dave has 2 of them. This one is his road one. He doesn't take this one on the road anymore either. I assume it's due to the value of it.

[@Picswisplosion]

srsly kick ass rockabilly at its best

[@slayerrules114]

Besides the Stray Cats, nobody in the underground 80's rockabilly scene got really famous, unfortunately.

[@Jan_Christian_Gjems]

Mercy!!!

[@theidey]

yes, Joe Jadzedewski played with them for the Slippin In release and subsequent tour, then recorded Palvoline but was replaced by Thomas shortly thereafter due to strife betwwen him and Dave

[@kingkat8806]

Tom has been their from The Beganing he left for a little bit but was NEVER Replaced

[@richardaengberg]

Yep-ir!

[@Heddeharmonica]

Wow!!!!!

[@jansiedentopp7702]

Cool band

[@ChrisArmourMusic]

they're famous in the right circles i guess

[@Weimowner8]

Slapping da bass!

[@Jan_Christian_Gjems]

Mercy!

[@starchief59]

Anyone have the lyrics to this song? What does Daddy Yar mean? haha Love these guys though

[@pfordsq]

Down to the very last time I saw them , 4 or 5 years ago at Green Bay , they never failed. Some people called 'em R'n'B in the 80's , when they were about 10% R'n'B to 90 % RAB. It's true they got into Blues , more and more , when they were on Alligator , but ,when Tom rejoined , they commenced to rock like fuck.

[@0coincidences]

i don't quite think so... gatemouth says "that's your daddy yaddy yo" yo and yar are two words that were adapted (yo = rappers, yar = pirates) from yeah... "girl you think i'm crazy but that's just your dirty daddy yeah"

[@rocknroll56able]

Good band

[@theidey]

look at T slappin it man!!

[@squirrelnutcased]

great band! but.. what exactly is a daddy yar?

[@V8Deuce]

@Elesaar27 They aren't a blues band either. Its a clever blend of the both and jazz too.

[@aljustal6554]

The Paladins turn in an awesome performace---but Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown needs to get some credit here for the great song they are covering. Here' s Clarence's original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnSvg2R4bMd4osk

[@3117ss]

real deal

[@dunskie]

Anyone can tell me the bass players name? Thanks.

[@itaintmebabe714]

What guitar is he playing?
