[@AtomGee]

KZbin is a time machine and I go down the rabbit hole every night

[@bobbrown5951]

There was a DJ in Toronto who always said the best live show in the world was Wayne Cochran and the CC Riders at the El Mocambo Club. I got to see him there three times. That was in the 70's. I'll never forget it.

[@philbrown1474]

Wow what an interview Wayne Cochran was. His story is one of redemption and grace. RIP Wayne.

[@davecarroll8186]

I was there the night he threw the chair threw the Picture Window in 1964. Went there many times to see him,danced into the night with some of my friends. Great Times.

[@Joepopa12]

This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen.

[@richardfurlott4243]

I miss Dave talking to people like Wayne . Wayne was a rocker par excellence !

[@denorakuschel2473]

I knew Wayne well. Always kind, humorous and a gentleman. My girlfriends and I always traveled to The Treasure Island Hotel in Miami Beach to see him. . Love you, Nancy Sinatra

[@fjk77december13]

I saw him in the 60s on the Hollywood Palace and never forgot it.

[@mildredjoseph6185]

Must be having some great jam sessions with Elvis, James B, Otis R, Jackie W, Janice J and all the rest in Heaven. Wish I could sit in.

A fascinating revealing interview with dynamic singer Wayne Cochran by Dave Letterman ! Sincerely, Dan Hogan (former broadcaster & entertainment reporter)

[@hamhockdoc]

I was in the band in Muncie when he threw a chair out the window

[@joyhenley9999]

People still talk about that!

[@hamhockdoc]

I was in IT"and Them" at the peppermint lounge with Johnny Winter and met Wayne and went with him to Muncie.

Nothing like the Castaways Bowl in Calumet City, IL

[@thomasdonlin5456]

RIP Wayne Cochran

[@stevesatterwhite5141]

I got to know him after he became a preacher in Miami.

[@fredgarvin9262]

That drummer is BADASS!

[@jeffkahl]

Fred Garvin that’s Steve Jordan

[@plane_guy6051]

@@jeffkahl --------- Steve Jordan (born January 14, 1957) is an American musical director, producer, songwriter, and musician. During the 1970s and 1980s, he was a member of the bands for the television shows Saturday Night Live and Late Night with David Letterman. In the early 1980s, Jordan was a member of the band "Eye Witness", along with Anthony Jackson on bass, and Manolo Badrena on percussion. Since the mid 1980s, Jordan has also been a member of the X-Pensive Winos, the side project of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Jordan and Richards have been production and songwriting partners on many of Richards's solo works. In 2005, he became a member of the John Mayer Trio.[3] Jordan also formed the band "The Verbs", which he fronts, with his wife Meegan Voss.[4] On August 5, 2021, it was reported that Charlie Watts had elected to sit out the resumption of the US No Filter Tour due to a heart procedure surgery and that Jordan would temporarily replace him on drums.[5] Following Watts' death, he has played with the Stones both live and in studio.[6]

This is a good video of him playing kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5K0q6qtqZh7oJY

[@c3vids_shorts]

Great guy

[@nitemirror1]

crazy video

[@FranklinBabb-jl1nv]

Saw him twice at The Barn in Miami and have never been the same since

[@waynelynch3862]

WOW..This is so old that Paul had hair

[@pardwayne]

"Do you guys ever try blue jeans or jumpsuits, like Wayne Cochran and The CC Riders?" And this was 2 months after the death of Joliet Jake.

[@causticgrip8329]

He was 43 here.

[@CardinalEgan]

"This is a weird show, Man!"

[@Jemeneye7]

goin back to miami, goin back to my girl...

[@TheRMBASH]

Great vid, great performer! ...but the audio on this is crazy weird and hurts my brain. The left or right audio channel is 180 degrees out of phase. If you sum to mono left and right cancel each other out and you get almost no sound. ...need to invert the phase on one of them.

[@dongiller]

Sorry about that. This was an early upload, before I realized I could input the video into FinalCutPro, where I could mute one audio channel and move the other channel to the middle. When time permits, I’ll do that and re-up.

[@gir5o1]

check out the woman at 3:48 who is just NOT having any fun at all!

[@Lorenzo1950]

What is with the volume or lack of?

[@dongiller]

Sounds fine on this end. You're the first to have concerns with it.

[@cudaus1]

Would have sounded much better with the CC Riders backing him up.

[@1978garfield]

I never realized The World's Most Dangerous Band had a drummer other than Anton Fig and a guitar player other Sid McGuines.

[@dongiller]

McGinnis; Sid McGinnis. :) Yeah -- Hiram Bullock was the band's guitarist from 1982 until 1984. Paul then held auditions during the summer of '84, and Sid was awarded the chair. Steve Jordan was the band's drummer from 1982 until the spring of 1986, when he left, and Anton then took over. Hiram, Steve, and Will Lee, the bassist, was in a band with Cliff Carter, keyboardist, called the 24th Street Band, from 1978 until 1981. Paul produced their second LP in 1980. So the Late Night band was essentially the 24th Street Band, with Paul replacing Cliff.

[@michaelpowell7120]

Great. Finally gets a band

[@kckc6578]

That’s my uncle

[@hybridamerica]

He's like the last Christian.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Hardly any physical moves. I wonder if he ever did much of that when he was a young man.
