I feel the same as you do.....but don't count on the next generation of spoiled fucking brats to give a shit about anything of value.They couldn't get their faces out of the cell phone to avoid a bus running them down.
I listen to Puccini, Wagner, Vivaldi, Beethoven, et al. Then I listen to Dan. I love him and those hot licks. I cry as I listen to the heavenly beauty of opera, then I smile so hard my face almost cracks as I watch these magnificent performers fill my heart with the joy of life.
And what's the prize of musicians who know their instruments and play with both skill and intuition? It's prizeless... It's art! I'll forever love Dan Hicks, and always regard in high value of professionals who played with him. You've given me unforgettable travels in musical dimension of existance. Thank You.
True story. It was 1992. I was in my senior year in college. I went over to my old roommate's apartment in Boston. We were hanging out drinking, and just smoked a bong. He left the room, so I'm sitting there by myself. I was flipping channels on TV and saw Austin City Limits was on. I had never heard of Dan Hicks. This was on, so I started watching it. I was completely blown away. In all transparency, I was a huge Tom Waits fan, so this this type of quirky Americana was not totally new to me. However, I was transported to another time and another place. After 10 mins, my roommate came back and I said, "I just saw the most fucking amazing thing ever on TV..."
Dan Hicks and the coolest band ever, the Hot Licks, I loved this music and was destroyed when i learned he had left us. He had to be one of the coolest men in music. He will live on in his music, like so many others, we are so lucky to have quality recordings of their genius.
A class act. In the Charlatans in the late 60s but got real good when he formed this real cool retro sound. I saw him at small club in San Mateo in 1971. Intimate and great show
Saw him on Johnny Carson mid to late sixties…opened my eyes up to cool folky music…always imagined the girl serving up the ice cream,fell in love with her. I was about 10 or 12 then.
I went to Flagstaff Arizona when I was ateen to spend the summer with my sister in a hippy house they rented, and her roommate Gerbert always played this guy.And I thought him corny till I listened to him after drinking some peyote tea.
i got a note from Dan written on a bar nap. it was an excuse note to my soon to be ex-wife... "HERES TO YOU "dan. i was such a jerk. he also did a photo in front of one of my art-cars. kinda like a used car salesman... he was SO funny !!!....this improved my mood in 2020....THANK YOU !!!....bob
thank you so much for posting this . my folks were rabid Dan Hicks fans from the get go. how does that plain looking man make such pretty guitar music?
You couldn't get much cooler than Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks. Never be another like 'em
Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen
this program on PBS in 1989 introduced me to the wonderful/timeless/one of a kind Dan Hicks...I have loved the absolute shit out of this ever since
Please young generation please don't let let this wonderful music die. Us older Dan fans are thinning out. Dan fan sense 73.
No way mate

That was great! I love when Naomi Ruth Page played the fiddle back in the '70s.
Dan and his hot licks hitting their marks was about as good as it gets. RIP pal
Saw him live 6 times- wish I could have had 6 more!
Love it! How did I miss Dan in the 70's?

dan hicks a true legend and so sorry to see him pass over.
He's out there with my Mom and Dad waiting for us.
I wish I had had the chance to see him in concert. Anna Paakki, I agree with every word you wrote.

I had 1 album of them in high school. Wish I had listened more carefully. Damn, what an artist
Always loved this band!
That is a damn good song
Used to see in Riverside they can't be replaced
I'd love to have a DVD of this.

Simply the best....

When you look up "swing" in any online dictionary it should link right here. Sid and John trading riffs is just freakin' exquisitie.
What a real pleasure to listen to.
The way the world is supposed to be.
RIP Dan. We miss you.
Tribute to one if the understated best; long live the Brothers Blue Review.
