I had the honor of opening for John Hiatt in 1988 and also in 1993, in two different towns and two different bands (the local openers). Never actually met him, but the rooms were sold out and his show was great. First time I ever opened for a guy with an actual guitar tech and a whole arsenal of guitars.
This is a lovely groove and atmosphere. I wish they'd made a video when they cut the album version, Jim Keltner on drums, Ry Cooder rippin' some very tasty chicken pickin' licks. Did they ever do a version on the Tube? Love this song, never fails to pick me up.
It's funny that there is actually a pedal steel player in this performance... "One more heartfelt steel guitar chord Girl is gonna do me in..." They should have given the guy a solo! 😄
John Hiatt is a treasure, that not enough people have discovered.
Makes it look easy.
Mastery of the rhythm and lyrically beautiful
John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell, Steuart Smith and the amazing Carl Perkins - does it get any better?! ❤❤❤
I’ve seen John Hiatt perform five times but to see him with Carl Perkins, oh, man. Amazing.

You can tell John's energized by the presence of Rodney and Carl. This is classic! Thanks for posting this. MY FAVE HIATT SONG!

When Rodney Crowell and Carl Perkins are grabbing onto your groove and grinning ear to ear - you're groovy.

I saw a Cadillac with cowhorns yesterday
You're living the good life.
I saw a Cadillac with Maryland license plates on the island of Crete back in the 1980s. No cow horns, however....
SongWriters Showcase: Joe Ely, Lyle Lovette, John Hiatt and Guy Clark youtube 11:11 Haitt / Memphis, best performance (acoustic).
John reminds me of Steve Earle's son Justin Townes Earle - got personality.
Good to see Rodney and the guitar Smith as well.
memphisssssssssssssssssss

Love, absolutely love this. But who tied his necktie?
John Hiatt looks like Kramer from Seinfeld if he was played by Tommy Lee Jones
Looks like the Ryman Auditorium
