I bought the 45 of this in 1966. It was recorded live at the Whiskey a Go Go, and right at the end of the song some dude in the audience shouts "Do Batman Johnny...do Batman.!"
This cat looks amazingly great at the age of 80, my goodness, and what a showman since he was about 14 years old !! Great to see performers that are fine singers AND excell at their instruments.
OMG - so GREAT to see this, still performing and man oh man, he can still play that gee-tar! Don't know why, but several days ago I woke up from a dream and this song was in my head. I was shocked when I looked it up online and saw it was from 1966 - I was a sophomore in high school that year (now 72). Not sure if that dream that I don't remember had anything to do with waking up to the song in my head? Whatever. It's now on auto-track inside my head, LOL along with several other songs. "Del's a man who lives a life of danger, and everyone he meets he stays a stranger..." LOVE IT - and Johnny Rivers, so many wonderful hit songs.
He only wrote one of his hit songs--"The Poor Side of Town." I am not sure why that matters---it hasn't kept female singers or Motown artists out of the Hall--but Hall voters seem to have an issue with male solo artists who interpret others' tunes. Neither Joe Cocker nor Tom Jones is in the Hall.
un grande Johnny Rivers yo tengo 57 años y sigo escuchando su musica. El ya debe tener cerca de los 80 años , que alegria verlo todavia vivo y haciendo musica, gracias maestro JOHNNY RIVERS
que grande es escuchar este genio de la musica y comprobar que mantiene ese mismo timbre magico de voz a lo largo de los años recuerdo en un programa de mi pais Argentina ,llamado Badia y compañia ,invito a tocar a Johnny Rivers ,que canto John Lee Hooker,vaya temazo y un groso de la guitarra Pappo Napolitano le hizo los acompañamientos,todavia esta eso en youtube fue un momento magico,que termino con un abrazo de los dos artistas
It seems that retiring from something you've been doing since age 15 would be contradictory if it's a part of who you are and what you love. Honoring his essence. Only for himself does he owe and not to fans or family.
@@KC-mn2mk damn dude, get a hold of yourself….I was a huge fan of Rivers when I started playing guitar in the 60’s but I think at some point even the bests like McCartney needs to take stock of when the voice goes or you forget words or can’t play your guitar well anymore and bow out gracefully before more assholes like me make comments that trigger assholes like you… ya know..?
Johnny sounds fine. Good guitar and vocals. But that entire backing band needs to be fired immediately. No way Johnny should front those amateurs. Drummer especially awful.

Johnny's still performing and sounding fine at 80. I hope I'm still above ground at 80.
He truly is deserving of hall of fame
RRHF deserving JR ?
For example: David & Mark Knopfler will did Not attend 2018 ceremony

I had the good fortune to see Johnny live in Summer 1969…
He was great!

Johnny Rivers is great!
Thanks!
Rock on rock on. Still got it Big man.
From South Brasil we really enjoy this guy! He's great! Icon full!
Love this song
One of the all time greats!
Nope, middle tier.
@@bountyhunteratacka Nope, great.
Needs to be in the rock and roll hall of Fame 🎶🎸✌️❤️
why he is not in the rock and roll hall of fame is a mystery to me
Wait…he’s not? Is there no Justice in this world? He should be in the Hall just for this song!
It is because of a grudge that the head of Rolling Stone has with Johnny.
he should be, but unfortunately some are there and it's not rock and roll

Because he's a secret agent, MAN, secret... Agent Man.

Please come to Brazil! We will be crazy! You have many crazy fans here! We love you!!!!
Qué bueno saber que Johnny está vivo y activo, aún rockeando con su bello estilo musical!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊
Saw Johnny at Billy Bobs in Fort Worth twice in the early 2000’s. Sounded better back then,but it was 20 years ago. The music of my High School days.
When Johnny starts, the audience is instantly infected with joy. A musical phenomenon.
Still a big fan ❤❤
Still a 'Rock Star'~
LOVE IT!!!
Muito bom rever ouvir este Ícone mostro sagrado da MÚSICA AMERICANA APLAUSOS

Bravo in hes 80 s!!!!
He's 80! 🙌
Percebo um clima tenso entre os músicos da Banda. Claro, ao vivo é sempre complicado! Mas o Rivers é um grande nome da música pop!
A legend
Johnny Rivers meu eterno ídolo, imortal. Parabéns
He was such a good player.
Venha ao Brasil again🇧🇷🎶😊
Amo ❤
24rock on❤
always a stone fox. loved him since the early 60's.
One of Best Guitar licks in Rock n Roll
Só saudade,saudade............
Ouço desde meus 14 anos, amo imensamente, e vou ouvir sempre.
Jonny Rivers Live at the Whiskey A Go Go I played that 33 1/3 disc so much it scratched and skipped and static popped - but kept listening anyway
That's the patina of well-loved albums. It makes them sound even better!
wow
Estrela de quinta grandeza!!!
HEY HEY BIG MAN YOU GO BOY❤❤23 OK.
👍😎
Indeed he should be
Bom dentro das circunstancias do momento a apresentação foi Boa!!Rivers sempre reclamando da banda!!
Love Johnny, but the band needed rehearsal.
And the sound setup wasn't great, either.
Many names are mentioned as the best guitarist. They better ask this man before they decide.
😎👍
👏
Eeeaaa mi smocasines y mis jeans....y a patear Rock del bueno 😁🥳😲😯😜🇦🇷
Little problem with fills, TOO Loud? Johnny took care of that right away.

Too bad this was not professionally audio recorded ...
Should be in RR HOF, but that woke organization is too busy putting in non rockers!
Secret Asian Man
What is Johnny Rivers drunk high or just not very good anymore
Johnny is 80 years old, so what the heck would you expect? He still rocks for me!

They should’ve fired a sound guy!! The drummer was kinda off, too
I gotta dance every time I hear this!! Thank goodness my hips still move!! 😂❤

damn .... he's not happy with the band.
Hes good still but that band hes got sucks...especially the drummer. Listen to the cut from the whisky a go go live. No comparison
Horrible back up singers??!
