- This is from a tour we all did in Europe together with Rickie, who is one of the best singer songwriters out there, in my humble opinion. The band was Michael Ruff (key/voc), Reggie McBride (bass), Arno Lucas (perc/voc). Artie Rodriguez (dr), Richard Elliot (sax) and myself (gtr), Jeff Pevar.
Thanks for all the great music, Rickie. We love you!
JP
wow Reggie looks gooooodd.
baddass back in the day.
nice to see this . we were a good sounding band. everybody given so much.
Ce show a eu lieu en Février 1983, au Casino de Paris. Cette vidéo provient du film de la TV française, présente pour enregistrer tout le show avec interview...
J'y étais....
le son était assuré par un copain ...Jean Luc LIAN, qui a depuis hélas...perdu les bandes son de ce grand moment !
J'y étais aussi! Quel souvenir....
j'ai écouté jusqu'à sa disparition la cassette enregistrée sur Inter (Loup-Garou et Feedback) en mono sur le radio cassette. je reconnaîtrais chaque accord entre mille. Quel bonheur de les retrouver... 37 ans après ...
@@brunop.904 Je viens de transférer sur CDR mon enregistrement stéréo sur cassette de l'époque (France Inter), d'une durée de 30' comprenant :
Young Blood (incomplet, manque grosso modo la 1ère minute)
Pirates (So Long Lonely Avenue)
My Funny Valentine [Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart]
I Won’t Dance [Jerome Kern, Dorothy Fields &Jimmy McHugh]
Weasel And The White Boys Cool
The Last Chance Texaco (incomplet, manque la fin).
Man, that chick is the personification of Cool!
damn i remember that !!! iwas there at casino de paris :-)
i was 15 then...
Great musiciens, greats songs !!!
thanks jeff !!
Awesome song/performance...great work on the Strat there Jeff!!! I could watch and listen to this all day....sooooo cooool!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Mr Pevar....she is the real deal and the band got ears on ears
Thanks for bringing me to Laura Nyro pnyc1969. I had not heard of her. What a voice and great songwriting. Always good to find kindered spirits on here.
Believe this is titled "Weasel and the white boys cool" from 1979 on her first album.
What a Lady! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
je ferme les yeux..... j'ai 18 ans......
Love this track. What a feel the band had. Was hanging to hear Richard Elliot's tenor solo straight after the guitar solo but seems to hv been edited out.
ooops. who did that?
JP I totally agree with you! I saw her at the Paramount in Seattle in like 1979. And her family was there! She is from Olympia, a town about 60 miles or so from Seattle (I am from Tacoma... T-town). Which meant it was one kickass show!! Oh! I can't convey how turned on, electric, passionate, oozing dynamic hipness, beautiful, center of the whole effin universe! she was that night! It was so sweet, she was like laughing and embarrassed almost, that her mama was seeing her be this famous, sultry singer star! It was too too cool!! I have seen in the 1970's the Grateful Dead, Santana, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Starship, among many, many others. And I can say that Rickie Lee's was one of the BEST shows I saw back then!
darkmaitri I'm a big Rickie Lee Jones lover, I've been playing her since I was 15 years old...
Rickie, indeed... I'm an LA teen, who grew up really too fast... Rickie unknowingly wrote about people I mixed with in the motel rooms and in the streets of LA. Much like her songs, but, that came from her own experiences, and oddly "WEST SIDE STORY"... She captivated me, and made me cry with her debut album and from then on... Rickie's an artist's artist!! She's genius, her musicality comes from a very deep place. I'm grateful to have caught the ride from 1979. When I first heard the single on the radio of "Chuck E's In Love", I said "Oh God, she was what was missing!" I'm 54 years old now. I really think the recording industry ripped her off.. I'm from the big City of Angels... Where every music buff owned at least the Debut and "Pirates", and then the diehards like me bought them all... Oh well.... Just felt like sharing. Her voice pierces with a beautiful cry in it. Then creeps in a window like an innapropriate voyeur, listening to a mother settling a child down with a lullaluby. Or a woman singing softly to her lover... The writing is so unique. We used to drive to Palm Springs CA and listen to "Flying Cowboys"... It was a perfect soundtrack. I saw her at the Wiltern Theater at the time of the "Flying Cowboys" album. A couple was entertaining a Chinese couple, on their two week business trip. They had only heard "Chuck E's In Love". And loved it from 10 years before, but nothing else from Rickie. Both, the Chinese husband and wife were in tears. They were blown away by Rickie's artistry. They were wiping the tears from their eyes, after her show completed, and they said, "How come her music isn't being played on American radio, it's so beautiful!!!" As if saying what is being played on American radio was sub-par. The 80's.... Me and my friends just looked at each other. Because we had once asked ourselves that question long ago...
@@mikebtko awesome share
Todd Rudgren in red lead.
He is Pevar? as well......
My god, you were all on fire that night! Is there any way I can get a high quality mp3 of this concert?
It's a shame that you could not fit Richard Elliot's sax solo on.
Totally infectious. The whole band cooks, RL sings like a horn player plays and Jeff Pevar completely blows up the solo. Great stuff still slaps decades later.
Fell in love with her when I saw her first album cover. Thanks for uploading this!
Dear Jeff. Beauiful playing ... sheer delight. What a fantastic experience for you. Rickie Lee Jones stands alone on so many levels. It's so frustrating how under acknowlede or even known, including song writers and musicians. I just don't get it. Who else is there of her stature as an artist in contemporary music?
Agreed.
What a fantastic band chemistry! It's seriously grooving and tight ! We don't see this quality work nowadays..... Thank you all for this moment in history!
What a find... Great great great great version of the weasel which we love so much. Excellent band. And brilliant guitar work of course. Chapeau, chapeau, chapeau!!! By the way since I bought the record decades ago I can't step onto beaches anymore without having peaches on my mind.
Been a fan of her's for over 20 years. Sometimes can't understand a word she's singin but she's got so much soul and surrounded by the hottest players in the biz, it's great.
When I tried to explain to my mother the music that did it for me- this back in the 80a, I played a cassette for her. She said 'She sounds like she has marbles in her mouth.' I just said 'Lucky marbles! ' She is an all time favorite.
Welcome to Coolsville
@ croeagle Can’t understand her partly cuz she’s so high.
Saw her at Humphreys By The Bay in San Diego. My mouth was open in awe but, for the first time in my life, I was speechless! She called my husband, "babydoll." She was the best entertainer! Have loved her since I first saw her on SNL when I was 17...40 yrs ago..yikes! Time flies

Yes, you said that.
@@mikebtko A great anecdote, and so beautifully expressed! I feel the same way about Rickie... ever since I heard her first song, and all the way through to 2019. There's a special place in my psyche that only Rickie's music can attune to. I hope you know she's got a new album coming out very soon, in 2019. Find her on Twitter... along with a sample of her daughter singing, too!
Wicked tasty guitar solo Mr. Pevar.
Pevar’s a badass isn’t he? Edit: Damn Jeff! I just realized this is your channel. I should say You are a badass sir! Love CPR!
Thanks so much for posting this. Just finished Rickie’s amazing autobiography - Last Chance Texaco. You guys are all amazing in this clip - : )
beautiful performance - you guys look like you were really having a ball..what a night that must have been.
Saw your concert in London on the same tour...Rickie is absolutely incredible...love her!!!
Jeff, thanks for posting these amazing clips! I love them! Awesome playing, great band!
the date is wrong on this. its 1982 or 1983. This is recorded before the Magazine so before 1984. .during the Pirates tour time.. and...
no drugs!?
Rickie Lee Jones took drugs for three years, and thats it. And.. she never took drugs on stage. Performances were sacred to her even there. This tour she was seen drinking on stage.
Sometime early 80's Rickie came into a lower East side NY bar 1 or 2 in the morning that had a mic and a stage where I was. Everyone got real excited when her escort was talking to the owner and Rickie made her way to the mic. She couldn't make it through her second song before she was yanked. Wish that wasn't my memory of Rickie.
Can the whole show be posted
I’m floored
This tune is simply a work of genius. Fabulous guitar work Mr Pevar.
Thank you!
Fierce Musicality & Hipness... Thy Name is : Rickie Lee Jones
Excellently, Excellent, Jeff! -Rickie Lee, for me, has always been a composer's benchmark -You all are, clearly, in the creative zone, as you impart some brilliantly fab uniqueness -By the by, I've enjoyed your work for a number of years now -One of my fave guitar dudes who always chooses substance over style -Thanks, ever-so, my Friend...
I remember this, Jeff Pevar, so glad the sound on the reccording is so good!~What a show!~with Rickie's lovely voice!!~This is wonderful!!~ thank you!!! ~ Pip x
I love this womans music. I have from the very first moment I heard her. She's obviously having a great time playing in this video. You can see it in her eyes!
Jeff, thank you so, so, much for posting this and the vid of Last Chance Texaco!!! I hope you have more and will post. I fell in love with Rickie Lee's music many years ago. I saw her in 1982 at a little venue near the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. She and the band were amazing. She strutted out onstage so cool and sang her heart out just like I knew she would. Please let us know if you discover anything else!
Great guitar solo! I saw you i Tivoli Copenhagen that summer. Fantastic concert, but also a little strange - Rickie Lee Jones arrived late and a bit drunk/doped on stage, and the drum kit fell apart. Since then I have enjoyed a lot of concerts with Rickie Lee Jones and especially Michael Ruff in Denmark.
I Love this clip, thank you Jeff. the Whole Band is Cookin. Is there More of this show on here?
Jeff, just amazing, real nice solo! thanks so much for this treat. Been a Rickie Lee fan since her '79 debut, now I'm a Jeff Pevar fan!
talking about Mr Sal Bernardi... another great guitar and harp player!!
great great song... bravo!!
When I heard Rickie sing Gravity, it blew me Away.
Love your songs Ricky lee jones you are who inspired me to become a singer
What a groove! Awesome playing, there must have been some amazing gigs. Thanks for the post
Later on (a little bit ;-) You're right JP, Rickie we still love you, many years after this shot...
My friend and I saw her in Newark Ohio last October. Amazing performance! I was working as a manager in a grocery store and heard Satellites and the Real End thinking, who is this? The same friend at Lowe's heard the same songs and wondered about the artist. The Real End came on one day and I stood on a chair in the office to stick my ear to the speaker to get some words to google. The words were "make him some catfish, fry it up in bed." Thus we discovered Rickie Lee Jones in 2003.
Jeff Pevar on guitar.. oh yeah.. :)
I love Rickie Lee!
And I'm glad 80's hair styles are a thing of the past!
Saw her at Humphreys By The Bay in San Diego. My mouth was open in awe but, for the first time in my life, I was speechless! She called my husband, "babydoll." She was the best entertainer! Have loved her since I first saw her on SNL when I was 17...40 yrs ago..yikes! Time flies
Thanks for the upload, captures her groove perfectly
this video just made my night. thanks for posting and GREAT vibes and playing...
Incredible journey and her music soundtrack to some of the most impactful memories...
As a bluegrass musician and part time at a Hotel, she's staying at my hotel. Thought I'd listen to her stuff, amazing to say the least. You guys are great, control like no other! Love it
This is one of the best things I've ever seen! What a band! One of my favorite songs!

You are great music value beautiful sounds like mountain s winds
Can a band be tight and play loose at the same time? Apparently.
Communication!
class
Listen Jeff, you guys need to get together and do this again man. This is just amazing.
I had the pleasure to watch you perform at the Montreaux Jazz Festival back in those years!!!
What a treat!!
I have a crush on Peev...... and the drummer, and the bass player, and the keyboard player, and the sax player. Dream band, baby
...Regarding this performance, "It's as good as it gets." Thanks for posting it.
Cheers,
Andrew
I saw this tour in Melbourne in '84. I remember that Rickie seemed to be having an off night- she was complaining bout Art being too loud, as I recall. Nonetheless, One of my fav artists of all time, and a great band and performance in this clip.
Great guitar, man!
She looks like Stevie Nicks and Carly Simon
Art Rodriguez on Drums Uooooowwwww !!! Thiago from Brazil !!!
Jeff-- I wish the audio quality were a bit better, but this is among the best live performances I've ever witnessed. IMO, Rickie is an underappreciated poet, and the band does a great job of underscoring her with SOUL. I'm forwarding this link to all of my music appreciating friends.
Great playing on this one, Jeff. I played this album to death in 1979, and then (if memory serves) watched Rickie Lee accept the Grammy award for best new artist from none other than legendary comedian George Burns and singer Debbie Harry at the Feb. 1980 telecast.
JP... Your guitar playing is awesome here (as you know!).... great performance altogether. It must have been a fantastic show. The audience was so lucky to have been there to witness all this.
Absolute treasure, indeed.
I was at this concert, having met Rickie's music some four years earlier. And boy... how my cassette got tortured in the player, think I listened to it until it gave up by having the tape looping around capstan and pulleys !!!
Then came the opportunity of a (finally !!!) live concert. Grabbed my sparse cash, did some hitch-hiking or train ride (can't remember) and made it to Paris... after all these years away from the capital. I got hypnotized from note n°1, couldn't let go til the concert's end. Only to come out of the place in tears.
You've been a lucky man (and that's no accident, you deserve it [I'm a stage performer too by now]) Mr. Pevar to go along with her.
If ever possible, tell her how much that little French guy loves her... and he couldn't make it to Enghien last July (out of surgery), so... he's hoping for another chance.
PS : I also attended her live performance at the Bobino theatre in Paris (2009, 2010 ?), great gig and outstanding music, awful sound from console/FOH... making for hilarious moments !
C'est comme je l'entend, ... Merc bien, ... mes respects m'dame.
Good stuff Jeff! Happy Birthday Rickie! Now when are you going to play with Scott Murawski again?!? Damn it! :)~
Josef Antinucci hey joe
It’s Gary Backstrom. Just saw you in coment
Love this stuff
Cool to see you here
@@garybackstrom183 Hey Gary! :)
hopefully soon!
Amazing video.
Could somebody please re-post Rickie singing 'Dat Dere' live. It was taken down some time ago.I really miss it.The best version of all time!
Hey i know you from saterday nightlive with leadguitarist from Hall and oates, sammy figueroa
That was a great performance with the song Satelites and the ghetto.
thank you! Yes guilty as charged!
So sweet, in all ways a performance can be. Smoking players. Thanks to Peev for posting this.
The band was so tight.
she pissed off jeff porcaro during the recording of her second album .. jeff felt she disrespected him ..😅😮
guitar man got game
Sounds great Jeff-and I love/remember/probably still have somewhere the skinny tie.
KM
Excellent band. Really fine groove on this piece, & Rickie sounds like she is singing in a state of arousal. Like this a lot.
Rickie's great song writing, great voice, stage presence and a fantastic band. What more do you need?
Much love and blessings to you all and especially JP who I have yet to meet but can't thank enough for his artistry. That he was "instrumental" in the success of CPR and that auspicious reunion still resonates as one extraordinary twist of fate.
Thank you sir!
Wonderful!! Thank you!!
I will love this for ever, Rickie, and her band just makes ya feel good, fantastic Thanks for the great music, love to you all
All this is saying to me is that she likes the sound of her own voice. I feel Tom Waits pain sometimes .
wow!! Thank You!
Always wanted to look like her..cause i sure cannot sing. Great video..Rickie such a gift.
the Peev in full effect! Amazing band holy smokes!
Thanks Jeff.
Was there a Live DVD of this concert?
there must be a bootleg somewhere...it was shown on TV back in the day
Rickie Lee was beyond cool...umm...wait that would make her cold...which she isn't....okay she is ultra-cool...I really have to get off the temperture thing...
Ahhhhhhhh real música!
At last a good live performance from Rickie!! Thanks for posting it. Great stuff! A Great singer and song writer her first two albums are magic!
Jeff! Thanks SO much for posting RLJ. Please post more if you have it!! Great playing man.
Thank you @Sherrylynn70 for sharing a great video !!
Fantastic!
One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Kept a VHS recording.
One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Kept a VHS recording.
So frickin' brillint
great band!!!!!
pour la date, je dirais 1979 plutot que 1985
In the first image, she is so wasted. Then, when she’s singing, she’s high-yi-yi, whew!
Many of these artists who toured with her also did studio work for Stevie Wonder.
And many others
:)
Jeff, you rock!
keep the revolution going!!
Wow - Jeff - you got to play with Rickie Lee Jones AND David Crosby!!! You got some good karma dude! (and I'm sure you earnt it all)
the real deal
