Wow, I love this song and video. And the deep well socket he's using as a slide!

I recognize Broadway and 2nd Avenue, but don't recognize the other street shots.

How could I miss seeing that??? I played the video again, and you're absolutely right. I remember Rick saying he's used Sears Craftsman sockets for a slide

. In the recording of this song he probably used a more conventional slide, but for the video, the socket is the perfect touch

!

Great catch Homer !

Well I'll bet if he uses them live, he uses them in the studio. I mean, your slide of choice, is your slide of choice, right? I was just thinking of how much heavier they would be, than a traditional slide.

That's what the late Lowell George of Little Feat used to use...Sears Craftsman spark plug socket....tune the '69 hard-tail Strat to open "G", run the guitar signal through TWO MXR compressors and an MXR Phase 90 pedal into a Fender Twin Reverb.

Ok, capo that second fret, count off "Dixie Chicken" and we're good to GO!

"I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel...."

C'mon...everybody sing along....you know the words...

"I'llllllll be your Dixie Chicken, if you be my Tennessee Lamb...."

Thanks for adding that video, Viv. Quite a Vito-Time-Warp from the 1996 "Blues Town" vid to the 2008 "Blue Again" vid!

Around this board, I guess it's only me and SJPDG who are really into this band, but we're pretty outspoken about giving "Blue Again" -- both the CD and the DVD -- two hearty and enthusiastic 'thumbs up's'!

Go ahead, start with the CD......

And if you like the video Viv posted, go for the live DVD too! (Filmed at a different performance than the CD.)
