Aha, first time I've heard this since seeing him at the Rime. He's a master at holding the audience through lengthy solos.

Is it me or does it all go a bit Bhangra in the middle there?

I'd like to see anyone who thinks David Lindley can't play guitar sit down for a little one on one jam session with him. Most "players" couldn't keep up.

 I was at that show! There's no one like David Lindley!

Just saw David live in Edmonton a few weeks ago. He was bitchen.

Lots of jamming on obscure stringed instruments - just him, no band.

Played a couple of Warren Zevon tunes, (Vast Indifference of Heaven & Seminole Bingo) which made me happy.

Go see him!

Lindley's no Cajun, it's bon temps rouler, of course. Appreciate his attention, he has paid dues. Parroting something he likes, as did Strummer, lovingly. My Acadian relatives would appreciate the capitalization, thanks.

 
Boh. Comme tu veux - les Cajuns. Est-tu felice? Quel type de Français parlent les Cajuns? Ce n'est pas Français moderne. Je suis desolé pour mes erreurs linguistiques - je n' ai pas beaucoups de chances de parler le Français a Nottingham :(

Oh, geez - I have GOT to save up my pennies for that one!  Life is finite, and by golly, Jackson Browne/David Lindley is one show I want to see before I die. (I already got to see Warren Zevon, thank goodness.)  Love this song - some very nasty slide work goin' on...{#Dancingbanana_2}

No matter how down you get, no matter how far up everything looks...a little David Lindley, and all's right with the world.

Is this really how the cajuns spell "bons temps roulée"? And how on earth can a recording be an "official bootleg" - shurely shome oxymoron? The noun/verb 'bootleg' comes from smuggling days and the whole essence of bootlegging is illegality - see the Chambers definition.

David Lindley is one of the most under-rated, over-talented instrumentalists ever. I think he, Lindsey Buckingham, and Leo Kottke are three of my favorite eclectic guitarists.

I saw him ages ago backing up Jackson Brown and Lindleyvwas awesome!  BTW...Phoebe Snow opened for Jackson and she blew the roof off with a cover of Neil Young's "Down by The River".

Great show!

  glad to hear this... here's my upload attempts for David Lindley:

David Lindley & Hani Naser - Ain't No Way sorry 0/0 (0%) 224
David Lindley & Hani Naser - Way Out West In Kansas added 0/0 (0%) 224

One insta-sorry, one insta-add, I can't complain.  I love that guy, though.   He's so weird.
EDIT:  who knew my CD copy was worth $100 bucks... gee Bill...

 
  He's a lot of fun to see live.

I got "The Jimmy Hoffa Memorial Building Blues" added, but it hasn't been played in forever.
