"Hell No, I Ain't Happy" on the Late Late Show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DFU9wKhnBk

i think they played on conan for tds. never gonna change, maybe. jason had on a patchwork, denim leisure coat and shades, i believe.

i might be making all that shit up.

i love that conan appearance with two daughters.

There used to be a link on the home page to a Never Gonna Change Clip from some 500 news segment i think

Played "Hell No I Ain't Happy" on Craig Kilborn and "Never Gonna Change" & "Carl Perkins' Cadillac" on some local morning show on Atlanta's Fox affiliate (I think). They also played a whole hour or so on some German TV show, I used to have a DVD of that, but I have no clue where it is now.

Can somebody please explain to me what the hell is going on with Shonna's bass sound? They've become unlistenable to me live because of it. It's distracting to the point that I can't hear the band as a unit. Am I the only one hearing it? It's heartbreaking to me because I used to love the chemistry between Shonna and Brad so much. There are countless posts from me on the old board waxing poetic about how phenomenal those two sounded together. At one point in '06 I think I referred to them as my favorite rhythm section in rock and roll. Listen to the Fallon Birthday Boy...that bomp-bomp thing she does all the way through would be okay, but with that tone it makes it sound horribly flappy and uneven to me. Especially on the low end. There's no fluidity to it at all. Wtf? Somebody help me out here. I love Shonna and up until this recent stretch I've always loved her playing. I don't get it at all.

I just watched this again and had forgotten how awful it was. I couldn't get past 20 seconds. You really love it, huh?
Aftermath USA was good on Conan...it would be nice to find that.

The first 30 seconds or so are rough. Patterson's guitar is out of tune, and his vocals, well... I love his voice, but it wasn't made for one-off TV appearances. He needs 3-4 songs to get warmed up. I think it comes together by the end, but all in all kind of a wasted opportunity. They should've just played A Ghost to Most. If you've got 4 minutes to win over a TV audience, Cooley's the man for the job.

Duke pretty much nailed it. The guitar sounds out of tune, and Patterson's voice really sounds rough. I love the song but it just is not a great performance, in my opinion.

I just uploaded a very bad quality copy of them doing Hell No on the Late Late show.

Nice! I haven't seen that one. Thanks for uploading it.

wow gerg! Is this something you've picked up on live as well?

TV sounds blows to begin with, so I wouldn't hold that against her....

I feel like her bass is mixed really, really low live, and isn't terribly present on the albums either

I didn't notice it at the Freebird the last time they were there, but did notice it at the the Jack Daniels Music Farm show. But the sound at that show was rough all the way around.

I love Shonna...for real. Of course, I have nothing but love for her. Listen to the Birthday Boy from Fallon or the Ghost to Most from ACL. Those are perfect examples of what I'm talking about. I'm shocked I'm the first one to bring it up. It almost sounds like the volume is too much for the amp and the speaker cone is fluttering. Obviously, that's not the case but that's close to describing the sound I'm talking about.

You ain't the first, I remember a whole thread dedicated to her shitty bass sound a few months ago

*bump*

added "Everybody Needs Love" on Fallon to the first post.

Still looking for video of "Aftermath USA" and "Never Gonna Change" on Conan.

Get Downtown live XM studios

Edit: I just realized this is radio and not television. I'll leave it cause it kicks so much ass.

I have Aftermath on a DVD somewhere at home. I"ll try to dig it out this weekend and post if no one beats me to it.

The home page used to have a link to a performance of Never Gonna Change from some Atlanta morning TV show

I'll allow it because it does indeed kick a lot of ass. I love when the woman in the hallway walks over to watch Jay play that solo.

jh13, that would be awesome if you could dig up that Aftermath clip. I've never seen it, and I'm sure lots of others haven't either.

Oops. Board has been running like a dog lately. Must've clicked a few too many times.

"Never Gonna Change" on Conan finally showed up on Youtube. Good stuff.

nice memory, dime. lol

I saw in a earlier post it was mentioned about a German tv show dvd.That was them playing Rockpalast 2003 on German tv in December of that year.I have found a couple of the songs on youtube from that show, but i have looked all over the internet but i can not find the whole show.I was just wondering if anybody could help me find this show since it was one of Earl Hicks last shows with the Truckers,i would really appreciate it!

Love Aftermath U.S.A. and the playing was great but man...Patterson sounded rough.
