Doug was a wonderful father. I worked with his daughter at Tom's Ribs in the 90's and she was a sweet, lady devoted to her entire family. He would come in to eat lunch with her and was the nicest man you can imagine. I was blessed to have the opportunity to mourn him at his funeral in 1999. He left a beautiful legacy. Rest in Peace, Doug....

That's right

Sadly one of the most under appreciated bands during the period 😪! A group of extraordinary talent and an excellent range of musical prowess and ability 👌

Augie Meyer wrote that song in 1964, Doug Sahm was a great singer and person. Never got the full respect he deserved! Rest In Piece Sir Doug of Sahm!!!!!

Helluva a nice guy. Met him once in Philadelphia. We opened for Waylon (refused to meet us), Willie Nelson ( great guy), Eddie Rabbitt (excellent), and others but this about DOUG SAHM, and he is 1 of the most under-rated artists in history! Miss him bunches!

Waylon did the same to my Uncle's band and the drummer of the band told Jennings to "fuck off" LOLOLOL. 1973, Houston Texas.

Great live version!

I saw him about a year before he died. he blew in one night at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar about 10:00, cowboy hat, leather duster, sunglasses and all. He still looked the same as he did in the mid 70's. He was a skinny little guy with an electric personality.

I remember seeing Doug and his band in around 67 or so on the Playboy show hosted by the originator of it. He played She's about a mover. I am sad to see gifted people like Doug along with many others leave the earth along with their talents. God Bless, Doug Salm. Amen. Robert Elder, Toronto, Canada.

Happy 82nd Birthday August Meyers - May 31, 1940. San Antonio, Texas Founding member of the Texas Tornados and the Sir Douglas Quintet. He's a Texas legend.. Many more "Augie"..

Love this song! Steve Earle's version of this is flipping amazing as well. Both boys rock!

Such a classic

I was only in my single digit years, yet I can easily remember when this was a hit and all over the radio. Good music will always be good music, no matter when it was popular. They broke the mold after Sir Doug. An immeasurable, powerful influence in music across multiple genres.

Hey...this song was heavy metal to us Texas kids back in the '60's...show some respect whippersnappers :-) This song and 96 tears are like a peanut butter and jelly sammich...

One of those fantastic '60's songs that just sticks in your head forever... like.Sam the Sham's Wooly Bully

this is one of those tunes that just fires on all 8 cylinders and has not had a misfire in 58 years , R.I.P. Mr Sahm

I remember finding the album that Doug did with Bob Dylan. I found 10 copies in a local music store. I purchased 3 copies and I had the manager put on the turntable one of my copies. He sold the other 7 copies within 10 minutes. Is anyone going to San Antoine, Cocaine blues. The Entire album is magic. There's something about the charm of Doug that remains even today. RC Thanks so much for this video

Definitely on our set list. Can't get enough of this song!!

Ladies and Gentlemen our good friend Dough Sahm

Doug Sahm and dancing Austin hippie chicks, it don't get any better than that !!

Love it! Sometimes keepin' things real simple is the best way to produce rock'n'roll. Like the way Augie Meyers just keeps playing that same organ riff over and over, even when Doug Sahm calls on him for a solo! Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Love ya, Doug, and still miss ya.

Liked your son's vid also cause he has a great taste his music Thank you dad!

Gets better every time I hear it!

Some of my family members live in or around Austin ,,,,what a most splendid place to visit ,,,,Every thing you want is within walking distance , its cultures are wonderful , its a complete utter playground ,,,,, i adore this guy hes specila lol from south yorks England ,,ps hopefully i will be in Austin in november ???

Nobody like Doug. So unique.

played bass with Doug in 1961 after Joey Long went another route. Doug taught us Luis Prima New Orleans Jass and we played a lot of his tunes. Just a Jigaloo, Oh Marie and others fit us well with Vernon on tenor sax and me on trombone. We had a blast. Doug was a super talent for all kinds of music!

I met Doug Sahm in San Antonio in '63 when he played at the Purple Onion --it was the hottest spot down by the river then--don't think he was "Sir" Doug yet. We had fun ... but I was so young, blonde and strung out then. Saw him again in Hollywood about 7 years later crossing Sunset in front of the Whisky but he wouldn't believe it was me because I was a redhead and making a movie. The last time I saw him he was playing at a club in Long Beach. After the show we sat outside and talked about the old days ... it was kinda hard to remember them ... but I could never forget Doug.

COOL STORY

He was an awesome singer and will always be one , my husband and myself fell in love with this song ( A Year Ago Today ) WOW he's come a long way , may he ( R. I. P. ) Gone but never Forgotten

Anyone out there go to the concert at Les Halles, Paris, 1981? I moved from Austin to Europe in '80 and was living in Paris with a fellow Tejano who'd been there for several years. He asked me what I missed most from Texas and after the usual reply of Shiner Bock, Trudi's after midnight (when the chef leaves and the vatos start to cook real food), etc. Doug Sahm came up. I sighed, looked up, and there was a poster for a Dough Sahm concert the next night! One of the best gigs he ever played, too!

Long live Doug and his music. Long live rock 'n roll!

My older brother sat in with Doug when on leave in '70. BTW....Augie played it with the extra note then.... RIP JOEY AND DOUG, and rock on AUGIE! Jan Chiodo Wilhelm six nation's NY. Myahoche no hatade. (No music brings wonder.)

He sold his band as an English Invasion band... The Sir Douglas Quintet... Fooled everybody. Playing Texas blues in English Revolutionary War uniforms... WTF??!!

What a fantastic performance! I've always loved this song since I first heard it on AM rock radio in about 65. I think it was songs like this at a young age that formed my preference for blues-based rock and folk music.

I'm a n American girl who will love Doug Sahm forever.

This song was the anthem of /for fiesta/rodeo &yearly carnival week in San Antonio,Texas ;back in late 60s/early 70s! Good times; Truly good times!

Doug and Augie, Two San Antonio east-side boys who absorbed that east-side soul along with a smattering of West-side soul. These boys had it and Augie is stilll kicking it.

It's beautiful, to see/hear these guys playing simplistically well. Augie Meyer on the organ - just the important notes, if you please. This is the one that got them on American Bandstand, redone later, with better sound/video. Live in Austin, like it oughtta be.

Aww, I'm so sorry he's gone. What a musician, what a performer! Thank you, LFAT, for letting us see this.

I met Doug Sahm one night sometime during the hippie period in Hollywood right after his first hit. We hung out at some kind or bar something similar exchanging stories. This guy is awesome and I wish I could meet him again!!! XO Baby!

I used to love this song when I was younger I used to love the song Mendocino too

Migod, the memories! When this song first came out I was in college in Southern California. One guy taped the record, made a whole pile of copies and spliced them end to end for about two hours of music. You can bet we grooved mightily, partying to this one!

I met Doug and the band backstage in Columbus GA. back about '65. Great band, very nice.

The greatest record of 1965!!!

i love him.... i can't get enough of him... God i wish he could come back and start over and give us more music

Doug Sahm is a fantastic artist and musician! Thanks for a great clip!

Certainly as good as it geets. Love Doug Saham. Keep it up.

I have his The Tracker on a single from the 60s. He was big in Sweden for a while. I heard this song on Radio Luxemburg in the mid 1960s. Probably 1965. It was still Music in those days.

Cannot beat this. What a combo. And that bass is just kickin' it with Doug. Thank you for posting this.

I saw Doug with the Texas Tornados at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis in the 90's - loved him since 65'

This clip absolutely ROCKS....

One of the best shows I ever went to was a Doug Sahm show.

For many years I thought this song went "bitta botta boo baa". Made perfect sense to me. "Wooly Booly"...."Bitta Botta Boo Baa". Both hits around the same time.

Sahm is alive in his music to this day.

GREAT!!! Man, I was not born when this song came out...but my dad worked in the music biz for a while...he has a DEMO cut of mendocino....We wore the friggin grooves off that plate when I was a teenager!

Never got to see him but this is a good live performance, rock on.

Doug was a great musician, a cooler than cool guy -- and one reason Texas is the music capital of the world. Miss ya, Doug. RIP

As unique and special as Leon. The highest compliment I can give.

Love this classic song, I remember this from my child hood over 30 yrs ago. My gramps use to play it on his 8 track tape on his 53' Dodge in the Hill country

Don't rush it says Doug!!! featuring my old roommate Harry Hess on guitar and Steel guitar..

I remember Doug from the early days,"KTSA",550 AM radio, with Ricky Ware & Bruce Hathaway, in San Antonio, Texas.

This is as cool as possible. I feel high just watching it!

If you play out, do yourself a favor and learn this song and make it swing and you'll get a crowd rocking, whether they know the song or not. And you can ring it out for as long as you want ( or people stop dancing).

Yeah, havin a few flashbacks right now. I saw the SDQ in NYC around 79-80. They jammed to 96 Tears. What a great feeling.
