The Nighthawks Live At The Bayou, New Years Eve 1981


I Can't believe it took me this long to get this open reel tape ripped to my hard drive. From the Bayou, in Washington, DC it's The Nighthawks live, New Years Eve 1981, broadcast live on WAVA 105.1 FM. This bad boy rock-n-rolls! Jimmy Thackery was still with the band. Sound quality is excellent. Hard to believe it is 27 years old! Tape starts abruptly in the middle of the 1st show and ends abruptly early into the second show. Oh well, stuff happens.

    Saw the Nighthawks in Chicago last year. They changed the date at Fitzgerald so it was before a crowd of about 12. Didn't matter though. More room for us. Your website is the best.

    ...this ain't all that ...kinda stupid and boring...the band races through everything...then when they finally slow down to play some blues they sound like a bunch of douche bags playing without any passion or commitment...i guess you had to be stoned..drunk..stupid..a friend of the band or band management..to be liking this cause this is lame...i remember now why i never bought any of this band's music...too bad cause Jimmy Thackery usually kills on guitar...

    I was at the second show of this concert. I memory serves me, Cerphe was the emcee for the show. I also had a recording from the WAVA simulcast on cassette that I listened to for years until the tape snapped. Man, am I glad to find a copy again. Thanks.
