- The Fabulous Thunderbirds perform "Wrap It Up" live at the Farm Aid concert in Austin, Texas on July 4, 1986. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

That's a really good band live. Love these guy's for some great music.
Hell yeah, , I say this to my sister every Easter, and sometimes on thanksgiving and Christmas, only because I work nights, lol
Why didn't we hear about them when this song was made. I first heard about them maybe a year or so back. I can listen to this song over and over and over and never get tired of it.
Everyone heard about them, they were very popular. They didn't write this song. It's a Sam & Dave tune from the 60's, written by Porter and Hayes.
Because we were too young to be aware of it? Everybody was listening to alternative rock when I was in my 20s.
@@Gregor9043 Agreed. This song came out in '86 and it was everywhere.
Jimmie was famous first, and was known as the hottest guitarist in Texas when Stevie Ray was coming up. The T-Birds made some highly regarded blues albums in the early 80s, but it all seemed very low-budget. When Stevie Ray broke it open, a major label and major producer (dave edmunds) took a flyer. This and TUFF ENUFF were big hits in the mid 80s. SO was POWERFUL STUFF from the Cocktail soundtrck.
There is no hipper band than the T Birds, especially the first lineup.
Definitely one of their best songs! Thanks for posting.
One of the many great tunes by David Porter and Isaac Hayes
Actually, a classic written by Hayes and Porter, and first sung by Sam and Dave.
a great lead in can become immortal. This one of them
This was actually Farm Aid II, or the second year of Farm Aid. Was held at a horsetrack outside of Austin called Manor Downs. Brother Stevie performed at this one as well.
Was there it was 🔥🔥🔥
Sam & Dave Cover … nice job !!
Live from Austin Texas

Who knew that Andy Kaufman was the lead singer ? Wow he was such a talent.

2:17 Is that the Caveman from the "Even a caveman can do it" geico commercials?
Kim Wilson (during this time) had a hard to determine sex appeal. It vascillated between "Hell Yea" and "No Way". His macho bravado onstage was alluring and having seen him for years before TBirds went national I saw him get bous cous women at Antones. I can tell you definitely that he looked better on stage from the audience than standing next to him. Still, the pencil moustache and shades and poof of chest hair at the top of his shirt is what sexy is all about. I don't know. It'd be easier if he was Tom Selleck or something. Personality wise he was more charming than most people from California. Oh before I forget; he looks like a frog now. I'm only talking about then.
Wow. Not sure it makes sense responding to a post from 6 yrs ago but I will give it a try. I have always found Kim Wilson very alluring. I agree with you about that. Seen him at least 4 or 5 times in San Diego, Hampton Virginia, Florida. The one time I met him he was very gracious and patient as I was a nervous fan and he autographed my CD. I found him completely charming and love the way he moved onstage in 1980s, 90s and early 2000s. So smooth, so sexy. I appreciate your take on your experience in Texas. I wish I had been there!
Good to see Hillbilly Jim off to the right.
Fran the drummer must have thought they were doing Tuff Enuff when Kim counted them in
2:18 is that Big John Stud?
No. Hillbilly Jim.
Too short to be Big John Studd, but I wouldn't want to get on that guy's bad side either.
nobody playing the keys? 🧐
Jimmy Vaughan is a great blues guitarist just like older brother Stevie Ray
pretty sure Jimmy is older.
