Dwight Yoakam - Dim Lights, Thick Smoke Lyrics

Badass version.. love it

First time I heard this was New Riders of the Purple Sage, when I was into "hippie/Pyschedlic" music LOL I didn't realize the roots. Dwight does it good

Dwight doing his Thang in Sweden he sure gets around, So Awesome

So fun - watching Eugene with the audio turned off. Try it!

First heard this by New Riders of the Purple Sage!!! At the time, I thought it was hippie cool music. That was maybe 1970-something, on the album Powerglide. Damn. I didn't know I liked "country" LOL!!!!

my favorite bar

Dwight must have missed sound check, the band is way louder than him, and truly drowning him out.

Amoooooo 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

No one can ever replace Pete Anderson in playing with Dwight.

I like Dwight but Eugene is the man of the hour,keep on playing Eugene and enjoy yourself on stage like you do.

Llove the guitar player he makes this song great

Great Dwight, but you need to get a fiddler back in the band..... and Pete.🎸🎻

The best song ever written, Joe Maphis and Rose Lee Maphis...you can find the original on YouTube and their place in the Country Music Hall of Fame

Doesn't get better than this, one bunch of sexy men, dwight and Eugene.love them to the moon and back.

Sweet song

For you people who want to see more of the guitarist Eugene Jaramillo go to The Sloop John B. Dwight is showing his age but still sounds great.

Just love Dwight doing this song

Great tune Dwight! You guys ROCK!

He sure as hell knows who knows country music when he Quotes Buck Owens!!! Hee Hawwww!!!

OH OH GOSH!!LOOK AT HIM GO.WOW.

OH OH DARLIN.!!!

A memorable concert (I was there)!

That lead player is WAY TO TO LOUD!!!!!!.

that Lead Guitar man..is very good...Damn you have to have the thing in your hands every day!! or you forget what you have Learned!! but, I don't don't find that when I sit in with other Bands....yep!! that Lead Guitar is having to much fun!! it's great to play for people who are having a good time when your playing for a Crowed.there Kicking ass up there..damn them!! :)

WOW WHAT A TERRIFIC DRUMMER.

The entire band was extremely amazing. This is a display of serious talent.

Not the best of Dwight..guitar good but not what I want to see totally instead of Dwight.

Look at em just rockin What a blast

Beautiful great song love the band . LorraineG.

Honestly first heard this by New Riders Of The Purple Sage back in the late 60's or early 70's... I thought it was hippie rock. Then I went to Texas and discovered that most of the "acid rock" was really western/country inflenced. wow

TC Smith cow punk , hippie tonk

I agree that guy on guitar is kicking some ass

Great song!!!! Dwight is my favorite country artist! Love you Dwight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good guitar player but you notice... not once does he go near the mic set out for him.... wait til he gets his voice... bright prospect since he is young... all the best to him.... hope he keeps putting good rocking tunes....

great version!!! first heard this by New Riders of the Purple Sage, a kinda hippie band in the 60's. Before I realized most great music was country influenced LOL

wowwwww ....... so cool ..... I like all Dwight songs

Eugene is fantastic to listen too and watch- he is great❤️😊

Dwight is the best, love him💕💕💕💕

yeah!! met the man that wrote or co-wrote most of Dwight's hits. (this ain't one) Love this up tempo version of that classic hit! We'll add that to the playlist of the band NORTHWIND in Arizona!

LOVE this.

Love Dwight !!! But lead guitar man stole the show this time!

He had to, he was so loud he drowned Dwight out LOL

WAY TO LOUDDDDDD!!!!

Dwight is just Dwight without the band... why not share the wealth of talent... this one sure did it fer the lead!!! :)

Ty lots

He makes it look effortless. Country version of Malcom or Angus Young.

Great band!

Guitar player was rocking with 3 chords and the truth. Nice job.

Eugene edwards adds a look of fun .....good combo .....been a fan of DY since the 80's ...nicely done 😎😎😎

Great music, and amazing guitarist in Eugene.

LOL....reminded me of my uncle a long ways back.

Eugene Edwards.I loce his guitar playing. i don't even go to watch Dwight. just to see Eugene play expertly!!

This is glorious rock'n'roll. Hale. I nominate. Further, I nominate Malcolm Yelvington for Goodbye Marie.

Brian Schafer

Wooooooooooooooooooo................................

Who is the fellow playing with a white jacket and brown pants

Eugene Jaramillo...
He himself is a vocalist... But yeah..playing for Dwight would be an honour for anybody...

Love that lead guitarist he adds a lot to the band I love watching him and he is sooo!!! Cute

Great song

Eugene Edwards is so cool and a fantastic guitarist!

he is having a great time

You can tell they have a ball doing this song.

Bad day just got good :-)

Great.🎸🎶🎸 best band ever.

So happy when your boots are cooler than Dwight's.

Love Dwight!
Go the Mexican on lead!!

😆I met dwight yoakam twice

that wasn't Eddie Perez that played guitar with Dwight it was Eddie Shaver, Billy Joe's son, he overdosed on drugs Christmas morning in a motel room in nashville, then Pete Anderson took his place

Eddie Perez played with Dwight after Pete Anderson!

you get better with age.. Love it

Well finally got to see Dwight Yoakam at the O3 Arena Dublin last nite ,open the show with Dim Lights

Dwight Yoakam the real deal

Love the guitarist closest to camera ...having fun 😍😍🎸🎸 ..I am just loving it... Lol

Me, too!

Fun is why they do it. Thank a musician for our fun times.

Thanks for posting!

Prachtig toch

,dwightyoakam

My band started doing this song after I heard this. Awesome country.

+Gary Lively What Country?? That's 1950s era rock and roll!!!

Wonderful and gosh that guitarist is cute

That lead guitar player is dang good, and he's having such a good time, I think I want to be like him when I grow up !

I know! That black haired rascal stole the stage! I love Dwight but dang that kid brought it

Yeah... I know what you mean..
That"s what I noticed about Dwight's band members.. the original ones that included Pete Anderson, they shine brilliant too alongside Dwight, adding to the stage .....

Helda Cook Eugene Jaramillo

Eugene is awesome!

Great video and sound!! Thanks for sharing!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

dwight does a good job with this song and i like the cute guitar player. :)

FUCK YEAH.... Damn!!!

Oh yeah, hell yeah...

DAM  VERY  GOOD

Eugene Jaramillo i like this gitar  he play so cool

Yeah, the guitarist looks good but he isn't Pete or Eddie.  I've noticed that the "music" seems to be front and centre (even on Three Pears) rather than Dwight's voice.  Doesn't matter - I'll listen to everything and anything he does.  And, I could watch him forever!

Totally agree!  Still great stuff, though!

Yeah, I miss Pete's intros and outros, and Dwight's voice being front and center. But I'll never get enough of Dwight, no matter what.
Sure wish Dwight would do an autobiography, or commission someone to write a biography.

OMG!  I love watching the young guy playing guitar, sure looked like he was having a great time,  I just love it!  Dwight was and is one of my all time favorites.  Someone once said that Dwight "strides the divide between rock's lust and country's lament.....well, ain't that the truth!  Dwight is definitely one of a kind.  He gave his own unique sound to country and rock  to create beautiful music.  He stayed true to his music, played it his way and today we have that DWIGHT YOAKUM sound.  And his look; with the cowboy hat pulled low, the cowboy boots and those tight blue jeans -- Hell Yeah!  I mean, he sings and looks good all at the same time!  Purely provocative!

Saw him summer of 2013 in Altanta, still rockin'.  Great show, tours every two or three years it seems.

Nice cowboy boots he's wearing! I need to get a pair. This song is awesome.

Why is he not playing country music anymore? He played pure real country in the 80s...sell out.

@johnny991965  This is 100% Rock music, search for Hank Williams if you want to hear country music. Drums and Hardrock-guitars have nothing to do with country.

@1950sRockabilly This song was done by Vern Gosdin in the 80's.  Dwight spiced it up a little.  What do you think Rock a billy music is.  There's only two kinds of music good or bad.

Guitar player's name is Eugene Jaramillo from Arizona, but he goes by Eugene Edwards.  Hello from Amarillo, Texas!

Eugene is good . And a tall glass of water. He is handsome. Can play that🎸🎸

Amarillo is just down the road a piece from Lubbock. I swear West Texas made the best music ever

He's hotter than a Peterbilt running wild

Really like Eugene Jaramillo s playing and style. Damn, that looks like fun! Im going to start copying him when I perform.

Yup....Waylon and Willie.

Going to my special friend

For those who are wondering where Eddie Perez is, Eddie is now with The Mavericks.

Mistertbones hey! That's kinda sweet they're my number two after dwight haha

Eddie was the shit!

NO...Eddie Shaver was the man amongst men....

You best belive... This was a great gig!

If you think this kid on the guitar is a show stopper you obviously haven't seen Eddie Perez with Dwight. This kid is an awesome player, but Eddie added so much to Dwight's shows..

Damn good music

AWESOME guitar playing by the young guy. He is also so good looking. great show. seen them a couple weeks ago in concert. this guitar player stole the show. he is such a showman.

I love that Eugene Edwards is playing guitar for Dwight, He has a lot of great music out there on his own.

I am going to see Dwight and his band this weekend. I like Eddie, but the new guy is good too!

Bring Back Eddie Perez!!!

great song, i love the original too, Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (and LOUD, LOUD music) performed by Joe Maphis & wife Rose Lee, LIVE in 1959.

OK Eugene Edwards is the new guitar player. Not Eddie. He's doin' the Mavericks thing right now.
