Hawks left in 1964 to emerge as The Band did several numbers by themselves starting with The Band s The Shape I In with Terry Danko Rick s younger brother by four years playmg bass and lead vocals Terry look or sound too much like his brother but he is extremely talented in his own right Hawkins opened with Am t that Just Like a Woman making it clear that he was there to play for the crowd We play three styles fast slow and medium Throughout the night he took re quests from dancers flattering the women and insulting their part J don know what a pretty thing like that is doing with you why you re ugly enough to be a Rolling Stone The crowd loved it He exhorted everyone to drink The more you drink the better I look and girls sometimes you got drink a lot Hawk sang most of his hits in eluding Odessa Ruby Baby Sick and Tired Forty Days Living the Life I Can t Afford Baby Jean Back to Louisiana Mama Come Home and the wonderful Down in the Alley a blues tune he dedicated to John Lennon who loved the single and helped promote it back in 70 He also did a Chuck Berry medley as well some Muddy Waters tunes Although it was a terrific show the real performance went on backstage with the Hawk spinning his tales and doing what he does best flirting flattering and mak outrageous comments Ronnie turned this month and calls himself The Geritol Gypsy His fans don t seem to think he s aged Most of the audience made their way up to the dressing room during the break and after the show to meet the man get his autograph tell him how excited ihey were to meet him One woman looked
