Thanks a lot Steb (and compliments for your avatar Shocked

)
I have not seen this marvel before.
The intro sounds a little like Something's Wrong With My Radio one (at less, the way Brian used to play it this years).

That one is actually from 1984, when Setzer performed at the Guitar Greats show. He also played Tear it Up with Dave Edmunds, Barbwire Fence & Ramblin' Man with Dickie Betts and... Johnny B Goode & Green Onions with all the guests (Johnny Winter, Link Wray...)

Steb74 thank you! That growl he's rockin' in this song is awesome...

Who's the bass player? Looks familiar.

Yes, that's what I was asking too. He looks like the bass player from The Knife Feels Like Justice (sorry I forgot his name) and he looks like a little Spazz too... An expert, quick !!

I'm pretty sure that's Kenny Aaronson, he's the one that's on the "Knife..."-album. I used to have (probably still do, but I don't know where...) a guitar mag with an ad for ESP basses, where Kenny was posing with his bass. And a huge quiff and sunglasses Cool

.

Edit:
I found an interview where he confirms that he's actually the guy:

KA: I played with Sammy Hagar, Michael Shrieve and Neil Schon in HSAS and that was fun. And after one of the shows one night in San Francisco, I went to catch one of the Stray Cats shows over at another club, and I had to meet Brian Setzer because I thought he was so great. And about a year to the day later, I backed Brian up on the MTV "Guitar Greats" special…that was incredible…We had Brian, David Gilmour, Steve Cropper, Dickie Betts, Tony Iommi, Lita Ford, Dave Edmunds…and it was at that show where Brian asked me to join his band for the "Knife Feels Like Justice" album and tour. That was a smokin’ band.

Then after Brian’s tour, I hooked up with Billy Idol and Steve Stevens for the "Whiplash Smile" tour with Tommy Price on drums. It was great, really an energetic band, Billy was in his prime.

It's weird but, in Wiki, his stuff with Brian seems forgotten...
