Gotta Keep The Devil... Way Down In The Hole!

[TakeMeThroughTheSand]

Anyone know what venue this is?

[justpassnthru]

@TakeMeThroughTheSand This venue was Charlie Mopp's located in Sandy Springs, Georgia. It closed down a few years back. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[MegaBmj]

haha..this is versus of original russian-gipsy song "drove in troika with bells".

[jazzopedia]

Snag your own copy of this at iTunes. Just do a search for Gato Mahdi and you will pull it up..

[ThatScrubKid]

I'm here because of the wire

[IDF1987]

Amazing song

[klined]

Real music right here

[webstercat]

Blind Boys of Alabama also do a smoking cover of this song. They also do Jesus gonna be here soon.

Jesus is real, and his promised are true!

[lperigrin]

These guys were @ M & A's for 10 years...I love this band!

[webstercat]

League of Decency? Tommy you don't remember me but I live in Atlanta 80 to 93. I use to play drums over at Willies. At one time you didn't care for Waits. Billy Barton

[webstercat]

Tommy Dean is that you?

[scottblanks]

Sounds good. I remember Swami doing Teenage Waste Land back when we used to see them at Mike N Angelos. Would love to see a video of that put up. Thanks for posting this.

[justpassnthru]

I had to bow my head and remove my hat when you mentioned M & A's. Those were the BEST ol' days! There could never be another place like that one.

"I'll sleep when I'm dead!"

[arcelsxxx]

some of my faveorite bands are out of atlanta.  and im glad i stumbled on this. i was actually digging around in steve earle videos. keep it up guys

[justpassnthru]

So glad you found this video! Be sure and check out the other Atlanta bands... Thermos Greenwood and Swimming Pool Q's hidden amongst my other random stuff. I am going to check out Steve Earle's vids right now! :^)

[autinspare]

love your voice. Nice - as the man said, "tasteful" arrangement - two solos in a row at the start is padding it out a bit too soon- you should do the keyboard bit later. The crowd were a bunch of noisy buggers.

[justpassnthru]

Yeah, the noise level is one of the drawbacks of playing to a room full of half drunk people... but it beats playing to an empty room! ;^)

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your constructive criticism.

[audionautix]

top notch. Always good to watch and listen to seasoned people doing their thing. I played in hotel bar bands for years on the road so I've been there. You guys sound like you've been together for a while. You guys are tasteful too, nobody's overplaying. I'll be back.

[justpassnthru]

Yo Jason! The Swami appreciates you stopping by and showing some love! Peace 2 U ;^)

[accdron]

Kick ass great. You guys did Tom justice. Would have loved to rip along with my accordion on this version!

[justpassnthru]

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! If you are ever in Atlanta, stop on by and sit in on a set with your squeezebox :^)

[nettle64]

[RolloffDeBunk]

You guys were bitchin' - very well done thank you! RdB

[justpassnthru]

Oh no, Thank YOU! for leaving your complimentary comment :^)

[morrisshaw]

still trying to find the best version of this song, need to make allowance for this being live and it is way better than tom waits own versions that i've heard, this song is modern day hoochie coochie man, meaning that everyone needs to do it and each has its own twist . as snoop would say, you nailed that song like a motherf***er!!!

[justpassnthru]

Cool! Thanks man, glad you enjoyed.

[ThatWhalingBand]

You guys are great........really do this song justice......keep on keepin' on!!!!!

[justpassnthru]

Thanks for the comment & the compliment :^)

Rare is a performance that really moves you from the inside out! You guys nailed it !

[justpassnthru]

Thanks Steve for taking the time to comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed this performance :^)

[davidxxx42]

Give us more,where you been ? on Myspace ,LOL

[justpassnthru]

The MySpace addiction has had a hold on me! It's so much easier and quicker than YouTube. However, I am slowly weening myself and I'm getting on with my original addiction...YouTube!

[justpassnthru]

Oh wow! Look ladies and gentlemen! It's the FAMOUS DaleATL2 leaving a totally random and unsolicited comment! *wink,wink...nudge,nudge*

(and about that "funkay" feeling this video gives you... sorry man, I can send you some powder and ointment that should clear that right up!)

[MightyTiny]

Yeah!

The best of the trio of Waits covers, methinks! Favorited. :)

[justpassnthru]

Thanks M.T. for watching and commenting! Music videos are not a big seller on YouTube, so every comment is important. I'm proud that you enjoyed this one :^)

[Minniver]

I really enjoyed this! Of course, I'm a big Tom Waits fan :)
