[JeromeTurner5]

Heard this today on fm radio rolling down a river in canoe in Maine. Good times. Good memories.

[burford2006]

2:32 - 'Good Song'

...Correct.

[Bounce2Dat]

I was there!!!

[murrangurk]

Is that a ganjo? Outrageous.

[onemorebrando]

@murrangurk it's a guitar. six strings, but on a banjo.

[murrangurk]

@onemorebrando i know. i am disappoint.

[mahgeeetah]

as if i needed another reason to love him.

[Ucfspencer]

JIM JAMES EVERYBODY!

[serinedream]

I so dig this look for him. Short hair, keepin' the beard. I love you Jim James!

[A8erbox97]

borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrring. I could fart a more creative sound. I'm counting the SUV's behind him.

[cubbies4e]

I was there! One of my highlights of 2007 lolla, along with LCD and I'm From Barcelona

[AwesomeOpossum4]

just too cool.

[xandeko]

Parkinson?

Keep away from Crack people

[Timlin937]

6 String? What a Pussy

[thestarstheywhisper]

very nice cover :D

[raychard001]

he actually lists Kermit the Frog and Prince as some of music inspirations and he loves the muppets...when he first started singing he tried to sound like Kermit

[Ucfspencer]

@raychard001 is this true?

[northcountrydylan]

he does a good Kermit. or is it a good Henson?

[Phantomsbreath]

@northcountrydylan Both, really.

[neverthoughtyoud]

was the camera operator having a seizure?

[tbarton00]

He was probably zoomed in from far away - makes it touchy

[PrlJam27]

every time I watch this vid, I cant help but feel sorry for those people driving by in the background. They all had no idea how close they were to something so special.

[54spiritedwill54]

that is excellent

[PrlJam27]

definately a highlight of my lolla weekend.

[ludvik199t]

what is the name of the song???

[Taenessity]

Rainbow Connection

[70fury3]

Its part of the title of this video... Rainbow Connection...Kermit the frog made it famous.. You must be under 15yo,otherwise you would know that...

[tbarton00]

Rainbow Connection. It's from one of the Muppet movies, I think Manhattan - Kermit sings it.

[tooncrazy101]

@tbarton00 no, it's from The Muppet Movie, just wanted to clarify. ;]

[lladnarpro]

never mind the studio version, who's got the soundboard?

[baelacho]

hardly call that a banjo : / its a banjitar aka a banjo with six strings tuned the same as a guitar. but its a nice version anyway

[PJRock75]

Besides PJ's set...this was the highlight for me at this Lolla.

[padseenoodle]

One of the best songs ever written. Strange, isn't it?

[starberry79]

I love him! The first time I hear him I though "He kinda sounds like Kermit". Now we need Kermit to cover "Goin to Acapulco", like Jim did in I'm Not There.

[Shadow298]

an excellent version -despite all the background noise and comments.

one of my favourites songs and reminds me how much I love Kermit and all the Muppets.

love to hear a studio version done. :)

[bucknasty3000]

Unexpectedly....brought me to tears.

[johnqdriveway]

Great song. A studio version of this would be great.

[mwonnacott2000]

this song rocks you have to believe that

[Alybababernstein]

This is a great version of the song. I've been looking for one.

[notnd99]

繞樑三日

[ccchamoxa]

sounds a little like Kermit

[Aeiouley]

I minimized the window once I started it and i had to do a double-take because i thought it was the lil amphibian.

[thunderstrucknz]

Listening to this opens up my mind from the 80's. Thanks posting and thanks to Jim for keeping it real and releasing those childhood memories...... Kirmit the Frog Rocks!

[joshchuha]

good stuff, I remember like it was yesterday. Thanks.

[swhorfe]

I love this song...it

is great seeing someone performing it today; shows that there are so many other people who share this same memory from childhood. thanks for posting.

[Betherz247]

This was awesome! I was there too I got video of him singing the Chipmunk song!

[xxxxbluebearxxxx]

he kinda sounds like the frog in the muppet movie

[JiveMonkey]

i showed up 10 minutes early and got close hoping for jeff tweedy because the blisters were playing there, but i definetly wasnt dissapointed.

i left right after his performance, what did the wonderful mr. farrel have to say to the children?

[rainmanpdx]

perry was a great host for the stage. he rambled a bit until the next act appeared: patti smith! who played a few song. great afternoon all around!

[Betherz247]

you did see that Jeff Tweedy was there watching them on the right towards the back right?!

[nickpaauwe]

that is excellent

[JeromeTurner5]

Wondering if any one else caught this ;)

[hesterthe13th]
