Steve Goodman -- Vegematic [Live]

[844jimthompson]

Steve-All the best because you were the best

[sfperkins36]

This man was a genius.  Even though he knew he was dying, he still kept his sense of humor

[909chuck]

Days we shall not see again with an incredible music scene, pop, folk, blues, jazz AND Second City stars. I could list them all, but memory and space limits this to a single phrase, CHICAGO 1964-'74, OUR talent invasion!

[mlnrg]

[adequateautocrat]

it seems that somebody missed the like button.

[radiopete]

Along with the hysterical lyrics, pay attention to Stevie's guitar prowess. The guy could bring the words but also the licks.... his days at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago were well worth the time.

I miss Stevie.....

[louswire]

I saw him the year before he died... he was warming up for ... I can't remember who... he had the audience in the palm of his hand before the end of his second song...

[ygolfpro]

Steve and John Prine were great togeather

[TreeGuy1227]

Saw Steve at the Chestnut Cabaret in Philly less than a year before he left us.Helluva performance that was memorable for reasons other than his great music.

[irishmary24]

Still makes me laugh! Thanks for posting! I sure miss Steve Goodman!

[PampersPete]

Great song! :-D Back in March when I visited my parents in Wisconsin we listened to their SG double cd while driving to the casino. Brings back ALOT of great Chicago memories with my grandmother when I was a little kid.

[ingscram]

Thank you Steve, you have never left us and never will

[benjamingriggs]

Miss you Steve---glad that youtube came about so that many, many more people can be touched by you---you live in our hearts, and we miss you brother man!

[joeyparis]

How sweet it was! Saw Steve for the last time in Dallas Texas after he announced he had cancer. didn't miss a note. Thanks to all who posted vids of this great storyteller and flatpicker. Now I'm off to pick out some ole Goodman tunes myself

[SwampFrogBlues]

RIP Steve Goodman... one of folk music's greats.

[pandorasun6]

Wow! I taped this off the radio in '87 (during middle school) and never heard it anywhere else since! I didn't even know it was Steve Goodman--it all makes sooo much sense now :)

[Feldie22]

What a great guy & wonderful talent.

[mrhipsterdoofus]

It's also on the 'Affordable Art' album.

[JustPlainDB]

This came off a double CD one live, one studio which is something every music lover should buy immediately. No Big Surprise Steve Goodman Anthology

[DanteSitwell]

too good!

[mrsuavelukez12]

The Man With The Golden Tune, Steve Goodman!!!

[slxstrlng]

thx for sharing bro...nice tune

[kiaweking]

Gone but not forgotten! Steve raised the bar for all humorists that sling a guitar.

aloha from Hawaii,

Thomas

[Twirretwarre]

Thanks Thomas for sending. I had to find the lyrics first to understand all, that is my lack of English, while I am Dutch. He was a great singer and humorist, a wonderful combination. So sad he died so young.

[kiaweking]

Tis sad indeed! but I like to keep the positive view. He left us richer for his having been here on earth. We now have some of the silliest songs in the universe. Songs to make us smile at ourselves (or even laugh). He also gave us the last great train song "City of New Orleans"

Have a good evening my friend.

Aloha,

Thomas

[lennycohenfan]

Steve was the best. We miss you.
