Ted Leo - Timorous Me & Walking To Do

[saranobby]

Fuck. I wish i was Timory

[blacksabbath131]

@saranobby Timory is dead, so you probably shouldn't wish you were here.

[geronimojackson420]

this makes living in Iowa even more depressing. I'll likely never get to see one of my favorite artists live.

[monthehoops25]

@geronimojackson420

He was in Iowa City and I believe Des Moines last year

[peterrifel2pro4u]

am I the only one who cant take their mind off how much he was rushing during the verses? seriously its a good 10bpm faster than when there's no lyrics, and 15-20bpm above his studio version of this.

good performance though

[alinaromania87]

probably limited by time...

[xflamingpenguinx]

I think it's just more fun :D

[Mauldinian]

two of the best songs ever written

[dillonpwnshard]

i think you meant to say

"Two of the best songs ever written.PERIOD"

amazing

[xflamingpenguinx]

someone needs to post walking to do tabs somewhere T_T

that's my favorite song and i only know a little of it

[xflamingpenguinx]

what guitar is that?

[kungfuruckus]

it's an brown epiphone sheraton II, but he's switched over to a gibson ES335 since then

[carrotbun]

i love this song...it really takes me back to those friends you always thought would be there.....it reminds me of wonder years...

[fanman475]

I just saw these guys open for Pearl Jam... INCREDIBLE.

[gumby300]

where is this is SF?

this song is so amazing, i want to see them live! Come back from Europe! lol

[gumby300]

lol i meant where in SF

[xflamingpenguinx]

as soon as this song is over i'm looking up the next show near me... he's awesome.

[talflick]

basically, he's in europe for like forever and I'm not sure if he's touring before working on another album. :P

[JackB55555]

He's like an American Joe Strummer, who, coincidentally, this song is about.

"All Johnny left us was an apple tree", A reference to Joe Strummer's song "Johnny Appleseed".

And man is he great to hear live.

[pastpastdue]

i don't know if i agree with that, as both ted's and joe's albums came out around the same time.

[JackB55555]

Sorry, the song isn't entirely about Joe Strummer.

After all he was a die hard fan of Joe Strummer and there's not much else that line could mean that doesn't take at least some of the fun out of the song.

[cgossman2]

Some of the easiest listening... awesome..

[kamelrov]

Ted Leo is so fucking great.

[KimJongSick]

Where's his Gibson? He's playing an Epiphone Sheraton here but his usual axe is a Gibson ES-335.

I notice too many things.

[fender1bender]

he very often indulges in the sheraton

[frink60]

he played the epiphone before he played the gibson. if you watch the dirty old town dvd he is using the epiphone. I believe he picked up the 335 a few years ago.

[hawk2112]

yeah, his epiphone is his main guitar. he plays the gibson more now because the sheraton is taking a beating.

[talflick]

it's actually 99% broken now, along with his Orange amp. they both f--- up at his live shows every so often. The show before the last one I saw (which was in new york) his amp completely died halfway through a song. lmao.

Yeah, he started with an epi sheraton but you know how being rich and relatively unfamous can be--BUY MORE GUITARS!

I kinda miss it though, cause I play an epi sheraton II as well.

[Gepetto88]

he plays much faster live. the band all jams harder though. loud as hell shows. great performances.

[domhnallcolumba]

Saw him just over a month ago at King Tut's. Absolutely brilliant show. Loved the Timorous Me (favourite Ted Leo song) leading into Walking To Do.

[explicating]

catching him live is a religious experience. absolutely wonderful.

[talflick]

i see him may 2th.

[TaintedBlu]

saw him last night, it was dope

[ABRHAMSTAAD]

I LOVE TED

[galactus5000]

How can a man that nerdular rock THAT hard? This is proof that there is no god.

[square028]

It's best not to think about it.

[galactus5000]

Too late.

[robblehood]

Funny, I always thought Ted Leo was proof that there IS a God...from whence else could those riffs come but from heaven?

[shanvee]

i MUST see him live.

[shanvee]

damn, he is awesome live. i love ted leo.

[artstarr9331]

i love that man
