Harry Chapin - Rockpalast Live 3 (Dance Band on the Titanic)

Now this song should've been featured in the 1997 film with Gordon Lightfoot singing it (since Mr. Chapin died in 1983) instead of Celine Dion's "My heart will go on".

Well, Harry, our government functions like the dance band on the titanic. This song has been my fav Chapin tune since I first heard it years ago. Paid a buck to some charity to get a kiss from Harry. Yup, I remember it after all these years. A big wet sloppy one right after the concert. A wonderfully talented artist. He is missed.

Man, thanks for this vid! When I turned the audio I got the true feel of it. Lovin' it~

Still one of my all time favs from Harry Chapin. Wish we could hear it on the radio once in awhile. Actually, it's awesome. Very, very socially relevent today.

I am AMAZED the bloody Grateful Dead never covered this song...I love Harry and loathe the dead...but there is just such a great groove running thu this tune . Also, I'm surpirised that a lot more blues bands haven't cottonned on to the idea..

I love the song Dance Band on the Titanic! Would love to see the album version posted. Seems so relevent in a metaphoric way; the climate of America today.
