[Ngacier]

He's gonna be in JKT for Java Jazz Festival... cannot wait!!!

[SuperHotPink33]

[jayst5]

haha how can you not want to do "the march"

[MrHeello]

love robert randolph and the family band! !

[kennymontejano]

Man he really makes that thing sing

[11Bigkris]

unbelieveable that i use to go to church with this cat, he is the truth

[CGStrutt]

You are an awesome pedal steel guitar player!

[christoffervideo]

Great performance!!!

The pianist looks like Will Ferrel :P

[chico69003]

nice

[carlosomse]

<3 loooove sooo much gonna see him live tonight, normally he would have been warmup for greg allman but greg got sick and had to cancel his tour so Robert Randolph will play a full set now .... sooo mcuh looking forward to this show =)

[niniopelon]

I'd be dancing like a dwarf with this great sound... 

[rehcets1]

Although different enough to be a song in its own right, I have considered this to be a deriviative of a song known by the names Guitar Rag, Steel Guitar Rag, and Hawaiian Boogie, originally recorded by Sylvester Weaver in 1923. I have suspected that it was derived from a forgotten 19th century march.

[Darlaboodle]

Saw them at Jazz Fest in NOLA a few weeks ago.....AWESOME!!!

[AllInTheJourney]

He better play that guitar!!! It sounded like it was singing at 6:40. Can't wait for them to be at the Mid Summer Music and Food Fest in Atlanta on June 18th!!!!

[lebronsmyboy6]

@AllInTheJourney his phrasing is insane

[lebronsmyboy6]

@wmather10 jeff coffins the man!

[38Avril]

Holy Holy Gospel Funk !

[chaard1973]

@lebronsmyboy6

Now how did I know you were going to say that?

[lebronsmyboy6]

@chaard1973 idk noob

[chaard1973]

@lebronsmyboy6.

I wasn't comparing Robert Randolph to Meatloaf. I said you can hear a 3-4 sec riff that sounds like it is from Bat Out of Hell several times. I am not ripping Robert Randolph.

Now who is the moron?

[lebronsmyboy6]

@chaard1973 still u

[butchdixon]

This is not eve impersonating a steel player. I have no idea what to call it.

[teenytootsies0]

LOVE THAT!!!!!! That's all I can say!

[ForminaSage402]

what are the two changes in "Oh when the saints" they're using right between 4:54 and 4:55? I can't figure those chords out but they're delicious as hell. Are they just walking chromatically down to the 7th?

[tifferdile1]

@ForminaSage402 I don't know how much you know about music and chord theory but it's basically a bass line walking down the scale of 1, flat 7, 6. The chords are 1, 1 dominant 7, and 4 in that transition. For example, if it were in the key of C for ease, the bass line would be C, B flat, A, and the chords would be C, C7, F respectively. Hope that helps. :)

[ForminaSage402]

@tifferdile1 I know theory, thanks for typing it up. But I was narrowing it down even further...the two chords right where the lyrics "to be" in 'I'd love to be in that number." I have it figured out though, the bass is touching on a B natural before hitting Bb for the C7. Like I said, chromatically going to the seventh.

[chaard1973]

Definitely hear Alman Bro's and even a Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell riff through out the song. first one @ 45-49 sec.

[lebronsmyboy6]

@chaard1973 DONT EVER COMPARE MEATLOAF TO ROBERT RANDOLPH ARE YOU A MORON?

[Freethinker12341]

sooo awesome

[JoeCool4887]

If these guys were around in the 70's they would've been up there with Sly and the Family Stone

[emerc58]

Boston tonight baby.

[DrCool8]

organ player is killin it... shit, they're all killin it

[StanHouk]

@DrCool8 That's Jason Crosby on Keys.... He plays Fiddle and Guitar ....

[SMGuitar93]

Its hard to match the Allman brothers, but 3:20-4:00 sounds SO much like Jessica its scary...

[Freethinker12341]

@SMGuitar93 holy shit, how did u notice that!

[feverlead]

this show is rockin, where was this?

[DeanMusic95]

@feverlead Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004

[hooah9422]

one of the best live shows ive ever seen. scratch that THE best show i have ever seen.

[PastorCarney]

A black Dickie Betts on steel guitar!

[quocie]

wts the basss players name

[montereypopfestiva67]

@quocie Danyel Morgan. He is Robert Randolphs Cousin and one of the greatest (probably the best unknown) Bassists ever.

[wreckonize1]

have liked him from the start....very refreshing

[wemakeemrunagain1]

You, Mr. Randolph, know how to rock.

[sarahzsmyl]

That looks like The Eric Clapton Cross Roads Guitar Music Festival...My head is in there somewhere! Incidently, that was the first time I'd ever heard of him...and he knocked my socks off.

[montereypopfestiva67]

Saw them last night in Buffalo. One of the best nights of my life

[ThaTruthsTeacher]

These guys are incredible live. Put on a hell of a show in the Lou in 04. Rocked the house, and got to meet him.

[Oelm3n]

I love this!

[STEELBG]

FANTASTIC player you are, Robert.

friendship and best wishes from france

bernard

[Diptwankynard]

Can nobody enjoy a great piece of music without bringing religion into it? Personally, i'm a christian, but i don't see how that should affect what i hear, or what others hear. Believe what you want, and don't try to push your beliefs onto others.....

And for the record, this is my favourite song from the crossroads concert... i love the unique sound of his guitar style

[MrBluesrules]

Devastating, Absolutely Devastating!

[bigboione1]

organ player killin

[lehotchoriginale]

anyone know what type of bass he's playing?

[MrRedrocket42]

@lehotchoriginale That would be a Yamaha BB2005. Daniel is a fantastic bassist and his tone is second to none.

[2438016]

@ JMOZEE U RIGHT!

[phatphucer1]

 YES!!! I first heard Robert Randolph on the Eric Clapton Crossroads DVD. Happy as hell to see him on stage w/ bands like DMB (not here, but on other posts). He is way too talented not to get noticed by mainstream musucians :-) The March is Awesome!

[Jmozee]

THIS IS A CHURCH MARCH...ALL HIS MUSIC CoMES FRoM CHURCH....THE HoUSE oF GoD KIETH DoMINIoN

[zemurph]

@Jmozee STFU and just take it for its musical value and stop bringin religious bullshit into it. God doesnt exist anyway so your wasting your one life on thiss planet

[Jmozee]

@zemurph fuck you. you dumb ass...all im doing is telling the truth...if u ask him yourself he will tell you the same thing dummy

[THEkANG7]

@Jmozee Dont listen to that dumbass what the hell does he know

[CmdrGendoIkari]

@Jmozee - You might be starting to understand the origins of the Blues then.

[jonesnoi]

I remember back in like '05 I heard "I Need More Love" for the first time and was intrigued, and then one day I was bored and just searched for them and saw/heard "Ain't Nothing Wrong With That" and I've been on one heck of a RR binge ever since.

[mintama]

Wow, I love Robert Randolph.

His group is great.

[Rheems1]

That bass effect has to fucking go but otherwise this is a great song with alot of feeling and emotion!!

[RayHaim]

his music is always consistantly great

[thedogtalker]

just got back from ottawa bluesfest,Robert will be the highlight of this years festival,great energy and band.Stayed and watched him instead of going to main stage and watching whats left of the grateful dead.

[Speakeasy84]

His expression at 3:31 makes him look like he's doing something sneaky :D. Awesome performance, get to see them live in two weeks, can't wait!

[AvianSurvivors]

pause at 3:32 and Robert becomes Devious!

[Jmfroatl]

saw this song played at Wakarusa... epic!!! i still am getting chills

[teerak144]

And How.  Down righ jammin

[92enjybenjy]

this style rocks!

[brycebutner]

This music might just be able to save the world

[gtibanez7]

@brycebutner one can only hope so this is the intensity i like to put in my own music. I think its the Duane style that caught my ear but the whole piece is fantastic

[AbsolutelyTranced]

Check out The Lee Boys, Joyful Sounds.

[rayvonnia3]

i like the first part best, the solo part is the best

[macrochronic]

ive gotta see robert live

[shay8794]

yea it came from the HOGC Church Keith Dominion....what musicians played for the offering

[bossladiie1]

lead player awesome...

piano player, hell yeah....

bass player,  very nice...

audience... SUCKED...

[MrCoccov]

One of the best to do it

[darkrai1555]

I also HEAR! I forgot to say HEAR!

[darkrai1555]

I love this guy! By the way, i also a little Oh When The Saints close to the end. Haha! nice!

[TheStreeze]

Thats because it is when the saints come marching in, he often weaves that into this song.

[ErosPoop]

Music like this, just proves that there is indeed a God<3

[fpic]

love the performance, the audience SUCKS

[dragnrider9]

this sounds like a allman brothers song,i watched this today in music history(our teacher is super awesome youd have to met her)but ya and i was blown away even myself being a shred guitarist this made me wanna play lap steel its awesome.

[bluelibra65]

i was thinking the same thing, it's very allman-esque, but still, RR Rocks! -he's about got it over on guitar players,

how many strings does that thing have anyway?

[allencollinsexplorer]

13 strings plus pedals to change the tuning

[bluelibra65]

well, thats just not fair, is it??

[WD038]

Super performance - but, what a public!!

No one´s getting his damn butt into vertical,,,,,; it´s a shame

[juggHERnutt]

sounds like the alman brothers

but i still love it

[HoopVitality]

How are those people not dances their butts off!?

[asethapart]

@HoopVitality

not enough drugs

[juffurey]

@HoopVitality cuz theyre honkeys, no offense

[lebronsmyboy6]

@juffurey wow what a racist dick

[mattiegoldberg]

@HoopVitality

because all of them are middle aged white people

[TwoSet]

fuck yeah....

[yellow835]

awesome song

[RythmnMaster2009]

Just CLASS 5*****

[strahisla]

incredible

[Sandman2330]

rolling stones made him #98 as best guitarist but hes n umber one in my book

[starlightz1]

truely is that best

[steviemack9]

Jesus, Mary, Joseph he's SMOKE"N !!!

[FlatEarthTheory]

This guy is smokin'!!

[KnightsofStolkholm3]

Ultimate Line-up:

Robert Randolph

Derek Trucks

Victor Wooten

Carter Beauford

[SWEETWILLKINGSTON]

Victor Wooten is so under appreciated! He is so good, but nobody ever uses him on these huge jams except for DMB, and that ended awhile ago. He can make a bass talk!

[KnightsofStolkholm3]

I definitely agree, but he sure does bela fleck proud.

[bluelibra65]

i've got a good friend from chicago,

who grew up w victor,

and told me what a down to earth guy he is,

and that he has so many endorsements,

he's literally got basses commen out his ass.

[SMGuitar93]

@KnightsofStolkholm3 Holy shit dude, you nailed it.

[Fiawoo]

Sounds like he is influenced by the allman brothers.

[salad64]

how can u smoke pole? haha!!! Pundit?!?!?!?!

[PoserHaterKiller]

Pundit (expert), an expert or opinion-leader who analyzes events in an area of expertise in the popular media. And i was basically callling him/her cock sucking expert. I dont rage over much, but when I see people saying stuff like "He needs to remember where he came from... THE HOUSE OF GOD"!!!!!???? Its small minded people like that, that have to attribute everything good they see and feel and hear to the divine will of God.

[PrayForSnow5]

I was merely explaining what the house of god is. And pointing out your ignorance in the meantime. Listen to the lyrics and do some research before you make a fool of yourself. Ya... slightly religious. In fact he hasn't forgot "where he came from". Small minded is nice way to put it. But you don't sound to open minded yourself.

Since your interested... Tall skinny guy without religion. And I hate U2 (friend was watching rose bowl show last night and clicked subscribe). Anything else?

[PoserHaterKiller]

Anything else? Sure why not. I must apologize for my previous insults being innacurate. I now know the ideals of a skinny goddless moron like you. All im really doing is provoking you to give more information about yourself which you HAVE been with every statement that YOU make, which im sorry to say shows how weak minded you really are. Atleast all this banter back and forth is giving your poor dog/cat/gay lover a break form all the anal trauma. And btw, nice save on the U2 thing. t(-_-t)

[soulphoenix41]

No, Robert Randolph learned his music from where he attended church... The House of God Church.

[PoserHaterKiller]

What the fuck are you saying? I dont care where he learned what ever he knows man!! All i was saying was that IT WAS HIM THAT SPENT THE TIME LEARNING HOW TO PLAY NOT JESUS AND NOT GOD! Your like 12 years old dude so STFU unless you know what your talking about or commenting on.

[PrayForSnow5]

Do you have a shitty home life or something? Angry man.

As far as I know you are correct: Jesus and God are not known to teach guitar. Also mastering his instrument most likely took a great deal of hard work *pat's the ignorant cunt on the head*. But members of his church did teach him, and religion is his main inspiration. I don't understand why that is a problem to you. Have you heard any of his songs?

Notice how I can argue using knowledge as apposed to gay jokes, and short bus assumptions

[PoserHaterKiller]

God you dont learn do you? Im not gonna bother with a rebuttle, just know that if i actually knew who you were and where you were i would most definatley slap the shit outa you just for being annoying. Thanks for not including any short bus or gay jokes in your comment.

You sir are a GOOF!

nuff said.

[PrayForSnow5]

Take care

[zemurph]

Typical they bring God into it. Always the effin same!

God DOES NOT exist so stop worrying and do something with your lives.

Heres a nice wee linky you should all have a small read. God up against the Hague for Crimes against Humanity is an interesting prospect.

[100lights56]

Better hope your right for your sake

[zemurph]

@100lights56

im not too worried lad, they can take their ghost stories elsewhere

[bleedbluesgtr71]

@zemurph God is whatever you want Him/Her/It it be...

[macrochronic]

more love.....listen to the messenger

[AzWeThInKwEizZ]

So much soul....

[charliejohnutz]

this rules, thankyou REAL scott for showing me this video

not the fake scott

real

[TheFrozenLads]

wow.....that's all i can say. wow.

[magmasouls77]

yea he just needs to remember where he came from

The House Of God

[PoserHaterKiller]

oh shut the fuck up about you God shit! so tired of you religous morons spouting your non BS.

[PrayForSnow5]

The House of God is the church where he was trained on the pedal steel. I'm not religious either... but Randolph is and as a result we get to listen to his awesome music. So shut up.

[PoserHaterKiller]

How about you go fuck yourself with a pedal steele guitar you pole smoking pundit. And dont bother repying unless you wanna just see more profanity cause i got LOTS! Plus i have alot of spare time and that = fail for you : ( .

[PrayForSnow5]

Your funny. Pundit? Wasn't analyzing, not an expert, its actually a pretty famous church.

You make me proud to be Canadian. Using big words in your insults and such. Keep up the the good work.

[PoserHaterKiller]

I hardly think "Pundit" is a big word. Im gonna go out on a limb here and guess your some fat man/woman (child) with no self esteem who has to deligate everything in their life to divine will of GOD! Since i know for a fact that im not far off, let me tell YOU that its people like YOU who would critisize artists like Ray Charles because he used traditional church songs as the basis for his own material. We each walk our own path, RR put in the time and pratice, not God! PLUS your a U2 fan LMFAO

[1992daan]

Absolutly fantastic! Crossroad guitar festival huh? I'm downloading the whole DVD-box.. Hoping 2 see more of great musicans like Randolph :D

[lightman47]

no matter how bad i feel, this song always makes me smile

[TheStreeze]

I hear ya there, me too. Especially getting to hear it live and dance with him.

[metala88]

@lightman47 indeed :)))

[saxyjew22]

Allman Brothers, meet Stevie Wonder.

[cptnbennett]

There's probably 9 people in the 40,000 person audience doing the march dance. Middle aged white people are so unwilling to dance. Ohhhhhhhhhhh well. Great song and band nonetheless.

[scottyguy92]

Lol, I noticed that the first time I saw this. I have the DVD and when I was watching it, I cracked up at the lack of people dancing. Some people just don't know how to loosen up and have a bit of fun.

[MuskieMcKay]

I play "When the Saints" on slide too. Never seen him do it, it just works so well...

[xxCCBBxx]

sounds like louis armstrong but on guitar.. amazing

[ErosPoop]

He Seems So Happy, This Guy Is Cool Man<3

Buy The Crossroads Festival DVD Guys You Won't Be Disappointed.

:)

[scottyguy92]

The Crossroads Festival DVD is sick.

[lightman47]

Especially with a great sound system!!

Crossroads is one of my top 5 muisc dvd's

[drumanick91]

haha, he taught me to do the march at all good music festival too, and damn it felt good

[dgmusic7]

lmao at 2:49

Great Playing tho

[loombaron]

amazing =) thanks for sharing this !!!!

[salad64]

best vid EVER!!!! watched the same vid in music class and went home and watched it again its so good!!!!!

[shockermph]

wat music class cause i just watched it in my music class

[RobRiff707]

His playing is so sweet!! He does sound a lot like Dicky Betts but on steal pedal. He must like the allman bros.

[Suzywriter]

I agree, RR's playing always reminded me of Dickey Betts' style. This song makes me think of Blue Sky, although they are totally different kinds of music.

[RobRiff707]

After that second dance interlude he plays a run from jessica note for note...... Still good enough for me. I'll be quiet now!!

[talanderson3]

This show was at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas back in 2004. It was the 1st Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival, it's on DVD (just like the 2nd fest. which was in Chicago).

[Freakster36]

No the show was at Malahide castle near Dublin Ireland they did play let it rain it actually started raining during it,was freaky lol

[wooitsmark]

That was a great show by RR but Clapton was so lackluster that day. And the techies!? The sound popped n dropped twice! RR put on a great show though

[jefflehnen]

where was this show?

[Freakster36]

Seen them open for Eric Clapton last year they're fantastic they really know how to put on a show, no 1 even noticed the terrential rain lol Awsome!!!

[rwgabb2]

was this show in Noblesville, Indiana.....because i was there....he should have played let it rain

[ForeverMan91]

Haven't seen a Randolph show in a while. Looks absolutely wonderful here. Love this tune and the "when the saints go marching' theme in the middle is cool.

[yeti60]

Looks like Robbie is having fun.

[MordecaiKart64]

I'm just getting into this guy and his band. Not only is he an incredible musician, but it seems like his shows are a fucking blast to go to

[Suzywriter]

Wow...I would have never missed church if the music was like this! Play on, man!

[500gpm]

I have front row tickets at the Saenger Theatre in Mobile Alabama April 30th

cannot wait. Great Band, Best live show location in the south

[relentlessprogress]

this guy is a freaking animal. that ending is incredible. i've never heard a pedal steel sound so good

[ASkyfiOriginal]

Me as well, and my grandpa makes them, and knows robert.....

*hopes papa dont read this :P*

[bikerbutterfly]

they'll be at THE VOGUE, Indianapolis,

April 23, 2009

I'm goin'. Seen them twice, willing to go

again, awesome live show.

PEACE

[roftedele]

siiiiiii spacchi
