Acoustic El Cid

[TheWheelia]

RAD.

[robobobobo]

the ending to this is so nice :)

[vruls]

You guys are gonna make it big

[ytwallabang]

Mark of an awesome band.

[stude444]

Next time you come to portland you should do an acoustic show =D we love this stuff, not to mention I have a vintage toy guitar from the 60s you can use =P

[KanashiiSorrow]

Love the acoustic set up! Very nice guys! ^-^

[skater4lifedude]

ITunes ? How to? Come on!

[chibisven]

Hey look, it's my guitar being played by a sam!

Totally dug this acoustic style show!

[MossclawHarryPotter]

Ah I remember this. I loved it. You guys are awesome live.

[JoshsBlock]

Acoustic El Cid just blew my mind.

[jabblesfan1]

@wheezynews Where did the name El Cid come from? Do you play Age of Empires?

[Joobacca0319]

COME TO SAN JOSE WHEEZY!!!

[99haha99]

Its actually pretty frickin good.

[chipotleenthusiast]

Is it possible to buy the acoustic versions of your songs? or is that a no go?

[TheTardisTent]

Just finished catching up on the Wheezy News vids (took two days... but worth it!) and now must demand a tour of the UK for DPC! You guys are epic and Craig is truly excellent!

[fskfhg]

...wait Have Jeff replaced the glasses guy for good?

[TopHatKidd]

@fskfhg Just for touring, I think. Nate (the other drummer) is an architect.

[fskfhg]

@TopHatKidd weird though, he has not been on tour three times in a row

[TopHatKidd]

@fskfhg I don't know - maybe they just decided he wouldn't tour with them or something.

[TopHatKidd]

@fskfhg And didn't that other guy Justin tour with them too?

[fskfhg]

@TopHatKidd yep... jeff two times and justin one 

[beautifulplacebo]

I'd love an acoustic live album of Buckminster, just saying. 

[lalaloz92]

Pleasepleaseplease come to Australia :)

[zeppelinite666]

@DoubleIpodNerdBurito No siree! I shant delete it!

[James0x57]

Anyone else notice the guy standing on the wedding cake in the background?

[schizophrenicPrime]

poor sam is the only one who didnt get a chair :O

...why is that the first thing I noticed???

that was really stupid xD

anyways, love this song :D

[beno3131]

you guys should do an acoustic album

[alldieinhell2009]

:D

this is my fav song on the buckminster album its so chill

[SpiledMilk]

I loved Driftless pony club before I even knew about wheezy...

[JakeTheFakeReal]

liek a baws

[rethinkOURreality]

The guitar parts in acoustic sound really great on this song!

[dragonguitar777]

They should come out with an acoustic CD. it'd be legit.

[haliltheturk]

Driftless Pony Club, please come to the UK, i'd actually go! pleeeeasseeee

[yamercado2]

I like the ever-so-subtle warp from the wide angle lens. Great video, amazing song!

[NaughtyTeacup]

You guys are amazeballs.

[pkConda]

Another great performance by Craig and the Ponies

[Mefgar]

Next stop, EUROPE! Come on Wheezy, Ireland and the U.K. want to feel the presence of your amazing beard.

[Gemlin300]

I liked it, however this video lacked disappearing people in purple shorts.

[Clarklikescereal2]

@Gemlin300 It does feature a beard mug though!

[ArcMaple]

The fact that they can pick up some random guitars and give an impromtu gig of this quality is a testiment to how talented they are, craigs singing is seriously good, I judge a bands quality by their ability to perform live - cause we can all sound good in a recording studio.

A hell of a lot of current high profile popular "bands" wouldn't have the ability to do this.

[WithASideOfFries]

@ArcMaple I agree.

[WhattheVloggity]

Oh man this is too awesome I cant contain myself!!

[Clazzy8]

The drummer looks abit like ryan reynolds.

[DaytimeOperator]

@Clazzy8 I reckon he looks like Matt Lewis

[PandaJack94]

Is this from the newest album? I've got all the others :)

[OrangebearProducts]

Hmm, I like the way you move around as you play.

[LittleReadRidingHood]

Hey see that mug there? I saw the girl who gave it to him give it to him at Vidcon. I hope she sees this!

[wordsmith999]

craig is my second favorite lisped singer

[haliltheturk]

@wordsmith999 who's your first? :P

[StarlightDreamer12]

I love this song. ^_^

[NyyDave]

LOVE the acoustic version!

[fitzgeraldmw]

Nice.

[Everyman1337]

Wow, their singer REALLY looks like WheezyWaiter! :O

[3izwiz]

@Everyman1337 Can't tell if trolling or just really stupid!!!

[Everyman1337]

@3izwiz haha, that's part of the fun!!!

[CanIFrenchTheLlama]

@Everyman1337 It's acoustic clone.

[pedroviolante]

@Everyman1337 yeah, but it's not, it's just craig benzine, some bearded god of the music :D

[GeeMcLee]

Not so driftless now, are you? Must be you guys are acoustically inclined?

[whiteknightbob1]

Really REALLY good instrumentals fellas!

[carnicel001]

Why does Matt wear women's sunglasses?

[semiballpenman]

@carnicel001 The real question is why everyone else doesn't wear women's sunglasses.

[oliviabeesweet]

Needs more cowbell. or perhaps banjo.

[whiteknightbob1]

@oliviabeesweet Or more Banana!

[hutness]

Are you gonna post your Vidcon video (the one which ApprenticeEh edited)? If so, how you're gonna do it? With the live concert part or without? Just wondering. Cause I'd love to see the original video

[stantobob]

These acoustic versions sound great. What do you think about recording a few acoustic tracks on the next album?

[AnnOverboard]

You guys are great! I love this song!

[SlappytheNinja]

FAVORITE SONG

[dude12nothin]

The Battery was kicked out of the band...._.

[tankgirl21]

I'm a wizard! Its like a Jedi, but with a pointy hat!

[zhsy00001]

You guys don't half suck. (that means you are pretty good in foreign-but-still-speak-englis­h)

[Zebbazz]

I love this song!!!

[AntneyW]

You guys should make an official Driftless Pony Club YouTube channel to put live performances, music videos, etc on.

I'd subscribe.

[schoolmornings]

@AntneyW They have a channel called "sambonejr" i think

[AntneyW]

@schoolmornings

Oh wow. I wonder why they haven't mentioned that channel.

(or of they have, I guess I just missed it)

[DukeNukem2006]

Why didnt they give Sam a chair? :( makes me sad cus everyone else is sitting ;__;

[BreadedRedhead]

k listen, i love wheezy as much as (or more than) the next guy, but he is BAD at singing :(

[dragkid185]

@BreadedRedhead have you even heard his new album? if not outside concerts unless really loud will sound different and anyways most camera mics are really bad at reproducing music/voices from what i can tell, and my voice is really deep that nearly all mics will make my voice higher than it really is.

[TheNintendOtaku]

@BreadedRedhead It's not as easy to sing well while still keeping your voice as low as he did. Normally, they sound even better than they did here, but this was an acoustic version in a public park.

[billyboblingwa1]

@BreadedRedhead he really isn't 'BAD'... who would you say is really really good at singing that you like, just out of interest ?

[missfish123]

boid moses

[missfish123]

whos dan

[LANDA9511]

You guys are go good <3

[TheBaggieJoe]

does drummer jeff know there's no base pedal? :/

[freagame]

@TheBaggieJoe jeff is keeping time with the foot not pretending that there is a base pedal there

[stude444]

@TheBaggieJoe

hes keeping time, It really actually helps a whole lot when playing on a setup like that.

[PyroNinja713]

This song needs more Duracell. He rocks that keyboard.

[iZde4d]

PONIES, Y U NO GO TO TAMPA?!

[wedgeii2]

where's the battery?

[SirBelmerD]

Part of my last name is Cid, then this song is about me!!! :D cool cause i love this song. :P

[Exwic01]

WHEEZY!!! You HAVE to tell your sister I said Happy Birthday! ~not a creep its just also my birthday~

[escthepresent]

wheezy I had a dream that I went to one of your shows and taped your performance. It sucks living in europe:(.

[escthepresent]

omg omg my favourite song!!!!

[theDwightness]

I'm really pretty mad. I wanted to see you guys play in Madison today, but it's too far away. Therefore, you guys owe me a show in Milwaukee or Green Bay on a day when I'm NOT busy.

[TheRAND0MVideos]

New look ok Youtube already?

[xmissjemx]

I love how you guys sound just as amazing acoustic as you do plugged in.

That's rare.

[TheRiffCalendar]

Who's recording?

[poshnpiffle]

@TheRiffCalendar AJ... same as Pluto. wheezy named him on his main channel. plus, i was there!

[TheRiffCalendar]

@poshnpiffle You lucky son of a bitch :P

[maximumride427]

CANADA AAAH!

[dha0266]

You guys remind me of old Modest Mouse... It's great.

[buccaneerpenguin]

Quite the plethora of guitars you have there.

[lin90210]

nice =D

[musiccraver123]

Wheezy Shoes = WIN!

[Lauffles]

Three guitars and drums. How very Sonic Youthian of you. Sounds good, doods.

[iThinkiQuestion]

baton rouge show? =)

[Toxyflog]

WEEZY IM SORRY I MISSED YOIR MINNEAOLIS SHOW!!!

[matto8mati]

Love this song

[spvstu]

his video is jokes

[poshnpiffle]

I love you guys!

[zeppelinite666]

@DoubleIpodNerdBurito He doesn't suck, you stupid Muggle.

[DoubleIpodNerdBurito]

@zeppelinite666 im sorry that was my friend that runs this channel with me. he apparently has no taste in music :/. Because this song sounds beautiful on a acoustic guitar.

[DoubleIpodNerdBurito]

@zeppelinite666 can u please remove this comment. I told u it was my friend that doesnt know music. I myself make music so i know what real music is. Just please, im begging, remove this.

I <3 Wheezy AND THIS SONG!

i even favorited it ;)

[RememberIronhorse]

@zeppelinite666 he's super talented.

[SmallMediumLarge41]

this is my favorite song!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!

[headcasePA]

whoever had the video camera never really got ne shots of sam (guitarist on the right but i think he plays bass actually lol could be wrong) in any of the vids from this show, sometime hes not even in the picture when the whole band is in frame. just sayin, i feel bad for the guy.

[bass234]

@headcasePA he's a bassist - he's used to it!

[StoopidCityLive]

Come to calgary, Alberta Canada. I am a GINORMOUS fan of yours.

[DukeToast]

DPC should do an acoustic album of their songs, I would pay money for that :P

I'd probably end up listening to the acoustic stuff more though, it's so mellow <3

[NamelessDollies]

come to the east coast D:

[ChrisO7300]

IVe noticed craig plays higher up on the guitar than a lot of players. I like when people do that! :D

[theolivetree95]

I do believe that this song is one of the best song musically that you guys have. I love all the solos. On the album, I swear I could go to sleep just listening to that part.

[schoolmornings]

Will you guys ever tour UK?

[NeapolitanSixth]

Thank you for posting this; I hope we get to see more from this mini-show. :-)

[BellaSolveig]

this is really pretty

[CazandFriends]

Just wonderful! I would love to see you perform if only you would come to England :)

[SocraticRaver]

I like the acoustic version more :)

[maximumride427]

SAM!!!!!!!

[princessnerdfighter]

Craig - just so you know... the ads that showed up below this video were for, firstly, a gynecologist, and secondly, hair plugs. Did you pick those on purpose?

[SplashRange]

Epic solo wheeeeezy!

[neil6020]

this reminds me of ceremony by joy division/new order. i like it.

[TimTheTed]

You guys are so much better than the stuff thats on the radio! i want you to get known!

[JohnoLapse]

Come to UK Tunbridge Wells Forum You will Rock

[MaddiMoMo373]

2 dislikes. AUNT JUDY AND REVENGE CLONE! D:< ima watchin' you.

[CPObvious]

@MaddiMoMo373

And suddenly it is 3. I have bad feeling that revenge clone has found a way to use the cloning machine and has begun to make clones of himself. The situation back at Craig's is not good, NOT GOOD!

[TheSweetDream]

@CPObvious Now there's 5, probably the eagle and michael phelps, he's so high he can't tell the difference between thumbs up and thumbs down

[maximumride427]

@MaddiMoMo373 oh dear..I think the clones have clones...

[Costinesuper]

Good Luck DPC! You are such a humble band! You get all my respect! (FROM ROMANIA)

[superfox1080]

This song usually depresses me. :\ Musically, I love it, though.

[echobears]

i take it sam is the bassist judging by his expression of confusion/bewilderment!?

[KolLiZlOlL]

Wow. I think I'm going to buy Buckminster and the EP.

[bennyvalencia]

so this song isn't about the restaurant?

:(

[11qheck]

I would love to hear an acoustic version of Buckminster album. These acoustic songs sound fantastic.

[Targaryenator]

Still so cool to see how good wheezy is at guitar/singing...you guys did amazing

[kenshin9]

defiantely seem like the funnest band, would love to hang with ya'll at a show.

[IBBSpider]

That was wonderful.

[xpericfilms]

these sound so good acoustic.

[MsAmateurProductions]

Thumbs Up for the beard Cup at 1:00 =)3 (beard-lovers emoticon)

[kenc12]

I have heard really worse band than this with record deals what going on now days

[KaberianRoyalty]

I wish you would have done a gathering somewhere in Texas! An acoustic live set would have been lovely. :D

[SimplyBridgett]

We miss you in chicago weezy!!!

[AnotherPostcard]

Props to who ever brought the Ibanez PF. :)

[thatguydoublem]

[hopelesslyinsane]

[MariazzZebra]

[Dragoskunky]

Driftless Pony club needs to get into the Studio ASAP and record an acoustic Album so I can shove money into my computer to buy it

[killerdude23233]

Oo! Did you guys do House of 1982? I would love to hear an acoustic rendition!

[SaDiEPaTTinSoN]

See you tonight. ;)

[nsk1810]

You should play the "No Internet Song", that song has been stuck in my head for several days now.. Not complaining, I like it :D

[lovemac95]

ok i only have enough money for one dpc album ^_^ what should i start on??? :)

[IvarHuisman]

I hope they did earthquakes are so polite or whatever the song is called there, and I also hope that he will post that =D

[holyshitaflyingbanna]

hey, wheezy and all dpc members you should try and use a jungle drum kit which is basically where you take the floor tom and use it as a bass drum a snare and most people also add a hi tom ride and hi hats

(FANS PLEASE THUMBS THIS UP SO THEY WILL SEE IT IT WILL MAKE THE ACOUSTIC SHOWS MUCH BETTER!!!)

[RageicaNiels]

1:02 = HUGE MUG!!! O.O in the lower left corner

[tpleg]

What's that near Jeff at 1:01? Wheezy toilet paper?

[blueeyedtara]

Come to Canada ...... Near Toronto or Niagara Falls!!!

[annabellatheartist]

ahh <3 my favorite song of DPC! It's amazing acoustic!! Have fun on the rest of the tour!

[songsfrompaul]

Your music sounds so awesome when done acoustically.

(I say this as someone who plays it to himself on an acoustic guitar all the time :P)

[andyg3]

this really is a beautiful song

[mattwzito]

I love it. Post more of these! (if you have more)

[Oliveira2x]

[BOomeek]

Please come to Canada, Wheezy! <3
