Yes! Everybody knows this song hahaha, how can somebody doesnt know it.... And is one of my favorites, and I know is hard to play it... no many bands can play it well!
not to be critical, but wrong verse at 1:32.........should be "there's a room where the light won't find you......etc" but i like these guys, they got a cool sound !!!!
love this version,remember when original was hit.listening with my fellow volunteers at VSWS bear sanctuary MN in truck during crazy electrical storm late at night/sweet memories.protect them bears and all the other animals.
Saw these guys open up for the Gin Blossoms in Traverse City last summer and loved it. I've been trying to turn my friends on to them. I love the fresh sound, hopefully they are around again this summer
btw, being a native Chicago band -- they play in chi-town often. i encourage you to check them out if you're in town. you won't regret it if you truly appreciate good, artistic bands.
mrfrodo -- how can you judge this band from an amateur video at a street festival? and i agree with DMB, it's ridciulous that you didn't know "everybody wants to rule the world" is a cover. how can anyone trust your judgement with your lack of knowledge about this popular piece?
DTL is a fantastic band. i know them personally -- they write they're own heartfelt lyrics and music, and they are positively phenomenal in concert. plus, they're just downright GREAT guys. rare for this biz.
I don't understand how anyone can consider anything Down The Line does as mediocre. They are so electric in concert, even though the majority of their music is purely acoustic. And it's pretty ridiculous that mrfrodo8648 doesn't know that this song is a cover. If anyone else likes DTL, you should check out their other videos on here and some of their songs on iTunes.
The songwriting and playing is pretty mediocre.they r a walking example of how too many un-talented people have lost reality an instead of preserving dignity chose to try to become rock stars regardless of their musical or composing abilities. This would be acceptable if the band were teenagers doing it for abit of fun, but the fact that this band have continued on this path of failure well into their middle-aged depressing lives would be enough to turn Hendrix Himself off guitar playing.

i quite agree. this man risked his life for you in warfare and the best you can give to repay him is this batty-flexing?! centuries of liberty and freedom of sppech and THIS is all you have to show for it. PATHETIC.
music is for everyone, not just teenagers. I've met these guys, one of them has been a friend of mine for years and I can say that they're not trying to be rock stars, they just want to play their music. word to the wise: it's a good idea to know what you're talking about before you say it
levi britton is cool. Hey guy's some friendly advice, Nickel Creek is really bad music. Try to sound as different from that band as you can. The song you're covering is cool..why not get a synth?
Oh, and acoustic pickups always sound like shite. It sounds like someone messed up your nut, and the guitar is always buzzing. Am I the only one in the music industry that can hear this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Gotta mic that shit. cool set guys. Good to hear you play levi. This is charlie g.

This is actually one of the better covers I've seen, and no synths to boot. Interesting.

i wonder if you knew that this is a COVER of one of the BIGGEST songs from the 80's in the USA. I guess the UK is full of douchebags like you.
