    Robert Randolph Family Band

    "ain't nothing wrong with that"

  • i'm doing this song for dance team!! so awesomee. (:

  • I don't remember where I first heard this, but I've loved it right away. The baseline is excellent, the singing is spot on, and oh my god how the hell does he make that steel guitar sound so funky??? It just makes you want to get up and shake it! There's also a great message that comes with the song, forget about your differences and just get down and party! He also plays a great Voodoo Child.

  • awesome!

  • we're playing this as a stand tune for my marching band

  • where's the 'love' button??? i was just introduced to this band 2 nights ago - i love it!!!

  • is that a guitar?;;;

  • @MrSEIKOALBA pedal-steel guitar. yes.

  • That joke about Regis at the end is classic David Letterman , that is why I watch his show.

  • I thought the saying "guitar god" was a thing of the past..............wrong again

  • This sort of sounds like the main part of "Rest In Peace" by Extreme. I love this song...

  • Goddamn, they are fkn awesome live :o

  • Haha to those 34 dislikerss its funny cause this is a live performance and it sounds exactly the same as the version on the CD! No editing! Amazingggg viddd

  • 34 people's mommys didnt say "I love you enough"

  • Will be enjoying you at FLOYDFEST 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sick drum action at the end there!!!

  • love this video! He is so cute <3333

  • That was a great performance - I knew nothing about this band until I heard this song and started searching - I love finding pure music with talent - not all that pop BS and voice enhancing crap these days - This was an awesome find

  • супер

  • how can ANYONE dislike this? geez folks.....music with some balls and talent....you dislikers have no ears, hearts, souls, or taste....

  • I cant hear this song without thinking of Cheryl Burke dancing on dancing with the stars. Good tune.

  • Super ej..Love it man

  • he's cool!

  • Amazing.

  • woot! my boss helped me find new GREAT music!

  • he is always amazing

  • CRAZY GOOD

  • Comment removed

  • check Ric.Norris tears up the Drums !!!!

  • in my humble opinion, the best steel slide since Brother Duane............btw, it is SO damn cool that a GREAT guitarist comes along (not as musically accepted as he should be ) but us hard core rockers still keep up

  • @sirwob I don't really think the comparison is very accurate. Duane was obviously very but he just played a regular slide guitar. Robert plays a pedal steel which is MUCH more difficult to play. there is nobody else I even know of who plays blues like that on a pedal steel. most are either in country music or jazz though I'm sure Robert can play all of it.

  • @mightyafrowhitey maybe you don't think the comparison is accurate but apparently RR doesn't think I'm TOO far off, I've seen him live and he did Statesboro Blues and Duane's cover of Stormy Monday but, I DO agree w/you on Randolph being unique

  • @sirwob I don't doubt that Duane Allman was a big influence on RR. I'm just saying that the slide guitar and the pedal steel are completely different instruments with different playing techniques, ect... though they do share some similarities with each other (they both have strings, they are both played with a slide, and so on). it's alldood though.  I know what you're saying.

  • @mightyafrowhitey I understand your point as well and totally agree (btw, good nic)

  • @mightyafrowhitey I have to disagree with your statement that pedal steel is any more difficult than any other type of slide guitar. I often even put my guitar on it's back on my lap... essentially the same thing. I find it easier. The technique is a little different but really the only difference is the direction you pick. And that's just barely offset. OK... and how you hold the slide.

  • @bejerama that's kind of like playing a lap steel. but the difference with a pedal steel is you also have all these foot pedals and knee pedals that raise and lower different combinations of strings in different ways. that's the part I would imagine that would be the most difficult thing to learn.

  • Saw these guys live...killer

  • DAMMMNNNN! these guys are fabulous!!!!!!!!!

  • You want some blues to tell ya about colors, listen to Willie and Laura Mae Jones by Tony Joe White.

    The Blues ain't about black and white, they're about rich and poor.

    Of course the roots are in slavery, but not all slavery is chains. Some called "slave" were better off than some called "free".

    If SLAVERY is over, why do we STILL HAVE THE BLUES?

    Rich folks only came up with some lame-ass Minuet, or Waltz or somethin'.

    You couldn't have Blues without poor people.

    Go tell the bank you're FREE!

  • Pedal steel gets a bad rap because its used in a bunch of lame ass C&W songs, but it absolutely MAKES Neil Young's Heart of Gold, and is a crucial instrument in a great many songs including Zeppelin. Usually it's in the background, and not noticed, but you WOULD notice it, if you TOOK IT OUT of a song.

    I've started listening for it in a lot of great songs from the last 40 years, and it pops up in the strangest places.

    Pretty good use of it here.

    Blues ain't black OR white! It's BLUE! Duh!

  • @wolf6656 and Pink Floyd used it all over Dark Side Of The Moon. definately one of the most beautiful not to mention most difficult instruments out there.

  • My favorite band ever..Peace EJ..Yall be cool

  • Pedal steel guitar (which is what Randolph is playing there) is definitely a hard instrument to master. Not only do you play with your hands, as you saw, but what you probably didn't see was you also play with your feet using the pedals to control the pitch of the strings. So Randolph was using his hands, feet and voice all at the same time. Very talented.

  • Holy shit this guy sounds awesome!

  • Hated steel guitar till now . . .

  • @racetime1960 - Robert Randolf is awesome. I would love to see him come perform at the Grand Teton Music Festival next summer, along with King, Clapton, Waters, Lang, etc. Somebody tell these guys we really want them all to come.

    btw, the Blues isn't a black thing, and never was. The Blues is where both whites and blacks came together to create a great genre of music.

  • @CmdrGendoIkari What the hell are you talking about? Blues music was co-created by white people??? You might want to read about the history of blues music for just a little bit. Browse through Alan Lomax's 'The Land Where the Blues Began" or something. I think you mean rock music was a white/black creation.

  • @salsburysteakjr - There were white folks involved in the Chicago Blues scene basically from almost the very beginning. Jazz on the other hand, was entirely started by and mostly done by African Americans. Jazz was actually the first truly all American created music genre. Rock music has involved both groups. My point was that Blues music is not exclusive to just African Americans. If you believe otherwise, you need to reread the history of Blues.

  • @CmdrGendoIkari The Chicago blues scene? That wasn't big and popular until the early 60s, many many decades after blues had been developed. Even something obvious, Delta Blues, had roots back to the 1920s... No big names then, only people like, Son House, Charlie Patton, and oh yes, Robert Johnson. And not even were they the inventors. Or, simply go to as obvious a source on the subject as you can, wikipedia. Clearly an African American creation.

  • @salsburysteakjr - If we're going as far as the actual roots of Blues music, we could go all the way back to church. And yes, they were mostly African American churches in the deep South. The point you keep missing is that many white folks joined into the Blues scene because they liked what they heard, and wanted to be a part of it. Why exactly are you obsessed with continuing to make your argument? All I have been trying to say is that blacks and whites are both involved in the genre.

  • 32 people thought there was something wrong with that...

  • Excellent. 

  • I love this song so much

  • Scary good, just scary. This guy should be a household name but instead we have to know all about people like Gaga.

  • there's deff ain't nothing wrong with that performance

  • Love this song.

  • Blows that rap crap away!!!

  • This song should be the national anthem for 2010. That boy could blow.

  • Every time I hear this, I just flash back to the 70s & 80s to Sly & the Family Stone, War, and all the great Motown Music hits we had back then.

  • I love this song so much!!! This ''Live Version'' isn't very good, if you watch the music video, the quality is much better.

  • I tell you what... "ain't nothing wrong with that" performance.

  • Holy Frig!!!

    That's insane!!! Man this is pure awesomness!

  • what instrument is that guy playing.? the singer guy..

  • @958keisha I believe it is a steel guitar.

  • @joshdoyle1 ohhh ok yeah it is, thanks!

  • @958keisha Singer guy is playing a Pedalsteel guitar. google that.

  • @thailow117

    Haha. Such arrogance from you. "Google that."

  • this song rocks

  • this song is awsum. I did a dance to this for cheer. It's so cool!

  • WoOoOoOW ok that was amazing, i dont listen to anything but Jazz, RnB and Soul but this was just great...

  • Hi Rasheeda112,

    I have e-mailed Ellen Degeneres several times to have her get the RR Band to appear on her show to no avail.

    Her show always opens with a dance tune and she has had some very good lesser known artists on her show already.

    I am not saying that RR & The Family Band are lesser known, but they could certainly use the exposure to expand their fan base. To watch Robert perform is simply infectious. He has such a positive personality. I'll keep trying...

  • You keep doing that! good luck debb17055, i'll cross my finga'z for you.

  • this is r'n'b and soul :)

  • great song....love his jam with Dave Matthews Band on lousiana bayou! check it out!

  • love them<3

  • WOW, tremendous!

  • these guys can really fucking rock out....saw them years ago with The String Cheese Incident.....needless to say, I like Robert Randolph Band BETTER

  • i love this song its a great song to dance 2

  • this is my feel good song :] haha

  • awesome song

  • AWESOME!

    LOVE IT! :D

  • Phish should do a cover of this song

  • badass.

  • awesome.

  • wow.. all that ith just a dam pedal steel, impressive

  • Takes a special kind of talent to be able to command the stage with that much presence while playing an instrument that you have to sit down at.

  • the white guy must be adopted

  • lol

  • @bdukie11 no i just saw them play last night robert randolph the bassist, and the drummer are cuzins

  • it dont matter

  • @bdukie11 which one, the bassist or keyboard player?

  • @bdukie11 "the white guy"? there are 2 ^^

  • @IsiPearl the bass player is his cousin and not white.

  • @bdukie11 which one?

  • I like the way he plays the guitar thingy on the synth....whatever it is. It's cool.

  • It's a pedal steel guitar.

  • This band is a perfect example of how a band can sound awesome live but their recorded stuff is not so great. I heard them on Austin City Limits and they blew the doors off the place, but I heear their recorded stuff on XM and its really mediocre. Why is that?

  • I think it's just coz you can't replicate that sort of energy. It's not that it's not good...but when you've heard these guys live.....well, live is always better than recorded.

  • He is one of the very few artist that have such an infectious personality that cannot be ignored, Michael Franti is another one. I just can't help but love these artists!

  • If anyone wants this song just type DVD Video soft into google and there is a youtube to mp3 converter :D have fun

  • amazing song

  • a little bit off but a good song

  • really? thats them playing how can you tell the original artist its off.

  • anyone knws da tabs 4 dis song?

  • haha that regis philbin bit was great towards the end

  • does anyone have a freee download link to this song?

  • strawberricrispi04,

    Just google this: Robert Randolph Aint Nothing Wrong With That Free MP3 and you'll find many download sites which have the song for free download.

    Here are some sites: BeeMP3, MP3raid, airMP3, BombMP3... Freee and easy.

    * I mean the studio version of the song, I don't know if this one is available

  • Kidofrodo, see my response to strawberricrisp04

  • Comment removed

  • Would it really hurt you (strawberricrisp04 and kidofrodo) to pay $.88-.99 for it? It's RRFB's property, it's giving you enjoyment, yet you can't pay under a buck for it? Also, do you two really think that this an appropriate venue for discussing how to take this song from RRFB? After all, you're already getting it for free on youtube?

  • this is a song  AINT NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT !!!!!!

  • You can download over 200 RRFB concerts @ archive d.ot or.g.

  • awesomeeee........ :)

  • That was superb

  • i love the CD "unclassified" the jams on that CD are incredible. squeeze has easily become one of my favorite bass songs. and good times is just a damn good song. steel guitar is so beautiful.

  • That is a pedal steel guitar. Mostly used in country music, it gives country that distinctive "sad" sound. RR certainly makes his own sound. Amazing.

  • RR takes the "gay" out of pedal steel guitar. Excellent musician on a crappy instrument.

  • Your penis is probably wider than it is long.

  • Probably. You can come over and find out. You have to keep your pants on though.

  • How is the instrument gay?

  • is that steel guitar?! he's amazing!

  • I was wondering the same thing myself.

    I think it might be an electrified/modded dulcimer or autoharp? Not sure. But R. Randolph sure can play it!

    Hopefully someone can jump in and give us more info. I'm curious, too.

  • aintttt nothing wronnnnngg withat ... :D

  • oh my gosh!! :D

    they totally ROCK! :D

    damn!

  • dont matter

  • his HOT :)

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD SONG
