[CSSW44]

[denver97ghost]

YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND brings the fucking HEAT every time they step on stage.

[Jkatcha]

The way Ben walks his fingers up the mic @ 4:20 (coincidence?) is the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

[Uncovered3rdEye94]

Just found these guys a few weeks ago. . . Instantly fell in love haha

[rushwb]

Makes me miss John Hartford...great cover!!!

[Iburndowncities]

@PhillyPhunk

Philly Blows

[emcgraw44]

all good music festival masontown wv this summer ill be holdin hell be holding well all be holding.......

[mantooth51]

ever heard of a "cover" harmony?

[GeroldoRivera]

@observationman

i think observation man has A very good point that we should all consider. It is kinda 97.1 simple, easy listening music that isnt nessecarly deeply intricate or crazy that really gets you thinking like some of the stuff in the past. But, these guys are great for the kind of music they play, you cant say that isn't true.

[stevezissou1990]

i'm holdin'

[MountainGyspy]

Stay off the coke guys. Love ya xxx

[harmonykoruption]

This is a John Hartford tune...not something the skullclub screwfaced republicans would use as a took to make our heads bob...or throw away shit. They are great musicians...not my thang and there is a flux of neo-grass that sprung up...blame it on west coast fads and fashion...actually,I dont blame it on anyone... John Hartford was a gadd'ang PIMP!

[runtismaximus]

naw im calling you a fag cause you talk like a fag nobody gives a shit about your lame opinion or how many concerts you've gone too maybe if your comment wasn't clearly insulting i wouldn't think that but otherwise your just a douche bag

[observationman]

Music has become soooooooo pathetically ordinary, predictable, and safe. I'm sick of it. Musicians need to start taking drugs again because this is ridiculous. I'm serious, this is lame. Take some acid or something.

[spiff195]

@observationman wait you aren't sayin these guys are lame, are you?

[observationman]

@spiff195 No, just pathetically average. Trust me, I've seen thousands of concerts, I know what I'm talking about. These guys are typical of modern music - it is designed to appeal to your sweet tooth, but not your intellect or your guts or your soul.

[runtismaximus]

@observationman fag

[observationman]

@runtismaximus That's how you act? You call me a name because we don't agree on music? That is funny!

[oaksycamore]

@observationman

Id like to hear more bout your deeply intellectual "observations"

and no man im not saying that so i can have some good laughs AT YOU(im being sarcastic douche)

[jimbalaya99]

@observationman I gotta ask. What do you listen to that appeals to your soul and guts? I bet you jack off to Justin Beiber.

[TheSheephoarder]

@observationman Now, I'm not gonna go calling you a fag, and I normally hate when people argue about dumb shit on youtube.

But get your head out of your ass. These guys are SO GODDAMN JAMMIN.

[smokefire01]

@observationman modern radio played music is pathetic but these guys can play i've seen about a dozen of there shows and they amaze me everytime every show is original and they never fail to get the entire crowd moving and to say the music doesn't speak to the soul proves youdon't listened to the music

[nickelisio]

@observationman

Successful troll is successful.

5/10

[adamschmidt88]

@killtheidealis it's all rhythm man...how long have you been playing?

[lbpledger]

thanks again danny for filling in wat was the 09 fever tour, hope ya'll get restless again this winter

[alexpetro27]

This is a John Hartford song!!

[killtheidealist]

anybody have any advice on how to do the rhythmic slapping for the guitar part while strumming the chords? i can't get this down.

[recchem420]

@killtheidealist my advice is dont try and get it down. its a jam tune, make it your own

[jamaicabound123123]

i ran out

[killtheidealist]

if only more people gave bluegrass a chance!

[augustwest4558]

barnes , obrien and the yonder strings...awesome

[kevinlieb]

Besides the Yonder crew:

Danny Barnes = guitar

Tim O'Brien = fiddle

AWESOME!!

[HarpuaND84]

Holy lord!!!! I was at this show with the worst hangover ever. I remember sitting on the top level when they played this trying to drink a redbull and whiskey trying to cure the headache. Wow, this was my favorite part of this show and one of my favorite YMSB moments.

Drove in from Bloomington, IN from the Upland Brewery with my buddy and a gal and eventually the headache went away and Danny Barnes helped that. Thanks for the memories.

[shlamalama]

Danny Barnes!!

[mrhighpantz]

Best music evar <3

[recchem420]

[gangelone999]

[hotrize]

[trazzberry]

[tylerao]

Yonder is paving their own path, they are quite talented, and make you shake your ass on the regular. I love every show I see of theirs, and am blessed to live 30 minutes from Horning's Hideout, and have been to every String Summit. If you have not seen these boys, you are missing out

[TheTilson999]

[lukeVmcneese]

I have had the pleasure of attending the NWSS, and Horning's is a special place!

[mrc180]

[Bd1ddy1]

Killer Vid...Seeing em next week, totally stoked.

[phriendlyphool]

Yonder got me into bluegrass but they don't hold a candle to guys like John Hartford who wrote this song

[pokesmoke16]

This is a John Hartford song people! I love Yonder, one of my favorite bands, but give respect where its due! Back in the goodle days

[tizzurk12]

Best video ever

[YurpleBliss]

Thanks!

[ausyjames]

Favorite song by Yonder by far!

[kem828]

I would just like to comment that this is a cover of John Hartford's "Holding" off of Aereoplain... My favorite "newgrass" album ever released. See if you can find a copy, its quite fantastic

[SwitzerlandStudios]

A-men everyone on the earth should hear this album at least once.

[Saygrace67]

Everyone should listen to John Hartford at least once to experience what the experience of living is all about!

[SwitzerlandStudios]

Amen Brother/Sister... Theres a video on here of John piloting a boat and playing fiddle/banjo for some passengers... If you haven't seen it, i'd recommend watching it immediately.

[beakwithteeth]

With Tim O'Brien and Danny Barnes. Hell yeah!

[chinacatsunflower420]

gosh, what a killer song! anytime YMSB comes within 200 miles of me, i jsut have gotta see them. anyone else who enjoys fast-ass bluegrass, kind people and bumpin' ho-downs i suggest should see them live...NOW!!
