Railroad Earth playing Grateful Dead's Casey Jones

[easy2foley]

AHHHHWOWOOWOWOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!­!!!!

[guitarvocs]

Love the breakdown at the end. Traditionally not my fave Dead tune, but I feel the energy in it and it's so nice to hear somebody wringing some cool stuff out of it. Oh, wait, the ending kind of stinks. :) Oh, well, Jerry used to forget the words and we're all still here, except for him, which also stinks. God bless the Grateful Dead, and Railroad Earth, and us every one.

[leahywj]

Love it! The legacy lives on.

[jx14aby]

Makes me wanna sit back and sip whiskey.

[irsjack]

These guys are great but I must lend my personal thanks to atom dragon the self proclaimed sage of all musical wisdom. the person who tells all who and what to watch as well as how to think. must have gotten his/her fine art degree either at Berkley School of music or Juliard. Most of us really appreciate your wisdom spilling all over everyone's nice comments. Peace. by the way "judge not lest ye be judged." (metallica and some other book you've probably never heard of) :-)

[Radar4361]

very awesome i love these guys r great

[gratefullydead67]

dude the violin at the end. Work it out boys!

[taosjeff1961]

WE LOVE YOU ALL AGES AND ALL PEACE AND LOVE WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

[meowmixxxer]

Love the banjo inclusion in this song.

[irsjack]

Introduced to the band 3 years ago in Denver. Disciple ever since - last seen in Seattle - so much fun to see 600 + people dropping their lattes to get off their a@@es and on the floor - great venue. Latest album best yet - peace and blessings to all the hobos out there! Drive the golden spike. Black Elk drives home a point to all of us plus some really great instrumentals!

[darthgata]

17- saw em yesterday, BEAST, Mandolin baby

[rabbitnosekid]

Seein them in a couple days, sure hope they play this.

[bobbrosenbaum]

ahhhhhhhh makes me so happy

they are so cool

[TheChiFinest]

People on here giving kids shit about listening to bad music? If you have ever been to a music festival, that railroad earth is included in, the main age group is 16-24 so, if you ask me the 40 year old house mom is the one associated with american idol not an 18 year old.

[taosjeff1961]

Sorry AtomicDragon71....

Get over your judgements. You watch IDOL or you wouldn't know so much about it. Me, maybe saw 1/2 episode once. Love music. Love people. Love all ages. Get over it. You can't say who can and will listen to what. Maybe you like tv commercials. I dont. I like music and people and harmony and love and unity and multi generations loving and dancing and living together. There is no generation gap, never was, all a lie, propaganda...Just play the music and LOVE!

[TheLazylightning420]

fuck yea smoke a joint to this

[1NickDelle1]

I love this shit, man and I'm just 16. I live for the jam you know?

[Oldhat1970]

Their "live" sound is actually spectacular! Props all the way around for these guys and everything they do...this is some good stuff!

[bobbrosenbaum]

[hereitis69]

haha thats funny, iv been really diggin O.C.M.S and then i found these guys! wow i think way better! but you cant beat wagon wheel!

[Halliday7895]

haha yea whered you find out about them? I got an Email for Phil Lesh and Bob Weir from live nation. they suggested Railroad Earth. But I was listenin to a bunch of Old Crow and Ryan Adams....but these guys are proficient on a whole new level!!

[shal0mnurh0me]

great! just found out about this band. Been stuck on Old Crow Medicine Show but i think I've got a new one now

[sjbonadonna]

@shal0mnurh0me Dont know if your a local folk but Todd Schaefer used to have a GREAT band in the 90's From Good Homes. They are a little more Jam band than the RRE but what a show. They are playing in Montclair NJ after a 10 year layoff, The Wellmont Theatre. GOOD GOOD TIMES!!

[shal0mnurh0me]

Acutally I'm not a local, I'm out in CA. But do they have an album out that I could listen to?

[josh2daoohaah]

Now that is what I cal a cover

[rideorado]

Railroad Earth is the greatest!

[josh2daoohaah]

GoOOOOOodDDEeeaaaammmmMMMNN!

[WolfgangZiggy]

I like what David Byrne had to say when he interviewed himself for "stop making sense" he asked the question, some people say you don't have a good voice what do you say to that? subsequently he answered "the more the beautiful the voice, the harder it is for people to believe what he's saying. But anyways, what the heck are you talking about, he's hitting the notes and it sound sincere. blah blah blah

[AtomicDragon71]

You're only 18 and don't know any better. Stick to American Idol, keep listening to all that overproduced junk and people who only sound good in a studio. I guess to you it only matters if the voice and the artist is pretty and not the meaning of the song.

[MindfulFuture]

@AtomicDragon71 Sadly, many youngsters haven't been exposed to great music and don't take the initiative to look further on their own:( Then are those who have and still prefer something else. I was lucky and was raised around an eclectic mix and have learned that it's the sincerity and honesty of the artform that is the only thing that matters. The rest is personal taste. I just hope kids keep their ears and heart/mind's open to new sounds.

[jpmaster53]

@AtomicDragon71 The Grateful Dead live through the new mouths

[darthsader1]

@AtomicDragon71 youre a dumb ass dude, let people listen to what they want, plus what are you talkign about meaning of the song? if you are into the dead or any band like them you should know that the actual music is waht really matters not the meaning. music is supposed to be heard, you can put meanings into it and thats cool but that has nothing to do with the sound

[jackydoesit]

@darthsader1 If you really love the grateful dead you would know the meanings behind Robert Hunter's (or Barlow) lyrics are just as deep as the emotion Jerry puts into playing.

I hear where you're comming from but the meaning behind a dead song is what makes it timeless for all ages to come

[patiencecoral]

beautiful! I *heart* Railroad Earth.

[KyrionMyrthar]

Wish they'd play this again. Best damned band out there today.

[babakguitar]
