[happydays450]

the cd collection is alot better, then this but, good song al the same

[happytheboy]

My Old Friend The Blues....man!

[tmt923]

sax player with an eye patch !!!!!!!!!!!!

[jammergirl88]

I'm correcting my comment before somebody does, he sings about the '67 chevy in the song someday.....

[jammergirl88]

he sings about a black 67 in nowhere road i love chevy's and i love all steve's tunes....

[Bobmoore2000]

This sing has similar guitar chords to a song recorded in 1969 by 1910 Fruitgum Company - Indian Giver.

[bigwatto95]

She's a bitch. No wonder no one remembers who she is.

[dawnjakeleah]

I agree with you all about Joy's comments. But she is a comedian and her favorite comment is "so what, who cares?". I am on Steve's side here and wish she would've given him more consideration for his talent, which she sorely lacks.

[MICHELEMEENA]

ok..........so this woman (C) is an asshole............but she doesn't even make a memorable dent on the talent of Steve Earle..............who the fuck remembers her?!?!? and he is STILL making incredible music.......what??? 20 something years later

[dawnjakeleah]

@MICHELEMEENA I think she would cringe at her hair today - Steve's looks better than hers. hah

[OGKush2010]

Anyone else think that guy on the electric guitar thing (what is that, it sounds like i need one lmao) looks like an awful tribute act/look-a-like?

[Darry4645]

I believe I am unofficially in the Steve Earle fan Club. Saw him with Greg Trooper at City Winery a few months ago. Make another cd with Greg, Steve.

[JCMIMPERSONATOR]

Don't have clue how many roads RIGHT THERE STEVE!

[Darry4645]

Actually, joy has aged better than Steve. Still love him though.

[ajferet]

@Darry4645 Six wives will do that to you

[nilradem]

@ajferet

Not to mention heroin and crack.

[Darry4645]

Definitely, it's Joy! Haha sought get ol' Steve to come up to Midtown for The View!

[hailhail85]

classic!!!

[dafunker00]

Id pay to see her get slapped.

[bacelines]

lol they steel my boots. He's a cool guy.

[MountainGyspy]

She sounds like she's from the east coast, and trying to sound like she's from the blessed south! lol

[whitecloud1980]

Chevy all the way.

[woodzo40]

@whitecloud1980 You got that damn right. 

[ajferet]

I want Steve to write a song about a Ford... Also, the Saxophonist with one eye=badass

[Anaheimfan]

@ajferet I can hear the words floating through my speakers now (to the tune of sweet lil 66) "My Fuckin Old Rebuilt Dodge" "Well she's a fuckin pig on gasoline she burns too much oil, but she was built Ford tough, now it rusts in the soil....My Fuckin Old Rebuilt Dodge"

[CLEZDADDY]

Can you PLEASE re-post this into two separate videos, and do everything possible to eliminate Joy Behar as much as possible?

[photoartists]

Great video- gotta love the sax solo- that would be a one time thing eh. Classic Steve

[Anaheimfan]

Is this the only copy of this song on youtube?

[robhsmi]

this ladies an idoit.the musics awesome.

[TheMightyGusset]

Great video, and yep, Steve's in good voice.

I have to disagree with him being 'healthy' though - his eyes look a little 'spaced' to me.

Still, his drug problems haven't killed him, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[mengle2004]

Income tax are going and I'm goinga paint it black...I like that.

[LTmattYT]

lol he looks like meat loaf in this

[rorygg1]

she is an old tired piece

[dawnjakeleah]

That looked like Joy Behar.  Love you Steve!!!!!!!!!!!

[ojicreewarcry]

wut a fukn kunt...nuff sed.

[drjh20]

Isnt that the lady Joy from theVIEW???

[gjc82071]

@drjh20 That is what I was going to ask. I am pretty sure it is her.

[jordanthecat]

"My Old Friend The Blues" is a great song, and this video shows me how to play it. Thanks for posting!

[tmiller72]

Nothing like a saxaphone to ruin a great song.

[resobill]

How about that electric guitar interlude at 6:06 - 7:05??

[resobill]

actually 6:40-7:05

[callmepattycakes]

plus he has an eyepatch

[sawtoothdan]

@tmiller72 I couldn't agree more. I don't know why but I just can't stand the sound of a saxophone in a rock or country song. It just sounds cheesy. I don't expect everyone to agree, but I'm glad you do. Cheers.

[gjc82071]

I agree, but I LOVE Sax, well, in Jazz music of course. BTW, what the hell ever happened to the Saxophone? They are like MIA, on the back of milk cartons & shit. You heard it quite a bit in the 50's, then it was MIA for 20yrs, but made a little comeback in the 80's. I haven't heard sax on 1 single top 10 song, in the last 20yrs!

BTW, that chick is annoying. Steve was probably thinking "I never hit girls, but in this case, I would gladly make an exception". Snooty, uppity ass, nasal, bitch.

[biterandbladeshow]

i h8 that cow she talks as he is stupid

[kiely]

@biterandbladeshow

|@akf2005

i thjink that Joy Behar (The View) is doing just fine

[dawnjakeleah]

@biterandbladeshow He is FAR from stupid

[xroads64]

totally rick derringer...good call

[trolls1987]

...umm isnt that Rick Derringer playing lead?...

[AcrossfromtheAlamo]

The interviewer is Joy Behar now with Barbara Walters, Woopie Goldberg on THE VIEW. btw, she was pumping the ozone full of CFCs wiht the hairspray content of that doo! Steve working for the MCA back then putting up with mucho b.s.

[princesslehaha]

Well, you can't blame her for flirting with him... if I'd been her, I would've shut down the show and dragged him back to the green room ; )

[082076]

fkn A. sitting here listening with my family and actually had to splain that he was singing about a car...they thought he was jamming bout a chicka, Ha, its about a wicked car! rock!

[agfk08]

thanks rich

all the best

barrowlands.

[lowbridgehit]

good for her that he doesnt hit girls.

[annettekurten]

how bloody rude is she??????????

[darlincommitme]

Very rude... and it looked like she picked a piece of hair off his shirt at the beginning. Going back to do some voodoo?

(That said, he doesn't seem to mind flirting.)

[Aleboy40]

i cant save this version in my playlist because of that skank hole dyke sry lesbians but she makes me sick try to find a better version tnks steve earle u rule

[TD4WD]

Christ that would've been fucking funny if he just belted her one and then went straight into My Old Friend The Blues.

[michaeleffmeredith]

He should have just smacked her upside the head with that J-185. Why Gibson doesn't offer that guitar with a standard finish in black anymore is beyond me.

[marlowman]

Behar has been an idiot for many years. That's what I learned from this. I was already familiar with Earle, who comes acroos well.

[coolmamac]

This host is Joy Bahar from THE VIEW.

[ImWithTheTide]

That's Joy Behar from The View's iggnorant ass,

Steve Rules

[wabzeebo2]

Stupid bitch of a host - a great response from Steve, one of the most crushingly beautiful country songs ever written. Saw him live a few years ago - a true and absolute legend.

[send2meez]

thanks unrepentant 42!!!!

[LunaCat59]

i am having such a great time today finding all these old clips of things i haven't seen in years. i adore this man!

[Popcorn634]

cool

[Arcticwolfette]

Steve is awesome...love his stuff

[akf2005]

that lady is dumb as hell.  she is probably ashamed of herself today. steve has much class

[drjh20]

@akf2005 -Isnt she Joy from THE VIEW???

[kiely]

@akf2005

i thjink that Joy Behar (The View) is doing just fine

[mengle2004]

@akf2005 Is this chick on the view or something? God I hate her.

[Free1108]

@mengle2004 Yes; that is Joy Behar and I don't know why ya'll can't see that they are flirting big time. I betcha something happened after the show :) Steve is beautiful here; healthy and in good voice. It was not long after this at all ('92) that he got very sick from the drugs and if not for prison; he would probably not be with us. Such a blessing; he has so much talent and such a big heart I would hate to have lost him...he is a giving and caring individual and truly awesome musician!!!

[awsonja1955]

I worked for Steve in the late eighties,,One awesome man,,His talent and song writing skills are incredible.I regret I did not tour with him then as I had the chance. My old friend the blues,shows his talent

[mbsnyderc]

Thanks for posting this. It's Hard To find a Good video Of my Old Friend The Blues.And from Steve's early years.

[alphuez]

Happily, Steve rises above the banality of his host and produces a stunning version of My Old Friend the Blues (and Sweet Little 66 is one of my favorites anyway -- played it for my 17 year-old son tonight, who professes to "hate country music", and he smiled!).

Terrific interview between songs as well -- despite the half-lame questions, really gives you a sense of the guy's core identity, and why he's the Real Deal.

Huge thanks for posting this, (other)unrepentant!

[princesslehaha]

He dedicated this song to Jeff Healy last night at Massey Hall in Toronto... *sigh*

[robreed3]

I didn't know Jeff Healy died.

[princesslehaha]

Sunday... the song I meant by the way was My Old Friend The Blues, not '66'.

[dhosquet]

saw him in Montreal last night!!! Awesome. His new stuff may be his best yet. But he sprinkles in a little of the past too! Enjoy the shows.

[RhondaInToronto]

Going to the Toronto concert March 4! YEE HAH!

[princessofhesse]

hey toronto...i am going to the Minneapolis show on March 9....11 days!!!

[BrandNewToYou]

I can't help but understand why this show wasn't a hit. The guests (steve earle in my mind was awesome) ...but the host blows....view or not.

I dunno...just my opinion.

[lowbridgehit]

I wonder if she kept that hair she picked off his shirt at 3:04. He looked down as if to say, "what the hell?"

[princessofhesse]

yeah, she was kinda gross...not that i could blame her for wanting to grab hold of that boy...but, gee, at least pretend to be calm....

[princessofhesse]

love it! maybe not Joy Behar, but the video is incredible and one of my early favorites from this incredible guy!!

thanks rich, as always you fine incredible stuff.....

[lowbridgehit]

that joy is annoying. never saw a sax with Steve before....

[princessofhesse]

gotta post again....lowbridge, she is more than annoying....and, yeah, the sax just doesn't do it for me either, brings back bad memories of Bill Clinton, ha!!

[robreed3]

I kinda like the sax. My only question is what happened to his eye?

[isocom]

Is that Joy Behar from The View? I'd love to see the conversation they'd have today.

[princessofhesse]

i hadn't watched "My Old Friend the Blues," before my last post...have to say that's beautiful, too, one of my all time favorites of his....gorgeous song, gorgeous boy...
