excuse me while i break my own heart

[kristinangelique]

thank you so fucking much for uploading this and sharing it - yay!

[jmdbb]

In STL true concert goers hate Beatle Bob. He pushes his way to the front, pushing people out of the way that waited in line to get those spots. He acts like a jackass, and has been banned from many venues for allegedly stealing things, including a hilarious story involving Cicero's and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

[littlestar3103]

awwww - goodness me - this is AWESOME!!!......

[juicemcnorway]

Stop by my hand to listen to my band coving Ryan Adams songs. Thanks Ya'll

[spookyoyster]

Who's the stupid fool dancing in the back??!!

[aimz54901]

Beatle Bob RULES!

[MrBrewtastic]

no way dude. He rules

[ThKattmann]

It's in STL, OH Well.

[AlternativeIdiot25]

Beatle Bob...you're an embarrassment to Beatles...possibly even Beetles...

[Zendrix3]

damn, WT had a Bosstone that did nothing but dance lolz. haha

[runninfiend]

their best song.

[michelleroche]

This is awesome. Check out Ken Will Morton for a similar sound, he's amazing.

[mcschmidt84]

Ryan was 23 years old here...

[stina20a]

@mcschmidt84 If only now... LOL. :P I'm 23. Not that it's the age difference that matters - more Mandy and the wedding band

[IloveRA74]

Yes I'm being anal about it but he was 22 because he hadn't had his birthday yet that year. Haha, Shut up me.

[mcschmidt84]

Haha, very anal!!!!

[domanico2201]

who the fuck is beatle bob?

lol

cool seeing ryan way back in the day though

[SirCosmoBonsor]

beatle bob is a penis

ryan is a god

[brianchylinski]

see my page for "turnaround" by Whiskeytown

[snuffyigngp]

Beatle Bob was going to whiskeytown

[9midwestern9]

You gotta get the original Mood Food version of Faithless Streets. It blows away the re-mixed Outpost version by far.

[SniperCrom1971]

whiskeytown were and still are fooookin brilliant!!!

[ViolentChapati]

Dang, that Beatle Bob can move! Love it. And great performance from Ryan Adams and the band. I haven't really heard much of the Whiskeytown stuff, but I'm going to buy some of their albums after seeing this.

[jimmyhyhat]

great moment

[sundriedopossum]

thanks for posting!

[LuckySavvy]

great song!

[LuxeXx]

that dancing guy reminds me of my English friend James at a concert. He can't dance but he doesn't care...

[Scumby]

hahahah Beatle Bob

[Beanoismycat]

ryan is in shape and not a skinnt ninny, that doesnt change the fact that i love him

[daisyzoozoo]

ive never seen dancing quite like that. . . . .

[rolsson138]

I'm not sad anymore i'm just drunk. lol

[magicpie77]

WHO is the dancing man? looks like he's about to whip ryan with a jump rope or something. very distracting!

[daisyzoozoo]

it is sooo distracting. i cant stop staring at him if i watch this.

[teeheeteeheeish]

@magicpie77 its beetle bob, lol look him up

[musicalchainsss]

i think beatle bob has just become my idol.

[baronl]

Beatle Bob's a nuisance for people trying to enjoy the show.

[ColdRoses]

disagree. If beatle bob's around it means you're having a good time.

[magicpie77]

please clarify, is this Ryan Adam's old band? Sorry, the video quality is pretty bad so I can't tell. thanks.

[BarlenC1]

Yes he only plays this song with his old band. He very rarely plays music that crosses bands if you get what i mean.

[curefreak]

Who's the dancing jack-ass?

[canntspel]

beetle bob...wtf is up w/ that guy?

[moegolden]

I had to google Beatle Bob -thankfully there is a wikipedia entry.

[InsultingPete]

Shit!

[masurra]

I didn't like the album version of this song very much, one of the weaker ones IMHO, but the shorter accustic one on the deluxe album is awesome

[HexusMaximus]

ahhh no, this tune is gorgeous. need to get me the deluxe edition though by the sound of it.

[Homer20065305111]

wat

[sierrakia]

what's with the wierd dancing man

[ImportanceOfWhatever]

mutton chops!

[MrSuedoldenburg]

god, this band was so huge

[txtodd70]

Want to create a fake id and rank it Awesome again!

[tookool4school]

does anyone else have the same theory that he was simply born amazing?

[steviebotss]

yea pretty much

[pavement27]

The man is fascinating...

[jan4us]

as an Uncle Tupelo fan, i picked up "Strangers Almanac" in the used CD bin - my into to Ryan about 13 years ago - blew me the fuck away!

[hellofromfw]

I wonder if Beetle Bob is still around. I used to see him all the time at South by Southwest in Austin.

[phunkyglass]

yes he is still around

[spilledwhiskey]

Would write you all back personally but...

Finally got the Jamen Brooks videos posted. Peace

[jratcli]

awesome!

thanks for posting these vids. too bad i wasn't into RA in 7th grade.

[bears2485]

this is the best whiskeytown song

[1thefallen]

i like inn town =P

[noellennon]

Them Ryan sideburns are still scorching.

[jpsherfy]

These guys could be just incredible live.....thanks for posting this....

[clownassmckenzie]

'Strangers Almanac', Wilco's 'Summerteeth' and Jamen Brooks 'Sleepyhead' are my favorite alt-country albums of all time.

[proffessionalbaddass]

All I know is that if i was Ryan Adams there, with Beetle Bob doing shit like that behind me, I would have freaked out and like punched him in the face or some shit.

[gbgkille24]

oh yeah?? maby it´s because u have no sense of humor, what so ever!!

[JBaxter3rd]

I can't see the guy so well but I think I saw that Bob guy at The Americana Awards Festival at The Basement in Nashville this past year.Hard to forget something like that.

[bpldjgetc]

rockin' burns ryan.

[Haemorrhoiden]

good song bad quality

[zyrthec]

excuseee meee whileee i breaakk my ownnn heart 2nite... x'D this band is cool

[CHEEKDAWG]

I thought that was a drunk David Rawlings dancing around

[AintNoEasyWay]

Beetles Bob was from St Louis maybe? i dunno, but he went to shows all the damn time and danced like that if they liked it lol. He recently passed away so long live Beetle Bob!

[chipdevourer]

no he didnt you dumbass

[beavisHchrist]

Beatle Bob? hahaaa cooL

[hdoew101]

Beatle Bob is a fucking idiot, go shoot yourself. You not funny!!!!

[jezmez68]

I've heard of that Beatle Bob guy. Dude, get over yourself.  No one pays to see a band so they can see you act like a dork. You add nothing.

[keghorn]

who the hell is beatle bob?

[simondulwich]

I love the album, it's probably the best ever recorded. But who the fcksocks is that nonce on stage next to Ryan? He's like a shit version of Bez. And Bez was shit to start with. Oh Ryan, you do this to us on purpose don't you.

[seans10]

LOL re Bez. I was thinking the same thing.

[knewdorn]

I love the way he moves

and the way the light plays upon his hair

but most of all I like the way he smiles

[wildshovel]

Yeah, Beatle Bob is something else.

[bushido39]

beatle bob is a wild man

he's seen more shows than i've lived days

[scbasteve17]

beatle bob is EVERYWHERE

[jayhawks69]

definitely better than RA solo....

pease, REUNION- Tour!!

[ElsahDotNet]

I shot this at the HighPointe in STLMO. WT and Hazeldine opened for the Old 97's. frickin' great show!

[Shawntbell]

The Hi Pointe, RIP, thank you, I was wondering where.

[Wildflower70]

Awesome, Dianne!

[aheaton19]

I may be missing the appeal of "Beatle Bob," but man, wasn't Whiskeytown great?

[rayhilario408]

fucking beatle bob...

[jimmyp37]

in my stupid opinion Stranger's ALmanac ranks up there with anything ever put on record

[KakkoiiNY]

agree

[KakkoiiNY]

agree

[curefreak]

that's not stupid my friend that is indisputable truth !

[jadyte991]

this is awesome. any whiskeytown vid is precious.

i've met beatle bob at a couple of concerts, and sometimes i find myself looking at him from time to time bc his dancing is just hilarious.

[cosnerm]

Goddamn - they were a great band.

[IloveRA74]

I couldn't believe it when I was searching for Ryan/Whiskeytown stuff and saw who I just learned was "Beatle Bob" but who I knew at that extremely goofy tall guy that was BLOCKING MY VIEW the whole time when I saw Ryan in concert last month. He's funny for a while, but then it gets old. They should make him dance in the back so he doesn't distract people or block their view.

[faithfulshooter]

Ugh, the only Whiskeytown video on youtube and it is infested by that piece of shit Beatle Bob. It's too bad Whiskeytown broke up, because they were definitely better than solo Ryan Adams.

[medianne]

i'll try to get more of this show up sometime later this month. just don't have time now. and i'll do it better quality. :)

[Bizzy49565]

@medianne it's time :D

[wildshovel]

Man, I am so grateful to finally see a Whiskeytown video anywhere on the net that I hate to even mention this, but I will: Beatle Bob's self-indulgent fanboy dancing is just so damn annoying. Not only is he irritating to watch, but you can see that he's distracting the band so much that what would have / should have been an awesome performance turns out to be merely adequate.

Graphic evidence why rabid guy fans should never be allowed on stage.

[medianne]

actually he's the reason i posted the clip. i needed to show an example of beatle bob with ryan.

[theadiashow]

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Thank you! Got any more where that came from??

[berkleejam]

Man, that dude behind Ryan is going crazy.

[medianne]

yeah... that's beatle bob.

[inboilsideath]

Finally is right! Look at the Guided by Voices video for more Beatle Bob.

[berkleejam]

FINALLY! An actual Whiskeytown video on YouTube!

THANK YOU!!!
