[yamahschector]

[jmnorvell]

[rhymepays]

[DLRisVH]

[ve3kiu]

"When in doubt, look to the Gord!"

Awesome

[omegalipsis]

Sam Roberts it's kinda Jesus look alike

[thechelseaplumber]

sounds like a young boy singing a young mans song.......

[rxc128]

Another airhead artist that just buys the global warming bullshit shovelled at him.

Playing for an audience full of usefull idiots.

[kelly0398]

@rxc128

just antoher douche bag looking for attention. here it is. fuck you

[finallykickinback]

Now this is good.

[Rapture456]

Sam Roberts is perhaps the best contemporary artist in the world right now. I had pretty much given up on modern music but Sam has restored some of my faith.

[beefcakebronze]

i can't stop watching this. it's just so folky and awesome!!

[TheDuke974]

first time ive heard this guy, not bad, not bad at all, mint voice

[islaeve100]

i would warm his feet up and give him a cuppa after all that travelling.

[TheBcormier]

I know why......it is a tammy influence!........nicely done!

[FolkTree7]

wow! wonderful voice!

[111oooo]

Great, thanks Sam.

[WPAandthewolf]

Sam is so into it. It's fucking such a real, effective, fantastic cover.

gives me chills up my spine

[iluvhockeycardz1316]

Good try Sam - that was pretty cool! Great to hear the young ones keeping the music going like this!

[ProudlyFree]

that's so smooth

[bababooey7576]

one legend, one future legend...BOTH Canadian...

[SeeYouinHollywood]

Best Cover I've heard in a very long time.

Gordon Lightfoot is truly a folk legend

[blackdogleg]

great job thanks sam keeping gord fresh

[siomig]

He's not bad, but he's nowhere near Gordon Lightfoot; at least he proved he has respect for the true greats.

[scarletred88]

sam roberts singing gordon lightfoot.. thats a combo made in heaven.

[trevorduvall]

Who is sam roberts?

[h0n3yb4dg3r]

@trevorduvall One of the best Canadian artists out there, that's who

[trevorduvall]

@h0n3yb4dg3r Never heard of him but then again I pretty well stopped listening to anything current since 1994 when Cobain died maybe I'll check out some of his stuff...

[jordaanOne]

the world simply doesnt appreciate how amazing sam is yet

[hyacinthh]

i completely agree. i kinda feel like he's canada's best kept (semi-)secret :)

[Superfreak69ing]

they will dont worry

[ShadySidebury]

I've not heard of Sam Roberts, but I've loved Gord's original version of "Steel Rail" for a long time, and I didn't expect this to be half as good- to my surprise, it's great.

[forbesfoofighters]

sam roberts is one of the purest musicians he is so great and a hometown hero where im from

[tardwhisperer]

BULLSHIT.

[forbesfoofighters]

homo^^^

[trevorduvall]

Aye!

[openroad88]

Ha! Global Warming...nothing but hot air.

[mooganz]

LOL sam has NO haters, understandably :)

[norsefire13]

oh my god. sam roberts is god! i saw him live and it was fantastic! i wish hed played this song though. this song kicks ass.

[19neal70]

Great to see a modern troubador covering one by a legend!

[zack1720]

he yells why not

[bigwhiskey1973]

i think sam is the only one who can do this song as good or better then gord !

[imusbcraz]

Gord is the man....thanks Sam. :)

[tucks888]

what does the guy yell at the beginning after sam says he doesn't know why he's doing a song by gordon lightfoot?

p.s. sam roberts is absolutely amazing, makes me even more proud to call myself a canadian.

[thefool1234]

he said "why not"

[vamptasticnatalie]

awesome sam roberts solo: watch my vids

[encorrall]

Great job But it's funny how some people make errors when doing covers. The end is something like "the big steel rail WON'T carry me home to the one I love. He lost his ticket. Right.Love this song though.

[theOtherkid0]

he is so like.. normal lol. like hes down to earth and his music is so amazing.

[dirkdoggler]

WOW- Da' MOFO does a real compliment to Gordon! :D

[tbirdky]

Sam Roberts is the champion of all things real and imaginary.

[TheOxRocks57]

[tylertjp]

That was an awesome cover.

[stealingTHEspotlight]

It's funny when he says "When in doubt, look to the Gord."

Haha.

[Bongotheband]

Are there any other Sam Roberts live videos with this quality?

[111oooo]

Love Gordon Lightfoot, great songwriter and Sam did a great job on this song.

[bluedvr2005]

hell, I'm a straight male and I'd do'em

[Whatsername755]

"When in doubt look to the Gord" haha <3. I really enjoyed this performance. He's really good live.

[jaanemandilbar]

Wow hes too attractive!

[skirdhu9]

Nice!

[ifinley68]

My friend turned Sam onto Lightfoot at a CMW after party in a Toronto hotel room. True story.

[ronfake1]

My friend turned Sam onto funny looking beige toques and fuzzy side burns.

[bluedvr2005]

My friend turned Sam onto playing guitar. Before that,he would play an accordian. My friend said" accordians arent cool anymore, dude" True story.

[wisersryewhiskey]

My friend built Sam Roberts out of household ingredients on a bet I made him. He was supposed to build Gord Downie but he said that was unoriginal and Sam Roberts turned out really cool, so I paid him anyway.

[AllixHatesYouToob]

Thats fucking hilarious.(Except that theres nothing unoriginal about building Gordon Downie out of household ingredients)

[wisersryewhiskey]

except the ingredients... unless you consider new kinds of Tide or one-of-a-kind limited edition hammers to be original.

[joefaught]

This is amazing! Hope it ends up on Sam's next album.

[curtq]

where's your better job?

[jfitz691]

thats how the song is sung...i dont like it...but thats how it is, so leave it alone.

[juliegillis]

The only problem with this video is, that it ends...I could listen to Sam forever!!

[wcd47]

As a long standing fan of Lightfoot. I'm 55 been following him since 65'.. And your GREAT...Enough said.

[nojo2007]

Sam, if you ever happen to read this...your version of that song was insperational and moving. I loved it.

[JordanStrople]

This vid is one 24 and a hockey fight away from being the most Canadian thing ever. Love it!

[CanadaJams]

Sam Roberts & Gordon Lightfoot, two great Canadian artists!

Good one Andre!

[rickenbacker01]

He definitely should play a Grey Cup half time show, theyy have been choosing American artists lately. I'd like to see a hard working Canadian artist like Sam play one.

[CanadaJams]

Hey... great to put that out there! Now that your be one Grey Cup half!!

[Boobyslayer1]

For You Carrie Marie

[RJGrones]

"When in doubt? Look to the Gord.."..! Great!..

[LeilaniRocks]

Gord rules. Nice job.

[goblue3011]

Couldn't agree more 111oooo...Lightfoot's writing never gets the proper credit. Nice job too, Sam.

[ZondaFSR]

Good job Sam!

[guitarman2214]

the big steel rail WONT carry him home...good job

[johhny1be1goode]

WOW, im really suprised about how good this cover is.

amazing cover of an amazing song!

[killerkyle1509]

Sam Roberts knows how to perform music , and so does Mr. Lightfoot. This was excellent!

[driedpeas]

how is the steel rail going to carry him home when he gambled his ticket away

[themartianmanhunter]

sam is great, lightfoot is great. great vid

[SheenaJ]

love it. Great video!

[stevoblog1]

Not familiar with Sam's music, but I like the rather Dylanesque presentation he gives of this very well-known Lightfoot tune. Gord and Bob would be proud.

[casscjd]

he is so unbelievably talented and good looking, i wanna marry himmm

[111oooo]

Great cover Sam. I love Lightfoot, most underrated songwriter in the world.

[LaTromboniste]

A very very good Lightfoot cover. I've heard some God awful ones, so...thank you. :)

[jackrcoco]

I Like it!!!You did it...
