Joe Ely at Tribeca Rock 'n Roll Club NYC

what an awesome show- wish i could have seen it in person.

Doctherooster (what a great nic!) if you had been there, you would have witnessed one of the best performances ever by Ely. It was one of those rare magical nights when the performer and the audience are just bouncing energy off of each other.

I think i captured some of that in this short video and will be forever glad i was able to film it and have it to view again and again.

What a great performance and some of his best songs! Thanks for posting this wonderful vid.

ELY has released a new acoustic CD called 'Live Cactus!' with JOEL GUZMAN. These two songs as well White Freight Liner Blues (one of my faves) are on it. If you're a fan, this one is a MUST HAVE! If you love this video, you will love the CD!

One of Joe Ely's fans should post his version of "The Road Goes on Forever" from his Love and Danger album--far and away the best version of the song I've heard.

[spiritbearNY]

Huesofgreen, someone has. Check out fellow member brettdillon - he uploaded a live performance video of Joe singing it with Joel Guzman and Lloyd Maines.

[huesofgreen]

Thanks, but that's only a portion of the song, and the audio quality is poor. If you get a chance, listen to the cut on Love and Danger. It's a knockout--a true work of musical art.

Joe is in my top ten of cats, along with jimmie, butch, Nick Lowe, Robyn Hitchcock, Jesse Winchester, Iggy Pop, Warren Zevon etc.

Usual High Torque Ely with the Joe Lubbock style that will never be copied!

That Ely-Guzman combo is about as powerful as you can get. Ely has captured the true essence of "Where is my Love?" better than he's ever done it before. Thanks for posting this.

Joe Ely and Joel Guzman = Duo made in heaven.

[spiritbearNY]

Oh yeah, wolfgirl, and they were smokin' that night. I will always, always remember that show as one of the most uplifting and wonderful music moments i have ever experienced. Joel Guzman and Ely were so musically in synch that night that i'd have sworn they were siamese twins.

I'm a big fan of Joe Ely and the Flatlanders. Thanks so much for posting. It's great!

[spiritbearNY]

You're very welcome! Believe it or not, this was my first time seeing Joe Ely perform. I was blown away and i have not looked back since. I've seen him every time he has been in NYC either alone or with the Flatlanders. Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock are no slouches either. :)

[spiritbearNY]

It's me, i just want to add that this was my first time ever using a cam. There was a huge crowd the night Joe Ely played and there was that electric connection between the audience and the performer - pure magic. If you like music, you know what i'm talking about. I hope you enjoy this video. Joe Ely and the Flatlanders are amazing.
