SEASICK STEVE *LIVE*-2008 -MY DONNY- ON JOOLS HOLLAND

[tonymeademusic]

Two people don't have the blues.

[dalekenjarvis]

Was that Sir Paul in the audience @ 1:48 ?

[bengraeff1]

@dalekenjarvis Yes it is

[Tzurtep]

canned heat maybe?probably one of the best blues singers of all times.doesn't get stuck on theory, he just sings...

[Hemsetrollet]

wow, this man is so talented and he seem like such a nice person! im a real fan now!!! gona buy his album if i can get my hand on it in norway ;)

[vowsneo]

compair him to muddy waters and son house.... hes pure delta blues.

[mindscience2008]

Is that Sir Paul at 1:48?

[TheScrotom]

yea thats paul.

[lazymut]

well yeah steve is a star hes awesome but end of the day he identifies himself as a blues musician so hes gona get compared with the likes of king

[Tribaldragon73]

A shame that he's just now getting his due.

[tigergibbs]

hes just immense, defo getting his album thats just come out in England

[cbrboy76]

he aint trying to be bb king or hooker, dont compare, just enjoy the music.

[lazymut]

didnt say he was but he still calls himself a blues musician and yeah hes gona get compared with the likes of bb king

[Echioderm]

when will he come back to hootenanny!

I wish I could play like him, unfortunatley my slide ain't great at the mo!

[Devine2k8]

I love this song....its actually teasing..haha

[dillydean]

hells yea!!! what a gun =)

[ROCKYMARCIANOXX0]

Fuckin love this guy, brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jamesdebore]

fuck roy you cock smokers

[chaoticguitarist]

He doesn't try to be the best blues musician, he just plays his fuckin good stuff, I love this guy cause it's just pure emotion.

[stuiehuntie]

Amazing artist.....but you still can't beat the irish ledgend that is rory gallagher!!!!!

[sexyduck69]

too fucking rite

[greenharvester]

fuck rory irish cunt sea sick steve all the way

[stuiehuntie]

fuck you dude.......rory gallagher is a legend. But i will conciede that seasick steve is very very talented, and is the best blues artist alive.

[eddierainbow]

fucking foreigners, britain is by far the greatest place in the world. where r u from u cunt

[lazymut]

hes good. but listen to BB king or hooker theyre better!

[Dutchnavyengineer]

I've seen BB live alone and with U2, GREAT but I must say Seasick has a far better and more lively live show. Seasick Steve is a bloody GENIUS and a joy to watch!

[emmbee]

All you need is a voice, a guitar, and a good song to make a classic. Seasick Steve is the genuine article, the real deal. Unquestioned brilliance.

[robinwooder]

Hard Rock Calling !

27/06/09

From France ;)

[PeaceiHatetheword]

Sea Sick for PrimeMinister I'm Serious Come to the U.K Steve!!!

[sexyduck69]

and ireland he fucking rocks

[stevierayvaughan180]

i need get me one of them guitars and slide

[Littledragon385]

Seasick Steve is fantastic but Robert Johnson is in a league of his own.

[stevierayvaughan180]

Hmm Robert johnson beware

[gypwin]

he's made it at 67.check out another old 'un.check out gypwin

[howdenjackass]

he really just blows everyone out of the water, not many people have the same soul as him.

i normally listen to harder music but this blues just melts me.

[zeikoru]

i saw paul mccartney at 1:49

[colashanacogh]

yea! me too

[Matty73]

must be nice for McCartney to watch an actual ballsy musician . lets hope he learnt something. :)

[funkyfleabass]

Is he really getting that amazing sound out of a Roland cube?

[soulofshiver]

I know i've got the same one and i've never had it sounding that good

[DRAGONS147]

I Meant to sey Sea Sick Steve & the Level Devils (Cheap) recorded in norway. The Level Devils are norwegian.

[DRAGONS147]

What's this shit about sea sick playing a character & not himself? Who ever believe's that shit should be locked up in a mental asylum. This man is as real as it gets! Its all in his music people I for one believe everything that he says. U Just know by Him. Hes such a humble down to earth human being who got everythig late in life & U know what he deserve's it. He is what you call talented!!!

[nickw66]

him and jj cale cut an album would be great music. Two great artists.

[LemonRoss]

Stouffer54321, perhaps I was a little too quick to call you a waste of space. What I know about him I've read in Uncut and Mojo, didn't hear it from the BBC. Actually, I'm starting to think that you're taking the piss out of all of us who've responded to you. My guess is that you're pretending to be some dickhead who doesn't know what he's talking about just to get a reaction from me and whoever else. Am I right? Not that you'll let on or anything. But if I'm right, well done.

[stouffer54321]

The only thing any of you know about this guy is what The BBC have told you.Norwegian wife? Oh come on.Swedish support band?Really.Lives in Norfolk? What? And a conveniently uncheckable background of vagrancy in The US.

They wouldn't do a thing like that, make something up, he's real, like the whole John Sergeant pantomime

Eventually Joker Jools will let us all in on the gag, and you sad twats will pretend you knew all the time

If Beadle hadnt kicked it Id expect him to pull off the disguise

[dragonfitter]

hey you are american how do you know about beadl dont tell me he was popular in the us

[randall2708]

Tis guy can make some fucking good music.. eat tis shit pop-niggers & drink a thunderbird!!

[stouffer54321]

It's a character dumb asses, invented by the BBC: The British Bullshit Corporation

[router314]

Do some research

[LemonRoss]

Hi there, Stouffer54321. Listen, don't take this personally or anything, I'm sure it's not your fault, but you're a waste of space. Really. It's true. Sorry. I know I'm not the first to notice but I just thought I should tell you politely so that you can do something about it. Thanks.

[RetroGuy5000]

this guy is awsome saw him glastonbury he rocked!!

[1modernmessage]

hey me too! he woke me up at 10am ,was camped near the pyrmid stage

[RetroGuy5000]

yea thats where i was camped by but still tho it was amazing i loved it

[whigwood]

Look again - it's got six. It's his red semi-accoustic which has only three strings.

[mohanicus]

fuckin hell.

cant beleive that only a 3 string guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!

love this stuff.

robert johnson,rory gallagher,muddy waters,john lee hooker,ry cooder,chris smither,and seasick steve.

[Jerome112]

What the hell! Whats this song about, incest?

[benjaminpicard]

i believe hes saying my donna, not my daughter!!!

i thoght that to begin with aswell.

[Jerome112]

Thanks for clarifying.

[pencil08]

surely he's saying My Donny, since that's the name of the song...?

[benjaminpicard]

yes i was just pointing out to someone that he wasn't saying 'my daughter'

[RandomAccessPrgm]

he says my donny so fine . just coz he sings it and in a accent

[blade1953]

I saw him long before the new years eve on jools holland in oslo. an I knew that he was going to be the new fucking thing.And my friends where like ahhh he's just a bum and ignored him. Ironic???

[eireldn]

This guy is so cool.

[sugarydonkey]

Pretty hilarious that the hideous London wankers who go to see recordings of Jools Holland suddenly take a liking to box cart blues. Next they'll be nodding their heads to Coldplay.

[dannybrown15]

i fucking love this song!!!

[tim46256]

If you like this stuff then you should seek out the late great R L Burnside and see how it's really done.I'm not dissing Steve,I just think R L is better.

[SlashedUP1984]

Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, BB king...and seasick steve?

[MrUnknown07]

@SlashedUP1984 - BB's not Delta ;) Sea Sick has put his own flavour on it tho for sure. Hobo Delta haha. Hes brilliant.

[lazyness666]

to rite this is music come s from true life i can relate 2 good on ya m8 keep it seasick steve !

[jimmiacoustic]

this is music. love it.

[irishyetiboy]

this guy is fantastic!!! great music!!

[jakerfc92]

hes great makes his own guitars and every thing

[rbsmuffinman]

his 3 stringed trance wonder was given to him, it's some crappy japanese make...and his 1 strnged didly bow. i don't know about that guitar though

[ryemic]

it wasnt given to him watch the 14th related video and he explains all.

[rbsmuffinman]

lol you put thunmbs down on me? he didn't make it, but he put the strings on and decorated it. he didn't put the right strings in the right places either.

[karl198]

Don't thumbs down him.. He's telling the truth! it was given to him by his real life friend sherman who bought it for 25 dollars and sold him it for 50 :D and he promised never to put another string on it and keep it as it was with 3 strings

The diddley bow was made by him and his friend super chiken

[keltoi3000]

he bought the three string, he tells stories about it

[rbsmuffinman]

thanks karl, finally, someone who knows what they're talking about

[DARRYLWOOD]

This is a normal guitar, but with only three strings. It has an old Harmony pickup added (with duct tape) and is played tuned to G, G and B using an E string in the A position, a D in the G position and a G in the B position. At his gigs, he often tells the story that he bought it for $75 in this condition in Como, Mississippi from a man named Sherman, who later told him he only paid $25 for it the day before. Steve vowed never to add another string,

[DARRYLWOOD]

and that he would tour the world telling his story of how Sherman ripped him off.[7] All in good fun as Sherman is a good buddy. A lot of the time he also adds (while picking up or putting away the guitar) that it is the "...biggest piece of shit in the world, I swear". During recent performances, including his set at 2008's Latitude and also Leeds and Reading 2008, the guitar had only two strings.

[brindlewhelk]

Minus that poltice Suggs hacking away out of time at the back with a tambourine,...

Stick to the fishfingers Suggs...

You fucking ruined that vid - "Cut my wings SS Steve on Jools holland"

I'll kill you for that.

[Brazil7910]

the whitest black man around : ) love it

[lespaultommy]

fuck yes.

[bluesbliss1928]

he is the embodiement of blues this is what its alll about he use to busk n now hes famous i think him being homeless has forced him to feel the blues what a man

[johnjohn491]

sounds like hes saying 'my daughters so fine'...lol

[jazz4]

classic culture, this guy is so unoriginal, the "pure" delta-bluesmen suffered so much and wrote the most beautiful music which ended up being the foundation for contemporary music. hes talented but nothing special, people only listen to him because he's been thrown in to modern culture, most see him as a novelty, listen to people like Son House, Muddy Waters or J.B lenoir dont jump on the band-wagon and appreciate something just because its there. you have no idea how un-original this stuff is

[TheBussy88]

Everything you're saying is true. Of course Seasick Steve didn't invent the Delta Blues, but he does kick ass. So why not just relax, stop worrying where it came from and enjoy listening to it.

[redemptionsoldierdub]

it is unoriginal to feckers who listen to this all the time but because he is as you said new and opened up to contemparary music crowds due to his spot on jools holland i think he is brilliant. and here its 2008 and who is truely original their is no such thing. music conforms to darwinism as much as we do. it evolves from parents and ancestors s their nothing wrong with this being unoriginal its still roicking and brilliant

[karl198]

I think he should be respected for keeping the blues alive! There is too much of this manufactured pop and rap and things around and not enough real music from the roots.

[jessupar]

Dont you all just love when someone says something so stupid as "its my donna, not my donny"?

its my donny on all the performances, in the lyrics, and on "Dog House Music" which im looking at right now.

anyways, im glad to see him playing this in good quality. i like listening to him but he's way more fun to watch.

[dude14th]

Steve was one of the best acts at oxegen.

He gets the crowd going so well.

I really really want to have a beard like that.

[Hungrybear765]

he had one of the best audience's at the whole of T in the park. The tent was packed and the noise was unbelievable. He got more enthusiasm from the people than some headliners!

[LarryConneely]

same at oxegen, packed out the pet sounds tent

[sflkid]

he did like....see when he took the 2 girls on stage and sang to them

im 17 and like me and my mates were having a hoe down in the crowed to this song...love hime likes seen him 3 times now!

:)

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

What was the name of the song that he sang to the girl? The lyrics went something like, "my names Steve and I'm a working man." If anybody can help it would be great.

[askAminja]

I'm defo going to see him at leeds festival now

[rossmorris]

ive known about this guy for ages, been meaning to look him up... then like 6-8 months later i finaly get round to checkin him out and OMG!

i cant believe i left it this long!

the man is a fucking GOD!

[limeytrash]

Amazing how you have Steve singing to a dude. It should be My Donna, not Donny, you idiot.

[kaytothei]

The BBC are obviously idiots too because it comes up as "My Donny" on the caption when he starts playing......

[limeytrash]

Captions are usually done by an illiterate moron behind a keyboard. And the BBC is well known as a Muslim sympathizer.

[MasterplanMan]

i think ul find that the song is actually called my donny. so dont go shouting your mouth off calling people idiots.

[jessupar]

oh and also, there is a song by R.L. Burnside called Long Haired Doney, so its probly a variant on that word.

[ChrisyMcCullagh83]

ive wriiten songs on open E with 3 strings but steve is just f#$king amazing, love him.

Have to get to see him soon.

Seems like a lovely guy too :)

[lfctwentytwo]

one of the greatest live acts iv seen he is amazing he aint like the arctic monkeys play songs then fuck off he is a sociable guy love him

[ThePigeonDetective2]
