@Andrewrb010 You are obviously dealing with some personal issues. You also indicate a tendency to have to have things exactly the way you heard them originally. Breath, my friend. This is excellent music. There are thousands of ways to perform any given song.

This is awesome...great scenery too. Love it...thanks!

I mean for fuck sake..... The instrumentation is beautiful but the lyrics were ABYSMAL and undermine the potent message the song makes to repackage it for some drunk hicks who while listening were wrapped in the confederate flag.... I presume.
Goddamn redneck hipsters....

BAHAHahAhha "for all the (inaudible) from Charleston South Carolina" HAHAHAHaha I hope what he said was "slave traders..."
BUTCHERED the lyrics.... "we just sit around"... Everything is WE in this version.... GO listen to Randy sing it everything is "YOU" as in "WE are taking YOU"..... the line is "it's great to be IN AMERICA" not "to be an American".... You dumb rednecks managed to turn about slavery into a song about American Exceptionalism....
Congratulations morons...

Yup, the irony of the disconnect between the audience's enthusiasm and the meaning of the song is fantastic, palpable. You get the feeling that Thile and the rest of the band did it intentionally. Especially after he dedicates it to the men and women of Charleston. One of the best inside joke I've ever seen performed!

beautiful song, but i don't think some of the audience is familiar with it, or knows it as a satirical piece. the lyrics are written from the POV of a guy convincing an African to board a slave ship bound for Charleston Bay. still, it's a wonderful song, off a terrific album, by an awesome songwriter, covered by a brilliant band. & while the yip after "drink wine all day," was probably from someone enjoying the song and not knowing what it's about, it made the song better suited to a party.
