[@alexrobinett4630]

I’ve listened to all the barefoot surrender and spit shine stuff and it’s awesome seeing them back together again

[@ejeamon]

so glad to see these guys back together. you guys at Gems are doing gods work. this is the channel that got me into lost dog and so many others.

[@The_dude94]

The best music channel on KZbin, no competition! I can't even count all the great artists/ bands I've found because of their channel! 👌

[@justgonnasendit9074]

Man is this a crazy moment never thought I'd hear this band again. Definitely going back on repeat now

[@Pasiego7]

Barefoot Surrender coming back for a little tour and adding some in between songs like O'Dea and Goodbye Brother would be amazing.

[@mischief.brewed]

Never heard goodbye brother, what album is that on?

[@Pasiego7]

@@mischief.brewed that's from intuitive compass, Jason's band and what is the counter part of O'Dea from Ben

[@sethmountain]

A beautiful moment--feels mature, sad, happy, all at once.

[@prikarsartam]

I am from India. I will positively visit Ben Tod and Jason Dea personally. I love your music a lot. It makes me feel stable.

[@BRXINBUSTER]

Makes me happy seeing them all play together again :,)

[@lordmonokelhans2912]

I just love how in every GemsOnVHS Video theres always this little part before the actual song where the artists just tell something about themselves or the song. The way Ben says "very bad night", damn thats just so raw and full of life. This channel always sparks joy.

[@GemsOnVHS]

glad you get it bud. i love those parts too. tell a bit of the story.

[@gabbypostma3580]

we need more Barefoot Surrender in the world

[@pokeemann1306]

a NEW barefoot surrender video? Shit I was having a really really bad day until now. Thanks guys.

[@averagesteel9666]

Hoo-boy… Heard every song the band played in the past, feels like a hazy dream-come-true to hear them again! Tone of the song was definitely more tempered, the brash high-strung arrogance of youth clearly missing from the song, which just shows how far every single one of these people have come in their own lives, and just how much they’ve matured. It’s beautiful to see, and I appreciate Gems for showing off such treasures.

[@GemsOnVHS]

very true, good observation. we get older, we get mellow, we learn!

[@Cexlbr]

Fucking wild to see a new barefoot surrender video in 2023- what a day. Just missing Nora, I think?

[@GemsOnVHS]

indeed missing nora

[@TheDeathstag]

@@GemsOnVHS Where is nora !

[@caden8592]

Goosebumps. So cool to hear a live barefoot surrender song in 2023!

[@EMERALDTREE93]

She is like listening to“Chicken Soup for the soul” books. She is so artist and real. Wish she would tour!

[@snaiil.]

watching that old recording of them in Colorado then going to see this new one is just crazy. where'd all the time go? RIP Nicholas Ridout

[@riotinwalmart]

I remember wondering into johnny bs in medford oregon and seeing these guys play on a random weeknight and being super impressed. They hung around for awhile and i got to see them play a few more times in 2011 before they split. Getting older is weird but so awesome to see them go on and continue to grow and get bigger.

[@jamesm7626]

I'm a punk, but I think 40's 50's hillbilly is King...... This is Fukin Gold

[@kylekoonce]

Man can’t believe I missed this one. This song was a damn savior when I heard it, brings a tear to my eyes now

[@MattStrom]

Wow. Yall this is amazing. So much a dream to see these folks together. Don't need that time machine after all. Thanks all who made this happen. It made an old man happy.❤

[@Bootscootinaly]

Been waiting years for this! My heart is so full!

[@BobLoblongEsq]

Been following Ben for over 15 years, through every band he’s been in, from Chris and Ben to blackheart rebellion to Barefoot to SpitShine, to teardrop trio and Lost Dog. I’m so proud of how far he’s come, and I can say without a shred of doubt Ben Tod is the greatest living songwriter on this continent, maybe even the world

[@blakemacintyre3080]

Cool. But Jason writes good songs like this this one lol

[@BobLoblongEsq]

@@blakemacintyre3080 oh wow an “um acktualy” guy, I didn’t know y’all existed except as the butt of jokes

[@blakemacintyre3080]

[@AlexanderJohnson]

easily my favorite barefoot song. Thanks Anthony and everyone!

[@NathanErtznerMusic]

Absolutely amazing, the fact that they're all together and so different from who they used to be, yet still close is incredible.

[@lucasfolk4209]

I got to work for my best friend for the last year of his life (battling cancer) and I introduced him to Lost dog, Jason Dea west, Nick Hans. But out favorite was barefoot. This song, sky was burning red, and raven were our favorites… any way thanks, it littlest bring a tear to my eye thinking about it, made a lot of good memories turning wrenches for him listening to these guys and his old story’s from when he was my age. Thanks and keep up the amazing work

[@SicklyVideo]

I played that show on New Years Even In Bend, OR. It was Larry and His Flask, my band Ether Circus, and Barefoot Surrender. Jason pissed on our van and gave me a ripped in half dollar bill to make it up to us. I had no idea that was their last show until just now, watching this video.

[@WhatsInspiration]

Nearly brought a tear to my eye seeing and hearing this. Beautiful.

[@brianstearskingnothing]

That's a lot of talent in that group some of my favorite

[@buttelman95]

The way Ben’s voice comes through when they sing “I’m the gal that made you strong” is magic

[@krispy3699]

This is Fucking amazing y’all!! Hope you guys did a few more songs. Looking forward to it 🎉

[@zaneridings1002]

I'm an Oregon local, and the New Years Eve Party's in Bend hosted by Larry and His Flask and Willy Tea Taylor are notorious for being quite the show. His "Bend, Oregon, very bad night" statement tells volumes...

[@santanicopandemon1um]

Very moved thinking about my time on the road and how the years passed. I’ll carry this song and Sky Burnin’ Red in my heart forever. Thank you guys!!!

[@alquimby5508]

That was absolutely awesome! What a great song, what a great band! Thanks to all involved in this, really a breath of fresh air.

[@LucaBohn030]

It's so wholesome to see ya'll making music under barefoot surrender again. Keep it up! Lost Dog/Spit Shine/Barefoot Surrender crossover is amazing!

[@Abumustard6364]

Would love to hear more from these guys.

[@brendonleary]

Hey. There they are. What a treat. That was the last thing I thought I'd see this evening. Or ever again! Thanks, Anthony. Thanks, Barefoot Surrender.

[@120DaysOfAutumn]

This is the shit that led me to hop trains and ride bikes across the country a whole lifetime ago… that was cool to see as who I am now

[@northernexplorer3654]

Now im not an emotional man by any stretch, but this, this makes me feel deep

[@ChristianAngelsson]

Barefoot Surrender reminds me of the time I was Barefoot, black out drunk, & got arrested by RCMP... they drew their guns and I surrendered ... Drinkin only brings you pain. Thnx for music & I love this channel @gemsonvhs

[@Rikushio17]

I met Ben and Jason back in 2010 they were busking in Ashland OR. good times! love me some barefoot!

[@knules2]

I can't even describe how happy I to see them back together. The first time I saw Lost Dog they ended the show with Forgott My Name and it took me ages to deep dive and find it. That show was the best I've ever been to. I'm sure they remember it because the crowd and Ben were ready to beat the owner to a pulp. Seeing them play together again after everything life threw at em, shows how strong they are and how music binds us. Would love to see em cut that track, but regardless just keep the good times coming!

[@GemsOnVHS]

he might not remember it, sounds like an average ldsb show back then lol

[@knules2]

@@GemsOnVHS only reason I think he might is he wasn't really drinking that night. Just a bad owner/planer double booking a single venue and underestimating the number of concert goers.

that little dance at the end from Mr. Todd lol "That was it!"
