[@jayare6351]

Wow it took me back 1979!!! 14 years Old!!!😢😢😢😅😅 I'm blessed because I really enjoyed good Music, real Music!!! God bless them!!!

[@JustinBlackfaceTrudeau]

I was also 14 in ‘79 and this song always transports me back in time !

[@Captain-kungfoo]

1965 was a great vintage 👍🏼

[@jc6594]

Happy 75th Birthday Nick Lowe

[@geemarsh.7766]

Nick Lowe is an absolute legend. A superb songwriter.

[@person2463]

How robust is Nick Lowe's voice. Has lost almost nothing over the years. Wow❤

[@nodrog567]

He sounds great!!!

[@shortaybrown]

Shocking how great it still sounds. Amazing. The guy’s voice was made to sing.

[@TWTexasA1]

Daryl’s house was one of the best music shows ever. He had some of the best guest and his musicians were top notch players…damn I miss that show ✌🏼✌🏼

[@Marooshaz]

Did you see that the show returned with 6 new episodes a few months ago? Its on the same Daryl’s channel

[@bigshott9117]

There’s a singer musician named John Oates that felt the wrath of lead singer who thinks it’s his group.

[@JMD1965]

One of THE most perfect pieces of pop music EVER written!!!

[@kymkantaris7821]

So lucky I was born when music was truly fantastic!!

[@strappaplank6017]

it still is, I'm 58 and find many great young artists, you have to sift through the rubbish

[@delvaassante5699]

So true

[@pastrychef476]

Same here😊

[@natashafaria5738]

Feel the same!

[@ms.tep_]

YES!!!

[@patward245]

My wife and I have a running joke that "Darryl Hall makes everything a little bit better" - and here's more proof - this is fabulous!

[@RFResnick]

Nick still sounds amazing. One of the all-time greats.

[@arthurmchugh5184]

Think that they will say that about lady gaga 20 years from now 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kenbrown5449]

Nick Lowe is STILL a Crooner! Love this collab.

[@QuicknStraight]

This is one of my favourite tracks from Daryl's House. Nick Lowe is such a pro, and it's a great song. And the much missed T-Bone!

[@kareneDallas]

Miss seeing T-Bone. Hard to believe he’s been gone so long now.❤️

[@dannymeyers5240]

Nick Lowe - What a great voice!

[@jimsmith6747]

Man I miss T-Bone. What a loss. There's a reason his picture is still displayed in Daryl's studio to this day.

[@bbkGT3]

Genius

[@vpolite1]

Walker or Burnett? Walker would be in his 100s. Burnett is very much alive.

[@jimsmith6747]

@@vpolite1 Neither. The other musician in this video is Tom T Bone Wolk. He is who I'm referring to. He passed in 2010.

[@vpolite1]

@@jimsmith6747 Ah...I haven't watched much of this series.

[@44gggf]

T-bone WAS BEYOUND INCREDIBLE

[@loualleluia6353]

I didn’t think this song would work as an acoustic trio. I was wrong!

[@peterjohnson1761]

Well, that was great !

[@boxyboy46]

Nick is such a good songwriter.

[@richardkrispell7904]

Really suits Daryl’s voice, I loved him singing the verse. Always loved that song since the seventies.

[@pkoven]

as if there is a song which doesn't suit his voice? i don't know of one like that.

[@seanmcmanus867]

Outstanding

[@kbusby4824]

That was an acoustic gem. Daryl was having fun there. Great stuff.

[@thebillryan]

Yeah, that was lovely. Can't believe Daryl is 77 years old! Had to double check. Still got that soulful timbre.

[@edwardruiz8920]

Nick Lowe with an acoustic guitar is another league. Hall and Wolk working hard to keep up with him. Great sense of groove and great set of lyrics.

[@dougsharp605]

Nick Lowe what a cool dude, saw his show at the park west in Chicago some years ago got a chance to talk with them after the show for about 20 minutes ... Great songwriter

[@melc3852]

This is the stuff that Acoustic MTV should be airing. Nick Lowe is still at peak and the man is in his seventies!

[@MichaelJones-ff9gb]

Nick's voice is so damn good (at any age)! Everything sounds terrifically warm, well done.

[@tovarisch2788]

Nick was still great here. And T-Bone -- RIP, man.

[@kevinn1158]

I love hearing Daryl sing. He's got such a great feel and range. Thanks Daryl for sharing these collabs! No rappers please. LOL

[@megastick9324]

I e always felt the same, amazing voice and range. I only recently found out his mother was a vocal teacher, that’s a leg up for sure.

[@billx9244]

Really like this version 🙂 stripped back like this, the guitar notes showcase the tune and the natural vocals put the melody on full display🙂

[@scottarivett496]

CTBK is one of the most under appreciated hits of the 70s. I fell in love with it at first listen. It never got enough play rotation to suit me and I still love it to this day. ❤ ❤ 🎶 🎼 🎵 😎

[@privatepenguin3137]

One of the greatest pop/rock songs. R.I.P. T-bone 😢

[@TheBennie102103]

Take me back to 1979 again :)

[@GTLyons]

So good... why are my eyes wet? Cuz it's a beautiful thing when ole guys can play sing and remanence like this... sometimes I wish I could be Dayrl just for a day..... so good ,so fun ...thanks for this one👍

[@ksanClain]

Great song. Remember it coming on the radio. Takes one back.

[@tonyamiller8418]

Nick Lowe! Made my whole day. Thank you!

[@anthonygreen7295]

Great version of a great song..........NL's voice is still great too! Loved this when it first came out all those years ago!😉

[@jimspencer363]

Saw him at Dundee University in October 1980 with Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams - Rockpile. Cruel to be Kind, Girl's Talk, I Knew the Bride, Crawling from the Wreckage and many more. So, only 43 years ago.............

[@JustinBlackfaceTrudeau]

Damn that must have been a great show!

[@zulupenman]

Nick Lowe is a true British icon treasure, in the end becoming a great producer saw a young talented singer Elvis Costello and took him under his wing managed him producing his first album Nick was instrumental with "Pump it up" song .... remember seeing Nick with Dave Edmonds when Nick wore the Green Joker suit with question marks all over it... was just one incredible memory from the 1979 classic years ... What a voice both Nik and Darryl T-bone was one incredible legend touring with Hall & Oats playing bass and on all their albums three incredible maestros in their own category.. ☝️🤩🙏

[@amandafrench3741]

Oh gentlemen this is amazing!! Thank you Daryl for doing these wonderful videos. I am so enjoying them. Laying on my bed with my dogs on Sunday morning enjoying a private concert. Doesn’t get much better than this. Btw this is one of my favorite songs.

[@cristinacp8720]

Nick's 74, Daryl's 77. Both got great heads of hair still.

[@hollymourant9268]

Daryl is 77? Wow. Even more impressed that I found this!❤❤

[@rchancock]

Every time I hear this song I can't help seeing the MTV video, classic

[@arnebroxleirnes418]

You can just hear it. Bring a couple of buddies and there you go. This is the way this song should be performed. Best version!

[@AbusesOfScientology]

Wow! I like this better than the original. The stripped back acoustic version lets the vocals and beautiful harmonies linger - so nice!

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

Nick and Daryl great together, sounds so mellow and smooth great job. Thank you Daryl

[@terrynicholls4173]

I could feel the joy of the music flowing through me , great performance

[@allen6924]

That was great and is expected from Daryl and T-bone with whomever they are playing with. These videos with T-bone can be bitter sweet, just seeing his amazing musical talent on display fills my heart with joy 😊😊😊

Gorgeous! Nick, you still got the chops!

Saw Hall & Oates on the Old Grey Whistle Test in '75 and I was blown away in a very significant way, a musical game changer for me. I love the look of joy on Darryl's face as he gets into this song.

[@77tyrex]

thank you Nick and Darry for this video edited at 100% because the others are at 105% and more and this one allows us to work the chorus that you do not play and it allows us to learn the chorus in rhythm again thancks

[@matthewfritz3930]

Nick is such a great songwriter

[@andyb150]

That's so friggin awesome, love the backing vocals!

[@assumity]

He still sounds great!

[@krimpoo]

How fun it it that there are so many comments that are new and from the recent past. Not 2-10 years ago like some vids. It proves how lasting this music is and how powerful a songwriter Nick is. This is a lovely/powerful version....and i sure miss T-Bone :(

[@lastchance3552]

That's the test; acoustic guitars and vocals. It holds up. Wonderful.

I remember David Bowie released “Low” and Nick Lowe released “Bowi”. Good times.

[@billfleming8281]

Hate to say it , I really never liked the original version , then I heard this version , and I loved it . New appreciation for nicks original version . Man , I just didn’t get it back then . Great job guys 👍

[@HomeAtLast501]

DAMN good, gentlemen. I usually find informal jam versions of hit songs to be junk, but this is fantastic. You maintain melodic and instrumental structure throughout, and the vocals are DAMN STRONG, with beautiful and clean harmonies.
