THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE RECORDINGS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SquareNoggin]

Gillian and Dave - possibly the best music duo ever to come out of the land of the free. IMO anyways. Gillian's albums especially are like... really important to me.

[@mr.jazzbodkelsey58]

Reminds me of the line, "You be Emmylou, and I'll be Graham". 🎶From "Dream A Highway". They're like salt and pepper.

[@Prickly-Brew]

They are pretty damn magical together.

[@RoniIres]

Been on a listening binge, Gillian and Dave every night, a soundtrack for my dreams. What beautiful music.

[@RoniIres]

Me too.

[@jojoheartspaypay]

I tried and I tried and I tried, and found that there's *absolutely nothing wrong with loving Dave Rawlings* .

[@BenSHammonds]

love this, watch it every now and again, is authentic and good Americana

[@minniemile2]

Is it possible for two people to be this beautiful, articulate and talented. Love them so much. If only they became a circus, I would surely run away with them.

[@nancysparks1412]

Yes!

[@hunterhandley6715]

Dave and Gillian drove across Australia to perform on the east coast. I happened to read a music review featuring them, hereto ignorant of DRM. I was blown away by their show in Bangalow. My fondest hope is that they return to our shores again one day. Sigh.

[@danielmaneiro6037]

Dave ustedes son mis amigos no sabes lo q estamos viviendo en venezuela, estamos sobreviviendo, sus canciones alivian el alma como quisiera escucharlos en vivo, mis hijos adoran sus temas ... aqui estamos muy mal pero tus canciones nos dan vida

[@scotttaylor8811]

A very young Brittany Haas. What a fiddler extrordinaire! Just learing about Dave and Gillian. Really great stuff. Thanks KEXP. Glad you are in my neighborhood.

[@danielmorris3687]

Dave is the coolest dude ever. He always seems to be happy as a clam and having the time of his life every performance I've ever seen. It's obvious he is a serious musician who doesn't take himself too seriously at all.

[@davidryan7386]

daniel morris saw him loose his deep cool @ hardly strictly bluegrass festival a decade back, when the soundman couldn't cope with the wind chill. Buuuut...seen him a dozen times maybe and chatted with him once till Gillian dragged him off. 😂 He is an amazing dude tho - he runs with Emmy Lou and Jack White, Chris thile and of course frckn John Paul Jones toured with them just before this phase.

[@thereverendsam413]

@@davidryan7386 I would love to hear him work with Thile. Or even more than that, Gillian and David with Mandolin Orange. Emily on fiddle, tons of harmony, OMG.

[@jude999]

real people. Nothing fake about them.

[@Prickly-Brew]

I’ve always thought if Dave collaborated with Todd from railroad earth they could do something magical.

[@sonofprovence]

America is rich to have sweet folks like these make that great kind of music.

[@RoniIres]

The world is full of amazing artists and these are some of the best.

[@williammarek6842]

I've loved Gillian Welch for decades and it's great to see her with her semi-silent partner Dave Rawlings. Their music is beautiful.

[@sydneys1071]

I have this performance saved and have rewatched it so many times. Their music is so unbelievably beautiful haunting and really takes you on a journey to another place. It’s just visceral. No matter how many times I watch it it still affects me just as much. You feel this music in your bones.

[@willjames5572]

Good god, there may be nothing finer than this.

[@Moonooman]

Ihr macht die Musik so schön. Das bleibt bei mir. Vielen Dank dafür.

[@jesseaaron3966]

saw them the other night . best show hands down ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there amazing truely so talented

[@andylec5879]

Great playing. Real dedication to tone, you can see it in their eyes. Awesome.

[@jorgearevalomateus7769]

Prairie dresses and cowboy hats! And great songs! Smells like Authenticity!

[@axegas76]

can't stop watching that sweet tooth

[@blackfoot332]

such good lyrics, be easy to believe it's an old blues/traditional

[@HarryFullerCT]

Hello from 2020, still a great jam!

[@robertwilliams-wd6cp]

These are my favorite performers , love Dave's guitar work !

[@Dutchman536]

No stardom here , pure people , pure music , pure roots

[@davidcolton6201]

It's mind blowing how awesome these musicians are... and so natural and approachable in their interviews. Humble in their extraordinary talent. So impressive.

[@johngreenwood1972]

Two of my favourite musicians/writers on the planet. Great taste in all departments.

[@redrock1963]

That Epiphone of Dave's is an absolute killer.

[@promoted738]

One of the best stories in music - how he got that guitar.

[@kevindunne6520]

@@promoted738 Do tell!

[@promoted738]

@@kevindunne6520 You can hear it from Dave himself - there's a vid here on KZbin. I believe it's Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Dave is sitting on a couch with the guitar being interviewed and he tells the story. I went to the music store he is referring to is Allston Ma. last year and asked them if they knew the story - no one remembered it even though it's been the same staff for 40 years. When I walked in I saw an old Bandmasater Reverb head and smiled to myself. You'll understand if you watch the interview.

National treasures, Gillian and Dave are.

[@rockers2rockers616]

How could one not like this music? Honestly it is good for your spirit, and fun to play. Get a guitar everybody and learn American roots music...

[@GirlVirginian]

Just saw them in Richmond Va Saturday night. It was insanely great. I've never seen a concert audience so collectively happy.

[@JSpitsbergen]

+GirlVirginian I saw them in Michigan about a month ago and couldn't agree more. Best audience experience I've seen in a long time.

[@markhetherington1233]

That's Brittany Haas - she's amazing. I love her contribution to the 'Live From Here' house band too: never fails to impress!

[@redrock1963]

GirlVaginian - "...........never seen a concert audience so collectively happy." I guess you never when to a Pink Floyd concert then. ................."happy".

[@smwrbd]

@@JSpitsbergen where in Michigan.

[@thechad5764]

I live about three hours from Richmond, after all this covid bs is over I hope to catch them somewhere in this good old state of ours 💚🙏💚

[@fran6b]

David Rawlings is such a good guitarist. I like his paying very much.

[@arctichare8185]

I like his playing too.

[@tommydevine6531]

This performance brings me so much happiness.

[@micmillist2588]

I went and saw their concert in Sydney at the Enmore theatre the other night. Blown Away does not fully describe how I felt after the concert. I have loved these guys for years but to see them in concert live is another experience altogether. These guys are not only good but you can see they love what they do and they interacted with the audience all night. I would have paid double to experience what I saw...........BRILLIANT.

[@mattwales7171]

Stellar! Truly, Gillian and Dave are some of the best song writers and musicians that ever lived. Their friends are great too. Dave is on fire right now. NO is ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

[@wattsun7946]

Saw the tour last night... truly amazing lineup songs and chemistry.

[@dreamwell2020]

A beautiful document of some master music-makers - that's what we have here. Many thanks to all concerned.

[@timburns2374]

I can't listen to them without crying! Tears of joy and grateful to be alive.

[@koldkilla777]

Just over a minute into this and I'm already in love. Good stuff!

[@jacobbouser4190]

Just an insane amount of talent packed in to such a small space.

[@ThePinkfloyd51]

And denim.

[@RandyHooHa]

I love these people.

[@anthonyfrazer609]

Just found out they are on their way down here to Australia next year! First time in eleven years or so. Plus, they're doing a double-headed tour: Gillian Welch for the first lap, then Dave Rawlings Machine back down the east coast. This session is beautiful. I've listened to them for years but have never seen them live before. The harmonies, sound, instrumentation...just stunning.

[@ted1091]

Master musicians all. Thank you for your excellence. It shows

[@lilysitero6514]

I am on the edge of tears it's so beautiful!! Can't wait to be in their live audience in 9 days!

saw the five of them early november at lincoln theater in washington dc....terrific...very lively hall, so gil said, 'we dont usually do this but this hall sounds so good' and they sang 5 encores....the highlight was a chilling version of china doll....'made a friend or two along the way...what can i say.....whoa, ah, oh, wah, oh'

[@teresaellenkallenbergerpoo5182]

I loved watching this video and seeing Willy Watson playing and singing along with Dave & Gillian. I love how humble they are about their music and song writing. Also I love that Willy Watson is in my way of understanding musicians still learning but this time definitely with some off the best musicians. 👍
