Dr. Dog "My Old Ways" on Letterman - May 23, 2007

[@elviscruz8546]

I was in the studio audience on May 23, 2007 for this performance. I enjoyed the song immensely, and have heard it here on KZbin at least 20 times. If any of the band members reads this, I am the guy who chatted with you outside the stage door on the street afterwards while the union stagehands were moving out your equipment, and I said you did a great job and I mentioned that your song reminded me of another song I'd enjoyed as a kid, "The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack", by the Nice, (1967). You can hear it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHanYnRqisSFg68 Keep up the great work!

[@Yosefsnake38]

how are you doing man

[@Man_of_Oil]

I will never get over this performance, it’s so iconic!!

[@richie345]

Holy shit, this band is much bigger than I thought they were. My friend gave me a CD a few weeks ago, I didn't bother to look them up until now. Congrats to them!

[@H3chTie]

i could sit the whole day here just watching this guys.. *IN LOVE*

[@DaFreezeey]

This was the very first song I ever heard of this band... Was blown away and had to hear more... Luckily "Fate" had just came out at that time... when i heard that album... it was over. What a good 2 years. 2007-2008

[@nitedreamer23]

They're a great band. Even their Christmas ep was great--seriously.

[@supasoulproductions]

Fate is my fave Dr. Dog album.

[@zabarisquest9508]

Them white boys rocking HARDT. They killed it.

[@1santos1]

Dr. Dog is my favorite band on the planet!!! THANKS A BILLION for posting this!

[@racacala]

Dr. Dog is amazing. Refreshing. Interesting. Damn fantastic on stage. End of story, so sit back, relax and stop letting your ego take over if you do not agree.

[@ScottJosephSmith]

My first time seeing Dr. Dog perform here on TV way back in 2007. Turned me into an instant fan.

[@cspeidel331]

people hate on them going faster than the record but I fucking love it they have so much energy live

[@loganbottorff7228]

I love this song, and I love this version of the song.

[@jojohomie01]

that was the greatest thing ive ever seen

[@ZwienerZ]

This is one of the BEST ALBUMS I've heard in a long time! I'm seeing them in Austin in April.

[@avizzone]

That entire cd is awesome

[@mattwood24]

This is their second TV appearance. They were on Conan doing Worst Trip I think 3 months ago or so. Good stuff.

[@alayna.g]

awesome performance, i want to see them live so badly!

[@LittleGreen88]

They were wonderful. I saw them in concert a few weeks ago, I was standing like a foot or two from them. Nice guys.

[@seanyoungman]

absolute classic

[@Serfins]

amen. these dudes are something to keep an eye on. easy beat was fucking amazing. it's really nice to see indie not sucking itself off like it does with just about every other shitty act.

[@waitingfortherainz]

you knew something fourteen years ago

[@itsnotsunnyanymo]

ive seen them five times... and they're amazing...

[@warrensheinwald809]

This is so good. Damn ❤

[@vb7000]

Lovely! They're an incredible live band and being on TV suits them!

[@Fakieflps]

amazing performance.

[@loganbottorff7228]

I love this song. One of my favourite songs.

[@BechTalent]

Brilliant. Nothing less!!!

[@SofaCitySweetheart]

Awesome.

[@COYADD]

You don't want to go back to The Old Days? That song was kick ass!

[@rymalia]

hurry up and see them then, they're not playing small clubs anymore...... :-) And you're right, they're fantastic live. One of the best live acts out there right now.

[@TheLoomisFargoGang]

That's just darn cool.

[@broha717]

these guys are genuis's

[@nicardi]

just saw them in Chapel Hill, incredible show.

[@rymalia]

Thanks for info, good for them, I thought this was their first.

[@jimdaa20]

thx man

[@ericAAnderson3]

It's bright when you're in the spotlight.

[@jasonsenator6144]

Everything before HD looks like the zapperter film now

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

Wow, oh wow!

[@racacala]

To be honest, I didn't know the Strokes said anything about dr. dog, yet.. I love dr. dog.. so stop categorizing. And anyway.. Music comes from music.. just as art comes from art. What do you think the word "influence" means.

[@77starblaster]

Awesome

[@teymur]

yeah my mistake, the track list is out at this point. I just thought someone heard the daytrotter cut and assumed it was a demo for the new album or something. They played it last saturday at their show. so good.

[@BobbyWeber]

@poprobot seen them 4 times live over the past couple months at bonnarroo and xponential music festivals, once at terminal 5 and once a governors island THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME LIVE, they always wear sunglasses its their thing.

[@UncleLudie]

Beach Boys x The Band w/ Manson Chicks singing backup(in prison garb) = Perfect. Love these people & music

[@ChristianSpraungel]

theyre coming to minneapolis april 17th, too bad im not 18. phuckle

[@TheClubbed]

@poprobot Actually when I saw them live in Knoxville, they were wearing the glasses. And from the videos I've seen, they always wear them.

[@Caylix93]

i fcking love this bandd! there so aweosme.

[@Cryptically]

He looks like Dan Auerbach

[@GreenbeanFloyd]

actually they all do...love dr. dog!

[@BiggestApple]

hey talkrite - you tell the guys they rock. See if you can get them to come to London as well.

[@teymur]

if someone was a the dunster street show may 31st and remebers the name of the songs and the order post them. I'm writing a review for journalism and i was drunk and dont remember all the songs. I can place Oh No,My Old Ways, The Old Days, The Ark, From, Aint it Strange.

[@teymur]

i dont think From is gonna be on Fate but i could be wrong. Its an older song but theres a semi studio version from the daytrotter sessions

[@GreenbeanFloyd]

toby has so much energy

[@racacala]

I had a discussion with another dr. dog fan and we came to the realization that just because influence is derived from another place, doesnt mean someone cant be "original". I find dr. dog to be fresh and quite unusual to what we hear today. with music, you dont hear some sort of influence with what you hear? artists have influences, you cant escape it, but that doesnt mean they have to sound exactly like the influence. any disagreements? cuz i dont really wanna hear them, haha, this is tiring..

[@avizzone]

i'll be there!!

[@talkrite1262]

They are going to be on "Conan O'Brien" Thurs., July 17th, 2008. Tune in!!

[@ActuallyDoubleGuitars]

Here because of Fear.

[@squidking8113]

Same dude

[@ActuallyDoubleGuitars]

Squid King The New season looks good eh. I'm glad I found this band because of the Fear TWD trailer.

[@오은영의불꽃싸다구]

🖐🖐

[@lacassula]

Acojonante

[@estebanpotencias]

wow! cat deely is on ferguson! sorry I missed that!

[@KenCat1337]

I love hippies. [:

[@BlackieLee13]

these guys are fucking brilliant.

[@sootaliaoa5102]

who's here bc of ftwd season 4 trailer?

[@rymalia]

You mean this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnbbl4ywpa2ihtk

[@sootaliaoa5102]

yup

[@gxr3bvip.683]

لاإله إلا الله ❤

[@d.73219]

Is that Eliza Hardy Jones singing backup? Her husband was briefly in Dr Dog as well

[@rymalia]

@spontaniousman16 - best comment yet. David Letterman's Double Rainbow courtesy of the DOG.

[@fake123]

Cool. It's a shame you can't appreciate all that music that pleases the rest of us. Something of a deprived life...like being allergic to sour candy.

[@zieoblow]

These guys (and girls) are great. The first half of the song is sketchy but they straight kill the second half. Everything after 1:50 is pure rock, watch again. Digg

[@lefty1911]

These guys remind me alot of Against Me not thier music but the way they perform

[@donkeykidtim]

Scott looks like he's in disguise

[@DownLocked]

Tim hahaha I lol’d

[@rafaelpunk77]

essa é aquela banda de Liverpool?

[@BechTalent]

Excuse dr. Dog from what? Dr. Dog is one of the most original bands today. There is so much more to music than just sound.

[@Yakobiii]

what kind of keyboard is he using?

[@germock]

I like this song, I like this band. I own this CD, But this performance? I don't want to finish watching it. They all look exhausted and nervous.

[@racacala]

try the beatles and bowie... and yes, very amazing...

[@youkickthebucket]

how fucking epic is this intro!!!!!

[@em1civicsi]

not a big fan of dr. dog. BUT i have major respect for them and they did a Awesome job here.

[@ninchaturtles]

epic

[@ShablulZoem]

very original.

[@JaminDamon]

@tasteflavored I wish you knew how to write time because I actually wanted to know when you though that they settled down

[@lacasadevillafana2096]

RIP

[@johni-m8944]

rip scott

[@poprobot]

love this record and this band - never seen them live but i imagine they're better in a small club than this... they seem really nervous at first (who wouldn't be? playing on Letterman is a huge audience!) and the sunglasses were probably a bad idea in retrospect...

[@keyboard6677]

@spontaniousman16 just curious, tripping on what?

[@riku1neo]

I enjoyed the performance as a whole. The end with repeating chorus was crazy good. One thought, I think they need to sing in tune a bit more. But good overall.

[@offtheavenue]

Hey we are a new studio in Florida, and we have been getting some of the best bands in orlando to do a new web-series called Off The Avenue. Check it out.

[@andros1984]

Now I know where Juaquin Pheonix got his new "look" from, lol the left guitarist,

[@fake123]

Liking Dr. Dog doesn't negate liking the Beatles or Buddy Holly or the Kinks or any band you could say they're imitating. If someone likes music, who are you to tell them that they shouldn't? Isn't that like trying to convince someone something was funny?

[@macarthur19]

The guitar the singer is using will always remind me of John Lennon.

[@hauserm95]

Is that Scott singing the lead melody part? does not look like him at all

[@HarrisY]

Yeah that beard really did wonders for his masculinity back in the day. But I guess he doesn't wanna go back to those old ways again, which is why he's been clean shaven for so long now.

[@davidcovarrubias7706]

HarrisY I see what you did there my friend! well played!

[@MaxZorinVsMajorTom]

i saw them at the basement.

[@hannahseward1920]

👍🏼

[@KaceKlosed]

Damn not bad at all - this is gotta be pretty derivative of 70's music but seriously infectious (quick! the antidote you bastards...)

[@TheGreatGallbo]

Horrible? Do me a favor and go look up live videos of the Beatles playing in Japan or something of the sort from around '65. I think you'll understand what I'm getting at then... that studio vocals are always going to be perfect.. and live vocals aren't going to be note perfect. BTW, did you guys miss the energy of their performance? The oldness, but newness of their sound? They make real music... unfortunately in today's business they can't be the mainstream pop... what a pity

[@92royalty]

Is it Christmas?

[@hosway1992]

He kinda looks like Ben Bridwell in here lol Great band!

[@Craziness31]

you know this how?

[@docparider88]

that dudes good

[@racacala]

Why do you say that?

[@TannerDMB41]

scott looks different!

[@BechTalent]

Of course you are allowed to value and judge music. What I mean is, that a musician never sees music as being able to compete about what is "best", simply because music isn't a sport. Besides, Animal Collective is experimental in a whole other different way than dr dog. Woukd you say that Mozarts was not original just because the use of instruments was similar to many other composers of his time?

[@Durrutitv]

Wearing your influences on your sleeve does not make you unoriginal, nor does sharing those influences with other eclectic artists.

[@ArnoLoeb]

kraut-love ... from impotenz

[@RumPunch25]

FRANK RULES!!!!!

[@jons7888]

yeah that was a good performance in rittenhouse square in philly they had
