I have a strong feeling that he's making music, not because he want's to, but because he has to. This level of necessity is rare these days.

[@simonmooijman5928]

His workshop fur god

[@briannn7751]

Well said

[@PeskadorDHomes]

Yes.

[@Nithael_]

In an interview he was asked what a man should do and his answer was "whatever God tells you to do". We have forgotten what gifts come from following that higher law of life. We are fallen.

[@charleebolen8717]

He has said this in some sorta way in a cool documentary I watched about folk music

[@TimothyBIinks]

David Eugene Edwards sitting down is thousands of times more intense than the most aggressive punk band standing.

[@mvicksdog]

lol ok

[@fredericwisniewski7945]

Exactly. Amazing intensity.

2:08 Never seen a man play the accordion with so much passion. Heck, never seen a musician express so much passion whilst seated.

[@-joe90]

Bandoneon

[@jondietz]

Actually it’s a Chemnitzer Concertina. This brand was built in Chicago IL.

[@oldboxman4306]

It’s not an accordion. It is a Chemnitzer concertina manufactured in Chicago Illinois. Circa 1950

[@forsythdavid23]

​@@oldboxman4306 I had heard a story that he (DEE) had found it in the trash.😮

George from Cannibal Corpse introduced me to 16 Horsepower during a bottle of Jim Beam. I'm glad he did...

[@getdownmoses]

Sometimes a song will kick you in the stomach. It will motivate you, shame you and validate you in about 4 minutes. This is such a song.

[@pennyrogers570]

I've grown tired, of the words of the single man Hangin' lifeless on his every word, o man You don't understand dear man The little angel held out her hand Sayin' father, father I love you O praise Jesus I got her Ok yeah billy goat an we'll play farm I didn't mean to spirit stiff you Nor to do you no harm You say you've got a bone to pick Well, there's plenty showin' on me Come on up yeah bring your temper boy We'll see, we'll see Yeah you may be the only one come on son Bring your blade and your gun And if I die by your hand I've gotta home in glory land

[@mewimagine5920]

Great performance. Sack cloth n ashes is one of the best albums ever made. Raw power

[@JmasterTIDD]

this is so metal

[@twyggy]

Not enough thumbs up.

[@jimhunter1364]

[@duanegeorges9339]

This is diesel

[@astav]

Nope. It's not. But lots of metalheads do dig this kind of music.

[@MeroveeG]

DEE defined 16HP music as "roots punk-rock", so this is not metal,this is punk inspired! and this was incredible energy live!

[@blairenewland4139]

Fucken hell. I have heard a few songs from these guys over the years, but I wasn't expecting this. My 15/04/2021 16 Horsepower deep dive is paying off.

[@greghayes7933]

saw them in 97 in SF ...was there to see another band.....they blew the doors off the Great American music hall......was beyond intense

[@Barqu3ntine]

Still the best version of this song I've heard

[@qashak]

+Barqu3ntine it's true! TRUE!!! TRUE!!!!!!

[@teutates619]

Make sure you check the 2 meter session. It’s a Dutch misic program that has had the blessing of quite some gems of performances.

[@Cobra_bushcraft]

wish it was without live...

[@tonymorris9754]

Amazing, I'm addicted. That's how to build a song. A daily listen for me now.

[@PeskadorDHomes]

Just listen his new album "Hyacinth".

[@PersonMan92]

I love that line that David throws in after the first verse. No idea what he's saying, but it sounds great.

... Where have I been? This is like the greatest thing I have heard in years. Especially like the gloomy-groovy bandoneon loop and the black-metal-sounding guitar part that jumps in now and then.

Please KZbin, never delete this.. This is music... Beautiful, spiritual and raw music...

[@forsythdavid23]

God willing.😊

[@DIGITAL7Media]

saw these guys about 25 years ago opening up for Cowboy Junkies in Southern California. They were so good an hypnotic....I never remember the names of opening bands. They were that good. These guys are just wicked,

[@petersmall1574]

Wow, that must have been an awesome concert, those two bands together.

[@christokrzysztofradew4206]

This man totally absorbet in vocals I love this band ! The Best band of black country !!!

[@lennoxkiel]

I wasn't at Pinkpop, but that evening I saw D.E.E. at television. I was very touched by the performance. That week I went to R'dam were they did a gig and two years later also. It was a pity the band split. Woven hand misses the great volume, like thunderclouds packing together over your head. I never experienced such feelings during a concert than with 16 horsepower. Amazing what it did to me

[@Richard.uit.Brabant]

I was there ..... at this concert ..... already 19 years ago ..... great concert!
