[@redrider6457]

Every time I hear these two I think about Gillian living in Cali and listening to KPIG radio and telling the story about hearing Ralph Stanley for the first time and being so moved she changed her course, These two were made for each other in every way, They are so damn real, when I was living in Nashville I didn't even know I was driving past their house in my 1962 Chevy Pickup and she hollered out NICE TRUCK I slowed down then stopped they were both hand washing their vintage cars outside and telling me how much the neighborhood association hated their ol rust buckets, I was raided on traditional music and yes, not a bad song in the catalog. love love love And I lived in SF and I sure don't miss that cold ass park, man.

[@breidems]

KPIG...got me through the 'oughts.

[@theburnhams2925]

The energy that flashes out from Gillian's eyes at 23:17 is incredible in this tale/song !!

[@dave_goldcrest]

I think this is literally the only band I know who never did a song I don't like. Saw them live years ago in the UK. Excellent.

[@cakeofthepan2233]

I love the sound,the wind, the trees and nature…. This is the America I want to visit.

[@mfourcade75]

For sure David Rawlings is a lucky boy. He plays the guitar like a god and he has Gillian Welch sings and smiles for him.

[@MrGilmourPage]

Rawlings' lead parts are basically perfect. Guy is incredible. Teared up just listening... watching their connection, couldn't hold back.

[@lowellginsberg4440]

Yo man i was at this concert live about 50-75 yrds back dead center and i got teary eyed right from the get go, and it wasnt just the glare off the rinestones

[@michaelmorris5342]

Same! 💜

[@9thstreetbrandt]

I’d be crying if I were there. Big hugs, guys.

[@elonjackson5121]

InstaBlaster.

[@smwrbd]

I thought I was the only one...

[@kevincoffey6022]

Miss Ohio, great song with one of the best lines of all time "I want to do right, just not right now."

[@danielnosuke]

That's likely an Augustine reference. Lord, make me holy, but not quite yet.

[@johnsherman6571]

What a TERRIFIC show!!! Just love every aspect of it... the Nudie suits, the vocals and harmonies, David's playing on that old little archtop, Gillian's absolutely pure sense in those wonderful songs... so real as to be sublime... and treasured!

[@artexatrayu8930]

These two are the hidden gem of American music. A serious class act. I breaks my heart to see them age. At least their music just gets better and better. Rawlings and that mid 30's f-hole archtop Epiphone are the ultimate instrument/musician combination.

[@omarisawesome1996]

Gillian and her husband are freaking awesome man.

[@johngerson7335]

These two are a musical treasure of the highest order. Her voice and songs can soothe my spirit when it's most troubled, as it happens to be at present. Thanks so much for posting this...

[@MrFeelgood2016]

This is One of pure musics......

[@ThomasTrussell]

These 2 live at the Lyric Theater in Birmingham Alabama is one of the best concerts I've even seen in person. Every single song was awesome.

[@johnhurley3156]

time is the revelator. what was evident from the first. gentle heros

[@zekec6088]

Dave's guitar work on Revelator is making the tears come

[@briencarr3394]

This concert rocks. Those costumes are awesome too. Great songwriters. 😀

[@tita4ewaz]

This is MY kind of "power couple". Humble and pure f'n talent!

[@adampkmorris]

Brit here. Please come back to the UK, we need you badly.

[@PeekaPeep]

Need a CD/DVD set of this performance, IT'S SO DAMN GOOD! No surprise to me regarding these two, far as I know they both have earned their keep in the music industry and then some. Feel so honored and humbled to have their music well-represented in my ever-growing collection... ;-)

[@MrRicardobach]

Absolutely stunning. my wife Linda and I attened two HSB's but not in2015 because we moved to SC. Great video, wind and sun were nice. Great couple, David's guitar plying IS special, but it's the interplay between taelnted husband and wife that makes this extraordinary. warren Helman's vision shines here.

[@lorimangold2890]

They're not married

[@sulphate3348]

Love these two. Blessing to hear their voices sing.

[@jackstarbirdsell]

They sound beautiful.

[@joefoley2023]

Love it! here are the songs: Wayside/Back in Time Look at Miss Ohio Rock of Ages Elvis Presley Blues The Way It Goes Hard Times Six White Horses Orphan Girl Revelator I'll Fly Away Mr. Tambourine Man

[@louied2613]

just totally awesome love these two.

[@Jamesdylandean]

I love their matching outfits and loving attitudes, connects very well with their impeccable music.

[@adandap]

What a wonderful looking setting for that music. Wish I'd been there.

[@andydressler6761]

This show is a real treasure.

[@swampwhiteoak1]

Gillian had her capo in the wrong location. Had to stop playing and move it. Picked up the song in progress. What a pro! David becomes one with his guitar. He plays rhythm, lead, solos, fills, and ornamentation, sometimes all at the same time!. What a pro. Playing blow/draw chords on a harmonica in a neck rack while playing highly syncopated banjo tune is impressive. Gillian’s singing is perfect right on the note. Her rhythm and fingerpicking guitar playing is great too. What a pro.

[@sylisweaver4651]

So darn good every time..........music makes me so emotional!!! especially this kind of beauty........

[@kennethpepper4967]

Both of them are purest dynamite. Rawlings reworks the whole idea of acoustic lead guitar.

[@chriptselstrood2229]

YEAH FRICKIN RIGHT!!! all of it, all, all, is beyond perfection of the highest order. i am completely blown away. no seriously blown away! messy isn't it?

[@cstonec]

I L

[@pauljenkins2501]

This version of "Hard Times" gives me chills.

[@tashijoe21]

geese, i just was thinking. I've been listening to Gillian for over 20 years now. I was gonna say she's like family to me now, but she's always felt like that to me.

[@mytimebox1]

This is art

[@tita4ewa]

I have seen them live and they are simply out of this world and THIS performance is just insane. Wow! Mother Nature providing a wind machine and Mother Maybelle coming through those strings. Just amazing.

[@wimd4964]

I would have loved to hear Townes cover one of their songs

[@davidryan7386]

I begged gillian twice over 10 years span to play wayside in SF, they finally did!

[@davidryan7386]

i may have been cause of hotboxing 😞/lol was 3rd row center.

[@ninesticks]

wonderful...tell me please ... just where the time has gone....love these two's music...25 years now at least

[@karentuttle9146]

Absolutely love!

[@matthewwolf7468]

No words. I'm so happy and content right now.

[@mycripplecreek]

That two minute solo at the end of Time the Revelator is completely bonkers. Dave is just unbelievable here.

[@axegas76]

hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, what a sweet banjo sound

[@Sassafrass-qh8po]

They are so cute in their matching outfits omg!!!

[@briencarr3394]

Dave and Gillian really tearing it up there. Wind and all. I love this group! So glad someone posted this. Real. Truth. Talent. 👍🏻

[@CrustyWhiteBread]

This looks like it was a beautiful day.

[@HappySunshineDay]

Wow - and wearing matching Nudie's Western Wear! I just now googled "Nudie's Western Wear Gillian" And viola! A photo of Dave & Gillian on the Oscars red carpet in these suits!

[@zekec6088]

awesome

[@southerncomfortuk]

Absolutely fabulous concert, thanks so much for posting this 🙏

[@thesecretsea]

This is what I call perfection

[@axegas76]

damn, this performance is so deep.

[@zidek50]

Rawlings on "That's the way it goes" though? Unreal!!

[@davidpeightal4918]

45:40 how is it even possible to build that kind of intensity playing into a microphone with a clanky dime store guitar. That is the most amazing thing to me. How he is not breaking strings is a mystery.

[@farnorthpicker56]

Magical combo these two. Fell in love with them after watching the Revelator DVD. Rawlings playing is amazing. I love so many guitar pickers but he’s in a league of his own.!

[@eamonnobrien5829]

Simply wonderful

[@ceceliafraser152]

Again (though loved already)you two elevate .the bar to excellence thru effott..big love

[@donnaoscolaighlange]

Divine harmony!

[@jbuntine1255]

Fly away on high , music from heaven. Beautiful.

[@GiovanniCalzoni]

Sigh! I wish I could see them live!

[@brentbarrows1738]

so simple, I love it!!!!!!!!

[@CloudPeopleRecords]

she's beautiful in so many ways, loved her ever since "O' Brother..." their work together is great too! recommend checking out the Newport festival too, it brought me here...

[@JollyGoodStuffWhat]

Amazing music and totally rad outfits/costumes. Love these guys.

[@James45jd]

Love Gillian Welch

[@stevegiddings2619]

Pink capo! Perfect.

[@vichy7661]

Love the brief ham bone by Gillian on 6 White Horses,,few do hambone any more. Great tune made greater by Gillian + Dave

[@reliablebow]

saw them last night in Ithaca...one of the best concerts I've ever seen!

[@Centerlefty]

+reliablebow Setlist?

[@eosdelb]

I got me a new favorite. this is my kind of music. If you haven't listened to their "NPR tiny desk" performance I urge you to. I heard her on a college radio station singing "paper wings" and had to search for her. So glad I found all this great music.

[@karoI508]

Thanks for recommending NPR performance, it was astounding!

[@thereverendsam413]

The dissonance between the outrageous Nudey outfits and the hambone and clawhammer at the start of Six White Horses is just wonderful.

[@ArtAristocracy]

Gillian Welch you are so BEAUTIFULL

[@eosdelb]

It is almost like if the Carter family had a shredder in the family back in the 40's.

[@axegas76]

The way it goes,, david rawlings damn

[@SteveDonofrio]

They are so good it always makes me smile!

[@smwrbd]

So good they make me cry.

[@Centerlefty]

Miraculous.

[@roshkatan702]

I've been listening to her for I guess, 6, or 7 yrs now....and I can't help but feel like she belongs to another, more sensible, and more noble, time period, say the 1930s. Also a little known fact; she makes a cameo appearance in the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou":)

[@zekec6088]

Cherry picking involved in any such declarative statements... 1930s saw continued institutionalized racial segregation, Hitler's genocide and war well underway, n.t.m. vast racial and gender inequality, including the legality of spousal r*pe, Native people forcibly sterilized (which is ongoing in some places) and forced into abusive boarding schools, the public lynching of black people by whites, and public lack of environmental concience and to some extent even environmental conciousness.

[@zekec6088]

I wonder what you think was sensible and noble about the 1930s, anyway?

[@frankmunich1881]

first song is very nice

[@ceceliafraser152]

WOW I'm just flabbergasted and floored by this 59.59 performance...heart, skill, art, sheer brilliance and an incredible work ethic, WOW, really love love this and my daughter ali who showed me...thanks for the pleasure this is gonna keep on giving, thanks

[@mattwales7171]

Rawlings just SMOKES!

[@sponwed]

It's a contact high.

[@meleecritical]

[@zekec6088]

Saw the tour you mention, in Billings MT

[@mattwales7171]

[@lorimangold2890]

I haven't seen your Music for years, I moved to hole in wall in the Midwest, where it's a hundred miles or more to go see a concert, I have missed your Music, it is November 22nd, 2020, our country is STILL in the GRIPS of a Tyranical Dictator, Hopefully that will end SOON!!!! GOD BLESS the Two of You, You Look GREAT, Wish I coulda gone to that Concert, looks like it was a Beautiful Day

[@axegas76]

[@frankmunich1881]

[@Glitchcraftproductions333]

Outfits. Check. Killer guitar leads. Check. Pretty voiced beautiful woman with silver hair. Check. It’s all covered here folks. Lol

[@jessepoole106]

Keep rocking that pink capo, sir!

[@TheTrueKailash]

he plays that guitar like a gun pointing out at you ha, brilliant

[@nightowl6260]

An anthem of the heart's breaks or a wise-eyed rollick--- just merge into the flow of their creative intimacy.

[@iteagle]

This needs a bump, cause Hard Times ain't gonna Rule My Mind.

[@iteagle]

F'in CCP virus. $*&$&@@&$$)@

[@DavidComdico]

Elvis and Mississippi John Hurt, who would have made that connection? Besides her angelic voice, Gillian is mythopoetic force of nature.

[@jessepoole106]

Going to see them Wednesday. Still can't believe it...
