Old 97's - Champaign Illinois (Bing Lounge)

[@timnokken4284]

I'm just really happy the came to Champaign, IL. Saw them multiple times there while I was in grad school

[@whitneymacdonald4396]

These guys are so fun.

[@neverwill84]

I agree, completely. Sad, sad, sad excuse for an audience for this LIFE changing band; the fabulous old 97's.

[@TheEarlHaight]

These guys are American treasures

[@midwesttreasurehunter349]

What a stoick lame crowd...good lord this is one of my bar anthems!!! Love you guys!

[@TheChamberlaingirl]

Really love this!

[@Cromagn]

It actually is. Rhett Miller contacted Bob Dylan and got permission to use the song, and put new words to it, and made the song the Old 97's own

[@marcnevins9491]

Loved them in Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special

[@arthousefilms]

Nice engineering! Great performance. Amazing band. Regardless of the TCFS audience, these guys give 100 percent!

Been living in Champaign IL for almost four years and "heaven for hearts that are half true" feels apt. It ain't hell...but it isn't the full experience of heaven either by a long shot.

[@alcapone9480]

Grew up there, How true

[@JoshBradshawofficial]

Exaclty how a good rock and roll band should work.

[@aidanmagill6769]

One of the best Desolation Row covers out there. Ballsy to completely rewrite Dylan's lyrics but it works.

[@curtzeek8818]

It's not rewriting his lyrics. He wrote a new song to the same music. It has nothing to do with Desolation Row but for the fact of the music.

[@albertandrews130]

Bob approves

[@DudeAbides1969]

What other Desolation Row covers are there? I'm honestly curious, didn't know they existed.

[@rodolfohernandez772]

Awesome!!

[@mritz205]

COW PUNK!

[@monstergarageoutlaw]

lol love song live 35 miles east of Champaign agree completetey

[@jimschleich8753]

When I read the liner notes and saw the "co-write" with Bob I almost did a spit take. The lads made it their own!

[@buckhorncortez]

They listed Bob Dylan as a co-writer to avoid copyright problems as the music melody is Dylan's Desolation Row.

[@coltinmoore5244]

Champaign, IL lifelong resident here. You do not want sent here.

[@kennethandert7774]

ah, heaven IS here on earth.......

[@jezebeljones659]

Rule No. 1 of this kind of band: always have a band member who looks sort of like Stephen King. This is a real fine band and song!

[@marcnevins9491]

Why does it look like he’s playing in “G” when, if you play along with, it’s clearly in”F”?

[@davwms2]

could be detuned a full step, to get those low telecaster riffs. Then you have to play your chords a full step "up"

[@TheYajrennat]

Up north in Milwaukee, where booze makes no one blush

[@williamkoppos7039]

And now, performing in front of a Dead audience.....

[@craigchastain7016]

Where are Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn in my life?

[@albertandrews130]

Some kind of lab experiment?
