Magnolia Electric Co playing "John Henry Split my Heart" in Lleida 2009

[@Jenova_7]

We all die, some of us earlier than others, but few achieve this level of raw poetic honesty through art. You hit this one out of the park, Jason.

[@danilogiannibirolo1187]

Yeah it' true!! Jason, Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Dan Stuart, Chuck Prophet, Steve Wynn, Rowland St Howard!

[@cordial]

ain't that the truth.

[@mglynn33]

Amen.

[@intherein]

I love how much his band loved him.

[@JoshMillerphoto]

I found myself standing on the mountain beneath my full moon heart...

[@FaithyJo]

Don't worry, those goosebumps will go away in about twenty minutes!

[@drumgold23]

No, they did not.

[@HectorHernandez-ts2sr]

Not even in 20 years...

[@alicasoto4497]

20 thousand years later when humanity is gone- aliens will find these videos and fly across space listening to magnolia electric company.. .

[@davidthiessen911]

John Henry is a symbol of strength and endurance, of exploited labor, of the dignity of a human being against the degradations of the machine age, and of racial pride and solidarity. During World War II his image was used in U.S. government propaganda as a symbol of social tolerance and diversity. This is the most wrenching , brilliant, song about the legend ever recorded. Its pure Molina. Long live his memory...

[@hhotell]

I miss him like a brother

[@ChrisHeathFilms]

Wow! Can only imagine how this sounded live. Amazing

[@chrisprocope8]

[@keithscott4453]

Who is the guitar player on the far left? He plays like a man possessed.

[@giosin8711]

Is Jason Groth.

[@TravisKearney]

Jason Paul Evans Groth

[@TR-yi8up]

who's playing bass here?

[@giosin8711]

Is Mike Kapinus.

[@TravisKearney]

Mike is on keyboard. That is Evan. He passed away in a house fire. The “Recording Josephine” documentary has a little tribute to him.

[@TR-yi8up]

@@TravisKearney that’s what I thought and why I asked...thanks

[@wied]

@@TravisKearney That's not correct; that house fire you speak of happened two years before this show. So, um, not possible.

[@TravisKearney]

@@wied Who is it? Looks like after Mark left, and Pete moved back to Drums. Evan played when Pete couldn’t make it in Fall of 07, so not sure. Maybe an old friend of Jason’s 🤷🏻‍♂️. It’s in Erin’s book, but I don’t want to look it up.

[@danilogiannibirolo1187]

what is the name of his guitarist?

[@emmarossignol4445]

Jason Groth

[@Esetipodeahi]

enserio han tocado aqui tio....

[@alicasoto4497]

[@Esetipodeahi]

[@beganny]

[@mofftarkin5434]

Sounds even better at 1.5X

[@MrNewembassy]

This is the reason they came up with the word "shambolic". True story.
