Seasick Steve gets pissed off before playing Gentle on my mind by John Hartford

[@trapar1374]

Mirages and memories haunting our past and blurring our present. I love Seasick Steve, hope he gets to Oklahoma someday.

[@pawznplay2772]

That was ME driving that Mustang !! So ok a girl can DREAM can't she! 😊

[@bobbycigarette]

love him he is human his music sincere even his cover song is sung sincerely

[@Daness74]

Steve=you've got me man and I've got you going straight through! Lovely and real kind dude - 💖 love it!God bless!!🍀🐞

[@shaunw9270]

I agree with you Rob. He is real and his reaction to that rude & ignorant audience member was justified 100%

[@Millennial_Mike]

Adore this song.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

I like the Kustom amp, reminds me of John Fogerty. Why do people bother going to concerts if they want to talk, and demonstrate how witty they are-some folks are just fucked in the head.

[@122Music1]

Story telling is a forgotten art/trade. Noone cares anymore what a real man has to say. They only care if yer famous and pretty... God help us

[@peggygibbons479]

122Music, I am hoping to God that this virus isolation tragedy has taught us all to look at what's important & what we been wasting our time paying attention to. I hope my 22 yr old daughter's generation feels the same & I can tell she does. Her & her Boyfriend went fishing & camping & when they got to go out, they've only been hanging out with us or his relatives.

[@PercussusResurgo]

OK that is the right way to handle a heckler! Admire his honesty and patience!

[@elkhunter76]

Steve ya got to love Wyoming... I surely do. Appreciate your musical talent!

[@dilligaf700]

Can't wait for some one to make a film of Steve's life and rise to success.

[@chrishershey5033]

This song brings a tear to my eyes

[@SAGERODS250REM]

Always have loved this song from my youth and Steve did a great job with it.

[@paulinehanson7438]

Cool a little John Hartford flash back for me 1979 in Nixa Mo...............you rock Steve....

[@lindajoan5497]

After they shut up, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL❤️

[@heatherc2939]

Imagine. Quiet? For a concert? You go Steve.

[@tinamather1231]

Awesome this guy ❤

[@thefeelcompany]

I’ve watched Steve talk to a crowd of thousands in a field in summer while he pulls up a lady to serenade and the whole field didn’t have a problem. There was plenty of talking in the crowd but it was a festival. Fair enough. I’m not a full time musician but if the music’s good and the banter from performer, particularly someone like Steve, is part of the show then, yeah it’s cool. Normally at a decent venue you’d just have a word with the door staff and tell them about the prick making the noise. Normally works. Sometimes you just tell them to shut the fuck up if you can be bothered with hassle that night. But I love and live for it so I tend try both.

[@patrickteto]

Steve's just a regular guy that doesn't suck... Gotta love em!

[@dannydine5263]

Would love to hear the complete live version.That was pretty damn good.Nice voice.

[@asleepinthealley]

Glenn Campbell did it but it's a John Hartford tune.

[@joemcmurry7768]

asleepinthealley yes, but Glen did it best!

[@tomgarrett6303]

John Hartford wrote it and did everything better. Dude was a legend.

[@rca6576]

@@tomgarrett6303 YES this! John Hartford did it too and did it best. Aeroplane is amazing too.

[@ethangcosby]

John Hartford was my uncle. At most family reunions I get the privilege of playing guitar for his wife while she sings. It’s a real treat every time.

[@rabokarabekian409]

On Glen's tv show there was a running gag where he tried to get John to talk. There was apocryphal folklore about John not joining some union. But then there was: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKS3fZqnjd2DopY

Agree. To many talkers at these concerts.

[@flagwanker6346]

Wonderful!

Rest in peace Glenn. You're deeply missed.

The Netherlanders adopted this man for good. He feels really good down there between them.

[@krisk9147]

Sometimes I feel like people go to concerts just to drink. If so, it's really annoying and obnoxious

[@kyleorten]

And that's just the performers.

People are not normally obnoxious and rude when stoned. People that are drunk are almost always loud and obnoxious.

Good music

I was really enjoying that.. it's a shame the end was cut.

[@oldman9843]

How did you not kick their ass ?

[@jennifercopus6651]

The same thing happened when we saw him at third man records in Nashville a few years back! If people want to get drunk, I wish they’d just go to a bar.

[@148woodrow]

Never walk out into a crowd in the dark to a nut. Invite him to come to you. Like the story so the guy did not know what he was missing.

[@phantom0621]

Had never heard of Seasick Steve till the New Year of 2016/17 (31/12/16) - and was mesmerised by his playing. And have always thought Glenn Campbell's version of Gentle on My Mind couldn't be beaten - although Dean Martin's version is a close 2nd. But Steve's version has so much feeling and pathos - I'm going to have to have a re-think! And whereas Glenn's Roadies/Security would have kicked that loudmouth right outta the show, I truly believe Steve would have done it himself, had it become necessary! :-)

[@bood22ataol]

That's right! I said "I ain't giving you no tree fiddy you goddam Loch Ness monster! Get your own goddam money!"

[@rdccs5122]

I love this song.

[@majordendrocopos]

Song written by John Hartford but Glenn Campbell had the biggest hit with it. Nice version Steve!

[@toddjones529]

majordendrocopos Great song. Met and spoke with John Hartford in Nashville once. Nice smart musician who left us too early.

[@kevinjamesdawes7223]

He totally gets this song. Less is more.

[@willidude7412]

I’m thinking that not to many “dime a dozen” artists get to work with John Paul Jones and they definitely don’t play didley bows @ Royal Albert Hall. Steve’s a musical fookin’ genius! Sure woulda liked to see Steve whoop that boy’s ass. Go get’em Steve! You the man!

[@michaelfeast9869]

Best cover of this song.......EVER

[@darkmysterytemple]

banjo tune by john hartford

[@robsgirl6465]

LOL. Steve getting all Axl Rose on the heckler. Rock on, Steve!!!

[@billbonnington7916]

This was in the old Tivoli in Utrecht one cold evening, Steve was fabulous, the few arseholes at the bar not so. Never seen such a humble man on stage, made it large at a late stage in his life but has quickly become many a person's musical hero in that short time.

[@jornjorn3837]

No this was in Nijmegen, i recorded this video

[@billbonnington7916]

Wow, same thing happened in Utrecht, he described them as "dumb as a box of rocks"

[@SeattleMarinerMan]

Bill Bonnington hahaha got caught telling you're bull shit

[@WriterMikeMonson]

Stories from a performer onstage aren't supposed to be true -- it's show business, entertainment -- not court testimony.

[@EatMeBeatMeGirl]

Wrong. They happened but so did other things that get left out because they aren't such good stories.

[@not_today_satan_7]

I love it all his story his song its just damn sexy

[@joerohling7615]

Glenn Campbell, recorded Gentle on my mind, The song was written by John Hartford.

[@yankumpire5]

Glenn Campbell, Dean Martin, Patti Page, Lenny Dee, Bill Anderson, Aretha Franklin along with Seasick Steve and many others also covered the song, John Hartford WROTE & RECORDED it April of 1967. Glenn Campbell covered it June of 1967. Glen Campbell had the hit, but completely secondary to the conversation 3 years ago

[@JeffinBville]

I'm sure it's down there in the belly of the comments but "Gentle on My Mind" is by John Hartford. Glenn Campbell may have sung it but he didn't write it.

[@blzbob7936]

Hey . . hey! . . where's the rest of it? Aw never mind, thanks for the vid. x

[@jornjorn3837]

Battery died...

He’s totally right. I lived in Wyoming for a year.

You think he was talking about Highway 59 on the east side of the state?

[@GediSpock]

G'waaan Steve! Tell em lad.

[@benyoung4305]

This gentleman is a genuine bad ass!

[@Automedon2]

No he's not. He is a studio musician who came up with this gimmick of being a hobo. He was never homeless - always lived in a house. In fact, he was a disco performer in the day.

[@misterx8592]

True story. That’s a fact. This hobo scheme is a gimmick.

[@redbad7024]

does anyone have the guitar tabs of this awesome song??

[@aliwhitwell]

Google it. Written by John Hartford also recorded by Glen Campbell.

[@Automedon2]

It's always odd when people throw out a question like that, expecting someone to reply. Should they be posting tabs for the song You don't know that tabs for every song you can think of are just one Google search away?

[@rorylowdon5918]

Hey ya Steve When u next playing in Cornwall, I know you like to surf but have you tried kayak fishing yet? I have two yaks and jackets if you fancy a trip? Actual catching of fish not garuanteed😂 but there will always be a backup dinner dude👍

Not the first time I see this but hey it is what it iis. Steve is like a human Rat Rod but damn he plays good, love hhis music

[@mrchipster31]

Men and women used to be able to reinvent themselves with great success before the advent of the great and wonderful computer age. The funny thing is, a whole lot on the internet is BS. I'm listed as having lived in several places I've never been by some of the so-called "information gathering sites". Long live Steve Wold, a throwback to a better era!

[@dogwood8031]

Ramblings of a homeless guy. You posters are very kind.

[@Automedon2]

he has never been homeless. His character is an invention.

[@skullduggery3377]

was he playing in the junkyard or replacing the engine in his car or something before the show? wtf.

[@Whistler4u]

Never understood people talking so much during a show. I saw Prince in a small club and was way up front. Bitch besides me decided this was the place to have a discussion. That didn't last too long.

Except he never was a hobo. The whole act was invented - every part of his story is a made up character. Just a dime a dozen musician who came up with this angle to build his act.

It's a good job he made those people shut up so he could tell his story. It was such a great story. Think it's the best story I've ever heard. In fact it might be the best story ever told in the world ever. Imagine if those people hadn't shut up - we might never have heard seasick steve's story. Can you even begin to imagine how awful that would have been?

Faut que je traduise vite fait pour les francophone. Steve essaye de raconter une histoire et il y a des gens l'écoutent pas. Il demande poliment un peu de silence. Il dit à une meuf: " "ferme ta gueule biatch. Qu'est ce que t'as a raconter de si interessant?" Elle continue. "Si continue je vais descendre moi même.Tu crois que ces gens ont payé pour t'entendre parler? Ils n'ont pas payé pour venir ici et t'entendre parler. (Vers 1min40)"Je vais vous raconter une histoire qui m'est arrivé, mais si je t'entends encore parler je vais sauter en bas et te tirer dehors moi même par la peau des fesses. et si tu crois que j'en suis pas capabe, tu vas savoir qui je suis"je joue pour les gens qui sont venus m'écouter, et si certains veulent parler, il y a une porte par làje vais te rembourser, mais je veux vous raconter cette histoire. (après la meuf gueule, et il se ressoit et raconte son truc)"il faisait très chaud sur une route très droite, quand le soleil tape fort quand la route deserte chauffe tellement qu'on dirait un mirage sur ces putains de route toutes droite pendant des 10aines de kilometres et dans le fond j'ai vu une sorte de mirage et moi et ma tête on a commencé à rêver une belle fille et une belle voiture qui vient me chercher et m'emmener quelque part. J'ai vu une voiture arriver, et je crois voir une mustang de 1967 qui s'approche et se garre je regarde dedans et je me dis, putain! la plus belle des filles dedans et comme j'espère meême pas que c'est pour moi, je regarde autour pour voir pour qui elle s'arrête. Au millieu d'une prairie, il n'y a même pas un arbre. elle me dit non, toi! et elle était prete à partir, et ma garge était tellement séche que je ne pouvais même pas parler. Elle commence à s'ennuyer, et allume la radio. Et une chanson est sortie de la radio, et cette chanson me parlait. Un gars chantait pour une fille. Et je me souviens bien de cette chanson, et je vais la chanter pour vous.
