Shovels & Rope Birmingham David Letterman 1 30 13

Look, I've been around a while, I've heard a lot of great songs - this is one of the best songs ever written.

[@paulcrick856]

I agree, it is a song that i put on almost every playlist i share with people to this day. It has everything and the story telling is great and just draws you in. One of those songs everyone can find a way to relate to.

[@koenigdp1978]

David Letterman always had the best taste in music.

[@kevinconley1575]

One of my favorite Letterman performances. 10/10

[@paulcrick856]

Yeah, they killed It!

[@JohnLittle-i6o]

Fuck me, they did Dave? Been a fan for a decade now, saw 'em eight years ago, and had not the faintest idea. This is amazing.

[@joyegreg]

I'm, what, 10 years late to this party? Came across a live version of Mississippi Nuthin' and now I cannot get enough of this band. Seriously, I could imagine them in the Kennedy Center Honors. They're incredible, important American artists. Hallelujah!

[@paulcrick856]

I agree, the talent is off the charts and their song writing ability feels right.

[@mayneeyuh8713]

I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to The Devil is All Around. ❤

[@EveRainwater]

Never late. Love it today.

[@aliwhitwell]

Seen them twice when they toured Scotland. 🙂

[@dpohl2351]

Saw them last month in Fayetteville Ark. OUTSTANDING show! How just two people can make so much music on a stage is unbelievable.

[@paulcrick856]

That's awesome, wish i could have been there.

[@trentalan1525]

By far the best biographical song ever.

[@paulcrick856]

Yeah, amazing songwriting.

​@@paulcrick856what's it about

[@hhearst]

@@jacobjohnston7945 The song is basically about them. It is their story.. The story of Shovels and Rope.

[@mangohaeppchen3447]

I’m shocked these two aren’t more famous. I don’t like crowds or loud music, but got over it to attend five of their concerts. I would’ve had them play “O’ Be Joyful,” “Bad Luck” or “Gasoline” though.

[@paulcrick856]

That's great that their music got you to step outside your comfort zone and see them live. The power of great music.

[@sylvainswift3234]

One of my preferred band... What a power!

[@paulcrick856]

Amazing how 2 people can make such a full sound.

[@bindig1]

Like Dave said, fantastic. Carrie Ann's voice is awesome

[@jasonbrace5459]

you guys are f#cking great!!

[@louisbrugnoni7639]

Seeing them in Rochester NY March 26! ❤.

[@paulcrick856]

That's awesome. Wish i could come. Have a great time.

[@mayneeyuh8713]

How was it? I’d love to see them live.

[@louisbrugnoni7639]

@@mayneeyuh8713 It was great! A woman I can’t remember opened for them and she was great also! I took my family and they all loved the show.

[@jasonwilson9406]

It's so good

[@paulcrick856]

couldn't agree more.

[@fedbumoz987]

Grand intro Dave.

[@mayneeyuh8713]

They shook hands at the end. 😍

[@Pffffffffttttt]

They switched love it

Thank you for uploading this!

[@paulcrick856]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@dewilew2137]

@@paulcrick856 I watched it hours ago, and every time I think about it, I start crying again. I just can’t get enough of them though.

[@joemanco1075]

Underrated

[@bettinajoseph3758]

Just two singers with guitar and drums, percussion ... Great! Oh yeah ... And the Mundharmonika (don't know the English word)

[@paulcrick856]

I agree, just pure music and musicianship. We just call it Harmonica in English so basically the same.

[@bigshannon6065]

Classic

[@geoffblack9655]

I mean………WOW
