Steve Earle - The Mountain (Live in Sydney) | Moshcam

[@rossicole6167]

Steve Earle ,you have made me LOVE folk music... listening puts my mind at ease.

[@321minder]

Steve u soooo fuking good, workers rights man. Thanks Steve. most respectful audience too..

[@kmb117]

Fantastic quality, and a great introduction by Steve. It's sad that the Labour movement and the environmental movement seem to have such disparate aims at times. Only a unified people can stand against the juggernaut of capital.

[@JamesShelton59]

kmb117 Unified people could heal so many of this worlds tragic ills. And unified people are the greatest enemy of the greedy and evil elite. So they do everything possible to keep us all at odds with one another.

[@judithkirby8669]

He's always got a story...that's what I love so much about his performances.

[@langstongrandma]

How can I love this more?

[@PickPlay720]

Love it. Steve is my favorite folk singer songwriter by far. go see him live he will blow you away. his solo show is so good.

[@kennethholland2006]

Michael Dunn saw him Wednesday night. ..great performance

[@Moshcam]

One of our faves too!

[@ericescorcia3161]

Holy FUUUUCK, it;s Walon from the wire. I recently started getting into bluegrass and a lot of people covering this song, never thought it was him, what a surprise.

[@taylorjohn8898]

We, still have 20 under our mine. (R.I.P. West Coast, New Zealand x)

[@brendonleary]

I think about that mine in NZ every time I sing that line.

[@colerainfan1143]

Steve is perfect for this song.

[@XJonAye]

I grew up in a defunct mine town in Pennsylvania, there is nothing there now, just houses and old buildings. My dad brother pap and uncle all worked at the mill a few miles away, that closed too, in the last year. One day about a year ago, a man came from a company who wanted to lease the mineral rights below my father's property, and also everyone else in a five mile radius. Everyone signed those papers and gets five hundred per acre, per year. That's a rip off, I told my dad to organize with the rest of the street, they should get more, more often, and never have to pay to heat their homes ever again. Those companies are making billions well the people who live there have to work at Wal-Mart, because there is no industry

[@1Decos]

see you in nanaimo...can't wait!

[@mrzap8818]

Genius. ....

[@margaretgraves5109]

Mine 💖

[@margaretgraves5109]

So true

[@bentolleson8582]

You guys should check out Benjamin Tod's cover of this song

[@scmorson]

Amen

[@byronletner8061]

Love the song and Steve but the only time I've ever lost a job in my life I was a member of a union. The union didn't save my job but they took their union dues out of last check.

[@robsnodgrass915]

inspiration runs it's course.........check out Sierra Ferrel's cover--- you'd be proud , Steve.

[@gabrielladavidson2938]

Check out Benjamin Tod's.

[@jl5464]

both great covers. Levon Helm also has a beautiful cover of this tune. still, I'm partial to the song writer's original. cannot help but love this song. ❤

[@davidbarnett1740]

music starts at 3:40 --- Sorry, but being from a coal mining don't need the lecture, I know t better than most. It s the younger people who need to learn some of this stuff. --- Yes, was born on a mountain. --- Thanks for the song, Steve.

[@ptbread6217]

Yes I agree

[@quiknature]

Amazing :)

[@russellmakar579]

I own my mineral rights.

[@Ali.g.97]

Benjamin Tods version >

[@thomasgricezodiac]

Kinda shitty to post that. I love Ben Tod's version but Earle wrote the words and created the original, and it's quite good. I'm sure Ben Tod thinks so as well.

[@Justcarlosdiaz]

His version wouldnt exist if it wasn't for steve so.. kinda balances out, yknow?

[@andreabatsche8913]

Both versions are great

[@dustinjohnson3463]

Don't push the miner out of a job

[@markaivaz2908]

I love Steve Earle dont get me wrong. I Do Love Levons Helms Version Better.

[@erichlf]

You should hear Benjamin Tod's version.

[@waynethera2712]

Erich Foster, love Benjamin’s cover. The guy just exudes coal mining sorrow.

[@wlgj1341]

The problem is mining at all, not who’s getting payed most for extracting it

[@wlgj1341]

Steve , unfortunately, will have to work on his butt-scratching before he gets my vote for public office

[@midtenn2800]

The United States is a free country, people choose to work in mines but a good song, Levon Helms version is a lot better.

[@sheilaBoyd1124]

People can't work in mines if the mines are closed. And how can you STILL call this a FREE COUNTRY??? LONG SINCE GONE.

[@kerocali5337]

Mid Tenn Hell yeah middle Tennessee, Lawrence county native here. Listen to Ben Todd's version.

[@midtenn2800]

Nashville Native. Clarksville area now.

[@midtenn2800]

I feel free everyday. I choose where I live, where I work, and I go to church freely. I am sorry that you do not.

[@turbot9]

and you are free to be a douche canoe, obviously. no pressure...
