Steve Earle with The V-Roys - The Rain Came Down & Feel Alright (Live at Farm Aid 1997)

Steve Earle performs "The Rain Came Down" and "Feel Alright" (at 3:59) with The V-Roys live at the Farm Aid concert in Tinley Park, Illinois on October 4, 1997. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Audible proof that Steve should run for president 2024

[@shannamac9907]

Does anyone else realize these lyrics are genius?

[@GildasOpitz]

Steve Earle is on of the the greatest american songwriters ever. And i`d stand on Bob Dylan´s coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that...

[@princessofhesse]

There might be more of "Steve to love" here, but whatever, he never gave less than 100% anytime I've seen him in the last 25 years...always a joy, always.

[@garyjthorn]

He gained weight on methadone, as many do.

Hey , Maryland’s finally gettin’ rain. Hallelujah

[@bryaneaves7680]

I lived in Nashville back in the 80’s and 90’s when Steve was playing more frequently so I went to see him every chance I had. Rates in the top 5 musicians I have ever seen. And I “grew up” in the 70’s and saw the best!

If this song doesn't stir your soul.... you have no soul. ... imo

[@hollidaybrown]

Earle is a music god.

[@princessofhesse]

[@FarmAid]

Thank you, we updated the information here!

[@bakermantube]

Great songs, great live versions!!

[@lanagolden6909]

Yes great

[@MicHarrisonOfficial]

There are two songs on this video - The Rain Came Down, then at the 3:59 mark Feel Alright starts.

[@ItsAidanJames]

It's nice to know he can't get some of the verses right occasionally either. I no longer feel alone.

[@mlwsf]

Happens when you are as prolific as he is. I am surprised he can remember some of these songs at all. I say this having seen him Solo, with Bluegrass Dukes and various incarnations of the Dukes and doing different songs, sometimes with different instruments, in different contexts.

[@skeetabix36]

Thanks for the info

I guess Steve was a skater back in '97 with the chain wallet and everything. If you look close you can see his board leaning against the drums in the back.

[@princessofhesse]

never heard that one, he was just out of jail and clean for the first time in years. I know that much.

[@nilradem]

Pretty sure the chain wallet is something that he picked up when he was hanging out in biker bars, and bikers were wearing them well before 90s skater culture..... And it was functional because he was also spending a lot of time in sketchy areas buying drugs in the 80s and early 90s.

I feel alright WAY too slow
