We celebrated a great 4th there with Steve, Eddie and the good sport cameo by her husband, the forever cherished Paul Simon.

[@lillyrocks2011]

Steve Martin is totally a complete artist. He acts amazing, he can sing!, and play music!. wow!. And he sings great.

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Great writer too. Read The Pleasure Of My Company.

[@patriotchick4420]

seriously though, this music makes me happy and what an extraordinary talent.

[@MsEco13]

Wow, I love this song! Dark and funny and catchy, just great.

[@Nigusi1985]

Thanks for sharing this! Great trio! I loved the scene where the greatest songwriter ever complains to his wife :D

[@Hannah-gd3kc]

so cute

[@johnmalcolm4822]

I didn't spot Bob Dylan on the stage.

[@John42ification]

Always hoped these three would get together on a stage, and very glad to see they did! Thank you for sharing this!

[@tulsatombob2769]

I used to watch Edie sing with The New Bohemians many years ago in Dallas, and she has aged very well...In fact, she looks great!

[@russellcrawford7453]

If you think Edie looks great, which she does, you should see her older sister Laura! In Dallas Texas. Edie signed my Trix cereal box 2018. Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box, religion is the smile on a dog

[@pattyhopping8828]

I used to watch here there too. I lived in Dallas too.

[@johngifford7725]

She always did look great. My dog's ghost thinks so to.

[@kevinmcconnell3641]

Yes yes Edie is beautiful!!

[@WonderingAboutThat]

very amusing to see the collaboration! and a beautiful song. thanks for sharing.

[@MrMiketoase]

Never seen this before. I just think it's great.

[@IDisposable]

Loves me some Edie and Steve!

[@shurshot2764]

+Marc Brooks (IDisposable) I prefer the much older Steve and Edie

[@scottybrown5772]

That is a shit ton of iconic talent going on.

[@lynn7ofhearts]

Way cool! Steve Martin is singing and playing the banjo! A cute toe-tapping tune! If I could, I'd polka to this! lol I didn't realize Paul Simon was short! lol It was nice to hear Edie Brickell again! The big band in the background added to the song! :D

[@scottybrown5772]

He's not that short, Edie is 6'4"

[@jessicamoore1314]

Scott brown Bull shit, she is not. Paul is only 5’3.

[@francisbtube]

Uuuuggghh Big band is called an Orchestra! 😉

[@lynn7ofhearts]

@@francisbtube Picky, eh?! lol No worries! I enjoyed it nonetheless! :)

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

That was pretty good. I'd heard Love but never knew the lyrics. What a song. This was great fun and I knew Paul Simon wasn't all that tall. His wife loves him. Per 2024. Steve Martin is a rocket scientist. Well, actually, he is acceptable.

[@brenda19ish]

That was great! Thanks for sharing.

[@karashea7823]

Great song, Steve!

[@chinookskier]

Very beautiful and heart warming.

[@sandybarney1134]

Late show with Steve Martin you tube

Yeah Music! Music! Doit! do it!

she is gorgeous

[@antonioduverge3558]

Two shows for the price of one, lucky bastards!

[@lestownsend]

Not just good fantastic stuff the best there is

[@monoped8437]

steve & edie 2.0

[@JohnKunkleAuctioneer]

Sweet!

[@graiffoundation]

actually, if you look closely, simon didn't know the song and didn't play on it...

[@DonTrump-sv1si]

Had no clue Steve Martin had any musical talent. Pretty cool.

[@morrismonet3554]

Millennial much? LOL

[@DonTrump-sv1si]

@@morrismonet3554 Nope Gen X. You laugh at dumb things much? "Oh I know Steve Martin had musical talent so that makes me better than you ha ha ha" Try not being a l0ser one time in your life.

[@rowdyyates5345]

The dude did play banjo on SNL………hello.

[@leonardodalongisland]

Makes sense-most Trump fans are ignorant-about most things. Martin has been playing the banjo for over 50 years.

[@bartofilms]

Great Country Song / Ballad! If U like, check out “Split Lip Rayfield’ Steve was and is, way ahead of his time.

[@berringaboy]

Fuck me. Paul is punching above his weight with Edie.

[@nudnick]

Sure. That’s why they’ve been happily married for about 30 years and have three kids together.

[@berringaboy]

@@nudnick 30 years and 3 kids is the definition of unhappiness

[@nudnick]

@@berringaboy You must be a really miserable person. I love that for you.

[@legalman2891]

And ...That happens wen you get married with a much younger person.

[@done1675]

Edie won the lottery.

[@donnahall3902]

That was crazy . What about Paul?

[@sadie376]

He was just doing a guest spot at his wifes' gig.

[@jondoe888i]

They don't say - but I assume Paul didn't pass the audition, by the way he left the stage?

[@paradisefilms3355]

Is that a Harmony guitar Paul Simon is playing?

[@leonardodalongisland]

What is a "harmony guitar"?

[@paradisefilms3355]

@@leonardodalongisland A "Harmony" guitar was a relatively inexpensive guitar marketed by Sears, Roebuck Co up until the late 60's

[@leonardodalongisland]

@@paradisefilms3355 Thanks

[@alan4sure]

I had a Harmony guitar about 1970.

[@donnahall3902]

What a let down that Paul was barely included.

[@allanchrist666]

I thought that was a relief! It was funny watching him try to reach the microphone! 😂

[@shannondemerly3756]

Most actors can sing well

[@Msfifisquarepantz]

And Prince Harry on Bass.

[@michaelcruise2774]

isn't Paul Simon married to Edie Brickman

[@michaelcruise2774]

Yes they are

[@ufotofu9]

+Michael Cruise No, Paul Simon is married to Edie Brickell. He and Edie Brickman were just good friends. He was also married to Carrie Fischer... Fact.

[@skiadikt]

joking aside, paul was dissed on this one. pushed off to the side on an inaudible mic and song he had no role in in. just sayin ...

[@jodywilson246]

It's true that you can't hear Paul at all, but I got the impression he didn't want to stand out --- that it was his choice to just be "off to the side" for this song. Very kind of him.

[@Jenzemannen]

That was the joke

[@russellcrawford7453]

It's always nice when a star is gracious to another performer and it helps to have humility when you have an ego. A few days ago Edie and the Bohemians performed here in Dallas 2018 and she signed my Trix cereal box. Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box, religion is a smile on a dog

[@Flocculation]

When you gain more perspective, you’ll learn that not everyone needs attention all of the time, especially when they are comfortable in their own (substantial) accomplishments and are accompanying their wife - and no doubt, a friend in Steve Martin.

[@kevindyck1175]

Paul Simon could have contributed more right?! I feel like he was faking playing the whole time. I love Paul Simon! Dammit Paul.

[@stevenmeyer9674]

This was a concert performance. This was probably Steve's only lead performance. Very misleading.

[@melgreensings]

Sense of humor people! C'mon!

[@juliemacsween8326]

Love this but Paul’s wife seems a bit high pitched xx

[@artgallery743]

Move the stool.

[@upendasana7857]

I love murder ballads:)

[@elgatoremendado1115]

paul simon makes to see Edie Brickell like a little girl

[@jondoe8889]

A great song, but it sounds so much crisper when done with just the SCR's! The orchestra seemed to drag, and sounded like a lazy accordion player behind them. Sometimes, fewer is better... And I hate to say it, but these July/ December marriages never make the man look very attractive. She's 48yo here, while Paul is 72! Eventually, that pretty young thing makes you look tarnished. Long live the both of them!

[@jimbolyo]

looks like Mr. Simon was disrespected. He's a great guitarist and vocalist, maybe he should have had a bigger presence ?

[@MsThebeMoon]

I got the feel he didn't want to make a bigger presence. They probably asked him or whatever and he didn't want to overshadow them --- especially his wife. It's not like Edie's been cranking the hits and touring since "What I am is what I am".

[@2006gtobob]

Bluegrass-style music does NOT need an orchestra. Any genre worth its salt doesn't need one.

[@stevenmercer8299]

music is music. Edie, Paul, and Steve are not some pretenders. They are world famous stars. They do not play backyard music.

[@stevenmercer8299]

OK we love hillbiilly's but hillbilly's only buy moonshine not records or videos.

[@shel3099]

A great song can be done in any style by any singer. Even a comedian with a banjo.

[@CrazyBear65]

@@stevenmercer8299 Why does everything have to be about money? Who cares who buys what from the corporate junk mill?

[@CrazyBear65]

That all depends. Oh, and let's not forget the ear of the beholder.

[@TheMouko]

Edie love these old guys I think she is doing Paul & Steve.....

[@tamoshanter6268]

you know she has been married to Paul for quite a while, right? They have a daughter who is a singer in her own right.

[@PhilipOHanlonOAHN]

What a waste of Mr Simon’s talent.

[@rowdyyates5345]

Oh shut up.

[@asklewislewisharrison9755]

Hey Phil. It's called having mindless fun! You think Simon should stay home all day and introspect? Jys asking.

[@wordy4908]

He was there to support his talented wife who earlier gave up her vocal and so gwriting career to have and raise their children.

[@user-tv3nu8zs3s]

Steve sing and act so boring.😢

[@mfc4591]

this is crap, Edie is so talented as is Paul. Both were ignored. My 12 year old niece could have one better, seriously

[@stevenmeyer9674]

Don't you just love youtube comments?

[@fairterr]

@@stevenmeyer9674 No one made this person listen to this.... or leave a stupid comment

[@nudnick]

Yeah, Edie was ignored by Steve Martin when they wrote and recorded two hit albums and a successful Broadway musical together, and toured. You're a dimwit.
