[@Adventuresingearland]

Goosebumps. Got lost in this whilst cooking. Food burnt. Start again. Worth it for the performance. Cha…..po. 👏🏻

[@Thebroslandreth]

Sorry for the burnt dinner! 🔥🍲🚒🧯👩‍🚒🧨

[@TruckinSongster]

The way Dave is watching in awe is all of us right now!!!!

[@Thebroslandreth]

I was just as gobsmacked as the rest of you, I promise!

[@TruckinSongster]

@@Thebroslandreth Brother, we could tell! Your reaction was just as beautiful as Joey’s singing! You already know I’m in your corner, especially after the kindness and support you’ve offered me… But independent from my own biases, you two really bring something to the conversation we just don’t see enough. The whole story of you two becoming the men you are today, and the music that comes from your journeys, along with the brotherly love we see in your videos… It’s just a sight to behold! Love you guys!!!

[@Mark_B585]

I listened to this song today with family and friends and celebrated my mom who we lost one year ago. Thank you.

[@TheBeardedDiver]

Just realized I now need a gospel Bros album. I will also accept a Christmas album. Thanks homies

[@Thebroslandreth]

Hmmm....

[@joshualeigh]

What's crazy is that even if Joey was 'only' a singer, songwriter, hell, even Hammond player...that would be enough of a gift to us all. A consummate musician in the truest sense....and that's not even factoring in guitar! Beautiful stuff.

[@Thebroslandreth]

Very kind, thank you!

[@songsfromcarly]

The way Dave watches and smiles ❤️ amazing crazy talent 👏🏻

[@Thebroslandreth]

My gig was easy on this one! (Dave here)

[@kennymac58]

Thanks again! Keep them coming, please.

[@Thebroslandreth]

Can do!

[@matthewalexa2211]

The bros will go down as one of the top 5 concerts of my life. Please come back to Charlotte NC . If not, the wife and I will travel next time you are in Nashville

[@Thebroslandreth]

Can't wait to get back, the last show at Neighbourhood Theatre was so fun.

[@PJ-wm9nq]

Others' interpretations of Cohen's songs ALWAYS add kudos to his writing talents. This is another exceptional performance. Thank you.

[@Thebroslandreth]

High praise!

[@juanmlarios]

this hits deep. What a beautiful song, heart felt vocals and sublime musical sensitivity. Words are not enough, I guess that's why music exits

[@Thebroslandreth]

That's so kind, thank you!

[@christopheravant7906]

So beautiful and so inspiring! Thank you!

[@davidfalconmusic]

Absolutely stunning! What a musician!

[@BumpWhiteMusic]

You destroyed this. So so good. Great job man!

[@Thebroslandreth]

Thank you!

[@timothyboyce6572]

I love this whole thing and I love Dave’s reaction to the little lick at 2:08😩

[@Thebroslandreth]

Not gonna lie, shed some big soggy tears while Joey was cutting this...

[@BluesInSeattle]

Great rendition. This is the song they will be playing at my funeral.

[@Godsman1982]

Man!!!! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

[@glenturrell4485]

Absolutely loved it. Thank you from South Africa. Only Joey's amazing voice could make a '57 sound that great!

[@Thebroslandreth]

Honestly, we were both surprised by how good it sounded!

[@nearlysteviedan1275]

Oh yeh !. Always used a 58 for vocals, but that 57 can't be denied..

[@mathmusicstructure]

I never loved this song before but I do now

[@Thebroslandreth]

So glad we could be the catalyst for more Lenny in your life!

[@ryanwalker3015]

This is still one of my favourite covers that you do. I still go back and watch the video of you doing it at the Fat Pigeon live. Amazing. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Thebroslandreth]

Our pleasure!

[@karmayogibear]

So beautiful and very moving. I feel now my favourite version of this song. Thank you! Hey - please consider coming to tour in New Zealand! Please bring Ruth Moody with you for the best double bill ever!

[@Thebroslandreth]

Oh man, that would be a dream!

[@GitShiddy]

Thank you. That may be all the words I can muster after hearing this.

[@Thebroslandreth]

That's more than enough!

[@JohnNick72]

Beautiful Joey!

[@Thebroslandreth]

Glad you like it!

[@McPhan86]

Beeeeeautiful. The organ, the vocals, the song... you knocked this out the park man

[@Thebroslandreth]

Thank yoU!

[@anadizilkic5416]

Wow. I know you guys get heaps of praise and appreciation, but whenever I hear you and your brother, it feels like it's not enough. Heard Let it lie years ago and been a fan of yours ever since. Greetings from Bosnia!

[@Thebroslandreth]

Thanks for being a long-standing fan, we can't do any of this fun stuff without your support and your ears. Cheers!

[@edtweed5e4-a]

Beautiful phrasing and tone Joey, thank you so much for sharing all these covers. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d love more undercover bros, maybe a whole album of live covers like this

Oh man this was good. Joey is in such fine voice here

[@Thebroslandreth]

Thanks!

[@VeniceKing1]

Beautiful. Are the nails explained by your daughter's favourite colour? Ha

[@kmjansen]

I fell in love with a version of this song on the soundtrack for a series named Sons of Anarchy, sung by actress Katey Sagal (also played the wife on Married With Children). I haven’t loved any other version of it until now. Bravo 👏

[@Thebroslandreth]

Fun!!

[@ibaneztubescreamer]

Awesome.

[@Thebroslandreth]

Thanks!

57 FTW! Great stuff Joey 🔥

[@Thebroslandreth]

Bit of an underdog, surprised us too!

[@bkand2000]

Will never forget when you sang this with Donovan Woods in Canmore the week Cohen passed away.

[@dwdrum11]

Stunning rendition, always loved your music, plus as a drummer myself and a hifi enthusiast can I take this moment to thank you and your engineers for the production on your stuff, it always sounds beautiful

[@Thebroslandreth]

That’s very kind! For this recent live stuff, Joe does all of the engineering and mixing!

[@dwdrum11]

@@Thebroslandreth amazing job Joe! What’s the chances of you releasing an album made with the Audio from these videos? Would love to play it in the car as that’s where my best hifi is installed!

[@willbrown0313]

Can't wait for the Philly show at Milkboy. Saw the last one there and it was amazing.

[@Thebroslandreth]

We're pulling out all the stops for ya - gonna be even better this time around!

[@emmanuelpicardithebrightsorrow]

Your music is so beautiful! I've been following you for a long time. I admire your work (from afar: Belgium :-) But what I find even more beautiful is your collaboration between brothers. Here, only Joey sings and plays, but Dave is there and he participates through his silence. Last time it was Dave singing a wonderful song. It's really beautiful. Please continue.

[@Thebroslandreth]

We're really lucky to get to do this thing together. It's a strange job at times, having a brother to share the tricky bits with makes it all go a bit smoother...

[@jacobpittman1996]

Thank you, Brothers.I was thinking about the Aaron Neville cover of this a few weeks ago. It’s funny how the world connects these days. I remember renting that movie with Goldie Hahn on vhs when I was a kid; I really dug that song.

[@Thebroslandreth]

Man, I've gotta dig that one up -- not familiar!

[@jacobpittman1996]

Yeah, the Neville Brothers did the version for the 1990 movie soundtrack “Bird on a Wire,” (I don’t know which came first). Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson flick with the David Karridine (? Dude from Kung Fu). I think you would like the Nevilles’ version, they used harmonic tremolo on the vocals.

[@Flyright07]

There's some more of that gold. Canadain treasure!

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Just how I like it... I know that sounds bad, but I'm sticking with it

[@Thebroslandreth]

It sounds PERFECT. Thanks!

[@10joJoe]

Tbh I wouldn’t mind an animated musical where Joey’s the lead character lol random thought I had but I would imagine the music would be amazing

[@SteveWoodyMusic]

So freaking good! Any of this in the current tour?

[@Thebroslandreth]

Not currently, but who knows!

[@johnmaynard2830]

You play keyboard too? Please leave some for the rest of us....and add this to the live set list. ❤

[@Thebroslandreth]

Hahah!!

[@MattLong101]

My God that’s tasty organ work

[@Thebroslandreth]

Thank yoU!

[@Rygo-wk3jm]

This is beautiful. If you could give one top tip for a person who sings in their bedroom with their guitar, what would it be? I look up to you and your work a lot.

[@Thebroslandreth]

Always reluctant to give advice, but here’s what works for me (Dave here)- always lean towards the joy. Which sounds, songs, chords, melodies, etc… spark something in you? Practicing is great, but allowing yourself to find meaning and inspiration in it will keep you coming back to the well again and again. Practice helps you access the ideas quicker, but if you aren’t doing it for a bigger reason you’ll burn yourself out!

[@Rygo-wk3jm]

@@Thebroslandreth I’ve never really thought about that. Thanks for the insight Dave! It makes a lot of sense….it kinda frees things up in my mind.

[@Thebroslandreth]

CAN DO!

[@Shaddy89]

Sounds fantastic, your voice is coming through so clear on that 57, what in the vocal chain?

[@Thebroslandreth]

Joe will have to weigh in on that one!

[@chrislowmusic]

Yeah I was wondering the same thing I could never get my 57 that clear and smooth
