The Longest Johns - Live at Old Songs

[@lonelybanshee8593]

Can't believe it's been two years. This was the first "thing" I was able to go out and do since the start of the pandemic. It was such a weird coincidence that the show was even able to happen here. Lo and behold, now the Johns are on a world tour playing with a full backup band. I like the new stuff too, but this was a special moment in time. I hope they look back on it as a highlight.

[@birdkooistra1329]

The best thing for me was sharing the music (By singing along with you) with my 30 yr old rapper grandson

[@aydenvis]

JD's right leg is going to be jacked by the end of this tour!

[@Denley1526]

I said the very same thing to him this morning😁

[@cellistinak2161]

But worthwhile - the drum adds so much. Stay strong, JD!!

[@ProfesoraNut]

Yes! 🤣🤣

Bless you Mickey as always

[@SquirellFriend]

You're my favourite type of person Mickey

[@Paultskjen]

At the Shrewsbury Folk Festival they also ended with 'Pay me my money down'. Is that a tradition for them?

[@m.does.things]

@@Paultskjen from what I’ve seen/heard that does seem to be their go to closer for sets at the moment

[@SilentBob731]

I know a lad called John Long, but these guys are much Longer and waaayyy Johnnier. 😉

[@Denley1526]

What a wonderful surprise to find we could watch your first concert in America, & what a great one. Keep safe & well boys & bring more smiles & laughter like this. The world needs it badly.

[@cellistinak2161]

Aww, I missed it, and the lovely chat as well ... adequate, as always!

[@ReeseMacalma]

Holy crap, Wayfaring Stranger was awesome!

[@dasvurkex4879]

I love the Energy in Drunken Sailor!

[@MaryAnneTribole]

Thank you, love the music down here in Florida!

[@madmedic702]

[@theapproachingstorm2133]

Check out their channel on youtube, The Longest Johns, got these and more

[@keignar851]

What wholesome chat and comments, love the atmosphere in this otherwise cursed website

[@lebboyo]

Bangers as usual, they truly are the longest of the Johns!

[@lacyhart2043]

Stranger is my favorite

[@jmbreece]

Very nice work on Wayfaring Stranger boys!

[@actuallyapathy]

[@Rocketsong]

Wish I could have seen them while they were in the States, but it's a very long drive to NY from AZ.

[@ProfesoraNut]

This is simply AMAZING 😻😻

[@moragmckay3779]

It's great to see your American audience totally "get" you. I love the way your concert is just like your Lockdown (and beyond) sessions, which saw me through total Shielding (which came at a personally very trying time, keeping me from my dear brother for a very crucial year). Keep putting smiles on people's faces just by sharing your enjoyment in what you do.

[@Cry_Havoc]

Thank you so much for posting this! It's as close to being at a live concert as I'll get. Many hearts!!!!

[@joncaulkett5198]

Love it, but wish you guys were playing at the Ark in Ann Arbor, where I saw Stan many times.

[@nbenefiel]

You’d be great at the Ark and I could get there. It’s an iconic place, everyone has played there.

[@suebaribass]

Thank you SO much for sharing this concert online.... This was such an unbelievable treat!! I was too late to buy a streaming ticket, but dropped some $ in the tip jar. ☺️❤️

[@veraelisak]

Watching from N.Z and enjoying every minute of the concert

[@nbenefiel]

I wish I could have been there.

[@hermitized4391]

Really amazing show! Thank you so much for streaming and posting the recording :)

[@olliemoffat4025]

Just repeating what has already been said, but what a wonderful surprise. Thank you, the Longest of Jonathans, for what was a wonderful treat. P.S. have you heard of HebCelt? It's a great wee festival in Stornoway Scotland. You'd love it there 😉

[@rosswarman]

For the suggestion of a great to perform this comment should get all the likes!

[@ronaldcollins5327]

Some one on Amazon is crediting you guys with composing Cyril Tawney's Grey Funnel Liine.That's not right !

[@jacobnugent8159]

Where do I find their version of fish in the sea

[@lonelybanshee8593]

They released an EP called "C-Sides" that includes the song.

[@EFJoKeR]

All go on stage with a "Red Solo Cup" - They aught to play that, if Toby Keith allows it, that is... That would be fun... Just for the f*ck of it...

[@roving_gnome]

I expected some clapping and stomping

[@Alk3mix]

did you try the workers song? boomers wouldn't love that

[@EpicAkensai]

I won an argument with my wife by blaring this when she berated me over somthing stupid. +1 boys Until tomorrow, anyway.

[@Alk3mix]
