The Milk Carton Kids - Live From Lincoln Theatre (Full DVD Stream)

[@colzeZ]

It’s 2024. Much has changed in my life in the last decade. So many beautiful moments accompanied by The Milk Carton Kids. And here I find myself yet again.

[@ckGan-id9fw]

If no one else is; I lean beside you. and if there is more than us standing out this way of no where we stay together going whichever way you decided. But with everyone in motion what are we supposed to do Without you.... We've been waiting. And here you are again

[@claralipps]

I understand. I really enjoy this show and these musicians. The whole experience stirs my soul. Thanks guys

[@bethresille142]

I am 74 years old, and I have always bemoaned the fact that I was not born Simon AND Garfunkle. Listening to this duo made me weep for days past. Their harmony, in particular, is so reminiscent of the height of the folk era and Simon and Garfunkle. I have become a huge fan. I hope they stay together for a long, long time and continue to write fantastic, beautiful songs and music.

[@upsidedahead]

Nice But at least could u spell Art’s surname correctly 🤪

[@bethresille142]

Sorry!

[@bodeghost]

@, Beth Resille: Very well put. I've always said I was born too late. I'm 55 & long for the tranquil, almost hypnotic lyrical content missing in today's music world. It's not completely lost but, The Milk Carton Kids have a way with making one feel they've arrived "home" where all is safe & peaceful. I for one have been a huge fan of these fine gentlemen for years. I believe your hope for their longevity will hold true. They're not going anywhere soon. They'll be around for decades to come ! Check out the concert "Live From Here" with, Chris Thile... The special guests will astound you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnjPiX-eo6trfZo

Fooled me too ! Thought they were S&G at first ...

[@fumfum9825]

That's Right!

[@gregcoles9175]

This is one of the most perfectly recorded things I've ever heard - hats off to the audio engineers that worked on this!

[@charliehutchinson4196]

I've come back to listen to this concert in its entirety several times. The talent, the quality, the banter... It's all unbelievably enjoyable.

[@MarkMaysey]

It doesn't get much better than this.

It sure is!

[@dansolo9978]

Quite quite True Brother... Jus soooo very Listenable.... Kinda feel like they're the modern Everly Brothers, tho I do hate Myself for saying that...!

These Guys are truly amazing and sooooo talented... I wish I've known them sooner......

[@philaldridge4178]

These guys are brilliant. Joey is one of the best stand up comics around.

[@brdjkbwsk3306]

For me, the banter is almost as entertaining as the music. It's hilarious. Loved this set. So refreshing.

[@rebeccasisler5421]

These musicians inspire me to pick up my guitar back up and write songs again....I put them down in 1986 after I lost my first and only true love...now I am 59, they restored the music in my heart..they are wonderful, talented and very very gifted ...

[@republimom]

rebecca - very sweet post. good for you - it's always wonderful to open up that case again. Sing it!

[@jaredotter4457]

you play away rebecca let the world hear your song!!!

[@Mozart1220]

I wrote some of my best songs (not nearly as good as these) when I was sad or depressed. great therapy.

[@alexanderhamilton8585]

I have a first and only true love too. I've been carrying her around with me in my heart for 36 years, and music seems to connect me to that world in a way nothing else does.

[@johnnyconner4184]

I'm also 59, and just picked up the mandocello to learn it. Wish me luck! ;-)

[@KeelyBurnMusic]

What I love most about the banter parts are the times when Kenneth cracks up along with the audience just listening to the stuff Joey's saying. His expressions during Joey's song introductions are hilarious. So glad this video is here on KZbin, although I would buy it on DVD too because this band deserves all the support. Their songs are truly breathtaking. So many times I expected to hear wild applause right in the middle of a song because it was just that good!

[@jaredmh90]

I come back to this video again and again for that very reason.

[@Ottee2]

@@jaredmh90 , Same for me.

[@jasonrowland6966]

What a fantastic evening of theater here. I have watched this many times and will many times in the future, I am sure.

[@fgbowen]

I have no words - that was one of the top most incredible performances I have ever seen.

[@garyfulreader1840]

+fgbowen I had the same reaction. An incredible performance. I keep watching it in awe. Beautiful~

[@djross2043]

Wow, I’m so glad we have them to listen to in a time of such musical chaos and refresh with actual talent in song writing with exceptional Guitar playing. TY

[@vasocreta]

the dead pan delivery of the stories is just brilliant. I love everything about this. And the dang sound engineers! wow!

[@caseybelmont3494]

"What's the fee?" might be one of the most perfectly delivered lines in comedy history. Well done.

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

Those voices& playing is angelic imo👏👏👏

[@dougckelly]

I don't think I'll ever tire of listening to this show.

[@pamspiano8]

Snake Eyes is the first Milk Carton Kids' song I heard, and it's still my favorite. Beautiful!!

[@gumwap1]

Here we are, nearly 6 years later and this never gets old. It has aged incredibly well.

[@jeanned.6706]

This kind of music is timeless. I'll bet you in 6 years, you'll still feel the same way.

[@billvonrosenberg7625]

Hell...I still pull out Hank Williams, all is possible. Bill

[@cunard61]

My God, they're fantastic, like a couple of old souls.

[@davidlynch4852]

It's 2021 and I'm only now finding these guys. Way to let me down algorithm.

[@karenschuyler1342]

me too....I am 75 years old and seems I find wonders everyday...thank you Amazon Music

[@griana76]

2024!

[@joelbyrne]

This amount of skill, talent and presence within the musical community should not be forgotten... This performance should be studied and talked about in music classroom dialogue for decades to come. Utterly exceptional

[@tabza3000]

This is powerful music. Tears of joy running down my cheek. Feels like this world ain't so cruel place to be and we all still got a lot of hope.

[@DeanCutsforth]

Joey is incredibly funny. Perfect delivery. A comedy show AND a lovely music performance. Good value for money. ;)

[@Raptorace225]

This is a fantastic performance. There are moments where you are laughing and others where the hair was standing up. I will be purchasing their music and hope to see them live someday.

[@peteWxM1970]

I now have a beautiful 🤩 grandchild called Charlie too with another on the way.thanks for such a beautiful concert.I’ve listened to this whole concert for years it matures like a fine wine 🍷 so cheers 🥂 boys as I write the thousandth comment at 0515 on the 25 th February 2022

[@KafeMann]

Have they considered naming the next child something different? I see this comment was left two years ago. I hope I'm not too late. If I am, how is it having two grandchildren named Charlie? Does it get confusing sometimes? I imagine it would.

[@republimom]

These unbelievable, wonderful musicians... harmonies so close you can't tell who's singing what, and playing as if on one guitar. And they're just getting started! What the years will bring forth from these two - the heart picks up tempo in anticipation. Was blessed to be at the Lincoln the night of their October 29 2013 performance, and again this past Wednesday, July 22 2014, at Lincoln again. They've promised a Columbus OH show every tour!!

[@SKYGUY1]

I only discovered this duo on the radio driving home last night. I was mesmerized immediately. They are Bob Dylan, Rod McKuen, Peter, Paul and Mary, Donovan and Doug Foster combined, with their own musical HONEY, HONEY stirred in like just the right amount of Brandy in your evening coffee. And w/ a droll, dry delightful injecton of humor to entertain us and cause us to forget trouble outside the walls that protect us. May they continue ad infinitum! Thank you gentlemen. Thank you. And now I will set about trying to imitate your style and talent and skill.

[@DavesCoverSongs]

The writing, the harmonies, the picking, the humor. There’s something special here. One word to describe this...compelling. Also scones. I just thought I’d mention scones.

[@EdwardTMadrigal]

These guys are so talented. I was in tears when they sang Maybe It's Time. It made me think of my past relationship. 💜😞

[@kevindunleavy4532]

Maybe it's Time to listen to these guys. When I want a lift I watch this concert. Thought I'd get to see them in Chicago a few weeks ago but it didn't work out...but my son was there and loved them. One of these days....in the meantime I have KZbin. They ROCK.

[@gsmecanica]

I can't believe I just discovered these guys, this is gold!

[@frankboyd.]

When I first heard them they reminded me of that duo I really loved to hear. Those perfect harmonies and great acoustic guitar reminded me of The Milk Carton Kids.

[@dougbrady5807]

I have never liked folk music, but these guys are incredible. When you hear about music that makes you feel something, these guys are at the top of the list.

[@rayhenderson3059]

Just saw them this month in Kirkland, WA - took my 15-year old daughter and she LOVED it - highly recommend their music and catching their show if they come through your area. Amazing musicians, entertaining stage presence, clean show - one of my favorite live shows ever

[@JamieJobb]

Those of us who grew up with Paul and Art can sincerely appreciate these guys stepping up to fill any void created by their absence from current stages ... Thanks so much!

[@Thetonetemple.]

I gratefully hear David Rawlings voicings and colors. Thats a great example of roots growing. You 2 guys are great players and singers! Gems

[@RS54321]

Yes, if I didn't see who was playing, I'd have thought it was David, hands down...same style and feel.

[@oxnumbernine]

My wife and I saw them in concerts in Richmond, Virginia about a month ago and we were glad they can also improvise their monologues/dialogues based on the crowd's reaction. A very enjoyable evening!

[@DriftwoodScarecrow]

I was there too! Great show :)

[@GretschProf]

I really like these guys. Great harmonies and that little Martin has about the best intonation of any guitar I've seen.

[@victorjcano]

There is just soooo much incredible young and talented musicians and song writers out there today, Blows my mind . The Milk Carton Kids, Mandolin Orange, I'm With Her (3 of the finest vocalist I've heard ),

[@egwicks]

"Years Gone By" wrecks me every time. 😭

[@kirkpatticalma7911]

This is some seriously high quality stuff. There's not much out there these days that gets my attention, but this definitely does.

[@liubomiravalchev5184]

I am responsible for at least 100 listens of this record. The music is wonderful, the humor is funny and the sound is amazing. So grateful to KZbin for recommending!

[@geoffreydurham-smith423]

They are amazing. Like a cross between Swan and Flanders and Simon and Garfunkel! Dry humor and superb musicianship.

[@terrytaz8914]

Unreal! Ive heard their name, but never the songs, till now. Today, the song “Michigan”, has wrecked me. 39 yrs. She was born in Flint. After 4 yrs divorced, thought i was ok. Nope. Ill never recover. Ive played acoustic 50 yrs, these guys are brilliant

[@cjmacanbhaird9140]

Worth it for the comedy alone. Music's the best I've heard in a long time.

[@sortaAWSOMEish]

They're just so polished for only being together for about 4 years. and they're only getting better!

[@Valeij221]

6 years ago i got sober, every now and then i still need to drop by to my roots of what got me here today where i am now. thanks for helping me feel for the very first time in such a long time MCK, you have a way of hitting chords that arent even on those strings.

[@stybba09]

@Shenbyre congrats on your sobriety! I have been sober for 20 years, 5 months. My son introduced me to these guys about a half hour ago and I'm just blown away by the musicianship and the perfect harmonies. Now, when my son was much younger I introduced him to a variety of music and now he's introducing me to new music. I'm so glad I watched this video. Thanks, son. @Shenbyre keep at it... one day at a time; an hour, a minute at a time.

[@Observer285]

I listened to this entire concert at least three times in 2020. The harmonies and guitars calmed and chilled me out everytime.

[@irishrogue65]

These guys are consummate artists. I could listen to them play and talk all night. Saw them in St. Louis and they were every bit as good as everyone said they were.

[@user-po9ck6rg3z]

Listened to, for the first time.. Tadaaa ... I am a fan :) That would be worth a concert visited - perhaps, one day ... May GOD Bless and keep, inspire and use them, to spread messages of love, hope, comfort and encouragement.. Thanks, for the upload. Greetings from Germany Ruben

[@ronricci3407]

Oh my gosh! I* stumbled into this wonderful music and words of these two guys.. They are so GREAT! I am 70 years old---that's old, right? Maybe I/m not TOO old----because I can still hear great music from these super talented guys. Damn, they take their smart for granted. Amazing.

[@mkilptrick]

These guys are absolute masters of voice and wood.

The solo bit of "Girls Gather 'Round" is twice as funny when like me you have been listening to the album on Spotify for the last six months and thinking Joey was actually playing the solo.

I had never heard of The Milk Carton Kids before last night's Emmylou Harris tribute at DAR. What the heck? What have I been missing! They killed it at the show. Now the day after, I've spent all this morning listening to them. Fantastic! Do yourself a favor and just sit and watch this whole video. Did I say Fantastic!

[@discepolodelvento]

I was also there, Geoff. They were fantastic. Actually, the whole show was pretty incredible.

[@isabelleblues8983]

You've gotta watch them on Another Day Another Time - Celebrating the music of Inside llewyn Davis. Wow. They are incredible.

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

So sweet harmony and playing in chords and note picking - they just know exactly how much is needed to create such eloquent sounds !!! Kudos, good sirs. Please - Play on !!!!! GBjj

[@christinaboersma6096]

Still have no clue how Kenneth can play the guitar like he does, it’s crazy. Love it. He makes an acoustic guitar “sing” like there’s another vocalist. It’s amazing.

[@chrysantus]

And sing at the same time.

[@thomasszejnmann3917]

Yes! Definitely influenced by Dave Rawling, but his guitar sounds much sweeter.

[@eivind261093]

I think I've probably watched (or at least played) this close to a hundred times by now, after discovering it around a year ago. Girlfriend is hating me for it - not because she dislikes the music, she likes it almost as much as I do, but rather because I play it so often - but I can't help it! It's an incredible concert, by an incredible pair of musicians. Such a great connection with the crowd, and amazing music mixed with great humor. Best concert I've ever seen, live or not! I downloaded both of their free albums from their site as well, they have roughly the same stuff that they play here - which I'm not about to complain about!

[@jimdarvidis7774]

How beautiful it has been to find these guys. Great songs , great harmonies and I cannot underestimate the blending and timing of their guitar playing. The way Kenneth flat picks, creates a wonderful tension and beauty. It almost sits a millisecond behind to create that triplet feel. Bluegrass meets folk meets entertainment at its best. Thanks guys , a revelation.

This concert has got me through so much. Aside from being a great background to everyday activities, the run of maybe it's time to girls gather round to Michigan is the perfect balance of heavy emotion and light hearted banter and amazing guitar licks and harmonies.

[@christiancantarutti6370]

My new favourite live show to listen to at work. The combination of musicianship, incredibly skilled song-writing and highbrow humour in between songs is so unique and creative. It feels like these two strip down folk music and bring it back to it's musical roots while seemingly being incredibly stylistically progressive.

[@veiicovers]

The remarkable control over dynamics in the more ornate guitar parts is stunning like not only picking but the way he manipulates the distance from the microphone to create subtle fades and swells is so masterfully creative

[@Kyxp7]
