The Rural Alberta Advantage on Audiotree Live (Full Session)

[@NicholasAlm]

My wife accidentally introduced me to this band by taking me to a Dan Mangan concert and now they are one of my favorite bands. One of my favorite part of their songs is I've driven through Frank's Slide several time, I've lived a block off the deathbridge in Lethbridge (Whoop Up Drive), I've seen the Enterprise in Vulcan and I've lived in Edmonton for a couple years. It adds extra meaning to those songs

[@deadpocketss]

Paul is a beast on the drums. Such an underrated band.

[@rezzzo76]

Ian Wilson Agreed! Coming from a fellow drummer, I was thinking the same thing! He's damn good!

[@bosbolo]

@Ian hahaha the same for me!

[@azzgunther]

I got to see them live a few years ago and, halfway through the show, I realized that I'd been mostly looking past the talented lead singer and the beautiful girl on the keyboard to watch the wild animal on the drums. Dude plying his trade is a fun thing to watch.

[@curtisjenningsschofield2448]

I love this band! I hear them first when living in California, our firm was working on a contract for AOL music ?2012? and I immediately fell in love with their first album. I grew up in Alberta and could relate to the black friday song personally.. adore the feeling of the band.

Audiotree Live, thank you for existing. I have found so many great artists like these amazing individuals time and time again on your channel. To the band members of The Rural Alberta Advantage, you all play so well together and I love watching each of you perform your love of music and sharing it with the world.

[@Swamprat422]

Drummer and drum beat was awesome - whole band rocks ... great ! How have I not heard of these guys

[@jubalmodine]

My first time hearing this trio. I am impressed immensely. Thank you for letting me listen.

[@joeschmoe6516]

Anyone who's loving these guys should also listen to their older song Frank AB. Got me into the band and I'm loving them.

[@mikemaydonik2608]

Love this band. I'm so excited to see them live. I got tickets to see them August 7th. Not a bad choice for first post pandemic concert.

[@bgalexanderstube]

drummer kills it

[@redrobotmonkey]

My favourite part of this band.

[@turbojoe2]

Damn. Three people? Amazing, simply AMAZING. Love RAA.

[@cameronove]

Wow the drums are so crisp...awesome job. Whole set was fantastic. Listening now on Google Play Music.

[@shawnberger7875]

They opened for the hip. Blew me away. Paul on the drums wow

[@russnurse2b807]

I'm not sure how I wound up here but I'm so glad I did! Such a fantastic band! It is interesting listening to them talk about vinyl. I grew up on vinyl, 8-tracks, and cassettes. There is such a wonderful warmness to those things that you don't get with a CD, mp3, etc. A lot of people don't realize when music is digitized it is compacted so you loose a lot of the essence of the music. Long live vinyl!!

[@mikemaydonik2608]

Amy really does the work of four musicians.

[@FeathersMcGraw_]

And Paul does the work of about four drummers.

[@FinalPizzaHut]

Love this band so much. This is awesome!

[@Yadeehoo]

What a punchy drummer, he adds some much energy I love it

[@MUTE129]

Thank you audiotree for having RAA on. We live you RAA saw you guys at SOM a few years back. Steadily enjoying your art for time now. Thank you

[@robingautron847]

love this group

[@evilspoons]

Some of these songs sound SO much better than on the original albums (they've come a long way as a band). Almost wish they'd re-record them or do a live session album or somesuch. "Muscle relaxants" is so different.

[@PatrickRobinsonZA]

Drummer is beast ! Great band !

[@OnLyDoOom]

Excellent drumming

[@thehippyluv]

so beautiful

[@luckylou7214]

Absolutely love these guys

[@teebee9660]

This is an amazing video! Thank you for posting it!!!

[@patrickalaggio3560]

This was inspired by looping the song found at 15:00 of this performance. Thanks guys. Looking for Trouble by Patrick Alaggio March 10, 2017 Walking these dirty city streets looking for trouble Don’t care who jumps out or where they jump from Just lookin’ for someone to bring it on Stopped caring about the world or what it has in store for me Stopped believing in dreams I’m ready for trouble and ready for the end There’s nothing that frightens me There’s no fear in my steps A gang of kids cross the street at me I refuse to cross and increase my speed As they slow to a crawl and inspect the scene I take my hands out from my pockets Expose nothing but air and a lack of fear They look at each other and walk on by “What’s the matter”? I growl back “Not easy enough to roll tonight?” No mister, we ain’t looking for no trouble But trouble was my new name and caring was no longer my “thing” Not since you said goodbye to me So I walked and walked all night long hoping some fool would come along but the only fool I found was me . . .

[@oscararmandopinochi4729]

Great band!!!

[@gdmck6871]

Great drumming

[@dandevine9128]

Vulcan is such a great tune

[@mobaxie]

My first CD was Pump by Aerosmith quickly followed up by AC/DC Razor's Edge

[@ptfrohlich]

Nice!

[@scpenny1]

Can't wait for the border to open again, I miss this band! Can Am Friendship to the end!

[@Idiomatick]

Enjoyed that opening. :P

[@MrFredoneuf]

I like that!!

[@robbpowell194]

The drums and vocals have a Celtic vibe that I usually associate with the Maritimes.

[@Gord488]

Damn. I love them but they are beasts

[@fullmoon7192]

*Love it !!!* Perhaps *"Rural Alberta On Fire"* would be more appropriate name for these guys... 🐳

[@theorifice]

What's with the rack tom totally crushing the mix??

[@earlspearl2933]

this band is on that level where that a bass player is needed . the sound wont fill out without someone really thinking the song . auto generated can only go so far .

[@joshtimmons7332]

Should list the times and names of the songs eh

[@crucifyrobinhood]

yes you should Josh

[@clomino3]

Amy is a beast. This band would have 5 members without her

[@theRussians1918]

10th time listening, just a guess. I'm a little worried I Saw them live in the cavern but I was having a little too much fun... so I'm not sure.

[@JesseMartineau]

What is the rotary phone mic there?

[@evilspoons]

He sings in to it at the start of "Vulcan, AB' (around 19:00). Weirdly the 'mic' is in the earpiece part.

[@danielgroh1433]

Woah lawyer drummer

[@wychwoodmusic]

If your bandname includes a Canadian placename, federal regulations require at least one member wear a tuque during live performances.

[@MarcBeechuk]

i've listened to this so many times it's starting to skip

[@DKardovsky]

how did he connected old phone? what about feedback?

[@circasurpriseme]

Any one else think of brick and mortar

[@DragonFlopp]

Is this a re-upload?

[@audiotree]

We used to host the full session videos exclusively on our website. Now, we are going through the archives and uploading all of these videos to KZbin as well. This way our viewers have a choice of watching the individual songs or the full show with interview.

[@DragonFlopp]

Audiotreetv Oh, okay! Awesome! Thanks for sharing these on KZbin now!

[@elidoubleday8080]

I was like "what new album?"

[@toapohatu1692]

Best thing an ex girlfriend ever did for me was introduced me to this band.

[@fedge1968]

LOL, what's with the anti-CD bigotry? Tolerance, AudioTree!!!

[@adamcarlson7430]

Why is the host so weird

[@eislakkon3110]

Trying so hard...
