OUR EVENING CRUISIN' A MELBOURNE TRAM WITH XAVIER:
Every so often we receive an email from a band - or someone that represents them - and we make little fist pumps in the air. Much like Ben Kweller (see bit.ly/18swuZr), we literally jumped at the chance to have Xavier Rudd on board and has always been an artist we wanted to share the Tram Session experience with.
He joined us straight after touching down into Melbourne on a frosty Thursday evening and we headed north on the #19 tram through Brunswick - the same route as Amanda Palmer only a few months earlier (see bit.ly/130epNP)
This is the first track off his new album Spirit Bird, for more details visit www.xavierrudd.com
Many of Xavier's fans were disappointed to hear he was on their regular tram without their knowledge. But, this is the beauty of Tram Sessions. You never know when. You never know where.. Stay tuned with the Tram Sessions Facebook page for some little hints to where/who you might meet us on a Melbourne tram..
Happy commuting everyone!

[@solukhumbu911]

everyone in the train is just so rigid and emotionally guarded but in their hearts they rejoice and celebrate life hearing sir xavier's music

[@1996jod]

Shut up

[@Theforsaken7]

It's a tram not a train completely different things

[@folkfingerstylefreddy2154]

solukhumbu911 Nah, they’re just ignorant like the rest of the world these days. Musicians don’t get the respect they deserve anymore

[@richard2559]

No they are scared that they will get done by immigration.

[@juniormata98]

Not everyone has the same taste in music

[@Sumfortyan]

Wonderful. The World needs more musicians like Xavier Rudd.

[@petethepossum]

Man that is awesome, that lady behind had the best seat in the house, but didn't seem to really appreciate it, but the bearded dood with the big smile on his face was really loving it. Very cool. Best tram ride ever?

[@chriskever6927]

this song a fresh cup of coffee a doobie of some good smoke and watching the sunrise over the mountains. that is one of my favorite ways to start the day. i love this guys music!

[@ushiuni82]

My favorite , his songs are like a guide to life, very beautiful and underrated musician.

[@barrymantz6026]

There is a bloody Viking in there who understands the words and is still smiling! He knows Xavier is a decendent from ODIN!

[@TheFlorian48]

It's nice to see how music connects people. So make music together and no more wars

[@elliottvanderwee8130]

I would have missed my stop

[@jadengarcia5086]

Me too

[@CountingCarp_uK]

Me too

[@zachisgodly]

Things like this are exactly why i've been living in melbourne for the past 17years

[@datzed]

Wow! Unbelievable. What a treat for those tram passengers. How does this not have a multi-million views

[@jimmyhailwood1819]

Another reason why melbourne is the best city on earth

[@enigma3432]

just discovered this channel today. so much appreciation for this channel and everyone involved! wish i could be working with the team.

[@Maeriick]

did anyone else notice when they show a guy filming with his phone (at 3:22) that Xavier is playing his slide guitar instead of his normal guitar lol.

[@renanmartins00]

That's bizarre! I mean how? Did he perform the same song earlier and that part of the footage was used for the normal guitar piece?

[@PrimalPetersen]

Michael Cosmos It's Tram Sessions, not Tram Song, so it was probably footage from another song in the session.

[@iamjon1986]

lol nice catch. the editor should have caught that. footage from another song spliced into the video

[@renanmartins00]

Ive been listening to this guy for years now. Such a good sound!

[@luvssamantha]

Okay so I saw Passenger on the tram and now Xavier just makes it way better- wow

[@allincamo]

Man what I'd pay for that train car ride. The X man ROCKS ! He is a gift .

[@inky3541]

We were on that train my baby brother fell asleep to this... my heart rn 💖💖

[@thc_temple]

lol no you weren't.

[@TramSessions]

Thanks dude! We're pretty stoked actually. Xavier was my favourite muso when I moved to Australia

[@loontil]

hmm

[@tomwilson6359]

Should be a soundtrack for all travel companies after the covid is over this some would get me buying tickets and escaping again

[@JarvisJiri1998]

[@Jharris5234]

[@BigRevKev82]

Magic!!! Love Xavier. He is dope as. This would have been great!!

[@NicholasMoontunes]

yeah this guy rocks. you guys find the coolest people

[@jezzacaple]

The first time I heard this was in a teepee after waking up with a grim comedown, best possible way to wake up in that situation.

[@FornoDan]

Xavier stole the attention of everyone on that tram... But it was the happy hippy at 4:02 that made me laugh

[@MrGluey666]

would be crying with joy if it were me there

[@flybyfamily]

What I wouldn't give to be on this tram!

[@felattila]

Oh, one mummy is in the corner. BRAVO

[@tsizzle9280]

Love this.

[@MrDanimal42]

Xavier we are so looking forward to your upcoming show in Jackson, WY. This is a strange and beautiful place, and I hope you like it here. We also have a Tram, but ours goes to the top of the mountain that we love so dearly. If you want to take a ride to the top of the world, I'll make sure we have a ticket for you. Cheers.

[@kenoath6846]

I would have sparked up a joint that that train straight up ✊🏻 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@shaansubramaniam]

That guy is a Lad!

[@maxicosi3]

It actually has around 45,000 views now in 2 days. The video is also in the top 5 most liked videos of the day.

[@maso9772]

Who said men couldn't multi task?

[@daniluchison]

Exactly what I told the two girls while in the thresome! Exhausted though, we are not meant to multitask.

[@nawaal4452]

@@daniluchison lmao

[@coccananona]

heavenly bus ride! far out....!

[@MegaRenstar]

Get to see this amazing guy tonight, so pumped :)))

[@Mouldytone]

Xavier is an official endorser of Cole Clark guitars. I suspect a lot of performers would refuse to be seen playing an instrument by a rival manufacturer but in this case, when evidently Xavier couldn't access his usual instrument, he, understandably, covered up the non Cole Clark manufacturers logo.

[@soldier87xxx]

i wish i was in that tram xD amazing

[@mikaelaDreger]

At 4:02 we're introduced to the happiest man alive! Haha :D Best feel good song though

[@JosQuk]

great stuff

[@edanasue2589]

[@OniRomania]

4:03 The power of Xavier Rudd !! :D

[@ACboogie88]

Love it!

[@mannerzdeejay]

[@telemaquekoukis4910]

❤

[@Lunablyss]

[@kicks751]

First song listened to 2015

[@amimisasagi]

I wanna be on one of these trams!!!

[@1234jezza]

What you guys do is amazing :D All the people with dslr's on there would have been loving it

[@lfkeks]

Oh I love it. I hoped I was there, sitting in the subway... :)

[@BenTomlinsonXD]

we need to find it.. :)

[@twinklebutt]

[@xanderstander1999]

I love how at the end even a guy with a Motorhead shirt on shows he felt it.

[@lottewinse8700]

wish i was there

[@theShiby]

he's like soulful combination of x-men's professor xavier and former australian prime minister paul rudd!

[@rachelodland7751]

lady in the background at 4:14 :-)

[@MrDuckyDutch]

+Rachel Odland she must have a very bad day

[@folkfingerstylefreddy2154]

Rachel Odland Not a Rudd fan I’d say

[@kalvinshaeffer2925]

On A Path Of Glory by The NoMad'Steps , beautiful song about Nature (It's on You Tube)

[@DerLouisable]

does anyone know how his harmonica is tuned? best song i've ever heared!

[@liammcnally9572]

its g

[@MrPittsSox]

Hello Australia. Come stop by for a listen...peace

[@solukhumbu911]

how i wish i was there ......without knowing .......0_0

[@randomassockss]

lol

[@ajjsag123]

"Im on a train! youaaaal!!"

[@p8cr]

Nice.! :D

[@benw3997]

I'm sorry, but I can't change the description once uploaded (only the crew of Dumpert can, but i'm afraid they're not so cooperative, mentioning names (also can't find an e-mail address of the crew :-( ). They didn't cut out the intro and outro, where TramSessions gets displayed, so you still have a little bit of branding :-). Nice to see, though, that in the comments section someone speaks about Dutch band DeWolff who recently did a Tram Session (with a link to YT).

[@BenTomlinsonXD]

the person filming at 3:25 if filming him play a different song on the screen he is playing slide guitar but awesome song!

[@pieterdeklerk6702]

Chick behind him must be staring at something pretty fucking excellent. Awesome work :)

[@bartolocasanova]

3:24 Hahahaha what a fuck it's recording this guy in his mobile, look Xavier rudd, he is taken the guitar in a different way, crazy

[@steevew]

It's 2018, I wonder if that woman behind in red has cheered up yet?!

[@edwardsaladhands]

god i wish i was on that tram i wold have paid 100 x the fair lol god bless fam

[@TramSessions]

Wow, that's amazing dude! Can you please add tramsessions(dot)com there though? We're all for sharing but now it's all branded Dumpert in the video, not too good for us as we want people find more artists at our site. It's up to over 10,000 views now so clearly people like it which is great! Cheers mate

[@adfhklajag]

which means it is more of this somewhere :-D

[@TOMHARRIS97]

get Ben Howard on it

[@Shanebear4291]

Wow......... and stuff :-)

[@Z3AL0UZ]

4:25 applauding himself I see.

[@DDonutsthefirst]

On dumpert you have 63792 views now

[@samgestier]

What key is the harmonica in? Anybody know? Thank you.

[@dandersoable]

PM = Kevin Rudd

[@theaxeandsax]

Probs G but I just jammed along with a B harmonica and you can make that work as well :)

[@charliestephens101]

Some of those people look so clueless, Xavier fucking Rudd is performing live for you, and your just sitting there minding your own business.

[@DrSandrilas]

03:23 The guy film another song with his phone! The guitar lies on Rudd´s feets^^ But in fact it´s irrelevant every song from Rudd is godlike :)
