Have always tried to include Tom concerts in my travels - California (Ojai, McCabe's. etc) Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Buctouche New Brunswick, Nova Scotia (Canso, Berwick and Halifax) and have never, ever been disappointed. Sure miss those live concerts.
Tom/kindred soul - great job with a knockout lineup & their performances here! Stay safe, well, & Long May You Run! :-). Best of holiday wishes to you & family, met at Seattle Tractor.
Tom's new song "Into the Wild" is very beautiful. 💚💜🧡 The song is truth-filled & spirit-filled. It's a very good song with a beautiful melody that draws you in and a very good message. The Road not Taken. Into the Wild. We hope next year Tom will be back on that road less traveled. We hope he'll push against the age that pushes against him and will be back on his journey... into the wild heart of America. And we'll see him there on that road. We hope he records this song & sings it with passion. A duet with Jacqui Sharkey would be great. Thumbs up for Tom's new song! He has our approval & support! Now he has to live the song!!! And meet us on the road and play live gigs. Back into the wild! Live free!
@@EastSider48215 Not if you're taking the "road less traveled".... and if you believe in your music! COVID 19 does not determine OUR schedule and we're taking the road less traveled. We hope Tom will do the same! If he believes in those lyrics then he will.
@@EastSider48215 Yeah. Right. Like ten thousand other sane normal happy people. You can choose to live in fear and be a slave, or you can take the road of freedom. Into the wild! Now please leave us alone. And stop insulting & attacking people on Christmas Eve. Have some decency.
I’m so sorry I missed this live, but am so grateful I can still see it. What a lineup!!! Although truth be told, this could have been Tom all by himself and this would still be the best Christmas concert I’ve ever been to.

I've been fortunate to have followed Tom ever since Robert Hunter called him up on stage to sing Gallo Del Cielo many years ago in NYC. It's been a long wonderful ride. Thanks for all the music you've gotten me thru many a dark night. It fitting on this darkest of years you're spreading a bit of light with this show. Many Thanks
We watched it 3 times. Tom is soo cool!!! It was refreshing to see that nobody in Gstaad wore a mask & there was no social distancing & Tom was right in the middle of it all. It was very nice to see. Same with Tom & Florian Schneider being so close together & singing. In California people are not even allowed to sing at church, even if they wear a mask. It's nice to see that Tom doesn't give a shit about social distancing rules. I hope it finally shuts up all those people in the fan community / at the record label who think it is THEIR mission to "keep Tom safe". Obviously Tom doesn't want to be "kept safe". So now that we settled that, it's time for live concerts where we'll all be safe or not safe together!!!
14,000 cases a day in Los Angeles now. Average age in one hospital is in the 40's. Anybody can get it. When one of yours dies, or you get sick, you may regret those words. Your freedom is not my ticket to death.
Tom looks & sounds great. His heartfelt performance of Raglan Road by the river is totally amazing. He also kicked ass as Railroad Bill when he sang "A Showman's Life". That was cool. Who would've thought... but our favorite scenes are the ones of Tom and Florian Schneider. Great energy & great chemistry! There was a real connection & love between those two. Wow!!! We loved that so very much. And it was good to see that neither Tom nor Florian are into social distancing. We loved that. It was nice to see normal healthy human behavior. There was a big dose of crazy weird stuff in this video as well... but in a good way. Weird & crazy is good. Some of the guest stars acted in a way that seemed totally far out & made us laugh. We actually enjoyed all of them. It was good to see Tom. But we want to see him in person & not on a screen. It's time for him to tour. When watching it you can tell that Tom really wants to sing & that he craves contact & being in front of an audience. It's like Eric Bogle sings in his new song: "Sing while you have a voice. Sing while you have a choice." (Or something like this...) It's about time that Tom sings in front of live audiences. We really miss him. We want to see him & hear him sing!!! The video reminded us once again how much we miss Tom's concerts. But we enjoyed the video. Thumbs up!!! Julia & Gina
Tom this a great idea.. I know how much you enjoy collaborating with other singer song writers and poets given the lock down world we find ourselves in now this is a great way to provide an opportunity to showcase some of the talented artists you have regard for. a fan from Off Broadway, St Louis looking forward to a time when you will be back here
Damn! I so wanted to catch this live; but I’m grateful I can at least see it here now. What a treat this is! And I really loved the opening act - you should keep that guy around.
Again Mr. Tom Russell hits a Home Run out of the ball park. Great job Tom on the International Folk Festival. Will continue to Follow you. Just an Outstanding Show.
Tom singing "Spanish Johnny" by the river is KILLER. It's the very best scene & song. But there are other killer scenes & songs like Bill Kirchen & Tom doing "Sonora's Death Row" or Tom & Katy Moffatt killing it with "Hallie Lonnigan". And does Tom look good in that green t-shirt or what? 💚💜💚💜💚💜
