Guster - "Either Way" [Live Acoustic w/ the Guster String Players] 

Guster is criminally underrated

Guster is easily one of the very few bands that sounds even better live than they do on their albums. I can't even begin to describe my love and admiration for their music. They are a godsend.

The crescendo gets me every time

Like a fine wine...they only get better with age.

Dear Guster... I write. And I've been told I'm pretty darn good. Had a few things published.. done a few live readings of my works.. This song.. means everything to me.. May have saved my life.. thank you for the beauty of heartache and hope

It's amazing when a band can perform live and sound just like they did in the studio, and really even better. This is so good.

Their music is like therapy to me, maybe that's a negative way of wording it to some. But music was always there for me when no one else was, sometimes it's just soothing, or to wallow in depressing thoughts (it can help too) or in this song's case, it actually helped me to reflect. 'poison in every word you say', I was that person to everyone around me for a while.

"Either way" live or recorded....Guster is one of a kind. Am so thankful I stumbled upon them on WDST about 17 years ago and have had ear candy ever since.

Guster I love you

Absolutely exquisite. I'd put the falsetto in this song up against any falsetto anywhere.

We used to cover their songs and this never grows old on me. My band years where some of the best I had in my life and Guster is a part of that beautiful time. What a band!!!

I literally have CHILLS.

I’ve always liked hard rock. For some reason, I’ve always loved Guster. Very talented, and never a dull moment. I put them ahead of DMB & OAR

Just got dropped after 4 years with someone. This song is keeping me alive. Thanks, Guster.

I stumbled upon this song while looking for Satellite (which I had heard years ago, but couldn't remember who did it). When I saw the singer, I was overwhelmed with how closely he resembles someone I loved and lost (and then truly lost because he passed away 3 years ago). When I listened to this song I was so filled with emotion, I am still unable to find words to express it. I felt like my lost love was reaching out to me in some cosmic way. I know this sounds corny -- but it gives me some peace.

Breathtaking! These guys are SO much better than all of the other shit they play on these corporate radio stations here in Ohio, SMH. Saw them live in Kent,that was amazing:))

Great musicians who clearly love their craft of music. I can feel their passion for the song and the listener. Way to go, Guster. Love your music. Thank you for sharing.

Still my favorite song so far. I love the new albums and I am waiting on the new one to come out May 2024 (signed record on order!!)

I think I just found my favorite version of one of my favorite songs!

Cry every time. Beautiful beyond words

My bf played this for me last night. I cried. How have I never heard this perfect song?

All of the tears. This is gorgeous

This is the best Guster song ever written. I've listened to this band since 2003 and I've never even seen them perform live in a video let alone in person. This is so magical back then, it's still magical now.

My dad was playing this video on the TV a couple weeks ago, and said, “The drummer must get hungry while playing.” It took me a good minute to realize Brian’s shaker looks like an apple lol

Just watched this 4 or 5 times in a row, like damn.

This is so good it hurts … but , in a good way … Guster … rules !!! 😊

Perfect rendition of the song.

Had a boyfriend who loved this band. Introduced them to me. Ditched the asshat, but continued to love the band.

Wow. Love this.

Genius , perfect song , period , wow .. !!!

I could listen to that song on repeat and not grow tired of it.

Was outstanding in Brooklyn, too.

Just saw you tonight at Count Basie in Red Bank. I was hoping you'd play this song bc its my fave. Even though you didn't, the concert rocked!! So funny and creative too.

this brings out such emotions. Best version of this song. Love this band

OMG - absolutely beautiful.

Simply the best.

Beautiful arrangement, I love Guster!

I love these people so much!!!

Windsurfing off of north beach South Haven Michigan in the fall. North breeze 1/2 mile offshore

Wow. So many reasons, so many emotions, but in the end, after seeing that, just wow. Like 'knock me down with a feather' wow.

I love this song more every year! Guster live is the best.

Perfection!

This is beautiful! and it took me a long time to figure out that Brian R was not eating an apple.

Absolutely unbelievable. So spot on. Love you guys. One of my favorite songs ever.

I love this song!

man darn near perfect

Simply very good. I love their live shows. Magnificent!

I fucken LOVE Guster!!!!

Saw these guys a few years ago at Mountain stage in Morgantown WV, had never heard of them before there set, after they were done i said WOW great band and have been a fan ever since.

I sooo want to meet these guys. Their songs are just so heartfelt! I want to know what thet mean to them!!! Just beautiful!!!! The lyrics, the harmonies, the music!❤

Absolutely beautiful

Wow! The audio is so crisp and awesome. Great job!

Wowzers! That was awesome.

Gosh this is just brilliant

This song hits home...a sad reality for trying so hard! Perfectly spelled out in music!

Fantastic version.

Beautiful!

Guster and the indigo girls should do a song together! They would sound fantastic!💜💜💜

Heel mooi! Echt genieten.

So good.

LOVE!!!!

Where did you learn it's either him or you? ~ This song is so beautiful. I love all the videos with the Guster String Players. They add such a beautiful touch to already beautiful music xo

Guster

Awesome!

Bravo

Lovely

❤

Guster is a shadow illuminating band, It takes research and accident to discover clear heart music.

Did anyone else think that the drummer had a real apple on his kit at the beginning of the video? No? Just me, then.

How is this better then their studio quality!

Come to brazil

This songs reminds me of my brother...

You were almost kind, You were almost true, Don't let me see That other side of you You have learned in time That you must be cruel, I'll have to wait To get the best of you Poison in everything you say Don't you, don't you Wonder what difference does it make Either way You were almost kind, You were almost true, But give away that other side of you Happens every time So it must be true Step on a kid He'll grow up hating you Poison in everything you say Don't you, don't you Wonder what difference does it make Either way Were you ever kind? Were you always cruel? Who's ever seen That other side of you? Happened every time, So it must be true Where did you learn It's either him or you You were almost kind, You were almost true, Don't let me see That other side of you You have learned in time That you must be cruel, I'll have to wait To get the best of you Poison in everything you say Don't you, don't you Wonder what difference does it make Either way

ala the inimitable Slim Whitman
