If this isn't 10 minutes of life-affirming, really incredible music, I don't know what to tell you. That much talent within one studio is goddamn joyous.
Musicians crossing the Atlantic in either direction will keep the good old folk traditions from Scotland,Ireland,England and Wales alive.Musical collaborations like this one are great."The sky is the limit"
I see 4 people don't know about good songwriting. Sorry folks, this is one of my favorite songs. Reminds me of my dad who I lost last year. That part about "no one here maybe nobody knows about a place called Vietnam". That was my dad.
Greatest band of all time. So cool to see them building a track in the studio. And Steve is just so on fire with passion and talent. These two are perfect together. Amazing.
This is great, thanks so much for posting this Video. I had no idea they could play so many instruments, these guys can play anything. One of my favorite Steve Earle songs, the pogues made it magical.
Oh, this is king! Thanks for sharing. I have it on a VHS tape somewhere. I have such a big respect for Pogues and Steve Earle. They are ALL big musicians. Thanks!
love this behind the scenes stuff from the copperhead road album this song is how I heard about the poques Shane Macgowan and steve in the same room wow!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty sure he'd admit it too..he's never been shy about his past. It was impressive to see such a young musician at the time so commanding around legends like the Pogues!
My dad was a Vietnam era draftee. I couldn’t be prouder of those guys! The politicians lost that war not the GIs. Everyone please remember that. They answered the call in spite of the political stupidness.
ive seen em in dublin the past 4 years in a row at xmas time. you will not regret it!!!! awesome awesome stuff. incredible atmosphere. go for it. definitely.
so damn good, thanks so mxuh for sharing this magical video. I never knew the story behind this track and its so awesome to see all the guys putting it together. The Pogues forever
"Now I'm standin' on a runway in San Diego couple purple hearts,,, move a little slow,,, there's nobody here maybe nobody knows,, bout a place called Vietnam"
Wow, impressive indeed! I have seen a platinum LP of this on a wall as I stayed with Custer twice for a couple of weeks or so (he has one of course), so even that was impressive to see! Seeing what you have would be amazing. I'm assuming Mim's being your surname relates to Stacey Earle Mims in some way?
@@RichBaxterMusic well yeah but ironically she was actually married to a Mims of no relation. From my understanding it was explained to me bc I was confused too. My grandmother was a Earle. I was baptized at Earles chapel as a kid same as Stacey and Steve and where JT was laid to rest. If you've heard Elijah'schurch pretty much every thing is accurate in that song down to Ragan and the part about tomatoes and the peaches were my grandads farm he was referring to. [but plenty of other stuff grows too it's a high iron content in the soil]. It has the longest running Sunday service in Texas. I still go to Sunday service out there when I can. But I believe my brother got the original song written out ( shoot me a email I'll show u. It's cool has some stuff crossed out and different things that alnost were in the song) from Steve's great aunt who was his biggest fan also. I remember Steve had a interview in penthouse right before copperhead road and she would get any that he did. haha. She went through and colored clothes on the nude models . Lol. But it is cool that it's a UK plaque with that song , even though it resides in Texas now.
@@danielmims8467 I'd definitely love to see it, especially that its in a UK plaque too as I am from the UK. Not sure how to send emails from info in RU-vid though?
What a great video. Good to see the whole band on form. I'd like to know if his banjo was included. People forget like most the other pogues he was a multiple instrumentalist. Anyone who doubts Shanes wider musical abilities should check out his first band The Nip(s/ple errectors).
Yeah.There's a certain hyper awareness that comes forth especially under the context of an out there front back yard junk dog leaper for the round down the way, just a little further, over there by da road. Hey That There's Copperhead Road. Steve Earle is truly an American Music Singer Song writing Player of Songs That Resonate.
interesting..this had to be right after "If I should Fall from Grace with GOd" came out, arguably the Pogues biggest commercial success...produced in part by Steve Lillywhite,...and here he is again for this...
good stuff....leave it up to my friend Rich to always find the best...and, how much better can you get than Steve Earle??? i like the Pogues, they did a good job with this, but, hey, it will always be Steve's song!!
Atonishingly good songwriting and the perfect production decision with the pogues & Lillywhite. You can believe it from the very first line. BTW, Is Steve Earl is drinking FOSTERS!! worlds worst beer!
