The Jayhawks - Waiting For The Sun - Remastered 

Right back at you... Sometimes the simple things in life are the best that this world has to offer. Some good tunes, the laughter of friends, and maybe a beverage to enjoy while we're here. Much peace and love to you and yours...

Yes!

You prolly dont care but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all the new movies on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend lately =)

@Torin Karter yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

Dani California's Last Dance Waiting for the Sun

Someone else used this riff also, can't remember who.

Most underrated group ever? Whatever..

@@mcraft2240 well, one of the most.

I concur.

+Daniel Gunter Right!?

Gary is not only a great guitarist but a formidable songsmith up there with the great ones like Young and Stills....... and Ray Davies of course.

Wow!! So rare to see/hear someone recognize Raymond Douglas Davies as the genius that he is!!

Agree.

Waiting for the sun. No- I am going to it. Following the sun. Shoulda left a month ago.

Yes. We did not know what great days we had in the 1990’s much like American had in the 1950’s. The music scene had changed from the cheesy ass 1980 big hair bands to Alternative.

No because there was no RU-vid in 1992- but I had more hair back then 😆

@@sartainja yea the 80s sucked in so many ways. The 90s and the 70s were the best decades for pop culture type shit like music, movies, etc

+Emmo Hernández I can see why...

OnlyA Northernsong They're great ;D

Jayhawks

I do as well. Still got the album on vinyl, think it is their best. Nevada California is one of my all time favorites.

I think you have something there. I loved the Dillards from the first time I saw them on the old Any Griffith show. Saw them in person circa 1968 opening for the Byrds (The Byrds first gig without Gene Clark).

I thought it was Tom Petty Mary Jane at first LOL

@@williamnord1115 Yeah, that chord progression is common to a lot of songs. Someone mentioned Danny California by the red hot chili peppers. I'm sure there are lots more. Hard to pick which one at first!

Love this track and without it, Dani California wouldn't exist.

@@SobrietyandSolace or Last Dance With Mary Jane....which was accused of ripping off this song then Dani California was accused of ripping off Mary Jane. Rick Rubin produced both Dani Cali and Mary Jane, and the keyboardist from Jawhawks played both on this song and Mary Jane live

i feel like alot of the biggest artists of all times top hits were probably ripped off bands with smaller names and power in the industry

What?? They haven't been inducted already? That's criminal

@@RobCoates1 You're darn tootin'.

oh sweet jesus... he DOES sound like Carly Simon!

I read this before hearing it and thought "what does that even mean". Then I heard it.

Kevin Burgess nope, I believe Petty proved he wrote the song before this; some old rehearsal footage was unearthed. Both great songs of course.

yes, I hear it at the very beginning. Hope Petty gave them some Dosh.

@@humanearthling1484 the keyboard player for the jayhawks plays piano on the petty song so it was combined effort between both groups.

It was in 92 and Tom definitely was inspired by this song but we can’t say the chili peppers were inspired by Tom bc I’ve wrote many songs then was like wait this sounds like this famous song lol when I was 17 like almost 20 years ago I’ve been playing guitar for about a year or so self taught and that’s how I learned Foo fighters everlong bc I was making a song then realized it was everlong and also same with few other songs

Inspired......

@@DrRawBalls_TheDummy here, you need these: .......

Yeah, the tom petty song is almost the same in parts... way to close.

Same keys player on both songs...

@@TiminSE definitely made some agreement behind the scenes. It's the same chords for groove. But... I love that they did. Would never have heard this great song otherwise.

How does dani california not sound like mld to you?

Yeah Tom Petty used a E cord in his song, and only The Jayhawks use the E cord in their songs. Come on muh dudes the songs might share some progressions and style, but Mary Janes Last Dance is a different song end of story. Plagiarism is a slippery slope when it comes to music, and if you look hard enough you will always find something that "stole" from something else.

It happens! I am now really enjoying Back Berry Smoke!

Just heard this on Sirius underground garage. Love it!!!

I hate to admit I think this but ...Petty should have been opening for the Jayhawks.

FACT: Petty's riff was written in 1988 and 1989 and was never finished for Full Moon Fever and shelved because he hadn't finished it and was leaning towards more acoustic songs. It was brought up again when he needed a song to put on his '93 Greatest Hits thing for MCA because he couldn't wait to leave the label. If anything the Jayhawks stole the riff from Petty. HIlarious that people think Petty is running around trying to lift material from the Jayhawks and I like the Jayhawks.

구우우우우우 ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ 뜨 쓰러졌답니다

어쩜!

There was just as much shitty music in the 90s as there is today.

@@Dilapsor yeah but I was much younger back then. :P

@@Dilapsor i kinda doubt it. Simply because there is just way more music in general these days than ever. Which will mean more shitty music naturally. More good music too, but its about the ratio. If we just focus on mainstream for example....what most ppl know...theres much more shitty to good music now than there was in the 90s. Now the 90s have several diff eras, some being better than others, but in the 90s even the mainstream acts still had talent as bands and truly made and could play good music where as today its much more "engineered" if you will. In all honestly, musicians that actually play music arent even really needed, but they need someone to be famous and have celebs lol. Any possible thing you could imagine could be created by one person on a computer. The producers these days are the actual musicians.

And on Def American like the Black Crowes, their Ilk seems to be no more, this generation

"Last dance with Mary Jane, One more time to kill the pain...". Funny that Petty's camp sued RHCP for "stealing this riff" from HIM, on "dani california" I think.

@@LetsGoMetsGo33 no he never sued. He said pop songs can sound alike and he didn't care.

@@LetsGoMetsGo33 Yeah, that never happened. Tom specifically said that "it's rock and roll... everybody steals from everybody else" implying that he didn't care at all, as a previous comment explained.

@@scottmatznick6461 @yours truly. I stand corrected. I didn’t make it ip, it was reported a few places, but happy to see it’s BS. i’m a Tom Petty fan, RIP.

BilisNegra buy a cheap guitar

It's never too late. Get a guitar or a keyboard and give it hell. You won't regret it.

Amazing, and reads like a poem.

Wow I agree

Cherry picking at its finest. I agree that the chord progression during the section of "Waiting for the Sun" that you indicate does match that of the "Stairway to Heaven" solo, but the rest of the song does not.

@@trigonzobob I may not have gotten my point across in this post. I was only pointing out that it has more of a similarity to stairway to heaven than it does Mary Jane's last dance. In my opinion none of these songs sound similar enough to warrant saying that any of these artist stole from one another.

FACT: Petty's riff was written in 1988 and 1989 and was never finished for Full Moon Fever and shelved because he hadn't finished it and was leaning towards more acoustic songs. It was brought up again when he needed a song to put on his '93 Greatest Hits thing for MCA because he couldn't wait to leave the label. If anything the Jayhawks stole the riff from Petty. HIlarious that people think Petty is running around trying to lift material from the Jayhawks and I like the Jayhawks.

Unless Petty released the song before The Jayhawks recorded Waiting for the Sun I’d like to know how they stole it from him. Use your head.

+Scott Struble Yeah, totally.

Just like the vast majority of music today...

Jayhawks….

the jayhawks wrote this, petty made mary jane's dance from it, rhcp copied it, kenny chesney copied it and a few others. there are riffs from this song that also have similarities to other tom petty songs. but the jayhawks were the first.

more stairway to heaven...to my ears. the lead in this is reminiscent of stairway also. there are only so many chords, ppl.

Other way around Gautam.

From what I heard, they opened up for Tom Petty on tour

Зашëл сюда, чтобы увидеть, что здесь есть такой коммент)))

I like all of them, but recognise that without this song, we wouldn't have gotten the other two.

Foxy Lady..... And on & on it goes....
