Years ago (arrow through the head days) I saw Steve Martin do a show. His monologue had everyone in tears. Then he picked up his banjo and everyone went nuts at his talent. The world needs more Steve Martin's -especially now.
I remmeber seeing Steve singing "king Tut Funky Tut" in Symphony Space in the late 70s. I was 10 years old but that performance took up permanent residence in my head. 😊😊😊
Been a fan of Steve Martin since the Smothers BROTHERS and this with Edie Brickell and the Rangers is incredible. How can someone be so multitallented is just beyond me. Of the small list of people I wish I could have met in my lifetime I put him up at the top.
I got him to autograph my program a few years ago after a show with the Steep Canyon Rangers at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It was a tremendous thrill to see him up close! I have so much admiration for him. Many thanks, Mr. Martin!!
This song has everything: brilliant writing, composition and arrangement, fantastic performers, continuously escalating murder drama sprinkled with comedy, and a dazzling climax with a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan. Steve Martin is so ridiculously multi-talented.
As a musician, I'm blown away at how good Steve Martin actually is as a musician. Wow.... Talented comedian, actor and musician. And, he's quite a good magician as well.
I've seen this before and just love the fun, rhythm, lyrics, just everything about it. And, of course, Steve is one of my most fav entertainers, so incredibly talented all around (wrote a great book, too).
He really is a Renaissance Man insofar as his varied interests and accomplishments. I’ve long felt a reverence for good ol’ Steve, stemming from his dedication to whatever he’s doing ... and from his self-deprecating yet humorously subtle arrogance. Guess he’s pretty ok 👍🏾.
I just found an album, The Epic Sessions. Yeah, he does have a great voice. Was listening to Edie Brickell at work. I did see her live twice. I miss the 90s. The dogs like Edie😁I work at a Veterinary Clinic as a groomer. Love from Alabama. This whole compliation is now in my Spotify list. Super impressed. I love blue grass🙋🏽♀️🥰🐶🪕
Steve Martin has been entertaining us since late 1960s - Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, movies, stand-up comedy on TV and concerts, and unique bluegrass music. Now he is on tour with Martin Short. Let’s hope he can perform for another 10 years. Thanks for everything, Steve.
Steve Martin is a great talent, I remember the first time I saw this guy and he made me laugh like crazy I knew he could play banjo but I never saw him play anything serious till now and it was somewhat comedic but shows his true talent.
Dear Mr. Martin, I want to let you know that watching you play really inspires me to learn how to play the banjo. I love the sound of the closed-back Deerings, and have no musical talent at the moment, but what the hay!!!! I might as well do something that I enjoy before my dirt nap! Thank you. Your music is GREAT!
Shame on me, I only just found this content. It does my heart good to see and hear this amazing group of talents collected together. I've been a lifelong fan of Steve Martin's acting career but other than the camp fire scene from "The Three Amigos", the bathtub rendition of "I'm picking out a thermos for you" from The Jerk and "Under The Old Oak Tree" from The Man With Two Brains, I had no idea Steve's talent stretched so widely as to include this fantastic ability to create excellent music. I have also been a long time fan of Edie Brickell and have all of the CDs of Edie with The New Bohemians so I recently bought the CD of Steve & Edie, So Familiar and can recommend it to anybody with ears.
Awesome. I rarely go to a live music concert but I went to Steep Canyon Rangers a few years ago when they played in the round in Long Island. It was worth the drive.
Thank you. Saw you at the University of Utah back in the late 70's. Saw Doc Watson that year too. You are more like him today than then. What an amazing entertainer you have been and are now.
Oh brother, those “damned gun control advocates”, eh? Never get in a truck with someone you know very well is disturbed and likely violent. (Yes, yes, I realize this is merely an allegorical song.)
As I've mentioned elsewhere here, the two did an album in 2015 and I love the video they did for a great song on the album, if you haven't seen it, I think you'll love it, enjoy! ruclips.net/video/7TpPnST13fc/видео.html
I’ve had a nice experience tonight. I tuned into an arts tv programme and happened upon the whole concert. As an Englishman, this sound is pretty new to me, but it was a most pleasant hour or so. I didn’t even know he had a band. I’m hooked!
This is my favorite song right now. Love the banjo, the fiddle and Steve's voice, but the story is the best part. First heard it at the 2014 Ottawa Jazz Festival, was my favorite performance of the night.
I like to call this song 'Buttercup'. My grandfather played the Banjo and I too would love to play one IF I had a banjo. Love to you Mr. Martin, you amazing artist!
I haven’t heard or heard Edie Brikell since the “New Bohemians” days and “Shove me into shallow water”! Better than ever! And as far as Steve, I’ve been a fan since waaaaayy back!
Yup, agreed! I hadn't heard of this live concert until now myself, but in 2015, Steve Martin and Edie Brikell did an album together (available on vinyl no less!) and a great video, and if you aren't smiling on hearing and seeing this I don't know what to say! :) Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/7TpPnST13fc/видео.html
I've listened to this "Story Song" quite a few times lately. Now I have an Ear Worm that won't go away. I guess that's why I'm smiling a lot today. Thanks a bunch, My Pretty Little One.
Years ago (arrow through the head days) I saw Steve Martin do a show. His monologue had everyone in tears. Then he picked up his banjo and everyone went nuts at his talent. The world needs more Steve Martin's -especially now.
I saw Steve Martin when he was the warm-up act for Helen Reddy. He was hilarious.
kj @@JoanJennings
I saw Steve at Cowtown Ballroom ( Kansas City MO) back in the 70's. Great show.
Steve Martin is a national treasure.
Indeed!!
Amen
Amen! Luv this talented man.
Red Shoes Why is that
Yes, he is.
On the way off chance that Steve actually reads this I just want to say...Thanks for everything.
"It's a song that tells a story...."😂❤
"A banjo player is like a tornado, you can hear it coming from a mile away and there ain't nothin you can do about it". ----- Steve Martin
How could you ever dislike this? It's Steve freaking martin!
Steep Canyon Lost A great member when Woody left.
I hope all the rest survive
This is the first time I’ve heard Steve Martin sing ~ he’s great. I’ve been impressed with his banjo playing forever...wow! The band is tight!
He's been singing for quite a while - search the video "king tut strut"
@@pileofstuff I sure will. I remember that skit.
I was thinking the same thing!!!!
I believe Steve lived the Laurel Canyon's explosion, in early 70's
To be fair, the King Tut Strut was more of a rap than a song, IMHO.
Steve Martin has been playing as long as he's been a comedian. It's so good to see that he's gotten a chance to shine at something else now.
Steve Martin for President, because he's done everything else brilliantly!!
So now you want to see him run...Away.
yes, and I would love the hear the Presidential musical! Replacing the theme, "All by myself"?
I remmeber seeing Steve singing "king Tut Funky Tut" in Symphony Space in the late 70s. I was 10 years old but that performance took up permanent residence in my head. 😊😊😊
We saw a documentary on him. Terrific! Some of his movies are hysterical--a few were sappy. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is still a favorite.
Amazing how it combines all of Steve Martins strengths in one song, and Edie Brickell ...is a goddess.
For 45yrs I thought he was just a really funny comedian.Way to go Mr.Martin!!!
The fiddle player is vibing and I am here for it
Been a fan of Steve Martin since the Smothers BROTHERS and this with Edie Brickell and the Rangers is incredible. How can someone be so multitallented is just beyond me. Of the small list of people I wish I could have met in my lifetime I put him up at the top.
For me it would be Dolly Parton and Steve Martin!
Give him ring, he'll prolly answer 🤣
and Jimmy Buffet@@francisbtube
I got him to autograph my program a few years ago after a show with the Steep Canyon Rangers at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It was a tremendous thrill to see him up close!
I have so much admiration for him.
Many thanks, Mr. Martin!!
Steve's coat and the purple backdrop look well together.
This song has everything: brilliant writing, composition and arrangement, fantastic performers, continuously escalating murder drama sprinkled with comedy, and a dazzling climax with a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan. Steve Martin is so ridiculously multi-talented.
As a musician, I'm blown away at how good Steve Martin actually is as a musician. Wow.... Talented comedian, actor and musician. And, he's quite a good magician as well.
And writer. Pleasure Of My Company is a gem.
So talented, Steve Martin, musically, humorously, intellectually, author and actor ...
I've seen this before and just love the fun, rhythm, lyrics, just everything about it. And, of course, Steve is one of my most fav entertainers, so incredibly talented all around (wrote a great book, too).

So true..so talented. Ilove him and to think he is one of us deplorables!!!
I love his and Short's banter.
Dave Sheil “I remember when I had my first beer” 😉
Oh, my gosh! What a great song and dose of humor by the great (who else?) Steve Martin!!!!❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😊
Steve Martin is so amazingly talented we never know what's next one of the greatest talents of our time there's no denying he's a wild and crazy guy
Great talent...Steve Martin
The fiddle player has ' happy feet ' . Love it
Fantastic banjo player that Steve Martin is. Great addition with Edie. She has a perfect voice for this.
I just found an album, The Epic Sessions. Yeah, he does have a great voice. Was listening to Edie Brickell at work. I did see her live twice. I miss the 90s. The dogs like Edie😁I work at a Veterinary Clinic as a groomer. Love from Alabama. This whole compliation is now in my Spotify list. Super impressed. I love blue grass🙋🏽♀️🥰🐶🪕
TY! I’ll search for it!
@@flautalee3090 it has Nas. Little Nas. Whatever his name is🙄

Nicky Sanders is one of the best fiddle players in bluegrass today. 🎵🎶🎵 🎻
Steve is so talented and handsome as hell. That strong jaw, I always thought so.
The new phone books are in the new phone books are in!
Great, again. PLEASE DO NOT retire from music.
Brilliant song! Thank you so much.
I was at this show. Great time.
This dude is unstoppable!
wow great Song and awsome Band
Love the fiddle player . He's got ' happy feet ' He kinda dances when he plays .
It would be cool to see them come to Conway,Mo Bluegrass festival
So many jaunty little tunes about men killing their women. Nice to hear an updated twist to these tales!
The lyrics are nuanced and masterful. Set to a great melody. Performed beautifully by the whole band. An instant classic. I listen to this often
Yeah , this is great, Steve Martin is a very talented actor & musician, and singer, how about that America!?
Always loved Steve Martin anything so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw him perform at the Grammys a few years ago. This song is so him.
Steve Martin is a great talent, I remember the first time I saw this guy and he made me laugh like crazy I knew he could play banjo but I never saw him play anything serious till now and it was somewhat comedic but shows his true talent.
Steve Martin
Talent overload
Classic Steve Martin..!! I freaking love this..!!! ❤️ 😂😅 😘💯👌👍
Now that’s good country music!
The fiddle player's great!!😊
Saw Edie B. with The New Bohemians at a thousand seat hall in Davenport, Iowa. This is the first time I have seen and heard her since then.
Dear Mr. Martin, I want to let you know that watching you play really inspires me to learn how to play the banjo. I love the sound of the closed-back Deerings, and have no musical talent at the moment, but what the hay!!!! I might as well do something that I enjoy before my dirt nap!
Thank you. Your music is GREAT!
How's that banjo, Rhonda? I support you in playing your dreams!!
He inspired me to play banjo too.
Brilliant song!! Love the pickin of Steve and love the Steep Canyon Rangers. Edie is a great addition to the group.

Simple unalloyed joy for these troubled times. Thank you.
Mr Martin is a very rounded artist... Very talented... Movies... tearther... Is anything this man can not do?
He can even tap dance!! Look for clip with Gregory Hines!!! All around talent!
I had forgotten how much in love I was with Edie Brickell. What a great song. You make good stuff. Thanks for the years and years of entertainment.
Steve Martin wrote it.
Me too!
Great American artistic ...greetings from Mar del Plata Argentina 😊😊😊🤗🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Hello from the USA, state of Georgia!
Thank you. Saw you at the University of Utah back in the late 70's. Saw Doc Watson that year too. You are more like him today than then. What an amazing entertainer you have been and are now.
I can't get enough of this song. I've watched this ten times in a half a day already. I need it in other venues and not just on youtube!
Put it on Fbook and things! ALL the gun controle advocates should hear it! : )
Oh brother, those “damned gun control advocates”, eh? Never get in a truck with someone you know very well is disturbed and likely violent. (Yes, yes, I realize this is merely an allegorical song.)
me too!

So he's got talent!
I watch this about every couple days, what can I say
You have excellent, although narrowly focused taste!
All I can say, is u just one sick puppy.
From Russia with unwavering respect for talent and warm love for the actor!
Long years of happy life to you, Mr. Martin!
I didn't know you was a musician how refreshing
Aabsolute, stone cold brilliance! Loved this absolutely 💯
im glad hes in the music biz. seems like he more loves doing it rather than just doing as a job.
Steve Martin is amazing. Loved him on SNL back in the day. This song is a stalker song. So disturbing I couldn’t finish listening to it.
Steve's great
I’ve had a nice experience tonight. I tuned into an arts tv programme and happened upon the whole concert. As an Englishman, this sound is pretty new to me, but it was a most pleasant hour or so. I didn’t even know he had a band. I’m hooked!
Watched it too. I knew he played, but what a treat the band and Edie Brickell were.
always nice watching your videos
This Was the kind of music my papa love country music.
Fantastic short story in a song - loved the plot twist! 😂
"...and likely one of the best 'story songs'. ;-)
Love that fiddle player !
I have been watching Steve Martin since I was a child. Never disappointed!!
This is my favorite song right now. Love the banjo, the fiddle and Steve's voice, but the story is the best part. First heard it at the 2014 Ottawa Jazz Festival, was my favorite performance of the night.
Great lyrics: he's part poet.
@@cockeyedoptimista All good song writers are.
what a great way to grow older with music.
I can't stop watching this, the tension build..to release is simply brilliant.. I love it, and yes, Steve Martin CAN sing!
You guys shouldve came to delaware they were singing this song it was a cover
LOVE THIS SONG
Steve Martin has the best face on the planet. He's also got some good talents to go along with it.
eeeeesh, macabre yet BRILLIANT performance!
The first time I ever saw Steve was on The Smothers Brothers Show and he played banjo!
Saw them at the Wharton Center on the campus of Michigan State University. What a fun night!
Comeuppance set to music. Thanks, Mr. Martin.
The lead up to this song was also great
I like to call this song 'Buttercup'. My grandfather played the Banjo and I too would love to play one IF I had a banjo. Love to you Mr. Martin, you amazing artist!
A wild and craaazy little one!
Oh my Steve. What a beautiful talent. Thank you sir!
Great song…lol
I haven’t heard or heard Edie Brikell since the “New Bohemians” days and “Shove me into shallow water”! Better than ever! And as far as Steve, I’ve been a fan since waaaaayy back!

Steve Martin wild and crazy bluegrass musician playing a murder ballad. 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻
I didn't expect that; it is simply great, full of twist and style! A gem
I've listened to this "Story Song" quite a few times lately. Now I have an Ear Worm that won't go away.
I guess that's why I'm smiling a lot today. Thanks a bunch, My Pretty Little One.
From the sound of this song, it has become evident that Steve Martin will never swaaaaang again.
Love how Edie looks at Steve. She's always been super pretty and those eyes are amazing. 😊
Hey, this is the biggest surprise after I've learned that Clint Eastwood loves jazz. Congrats, Steve, this is a pretty BIG one of a performance!
excellent!
It's so nice to hear a song about the success of love between two people.
Dang, this is 1 talented person. Dang tight band.
Wow... I was listening ever so closely to the lyrics and it’s genius. Steve Martin is amazing.
Love , love Steve Martin.
Bravo Steve..
Please just plat bluegrass all the time. Still just as fresh as the 70's
I love this song. CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HEARING IT.
This song is ear candy. I can't hear it enough. It's soooooo darn catchy! 😀
