This special live CD/DVD features Martins unique blend of comedy and bluegrass and is a first class evening of excellent entertainment.
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.

On the way off chance that Steve actually reads this I just want to say...Thanks for everything.
Steve Martin is a national treasure.
Indeed!!
Amen
Amen! Luv this talented man.
Red Shoes Why is that
Yes, he is.
"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
Amazing how it combines all of Steve Martins strengths in one song, and Edie Brickell ...is a goddess.
"It's a song that tells a story...."😂❤
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.
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. 😊😊😊
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.
For 45yrs I thought he was just a really funny comedian.Way to go Mr.Martin!!!
Oh, my gosh! What a great song and dose of humor by the great (who else?) Steve Martin!!!!❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😊
Fantastic banjo player that Steve Martin is. Great addition with Edie. She has a perfect voice for this.
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 Martin for President, because he's done everything else brilliantly!!
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 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
Nicky Sanders is one of the best fiddle players in bluegrass today. 🎵🎶🎵 🎻
The fiddle player is vibing and I am here for it
Great, again. PLEASE DO NOT retire from music.
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).
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 👍🏾.
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” 😉
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🙄
Now that’s good country music!
I was at this show. Great time.
Only Steve Martin could pull off that "butter cup" move on a formal stage.
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
The fiddle player has ' happy feet ' . Love it
More banjos.
Steve is so talented and handsome as hell. That strong jaw, I always thought so.
This dude is unstoppable!
what a great way to grow older with music.
Simple unalloyed joy for these troubled times. Thank you.
Eddie is such a cutie! Love this song, just found it. Lyrics if you want them:
Saw a girl at a picture show
Walked right up and said hello
Seemed to me like a girl in need
I'm a guy who's built for speed
You and me could have some fun
You pretty little one
Took her riding around the town
Ain't no woman ever shut me down
Ever seen a truck like this?
How about a little kiss?
You pretty little one
Pretty little one
Pretty little one
Took her out about a month or so
She's my gal, I told her so
She resisted for a bit
Maybe that's the way of it
You pretty little one
Couple times she tried to leave
Told her that don't work for me
Her daddy tried to intervene
Folks, I'm just a mean machine
I can handle dumb old Pops
What's he done but shovel rocks?
I said, Baby that's enough
I might've got a little rough
On the pretty little one
Pretty little one
Pretty little one
Then she called me late one night
Said, It's over, let's not fight
I said, Sure but one more talk
Maybe just a little walk
Around the block a nice goodbye
You're so lovely honey-pie
I went over, picked her up
Got her in my pickup truck
Driving slow around the town
Then I put the pedal down
Took her down a gravel road
Stopped the truck where no one goes
This is where the job gets done
On the pretty little one
Pretty little one
Pretty little one
Blackest night that I had seen
In the darkness I felt mean
From my boot I pulled a knife
Said, I'm gonna take your life
I was calm as I can get
So I lit a cigarette
In the flicker I could see
She had a pistol trained on me
That pretty little one
Edie Brickell
I said, Mister I'm no fool
My daddy raised me country cool
I think my papa knows enough
Guys like you who think they're tough
He read you easy as ABC
That's when he gave this gun to me
And ever since your truck arrived
My hand's been on this.45
Steve Martin
I went at her with my knife
She pulled the trigger, shot me twice
In the heart and in the head
Took half a breath, slumped over dead
She pumped another for good luck
Right between my buttercups
That pretty little one
Pretty little one
Pretty little one
In the grave I'm dead and gone
The little gal, she wrote this song
She came over in due course
Sang to me without remorse
Then she whispered to the ground
Edie Brickell
I'll let you have another round
My name is Lucy Allencott
You should know that I was not
Your pretty little one
Absolutely fabulous, amazing talent
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.
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.
Who would downvote this? This is brilliant.
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.
Fantastic short story in a song - loved the plot twist! 😂
Love the fiddle player . He's got ' happy feet ' He kinda dances when he plays .
I have been watching Steve Martin since I was a child. Never disappointed!!
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.
C'mon help this song go to 1Million VIEWS🔥🔥🔥❤️🇲🇨
Edie Brickell is a perfect complement to this band.
im glad hes in the music biz. seems like he more loves doing it rather than just doing as a job.
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.
Yeah , this is great, Steve Martin is a very talented actor & musician, and singer, how about that America!?
From Russia with unwavering respect for talent and warm love for the actor!
Long years of happy life to you, Mr. Martin!
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!
From the sound of this song, it has become evident that Steve Martin will never swaaaaang again.
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!
Please just plat bluegrass all the time. Still just as fresh as the 70's
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!
Brilliant song!! Love the pickin of Steve and love the Steep Canyon Rangers. Edie is a great addition to the group.
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.
Love how Edie looks at Steve. She's always been super pretty and those eyes are amazing. 😊
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.
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!
Saw them at the Wharton Center on the campus of Michigan State University. What a fun night!
It's so nice to hear a song about the success of love between two people.
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 love this song. CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HEARING IT.
I tried playing banjo before. It’s a beautiful instrument but my heart is set on a six string stratocaster. At the end of the day I’m just a country boy from NC not many of my kind around here a long ways from home there here in UT but this music especially by a legend like Steve Martin takes me right back home to east NC on Town Creek Rd. 🤘🏻 🖤
Awesome. I've been a Steve Martin fan for 40 years (ouch!) and I never tire of seeing his work.
40 years and he hasn't aged a day LoL
@@HowardBaileyMusic Having gray hair at 30 helps with that!
The lead up to this song was also great
That fiddler!! Steve's picking's pretty good too. The fiddle player is superb, though. It expresses the story line.
This Was the kind of music my papa love country music.
Oh my Steve. What a beautiful talent. Thank you sir!
Great song…lol
Mr Steve Martin I am your number 1 fan..in music like in movies aswell...I'm from Mexico I'm here in America since 1987.in Mexico I saw your first movie I was don't understand English but I went to school and learn really good thanks God now I whatch all your movies ..God bless you and familie Mr Steve Martin...
Love you too, Mr Vargas. You are a very smart man and a great American. Steve likes us Common people. He is so talented, so funny, so smart, too. Bless your family.
Steve Martin
Talent overload
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
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.
Great American artistic ...greetings from Mar del Plata Argentina 😊😊😊🤗🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Hello from the USA, state of Georgia!
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!
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
The Steep Canyon Rangers are from Brevard NC. Each year they host a great fundraiser concert series for the Boys and Girls Club. Each year we hold our breath to see if Steve will surprise us and join. So cool when he does. Such a great guy.
I can't find ANY problems with this song whatsoever.
My only problem with it, is that it ends...
Aabsolute, stone cold brilliance! Loved this absolutely 💯
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.
I’m glad Steve is doing something that he likes. We should all be so lucky in our retirement. He is the go to guy for banjo. Steve I think you’re better doing this than comedy. I loved your comedy but this surpasses it.
One of my favorite original Songs. Steve Martin is a genius!
Laughed SO hard that I cried. Thank You, Mr. Martin. One and All!
Steve Martin has the best face on the planet. He's also got some good talents to go along with it.
Comeuppance set to music. Thanks, Mr. Martin.
Wait for the ending. Steve, Edie and Guys are best bluegrass band for many years.
Dang, this is 1 talented person. Dang tight band.
Saw/heard this song at the Hollywood Bowl last summer. Actually, it's a pretty good song.
Me too! And I agree. :)
Wonderful I have no more words
wow great Song and awsome Band
I can't stop watching this, the tension build..to release is simply brilliant.. I love it, and yes, Steve Martin CAN sing!
The first time I ever saw Steve was on The Smothers Brothers Show and he played banjo!
haven't heard a song this entertaining since "Tom Dooley"
He’s rare. Like Dick Van Dyke. Talented on so, so , many levels. I adore him.
I was a young teen trying to learn the banjo when I first saw Steve Martin on Smothers Brothers -- that arrow through the head while he played banjo did it for me. Funny guy. Great banjo player.
Hi Steve from Columbus, New Mexico. Oh this is good. Steve and Edie and the Steep Canyon Rangers. A cure for depression if there ever was one.
....I agree...any dark clouds gave way to rays of sunshine...
😍😅😂🤣 Thanks, Steve & Edie! 👍
Steve's great
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.
I laughed my buns off at "Atheists Have No Songs". But I was amazed to hear how talented Steve Martin is on banjo and with his voice. I will have to catch his show somewhere.
Honestly, Steve Martin, you are the only Comedian who ever made me laugh out loud. Love you Steve. Keep up the great work!
Just remember Steve is in the banjo hall of fame-yes he can play it
@@ncpipingbob I had no idea! Thanks for sharing!
He’s that dude 🔥
I didn't expect that; it is simply great, full of twist and style! A gem
It would be cool to see them come to Conway,Mo Bluegrass festival
I love you Steve Martin. LA Story my absolute favourite. Your fan forever PL
