Todd. I hope that someone will pass this on to you. I live 35 miles southwest of Chicago Illinois. For many years, there was a "club" of about 15 people, who would all keep their eyes and ears open for any word of you coming within about a days drive of us. We would sound the alarm. Before you knew it, there was a phone tree working overtime to gather every scrap of intelligence relating to your visit. We initially formed our little family waiting outside of the clubs for the doors to open for one performance or another. Eventually we got to form a family. All centered around you. We love you. We sacrifice to see you. We miss you. A few of us have actually met you (myself and ex-husband included). My ex-husband and I would catch wind of an upcoming tour. We then arranged to obtain tickets. Once tickets were secured, we would act as our own travel agents. We would do whatever it took to be there. We Would scrimp and save Book a hotel Research one good meal to be had the evening before the performance all other food was from fast food and gas stations For many years our vacations and eventually our honeymoon (and wedding date) were all scheduled around your tour dates. We got married at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet Illinois on October 12th 2006. Then we had a reception at our local pizzapalooza. The very next morning we loaded up the car and drove to Bowling Green Kentucky. We had a absolutely fantastic road trip. We pulled into Bowling Green at about 3 am. We checked in and passed out on the still made bed. After about 12 hours of sleep, we decided to explore Bowling Green. It was a great town. Very friendly locals. We went back a couple of times for vacation. I have seen you live many times. It has been years since last time. Beer Run was our song. He hosted an open mic night at a shit hole bar on a smelly canal. B & B Riverclub, along the I&M Ship and Sanitary Canal. The stench was terrible on a hot summer night. Guys working on barges are very friendly folks. We got the to dock up and drop anchor outside. Good hardworking salt of the earth people. One night I attended the open mic night with my mom. Billy Osman played Beer Run while waiting for the next group of musicians to take stage. I greeted it with extremely loud enthusiastic accompaniment. Our eyes met. The rest was history. We loved you then. We love you now. ✌ + ❤ = happiness 😊 ✨
Todd is an American treasure. Everything folk music is supposed to be. Been listening to him for years and it never fails to stop me in my tracks listening to his lyrics. Thanks buddy, see you soon we hope
Thanks for being you, you helped me out of my darkness as few years ago and I was grieving my oldest son and I believe he sent you to me knowing I needed your humor.💯✌️💚
I just saw Todd Snider last night at the Portsmouth Music Hall in Portsmouth, NH. He played almost all the same songs as in this video. He is great and always delivers. Fantastic show last night and I will return to this video from time to time.
Stumbled on this after watching a Ray Wylie Hubbard concert. Thanks RUclips. "I'm not sharing my point of view with you because I think I'm smart, I'm sharing it with you because it rhymes" dead
Amazing musician and songwriter And Story teller. I have seen him live in Seattle and since I’m in Portland I just might head down to the tunnel and clean off “Todd snider rules!” On the wall ;-)
What a nice way to spend doing my Sunday afternoon busy chores. Very nice licks on his guitar, great stories, and I feel like I just spent good times with him.
I'm a huge fan of Todd Snider down here in Australia, I first heard him when my favourite Radio station down here was playing his "Songs for the Daily Planet" album back in the early 90s. My Dad likes him too, he sent me this video.
I saw him in Nashville, 2001.... as his concert was progressing I took my binoculars out and scanned to the far left of the stage and I saw John Prine; he and his group had came out of their Bus --- because of all of the noise and laughter that Todd Snider was getting... John Prine, was laughing and clapping with his people.... "saying,,, look at that little shit, go.." The crowd was so into it; and Todd,,,, ..... is so ..... damn-ly ..good.
I am the quintessential Straight White Conservative Male, and I've been into you since 1996, Road Rage song was my gateway, followed by Alright Guy. Kepp Being Genuine.
Yeah, this is my 3rd time watching this and my first time through I watched the individual videos rather than the whole thing in one. I wonder if that's why the number is still so low.
Coming from a 60 something Okie...great talent, well performed, and entertainment with humor, Fantasmic performance! Will be watching fo.. mo..fo.. sho Keep up the good work Todd
If you think he's great on here, try to get out see him live. Todd is truly one of a kind. Like some others have hinted at, there's a reason Todd is/was friends with Cowboy Jack Clemens, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, Tom T. Hall, David Ferguson, Shawn Camp, Kris Kristofferson, Rambling Jack Elliott, and so many others. Todd is truly one of the best entertainers I have ever seen.
Someone needs to make a movie about Todd Snider! Who do you think should play him? There’s probably enough material on RUclips to make the whole movie!!
Just found this, thank you for posting. I love this guy. Todd Snider is real, easy to follow, and just rough enough, but not vulgar. The very last lyric "Lost Highway" was an old Hank Williams song. His taste in music is alot like mine, from Hank to Hendrix. Great work Todd. ;-)
I met Todd in Louisville in 1998 at BBC - I worked at a music store and had a copy of "Songs From the Daily Planet" for several months. Instant love. I have been following him ever since. Can't wait for Occupy Main Street!!! Can someone give me a ride home???
I just happened upon this video as a George Strait song played right before it. Since it's my birthday and I could not sleep, I thought I would listen, because the sun is not up yet and I have time on my hands. I never heard of this guy, probably the age gap. However, I listened and enjoyed his stories, but am I to understand he is a comedian? I did not get his humor. That is not a judgment now. I am hitting 54 so I have a different concept of humor which you have to have when you get A.A.R.P. invites in your mail weekly. Then I realize as I listen to Todd, that this video is from 2007. Well, I remember 2007, but I do not remember him. Anyway, you can tell he worked out all these stories, has a great memory because he rambles just like I am doing now, only he can make everything make sense even though he has run-on sentences that are bases-loaded grand slams...speaking of baseball....
Doug, We are the same age and I only remembered the song BEER RUN from the Bob and Tom show. For years I thought this guy was a comedian. But after I got into John Prine and other Americana artist Todd popped up on my Pandora playlist. Now I see him everytime he comes to town. Always a great show.
October 16, 2021 at Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo California 9pm Have my tickets row J seats 34-35 tomorrow nite !! Getten' primed for the gig here🍻🎵🎧🎶✌️
I've seen him several times before during and since the time he put this out. This was by far when he was at his best. The crowd interaction and song lyrics were great, and you can really tell he was practicing on that guitar. I loved his book, and I have met him a few times after shows, but now in some of his interviews he just seems a bit strung out. Same goes for on stage with HWA too. I hope someday he gets back to the 05-09 form.
Dude You make me laugh you make me just about cry. I just teared up. Then you make me laugh again. Then teared up its back and forth like that and Your opinions some of them make me angry but not angry at you angry at them . If I could just figure out who them are.
Who writes like this?! Todd~ I got a writing deal in the early 90’s in Nashville and spent 10 years that I wish I could get back writing songs. Some of them are actually good, if you want publishing lemme know. I bled for my craft, but achieved nothing like you. Be thankful as you are TRULY gifted! Jesus!
Shit...Orpheum...Tyson, convention center, hard Rock...anywhere in Sioux city ...the ickey nickel or bolinfest shit , rivercade, anywhere... a couple hundred miles even...I hope to see this dude play sometime in my life
@@theburninator888 ,Thank you very much John. I stand corrected. I first heard the song many years ago done by Jerry Jeff. That it was a Billy Joe original is very possible being Jerry Jeff was a disciple of Billy Joe and Todd being a disciple of Jerry Jeff. Please forgive me I meant no disrespect I just got "Swept Away" which is a Jon Dee Graham original I guarantee(10:30 pm ,the Continental Club, Austin,virtually every Wednesday night. see you there.) H.
Ok, I did some checking. John and I were both wrong. This song was written by Guy Clark. Being a life long(very long) Texan and having followed all of these performers I can assure you all of them would be proud to have this attributed to them. My apologies to everyone who was misled. And most of all, my (posthumous) apologies to Guy. I should have known better. .. H
Similar senses of humor and definitely in the same ballpark vibe wise, but as damned good as Paul is, Todd is a whole magnitude of good greater. Funnier too to my taste anyways, those two and Ray Wylie Hubbard are so criminally underrated as songwriters and storytellers!
@@douglaspatrick868 I started listening to Ray Wylie Hubbard a few years ago. He is a phenomenal song writer. Very refreshing to hear poetry like his in this modern age of music.

Out here scrolling and happily accidentally I came across this guy!
He's a legend in Santa Cruz, California. An absolute treasure of American culture.
Hes a legend in Norman, Oklahoma. Hes a legend in Portland, hes a Legend! Much love to you my guy or gal. Stay lifted, stay laughing, stay cool.
My favorite storyteller, not many left✌️❤️ from Bloomington Indiana,Hope everyone is doing well in these troubled times.

I’m amazed and blown away to find this. I would’ve loved to have been at this performance
Go see him. He likes to stay close to home so you gotta go to California. It's worth it.

Got this moment that I’m in right now, and nothing else at all.
"If worms had daggers birds wouldn't f--- with 'em" possibly the greatest lyrics of all time!!

I've had the pleasure of seeing Snider several times. He never disappoints. Great lyricist and performer. Check him out.
Please

I kinda think todd snider might be able to pull it off.
Todd play Todd,no one else could
Why ruin it with a movie. Who's the "someone" who makes the movie.
"...and I read a lot of rock magazines" cracks me up every time
Just found this, thank you for posting. I love this guy. Todd Snider is real, easy to follow, and just rough enough, but not vulgar. The very last lyric "Lost Highway" was an old Hank Williams song. His taste in music is alot like mine, from Hank to Hendrix. Great work Todd. ;-)
Bill D. in Iowa Hank recorded it but didn’t write Lost Highway
Thank you, Todd.
A living legend
Thanks Todd
I'm workin' on a time machine so I can be there, too.
Todd is a great song writer and entertainer. I love his stories and songs. Next time he's in Pittsburgh, I'll buy him a beer.
This is his best song
I met Todd in Louisville in 1998 at BBC - I worked at a music store and had a copy of "Songs From the Daily Planet" for several months. Instant love. I have been following him ever since. Can't wait for Occupy Main Street!!! Can someone give me a ride home???
In all my my lifie I wanted to play a Train song and now he did it.... Feels Perfect.. I hope that Todd continues to entertain US.. Love him..:.
J now no o can ôijji I uponjnojok it up not not nok

I’m 59 and discovered him opening for John Prine when his first record came out. Early 90s. Been a fan ever since.
Thanx Todd. You always pick me up, especially when I'm down. Bless yer heart. Thank you for posting this, Boulder House Concert.
Still heat
Awesome.....👍👍

Paul is da nizit too. Both are Troubadours of the people.
What's the song that begins at 1:23:25? Is that one of his songs or a cover? I've never heard it before.
Jerry Jeff Walker.

It’s a Guy Clark song called ‘LA Freeway.’
why is the guitar so quiet??
Don't know the right musical or poetic term...but he reminds me of Paul Thorn.
Similar senses of humor and definitely in the same ballpark vibe wise, but as damned good as Paul is, Todd is a whole magnitude of good greater. Funnier too to my taste anyways, those two and Ray Wylie Hubbard are so criminally underrated as songwriters and storytellers!
