I got 2 tape cassettes of the album, 1 for me & 1 for my Dad ,he picked me up and we put it on in his car . We drove 27 miles just listening to it . Got home &put it on again.Since my dad passed away I listen to this song & think of my dad.
Luv ya Steve, named our road to our farm Copperhead Road, way back, because there was Copperheads there!! Lmao Still UNDERSTAND it all!! 63 yrs old now, life SOOOO different now, especially living in city compared to country, where we grew up!! SAD for the children! 😞
They've killed it every time I've seen them play (4 times in the last 5 years). It helps to have The Mastersons as part of The Dukes. Tight, rootsy, and can rock out too.
I always thought they should play, "I like Big butts And I cannot lie" by Sir Mix-A-Lot at my funeral either that or "We've only just begun" Carpenters....
And he gives back as well. He was playing in my town with The Dukes about 8 years ago and to my surprise, I saw him at a 12 step meeting (I’m breaking anonymity a bit, but it’s Steve Earle so not a secret). A few of us obviously recognized him and were in awe. We talked to him for a bit and he gave us all free tickets to his show in town. They rocked it out too!
When this album or cd came out I was a young man,maybe 21. I got it for Christmas because I liked small town Saturday night. So I was listening to the whole thing and this song rolled around,it made a life long impression on me. I’m 54 now and still have the cd and still get it out a enjoy it sometime.
@@dannyharty3656 my dad played an old fiddle tune he called "Old man old woman" and I heard the main part of it in Steve's initial mandolin prequel here! We're Scotch/Irish
I saw this dude in New Orleans uptown at Tipitians and he blew the fuckin roof off the place! It was while he was filming the hbo show Treme. I'm a big fan now!
The drummer's face at 1:37........Do you think he's witnessed Steve be unpredictable before? Best live version ever, awsome. Operación Pacífico Capítulo 12 MARTES (25/02/2020) | Telemundo HD
Y'all can say whatever you want but that first two minutes of mandolin sounded like he was trying to play with broken fingers. And no this isn't the best live version. It was far better in his youth when the song came out; saw him open for the Kentucky Headhunters. Damn, Steve.
I have loved Steve Earl for a long time. And to me he can do no wrong, but We all get old and have off days and lose a step or two and I think that's what happened to him on this day. He'll you could see it on Steve's face, he knew he was off
Although I love the song, I don't believe it's even close to his best. Still, the first time I heard it on the car radio I.whooped out loud and yelled out the window "THESE ARE MY PEOPLE!!"
richard bennett If interviews are to be believed, Steve got sober 4 years before this video. He just looks like that. I saw him a few years ago and he looked like that.
Actually, I don't think so. I have seen Steve multiple times, and he really does not change much from show to show. Setlists on a tour are almost always identical. He is quite predictable, down to the jokes and stories he tells. The drummer was pretty new to the band at this point, though, which might explain it.
It is Farm Aid - Crowds are often under-enthusiastic at festivals. They come for one or two bands they most like, but different fans are there for different artists.
I don’t know if it was the distortion on the guitar or on the mandolin, but it sounded absolutely awful. It sounded like it was plugged into a biscuit tin.
If it is too loud, that is on the sound guy, not the guitarist... Eric Amble is a well known and respected guitarist, and is playing pretty close to the album version.
If you mean out of his mind on drugs, you are wrong. He got clean in 94 and has been clean and sober since then. He is a hardcore 12 step guy. He does look better here than a few years earlier, when he was just off the drugs and had gained a lot of weight on methadone (which is pretty usual.)
@@crisprtalk6963 And you have absolutely no evidence other than your bias. He has been clean and sober since 94. If he had relapsed, there are plenty of people who would have made it public. There are a couple biographies with extensive research and no mention of any relapse.
In my humble opinion there are maybe 10 songs in my life all genres all eras all styles that r i suppose songs beyond the normal versions of songs. I hope i make my point clearly. Songs that r on another level n i guess can go into the Library Of Congress as pieces of national archives. For me without thinking too much a few of them again, just my humble opinion, i would enter Born To Run Springsteen and the E Street Band, Symphony #9 Beethoven ( the last 6 minutes is in itself masterful n 6 ranges of pure emotion) i would put PSA by Jay-Z 2003 as 2 or 3 minutes of some of the deepest most realistic n thought provoking rap lyrics ever as well as maybe something by Dylan of course. On n on BUT this masterpiece has to be there. From the narrative to the combo of musical arrangement. The story n almost anger or revisionist anger idk just truly beautiful in every way. Thank you for reading.
You may have done dope, but he is not high. He had been clean 5 years here, and there are plenty of people around him to dispute that if it were not true.

Seeing him Saturday night at the Opry !
@@terriippolito497 watching this 2 years later and I'm jealous 😂🤠 I'll bet you had a great time!!
Copperhead Road blew me away the first time I heard it.
This WILL play at my funeral. My all time favourite song.
No rush tho.
I always thought they should play, "I like Big butts And I cannot lie" by Sir Mix-A-Lot at my funeral either that or "We've only just begun" Carpenters....
Not mine, however I understand if somebody else might like to.
Nice Irish intro on the mandolin
its called AGE! and its for all to look forward to!
I noticed it right off and even Steve noticed it. You could tell it in his face. But for it being live it was not half bad
Age?? He was only 45 here!!
How tame was the crowd for such a classic song!!
I'm super glad he cleaned his life up 🙌! He was a hero to me, second to my pa. Thank you Steve

Steve Earle Copperhead Road was the very first CD I got
Me too!!!! COOL!!
Awesome mandolin intro and when this song kicks in with the drums!!! Kickass tune
One of the best songs ever !
Same year I moved to Nashville. Steve is my number 1 man
😂I think this guy wrote some beautiful music, where is he today. ❤❤❤❤❤
Living in NYC.
@@pegnewsarepta3589 Steve still does some stuff on RUclips.He’s around.
@@kyzor-sosay6087 Thanks.
I'm super glad he cleaned his life up 🙌! He was a hero to me, second to my pa. Thank you Steve
This version is just begging for bag pipe backing.
There's so much Irish music in there

Love this live version
I guess this song wasn't the huge line dance song it is now way back then. Every country bar I've been in packs the floor to this song.

Steve Earle Copperhead Road was the very first CD I got
Your so lucky x
The drummer was great on the sitcom Wings :)
MUSICAL ICON. Love Steve Earle.
WOW! Hard to believe how many people weren't in the front. If played there today, it would be wall to wall. This band was TOP NOTCH!!!
Fantastic performer fantastic music .
That sounds so good live
Totally awesome ! ! !
Awesome version
Canada loves you! we play the tune all the time up here! Great tune! a sip of moonshine to that! yeeHaaa!
Wow. Love the mandolin.
that guitar is really cool .. has such a unique sound
Adam Broomfield Steve is playing a mandolin. It’s got a miniature guitar shaped body, but it’s strung like a mandolin.
@@michaelwaugh7973 - And 8 string mandolin at that too..................a very unique sound.
Going to see them tonight
Very pretty version, awesome stuff !
Impeccable.
I f****** love this song
Gonna see Steve and the dukes 07/09/22 small venue in Lincoln county montana. Gonna be awesome!
Best live version ever, awsome.
The drummer's face at 1:37........Do you think he's witnessed Steve be unpredictable before?
Most definitely YES 😉🤙🏻💙🎶🎶🎶
Like an amazing short story or novella its story a d his story telling details n abilities r superb.
its called AGE! and its for all to look forward to!

@Steve Jones I agree, no idea how that kid got the gig, he has no musical sensibility at all, really killed the song
@@sharkskinboy - nah - Steve killed it during his intro ... wasn't his day, and he obviously knew it. Gotta be hard to get it right every time.
Poor Steve.. he looks how I feel on Monday mornings 😂😂
big withdrawal symptoms!!! Ive been an addict and if i didnt have a drink in the morning i would look like that.
richard bennett If interviews are to be believed, Steve got sober 4 years before this video. He just looks like that. I saw him a few years ago and he looked like that.
He had been clean and sober a few years at this point
Miss the ol Dukes......
amazing!! best live ever

Love Steve E &!-Dukes ❤️ just for them to come to Sweden (Malmö,Sweden) 🍻
The drummer's face at 1:37........Do you think he's witnessed Steve be unpredictable before?
why are so many people sitting down?
Love yo0u Outlaw.
A like simply for that fucking sweet mando solo intro
Them boys is high.
Nope. Steve had been clean and sober 5 years at this point and refused to have anyone in the band who was using.
5:15 that scream!
I've heard people call Van Morrison "Grandpa Grumpy". The title fits for Steve too!
You can literally see the relief on that poor drummer's face when Steven finally went into the vocal, from his mandolin hijinks.
When the drums first kick in… 🤌
Steve earls hands are huge!!!! How small that guitar looks.
Mandolin... Lol
Lol!!!!
Yeah and those 8 string Telecasters are really rare!
😂😂😂
It's not a guitar lol
The drummer's face at 1:37........Do you think he's witnessed Steve be unpredictable before?
Drummers face at 5:43 after he dropped his stick.
@@GooglelyTube glad you pointed that out

I grew up in Riverton, Va and the store at the top of road Copperheads but not sure our road was named just Riverton I always thought hum?
It's so weird to see Justin as a Duke knowing the sheer magnitude of the songs he'd later go on to make.
Justin who
That is David Steele, not JTE. He was Steve’s lead guitar player for a few years. JTE was a second guitar… and is taller
@@liamgallagherrr Steve’s son Justin Townes Earle… but this is not him
What a dead crowd! This song is an all-time classic, and not even one cheer or whistle when they recognized it!?
It is Farm Aid - Crowds are often under-enthusiastic at festivals. They come for one or two bands they most like, but different fans are there for different artists.
I thought the same thing!!
I thought the same thing but I'd look like an idiot cause i would have been cheering my ass off 😆
For real. You'd think they were on their cell phones, but this was '99.
Mexican love this song copper head road moon shine
Badass.
This is like History ,following music from 1990s to present 2019.. still great.. what happened to the blonde hair ?
Nice Irish intro on the mandolin
is boss level
Love yo0u Outlaw.
Love this song and singer Just wondering was the crowd dead not one gave any reaction
What’s the drummer’s name, please? He is so intensely attuned to Steve. A great listen and fun to watch. Always loved the old video, too.
farm aid needs to become America Aid, Patriots for America.....
steve looks great with haircut and short beard
Nice
I don’t know if it was the distortion on the guitar or on the mandolin, but it sounded absolutely awful. It sounded like it was plugged into a biscuit tin.
It's a fesitval show, man. That's how it goes sometimes when you can't exactly dial it in with a good soundcheck.
Poor Steve.. he looks how I feel on Monday mornings 😂😂
Steve earls hands are huge!!!! How small that guitar looks.
It's a Mandolin
🤠❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
start at 1:50
Can ya smell the whiskey burning. ..?
Looks like he'd cleaned up by this time.
Good job.
why are so many people sitting down?
Dear God why are so few. Ppl in the audience??
Americans sit there in their seats at concerts. Get up and dance enjoy your life
Will Rigby(from the DB’s) on the
drums!
Tiene mal aspecto pero aún así lo da todo , no como otros que salen a un escenario a reirse del público .Bien por él !
Damn turn the guitar down. it drowns everything out.
no kidding. some super star wanna be on the guitar.
If it is too loud, that is on the sound guy, not the guitarist... Eric Amble is a well known and respected guitarist, and is playing pretty close to the album version.
Sounds good to me.
guitar is just right
amazing how people cant tell what went wrong, and at the end the mando quit altogether lol.
Damn he looks healthier here indeed but still possibly out of his mind!
If you mean out of his mind on drugs, you are wrong. He got clean in 94 and has been clean and sober since then. He is a hardcore 12 step guy. He does look better here than a few years earlier, when he was just off the drugs and had gained a lot of weight on methadone (which is pretty usual.)
Looking at the size of him. I would not cross him.
Most of the weight gain is probably due to quitting smoking and therefore eating more.
why is there no mosh pit?
he looks HIGH!
He got clean in the early 90's. You're the one that's high.
@@jimhere1 You're right there is NO SUCH THING as a relapse.
@@crisprtalk6963 And you have absolutely no evidence other than your bias. He has been clean and sober since 94. If he had relapsed, there are plenty of people who would have made it public. There are a couple biographies with extensive research and no mention of any relapse.

Where did you get this Video from. Back when he had this hair style, he resembles a former Neighbor Buddy of mine !
dude looks like jack black here... but still sounds awesome!
hahaha you read my mind!
5:41 lmfao... this dude is blowed and pissed it seems as he drops his stick
I noticed that look on his face right before so g ended when he turned kinda towards the drummer ......he had a look of disappointment on his face
friend's
what is the name of the first pist played in this video (steve play it)
Does anyone know what brand this mandolin is?
Seriously the drummer,,,
When Steve stopped playing the first tune the drummer got this really confused look on his face😂
I will say, the money invested on the bagpipe player was well spent.
Sound guy needed to turn his microphone up
DO NOT mess with GrandPa Pettimoor!
oh yea...thx! i thought i was scotish, turns out i am.... thx. mr earl!
Time passes..
I have done dope, and I gotta say one thing, he is high AF lol
You may have done dope, but he is not high. He had been clean 5 years here, and there are plenty of people around him to dispute that if it were not true.
You're the one who is high
