So my Dad says, "wanna go see the old 97s?" Sure I say. So i go to check them out since I'm not familiar with them. And now after all the posts about seeing them live, I am genuinely excited about my evening. Good times
just saw them Saturday night and met Rhett before the show... great dude and a GREAT show. I've been to many concerts, and i'd put that one at or near the very top!
the line during the intro about starting the band with the notion they had no chance of commercial success is perfect. trying to be something musically, you'll probably end up being nothing. just write and let it happen.
They've been playing together since the early '90s and have been playing this song together sing the mid-late '90s. You could wake one of them out of a coma and get the other off of scientific experiment researching the effect of hallucinogens and they would be the tightest duo you'd see all year.
If you don't want commercial success why are you worried about turning people off by calling it loud folk? Surely you wouldn't give a Danny what people thought.

I hope this experience gave you a newfound respect and well-deserved appreciation for your dad.
What made me a fan of these guys is not just the awesome music, but how much fun they have when playing their music.
This is some great music. The bassist was killing it. What a cool style.
Music is therapy. Thank you
Love this! Murray's backing vocals are almost indispensible, and completely enchanting, as always!
I love these guys. My wife walked down the Aisle to the song "question". They deserve tremendous commercial success. Such Talent
Thank you Old 97s and RUclips. What an amazing performance and treat to find.
Hi jen dvorak..

Saw these guys with the Turnpike Troubadours in KC this year. They played forever! which is awesome!
I'd pay to just see them again!
They gave me one of the best concerts of my life, and I have been to a lot of them son. Welcome to the fold.
I've been listening to The Old 97s since I was 2 years old my parents had no limits to what I listened to
Same here my brother
I have been playing Old 97s for daughter since she was an infant! Great live band also!

God bless Texas. I love you all
Just found these gems after watching the guardians of the galaxy special. Damn I've been missing out. How have I not heard any of these great tunes?
Rhett is simply nailing those vocals!
What a voice!!! I love their philosophy!
These guys are bad ass.. love loud folk music
Love this band, if you never seen them live go see them they kick ass live.
So great to hear the 97s again... I remember the first time I saw them playing in Dallas! Enjoying the new work!
I was just watching a different video than this one, and told myself I'd love to see them live. Great energy!
just saw them Saturday night and met Rhett before the show... great dude and a GREAT show. I've been to many concerts, and i'd put that one at or near the very top!
Great song, great duo, great full band.
Good on you, Fender.

That was awesome.
Hell yeah! Those are my guys!!
This made my whole day better
Great band. Great song.
Digging that acoustic bass! These guys are great!
I 💜 these dudes
So talented! Play Houston soon guys!
awesome.
.....so good!
this made my crown even smoother
I like them. I especially like his shirt with the bunnies on it.
Genius
Hell yeah
Wow. Did you hear how tight they were? That is really hard to be that tight with an acoustic player like Rhett. Awesome!

Still got it.
I met him. His son is my friend !!!!
keep up this good work
awesome!!!! Super cool
"A loud folk band." THAT'S IT!!! Rhett Miller, I've never met you, nor am I gay, but dude, I LOVE you man! :D
Ditto! Most of of my friends are into club music / EDM, but the 97s *move* me!
Fuckin Murray!!!!!!!! The BEST!!!!
Cool :D
Who else is here from GOTG holiday special?
Mr. Miller was at my school
"Mr. Miller"... 😂 😂
He was at my school as well, but that's because we were students together.
Haha, fun!
Ow, Celeste!!
Stephen King is playing the hell out of that bass.
So...how was the show?
4 a long time i thought this number was furloughed
It was merely embargoed.
Where is ken and Phillip?
Playing air guitar and air drums in another air stream.
Loud folk in the same way Metal is Beach rock when you strip away all the distortion
Surf.
Ever wonder if "Celeste" is a real girl; a character in a story or a little bit of both?
Prefer this to the original.
gonna tell my kids this was florida georgia line
Loud folk band? sorry. STOMP a mud hole, that's cowpunk! omg Murray kills.

i hope he didn't mean to come off as pretentious as he sounded
still, great music!
Oh Fender you can do better than this band
Know this from Clay Pigeons! That movie was the shit!
