Ill never forget seeing this on Conan in June '94, I went out and bought the 5 Days album the very next day. That album had more influence on my musical tastes than any other I've ever listened to.
Iconic song, iconic band. etched in our audiophile brains as the best bit of Canadiana music and talent for all to celebrate, enjoy and be proud of the gift of the best musical composition coming out of the east coast.
No doubt they would've wanted more fame and recognition back in their younger days but they seem more than happy and comfortable with how their career turned out over the years.
Y'all have said it! I think the song found its perfect expression that night on Conan! And you can tell Conan knew it...now what did Gregg say to him that made him reply "yeah, I'm a freak...? .
GTFOH with your British comparison to Canadian artists! McCartney is an ass, Lennon is not bad, y'all fell down the schitt pipe listening to your so called artists!😅😊
Terrific live performance. These guys are so tight and their shared vocals in this song really complement each others style. A trademark song of Blue Rodeo.
I re-visit this performance on the regular. It's so so good. The giant palm slide on the organ, Gregg's leg kick in the bridge section, that vintage Gibson mandolin, Baz playing through a monster bass amp, Glenn with the build up going into Gregg's leg kick and Kim's sliding - it's all there AND probably one of my all time favorite songs ever.
Love Love Blue Rodeo brings back back great memories with my sister who passed away in 2009 to cancer this is for her up in heaven as she loved Blue Rodeo! Miss you everyday know you are at peace ❤❤❤💋💋
So inspiring. You have a lead singer putting passion into singing back up, the lap steel guitar (?) guy and bass player so non-assuming but ripping it, drummer with his Canadian gear, zero fashion to say the least....yet it's an amazing song played so sharp and balanced. They BRING IT!
Wow!! I have loved this band since 5 Days in July came out, one of my top 10 all time albums...but until now I have never seen a recording of them performing live from back in the day. I used to always think JC was the star of the band, but I came to realize that GK's darker and moodier songs and performances really had more of an impact on me. Still listen to 5 Days in July on a regular basis...it is a real mood lifter.
You don't know what's up till you have sparked a fatty at an outdoor Blue Rodeo concert the moment they sing... it's kinda like those sunsets that leave you feeling so stooooned. Amazing 😊
I found this band by watching the Netflix documentary “Fear of 13” the true story of Nick Yarris. I’m so glad they played this song on the documentary. What a great song!
Always liked their stuff when I heard them on the radio, stumbled upon a live performance, couldn't believe how much better they are live, now i love everything about the band. Keelor's solo record "Aphrodite Rose" is the coolest record ever...
There is a very serious argument to be made that Blue Rodeo is the best Canadian band ever. I absolutely love their music. Countless songs that are just part of who I am.
I'd give it to Personality Crisis. Maybe I just have a weakness for things that burn fast and bright. But Blue Rodeo is right up there. Five Days in July was a staple of my childhood summers. About the best lake music you could ever ask for.
This was his and his wife's favorite song & after he was gone we all sat down & listened to it & it 's amazing how this song is pretty much exactly what happened to him. Since that day I've probably listened to this song about at least 300 times. Great song
Absolutely! Seen 'em in Ottawa three times, in Cornwall and Simcoe, as well as having caught the Jim Cuddy Band in a really small venue. Every show was intimate and brilliantly performed!
Keelor/Cuddy = Canada's Lennon/McCartney. These guys are great one their solos albums, but absolutely amazing together, with no signs of slowing down after 20+ years. As davehagerty100 says, they are f'n awesome live, as this clip shows.
Love this. Thanks John Law for sharing!! All Blue Rodeo fans....they will be doing a Benefit Concert for us for our Parkinson's Foundation on Nov 6, 2015 at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario. Tickets at Ticketmaster! Help us Kick Parkinson's ass!
Kool live version! Remember I saw Greg keel or on the street in Vancouver around 99 or so ... I was really excited to say hi to him , but he was like ok kid lol
What a amazing performance.. best version I’ve heard of this song.. harmony is touching and so easy!! And great energy!!’ But I’m disappointed by Conans lack of enthusiasm, dismissive and slow clap,. At the end he was kinda surprised by Conan.. and I think Greg said “you’re one Colour!” .. and he replied “yeah I’m a freak!”… he didn’t even look at Jim directly.. some tension there 😬!!
Ummm... no. Greg says... 'you look taller', i.e. he is surprised Conan is as tall as he is. But agree with you, Conan does not appear enthused, he just mails in his response here.
Oh my god. Wow I was just watching this because it looked really rare and I love Blue Rodeo! and then WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT this whole time they were on Late Night with Conan O'Brien?!?! I love Conan too! BEST VIDEO EVER!!!
God I love Canadian music. In my humble opinion, this is an iconic performance of an iconic tune.
Fuckin' amazing! Love my Canadian Music!! It'll be in my bones till I'm long gone!!!
This song is a piece of Canadian cultural heritage, what a group of lads
The world's most underappreciated band. I will always love them.
Kim Deschamps just givin'er on the pedal steel. Beauty song and tremendously performed.
Ill never forget seeing this on Conan in June '94, I went out and bought the 5 Days album the very next day. That album had more influence on my musical tastes than any other I've ever listened to.
Awesome comment ✌
This is country music that is laid back and mellow it really relaxes you after a hard days work to just kick back n relax.
Such chorus combine can’t ask for any better
for some reason this song just strikes such a massive chord with me... every time, and it never wears on me. There's not many songs like this.
I saw them do this live at SARS in 2003. I was basically 30ft from the band. Unreal
You and me both.
Iconic song, iconic band. etched in our audiophile brains as the best bit of Canadiana music and talent for all to celebrate, enjoy and be proud of the gift of the best musical composition coming out of the east coast.
So sad this band didn't get the recognition it so deserved! Hail, Hail Blue Rodeo! Most definitely a hard act to follow!
@fushapanther Which is exactly the way we like it! They are iconic up here in the great white north!!
No doubt they would've wanted more fame and recognition back in their younger days but they seem more than happy and comfortable with how their career turned out over the years.
Y'all have said it! I think the song found its perfect expression that night on Conan! And you can tell Conan knew it...now what did Gregg say to him that made him reply "yeah, I'm a freak...?
.
@@rabby-u “You’re a lot taller”
@@Jamie-1985 good show, thanks
Saw these guys way back before they became popular. So glad to see they are still around. One of Canada's best!
Canada's Lennon and McCartney.
or Hillman and Parsons ? Love Blue Rodeo
Ur not wrong
Definitely!!
Hall and Oates
Simon and Garfunkel
Loggins and Messina
GTFOH with your British comparison to Canadian artists! McCartney is an ass, Lennon is not bad, y'all fell down the schitt pipe listening to your so called artists!😅😊
Best band that ever came out of Ontario. So proud of these guys.
What a song. What a band. Glenn Milchem absolutely kicks this song in butt! Tremendous groove.
Christopher Smith Oh Canada!!!!!!!
Agree very much!! An awesome performance by Glenn!!!
Terrific live performance. These guys are so tight and their shared vocals in this song really complement each others style. A trademark song of Blue Rodeo.
Went to see these guys a few weeks ago in Toronto and was the best concert I been to! Thanks guys for such legendary music!
A stunningly exceptional performance of an equally exceptional song.
This performance is truly outstanding...gives me chills every time I watch it....
I re-visit this performance on the regular. It's so so good. The giant palm slide on the organ, Gregg's leg kick in the bridge section, that vintage Gibson mandolin, Baz playing through a monster bass amp, Glenn with the build up going into Gregg's leg kick and Kim's sliding - it's all there AND probably one of my all time favorite songs ever.
what a great sound and talent from Canada
Incredible how good of a live performance this is.
Love this performance. I come back several times a year to rewatch.
Love Love Blue Rodeo brings back back great memories with my sister who passed away in 2009 to cancer this is for her up in heaven as she loved Blue Rodeo! Miss you everyday know you are at peace ❤❤❤💋💋
THANK GOD I Grew Up On The Canadian Border.......Great Music By GREAT CANADIAN BANDS......
+Dean Powers ....love this!! We do have some great bands!
I am thankful that at 66 I live near the Canadian border so I can be exposed to so much great music.
This is an absolute stunning masterpiece of beauty, emotion, soul, love 🌲🍁💜🍁🌲
Most beloved song by most beloved Canadian band. An audience-singalong favorite at Blue Rodeo concerts.
So inspiring. You have a lead singer putting passion into singing back up, the lap steel guitar (?) guy and bass player so non-assuming but ripping it, drummer with his Canadian gear, zero fashion to say the least....yet it's an amazing song played so sharp and balanced. They BRING IT!
Awesome comment!!!
Zero fashion? Isn't a t-shirt "fashionable" anymore? Hahaha
@@paulmcconkey637 sure, when they fit :)
Probably the best version out there!!!!
With the Skydiggers is off the charts
Blue Rodeo is the best! Even after all these years Jim and Greg are still dynamic together!
Wow!! I have loved this band since 5 Days in July came out, one of my top 10 all time albums...but until now I have never seen a recording of them performing live from back in the day. I used to always think JC was the star of the band, but I came to realize that GK's darker and moodier songs and performances really had more of an impact on me. Still listen to 5 Days in July on a regular basis...it is a real mood lifter.
That Gibson jumbo is amazing.
Love your music listen at night when I’m in bed love it
I wish I had a large enough font to adequately express "YES!!!" for this band and song.
These guys always deliver a good performance. I'd see them play again and again. Never get tired of their brand of music.
Damn, what a GREAT version of this song. Maybe the best I've heard!
I agree! I've seen them about 50 times in my life and it never gets old. hehe!
Every time I saw this band live it was magic.
Still Listening Feb. 21, 2022 Hi Everyone.
This is timeless and the song's beauty and this awesome performance just warms my heart.
You don't know what's up till you have sparked a fatty at an outdoor Blue Rodeo concert the moment they sing... it's kinda like those sunsets that leave you feeling so stooooned. Amazing 😊
Best song of their's.
Fucking unbelievable...so beautiful...made a grown man cry!!!
great music,proud too be Canadian.2021
I found this band by watching the Netflix documentary “Fear of 13” the true story of Nick Yarris. I’m so glad they played this song on the documentary. What a great song!
Does any Canadian not sing along when Blue Rodeo comes on the car radio?
Never tire of listening to “Blue Rodeo” love “GK””
Always liked their stuff when I heard them on the radio, stumbled upon a live performance, couldn't believe how much better they are live, now i love everything about the band. Keelor's solo record "Aphrodite Rose" is the coolest record ever...
Amazing performance
Still love this tune 12/21
I saw these guys once and Great Big Sea was opening for them. All I can say that it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to!
Cuddy/Kellor will always be Canada's Lennon/McCartney. IMO.
I simply just can't get enough of this song, studio version, live version anywhere anytime...it consumes me.
There is a very serious argument to be made that Blue Rodeo is the best Canadian band ever. I absolutely love their music. Countless songs that are just part of who I am.
Blue radio or tragically hip... but 90% of the band was Canadian and the band was one influential bands ever... blue rodeo would agree
I'd give it to Personality Crisis. Maybe I just have a weakness for things that burn fast and bright. But Blue Rodeo is right up there. Five Days in July was a staple of my childhood summers. About the best lake music you could ever ask for.
I can place myself exactly where I was when I first heard this beauty! Miss ya Careleton crew 93 Russel House!
Carleton
Good see Hendrix came back as a steel guitar guy!
Over 150,000 hits on this video are from my autistic daughter. 💙
She's got impeccable taste.
This song really shows how their voices come together each other and make the band's 'sound'! Compliments to the band as well of course!
This live version is great ! 2 thumbs up from me.
This was his and his wife's favorite song & after he was gone we all sat down & listened to it & it 's amazing how this song is pretty much exactly what happened to him. Since that day I've probably listened to this song about at least 300 times. Great song
They are so F-ing good.
Such a GREAT tune! Blue Rodeo rocks! :)
Totally Awesome Band.
These guys rock, even when their music is on the mellow side. Great stuff!
Yes, an excellent Canadian band! I just saw a month ago, I am a FAN!
Brilliant.The song is a BENCHMARK.
saw them a bunch of times each summer at Bourbon Street North of Montreal. Always a great show
Jim Cuddy just so effing hot
Absolutely! Seen 'em in Ottawa three times, in Cornwall and Simcoe, as well as having caught the Jim Cuddy Band in a really small venue. Every show was intimate and brilliantly performed!
Sometimes you forget what kind of a great these guys really were.
And still are.
As great as Blue Rodeo performed, which they were amazing. The video editor did a fantastic job on this. Amazing for all involved.
Who on earth is playing lapsteel?!
Incredible
kim deschamps
Pedal steel, to be exact, but yes, he's good!
@@glenfenderman And with no picks either!
@@littlechicago7482 I didn't even notice that. Good eye!
He's a great guy too. Left Blue Rodeo in 2000, but he's still making a living as a musician in and around Austin and Montreal now I believe.
Awesome group, Love them👍🙏
I love this song. They look so young too.
This song is a masterpiece!
Thanks for this song. These guys were meant to sing along together. Hope their egos don't separate them along the way.
Just a totally wicked song...
Added this vid to my favorites. This band is incredible. I'm glad I've been able to see them live and hopefully will again.
Great performance! I was surprised to see Conan O'Brien giving a lame applauds, but its all good.
they all are Brilliant!!!!!!!!! ********************* full of rhythm
Just love the entire band, so good! Exceptional talent songs from life and well written emotion that is raw
Never tire of this song
Always had so much fun at their shows. Love these guys.
Saw this live at Bluesfest was amazing
As did I. They were incredible. I was lucky enough to be 10 feet from Jim.
I was there too. And then I saw them again at the NAC in February!
Keelor/Cuddy = Canada's Lennon/McCartney. These guys are great one their solos albums, but absolutely amazing together, with no signs of slowing down after 20+ years. As davehagerty100 says, they are f'n awesome live, as this clip shows.
Fabulous band. Love these guys.
truly and awesome band and song
Best song ever written. EVER.
This song always makes me homesick for Ontario. :-(
Love this. Thanks John Law for sharing!! All Blue Rodeo fans....they will be doing a Benefit Concert for us for our Parkinson's Foundation on Nov 6, 2015 at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario. Tickets at Ticketmaster! Help us Kick Parkinson's ass!
If you ever get a chance catch these guys LIVE! they are fucking awesome!!
Look at the hair Doo's!!!! Jim and Greg look like they french kissed a lightsocket hehe!!!!
Kool live version! Remember I saw Greg keel or on the street in Vancouver around 99 or so ... I was really excited to say hi to him , but he was like ok kid lol
One of my favorite songs! My favorite band!!!!!!
This performance was the peak of musical glory. Its been all down hill since.
Saw these Gents last night in Banff.
They continue to get better and better with age.
What a amazing performance.. best version I’ve heard of this song.. harmony is touching and so easy!! And great energy!!’ But I’m disappointed by Conans lack of enthusiasm, dismissive and slow clap,. At the end he was kinda surprised by Conan.. and I think Greg said “you’re one Colour!” .. and he replied “yeah I’m a freak!”… he didn’t even look at Jim directly.. some tension there 😬!!
Ummm... no. Greg says... 'you look taller', i.e. he is surprised Conan is as tall as he is. But agree with you, Conan does not appear enthused, he just mails in his response here.
beautiful mandolin
Good job boys! Canadiana at its finest! 🇨🇦
Oh my god. Wow I was just watching this because it looked really rare and I love Blue Rodeo! and then WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTT this whole time they were on Late Night with Conan O'Brien?!?! I love Conan too! BEST VIDEO EVER!!!
