When times are good, you enjoy the music. When times are bad, you understand the lyrics.
James is right. When you spend too long in the wasteland--you can't leave.
For anybody that don't like McMurtry's music, well, just move on down the road, man. He's got enough fans so that we won't miss you. LOL GB
Listen man.. Slammin jam ruclips.net/video/7HVUF-OaL04/видео.html
I believe the Continental Club was also a place to see SRV back in the day. I really enjoy this live version.
Big Brother Jimmie still plays there.
I could listen to McMurtry all day. And all night. And all day. And... well, you get the point.
The great Ian McLgan on keyboards. RIP.
he is still rocking the Continental Club
"Well I don't know, I might not speak the language anymore" indirect and elegant, amazing wordsmith
My favourite artist of all time. It's not even close.
I'll have to travel to the states to see him.
I love how they rock out on this version of a great song!

I like the original version but live...'specially when James straps on that black ESP tele, this song just crushes.
"Whiskey don't make liars it just makes fools"
That line becomes more apparent me every time I see her.
James McMurtry, you and a few of your songwriting compatriots might as well write the soundtrack to my life.
Luuuuvvvv this man 💝💝💝👌👍
Im going to say this one more time, I completely forgot how good J.M.s music is with the live show simply superb 🌟
3:56 is that start of Tim Holt's solo ! Go Dad Go !!!
Love Tim's playing.He helps keep that band a well oiled machine working smoothly as well.
AINT IT FUN BEING FROM TEXAS!
near perfection.
I was lucky to see them in London with the brilliant Mac on keyboards, what a superb show they delivered!!
R I P Mac😅
“I hadn’t intended to bend the rules, but whiskey don’t make liars it just makes fools...so I didn’t mean to say it, but I meant what I said “....one of my favorite lines ever! I actually use it whenever it fits ...you’d be surprised how often. Like, say, Roseanne Barr (substitute Ambien for whiskey lol)
Nope, never gets old....never
This is gonna be a new driving song for me.
I love how he's in Europe but he tells people to stop by the club in Austin texas if theyre in the area haha
And he means it too.
If any of you are Zanzabar, just come check us out in the zulu Lounge.
I took him up on the offer...before the meme flu and global insanity
I know they would have to travel all the way across the Atlantic Ocean, but it's a small world and James knows that! 😁😁😁
One of my favorite songs by any artist. Wish I'd written this.
Too long in the waist land....Wow...completely badass done righteously....very nice ...y'all kicked ass on that jam😁👍😉🎵🎸🍺
Brilliant as always - from an awesome artist
Let's all go to Texas !
When I listen to him I want to drop acid and join the revolution.
Try this one. Dont mind the lyrics. No pun.. Great Texas sound. ruclips.net/video/7HVUF-OaL04/видео.html
I'm in!
One of the best!
Potrei ascoltarla un m ilione di volte e rabbrividirei sempre!!!JAMES RULES!!!
Whenever someone asks me what kind I music I like, I just send them a link to this.
PERFECT/FUNNY
I live in blue Grass country, and I am tired of that feel good stuff, without much substance, James is much more fulfilling

That’s music brother 🤘
@ Joseph brown
yes!
Jam out! John you continue to kick ass!!!!!!!!!!
And Utica, NY is the Wasteland
Best in the West, and everywhere else
One of the best live versions of the song. Would like to find the version of Laredo from this DVD.
Superb as always. One of the best songs from early on, tight band & great bridge. Will hit the Continental next time in Austin but only if you're there.
Keep rocking y'all. Wow!
......awesome.....
Still gets my mojo workin' ..
LOVE LOVE LOVE. The '60's Dylan of the SW/TEX & now.
Saw him new years eve in slc in the state room excellent show!!
great stuff
Amsterdam Rocks..James McMurtry 2
love to see u live
@400OTD James McMurtry LIVE is great! Saw him in Madison this March, I think. AWESOME!
Who better to take with ya to Europe than Ian Mclagen?If hes good enough for Rod the Mod and The Glimmer Twins hes good enough for a Ft Worth Texas boy!!! Yee Fuckin Haw Aint it fun bein from Texas!!!!
Worth an up.
I have been playing guitar for 35 years. Unfortunately , fell short in the song writing dept... A reasonably good guitar player, not outstanding , and a soso singer. Some guys, ( SEE ABOVE ), have it all , in spades and droves. Thank the Lord for these cats.
Another reason to go to Austin Texas!
Mr. Guitar Player knows how to play.
the comment below... " only heard as recorded" .... come on now! i have all of McMurtry's material and have been a fan for a long time, and have seen him 3 times.
i will say that when i buy any artists material i ALWAYS buy live recordings last as i too favour the studio versions. but to say that this is an "injustice", no! far from it. not sure if you have seen James Live yet, but if you have, then you will know that you are hearing a premium band and this vid shows them cutting loose!
thx!
Who is that masked man on keyboards from Rolling Stones and Rod the Mod fame who know lives in Texas?
The real American band
Dead critter and bread, he said to me.
LOVE THIS SONG!! You guys should check out the version by Nathan Davis on his posthumous "Live" album.
Hey Nancy... That comment made me smile really large. Nathan taught me everything I know about music. I met him when I was 14, and wound up recording his first studio record "Out of My Skin". Too Long In The Wasteland was always one of my favorite covers by him. His version evolved continuously from his solo days, then his time with Alibi, and then his time The Lost Cause, and finally the final version with John Henry Trinko on Nathan Davis Live... Anyway seeing someone talk about Nathan online... on a non-Nathan oriented page makes me REALLY happy. Cheers!
Cheers Grant. Nathan is with me on stage from time to time. He tells me, "Go ahead . . . shock yourself!" I close my eyes and make a conscience effort to not give a shit about perfection and care more about the lightening rod of ascension. Check out one or more of my vid's - Nancy Jones - "Whiskey" or "Big House." Nathan is my inspiration.
one of the be,
shory teller
good jammin...like to catchem in va...
In my opinion, this song should be heard only as it was recorded on the first album . This is his greatest, grittiest, darkest, earliest song. Anyone that disagrees should listen to the original. As pretty as this is, it is an injustice to the song as it was meant to be. Before smacking me down, listen to the original.
Dude, what's wrong with you, if you're even still around.
@@howardrobinson4938 I just don't see this as a "jam" song. This one song set the whole mood and feel of his music and his career. It was the title track of his first album but the record company pushed him to release "Painting By Numbers" as the first single. Anyway, TLITWL is an exceptional song exactly as recorded on the album because it sets that style. I knew James fairly well in high school - a strange character, but always nice to me. I doubt he'd find my take as insulting.
@@howardrobinson4938 Also..hmmmm...11 years ago....this could very well have been me drunk commenting. I put a stop to that many years ago.
" I didn't mean to say it, but I meant what I said. Too long in the wasteland must've gone to my head."
Virtuoso.
Texas....says it all don't it?
anybody else hear a cool pink floydy (particularly gilmoury, but watersy too) influence in this song? surprised to think that even though I do think JM defies categorization
To the 17 people that dis liked this, I bet your playlists are loaded with here today gone tomorrow flash in the pan one hook one hit wonders churned out by the corporate overlords of doubletalk, i know I'm right or else you hit the button accident or you just don't have an ear 👂 for the great stuff or your deaf, 17 dislikes what the hell?
LOL....old deadhead here, give me the live tracks everytime....like heathkit, you have to help make it and it don't work every time
anybody know what tuning he uses?
Tom deWilde Kinney I wish
You just don't get keyboard solos any more...
Bamometha I miss ian dearly he was my friend and they world 🌏 is a darker shade of gray without him in it!
for Todd Power
This song works well as my Fallout New Vegas character's theme song.
JIM
