I sure hope Peter Gabriel sees this. I would love to hear him say something great about Larkin Poe.
He would say "cute".
Who ? What do you say?
Love it
From what I know, he's a big jerk that never has anything nice to say about other artist. Bitter old English man of a legend.
He might send the great Paula Cole to see them.
Two singers accompanying themselves on acoustic and slide guitar create a sound that rivals a phalanx of vocalists and a truckload of electronic gear. Who says the age of miracles has passed?
That's not a miracle. It's talent and putting the work in.
Damn right. These two are nothing short of a miracle.
You're the best!! Larken Poe, is setting a new standard! Agree??
You girls made that song your own. Something that is not easy to do. AMAZINGIY GOOD!
This is how music should be - people sharing and having fun. Thank you.
What I enjoy about these covers is that I can really get the genius of both the music and lyrics, it's like the stripped down hot rod of music.
Yes!! Great craft all around. Fantastic song played fresh. These two are just amazing
Well said!
What a great way to put it! Have enjoyed every video they have released because their powerful creativity always shines through, no matter the piece of music they are performing!
Indeed! Spot on! Love Hot Rods, and music!
We all talk about the slide queen, and with good reason, but Rebecca is also a very accomplished guitar player in her own right
She makes it look easy and she sings the hell out of every song, both at the same time. True talent.
This song was a favorite of my father’s , wish he had lived long enough to hear this fantastic version by Larkin Poe !
Rebecca has a fantastic voice. Sledgehammer doesn’t exactly lend itself to a live performance by just two, but they smash it. Lyrics not exactly intended to be sung by women, either - witness the occasional smile between the sisters. Great stuff, terrific performance.
That was a happy surprise with an acoustic guitar, and really good control on the style of playing. Peter's version is almost done with the "wall of sound", but Larkin Poe made the instruments stand out as skillfully mastered. Better than the original every time. So what is their secret to awesome all around performance? Wait, don't tell me, let the whole world wonder too.
The key to the cover’s success is SPACE! The mind naturally fills in the pieces. As you tap your feet, it’s adding in percussion subconsciously. The simplicity of it all is why songs like this do so amazing. The more you try to add to get the “wall of sound”, the more you have to do to get it to work right.
@@ZacCostilla I agree here. I must also point out that this creating spaces in music was what made B.B. King a legend among the musical world. The ability to make the mind fill in the spaces created is a truly rare and wonderful gift. The genius on display here is soul soothing. Thank you
@@davebeach2343 I LOVE BB King! My mom used to put on his albums, and Aretha Franklin, and a lot of soul music, Young Rascals, Spencer Davis Group & Traffic, Beatles and more. There are times I love the “wall of sound”, but usually I prefer to let my mind naturally fill in the blanks.
It was hard as a beginning guitar player (a couple or three decades ago) because I wanted to play to fill in the spaces my brain did on its own, and could never keep up. I had to slow the 45s down to 33 1/3 to realize the notes I was hearing in my head were my own harmonies and weren’t on tue record (we had a ton of records at home from the jukebox at my parents’ restaurant, every time they’d switch them out for new singles).
What a challenge! PG is one of the greatest composer, musician and lyricist. But LP can do it
Never seen Larkin Poe but I own some of their cds. Their style, their brave approach to music is so fresh. I turned Woody Guthrie tunes into metal. Metallica becomes Mozart. Miles Davis becomes the Beatles. Love this duo.
You know when Megan’s eyes close, things are rocking!
This is a really fun rendition. I'm a big fan of what Larkin Poe is doing.
Ladies, brilliant as always...! I love these "raw" performances. Fact is, I like them more than the produced product. Please compile and publish all this brilliance: "Larkin Poe - Raw and Untouched - From the Girl's Locker Room"... :-) You get the idea, these performance are priceless...!
"DAMN IT BOYS N GIRLS"...PURE GOLD TALENT ROCKING IT HERE!
I have to rewatch what I was rewatching with my eyes open. Y’all are so freakin amazing!!!!
I love Larkin Poe. What you ladies did here is fantastic! Your arrangement is most appreciated. 🙂❤
I am looking forward to another great performance by Larkin Poe. Sledgehammer was a very popular song and has stood the test of time.
A pure love for music is so refreshing to see, and you do it so well.
Excellent,brilliant,exquisite,quality,HUGE!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait! Have always loved Peter Gabriel!! My teenage years I’d sit and wait just to see it on MTV! 💗
That was absolute fire Ladies! Nice freaking job! Nice cover! One of my favorite Peter Gabriel songs! 👏👏👏 Bravo!!
That voice!
WOW !! Pure talent !! Superb acoustic version, beautiful arrangement of guitars and vocals (from guitarist to guitarist), thrilling harmonies !! 👍🏻🤟🏻 My compliments!! Maximum respect !! 😌🙌🏻🤟🏻 A hug from Italy !! 🤗🤗💪🏻🤟🏻
Another fantastic rendition, brilliant to see you having almost much as we do listening and watching it!
For 4 minutes and 8 seconds I did not breathe .. such a difficult song! Sisters Poe are going beyond beautiful ...
Has there ever been two sisters with more talent - I think not!
Wilson sisters? Heart?
This ought to be incredible. I'm a fan of the song by Peter Gabriel and an even bigger fan of Larkin Poe therefore I am excited to see what they rendered with their immaculate creativity and skill.
Edit: I'd like to see these girls do a cover of Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer. I think Megan's slide would do justice of the horn section and Rebecca's gritty vocals would give a nice edge to the atmosphere of the song.
Sometimes, RUclips algorythm just brings you to places you never knew, thanks so much, you guys made my day, you were truly amazing
Greetings from france, you got yourself a fan, instantly ❤
VERY impressive!!! I wondered how y'all were gonna pull this off. You f'n' did it! Kudos!
Taking me back to when MTV actually played music videos. Awesome!
The relevance of the SO album from 1986 is amazing. Great version of an amazing song. Love P G
Got tickets for Nov 7 show. Excited!!! Should be good audience.
Every song on the world must be turn into Larkin Poe style! :D
Wonderfull arrangement, minimalistic and performed with masterclass control. Brilliant!
very good. I could not be here for the live stream because my grand daughter had a birthday aprty for turning 11. Family takes priority over everything including Larkin Poe. Thank God for the internet so I did not miss a beat from these great gals.
Wow! Never would have thought they'd get it this funky with that instrumentation.
Sweet lordy lordy! Yet again! Just so amazed. Thank you do much. God bless. Xx
This cover is OUT OF SIGHT!!
Never ever thought I'd hear someone do a cover of this and do it justice !! But I forgot about these 2 talented young ladies. Brilliant
Larkin Poe is beyond any doubt the best band of the world.
This is not one of my favorite songs, but the Rebel Yell and Slide Queen action are on full display here. I always love your joyful enthusiasm for the the music, Rebecca & Megan, especially your own! 👍💖🎸😎
Joyful enthusiasm describes them perfectly. It's that special ingredient.
@@frankboyd. He or she who can have work that he or she loves will never work another day in his or her life. They love their work. As you said, it's so apparent. I'm very happy for them. 👍👍👍
I never really liked this song because of the video back in the past. But this time I really really love it.this version is awesome. Sounds great.
Was it the claymation or the dancing chickens? Cuz the dancing chickens creeped me out too.
This is far better than the studio version:-

Sledgehammer is one of my favorite songs
This is a very, very cool version of Sledgehammer
The Poe do it again !
And The Larkin too🤣🖤!
Haha, thanks Thomas.
I too really enjoying these sisters. I do though like their southern country/rock side
@@garyschneider8829 I am looking forward to finally seeing the girls next year
Hi Larkin poe, so nice amazing version of p Gabriel song. I love. It's a pleasure to hear you.. From France.. 👍❤️
Wow ...& today out of leftfield we've got the some Mr Gabriel from fine ladies of Larkin Poe. Well played indeed. Never to disappoint.
I knew this would be good before I even clicked on it and I was right! This is such an awesome arrangement! Well done!
Cheers from Vancouver Island, BC!
Masterpiece 🙌 🙂.
Thank you for your voices, your guitars, your rythm and your smiles 🙂👍️🎸💚
...wanted to have my mid-day sleep since hours... I'm just pinned to my laptop ever clicking the next performance of Larkin Poe... can't stop it...
Great performance...Larkin Poe knocked it out of the Park.
One of my favorite videos. They’ve got it!
YA'LL are now starting kindred spirits Vol-3 , 2 💎s
The sheer obvious fun they have is contagious!
Just an awesome cover of my absolute favourite artist from the 80's. Love it, love it, love it. :D
That Beard acoustic guitar, and the Rickenbacker lap steel, really blend well together.
Amazing rendition as always.
Hi Larkin Poe. You two young ladies are absolutely amazing!!! Powerful vocals and crazy good guitars. Love your videos! Thank you.
This is a song I never particularly cared for in its original form, but now find I can enjoy. The best part? You always look like there is no place else you’d rather be in that moment than playing the song you are playing, whatever it is. Thanks for that.
I do find your arrangements and delivery very inspiring, but this, WOW!
This is one of my favorite songs.
Sounds Amazing!!!!👍🤠👍
He wrote it, y’all own it. 100% 😮😳😍
That was badass! One of my all time favorites
Always love your stuff..As a vocalist myself..love the bluesy vocals..and the musicianship is right there
Hope Peter hears this,cause this is awesome ur take on his song, great slide work,an long with ur great voices ladies..carry one.tks again😎😎😎😎😎
This is now my favourite version of this song (yes, including the original). Awesome.
Absolutely superb rendition.
Talented sisters are a very good thing. Thank you for the music.
Amazing, awesome, brilliant who can say something else !!
Awesome!!!! Peter would love it.
So FUN! Well done! You covered a fully orchestrated song with two strong voices and two guitars and it was powerful!
I song I never actually never came to like. I'm glad you found something in it, redemptive.
I “hear” many songs for the first time when LP plays them. Even though I’m a child in time.
Simply exilharating
It's amazing how yall keep smiling at the exact same moment without looking at one another
The girls sledgehammered this down into another exibit of rocking us good. Alchemist level of turning old good into new good.
I just noticed Megan’s tshirt is from Portland’s KGON. I listened to that station when I was growing up. Great job!
Just got my ticket to your October show in Carson City. Saw you at the MJF, keep getting better.
Wow. The wizardry of playing and singing perfectly and amazingly at the same time. What a cover!!! ❤️
Hey the slide guitar actually playing the harmonies over the vocals in the second verse is so amazing definitely did not go unnoticed 🥰😍😀👍👍
You ladies never cease to amaze!
Peter Gabriel would love this !
Does the things a cover of a popular song should do: (1) reminds us of what we loved about the original, and (2) makes us hear the song with fresh ears and hear things in it that we never noticed before. Another winner by Larkin Poe.
The sexual double entendres take on a whole new light. All the phallic symbols are fun in a whole new way as are the birds and bees flirting with the fruit cage.
Crazy good, roll on April 2022, I cant wait to see them.
Simply "wow!". No more words.
The implied "two" crack of the snare drum is so present in your version makes my shoulders and head move in time...Fabulous work here, as always. You two so rock! Regards from your shows at WaterFront some years ago in PDX.
I hope Peter Gabriel hears this. Wow.
Simply magical. The talent of These two ladies is remarkable. Their sense of harmony vocals, harmony of instruments, and their sensitivity of timing will go down in history as legendary.
Ooh yeah loved it.
That voice! Awesome cover.
I thought I prefered Peter's rendition and did. But no more. This shit blew me away you guys!😇🤩
Love the classic KGON T-shirt! That's my "number 1" on all my cars.
I’ve loved all of these. And this one is AMAZING! Always excited to see what you do with them. And Megan wearing the KGON shirt……… PLEASE come to Portland, or somewhere in Oregon………
What a great elevation through reinterpretation! Powerful for sure!
These two got IT
You guys killed it up here in Montana last night! Thanks for all you do!
Wow I needed that today ladies thank you 🙏
They are special!! Wish they would come to the Boston area more!❤❤
Flawless! Those high notes are straight 🔥!
You are two of the best things on planet earth 🌎
Guys, you've outdone yourselves. Outstanding
