Hoo-boy… Heard every song the band played in the past, feels like a hazy dream-come-true to hear them again! Tone of the song was definitely more tempered, the brash high-strung arrogance of youth clearly missing from the song, which just shows how far every single one of these people have come in their own lives, and just how much they’ve matured. It’s beautiful to see, and I appreciate Gems for showing off such treasures.
I just love how in every GemsOnVHS Video theres always this little part before the actual song where the artists just tell something about themselves or the song. The way Ben says "very bad night", damn thats just so raw and full of life. This channel always sparks joy.
Wow. Yall this is amazing. So much a dream to see these folks together. Don't need that time machine after all. Thanks all who made this happen. It made an old man happy.❤
Barefoot Surrender reminds me of the time I was Barefoot, black out drunk, & got arrested by RCMP... they drew their guns and I surrendered ... Drinkin only brings you pain. Thnx for music & I love this channel @gemsonvhs
Been following Ben for over 15 years, through every band he’s been in, from Chris and Ben to blackheart rebellion to Barefoot to SpitShine, to teardrop trio and Lost Dog. I’m so proud of how far he’s come, and I can say without a shred of doubt Ben Tod is the greatest living songwriter on this continent, maybe even the world
I got to work for my best friend for the last year of his life (battling cancer) and I introduced him to Lost dog, Jason Dea west, Nick Hans. But out favorite was barefoot. This song, sky was burning red, and raven were our favorites… any way thanks, it littlest bring a tear to my eye thinking about it, made a lot of good memories turning wrenches for him listening to these guys and his old story’s from when he was my age. Thanks and keep up the amazing work
Very moved thinking about my time on the road and how the years passed. I’ll carry this song and Sky Burnin’ Red in my heart forever. Thank you guys!!!
I played that show on New Years Even In Bend, OR. It was Larry and His Flask, my band Ether Circus, and Barefoot Surrender. Jason pissed on our van and gave me a ripped in half dollar bill to make it up to us. I had no idea that was their last show until just now, watching this video.
I remember wondering into johnny bs in medford oregon and seeing these guys play on a random weeknight and being super impressed. They hung around for awhile and i got to see them play a few more times in 2011 before they split. Getting older is weird but so awesome to see them go on and continue to grow and get bigger.
Haha,HELL YEAH! This is glorious!I've worn out the RUclips Barefoot Surrender album, like on repeat, for many a night at work. Ima scream along to this on my way to work today. Thanks for doing what you do y'all! 💯🖤🥂🖤🖤🖤
I'm an Oregon local, and the New Years Eve Party's in Bend hosted by Larry and His Flask and Willy Tea Taylor are notorious for being quite the show. His "Bend, Oregon, very bad night" statement tells volumes...
I can't even describe how happy I to see them back together. The first time I saw Lost Dog they ended the show with Forgott My Name and it took me ages to deep dive and find it. That show was the best I've ever been to. I'm sure they remember it because the crowd and Ben were ready to beat the owner to a pulp. Seeing them play together again after everything life threw at em, shows how strong they are and how music binds us. Would love to see em cut that track, but regardless just keep the good times coming!
@@GemsOnVHS only reason I think he might is he wasn't really drinking that night. Just a bad owner/planer double booking a single venue and underestimating the number of concert goers.
I'm reminded of the old Sylvia cartoon by Nicole Hollander, where a TV character is telling his love goodbye, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." "Break his knees," Sylvia advises.
What happened at the Bend show?? I didnt catch it but the bend punks were obsessed with yall for a hot minute. Barefoot surrender was on the stereo at like every party we had and half the scene was covering your songs lol

@@kool6975 Exactly
The talent in that room is jst under rated
I’ve listened to all the barefoot surrender and spit shine stuff and it’s awesome seeing them back together again
Man is this a crazy moment never thought I'd hear this band again. Definitely going back on repeat now
so glad to see these guys back together. you guys at Gems are doing gods work. this is the channel that got me into lost dog and so many others.
The best music channel on RUclips, no competition! I can't even count all the great artists/ bands I've found because of their channel! 👌
Barefoot Surrender coming back for a little tour and adding some in between songs like O'Dea and Goodbye Brother would be amazing.
Never heard goodbye brother, what album is that on?
@@mischief.brewed that's from intuitive compass, Jason's band and what is the counter part of O'Dea from Ben
A beautiful moment--feels mature, sad, happy, all at once.
we need more Barefoot Surrender in the world

very true, good observation. we get older, we get mellow, we learn!
I am from India. I will positively visit Ben Tod and Jason Dea personally. I love your music a lot. It makes me feel stable.
I just love how in every GemsOnVHS Video theres always this little part before the actual song where the artists just tell something about themselves or the song. The way Ben says "very bad night", damn thats just so raw and full of life. This channel always sparks joy.
glad you get it bud. i love those parts too. tell a bit of the story.
a NEW barefoot surrender video? Shit I was having a really really bad day until now. Thanks guys.
Makes me happy seeing them all play together again :,)
Wow. Yall this is amazing. So much a dream to see these folks together. Don't need that time machine after all. Thanks all who made this happen. It made an old man happy.❤
Fucking wild to see a new barefoot surrender video in 2023- what a day. Just missing Nora, I think?
indeed missing nora
@@GemsOnVHS Where is nora !
watching that old recording of them in Colorado then going to see this new one is just crazy. where'd all the time go? RIP Nicholas Ridout
Barefoot Surrender reminds me of the time I was Barefoot, black out drunk, & got arrested by RCMP... they drew their guns and I surrendered ... Drinkin only brings you pain. Thnx for music & I love this channel @gemsonvhs
Goosebumps. So cool to hear a live barefoot surrender song in 2023!
easily my favorite barefoot song. Thanks Anthony and everyone!
Absolutely amazing, the fact that they're all together and so different from who they used to be, yet still close is incredible.

Cool. But Jason writes good songs like this this one lol
@@blakemacintyre3080 oh wow an “um acktualy” guy, I didn’t know y’all existed except as the butt of jokes
@@BobLoblongEsq I'm comfortable with that
I'm a punk, but I think 40's 50's hillbilly is King...... This is Fukin Gold

Nearly brought a tear to my eye seeing and hearing this. Beautiful.
Hell yes!! The most talented group of tramps out there.
I jam gems on vhs when I cut firewood and camp on my bus. Can't wait till fall season is here.
This is Fucking amazing y’all!! Hope you guys did a few more songs. Looking forward to it 🎉

That's a lot of talent in that group some of my favorite
That was absolutely awesome! What a great song, what a great band! Thanks to all involved in this, really a breath of fresh air.
The way Ben’s voice comes through when they sing “I’m the gal that made you strong” is magic
Hey. There they are. What a treat. That was the last thing I thought I'd see this evening.
Or ever again!
Thanks, Anthony. Thanks, Barefoot Surrender.

Needed to hear ya Mr. West.GOD BLESS YOU ALL ! MAY YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND CIRCLE REMAIN UNBROKEN.🎉
I'm so happy I love all y'all..... Please do a small tour...
It's so wholesome to see ya'll making music under barefoot surrender again.

he might not remember it, sounds like an average ldsb show back then lol

definitely did a double take when the name of this video popped up. so glad this gets to exist.
Awesome..! Never thought I’d get to see Barefoot Surrender live. Will any shows be played in Tx..!?!
✌🏽
Or do they still got warrants out here..!😅
What happened at the Bend show?? I didnt catch it but the bend punks were obsessed with yall for a hot minute. Barefoot surrender was on the stereo at like every party we had and half the scene was covering your songs lol
Great video Anthony and Gems. We need a new album of some sort. Or a small EP album. Keep up the great music 🎵
I met Ben and Jason back in 2010 they were busking in Ashland OR. good times! love me some barefoot!
So great! Thank You all for this
Classic. So glad to hear it on Gems. Faith no more or forgot my name next please
This is the shit that led me to hop trains and ride bikes across the country a whole lifetime ago… that was cool to see as who I am now
Now that is a crew!
They’re getting back together??? NO WAY! I saw this whole crew in Chicago, but unfortunately not together. So awesome!
i wouldnt say getting back together, but this exists lol
Beautiful, just beautiful!!
I’ve been waiting for this for so long
Lovely hearing them together, great sound!

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well oh, my mama, she says to me
Son I've only done my best
Spread your wings for now you are free
It's time for your mama to rest
It's time for your mama to rest
[Verse 2]
And oh, my lady, she says to me
I'm no longer yours to claim
It breaks my heart that you're leavin again
I'm gonna try not to complain
I'm gonna try not to complain
[Verse 3]
But I am no one to tie to the faith that you provide
Close your eyes and I'll be on my weary way
Ain't nothin you can say to make your poor boy stay
I'm goin' back to the San Francisco bay
Back to the San Francisco bay
[Chorus]
Well, she speaks again now softly
"I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Two good eyes, you still cannot see
I'm the gal who made you strong"
I'm the gal who made you strong
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
I remember my drunken daddy, he said to me
You know your mama will never confess
And in your eyes there's so much of me
Your papa is runnin out of breath
Your papa is runnin out of breath
[Verse 5]
And oh my sister, she says to me
"When will you ever change?
Breaks my heart that you're drinking again
Drinking only brings you pain"
Drinking only brings you pain
[Verse 6]
But I am no one to tie to the faith that you provide
Close your eyes and I'll be on my weary way
Ain't nothin you can say to make your poor boy stay
I'm goin' back to the San Francisco bay
Going back to the San Francisco bay
[Chorus]
Well, she speaks again now softly
"I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Two good eyes, you still cannot see
I'm the gal who made you strong"
I'm the gal who made you strong
