LYRICS:
You met her there, on a New York City stair
You were throwing up on your shoes
Tryin' to write the great book, well it really had you shook
With a bad case of wintertime blues
So you dragged her down to the ragged side of town
Shared a taxi to carry her home
Then she left her handkerchief there beside you on the seat
As if to emphasize that you were all alone
It smelled like springtime and you were just a boy
And all the lilacs in Ohio
All the lilacs in Ohio, there ya go
In the city streets and the dirty winter snow
All the lilacs in Ohio - hio
She is the love story you speak of
When you talk to Sam at the bar
But it's in the details your story often fails
Yeah, close, but no cigar
And you might see your own ass in a double whiskey glass
But you'll never erase her smile
And you'll never write it down, never find her in this town
Of phantom dreams and fingernail files
It was springtime, and you were just a boy
And all the lilacs in Ohio
All the lilacs in Ohio, there ya go
In city streets and the dirty winter snow
All the lilacs in Ohio - hio
So you pin her handkerchief to clean white linen sheets
And you unmake your bed and crawl in
You imagine her there and you're tangled in her hair
And she smells like flowers again
And it's springtime, and you were just a boy
All the lilacs in Ohio
All the lilacs in Ohio, there ya go
In the city streets and the dirty winter snow
All the lilacs in Ohio - hio

The smile that lights up John's face as Jerry starts to play...
Me too
I mean, if he cared about other people's health, why wasn't he wearing a mask? But the real question is, after a year why still wear masks? The science right, gotta follow the science, this video would have been perfect with no masks
@@choppytde6030 This isn't a Fux News thread
Yep,these CATS are the SH!T..
THAT'S ALL ..
GREATNESS....🤔😎
I kid you not...I’ve had this tune on repeat for the last two hours, but I could take eight hours more...absolutely brilliant...’n great lyrics as well...what fine artists sound like when laced together ❤️
It is truly beautiful. I've been at a few of his live shows; my favorite was the Strawberry Music Festival 🍓 up near Yosemite Valley in California.
I chatted with him after the show; he's a mellow, kind-hearted, and witty gentleman.
No one writes like John Hiatt. Will always be my favorite songwriter.
John Hiatt is like a vintage wine... just gets better with age!
You just reminded me to pour another glass - thanks, friend!
All too often these days musicians, even the technically proficient, simply go through the motions. No joy, no feel, no love for the greatest gift given to our species. Yet John is enjoying every moment here. Graceful and kind is his tone, with grit and an intangible definition of cadence and sound us mere mortals count only hope to conjure. Beautiful.
Jerry Douglas on the dobro is amazing as is his band. And John Hiatt just keeps writing/singing/playing incredibly beautiful music abut the American experience.
I was sitting 10 feet from Jerry and his band in Ann Arbor Michigan a few years back. Best show of my life. Even got to chat for a spell afterwards.
@@235buz Very nice moment. Do you play?
I watch RUclips videos all of the time. Can't remember enjoying one more than this in a long time. Their joy just spills over. Loved their faces when they knew that they had nailed it.
I'm 70 years old, some how..having survived a living a life in NYC's lower East side (aka East Village) many many moons ago (60's). I could have been the subject of this tune. So, I haven't purchased any music in some time. I did this, yesterday. Great jobs guys!!
Oh dear lordy, no one anywhere any genre is close, John is the top of the pyramid.. Im all over the board at 65, been playing my whole life, from folk to punk and all of the great bands of my youth. John is what every musician aspires to be. Plus he kills live. I'm an old deadhead soooo there u go
For the last 40 years every album is better than the last one, I haven't heard a bad album from John Hiatt yet. His songs are stories of his life & he makes no excuses.
What a treasure.
I would have to respectfully disagree. I'm a fan of Hiatt and have all his albums, but he is very similar to Neil Young where he has many duff albums amongst the great ones.
Beautiful. 🌻🕊😍❤❤👍Thank you John Hiatt and Jerry Douglas.
As with John Prine this John is also an American Treasure...
First time I ever saw John Prine he had an opening act guess who? John Hiatt.
Prine had an accompanist on second acoustic guitar; Hiatt all he had was hisself well and his own guitar & a small electric piano, too. Sparse stage setting but a feast of musical entertainment. Thanksgiving eve 1985.
@@gottadomor7438 John opened for Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, first time I saw him. He had an actual _acoustic_ piano, that time. Late 70s.
I was just about to type the same. They each make me feel like a human being again.
Amen!
"You might see your ass in a double whiskey glass" - classic Hiatt!
What a great group of Musicians ! Refreshing !
Many years ago, a few people and I were talking to John after a show at McCabes. The guy standing next to me asked John, "When are you going to record All the Lilacs in Ohio?" John looked at him blankly and said, "I've never heard of that. I don't think it's one of mine." I laughed (I'd known John for a while) and said, "John, I have a tape of you singing it!" He just shrugged and said, "Well I don't remember it." I guess when you've written as many songs as he has, you forget a few. He must have come across an old demo or something and relearned the song. I'm glad, because it's one of my old favorites.
Thanks guys!
Gerry Douglas!!!! WTF, amazing. Thanks to you both,and the young lads in the band
We love Jerry Douglas 💜🌻💐
What a wonderful song; absolutely brilliant
Like the live recording and new treatment ... John is one of the truest and most awesome songwriters around
This is one treat in lockdown - gonna put on a few of his albums tonight and enjoy ✅
Heard this band's song in a small restaurant... it was played by the owner in his phone, a handsome old man.. I loved the beat so went and asked the song name.. he wrote it for me with shaky hands in a small piece of paper and gave it to me with a smile.❤
Thats so sweet. A song in itself. ❤
This is such a sweet story! Thank you for sharing❤
That look they all have of sharing the collaborative experience of something special says it all. Smiles of satisfaction in partaking of real team effort. It's one of the best feelings to have.
Wow! Cannot wait for this one... John Hiatt an American Treasure.., with the great Jerry Douglas!
My goodness, is this not the greatest song. I love this video. Just to watch the smiles between them is worth it but what a beautiful song!!!
Jerry's from my hometown leavittsburg Ohio.. best dobro player ever.
Anytime Jerry Douglas shows up the bar rises. It's not just his skills but his licks are always so tasty and spot on!
I'd say he has a serious claim to the title.
@@professornuke7562 Very serious!😊
Beautiful smile to kick this off John Hiatt.
soo gooddd....man!
Now that my dad lies on his deathbed, I realize there are three most unusual musicians out there that will forever connect me to him, what he is and always will be to me: Cooder, Landreth, and Hiatt. Thank you John. And btw., we are Swiss, so you can see how far their music transcends ...
That guitar solo is killer! Great song.
Right, you are! Very creative; what was that, anyway? It was like he was playing emotional mapping points, and each just happened to be made out of notes. Not a melody in the conventional sense, but a sonic thrill ride that fits perfectly!
Wow, in the iconic RCA Studios on Music Row! You can surely hear the vibe of all those gone-by musical greats looking over the shoulders of these world class musicians.
Just did the RCA studio B tour today and sat in that room. What a trip to watch this video today. Fantastic song and super performance.
I just love this. Thank you.
Can't. Stop. Listening to this...
Thanks for being a great fan. Your warm support will always be appreciated with much love♥️♥️♥️. Please kindly send a mail for more conversation via john.hiattfans@gmail.com
Gorgeous! Thank you.
@John Hiatt 🎵 I'm 60 but I've only recently been turned onto your music through WNRN in Virginia. I'm becoming one of your die-hard fans and spreading the word about you.
Jerry Douglas could make any music track a million seller. Hiatt is a songwriter's songwriter.
We will always love John and Jerry and how wonderful to hear them playing together!
Thanks for being a great fan. Your warm support will always be appreciated with much love♥️♥️♥️. Please kindly send a mail for more conversation via john.hiattfans@gmail.com
an absolutely exemplary songwriter accompanied by one of the best dobro players I have heard
Right on, John!
What a great combination. John Hiatt and Jerry Douglas. Inspired!
Seeing John Hiatt with a mask sends shivers down my spine. Stay safe John. I just couldn't bear it.
Sends a message to me too; not a same as you tho. Hiatt's constitution needs no coverup. And nor the others in that room either ... Meaning no offense to all others here, we can agree to disagree while still enjoying an American musical treasure's music.
@@gottadomor7438
"no offense to all others here"
Yet you brought it up!
@@scottcampbell7535 don't be that guy
Vaccinate!!!
@@hankarnold3549 hahahahah, yes, please do
So, its the studio andd all its history and vibe...great song, great musicians in an epic recording venue...
You've just got to love how they all break out into smiles when the dobro starts up! The sound guy's wearing masks stamps this masterpiece during this terrible worldwide pandemic. Beautiful music will outlive us all. Bravo Johnny and the band.
The Man never disappoints - BRAVO!
Beautiful John you have helped my soul for years even more so this past winter and now even more with this boquet of beautiful scented lilacs and dreams
This is just one of the most phenomenal performances of a great song I've ever heard. I could listen to it about 20x in a row. We don't deserve John Hiatt!
(Or Jerry Douglas...)
Oh, and no click track or headphones and still solid as a metronome
It is worth it just to see the expressions of satisfaction in the faces of all those great musicians when the song ends. They enjoyed it and do did I.
All of the musicians knew they just finished a brilliant performance and especially how perfectly timed the ending was.
A great song and a joy to watch these great musicians. Thank you.
Always a joy to hear you John! My all time favourite artist and can't wait to see you live again soon. Stay safe.
Thanks for being a great fan. Your warm support will always be appreciated with much love♥️♥️♥️. Please kindly send a mail for more conversation via john.hiattfans@gmail.com
@@johnhiatt1252 halo I like yours songs for example alone in the dark she is beautiful you could sing this song in Italian but not only this but also your other songs for example that of the last album you could try to sing it in Italian or you could sing one of your blues songs in Italian in my opinion would you be good
Great song! No one sounds like Hiatt - Hope to see him live again.

Seen them the other night in Cincinnati, Ohio. Just an awesome show! You could see Jerry feeding off his fellow musicians as a plant receives nourishment from the sun.
I miss going to a John Hiatt consert here in Sweden, it’s been many years now but the memories never fades. Stay safe 🇸🇪🙏
What a joy to watch and listen...
John your the Mann, keeps amasing me and i have been with him the last 30 years and keeps rolling on

I have to discipline myself to stay on slide guitar, Hiatt and Douglass together are magic.

If you’re a dobro player, you’ll agree that Jerry’s intro is just incredible.
