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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.❤
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.
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 ✅
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.
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, 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.
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
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.
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.
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!

@@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
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...)
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.
Great to see John playing again; a wonderful new version of a great song! Sounds great! Looking forward to the new album release. Greetings from Holland :-)
Just up to one minute and already hooked ... this is one of the Greatest most underestimated songwriters and guitarplayers of all time IMHO. Please be calling him "Master John" from now on, thank you kindly.

@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.
Bought the vinyl, it's on my turntable non stop. Thanks John, Jerry, the band. I am blown away. Perfect album for these times. We need more smiles. Love from Holland.
Well, 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 drank 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 Smelled like springtime when you were just a boy And all the lilacs in Ohio All the lilacs in Ohio, there ya go In the city streets in the dirty winter snow All the lilacs in Ohio-hio Well, 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 You might see your own ass in a double whiskey glass But you cannot 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 in 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 are 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 Songwriters: John Hiatt

As with John Prine this John is also an American Treasure...

@@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!
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

GREATNESS....🤔😎
John Hiatt is like a vintage wine... just gets better with age!

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.

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!😊
We love Jerry Douglas 💜🌻💐

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.

an absolutely exemplary songwriter accompanied by one of the best dobro players I have heard
Gerry Douglas!!!! WTF, amazing. Thanks to you both,and the young lads in the band
Thanks guys!
Beautiful smile to kick this off John Hiatt.
"You might see your ass in a double whiskey glass" - classic Hiatt!
Seeing John Hiatt with a mask sends shivers down my spine. Stay safe John. I just couldn't bear it.

What a great combination. John Hiatt and Jerry Douglas. Inspired!
I miss going to a John Hiatt consert here in Sweden, it’s been many years now but the memories never fades. Stay safe 🇸🇪🙏
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.
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.

Two musical legends!
Very excited as always for new Hiatt music!
Great song! Looking forward to the album release.
This is a glorious song!
Jerry Douglas and John Hiatt. Ethylene, a fool would ask for more.

I LOOOVE this!! You guys all sound amazing! 🤩
This must be the day for new CDs, first Alan Doyle, Greg Keelor, now John Hiatt, all ordered! THANKS!
Well, 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 drank 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
Smelled like springtime when you were just a boy
And all the lilacs in Ohio
All the lilacs in Ohio, there ya go
In the city streets in the dirty winter snow
All the lilacs in Ohio-hio
Well, 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
You might see your own ass in a double whiskey glass
But you cannot 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 in 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 are 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
Songwriters: John Hiatt
Great lyrics, great tune!!
So awesome! Yup, about sums this up😍
Buy this, it'll make you feel good....guaranteed.
