Love these two. I drive a lot and sometimes when I am driving and listening to them it crosses my mind that if I died right then and there I'd sail straight to heaven, smiling all the way, on the beautiful and simple notes, melodies ad sounds. It's a weird and beautiful thing, only other musician who ever gave me that feeling was JG.

[bhammy]

Wow...I gotta believe that David, like Robert Johnson, sold his soul to the Devil to be able to play the guitar like he does...it's just amazing...love it

[keithk]

...can't get much more pure than this...like being in the front sweet!!! Thank you!

[boozoochavis]

Knocking a couple out of the park as is the norm for these two - one of the best live shows I ever saw was just these two playing and singing their hearts out! What a show!!

[stephreyn]

Conor Oberest is one of the most underappreciated song writers of our time...it warms my heart to see favorites cover favorites..

[TrvthfvlTreason]

He is the epitome of a great musician. I love how he just gets lost in his own guitar work always. Beautiful beautiful music

I love these guys, and in particular how they always make songs their own, regardless of who had originally done them. Come to AUSTRALIA, please!

[gitboxgal]

that was amazing....thank you so much!

[cabman]

Can't wait to see these guys live when they come to London in september. Dave Rawlings Machine supporting Old Crow Medicine Show. Anyone who likes this should check out Neil Youngs original "Cortez The Killer"

Why doesn`t my Epiphone 'Olympic' sound this good? Oh, that`s right, Dave is an extraordinary guitarist and I`m a hack. Sweet guitars those 'Real' Epiphone archtops aren`t they! Great clip. Thanks for uploading it.

@NewGods101 Thank you. I'm glad to do it. Wish I had the camera 30 years ago.

[gatogreensleeves]

LOve that guitar sound- especially on Robyn Hitchcock's song "Television."

[KyleS.]

i'll never understand how david plays up the neck with a capo on and still incorporates all those lovely ringing open strings. my head hurts just thinking about it.

[johnnyyen]

@ALINGENFELTER I glad to have done it. When you don't get paid for it, its more fun to do

[todddennehy]

Is that a copper guitar he's playing???

[JasonUmbrellabird]

GW backing vocals a bit weak I thought. Great guitar work.

[bwhitless]

Gillian, I love you but let the man rock when he wants to, please!
