I’ve been watching this video nearly weekly since I was 16. My cousin introduced me to the Felice brothers after interning at Saddle Creek records. I will be 30 in a few months and it still hits me the same way it did all those years ago. Wonderful group.
I love this! I've been listening to bright eyes since I was 16...am almost 35 now, I observe Conor Oberst Sunday, and since discovering the felice brothers in 2013, I have felice bros Saturdays now too.❤ I am so happy to be alive for their music.
This is beautiful. The film work really captures the moment. I just love being at moments like this, and it's great to see one of these moments caught so perfectly on camera.
The observation should not be why does one band sound like Bob Dylan but why so much contemporary music sounds so homogenous and indistinguishably boringly dire. Felice Brothers are terrific and one of literally a handful of bands doing anything interesting and are no more like Bob Dylan than Bob Dylan was like Guthrie or Guthrie was like Blind Alfred Reed. Light the candle and pass on the flame......................
You are correct about their personal pains. Simone Felice had a brain anurism (sp?) when a child and almost died. Then, about a year ago, his heart stopped. He released his first solo album recently...this album was made when recovering from open heart surgery. He almost died this second time leaving behind his 1 year old baby girl, but he didn't. His work, and all the brothers work (3 of them are blood, the others may as well be) is exceptional. They are artists; we are fortunate for that.
I got to see the Felice Brothers playing live on stage in Old London Town last night, a most brilliant concert was, after the show the boys stood out near the exit so people could say hello and thank you as they passed by, I asked the boys was it OK if I became the 5 member in their band, they James & Ian said James yes and could I play harp for them, Man as I happy,
what makes these boys and their songs so special is their transparacy and the fact everything is is out there for all to see. no hidden agenda, just honesty. plus ian felice is one of the best song writers of a generation, which is nice to have on your c.v.
@@agehernandez1853 Hell bro , nine years since I made that comment . In the mean time I have seen these boys 6 times and met Ian Felice for the first time last year, in Manchester UK . Not very talkative but very, very humble as was James whom I've met three times now .
just saw them at the Rathskeller in Madison, WI. awesome. they are so much fun without trying too hard. great music. i bought their latest album and i want to see them live again!
First heard this song at the Koko last year, then again in BRighton this summer. Pleased to find it on GBYA but didn't know they were singing it so long ago. A wonderful song and this video is amazing. How lucky were those in the audience. What a band!
Me too......... & I've been to a fuck of a lot of gigs over the last 38 years.... Wasn't the gig at "The Lumiere" though? Upstairs I think...? It's closed now sadly.
mesmorizing. No amps or mikes or even background noise. These guys look like they waltzed down the hills from some ancient mining camp. Unaware of the day or year. Love it!
Just saw the FB at Bethel Woods in NY(site of Woodstock ). They are amazing. The crowd was a mix of young and "mature." I am 60 and am now a devoted fan. They are not only mufti talented,, they are so cute.
its good to see the bros in this kind of setting--usually its in a hall with rowdy ass people talking and shouting-not giving a damn about their music--these guys are good
i assume you have the self titled and live at the arizona. the third is "the adventures of the felice brothers" i cant find it anywhere. it was sold at live shows. BUT this song is on "iantown" a cd of songs sung only by ian. i love this song soooo much.
If you listen and look back far enough, someone always sounds like someone else. These guys are awesome. Dylan is great. There doesn't need to be a mutual exclusiveness to it. Just enjoy the music.
does anyone know how I get this song in mp3 form or what albm this song is of off? I realy want this song on my mp3 player and can't find it anywhere but youtube.
@aroneous My first thought when I read your comment was- you cannot possibly have listened to them LIVE...been to a show one night when the Felice Brothers are really ON. Maybe I am wrong, perhaps you have. But if originality is in question, everything is derivitive of SOMETHING. Here, you are hearing a mix of Catskill Balladeering and slowed down Zydeco. Catskill Zydeco? Maybe I just coined a term...think so. Elvis, during the comeback special, talked about the origins of rock (gospel, etc) So?
this is an amazing video and an amazing song. is it on an album of theirs? I can't seem to find it......i must have a copy. i'm going to be getting their other stuff as soon as possible
@Armalite2010 Awesome, but I think they're originally from palenville, ny(the actual brothers). I know they lived in rosendale. Either way, representing for upstate new york. Makes me damn proud :)
@ThatContainerGuy It seems to be from the iantown album as far as i can tell. You can hear it if you click on the second video from the top on the right ------------------------------------------>

It’s priceless.
Starting with a self deprecating joke. Small crowd. Family vibes. Casual brilliance. Songwriting that can change your life. The Felice Brothers!
This live version sounds one thousand times better than the recorded version. Love it.
No matter how many times I listen to this wonderful piece, I always end up with goose-bumps and teary eyes!
omhril Me too!
I’m the opposite, i get goose eyes and teary bumps. Very nice song though
@@jamesconnick1112 And I'm the opposite of that. I get eye bumps and goose tears.
@@aaronhoyes1781 And I’m the opposite of that: I get Duck Bumps and Glassy Eyes
This song!!!!
Oh, those lucky few; to have witnessed such a wondrous moment.
I'm obsessed with this band. Everything that I love in music.
"What keeps me alive is the green in your eyes. And the sweet distant drone of your voice on the phone."
Kills me.
Will stand forever. Such a beautiful line.
And me.
These guys are great! I'm proud to say we play them on the radio station I work for.
I love the athmosphere, I love the harmony, I love the melody, I love the song.....I'm addicted
This is beautiful. The film work really captures the moment. I just love being at moments like this, and it's great to see one of these moments caught so perfectly on camera.
As amazing as the felice brothers are it's hard to believe that beautiful song was performed in front of so few

Well said, and I think that holds true for a lot of comparisons. Sounding like Dylan is a good thing.
@Colm Mac Diarmada My old man told me, well he told me a lot of things... the student should surpass the teacher.

miss the hell outta this group, love you all , thank you
I would give my pinky finger to see them live again.
Got to be one of the greatest love songs ever written and performed. Wonderful.
one of my favorite songs ever

I'm so glad a friend of mine linked this to me. No matter how many times I listen to it I end up with goosebumps and watery eyes!

Ian is the shit. Met him once in San Antonio and he was the sweetest most chill dude ever.

gives me goosebumps every single time oh man
So much love!
Oh my goodness everything about them is so wonderful!
Band, song, audience, location - far beyond show business. Great video - looking forward to their Munich concert!
this is stunning. thank you very much. the song is beautiful, it is performed beautifully.
top post, this is a great singer
Man their lives seems to be so easy when I look at them. It seems like they live the life of freedom I've always wanted.
AMAZING
This music...I want to listen to it day and night.
Saw this lot in Manchester last night... they were fantastic. If you like the albums, then try to see them live.. brilliant show !
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Love this song (and these boys) so much.
just saw them at the Rathskeller in Madison, WI. awesome. they are so much fun without trying too hard. great music. i bought their latest album and i want to see them live again!
Less is more. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks
You can feel the cool of an English summer evening as these guys tap into the source.
It would have been like having the Bros. in your back yard, absolutely incredible. And yes...they put on an incredible live show.
First heard this song at the Koko last year, then again in BRighton this summer. Pleased to find it on GBYA but didn't know they were singing it so long ago. A wonderful song and this video is amazing. How lucky were those in the audience. What a band!
Oh, quite stunning. I love this.
What a beautiful song. Wonderful.
A moment simply sublime.
This is just wonderful. So glad someone put this on TH-cam.
HOW... How have 20 people given this a thumbs down?!?!?!?
Woody Wood there are some pure wank cunts out there that don't know kwality even if it whacks them square in the chops
may they live forever :). Just great
This song took a minute to grow on me. God Bless You Amigo has got me hooked on it.
Love it!! Beautiful tune! Saw them open for Drive-By Truckers, and am now hooked. Would love to see them like this some time!!
best live show i've ever f ing seen!!! the bros rock
Me too......... & I've been to a fuck of a lot of gigs over the last 38 years.... Wasn't the gig at "The Lumiere" though? Upstairs I think...? It's closed now sadly.
Sorry, that was meant for Steve Jones on a different thread...
This is beautiful
This was surprisingly awesome.
This is absolutely extraordinary.
mesmorizing. No amps or mikes or even background noise. These guys look like they waltzed down the hills from some ancient mining camp. Unaware of the day or year. Love it!
I've always wanted to play a gig in an open natural space like that, it looks incredble
it's simply beautiful!
This quite possibly might be my favorite video on yt
First contact with the Felice Brothers here... wonderful and heartbreaking, thanks for the upload!
Friday the 9th of December 2011 at the Glasgow ABC might just be the best night ever!!!!
i saw em live...they were amazing
Thanks for capturing. This is magic.
great music thanks
this is awesome, song is beautiful, wish i had been there!
Just saw the FB at Bethel Woods in NY(site of Woodstock ). They are amazing. The crowd was a mix of young and "mature." I am 60 and am now a devoted fan. They are not only mufti talented,, they are so cute.

its good to see the bros in this kind of setting--usually its in a hall with rowdy ass people talking and shouting-not giving a damn about their music--these guys are good
Love this song!!
This is amazing
I saw the Felice Brothers within a few days of this performance at The Borderline. I love the grungy Dylanesque sound the singer has.
A++ Great Job!!
Love some Felice brothers. Fucking genius. Every word, every note.
This is why the internet was invented.
Superb.
Haha, we saw the name of the band and since "Felice" is my sister's nickname, we looked them up
They're awesome!
It would have been cool to be there. This looks like a pretty laid back show.
j'adore ce chanson parce que c'est tres beau!!!
Come to Canada!
i assume you have the self titled and live at the arizona.
the third is "the adventures of the felice brothers"
i cant find it anywhere. it was sold at live shows.
BUT
this song is on "iantown" a cd of songs sung only by ian.
i love this song soooo much.
i dont know where to get iantown. from what i hear its very hard to come by...
so if you find out please tell me! haha
it is out of this world - it is in the countryside...
If you listen and look back far enough, someone always sounds like someone else. These guys are awesome. Dylan is great. There doesn't need to be a mutual exclusiveness to it. Just enjoy the music.
This is great. Love The Felice Brothers.
Did sound for Simone Felice last year. He is ace as his new band.
Lucky you..! .that must have been pretty special.....
This really is too damn good!
This was on Skins last night, beautiful song.
Anyone know if there is a studio recorded version in existance ANYWHERE on the net?
They have a new album due out soon (cant remember when) and they are touring. Coming to Madison!!!
Best band in the country.
they're from the catskill mountains in upstate NY
Love these guys. A show with them and Justin Townes Earle is gonna be the shit !!
does anyone know how I get this song in mp3 form or what albm this song is of off? I realy want this song on my mp3 player and can't find it anywhere but youtube.

Love so hard.
this is an amazing video and an amazing song. is it on an album of theirs? I can't seem to find it......i must have a copy. i'm going to be getting their other stuff as soon as possible
I've gone to some great shows but none as great as the ones these guys have done. I just hope they hold on.
@Armalite2010 Awesome, but I think they're originally from palenville, ny(the actual brothers). I know they lived in rosendale. Either way, representing for upstate new york. Makes me damn proud :)

It's on Iantown - great album, though out of print.
@xcausticgodx just in case you still haven't solved this problem a month later, the song is off their debut album, Iantown :)
