I just have to clear this up. This was filmed at Kenny's Castaway for Real Magic TV. There was no audience. The chatter you hear is coming from downstairs. Those people were totally unaware of our performance that day. They are loud, though.
A TV show in Argentina used to play your song when I was a child. I loved it and tried to sing it in a totally broken English at that time. Thank you for this song and this acoustic version. It always makes me smile
I agreed. This song is written about an ongoing real event that has not yet been resolved at the time. People would feel they are at the moment of the ongoing event when listening to this song, which makes this song very special.
I can not get this song out of my head. I’m talking day & night. I wake up at 2,3,4 at night and there it is. I’m traveling the Australian desert & outback, you get lost out here and it’s certain death. it’s a constant in my head. TimelessGreat Song!!!
Beautiful. This is a once in a lifetime song for any songwriter. It is not surprising that it has been very good to you. Many of us only wish we could write a song that good.
Saludos desde Argentina. Tengo 34 años y aún sigo amando esta canción. Y jamás dejaré de escucharla y se las haré escuchar a las próximas generaciones.
This sounds even better than the original version, you guys are incredibly talented. Your guitar work is exceptional...Thank you, from all of us here at #TheOmanHouse
3 de Mayo de 2022 y en el trabajo suena esta canción. Me genera algo bueno y desencontrado a la vez. Nostalgia y placer. Que buena musica ! Gracias y saludos desde Argentina.
There are so many more technical and lengthy solos in songs out there, but somehow the one in this song just grabs me. It's one of my favorites of all time.
They had this great, huge hit. It's hard for most bands to keep up that momentum. And I'm not even sure there were even people in the bar. This was an interview with a TV station. The crowd noises may have been added.
They made up their minds And they started packing They left before the sun came up that day An exit to eternal summer slacking But where were they going without ever knowing the way? They drank up the wine And they got to talking They now had more important things to say And when the car broke down They started walking Where were they going without ever knowing the way? Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold And it's always summer They'll never get cold They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and gray You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they really don't care They wanted the highway They're happier there today, today Their children woke up And they couldn't find 'em They left before the sun came up that day They just drove off and left it all behind 'em But where were they going without ever knowing the way? Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold And it's always summer They'll never get cold They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and gray You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they really don't care They wanted the highway They're happier there today, today Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold And it's always summer They'll never get cold They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and gray You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they really don't care They wanted the highway They're happier there today, today
OMG I feel like i heard this song so long ago... It's bringing some good old times... and i'm only 19 years old... Thanks Real Magic Tv. Much love!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ferunetto cual era el programa!? No me acuerdo
@@arielsolerno4830 "El show creativo", en realidad la pasaban en propaganda del programa
2024 still on fire with this version 🙌
great tune from an underrated band. deserves a better audience.
Mark Knopfler plays at small venues. Some musicians like the that.
They are a great band. More people need to support them .
I am 62, one of my favorite songs ever. Especially this version..
i never get bored of this song.. one of the bestest song in my life!!
Denny Ordinary Me too,even if I learned only today,of the sad story behind the song...
I believe personally that this is one of the greatest songs ever written.
"personally"??? Lol
I agreed. This song is written about an ongoing real event that has not yet been resolved at the time. People would feel they are at the moment of the ongoing event when listening to this song, which makes this song very special.
Stripping out the bass, drums, and guitar effects leave the core essence of the song.
It showcases its the pure beauty.
You could not of said it better bro!! This version brought out the pure heart of this song wow I don't like the radio version anymore...
Damn they can jam!
I can not get this song out of my head. I’m talking day & night. I wake up at 2,3,4 at night and there it is. I’m traveling the Australian desert & outback, you get lost out here and it’s certain death. it’s a constant in my head.
TimelessGreat Song!!!
Beautiful.
This is a once in a lifetime song for any songwriter.
It is not surprising that it has been very good to you.
Many of us only wish we could write a song that good.
I dig it, more every year ✨
I really thought this group would be legendary. Breaks my heart to see them perform in such a venue...
They are legendary. And the fact that legends humble themselves and play for us folks makes them even more so.
It doesn't matter, they got to the top anyway.
No soporto a la gente que no sabe apreciar una canción debastadora (ESPECTACULAR!!!)I love this song
The bands and artists that are truly talented and real are ones like this that can sit down with 2 acoustics and rock the shit out of it
Probably one of the greatest songs ever made...beautiful.
What a fantastic version of a true classic.
I have been loving this song for about 15 years now.
One of my all time 90s happy place bands to go to ❤

This gem is so underrated. It´s been one of my favorite songs since it first came out. Everything with it just feels right.
You deserved all the money and fame earned with this song!!!!!!! It's always a pleasure to be here to hear you again.
Very good singing and very good guitar solo. Timeless song.

Wow... this sounds just as good if not better than the original. Man they're good.
Great song and performance. After so many years they still rock!! 🎸
Muy buena canción aun conservo ese disco. From Argentina, thank you....
I love Fastball! Tony, Miles, Joey, they were great last night in New Braunfels! They brought down the house with The Way!
There are so many more technical and lengthy solos in songs out there, but somehow the one in this song just grabs me. It's one of my favorites of all time.
I have seen "Fastball" perform several times in Rochester, NY. They always put on a great show. Thanks guys !!
Our pleasure!
As a toddler, the only way I could fall back to sleep after a nightmare was for my dad to play this song on his cassette player
Good gosh, how many nightmares did you have?
Great memory.
One of the best songs ever❤
Great song, great version!
I love this song
What a masterpiece!
One of the most nostalgic tunes. Thanks for the upload.

Mi juventud en esta cancion segunda mitad de los 90s hasta el momento mi mejor epoca........Fastball from Texas USA.......
I love it
This song is really important for me. because it's emotional and it reminds me of old memories
Love this song...had the privilege of seeing them live in a very small venue in the late 90's. Great performance ♡♡

The real, magic, endless sound.. Thank you!! ^^
seriously awesome...
Absolutely love this song! So sad the story behind it. Thank you guys!
Seriously underrated band. It's hard for anyone from the late 90s to get respect, but hopefully that will change over time.
Replying to a 13 year old comment just for shits and giggles. I wonder if you are still out there?!!😎
Charisma
Buen clásico de los 90's...buena version acústica...great 90's hit...nice acoustic version.
el cantante es un excelente musico, toca la guitarra, bajo y teclados... ah y ademas canta chido!
They had this great, huge hit. It's hard for most bands to keep up that momentum. And I'm not even sure there were even people in the bar. This was an interview with a TV station. The crowd noises may have been added.
Love this. Great song and version guys, thanks!
Lovely memories of this song from the late 90s.
They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down
They started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today
Their children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today
I love it!...sweet sound of those acoustic guitars...real nice performance
