I don't know how he plays the guitar with that kind of accuracy, waving it around like that, never looking at the fretboard or the strings, and holding it about a foot away from his body. A beautiful performance of a beautiful song.
I can't recommend them highly enough. I've loved their music for years and finally got to see them in Santa Barbara CA in August at the Lobero Theatre. Just incredible live performers - they were so warm, funny, and really made an effort to connect with the audience. It didn't hurt that much of the audience were family and friends since they are local boys who grew up just down the freeway. A truly enjoyable experience.
An old English Folk song from 1974, hahaha!! I love Pink Floyd and I was sure that was John Paul White from the little thumbnail pic, love the Milk Carton Kids & the merch talk was hilarious 😂
They're altogether, all together, original and delightful. Still...some hear echoes of Simon and Garfunkel, others hear a trace of the Everly Brothers - I'm thinking the Smothers Brothers :-).
Their cover of Wish You Were Here is on the same level as Jimi Hendrix cover of Dylan’s Season Of The Witch, they both took a song which they obviously respected and took it in an entirely different direction.
Please please... does anyone has this version without the conversation... Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the humor tremendously, but I want to "steal" it in mp3 to listen to it forever... Anyone, anyone???
The fact they chose this song demonstrate impeccable taste. Understanding why they chose that delivery method of the song means that you are a MIlk Carton Kids fan.... it’s what they do!
Hmmm, you're entitled to your opinion, as shallow as it is. I suspect that if you're going to trash something though, you should perhaps explaining your rationalization. Since you didn't though, I'll just write your opinion off as a boneheaded statement. As for me, I believe it honors a great band, with a incredible interpretation and arrangement. Well done!!!

By far, the greatest band Ive discovered for myself, in a very, very long time...
yih!!!
This repaired a badly broken day and I am so grateful.
I never, EVER, get tired of listening to these guys.
Same
Just a beautiful cover of the song. I am a Folk and Bluegrass singer growing up in the 50's and 60's and this is just wonderful stuff.
I never thought I’d find a version I enjoyed more than the original - I just did
Never
Wow!!! Love these Guys so Much! Like a Breath Of Fresh air!!!
Any person who appreciates these guys has awesome taste. Thanks Sean 😎
Great harmony ! Amazing flatpicking, Kenneth ! Good to hear persistent humor by Joey !
Very cool. Great musicians and pretty funny fellows as well!
the best cover of wish you were here i've ever seen
If you're going to cover this song, you'd better knock it out of the park. They did just that.
The bridge into the last verse, oh my!
I need to see these guys live. A new favorite 🖤
Me too!!!!!
You must, they're great!

Touché !❤
Absolutely brilliant, the humor and the music.
late to the show..the world knew i needed to smile and laugh so i found something that made my soul smile xx thank you so much
Just seeing this now. Jerry Douglass and friends sitting in with them, covering Floyd... Pretty special!
Stunning version, come to Dublin when the air is all clean again please......
Absolutely beautiful😊❤️🎶😊❤️🎶
All this and John Paul White, too? Fabulous!!
Crying laughing at the stage banter then touched deeply by their homage to Pink Floyd's homage to Syd Barrett
epic bants too. Love these guys.

Fast forward to 6:00 if you wanna listen some great music.
such a unique version, it moves me everytime
Glad to see these guys are finally getting some serious recognition.
"These peoples' kids are grown".... So funny because it is so..
literally brings tears to my eyes
Agree. Is the Smothers Brothers routine normal for them? Entertaining. The guitar work always makes me think of Dave Rawlings.
Would I love to hear these guys sing Scarborough fair or For Emily, or Annie's song.
Just Brilliant........
OUTSTANDING
FUNNIY AND TALENTED AF!
6:04 music
They're altogether, all together, original and delightful. Still...some hear echoes of Simon and Garfunkel, others hear a trace of the Everly Brothers - I'm thinking the Smothers Brothers :-).
wow.... that was so so good
If the music doesn't make it Joey can be a stand-up comedy! But, their music is outstanding!
Do I see within the stage band in the background of this video footage = Jerry Douglas ??? Greatest Dobro player on the planet?! GBjj
~Amazing magic!
Good stuff x
The actual song starts at around 6:00.
This is really good, especially for a phone camera [i suspect].
Old Floyd would be proud boys, right proud.
Nice work ! (love the rap !)
the dog bowl!
Was this at the Birchmere? If it was, I was there.. cool !!
Their cover of Wish You Were Here is on the same level as Jimi Hendrix cover of Dylan’s Season Of The Witch, they both took a song which they obviously respected and took it in an entirely different direction.
Smothers Brothers meets Simon and Garfunkel. Music starts 6 minutes in it.
Eastman D thank you!
You forgot Welch/Rawlings, but otherwise I agree.
I just commented to my friend on line about the similarity to the smothers Bros.with the comedy included
Starts at 6 minutes
Thanks ! I was almost ready to go to another thing
🤦
I thought I couldn’t feel anymore…😭
Who is the backing band?
Is that Jerry Douglas and Dave Swarbrick in the band?
Yes, this was actually from a Trans Atlantic Sessions Live Tour and the Milk Carton Kids and John Paul White were some of their guest performers.
Can you imagine Swarbrick playing something that NPR-friendly? Aly Bain, I'd assume.
@@jonkiparsky7369 it's Aly
Song should be called "Wish you would play the song already". Starts at 6:06 folks.😮
A highlight of any Milk Carton Kids show is the stage banter that just kills me and is so worth the wait to the song.
@@reggiekenner1527 I agree. The banter is hilarious.
5:45
🤣👏❤️
Please please... does anyone has this version without the conversation... Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the humor tremendously, but I want to "steal" it in mp3 to listen to it forever...
Anyone, anyone???
Spotify
Beware of any putdown humor. It grows; it reflects... remember Sonny and Cher
Sonny and Cher were madly in love to their dying days
Welp, I can never hear another cover of this song now….
They sound like the everly Brothers
Bahahahaha!!!
Floyd would be pleased.
Not Roger Waters.. he's a bit weird
Tickled pink!
Ask biden.
Why do people put up phone camera fuzzy junk like this? Do they really think this is worth looking at?
Worth listening to. Close your eyes if it offends.
I'd like to thank the guy who put up this particular piece of phone camera junk. I'd have never heard this otherwise, and it was beautiful.
Tonetwisters it’s great.. if you can’t be there
Great listening ...
I enjoyed it
This must be the worst cover ever of wish you were here.
I thought it was pretty good!
Ian Pratt the harmonies are tight and sound beautiful, their voices blend very nicely!

This comment proofs that you sir have no musical taste and knowledge. Calling this perfect rendition of a classic „worst ever“ is just stupid.
