I was lucky enough be there for this! It was awesome!! Steve stayed to meet the fans and sign stuff. I have been listening to him since I was a kid bucking bales in the field. I don't get star struck but I will never forget that day! Steve Earle is the man!!
Just because people do not act as you would does not mean that they don't appreciate the music. In some venues, quiet attention to an artist is more appropriate. This isn't a rock show, it is an in-store appearance at an independent record store, and I expect these folks are pretty serious music fans.
When Steve does eventually pass on and our children's children come to us and ask us who Steve Earl was, I think every grandparent should play this video for them. This right here was the true Steve Earl. Just a man, his voice and a mandolin. This rendition did more for me than the original with all the bells and whistles. I've always known Steve was a master musician, I just never realized he was a modern Mozart.
Thank you Steve, for autographing my acoustic when you played at music-fest on Vancouver Island in 2002( I think) Still a huge fan, wishing you good health. Brilliant.
Wow -- "Steve" You are the man.....I always enjoy this one and the dance is awesooooonl......This is one of the best.......George-III from Mississippi.....
im from Houston..Steve lived here awhile..love the story he tells about tryin to buy dope while drivin his old mans crown victoria(cop car)..he didnt have much luck
Hi Mandotwang. Just incase you are interested? It's not a normal one piece thumbpick. It's a Bumblebee pick. Basically it's like a plectrum with a free floating thumb strap so you can adjust the angle and depth of the pick. Steve seems to use them on everything? They are not cheap, but they are a good bit of kit.
brillant brillant one man show , it must be hard when the crowd know and love the piece ,but hardly show any emotion but olve it at the end well done , there to watch the master
Also, I expect these are hardcore music lovers, and most probably know his music well. As much as I love Steve, having seen him many times and having heard many versions of the song, I would much rather hear him do new music than Copperhead Road.
Lol! Steve absolutely hates doing this song! He told me so himself. It just pisses him off when someone yells "Copperhead Road!" I've seen him chew people's asses for yelling it out at shows. It is a damn fine song though...

Love the hard core rock original cut, but this is just so damn pure!
The raw sound is absolutely perfect!
This is pure and perfect.
Dam, he still sounds great... love the song.

I reckon there just in awe. They probably love this song like we all do!

He only gets better with time!
He's playing with a thumbpick, unusual. I always loved the grove of this tune.

It is a short show at a record store during the day. I wouldn't expect the same energy as a regular show... but I think they are loving it.

Why the past tense? Steve Earle is still alive and touring!
