- Benjamin Tod and Ashley Mae from Lost Dog Street Band Playing the Townes Van Zandt song "Waiting Around To Die" on Pearl St. in Boulder, Colorado in the summer of 2014.
I can’t even imagine walking down the street and hearing this. I’d drop everything and run to find these guys!
If I knew they were playing in the street, I would go out of my way to hear it!
Me too!!!
I’m so jealous of those people who got to sit there and experience this.
Same
HEAR,HEAR!
Me too!!!!
Same and I hate the fact of how overlooked it was😩
ME TO,
This is so awesome. Van Zandt will live forever whether he likes it or not
He definitely doesn't like it.
Perhaps he's happily up in heaven listening, tapping his feet and drunk. Completely shit faced drunk. Lord knows if there's a heaven then that's what l hope we all get to do up there or the place would end up being remarkably similar to hell anyway.
Great comment, made me laugh out loud.
This is most the most hipster comment i've ever read and I love it.
Цой жив))
I cannot fathom just walking by this beautiful work of art.
As a busker and performer who performs this and plays both fiddle and guitar...this is PHENOMENAL! ❤❤ THANK YOU! Great use of double stops and detaché!
Ever since “Using Again” I’m listening to LDSB music with more than my ears. Thank you Ashley for understanding and patching Ben up when he’s been in a dark place. Much respect.
Under rated comment. As a man who has lived in some really dark places, Ashley is the MVP here. Ben might be the one writing songs, but Ben (probably) wouldn't even be alive today without her. We NEED our partners. Half the time or more, the only difference between being "the local ellectic" and being "mentally ill" is a good partner. Humans need each other - we are a romantically dimorphic species for a reason.
@@willcresson8776 dude...
They are beautiful together!! Same using again I cried I was homeless when I heard it middle of my addiction and lowest... Love the Lost Dog Street Band. Big fan (Jenn256 Alabama)
This is by far my favorite version of this song - with all due respect to Townes......
Strange to see, these two sing and play , ( I just got back from Denver) and the people just walk on by. The people have a chance to see one of the best current folk bands for free and its like they just dont understand what they are hearing and seeing so they move in a mindless drone walk. Nice song, well done. (
Truthfully, that makes me appreciate it that much more...
NPCs do NPC things
The woman eating the sno-cone on the wall next to them gets it.
Have no idea what they were a witness to. Better and more talented than any pop bullshit on the radio. I was thinking the same thing.
You're right about everything else but they aren't a Folk group at all, they're real Country infused with Bluegrass. Artists like this are few and far between today and you have to dig for them as the mainstream music overshadows everything and is forced upon the public using a manipulative mass marketing saturation scheme. Every genre today is spewing out meaningless garbage as they don't show any respect for what gave the genres their meaning and definition in the first place. For instance in comparison to this Country we hear by this group today's crap isn't even Country we have a bunch of yahoos singing about everything but the grass roots culture of fans of the Country genre.
Amazing cover. Does Townes a good deed. Not to mention Ben you're playing 4 instruments, fucking amazing. Lost Dog always puts out great stuff.
Lost Doggy shaky graves plays multiple instruments as well. He's pretty fkn good too

@@syliss133, Ben and Graves Duo. The band that will break the internet, shatter the greats and seed the future consciousness of the world.
hes a monster
I like shaky graves as much as the next, but I feel Lost Dog Street Band is just in a whole other league musically
This needs to be done in a studio absolutely perfect. I just wanna download it with clear sound. Probably listened to it a million times within a few weeks.
Same
It can't be any better
I just found this band yesterday and cant get enough! Great job. Keep it up!
I've been having the hardest time with life lately .this music is getting me through . I am very lost but finding pieces of me along the way . thank you for the amazing music
Keep that PMA .. positive mental attitude..
Hang in there
Prayer's up Dear Josh.
Me too. Like a life line at times...
You're not alone...
these folks are AWESOME. I love the way that dude sings and pronounces things. the girl is cute as a button and shreds that fiddle. great great band. love the old timey style clothes too
he sounds irish but hes appalachian
@@MrEvilsurpent Exactly my thoughts. Like what the fukc is happening in Appalachia lol.
@ippos_khloros That's very interesting! Thank you!
Over 6 years I always come back to this song. Greatest cover ever
Only discovered this yesterday, and I think i've listened to it about 3,612 times already. Fantastic cover.... really nice!
The emotion in this version is so palpable. I think it’s my favorite so far.
They're doing this song on the Summer 2022 tour and my god it was AMAZING to hear this live
I would do anything to have seen them on the streets. I'm very thankful I get to see them live, and see them live 3 times in the past year but to have seen them like this would be amazing to me!
Still hits hard. What a cover. We played it as well…what a song.
These two are crazy good! Flippo on all those instruments, and mae plays the shit out of that violin!! Always amazing to watch
Those folks don't deserve or understand pure genius, it's to their own detriment.
Wow . Speechless. My favorite Townes . You guys did such justice. Thank you both so much.
May Townes Van Zandt live forever, I pray each generation keeps covering his work. His songs can touch you down in your soul which is a rarity nowadays. Even better that it’s played by lost dog street band. One of the few strong souls carrying on the tradition/history of tramps, a far too often forgotten sub culture of America. Often forgotten but still responsible for most of music pop culture. Without “tramps” blues wouldn’t have spread, and rock n roll would have happened. Without that blues rock would have never dominated the 70’s.
So much of our musical culture today is dependent on music passed down from that culture of travelling musicians. Without them there would be no blues, no rock n roll, no classic rock, no pop music. Good wishes to those that still carry on this tradition.
just by the way he bent the neck of his guitar in the begining you can tell it's gonna be good. Thank you Ben and Ashley
I wish I could just follow you guys around the country. Everything you play is gold.
I need a studio version of this and to listen to it on repeat
Priceless. Thank you.
These two have more passion and talent than most anyone could ever even hope to comprehend, let alone replicate
This is as hardcore as anything I ever heard!!! This dude should be making MILLIONS of dollars!! Use'n Again makes me cry everytime I hear it!
And the chik aint to bad either...a tasty bird, if I may be so bold!
Everything about this, is beautiful.
The greatest cover of the greatest song and people are just walking by in the background like nothing is happening. Crazy. You guys are amazing, hope to hear more TVZ from you
Gawdamnit I love this outfit
Absolutely incredible! I come back to this often and every single time it still astonishes me. Timeless and heartfelt. Spectacular rendition.
This dude punched me one time at a saloon.
You were lucky to get away with ur life
@@dwightmaciv4789 lmao cool story buddy
A lot of us have done things we are not proud of. I would have used my foot or head can't injure the hands
probably a cheapy, he looks like a weeny
@@jeffspicoli1661 nah dudes a scrappy fkr gets it in. You can see the look in his eye too. He came up on the streets
hugh both thank for being on earth among us wonderfull beggars and do what you do making a better sensible world peace on you.!!
no way. this has been my favorite Townes Van Zandt song since I saw the video from Heartworn Highways... You guys have been my favorite since I saw your video for "I Went Down to Georgia," "Coming Down," and "Fall From Grace." Impeccable cover, you guys killed it.
Just seen him live a few months ago and he played this and let me tell you i got cold chills the whole song
Please come to Canada we love you your music is truly heart felt
I just found this band a few months ago. And there playing right on the bricks i grew up on. crazy video
makes me want to go back home
Around two years ago CZcams suggested this video to me. I was strung out sitting in my truck debating my future. Now two years later I've listened to every single lost dog street band/Benjamin Todd song I can find learned to play a few seen him live twice repaired my marriage and it's all because of a CZcams suggested video.
everything happens for a reason.
This is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for posting this!
Ben's voice is absolutely amazing.👊🙏
Holy Smokes that is a beautiful cover. You guys crush it and manage to add another layer to the legend of Townes.
Man, this song makes me cry every time I hear it. These two do it such a justice. Love them.
I’m so glad I found Lost Dog. Thank you for all you do. I love you guys. You’ve helped me crawl out of some shitty places.
I love all Townes' stuff, and this is great!
Love the unique cover; I expected nothing less. Amazing pair of talents.
I love Lost Dog. So proud I get to see them a lot since they play Nashville so much
Thank you for introducing me to Townes, I love your guys group keep it up
Damn. I found you guys a few months ago and every song I listen to floors me how it relates to my current situation. Keep it up.
Sean Nolan these are my words right now
best cover of this song ever. heard many. best ever. period. double period ..
I prefer Colter Walls version
One my favorites of there covers truly make it there own,🆘🏁🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒🆘🤘💕🚬💔💰
You two are the inspiration to my life! You make a perfect match! Getting lost in your music makes me feel alive again. The trueth behind the story's really hit home!
The way she play that fiddle is so amazing!
I absolutely love this song, you guys are amazing, I live the two of you pounding out beautiful music, please oh please keep doin what you do
Love this so much
One of my favorite Townes tunes for sure. Benjamin Todd I love you throw your own pain into the melody of any cover you play.
Man such raw, natural talent here. Love these guys.
Ive been listening to they're music for only 2 days but its been in ny head nonstop for the last 48 hours. I had to make a playlist as soon as i found them because i literally can't find a song i DONT want to hear later, its insane
So talented. This is the best cover I've heard of this song. Amazing
I think Townes would like this rendition
Wonderful , pure music !
Love the band and this cover !
This is nothing short of miraculous
Thought this area looked familiar. Kills me every time I see these awesome performances in a place I could drive to in less than a half hour. Seriously what an insane performance y'all!
This is so good! Best version I've heard.
This is the third time I've stumbled on this street cover... it gets better with each listen. Very simple but compelling arrangement, very authentic sound... I love it. Now headed to look up more from Lost Dogs.
I don't know if you ever look at this but you have changed my life. Thank you so much for all you've done for me.
Love Townes music. I love this cover as well
I thought that was Moreland Ave. and Euclid in Atlanta, and thought Damn, all the thousands of times I've walked that corner and i missed this.
Amazing artists making beautiful food for the soul
This is simply legendary. Greetings from Sweden!
I'd sit all day and watch them
I lived outside of Boulder for 2 years 2011-2013, I know that spot! I've seen a lot of performers in the area, damn shame I wasn't there for this one.
Yeah Pearl Street Mall
Damn I miss that place!
I grew up in Longmont.
Love these guys. I wonder if they have ever played up in Estes Park.
Would love to see them.
Such an amazing duo. Ben's voice communicates that emotion so raw and Ashley destroys that fiddle every time!!! Let's not forget the five instruments plus Ben's voice these two incorporate . .. so sad I wasn't on Pearl.street that day
It's beautiful lucky sods don't appreciate brilliance when they hear it
What on earth is the attraction in listening to songs about misery, death, heartache and pain? I don't know, but I'm attracted to them.
There really aren’t any words to describe the talent y’all have and the emotions you share through your music. It’s 2017 now, the age of vast technological and societal advancements yet y’all seem to make it disappear and bring people back to a simpler time of love and loss and being one with nature. Just living. Thank you. I’d love to see y’all play somewhere in the state of Maine!
How can anyone watch their performance live and just walk in by?! I wish I could have ran into them when they were busking. But still the question remains, how could anyone pass them up and not know that they were listening to greatness?!
I love you guys! Looking forward to your concert in June. 😁
Townes and Blaze would love this guy.
What a voice ...wonderfull song
Come to Winfield, KS 3rd weekend in September for our bluegrass festival. You guys would be a big hit down in the grove. :D
Brilliant respect from Scotland 🏴
Love this.
This speaks to my soul, and I am crying
Great song, but that poor woman in the back dropped her spoon...
this killed me
Hahaha and shes from boulder so she picked it up and disposed of it.
Fuck that spoon. Tods prolly dropped his spoon many of time.
Found my favorite comment on a lost dog video
@@beezybambino3896 lol badum ch!
I love these guys, I can’t tell which is more intense, Ben singing or Ashley’s violin, this song is haunting in a good way
Love this😍😍😍
What talent!! Man that was great !!
Just oozing talent. Couldn’t just walk by.
Wonder how many loyal fans were made that day
I maybe listened to a dozen videos from these ones. Love 'em. Absolutely no surprise they're coverin' my man.
Tremendous!
You two are amazing! See you in May. Heading to Cleveland to catch your show!
Only commenting here to reach the years of ben. I'm a musician currently living behind my dad's bowling alleyroller skating rink. So I have this amazing access to acoustically amazing set ups. And I live in a camper outback. lol
Struggling with... a lot really. We once met outside of a show in Detroit. I coaxed you over with a jibber and you asked me if we'd ever met before.
Either way.. words can never convey my gratitude for your music.
....,But Thanks.
This is amazing. You guys sound brilliant together. Stay strong.
Ben in my spirit animal. ❤
As a huge fan of TVZ and a new but big fan of the Lost Dog Street Band, I must say this is a striking rendition. Looking forward to hearing more from you guys in the future.
thank god you did this cover justice! Good stuff man!
