He's a legend in Santa Cruz, California. An absolute treasure of American culture.

Todd. I hope that someone will pass this on to you. I live 35 miles southwest of Chicago Illinois. For many years, there was a "club" of about 15 people, who would all keep their eyes and ears open for any word of you coming within about a days drive of us. We would sound the alarm. Before you knew it, there was a phone tree working overtime to gather every scrap of intelligence relating to your visit. We initially formed our little family waiting outside of the clubs for the doors to open for one performance or another. Eventually we got to form a family. All centered around you. We love you. We sacrifice to see you. We miss you. A few of us have actually met you (myself and ex-husband included). My ex-husband and I would catch wind of an upcoming tour. We then arranged to obtain tickets. Once tickets were secured, we would act as our own travel agents. We would do whatever it took to be there. We Would scrimp and save Book a hotel Research one good meal to be had the evening before the performance all other food was from fast food and gas stations For many years our vacations and eventually our honeymoon (and wedding date) were all scheduled around your tour dates. We got married at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet Illinois on October 12th 2006. Then we had a reception at our local pizzapalooza. The very next morning we loaded up the car and drove to Bowling Green Kentucky. We had a absolutely fantastic road trip. We pulled into Bowling Green at about 3 am. We checked in and passed out on the still made bed. After about 12 hours of sleep, we decided to explore Bowling Green. It was a great town. Very friendly locals. We went back a couple of times for vacation. I have seen you live many times. It has been years since last time. Beer Run was our song. He hosted an open mic night at a shit hole bar on a smelly canal. B & B Riverclub, along the I&M Ship and Sanitary Canal. The stench was terrible on a hot summer night. Guys working on barges are very friendly folks. We got the to dock up and drop anchor outside. Good hardworking salt of the earth people. One night I attended the open mic night with my mom. Billy Osman played Beer Run while waiting for the next group of musicians to take stage. I greeted it with extremely loud enthusiastic accompaniment. Our eyes met. The rest was history. We loved you then. We love you now. ✌ + ❤ = happiness 😊 ✨

Out here scrolling and happily accidentally I came across this guy!

My favorite storyteller, not many left✌️❤️ from Bloomington Indiana,Hope everyone is doing well in these troubled times.

Stumbled on this after watching a Ray Wylie Hubbard concert. Thanks KZfaq. "I'm not sharing my point of view with you because I think I'm smart, I'm sharing it with you because it rhymes" dead

Todd is an American treasure. Everything folk music is supposed to be. Been listening to him for years and it never fails to stop me in my tracks listening to his lyrics. Thanks buddy, see you soon we hope

I’m amazed and blown away to find this. I would’ve loved to have been at this performance

I saw him in Nashville, 2001.... as his concert was progressing I took my binoculars out and scanned to the far left of the stage and I saw John Prine; he and his group had came out of their Bus --- because of all of the noise and laughter that Todd Snider was getting... John Prine, was laughing and clapping with his people.... "saying,,, look at that little shit, go.." The crowd was so into it; and Todd,,,, ..... is so ..... damn-ly ..good.

I just saw Todd Snider last night at the Portsmouth Music Hall in Portsmouth, NH. He played almost all the same songs as in this video. He is great and always delivers. Fantastic show last night and I will return to this video from time to time.

Thanks for being you, you helped me out of my darkness as few years ago and I was grieving my oldest son and I believe he sent you to me knowing I needed your humor.💯✌️💚

Todd Snider Rules!!

Amazing musician and songwriter And Story teller. I have seen him live in Seattle and since I’m in Portland I just might head down to the tunnel and clean off “Todd snider rules!” On the wall ;-)

What a nice way to spend doing my Sunday afternoon busy chores. Very nice licks on his guitar, great stories, and I feel like I just spent good times with him.

I'm a huge fan of Todd Snider down here in Australia, I first heard him when my favourite Radio station down here was playing his "Songs for the Daily Planet" album back in the early 90s. My Dad likes him too, he sent me this video.

"If worms had daggers birds wouldn't f--- with 'em" possibly the greatest lyrics of all time!!

I've had the pleasure of seeing Snider several times. He never disappoints. Great lyricist and performer. Check him out.

Thanks for the great songs

Todd ,is one of a kind ,n I fuckin Love him

I found this video by accident, and this Is why I love KZfaq :)

This concert needs to be seen by more than 17K people!!!! Todd is a fabulous songwriter.

Wonderful film. Thanks for sharing.

I am the quintessential Straight White Conservative Male, and I've been into you since 1996, Road Rage song was my gateway, followed by Alright Guy. Kepp Being Genuine.

He is a genius Love him funny as hell but so right on point

you are THE greatest entertainer i have EVER seen

Thank you, Todd.

Just found this, thank you for posting. I love this guy. Todd Snider is real, easy to follow, and just rough enough, but not vulgar. The very last lyric "Lost Highway" was an old Hank Williams song. His taste in music is alot like mine, from Hank to Hendrix. Great work Todd. ;-)

what a treat to find this channel and the great shows here -- Todd Rules!

Thank you!

Todd is a great song writer and entertainer. I love his stories and songs. Next time he's in Pittsburgh, I'll buy him a beer.

A living legend

In all my my lifie I wanted to play a Train song and now he did it.... Feels Perfect.. I hope that Todd continues to entertain US.. Love him..:.

Coming from a 60 something Okie...great talent, well performed, and entertainment with humor, Fantasmic performance! Will be watching fo.. mo..fo.. sho Keep up the good work Todd

great video man, thanks a ton!!!! Love Todd with a passion, great stories, not to mention the music!

Got this moment that I’m in right now, and nothing else at all.

Todd's such a genius

"...and I read a lot of rock magazines" cracks me up every time

Thanks Todd. I'm gonna take your advice, and enjoy myself, because it's later than I think!

I met Todd in Louisville in 1998 at BBC - I worked at a music store and had a copy of "Songs From the Daily Planet" for several months. Instant love. I have been following him ever since. Can't wait for Occupy Main Street!!! Can someone give me a ride home???

Wow so amazing!

Thanks Todd

This is his best song

My neighbor introduced me to his music a few years ago. This due is pretty cool.

Thanx Todd. You always pick me up, especially when I'm down. Bless yer heart. Thank you for posting this, Boulder House Concert.

just found you 2 days ago been listening to you for 48 drunken hours....you are the greatest ever ever

hell yeah so so good!

I'm workin' on a time machine so I can be there, too.

been listening to todd for years, play his music myself but his stories are un reproducibal

LOVE A GOOD STORY

thank you todd.

I genuinely despise harmonicas, and I STILL listened to this entire show. That's gotta tell you something.

Todd rocks. Some day i will get to see one of his concerts.

"Best that i could find"

Love this guy

Great shit. Found Todd on Pandora

Nothing like a good story teller

Awesome.....👍👍

I just happened upon this video as a George Strait song played right before it. Since it's my birthday and I could not sleep, I thought I would listen, because the sun is not up yet and I have time on my hands. I never heard of this guy, probably the age gap. However, I listened and enjoyed his stories, but am I to understand he is a comedian? I did not get his humor. That is not a judgment now. I am hitting 54 so I have a different concept of humor which you have to have when you get A.A.R.P. invites in your mail weekly. Then I realize as I listen to Todd, that this video is from 2007. Well, I remember 2007, but I do not remember him. Anyway, you can tell he worked out all these stories, has a great memory because he rambles just like I am doing now, only he can make everything make sense even though he has run-on sentences that are bases-loaded grand slams...speaking of baseball....

16.00 mark One of the most entertaining 8-10 mins on youtube!

thanks for posting. have yet to catch a live show, here from kamloops, british columbia, canada.

I've seen him several times before during and since the time he put this out. This was by far when he was at his best. The crowd interaction and song lyrics were great, and you can really tell he was practicing on that guitar. I loved his book, and I have met him a few times after shows, but now in some of his interviews he just seems a bit strung out. Same goes for on stage with HWA too. I hope someday he gets back to the 05-09 form.

Hey. Todd .Come on up to Canada eh. We love you.

Someone needs to make a movie about Todd Snider! Who do you think should play him? There’s probably enough material on KZfaq to make the whole movie!!

#0ldTimes. 5:20 ...what your New name is yet!!! Brilliant lyricist.

Todd Snider Kicks Ass!!

Always amazing. :)

He's awesome

Thsi video is an absolute gem

Dude You make me laugh you make me just about cry. I just teared up. Then you make me laugh again. Then teared up its back and forth like that and Your opinions some of them make me angry but not angry at you angry at them . If I could just figure out who them are.

"I don't hav'ta com'in ta town for this, do I man?"

very Arlo Guthrie , love it . thanks

My name is Mark Daniel Schneider and I think Todd Daniel Snider is an alright guy . Hopefully see you play live one day soon✌️

Still heat

Genius in action.

Hes a genius!

Who writes like this?! Todd~ I got a writing deal in the early 90’s in Nashville and spent 10 years that I wish I could get back writing songs. Some of them are actually good, if you want publishing lemme know. I bled for my craft, but achieved nothing like you. Be thankful as you are TRULY gifted! Jesus!

One of a kind! ✌💀👍🎸🎶🎵🧠🌌♾⚡

John Prine likes him, so I do too !

"If worms had dagger, birds wouldn't fuck with'em."

Real Gone Gonzo sent me here!

Don't know the right musical or poetic term...but he reminds me of Paul Thorn.

What's the song that begins at 1:23:25? Is that one of his songs or a cover? I've never heard it before.
