I swooned at "Brandy" I'll tell you tho this is right up there with Brandy Great job boys
Your music kept me alive in ICU. My 40th surgery. Thank you. Wish I could see this awesome band .
You guys are so talented! Being able to perform this and so many other covers flawlessly
I have been a MAJOR fan since this band began. It's amazing to see how they have matured into a very capable, tight nit group of professionals. Their respect towards musicianship and their approach to music is unparalleled by ANY band out there. Most are just '"goin' through the motions' and yet BHTM still LOVES WHAT THEY do. Just amazing guys. Todd, you are "forever the man, and I am forever your fan"!! I'll be seeing you here in St. Louis soon enough!!
I am 71 years old and I have to be honest I have never heard of you and your band but I like it !!!! from The Northern Neck of Virginia.
One of my favorite bands of all time
A song for our current times ! Apparently, Joe Walsh saw the *future* waaaayyyy back in the early 1980's..

You hit that one on the head. So true...definitely one for the current times. BHTM does this tune real well. A totally underrated band in every way. Love the music, but hate the times we are living in right now. Have most of the people of this world lost their minds or what? It is tough to watch and endure it all. I am ashamed of what most of humanity has become. We haven't seemed to evolve much past caveman days. We are finding ways to kill one another more effectively each day. I fear it will be humanity's end long before we use up mother earth. That is my rant...something to think about!
Love it! Lap slide guitar always makes me think of Jeff Healey. RIP. Cheers!
Jeremy playing a cornet, fantastic!!! You guys are the best!
Keep all the good work coming guys. Can’t get enough of your originals or covers. Bring it on.
I love Joes playing in The Eagles and Solo. Awesome tribute to one of rocks most gifted guitarists.I didnt know Tom hanks Played the trumpet.LOL.Great job guys. *****
Love it. Been listening to you all since the early 90's and you never fail to please. Can't wait for your next trip to the south.
Great choice, tremendous as with everything you guys do! So impressive how Todd can alter his voice to fit the song. Have seen them at Red Rocks and Greensboro this year. The best live band on the planet!!!
Always a poignant choice for sharing with us💕 Jeremy’s talent abounds again and loving the green bass -Rob never disappoints! Brian’s hits best in biz! Thank
Dude, this is great. Seeing you guys in November, cannot wait!
There anything BHTM can’t do well? Another awesome cover
Because the original version is the greatest rock song ever written I was “sure” any cover of it would suck… man was I wrong !! Fantastic job on a mega classic !!
Yes!
This is awesome! I just recently discovered your cover of Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) and I love it. I have been hooked and a Big Head Todd fan since I first heard Bittersweet and It's Alright from the live show at Red Rocks in 08. You guys are awesome!
1:33 and counting right on time Big GUY PERFECT

Very Well Done! Love your version of Rocky Mountain Way🎼🎼🎼🎼ty!
Guys, that was a FANTASTIC version. I imagine Walsh has somewhere here to say the same thing. Crushed it.

Wow. One of the most underrated bands of all time. Been a fan since I was an undergrad at CU Boulder. Live this band.
Excellent!

Outstanding,I bet ole Joe would be extremely Proud.
Beautiful
Great. Bravo!
Fabulous cover! Nice job gents. The horn just makes it so good. - Cheers
Wow!
I've seen BHTM a dozen times 1st time a at The Horde Festival. In Portland Or. In the early 90s.. I've seen 500 concerts give or take.. and these guys are 2nd to none. Other than Pink Floyd. That shows though to beat.lol. Hopefully they cruise by my town soon. I've got the perfect song they need to cover... Psycho Killer.. Talking Heads.. that song is perfect for them to play...
Thank you. I 💚 u guys.
♥♥♥♥
I know the comment section is for how much we love you but you already know how much we love you....Thanks for all of what you have given us. Mind if I say that this world is an illusion from the perspective of the one we're from. If you believe in the 'hereafter' then it is this world that fades away when we 'die', pass on.....but we all so hate to leave things undone so be leaving us too soon.
I love it! I have one james gang cover!
Great job, by a great Long Standing band...
Another cool cover. Must be fun to be you!
Very good,you got Joe's range Todd
Been a fan for years...
Banda do Colorado excepcional
I totally want to hang out in these guys' basement!
Would love to see them stop by Daryl's House.
💜😊⭐👍
Great cover!
👍🙏
Please play this when you come to Boston 11/12
That pocket trumpet yo! Sweet
Nice
Last I listened they went to far to cw. This is more like it ...ps Todds voice is spot on for this cover.
BHT = pure greatness
Todd, i would love to see you guys do a cover of "Driver 8" by REM. I've always thought it would be a great cover for you.
👊🏼
Yes sir
Multi-tasking
Very cool! You guys need to cover "King Harvest, Dancing in the Moonlight "
I had already "liked" this video before the horns came in, but then I wanted to "like" it again!
A Life of Illusion by Joe Walsh Sometimes, I can't help the feeling that I'm Living a life of illusion And oh, why can't we let it be And see through the hole in this wall of confusion I just can't help the feeling, I'm living a life of illusion Pow! Right between the eyes Oh, how nature loves her little surprises Wow, it all seems so logical now It's just one of her better disguises And it comes with no warning, nature loves her little surprises Continual crisis Hey, don't you know it's a waste of your day Caught up in endless solutions That have no meaning Just another hunch Based upon jumping conclusions Caught up in endless solutions Backed up against a wall of confusion Living a life of illusion Songwriters: Kenneth R. Passarelli / Joseph F. Walsh A Life of Illusion lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
Actually show you that Joe is a God of Rock
Hair gettin' > shorter Talent ~ incredible. 💪❤
Liking the hair cut Todd
I double-dawg dare you to NOT shake your azz while showering and jamming to this song....
I knew the song but didn’t know you folks performed it! Oops 😬 Joe Walsh originally wrote & performed this song!
🙂
