@@JohnJohnson-mo4bn Hardly. This is literally one of the most basic minor key chord progressions there is. The vocal melody is a little similar at times but not nearly enough to call it plagiarism.
@@JohnJohnson-mo4bn it does sound like it in the first couple lines. But not enough to match up for plagiarism. It sounds Tex Mex like a lot bands...Paladins, Billy Bacon, Los Lobos..
Amazing to see how time has passed. When this song came out I was 10 years old, and I remember that I loved rock and bands like Pearl Jam, The Verbe, Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, among others. Now I am 31 years old, I still love rock and I still love this song. Now I have a 9 year old daughter who enjoys the same music as me, and who will continue with the legacy of the old and new classic rock with her children. I remember that time with happiness. Greetings to all!
Todo TODO TODO DE ESTÁ CANCIÓN ESTA BIEN HECHO , la voz la Lírica , la batería la guitarra , el bajo , la Línea vocal , los arreglos , la segunda voz TODO !!
I hear this in 2021 and make me so happy and relax because the sound , and progression of this song is so Classic blues rock and ... I don't have words , i Really like this sound
In the last couple weeks I've been playing this song a lot. I've probably heard five or six different versions of this from the band. A great song doesn't need all the production to be a great song, and this is definitely a great arrangement and performance.
@@ZR1Terror there are underrated bands and overrated bands and I had no intention to throw shade at Fastball as they are one of my favorite bands and I was only pointing out they don’t get the recognition they deserve
Gretsch Renown 57 4 piece drum set in motor city blue with the factory "Gretsch" branded bass drum head. The unused fifth drum can be seen glowing bright blue in some shots of the video, way off to the left side of the screen in the wide shots and over Tony's right shoulder in some closeup shots of him. I own that same drum set. The snare cracking away sounds great in this video, and that's about the only thing from that drumset you can hear. In the original video of this song the drummer plays with exaggerated dancy body movements that he got either from Gene Krupa or the drummer from "The Ventures." In this video he has abandoned that schtick.
I'm so glad that he was inspired to write this song in his younger years. Cuz even though this version is beautiful, it doesn't hit the same as the vibrant, upbeat original.
Same could be said for most any band. Put 83 takes, $500k of equipment, a producer, an engineer, 6 computers, a vocal coach, 200 punch ins, 72 tracks, and a few suits and anyone is going to sound better. But they sound great in this video made 20 years later when they are no longer at their youthful peak, so your comment is garbage.
Who cares that we're old now? This is a song about two 80-something year olds, it just gets more and more relatable!
You do know the music was Plagiarized from a 50's song...Go listen for yourself.."Besume Mucho".

@@JohnJohnson-mo4bn I know Besame Mucho. I grew up listening to it. It sounds nothing like this.
I needed to hear a piano bar version of one of my favorite songs. And here we are.
This performance deserved millions of views.
and half that many listens.
What a great song. Can you image busting this hit out for your kids? Number 1 for 4 weeks! What a band and an accomplishment! Long Live Fastball!

Rafael Flores You old bitch.
If you're 31, you are far from old. I WISH I were 31 again. It's when you hit 40 - it's down hill from there.
Dude i have the same memories of summertime when this song came out. BBQ by the pool with this song brings me back to 1999
I see these guys every time they come to Chicago ever since 1998

Your as young as you feel Retro, by the way, your name tells us you're old too ;-) God bless us all lmao.
Even became a hit in the Netherlands. Loved it then and still do.
I've seen him playing this on guitar and now on piano. What a talented bunch, I'm loving' it.
Great tone on that guitar! Love it.
what a treat! I've only known Fastball thru the original video of this song. Now, I see another dimension. It was FUN!!
Great song Great band Great story, a message for everyone how wants to understand life and how it plays out.

Rip lela and Raymond Howard -the true story behind this song
Wow these guys are good. I knew I wanted to have a band because of this song and this band. Ohh the memories :) I was 10 when I first heard it! Whoa!
この曲が流れた当時、日本の名古屋でのライブに行きました！最高でした。
また日本に来られることを熱望します。

Another fantastic recording.. I don't think I've seen a lesser version of this song. Even after all these years they are still on point.
This performance is outstanding!
me encanta esta banda...fastball corazon desde tacna peru
His voice didn't change at all. 😁
A highly underrated band
You’re underrating them yourself with that comment.

this sounds like a cover version played at a bar mitzvah.
Leave religion out of this you spaz
Oy Vey!
Yeah, they should retrofit it into "Fiddler on the roof."
Kinda harsh but hilarious. 😂
Or the live band at a bull and oyster roast.
Great!!
Awesome performance! No nostalgia necessary. This is just a great fucking song!
Amo esta canción!!!
Oh God, I just can't stop laughing at the collective mental breakdown here in the comment section lmao
It may or may not be the best song of all time, but it belongs on the ballot.
So awesome!👍👍👍

Is it just me or did one of the members go full Ben Folds Five?
좋아요
Never been a great band live, definitely had some good studio people to make them sound good

Is the drummer the original?
Is "The Way" a tango? Yes, a naive question, but....
Yes I suppose I could be a grandparent too 😂
who ' s the ghost bassist
Could you imagine that's your grandpa lmao
