I love this man! Look at their faces, the inmates?? Happiness! No matter what they did or did not do, at this moment they are happy & that is gotta be good for Steve's Karmic footprint.
One of my favourite songs, my favourite version of it.. and the two guys in the bottom right of the frame around 0:30 rocking out to their best ability given the circumstances never fail to make me smile :D
This was never released for sale, but the whole show is posted on vimeo. Just do a search for Steve Earle "To Hell and Back." I'd post a link if UA-cam let me. It may seem like it is not loading, but there are about 10 seconds of blank screen at the beginning, Enjoy!
Vanax: It's like every time I hear his (Stever Earle's) songs, I think: ''Hey Steve, how come you always think like I do ? Did you really think of me when you wrote that song ?'' And I love the sound. And his attitude!
@MissDaisyDesigns Wow, aren't you judgmental... His lack of health has a lot more to do with coming off years of heroin abuse. There are a lot of worse things than gaining a little weight, which is pretty common when people first get clean. You probably thought he looked good 10 years earlier, but he was also strung out most of the time. He is much healthier now, 15 years later.
@SeboZax7 He wasn't just "allowed" to perform - he had to as a condition of his probabation. He went to prison for one drug charge, and had another pending Since he got clean in jail, he didn't get time for the second charge, but was required to do this concert.
True - but in the case of this video, I think it was getting clean. This is from 1996, so he was only 41 and had been clean a little over a year, and gained a lot of weight quickly in that time, from photos I have seen. Opiates suppress appetite and increase metabolism, not to mention that methodone can cause weight gain. But I agree, usually it is about genetics and ageing.
like the song, like watching the man play, as a boy,in this,and even now. i suppose fatherhood is a sobering experience. looking at the audience i thought, en la caja, and comments below seem to bear it out. so is this video done as a PSA?like richards in toronto in the 70's? or did he go there out of fellow feeling? hardly makes a difference, comes to the same thing.
Steve used to be awesome in his earlier days. Present day he tries to influence his politics so heavily on his fans he is hard to listen to. I just went to a concert of his and was very disappointed with his mix of politics and music
His art has a message from his heart. He wants to use his fame and his influence for good and wants to spread the message about what he knows. That’s a good thing. Rock on, Steve Earle

Steve Earl turned me onto Country Music. He writes straight from the soul, from the collective unconscious from Source, he's the man.
Ya hoo AUG 18 IN
WINNIPEG MANITOBA ❤❤❤
KEEP ON KEEPING ON RED WHITE AND BLUE TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE🇺🇸🇨🇦👀
Now this rocks like no one else in the music industry today has the balls to rock it!
I love this man! Look at their faces, the inmates?? Happiness! No matter what they did or did not do, at this moment they are happy & that is gotta be good for Steve's Karmic footprint.
Great live version. One badass song by one badass dude.
Again Steve is the Unrepentant and the Duke is an honest Rocker! He's the best!
This seems like the penultimate country music concert, just a tic below cash at Folsom.
Great stuff " high 5 to VickyCZ!" this Is true country music at It's best.

Found the video, it's still up! Thanks, from the bottom of my heart.

Love it, such an INTENSE voice Steve has, "Someone's got to do it!".
Brilliant!! Thanks for posting!
Wow. To be this creative, intense and so original.
Doing time was worth it for this concert!!!
Love Steve earl
Earle...
In the middle of the night.. In the the middle of a Loooong night!
I like the way he describes his songwriting even better. "Most of them I made up".
Someone has to brother, thanks you.
yes he did, and he went-out-of-his-way to make sure the sound system was as good or better than a concert....from what i've seen, great show!!

The Unrepentant-Duke Stephen at his Earle best!
and rock it he sure as hell did...thought he had a way about him w/"Gitar Town"...now I'm sure...
Steve always did his own thing like it or not
viky always finds the best stuff, a real sweetie is that one!! steve at his best here, but i think he's always at his best...
look at those chops
Thanks Buddy!!!!
It was cold creek prison in tennessee. playing the concert was part of Steve Earle's parole conditions when he left prison for heroin possesion.

Where can I see the whole show? DVD?
It's a Rocker Alrite..

When and where was this recorded?
@ttraynor1 It's a wah wah pedal

The concert was part of his parole agreement.
ROCK ON ! v v v v
Meat Loaf sounds like Steve Earle here.
Not to mention he's hardly a spring chicken. Getting old and fat happens to the best of us.
Maybe they're sitting in chairs because the prison guards won't let them stand? I'm guessing.
