That jesse character really shot himself in the foot leading with that highly offensive Walmart trash song he wrote. I mean right off he says he's not going to walmart because some dude called him queer. What's wrong with being queer. And then he puts down large families with red-headed children calling them buzzards in the clearance section. And then he has a damn problem with what people choose to wear, specifically pajamas. This guy really showed his true ugly colors. And there's a reason that NONE of those music legends recognized jesse's offensive music. Man, he really screwed up BIGTIME leading with that trash opinionated crap that came from his heart
Yep, singing that highly offensive, immaturely opinionated walmart song he wrote wrote from the heart--singing that right off was like him taking a big dump on Farm Aid. That guy . . . shaking my head
@@kkeennppss the question you should be concerned with is WTF is that sad little red-flag shirt wearing pop-star fantasy dreamer saying. Leading with a song where in the first stanza he says he ain't going to walmart because Tanner called him "queer" . . . verbatim. Is something wrong with that choice? He thinks so since he found it so offensive that he ain't going to walmart today--adolescent mentality to say the leastestestest. Then he has a problem with what people choose to wear, calling out someone sporting PJs. But most distasteful was his bigoted remarks about large families with red-haired kids shopping the clearance section, which he denigrated these people as "buzzards." So tell me, good sir, just what do you see worth respecting in jesse's.most offensive, egocentric, puberty-stricken thoughts that he dropped oit on the stage--big pile of frass is all it amounted to
The Bob Dylan of our generation that deserves to be the top folk musician in the next 5 years. He is prolific with meaningful lyrics that represent the perils of greedy capitalism in a way that is palpable.
A lost generation has a voice…unparalleled in American music and arguably the English language itself. He’s at least one in a 100 million rare - a priceless gift to the common folk. Pray for his wisdom and protection against the Usurpers he speaks out against; by naming them, he makes himself a target.
Let's talk about deeeeeaaaad people. I can't get this lyric out of my head. It's such a great song. Check out "Hell" by him as well. Another one I can't get out of my head because it's so good.
That sums it up. The doctors who cure cancer have been forced out of the United States, or into oblivion. Cancer is a cash cow, like all chronic illness.
Wow he is all about the music. It's all he cares about it seems like. It's absolutely beautiful. He is not trying to shove his personality on us. All he wants to do is get up there and make us feel something with his music. To make something that matters. it's so rare. To see an artist.
Thank you for posting this! Any chance you grabbed Charley Crockett and/or Margo Price’s sets from the livestream as well? I can’t find even find a lo-res rip, let alone this 1080p HD quality 😯 Cheers!
Definitely talented at crafting songs....not sure how an hour of these would land for me. The statements are the easy part.....any contrasting views/solutions? IMO.
@@skaterdavedownsouth Thanks, not saying I can do it, just saying the acerbic social commentary alone is not to my liking, hence IMO. Songwriters, Dylan included, paint the scenario then craft some sort of resolution, which is just not the case here. Again, just my observation. Guy is certainly a breath of fresh air.
@@ps-bi2sr It's cathartic. I see where you're coming from, but I don't think everyone who complains should have a handy solution, unless it's a debate or they are policymakers. With that as a requirement, you'd either stop hearing about problems altogether (like the proverbial ostrich), or you'd have people convincing themselves that they're experts in every topic they touch on. (Hmm. Yeah, pretty sure we're already at that stage.) To me, what singer/songwriters like Dylan - and, to an extent still to be determined, Jesse - do is tap into visceral fears and frustrations that cut across generations at a given moment in time. The key to their success as artists, imo, is precisely that they don't give in to nihilism (coming from someone who does). When the alternative message is not as simple as "stop bombing children", I think both of them go a long way to underline what gives us hope and keeps us going despite all the ugliness, double-think, and moral bankruptcy. To speak to your point, I wish he'd played That Can't Be Right, Let It Be Me, Anything But Me, or Bugs - this last one is literally just a ditty about bugs, and I can't think of a better palate cleanser; if you're willing to give him another shot but want something more lighthearted, I'd start there. Sorry for the wall of text; I saw you being constructive and felt comfortable sharing my thoughts.
@@ps-bi2sr I’m trying to think of one Dylan song that gives a solution. I’ve spent hundreds of hours listening to Dylan, and can’t think of a solution song. My memory’s not too great though. Help me out.
@@davidpeightal4918 Perhaps "solutions" as in resolution. If you know his work you know Blood on the Tracks.....the guy doesn't speak in mathematical equations, more ways to adjust to the pain of separation or breaking up. "If you see her...." comes to mind. Kind of hard comparing Jesse's buying trash bags at Walmart or whatever it is he's saying to a song of Dylan's. The fact that some posters on this page state Jesse is the "new" Dylan or even "better than", tells me this ain't my crowd, if that helps. These folks are gaga over these tunes, I just see it as novelty, that's all.
He is an amazing songwriter and performer. He is a national gem.

Facts!!!
This kid's got it all. Great to see him out of the woods handling this performance like a seasoned pro.
He is a seasoned pro he’s been in the business since 2018
He's fronted his own band(s) in front of some big crowds before he went solo.
No kid.....smart man
I don’t know how old you are but this guy is 30 definitely younger lookin then he is
The Bob Dylan of our generation that deserves to be the top folk musician in the next 5 years.
He is prolific with meaningful lyrics that represent the perils of greedy capitalism in a way that is palpable.
Yea he's like a modern mix between Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan to me. So awesome to see protest folk music is still alive!
more like a Blaze Foley
He reminds me of Country Joe McDonald
Yeah but better --- he has more class consciousness and is not self-censored as Dylan seems to have been.
capitalism isnt the problem its a fuckin oligopoly were dealin with.
I can't believe he only got 9 minutes. That's criminal...
People couldn't handle too much more truth spittin'
Jesse was the sound of Summer 2024. A stellar musician.
Love you Jesse Welles! 💙
I love Jesse Welles, he gives me hope for the future ❤ He’s a Superstar and I just can’t wait to see him really take off, TAKE IT HANDS 🙌
The emotional ride you go on with jesse is always so intense. The guys the best around at the moment.
He is a Star - helping to keep our spirits up in dark times like these!🌹🍀🌹🍀🌻🌻🌻🌹🍀🌹🍀
I'm fully in love with this guys mind. Every day I start my day with a jesse song. Amazing guy.
A lost generation has a voice…unparalleled in American music and arguably the English language itself.

Testify 🙌🏻
To the top of the internets with Jesse! Go, Jesse, go!🌎💗🎉
War Isn’t Murder is the best song of all time, holy shit
Let's talk about deeeeeaaaad people. I can't get this lyric out of my head. It's such a great song. Check out "Hell" by him as well. Another one I can't get out of my head because it's so good.
Wow that line at the end of cancer, if you don’t expect peace don’t expect a cure!!
If you ain't expecting peace, don't expect a cure.
That sums it up. The doctors who cure cancer have been forced out of the United States, or into oblivion. Cancer is a cash cow, like all chronic illness.
Great quote.
he says "why expect a cure"
carries a different meaning to my ear
"if you ain't expecting peace, then why expect a cure" 6:00
Great songwriting !!!!!
Not a kid...a good man
Farm Aid + Jesse !? I"m so proud of Jesse! Thank you Farm Aid!
Wow he is all about the music. It's all he cares about it seems like. It's absolutely beautiful. He is not trying to shove his personality on us. All he wants to do is get up there and make us feel something with his music. To make something that matters. it's so rare. To see an artist.
“Take it, Hands!” Made me lose my shit lol 😂
Love
he did really well! wish they just gave him more time
Is he married? Someone told me he was
@@karmaklutz don't think so but i don't know
He wears a wedding ring In most of his UA-cam videos so I think he is
@@karmaklutz I think I've seen him wearing a ring in some of his videos.
@@420zackmac420 yeah thats why I asked i seen it too
humble is a good cause. thanks jesse and for posting tom
Great song choice for this set!
Awesomeness!!
We loved it! More please!
I wish this set was about 30 minutes longer.
Jesse, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE! 😍 I thank 🙏 God for you! 🙏
Very, VERY upset I missed him! Brilliant.
Good to see Folk Music/Political righteous music making a comeback with this kid, I’d love to shake his hand
He's the greatest living songwriter.
how to be a national treasure and a buzzkill at the same time. Farm Aid! You done good, Farm Aid
Possibly America's best songwriter since Dylan. Pay attention to Jesse Welles!
Better than Dylan in my book.
@@RebeccaGodfrey-mw7el Wow, and no. Better suited to a comedy club or variety show, but to each his own.
@@ps-bi2srbob dylan sucks
I love him in that red shirt
Remarkable! Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie.... and long line of fine musicians... add this one!
Wish he had done “Wheel” . But those were probably his best commentary pieces. Also like his harmonica and whistling work.
We all have our favs... Can't have it all but I have to wish for Bugs and Dogs. I am just glad he is getting this national exposure.
You're watching the voice of a generation, we can only hope the generation listens
Legend material
Brilliant ! As Always!
I needed to hear this
Great job !
5:10
“Take it away hands”
*hands down solo*
so good
Please come to Arizona. Lake Havasu in particular…
There’s a lot of the legendary Harry Chapin coming through in the first song. Love it Jesse
you gotta come outta the woods at some point
The last line of Cancer hits like a truck.
He looks so much like young John Fogerty
Monsanto-claus! Wow.
That line has me howling laughing, he's so clever
Genius
I got goosebumps on my thighs
Lmao “Take it, Hands!”
The kid is great!!!
I thought the thumb nail was a pic from the 70s!! ❤
Way too good
Fuck yes, Jesse Welles.
YES YES YES YES!!
take it, hands!
Reminds me of the first song i wrote in parody called bl0w job Betty. Merely observational
I dont go to wally world either. Its like a parallel universe, and they arent even cheap!
I kept saying. I just ni just. I just. Incredible
Country Joe McDonald vibes 👌
I wish he would’ve sang The Poor

❤
3:40 is that dude saying “fuck u” or “thank u” 😂
Just my thought, after my first listen. A bit folk, and a bit vaudeville. So, I like it!
Idk what camera what used for this but in a good way, it looks like this was filmed decades ago.
Ha, yep! I’ve always touted this one as the biggest bullshit holiday of them all
I guess Jesse does not ring true with everyone....lyrics like that need to be appreciated.... come to the UK
hey alex buddy . . .
But Jesse Wal Mart has pretty cool Hot Wheels cars.
Definitely talented at crafting songs....not sure how an hour of these would land for me. The statements are the easy part.....any contrasting views/solutions? IMO.
Go ahead then. Your turn.
