Justin Currie is by far one of the best singer songwriters of our time and he is so under the radar that it’s a shame. Always one of my go to artists as well as Del Amitri! This performance is such a showcase of what Justin is all about and his talent just pours out into a glass that we are all holding! Ty for posting. I will be coming back to this many times!
Well I nearly drowned on dry land watching this! I was holding my breath whilst soaking up the moment. Such a treat to hear/watch a true musical genius transfix an audience, and to step away from the mic, knowing the power of his voice alone would make it more personal to the crowd makes Justin the best songwriter and solo guitarist I know. Thanks for sharing.
Music that makes the world a tiny bit better in such dark times. Justin knows pain, and he can say it and sing it with such heart and soul that you ache for not being there in that moment... Loved Del Amitri for so many years. So, so underrated. Bloody music industry knows FA if they can leave DA in the shadows of fame while pushing the crap that tops the charts regularly. He’s a treasure. Well done, Justin x
Beyond amazing. Justin and the guys came back from the 86 tour in the USA. Paul tyagi was my pals brother. Dels drummer. I met the guys in Pauls house. A big fan of the first album and so amazing to be able to tell the guys
Crushing video! The combo felt so right together! JC as I’ve said numerous times, he is right up there with in my world the best song writer JC, Bob Dylan, Robert Hunter, Robert Smith… however JC hit home more often , so so so happy to get a chance to see DA this spring in US.
This is why I regret living in the US and not the UK. He is a treasure. I am always amazed at his songwrting and his vocal delivery. I wish he would book some dates in the US. Until then, a grateful thanks Penny for all the great vids!
I saw this man 3 times in Philadelphia. Once with del Amitri and twice as a solo artist. He is the epitome of a singer-songwriter. He sounds just as good live as he does in the studio! I wish he would come to Phoenix!
This was great - Justin at his best. I wish I had been there as I've never heard him play Drowned On Dry Land - one of his best songs. There is a funny at 4.59 - he got Broken and Choking the wrong way round and you can see that he realised his mistake.
Penny, I know how long you've been a fan of DA/JC and have shown their stuff. Someone else has to take this off your shoulders... you are too damn GOOD!!! I will always return to you.
Beautiful video Penny....saw him do this at Leeds but he didn't come off the mic till the end. Wonderful....but oh....he looks tired...poor baby...I'm sure we could give him some more energy!!! hee hee. Thanks for posting xxx
I'd love to see him and Ellis Paul do a project together. Ellis writes songs that are stories like Justin does. I think they would be great together. Justin has SUCH a great voice.
Did he play all of Drowned on Dry Land at Leeds ? At Newbury , a Scottish member of the audience sang the first two lines and Justin sang the third, but that was it !
Weli, he tried...but didn't remember the words and we were a crap audience and couldn't help him out! But he was incredibly funny tho! I'm going to upload it soon...there's some great banter. xxx
Penny sounded like she got a little bit moist at the start of this lol. Only stumbled over this in 2021 because del amitri are touring at the moment and they are still 👍
Probably because someone thought it would be a good idea to give him a backing vocal all the way through it. Aye, like we paid to hear YOU sing it. (sigh)
Lovely filming... only ruined by someone singing along almost as loud as him.. Almost made me stop watching.. Drowned... is exemplary, though. They shouldn't let audiences into gigs... lol
I disagree with you as far as somebody singing along...to me in part that is what made this performance as special as it is! Songwriters want you to sing with them!
I met him last week in Glasgow walking down the street. A special moment for me. What a talent and so humble.
I think he went to glasgow tech like me

One of the greatest singer/ songwriters of the last 40 years, along with neil finn
totally underrated artist ...topl class performance

It was amazing when he sang off mic... truly magical moment. Mesmorising.
For Charlotte a.k.a. 'Charlie' (1992-1997) Thanks for turning me on to Del Amitri, it was the best gift you ever gave me in our short time together!
Amazing performance - just wish I could have been in that room - this man is a genius - his melodies and voice are unbelievable
Penny, I'm still convinced that over half of the views of this video are due to me. Merry Christmas and long live Justin and Del Amitri!
Merry Christmas 🌲
I'm normally not one to comment on UA-cam videos but this really is one of the best acoustic performances I have ever seen! He's some man!!

Ten years ago wow I was there this night and this was outstanding when he went off Mike.. brilliant stuff .thanks to Penny for sharing x
You’re very welcome Mel. What a moment that was. X
Stunningly beautiful…
I don’t understand why Justin doesn’t teach fans his classic songs to play at party’s to let these songs be around forever!🤔
Thanks for sharing Penny. I am always mesmerized and in awe listening to and watching Justin.
This is why I regret living in the US and not the UK. He is a treasure. I am always amazed at his songwrting and his vocal delivery. I wish he would book some dates in the US. Until then, a grateful thanks Penny for all the great vids!
Wow....Can feel a strong Bob Dylan influence on this song...brilliant performance Justin

I believe Phoenix is on the 2022 tour for del Amitri. If you Google it you should find the tour dates.
Wonderful
JC is so damn great!!! Magical

magical.
Such a great voice
Genius!!!!!!!
Justin looks like he's entranced here...I dig it! I am a bit hypnotized watching him delivery these songs
what else can you say about this..apart from it's music at its very best..pure class.
Totally agree
Chrissie, I think it got everyone it was a really pure moment.
He told me he wasnt happy at all with his voice or timing the whole tour. Maybe he was tired. Still sounded fabulous to me.
Penny, I know how long you've been a fan of DA/JC and have shown their stuff. Someone else has to take this off your shoulders... you are too damn GOOD!!! I will always return to you.
Adam Denton To be honest I’ve not recorded at the last 6 or 7 gigs at all. Just enjoyed the moment.
Beautiful😮
Penny, you have a nice voice!
Omg Pen, thank you for filming this!! I've waited years to hear him sing Drowned on Dry Land.....that just made me tear up. x
Some nice audience harmonies there.
Emotional investment, hauntingly beautiful.
He's his harshest critic!
Beautiful video Penny....saw him do this at Leeds but he didn't come off the mic till the end. Wonderful....but oh....he looks tired...poor baby...I'm sure we could give him some more energy!!! hee hee. Thanks for posting xxx
Thank you sooo much for the share...absolutely brilliant and I'm feeling choked up after listening.
If he plays Drowned on Dry Land with Andy on Accordion I would be so happy
I am #420 on the like button. His songs make me high naturally.
Pure class
Thanks ever so much for sharing this Penny, wonderful stuff!!xx
I'd love to see him and Ellis Paul do a project together. Ellis writes songs that are stories like Justin does. I think they would be great together. Justin has SUCH a great voice.
yep, I agree with you...he sounded fabulous as always to me too! He's too hard on himself, isn't he? x
Justin Currie (needs to go sit at BD s side and absorb. ) he is on his way. Go Justin.

Ha! That is my friend you can hear not me. 😄
@@brighteyes72uk ha ha priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who are you, person who dislikes this, I just want to talk
Probably because someone thought it would be a good idea to give him a backing vocal all the way through it. Aye, like we paid to hear YOU sing it. (sigh)
He is x a grafter
does anyone know the tuning of his martin guitar?
Aki Pan low E down a whole step. High E and B string down a whole step. Same tuning for Tell Her This
***** Thank you very much!
This song is in DADGAD
Lovely filming... only ruined by someone singing along almost as loud as him..
Almost made me stop watching.. Drowned... is exemplary, though.
They shouldn't let audiences into gigs... lol
They paid for that privilege tbh.
I disagree with you as far as somebody singing along...to me in part that is what made this performance as special as it is! Songwriters want you to sing with them!
@@johnalancarmackofficial5773 True. It helps if they are in tune though!! :)
