Teeth in the Grass - Iron & Wine Live?

I've been looking around for a live version of "Teeth in the Grass," or a cover version, or any alternate version. The album version is all I've been able to find, if you know of a cover of "Teeth in the Grass" or a live version by Iron & Wine, let me know. Perhaps the unique instrumentation in the song has deterred would be cover version creators.

There aren't a whole lot of live Iron & Wine performance videos online, in part I would guess due to Sam Beam and company's relatively sparse performance schedule in comparison to other performing musicians.

Teeth in the Grass


by Iron & Wine




This is a really cool song with a cool sounding guitar, slide guitar and driving rhythm.

"Teeth in the Grass" the fifth track from the 2004 album "Our Endless Numbered Days," Same Beam's first release as Iron & Wine with help, i.e. additional musicians.

Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel Lyrics & Video

"Wagon Wheel" is the most well known song by Old Crow Medicine Show, with many calling it the "signature tune" of the band. While thought by some as an Old Crow original, band member Ketch Secor has told the story of how "Wagon Wheel" was inspired by an obscure Bob Dylan recording.

Secor, in fact describes it as him finishing a Bob Dylan song. The initial lyrics and idea for "Wagon Wheel" came from a Bob Dylan outtake from the soundtrack to the film "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" that Secor was listening to, he then used what he heard Dylan sing on the recording and fashioned "Wagon Wheel" from the inspiration and lyrics he received from Bob Dylan.


"Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show appeared as the 11th and final track on the bands self-titled full-length debut album, "Old Crow Medicine Show," often abbreviated as "O.C.M.S." Since the songs release on "O.C.M.S." many other bands have covered "Wagon Wheel."

Wagon Wheel Lyrics


Wagon Wheel
By - Old Crow Medicine Show


Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road
Pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight

So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a south-bound train
Hey, mama rock me

Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a-gettin' me now
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a-turnin' back
To livin' that old life no more

So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a south-bound train
Hey, mama rock me

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I got to get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin' my name
And I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free

So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a south-bound train
Hey, mama rock me

Led Zeppelin as Lego Men

Led Zeppelin as you've never seen them before, that's right, as Lego people / figures.

This is pretty neat, I assume they are created by Dunechaser on Flickr. If the shirts are painted by him, it's quite impressive as it is quite detailed work on a quite small surface. The rock and roll hair is another question. I wonder where that came from?

Now, just for some Lego instruments.

Led Zeppelin Perform Tangerine Live at Earls Court 1975

Here is a video of Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, & John Bonham performing the song Tangerine in 1975.

The performance was recorded at one of their string of 5 shows in May 1975, at Earls Court Arena in London.

These shows, today known as Earls Court 1975 were massively popular, selling 85,000 tickets.

Music critics regard the Earls Court shows among the best ever by Led Zeppelin.


Wow, just 2.5 pounds for the best tickets to Led Zeppelin's Earl Court Shows

The live music video of Led Zeppelin doing "Tangerine" at Earls Court Arena, May 1975. The song came right in the middle of the set list all but the last night of the concert series when it was one song before the mid-point because of the addition of two additional encore songs, "Heartbreaker" and "Communication Breakdown".



"Tangerine" was one of two songs written and composed entirely by Jimmy Page that was performed at the Earls Court Shows. The other was "Dazed and Confused," a song originally written by Jake Holmes. "Dazed and Confused" was expanded and reworked by Jimmy Page and is the fourth track on Led Zeppelin's debut album.
