I like this song, and I like the first live version from Jazzfest...this is going to be a monster as the summer progresses :thumbsup

[saintjohnsriver]

time to top the best damn song on the CD

[Silt524]

I admit that I didnt like it at first. That all changed after I saw it live though, it was simply amazing the amount of energy they put into it. Great song:thumbsup

[dmb_addict]

yea it took awhile for the song to grow on me. Pretty dam good song however

[rrbthree24]

has this song always been the biggest hit off of stand up? because i awlays thought it was the one most people hated, but then all of the sudden it got huge.

[MistreatedLewis]

I didn't get to hear it live. Don't love it on the CD though. Not bad.

[wrestler]

once you hear it live you are hooked. amazing.

[tidalwave]

Amazing Song.

[Beefsteak1138]

Its just sick how good that song is.

[Tomriddle]

Kick ass shit.

[BruceW]

best song from stand up seen live...best jam out of them at least...in love with 7-30-05 with Robert Randolph...download the video if you havent already...blew me away...classic R.R.

[Bron Yr Aur]

9.12. Epic version...one of the best performances of any song all tour.

[laron384]

When a song forces me to jump up and down at a show, it's amazing. Bayou is one of the greats that does it.

[chubbyemu]

my fav. new song to hear live, deff. but i have a question, why did a thread started in may get popular again? hahaha

[Antelope]

First thread!!! :hump

Great song, soon to be epic.

Good call. I wasnt sure, but when I heard it live, it floored me.

[dmbyos]

love it, cant stop listening

[lizzardsauce]

When they played this one at Bonnaroo Dave put on this cute little hat and I think he even had a cane or something as a prop, and TOTALLY got into it. He was strutting around the stage, and giving that coy look to the audience, I about died. Then he did that eyebrow thing, oh wait, wrong thread. Seriously though, Bayou ROCKS live.:hump (sorry, I really love the humpy-guy)

[CrashIntoThis]

I'll say that when I first heard Louisiana Bayou after buying Stand Up, that I wasn't crazy about it. But after I heard it live at the DMB show I went to this summer.. I'm in love with it now! :thumbsup

[Pig17]

This is about the only song that just might break my All Time DMB Top Ten out of the Songs from Stand Up.

Thought I would add this here instead of starting a new thread. I was watching the Chicago/New Orleans game and just now when they went to commercial the station played Bayou. How cool is that? :thumbsup

[spotwd]

I like bayou.....and i support this thread. I like the story behind the song.

[kate everhart]

:bounce you can't listen to this with out groovin'..heck of a song :hump

[ncdude2k3]

one of the bands best songs, imo. with randolph it's just sick..and dirty..

[Socks]

Louisiana Bayou is overrated. I don't see what people like about this song. What I hear is boring, formulaic, music and the jam really isn't all that great.

Well that's fine and all but this is the appreciation thread, not the let's go in and talk about how much we hate it thread. See your way out.

[ncdude2k3]

this song will rock your ass off when you hear the red rocks version.

[lieinmygrave41]

I can't believe this thread has had 3300 hits, but only 27 replies!




My Contribution:

Bayous is one of my favorites off the album, and probably my second favorite live. It is just so full of energy and power--and even more so with Robert Randolph. My favorite part on the album is the funky acoustic beginning, then the electric overdub. So in conclusion: LONG LOVE THE BAYOU!!

I'm just wondering what it is you like about the song.

[dsera]

I'm just wondering what it is you like about the song.
Well if you're being serious and not just antagonistic then I'll answer. I like the song for alot of reasons. Its sound is out of the norm of most DMB songs, and certainly most songs from anyone else. When it plays, I simply cannot sit/stand still no matter where I am. After seeing it live, I love how into the song the guys get. It's one of those contageous things. They start rocking back and forth and you find yourself doing the same thing. It's just a fun song for me. I like the way Dave sings parts of it and his little noises he makes in it, just like in many other songs. Sometimes you just like a song because you like it. Most of my favorite Dave/DMB songs are slower songs like Some Devil, Typical, Seek Up..... and although they all jam in their own way (some even better in some ways) none of them inspire me to dance in the middle of my living room like a fool. Bayou does that. How could I not love it?
