was Dave's,

00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:14,551
a marathon guitar playing, 114 hours.
40
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:17,011

[upbeat folk music]
44
00:02:23,893 --> 00:02:25,812
[woman] When they first did
the world records,
45
00:02:25,895 --> 00:02:28,690
{\an8}they came up with it
and everyone got involved in it,
46
00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:31,025
and then they were talking again,
47
00:02:31,109 --> 00:02:33,778
and they were saying,
"How are we gonna beat this one?
48
00:02:33,862 --> 00:02:35,363
How are we gonna beat the next one?"
49
00:02:35,446 --> 00:02:36,823
{\an8}And he says, "We're going to go
50
00:02:36,906 --> 00:02:39,450
{\an8}and do every, every state in America."
51
00:02:39,534 --> 00:02:41,578
{\an8}You know, once again
they're embarking on something
52
00:02:41,661 --> 00:02:43,955
{\an8}that's just, y'know,
it's larger than life.
53
00:02:44,038 --> 00:02:47,083
{\an8}I was like, just even
the logistics of that,
54
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:48,334
{\an8}what are you talking about?
55
00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:49,794
That's, that's--
56
00:02:49,878 --> 00:02:51,504
I mean, I've covered in Ireland
57
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:53,631
in the back of the van
with 'em, and it's hard work.
58
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:54,966
Y'know what I'm saying?
59
00:02:55,049 --> 00:02:57,844
{\an8}People only talk
about doing what they're doing,
60
00:02:57,927 --> 00:03:00,680
{\an8}y'know, most people
won't get up and do it.
61
00:03:00,763 --> 00:03:02,724
World records aren't easy,
62
00:03:02,807 --> 00:03:05,727
that's why they're called world records,
only a few people have them.
63
00:03:05,810 --> 00:03:08,187
We wanted to see the States,
we wanted to tour the States.
64
00:03:08,271 --> 00:03:11,274
Looked up the record, it was
50 gigs, 50 states in 50 days.
65
00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:14,068
It's like, I can do this,
we can do this, no problem.
66
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:16,404
{\an8}That they pitched this very crazy idea
67
00:03:16,487 --> 00:03:20,158
{\an8}of doing this Guinness World Record
breaking tour
68
00:03:20,241 --> 00:03:23,161
of hitting every state
with at least one gig
69
00:03:23,244 --> 00:03:24,454
in less than 40 days.
70
00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:26,414
Nobody has ever done that before.
71
00:03:26,497 --> 00:03:29,208
No individual, no group, no artist.
72
00:03:29,292 --> 00:03:30,710
Okay, here's the idea,
73
00:03:30,793 --> 00:03:33,129
we're gonna start in our home venue,
our home ground,
74
00:03:33,212 --> 00:03:35,298
which is Ri Ra Las Vegas
in the Mandalay Bay.
75
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:38,343
[Dave] And we're going to end
in Arlene's Grocery in New York City.
76
00:03:38,426 --> 00:03:42,889
And every single state in between,
every nook and clanny and…
77
00:03:42,972 --> 00:03:44,641
A clanny? [laughs]
78
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:46,100
A clanny, did I say clanny?
79
00:03:46,184 --> 00:03:47,727
[laughs] Nook and cranny.
80
00:03:48,686 --> 00:03:50,897
[John] Yeah, I mean, you know
we're set to go here
81
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:53,524
in less than an hour, and we just
need to know from your team
82
00:03:53,608 --> 00:03:55,818
exactly how we're supposed
to document all this
83
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:58,529
and all the things we've been
talking about for a while.
84
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:03,576
Guinness did not confirm
this world record before we started.
85
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,411
The big questions
that we've had from them
86
00:04:05,495 --> 00:04:08,373
is what exactly constitutes a gig,
87
00:04:08,456 --> 00:04:10,833
how many people have to be
at every venue,
88
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:13,211
and how exactly do they want us
to keep track of this,
89
00:04:13,294 --> 00:04:16,422
so we make sure that we
actually earn this world record
90
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:18,758
at the end
of this monumental journey.
91
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:21,469
We were on the phone
92
00:04:21,552 --> 00:04:25,265
about four or five months
prior to this putting together,
93
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:28,059
ringing the venues,
"How you doing, this is what we're doing,"
94
00:04:28,142 --> 00:04:29,686
introducing ourselves,
95
00:04:29,769 --> 00:04:31,854
telling them exactly
what we were looking for.
96
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:33,898
{\an8}The Daves have taken
an incredible amount of time
97
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:37,193
{\an8}to stitch this thing together. It's
a dream, it's a dream that they have,
98
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:40,655
but it's an incredible
amount of territory to cover,
99
00:04:40,738 --> 00:04:43,408
60 places in 40 days.
100
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:46,035
That takes an incredible amount
of planning and logistics.
101
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:48,204
I got this, I got this!
102
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:51,124
That's how you pack, and these are
very essential, aren't they?
103
00:04:51,207 --> 00:04:53,126
-[Aisha] Okay, throw those in!
-[Dave] Okay.
104
00:04:53,209 --> 00:04:57,130
When Dave mentions a new world record,
I do cry a little bit inside.
105
00:04:57,213 --> 00:05:01,092
[Aisha] Oh, Ziggy, do you get sad
when the suitcase comes out?
106
00:05:01,175 --> 00:05:03,428
The first time we had
been together a year,
107
00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:06,306
and it was for five days
and it was a long five days.
108
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:09,475
He was obviously 24 hours
during that time.
109
00:05:09,559 --> 00:05:12,729
And after that I said
to him, if you do another one,
110
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:14,147
do it shorter.
111
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:16,774
But then he went on to 21 days,
112
00:05:16,858 --> 00:05:21,237
and then the next one
obviously was this one.
113
00:05:22,613 --> 00:05:24,699
-Can I have one of the--
-[Dave] Who's your favorite?
114
00:05:24,782 --> 00:05:26,492
-Daddy.
-That's what I want to hear.
115
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:28,578
-Mommy.
-Mommy, Mommy.
116
00:05:28,661 --> 00:05:30,997
Mommy be your favorite
for the next five weeks.
117
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,791
Some people turn around and say,
"How do you do that?
118
00:05:33,875 --> 00:05:37,587
How, he's gone all
the time or he travels." It's a job.
119
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:39,672
You just accept it,
it's our way of life.
120
00:05:39,756 --> 00:05:42,967
If you don't work towards
something together,
121
00:05:43,051 --> 00:05:44,010
it's not gonna work.
122
00:05:44,093 --> 00:05:47,096
All of this. [laughing]
123
00:05:49,474 --> 00:05:53,102
We had no idea
what we were in for.
124
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:55,813
We thought we did, but we didn't.
125
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:59,150
[Dave] All right, folks,
getting ready to start off here.
126
00:05:59,233 --> 00:06:00,693
First, we'd like to thank everybody
127
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:02,278
for turning up today for our played gig.

129
00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:06,449

such a show of support here.

131
00:06:07,992 --> 00:06:11,204
[Dave] We are very, very grateful,
so thank you for that.
132
00:06:11,287 --> 00:06:12,663
Okay, and we think we're ready,
133
00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:15,124
we're not actually sure
whether we are or not.
134
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:18,795
Um, all right, okay, let's do this
and see what happens!
135
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:20,004
Thank you.
136
00:06:21,422 --> 00:06:25,384
Wanna see your hands going
up, up, up, up, up, up!

[light acoustic guitar music]
138
00:06:28,262 --> 00:06:30,848
[Dave] The launch was great, our friends,
our families were down.
139
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:32,892
People from Vegas
and Ri Ra looked after everyone.
140
00:06:32,975 --> 00:06:35,812
It was a great vibe
and we felt really good
141
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:37,814
and was thinking
okay, this is the start,
142
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:39,607
let's go up from here.
143
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:50,993
Stuff I don't want is that
we wasn't ready and we knew it.
144
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:52,912
We were looking down
from the stage.
145
00:06:52,995 --> 00:06:54,997
The driver was still sitting
in the bar going like,
146
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:56,415
"We don't have a van."
147
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:57,834
[Dave] We don't have an RV.
148
00:06:57,917 --> 00:07:00,419
We already started, we kicked off
the record, you can't stop,
149
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:02,672
if you stop, you've lost the record.
150
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:06,884
We were standing
at the car, and you just like,
151
00:07:06,968 --> 00:07:08,386
"Fuck this, let's just go."
152
00:07:12,473 --> 00:07:14,725
[Dave] We drove in my car
for the first state,
153
00:07:14,809 --> 00:07:17,311
ya know, just to get the job done
'cause the show must go on.
154
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:40,960
Oh, yeah!
155
00:07:41,043 --> 00:07:44,672
[all cheering]
156
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:48,843
[Dave] Anyway, eventually
we got it sorted out,
157
00:07:48,926 --> 00:07:52,972
so at least we know then
that we've got wheels to move on, so.
158
00:07:54,765 --> 00:07:58,519
[crowd chattering]
159
00:07:58,603 --> 00:08:00,021
Now that's a hectic day.
160
00:08:00,688 --> 00:08:06,736
[upbeat acoustic guitar music]
161
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,780
[Dave] We're sitting
the back of this RV.
162
00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,991
[Dave] Never been in an RV before.
-[Dave] Ever.
163
00:08:12,074 --> 00:08:15,912
And we picked the bedroom
at the back of the RV to sleep on,
164
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:17,497
we thought we were being smart.
165
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:19,957
The RV, and I'm not joking you,
it was going like this.
166
00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:23,127
And I was going up and down,
bouncing off the mattress.
167
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:24,962
An hour and a half

Apart from doing the gigs and all of
the preparation that we went through
507
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:20,227
and all of the ups and downs,
508
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:24,606
man, it was getting,
it was getting, it was falling to shit.
509
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:27,651
[narrator] These people
are preparing for an important step,
510
00:25:28,485 --> 00:25:29,861
a commission to citizenship.
511
00:25:30,695 --> 00:25:33,990
So during the tour, I was waiting
for my permanent resident card.
512
00:25:34,074 --> 00:25:36,785
I'd applied, it takes--
it's an arduous process,
513
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:40,455
it used to take about six months,
now it takes nearly a year.
514
00:25:40,538 --> 00:25:42,958
[man] It really doesn't matter which
end of that border you're coming through,
515
00:25:43,041 --> 00:25:44,668
you have the same hoops
to jump through,
516
00:25:44,751 --> 00:25:47,212
{\an8}whether you're coming
from overseas or Canada.
517
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,423
{\an8}Um, very expensive through attorneys
and getting everything
518
00:25:50,507 --> 00:25:52,884
{\an8}and all of the paperwork has to be done
just like anyone else.
519
00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:55,178
{\an8}You could have
a very nervous few years
520
00:25:55,262 --> 00:25:56,846
{\an8}as an Irish person in America
521
00:25:56,930 --> 00:26:00,225
{\an8}when you don't have
the right documentation.
522
00:26:00,308 --> 00:26:01,559
You're there by right,
523
00:26:01,643 --> 00:26:03,895
but you don't know if you're
gonna be allowed to stay there
524
00:26:03,979 --> 00:26:06,940
'cause also it's stressful,
if you go home for a family occasion,
525
00:26:07,023 --> 00:26:08,817
you might not get back into the country.
526
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:12,445
And these are Irish people,
good tax-paying Irish people,
527
00:26:12,529 --> 00:26:14,239
these aren't illegals.
528
00:26:14,322 --> 00:26:16,992
{\an8}I hear right now we have
some people in the White House
529
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:20,036
{\an8}that they almost want
to make everybody believe
530
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:23,873
that immigration
is a problem for us to solve,
531
00:26:24,666 --> 00:26:27,627
when actually immigration
is an opportunity
532
00:26:27,711 --> 00:26:29,879
for America to seize.
533
00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:32,966
It was a long process
but one well worth it for me.
534
00:26:33,049 --> 00:26:35,176
[light acoustic guitar music]
535
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:37,554
[airplane engine whirring]
536
00:26:42,183 --> 00:26:45,687
It was a sunny sky,
and as we drove up to Montgomery…
537
00:26:46,396 --> 00:26:47,856
The heavens opened.
538
00:26:48,898 --> 00:26:50,608
This is an Irish summer, look.
539
00:26:50,692 --> 00:26:52,694
There you go, you got the water,
540
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:54,738
we got some, we got some lightning.
541
00:26:54,821 --> 00:26:57,365
-[thunder crackles]
-And we got that!
542
00:26:58,408 --> 00:27:01,745
We were set up to play right here,
on the bandstand here.
543
00:27:01,828 --> 00:27:04,164
-Uh…
-Down in Texas, baby!
544
00:27:04,247 --> 00:27:06,875
[laughing]
545
00:27:06,958 --> 00:27:09,669
-Oh, yeah!
-[Dave] Normally very picturesque,
546
00:27:09,753 --> 00:27:12,547
but wouldn't you know,
if The Black Donnellys' touring a place,
547
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:14,758
it goes to shit. [laughing]
548
00:27:14,841 --> 00:27:16,760
[Dave] Every venue that we went to
549
00:27:16,843 --> 00:27:19,304
when we're on the way,
we'd give them a courtesy call.
550
00:27:19,387 --> 00:27:23,433
[Dave] I just had your date from the start
and that was today, y'know?
551
00:27:24,267 --> 00:27:27,312
-I didn't have another date for you.
-[woman] That's in the email…
552
00:27:27,395 --> 00:27:30,231
And I'm looking
at the email now and it's saying
553
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:33,943
we'll hit Arkansas approximately
the 28th or the 29th of May.
554
00:27:34,611 --> 00:27:36,863
And she said, "Well, we're
not open on them days."
555
00:27:36,946 --> 00:27:39,366
I said,
"What about the Tuesday beforehand?"
556
00:27:40,533 --> 00:27:43,578
and she thought I meant
the Tuesday afterward.
557
00:27:43,661 --> 00:27:48,166
There's no, uh, contract signed,
there's no nothing, and it's like
558
00:27:48,249 --> 00:27:51,753
"Oh, yeah, that doesn't suit me,
I'm not doing it, yeah, no."
559
00:27:52,587 --> 00:27:53,922
And here's where we cry.
560
00:27:54,005 --> 00:27:55,632
[laughing]
561
00:27:57,175 --> 00:27:58,426
Oh, man.
562
00:27:59,803 --> 00:28:01,596
Lady gone,
"No, no, that doesn't work for me,"
563
00:28:01,679 --> 00:28:04,933
she absolutely just turned,
ya know, there and then.
564
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:08,061
We got you guys scheduled,
we promoted big time
565
00:28:08,144 --> 00:28:11,022
and here we are we got
a power outage in downtown Sioux Falls.
566
00:28:11,106 --> 00:28:14,150
This is every day, nothing changes.
567
00:28:14,901 --> 00:28:16,486
I think God wakes up
in the morning and go
568
00:28:16,569 --> 00:28:18,154
"What'll I do to these fuckers today?"
569
00:28:19,614 --> 00:28:21,366
The wheels were well
and truly coming off.
570
00:28:21,449 --> 00:28:22,659
[Dave groans]
571
00:28:22,742 --> 00:28:23,785
[man] Can you patch it?
572
00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:29,165
We'll see how far down the road
we can get with this.
573
00:28:29,249 --> 00:28:31,584
Hopefully it'll get us
40 miles back to the hotel.
574
00:28:31,668 --> 00:28:35,588
Everything seemed to start
of kind of crumble, ya know.
575
00:28:35,672 --> 00:28:38,508
Ah, we were having problems
with our RV at that time as well.
576
00:28:38,591 --> 00:28:40,719
We tried to get a new one,
we were denied that.
577
00:28:40,802 --> 00:28:42,887
One stage we were playing for food.
578
00:28:42,971 --> 00:28:44,723
Yeah, at one stage
we were playing for food,
579
00:28:44,806 --> 00:28:48,727
just to feed the crew
and hopefully sell a few CDs
580
00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:50,145
so that we could get gas.
581
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:51,521
Ah, close, you fuck.
582
00:28:52,981 --> 00:28:54,232
We've 25…
583
00:28:54,941 --> 00:28:58,403
We've 25… [laughing]
584
00:28:58,486 --> 00:29:01,781
We've 25 dollars
left in our account
585
00:29:01,865 --> 00:29:06,870
for two fucking weeks
and we've three weeks to go.
586
00:29:06,953 --> 00:29:08,329
[laughing]
587
00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:12,208
We really were starting to feel
like "Okay, we shouldn't be doing this."
588
00:29:12,292 --> 00:29:16,588
We were in dire straights
and we had to think of something.
589
00:29:16,671 --> 00:29:20,759
What I wanted to say was we
do have a new GoFundMe page,
590
00:29:20,842 --> 00:29:24,846
which is, has been, it is live right now.
591
00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:27,474
We're looking
for support from all our fans
592
00:29:27,557 --> 00:29:28,808
and all people that know us.
593
00:29:28,892 --> 00:29:30,727
[Dave] We are The Black Donnellys.
594
00:29:30,810 --> 00:29:33,229
We exude resilience,
we get the job done,
595
00:29:33,313 --> 00:29:35,106
we're pretty proud
of what we can do,
596
00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:38,568
and we have to start
asking people for money,
597
00:29:38,651 --> 00:29:40,028
and that did not feel good.
598
00:29:40,111 --> 00:29:42,572
[Dave] It felt pretty shit,
to be honest with you.
599
00:29:42,655 --> 00:29:47,827
-But it absolutely 100% saved…
-Saved our bacon.
600
00:29:47,911 --> 00:29:54,501
[upbeat folk music]
601
00:29:54,584 --> 00:29:55,960
[Dave] Take it away!
602
00:30:04,427 --> 00:30:05,470
[Dave] At this stage…
603
00:30:05,553 --> 00:30:08,389
{\an8}At the time, $200, $300, $400
made a huge difference.
604
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:09,307
{\an8}Yeah, monster!
605
00:30:22,111 --> 00:30:25,365
We now need to do a Kansas gig
and a Missouri gig
606
00:30:25,448 --> 00:30:27,575
in order to stay on track
on our schedule.
607
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:31,120
We would play here
and the SUV would take off
608
00:30:31,204 --> 00:30:32,205
and go somewhere else.
609
00:30:32,288 --> 00:30:34,082
We'd be drive
somewhere else to the gig.
610
00:30:34,165 --> 00:30:35,500
Everyone was phoning each other.
611
00:30:35,583 --> 00:30:37,794
I'm trying to get
a couple of gigs tonight.
612
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:43,132
No.
613
00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:58,982
[Dave] One, two, three, four!
614
00:30:59,065 --> 00:31:03,069
{\an8}[Dave] The support has been fantastic,
but we do need that support ongoing.
615
00:31:03,152 --> 00:31:05,154
{\an8}[Dave] It was like a soap opera,
they would watch it
616
00:31:05,238 --> 00:31:07,198
{\an8}and watched what we were doing every day,
617
00:31:07,282 --> 00:31:09,826
{\an8}and everybody came to each day with us.
618
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:26,551
It was all the well-wishing
as well that we got on.
619
00:31:26,634 --> 00:31:28,887
And all the positivity
online and people saying,
620
00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:31,097
"Keep going, lads,
you're gonna get there."
621
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:35,018
We had huge support from people,
that really propelled us on.
622
00:31:44,527 --> 00:31:49,449
{\an8}We're going to the post office.
We got our CDs and our T-shirts.
623
00:31:49,532 --> 00:31:50,867
{\an8}So we're mailing these to…
624
00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:53,870
{\an8}-All the lovely people…
-Our GoFundMe supporters.
625
00:31:58,374 --> 00:31:59,375
[Dave] Go!
626
00:32:14,849 --> 00:32:17,560
[Dave] We're doing something
nobody else has ever done.
627
00:32:17,644 --> 00:32:20,521
That's the thing you gotta keep
in your minds, nobody has done this.
628
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:22,231
And we were all in it.
629
00:32:22,315 --> 00:32:23,274
We were all in.
630
00:32:27,153 --> 00:32:28,738
How you doing, folks?
631
00:32:28,821 --> 00:32:31,366
We just coming into Clinton
to play at Boxcars.
632
00:32:31,449 --> 00:32:33,242
We got a police escort
into the town here,
633
00:32:33,326 --> 00:32:35,078
in front of us
we got the fire engine
634
00:32:35,161 --> 00:32:37,872
and we have
the local police car as well.
635
00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:39,874
Um, get a load of this.
636
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:42,085

00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:51,928
-[crew member] Dave is like a little boy.
-[Dave] Woo.
640
00:32:52,011 --> 00:32:54,806
This is the first time
we've ever gotten an escort,
641
00:32:54,889 --> 00:32:56,516
this is cool, really cool.
642
00:32:57,308 --> 00:32:58,518
[Dave] Woo!
643
00:32:58,601 --> 00:33:00,937
[all laughing]

00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:02,689

-I say hit it, don't be afraid of it!

648
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:28,715
[crowd cheering]
649
00:33:28,798 --> 00:33:31,759
[Dave] When you get a chance
to actually play your own style of gig
650
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:34,554
and your own way to play it
where it's a particular event
651
00:33:34,637 --> 00:33:36,347
where people actually
come to see you play,
652
00:33:36,431 --> 00:33:38,766
it's not just your--
getting your ego off
653
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,560
or you're getting your balls off about it,
654
00:33:40,643 --> 00:33:42,437
there's something,
that's what the magic is.
655
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,980
That's what you want it to be.
656
00:33:44,063 --> 00:33:47,108
And to play in front of people
who listen to what you're playing,
657
00:33:47,191 --> 00:33:48,443
there's no better feeling.
658
00:34:05,084 --> 00:34:07,545
[Dave] And when you stand
on a stage for two hours
659
00:34:07,628 --> 00:34:09,338
playing what you want to play,
660
00:34:10,006 --> 00:34:11,299
nothing else matters.
661
00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:17,513
[cheering]
662
00:34:18,598 --> 00:34:20,975
Oh, that was fucking fantastic.
663
00:34:22,810 --> 00:34:24,312
Thank you very much!
664
00:34:26,647 --> 00:34:28,649
So we had
a really good gig tonight,
665
00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:30,068
what a great town.
666
00:34:30,151 --> 00:34:32,653
The crowd here were just fantastic.
667
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:35,281
We sold an awful lot of merch and CDs,
668
00:34:35,364 --> 00:34:36,741
everyone knows our songs.
669
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:38,951
It's given us a little bit
of a lift tonight
670
00:34:39,035 --> 00:34:41,370
because we've been struggling.
671
00:34:41,454 --> 00:34:44,624
We haven't been able to show,

as a band
as we know we can be, y'know?
673
00:34:47,293 --> 00:34:49,670
And tonight was a pure…
674
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:51,130
[Dave] It was injection tonight.
675

They want to hear what you're doing,
we're not background,
676
00:34:53,925 --> 00:34:56,594
we're not trying to force us on them,
and it's a gig,

[Dave] Being a musician is tough.

Now there's a lot of people
that think that, they look at it
680
00:35:03,351 --> 00:35:06,687
and they see the whole grand ol'
"You're there, singing my songs."
681
00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:08,648
They don't see what goes behind that.

physically demanding.

[man] You always kind of tick the boxes,
689
00:35:24,413 --> 00:35:26,874
{\an8}look after your voice
when you're doing seven nights a week,
690
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:28,251
{\an8}and that's only one show a night.
691
00:35:28,334 --> 00:35:29,752
{\an8}Not three or four a day,

are doing, y'know?

Just with the frustration
of the traveling getting in,

00:35:34,215 --> 00:35:36,467
y'know, someone wants to sleep
and someone can't sleep.

things can be magnified.

of the American dream is similar

{\an8}to the pursuit
of the musician's dream.
699
00:35:47,562 --> 00:35:48,729
It can be tough out there
700
00:35:48,813 --> 00:35:51,315
and it can be lonely,
and you miss home,
701
00:35:51,399 --> 00:35:53,317
you miss your family,
your support network.
702
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:57,488
So you really seek that connection
and that comfort with your audience.
703

We've walked into bars
where you thought you could try it

Listening to all this stuff by people
like Bill Monroe and George Jones,

And sometimes you have
a moment where you think,

"Why did this ship set sail
before we had a framework?"

But we're here now
and we're gonna finish it.

A dream is one thing
and it's great to dream,

planning all this stuff,
1014

1015
00:51:42,432 --> 00:51:45,101
we're gonna do this and then we're
gonna do this, and then we were like,
1016

to go and do it."

We have lost our scheduled gig
in Delaware,
1020
00:51:54,569 --> 00:51:56,571

need to cover every state.

[Dave] We've always had
an idea of what America was,
1033

but through this trip
and through this tour
1034
00:52:32,899 --> 00:52:34,401

1035

to understanding what America
was all about.

Actually is, yeah.
1037
00:52:38,405 --> 00:52:41,616

in between what they want you to believe
and what has actually happened.
1045

There's a huge devoid there.

What's surreal,
looking at that building now,
1047

To pursue your dream,
you gotta work on it.

That was the idea.

If we keep working, working at it,
then our dream will happen.

Y'know, to me it's
honestly to be able to do

just to be totally Irish,

[Dave] Augustus Saint-Gaudens from Dublin.

His mother was Irish.

[Dave] It's amazing, we've traveled
1347
01:07:37,303 --> 01:07:40,014
across the country in an RV
and we're moaning about it
1348
01:07:40,097 --> 01:07:42,558
and what to do and all that,
and whatever we did.

one of the-- John Boyle O'Reilly,
1351
01:07:49,982 --> 01:07:52,943
one of the great writers,
said that the Atlantic Ocean
1352
01:07:53,027 --> 01:07:54,820
was a bowl of tears.
1353
01:07:55,738 --> 01:07:59,283
So it must have been absolutely
horrendous to deal with.
1354
01:07:59,366 --> 01:08:01,577
And not only that they'd come from hell
1355
01:08:01,660 --> 01:08:05,372
and they'd come over here,
and still going through hell.
