The best live song I’ve ever heard…saw him last Saturday @ the 9:30 Club in DC. I’ll put Josh right on par with Dylan in his prime. I’ve never seen a more genuine, sincere live performance…the guy is magical.
Josh has such great charm & class…why can’t more rock musicians have this vibe…always a pleasure to watch him & the band…(a fan in Milwaukee…)…
I’m going to see him for the 1st ever in 6 days!!! Something tells me I’m about to be even more hooked on this guy…if that’s even possible. I think he’s our generations closest thing to Bob Dylan.
i love this guy, he is just freakin awesome,HIS NEW ALBUM IS COMING OUT TOMMOROW. I ALREADY HEARD A FEW TRACKS OF IT AND THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!
That last drum fill was sexy…
Awesome performance.
@CrazySurferChic I just noticed how jolly he is….brilliant!!! Hes so frigin funny!!
amazing, but the drummer is slightly TOO happy for my comfort!
amazing performance!!!!
amazing song!
hes from my town too! which means we must be from the same town
Saw him perform this at the Wiltern Nov. 19th 2009. Pretty wild performance so much fun!
he’s from my town! i saw him this summer in my own small town and i see him again in 2 weeks
0:52 that drummer’s having a good time! lol who wouldn’t though jammin’ with ritter?
this guy makes me want to cut off the computer, throw my televison out the window and just write more and more songs… he is off the chain
I don’t remember when I last saw a band have this much fun while performing.
god like
Yes agreed
Such a belting performance of an excellent. Ritter is just amazing; lyrically and melodically!! He deserves much more attention than he gets.
I can’t decide which performance was better, Ritter on Letterman or “Song for the Road” by David Ford on Last Call w/ Carson.
In between the apples and chloroform. Great lyricist. Thanks for posting!
Such a nice guy. A gift and a blessing to the music world.
Saw him live last year – EXCELLENT!!
hehehe look at his first time on letterman. He was scared as! Now look at this !!! Genius
David, dont let anyone on your show twice
They get cocky!!! 
He is much much better than Dylan, hands down
