I've probably watched this about 100 times now. sometimes for entertainment other times to study and learn the guitar parts; so I figured it was time to comment. Wow. Absolutely killer set and a perfect mix. Is anyone else totally obsessed with this?

[@killurbob3295]

Yep. Come back to watch the master time and time again

[@toad9964]

yes, lol. I’m so obsessed.

[@AGL888]

Love it. Always come back to it. He’s so good. Small town in Australia can only hope he’d come play here again one day.

[@AXELAX]

@@AGL888 He played a few shows in the UK earlier this year and I am absolutely kicking myself that I missed him.

[@yellowclouds3722]

Golden Mile is so big! I've discovered this song here several years ago. Never lost its beauty - so deep & great chords. Sadly the string on his 12string broke after that track.

[@tohu777]

Rossen is a monster: even his unreleased songs are far beyond what many another artist would release proudly. And that last, unnamed song is maybe the most powerful...

Dan always stands out in my mind as THE MUSICIAN I wish I could tell how much his art has improved my life. I will occasionally find myself tripping on the idea that the people who’ve made the music I love, aren’t making enough off their art to survive. Dan is always at the top of that list. Like, if Dan isn’t making a living from this, then the world is just fucked. It’s a genuine feeling that consumes me at times.

[@moophette9457]

Truly, I concur--the fact such visceral phonic beauty can be crushed in the folds of a world wrought with so much despair and pain is discouraging, suffice to say. However ironically, I find the best remedy to this feeling time and time again is his music. A testament to his perseverance and quality as an artist in that he still creates increasingly beautiful music. Cold comfort maybe, but enough.

[@rubercoober]

Man, that main riff in Golden Mile on the 12 string almost sounds like a violin accompanying the guitar. Wild.

[@yellowclouds3722]

[@Rpodnee]

I was completely entranced by his performance. I see a passion in his music that I don't see in other artists music. And it's so genuine and heartfelt. He's really a treasure.

[@AGL888]

He’s still in another musical galaxy some of us wish we could touch, let alone comprehend writing masterpiece songs like that, the amount pure love and gentleness in his voice, the ups and downs of his guitar and the originality of his chords/sound. What a legend of a song writer. It’s bloody amazing, he out of anyone might like to know we’re still listening and love it.

I’m so glad that this video exists. I don’t know how many times I’ve played it. I don’t even know how this radio host remained so calm, especially as a fan, she had a private show to herself practically. I probably would have lost all ability to function.

[@polish_king98]

Same here. I would be absolutely dumbstruck in the company of him. He's the biggest inspiration for my own music. Would never have the same love of music if it weren't for him and Grizzly Bear.
