He’s just amazing! Wonderful to rediscover him.

[@danieljulian4676]

I'm stunned. I think it's his phaser. What a blast from the past.

[@LadyArtemis62]

kottke always makes for a great week

[@JzeroSG]

This first appeared on the 1978 Burnt Lips album. In my opinion, one of his finest.

[@CFLanger]

thankyou jpiir, I really enjoyed that. What a way to end a shit week, hearing some classic Kottke.

[@BerrysJSRD]

I think I account for at least 800 of the views here I just can't get enough of this tune. THANX!

[@musicaldun1]

Whoa, man! Melody, rhythm, a bass line, a feel of percussion...one dude...one guitar. Blows my mind.

+allen dunn kottke's awesome man just went to see him in Napa ca he 70 and he's still playing good

[@julieberkowitz2750]

I had the good fortune of meeting him. He recorded one of my boyfriend’s songs. What a guy. What a sense of humor. ❤

[@philturner6642]

The man is a legend a true artist.

[@Blackgrass1]

From his phaser years. Yup, I remember now.

[@dsuleyma]

thumbs up to that!

[@JzeroSG]

Great, thanks for sharing this - I've been waiting to see this performed live for ages. I had a teaser through Stropes' advert but the full length versions are never aired unless you are a paying student.

[@samswank]

I saw him use a phaser years and years ago. He called it the "nauseator".

[@BerrysJSRD]

He was younger here and plays with the more edgy sound of his early career. I saw him last summer and he has a much mellower sound on the same great compositions.

[@achtsieben87]

I've seen him twice in concert, but neither time did he play this song. It's good to see that he does perform this live, as I think it is one of his better songs. The pick attack of the recorded version seems to get lost here.

[@sundiver137]

On the studio version he was still using fingerpicks. A severe case of tendonitis made him quit using picks and he had to adopt the classical-style right-hand technique.

[@rangerray1965]

Kottke's much better now than he was then.

[@13Orcun]

i think it contains several different melody to feed with irregular rhythm and using different levels of sounds. i think this piece must be searched or thought much in academical level. There is an almost orchestral quality with only one guitar.

[@nihadtp539]

Is he using a pedal or something? Why is sound so different?
