Justin Townes Earle 2018 Raleigh (Full Show)

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

I’ve lost many of my favorite artists over my 54 years, but every time I watch Justin I wanna get drunk and just cry. So much awesomeness in such a short time. We love and miss you so much brother!

[@sheflower22]

I do that. 🥺

[@cramedaddy8402]

Same brother.

[@langstongrandma]

Still can't get over him. Please, God, let him rest in peace, knowing how much we love him.

[@timbernard8783]

I love reading these comments as it reminds me I'm not alone in my sorrow for this amazing artist that was taken from us too soon.

[@at_brunch3852]

Same.

[@paulkang6842]

I'd love to be able to play like him

[@sheflower22]

If it were possible to wear out a video on KZbin, this one would be ashes… 💔❤️‍🩹

[@tracilynn2029]

Got to see him again in October of last year and took my 15 year old niece to experience him live. As I was driving her home I told her it was weighing heavy on my heart that he was wasted. I didn't know he was spiralling again before that night and it hit extra hard I guess. Made it my mission after that to youtube videos of his shows starting around springish 2019 when I noticed his wife had all but vanished from his posts on Instagram and up to early 2020 to see when the signs started showing and just how bad his live shows were being affected and was so bummed. Still didn't prepare me for the absolute crush his death has been to my soul. To see him still wearing his wedding ring and sober is the BEST. Seriously dude, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing your videos with us. 💜😭💔

[@kumeu7]

Yes in going back on videos there is a noticeable change from about march 2019, some show coughing and shortness of breath, a report released since passing said he had hospital treatment for pneumonia and had had an operation for it and was still very unwell recovering at home. Sad to lose such a talent and genuine person, it appears to be been preventable but crazy times everywhere with covid😓

[@lurk7967]

Weighing heavy on your heart, I mean Justin was who was he was don't feel bad because of the way he chose to live his life and dont focus on the way it ended be happy it happened in the first place and you got to see him. Not trying to be rude I understand what you are saying and its okay to feel bad but at the end of the day this is what he chose and Persoanlly I think we he have to respect that..... even if we dont agree with it.

[@marquettegloves9907]

@@lurk7967 What a callous thing to say. What are you talking about? Dying from drugs wasn't the life he chose. It's not like choosing to be a milkman, he was an addict. This wasn't his intention. He was sober for at least 8 of the last 10 years of his life. Clearly he cared and fought it as best he could.

[@at_brunch3836]

@@marquettegloves9907 Thank you for saying that. His life was not easy from childhood and he had a soft heart. It's in his eyes, movements and songs.

[@lurk7967]

@@marquettegloves9907 I think you are totally missing my point... Im saying don't focus on the fact that he was an addict..... Im aware that he was "sober" for a long time but if you really think it was 8 years out of the last 10 then I guess you believe everything you read... You can say its a callous thing to say but after his passing have commented on a lot of videos and had chances to talk to people that knew him and if you think what I say about him while grieving is callous Then what they say about him will break your heart, and frankly, I don't think you are ready for it! I will admit I replied to this comment a bit too much... I just don't understand why she would tell her 15-year old niece that it was weighing heavy on her heart that he was using. Cant, we have enough respect for the man to not circle everything back to his substance use. If you were in his shoes wouldn't you hate that! that's all I was trying to say with that comment and you can call it callous or whatever you want but I find a lot of people making comments like this and that's fine different people grieve differently. I guess this is how I grieve... Anyways I love you If you don't understand what I'm saying it doesn't matter!

[@jerryarm4160]

Holly Fuck, he was amazing!!! How did I miss this cat that was just across the river? Damn it RIP brother.

[@time-out-tuti-fruti5142]

Sadly he died in debt. Medical added other debts. There’s a go fund me page for a college find for his little girl Etta. Any one who may have bought a ticket to a gig or is making money out of likes for his music or just wishing to help in some way could donate this into the go fund me account.

[@GR-sg2lv]

He should be honored into the Music hall of fame ( he prob wouldn't want the title... but he deserves it )

[@at_brunch3852]

I agree. He is one of a kind for real. I miss him like everyone else. 😔

[@michaelcollins6943]

Missing JTE tonight. Got see him twice. Such amazing talent. Rest easy. RIP.

[@jenniferherring8901]

I’ve been so sad over him. I’m heartbroken I’ll never get to see him live. This helps. I’m going to a JTE show tonight in my living room. I’ll take what I can get. Thanks for posting. 💔

@jenniferhering,,im a jennifer as well who loves Justin...seen him live 8 times...he was ALWAYS the most beautiful the most accomidating dude,,,so happy..so real he made me feel ok...for fuck sake...peace to you Justin and Jennifer..

[@jamiehyde5425]

Let's have a virtual gig. We'll enjoy music, laughs, drinks. We should do it in a way JTE would appreciate. He's gone but his music and presence hasn't.

[@ryandugan6131]

That Lightnin' Hopkins cover of "My Starter Won't Start" is completely mind-blowing. What a loss. Still gutted over JTE's departure.

[@ScrambinJack]

I see Townes shining through

[@margaretgraves5109]

Oh I need to put it on the start again ❤️

I love his recipe for sweet tea! R.I.P., dear Justin. You will be missed.

Love those stories he tells. Gonna try that sweet tea recipe 😋

[@at_brunch3836]

Absolutely magical !!!!

[@Goodmh1]

I love, love, loved JTE. I'm only just now getting to the point I can watch videos of him. What a shame and what an amazing gift.

[@hfm2374]

Was supposed to have seen JTE last March 2020 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and then the world got flipped upside down. Gonna haunt me forever not getting to see him live but his music will live on. South Georgia Sugar Babe will always be favorite, reminds me of growing up there along I-I6 and Savannah, GA. RIP Justin Townes Earle!

[@nashvillejan]

Thank you for the perfect tribute. So young, so gifted . . . . so sad.

[@michaeloneal1300]

Thank you for sharing.

Legend

[@tmidd12]

Man..he was in top form in this year. I saw him in Virginia around this time. His playing was great, singing great and his stage presence was just captivating. So funny, so witty…brighter than fuck…this was also like a stand up event! His confidence was like “man I’m so glad this guy has pulled himself together because this guy has finally arrived amongst the very best” This was the next Waylon. 😞

[@OldWildGerry]

Es ist so bedauerlich JTE nicht mehr unter uns zu haben. Ich habe ihn sehr gemocht und höre all seine CDs regelmässig.

[@acidtripstu]

Thanks for sharing this Dan its really appreciated he was a great songwriter, and sorely missed by all

[@RobertSlover]

oh man what a bummer. one of my absolute favorite modern songwriters im a sad song sucker and his were some of the best. thanks for sharing iv really enjoyed your uploads.

[@thijsderoo]

Thanks for the slowmo!! It finally made me see clearly how he plays! Resting his thumb not on the bass string but just above it!

[@Arossi8753]

JTE day today, 3 years man. I dont get upset aboit aongers passing but this one hurt. Happy to jave foind this performance tonight

[@at_brunch3852]

Same. I’m in Canada. Saw his dad here & found out he had this amazing son. 😭

[@joshuabrookfield2806]

Amazing set, amazing man, your a hero for posting this ❤️

[@sheflower22]

Like so many others, apparently, I’m heartbroken over the loss of him and of his beautiful, intensely honest music and utterly unique ways. I’m just wondering if the cut bits from this show are available anywhere. I would love to see them… Thank you for posting this amazing concert of his… 💙💔💞

[@sheflower22]

Heart-mind-soul melt…

[@brady2075]

Thanks for the upload!

[@marquettegloves9907]

Thanks Dan. I can't wait to see what other JTE shows you have recorded. I've been watching the songs you recorded back in 2010 for years. The story before Slippin and Slidin has always been a highlight.

❤️❤️❤️

[@shawnclare-nb1up]

Love him n the heartbreak is real...his inspiration is a rolling storm of thunder...

[@jacksonlever1585]

Justin talking about the war on drugs, and asks the crowd "guess who's winning the war?" "Drugs. New ones every day." And as fate would have it, a new drug took down this legend. RIP Justin. Thanks for the music.

[@at_brunch3852]

Was there. Amazing performance. I miss him.

Some of his last shows, the videos are really hard to watch. Shirtless and wasted. At his peak, he always was well dressed....hurts so bad.

Same. He doesn’t seem scary to me. 😉

[@TooleyPeter]

Something feels off here. He seems to be having trouble keeping tempo. Poor kid. What a tragic loss.

[@jensbradley8768]

I have always thought he was buzzed here. Holding it together but on the downhill slide which happens to addicts who don’t quit. He was brilliant. His death is such a loss to fans and the music world.

[@Arossi8753]

He's much better here than at other times. He's actually fairly lively. The crowd banter is great

[@sheflower22]

@DanSchram, it’s a little rude not to reply to direct questions from people who enjoy your video work. I asked months ago whether or not you had the missing footage from this recording-twice, as a matter of fact-and you’ve never replied. I’m sure you must get notifications, so there’s no excuse not to at least reply with a “no, I’m sorry; I don’t”, or “why, yes, I do, but I can’t give it away for free; would you like to pay?” Right…? 🙂

[@kevinblackmon6990]

No way in hell I could sit in that crowd and listen to this crap.my God it's awful.

[@sheflower22]

Get a life.

[@brucedunston625]

I HATE that he died, but it was not "accidental." He knowingly / intentionally snorted coke knowing, like everybody else knows, that it could have been cut with Fentany. It breaks my heart. I loved every song he ever wrote.
