Rest in peace Rob

[@ethancramer8909]

I've been coming back to this performance for years

[@danielcruz1263]

Me too man, nothing like the first time though I remember watching this my freshman year of highschool. Simpler times..

[@mattjarrels4594]

How does he always seem to find the perfect chords for that happy sad sound I love so much??

[@ilquintopezzo]

I feel the same

[@pablorios8668]

Same hereee

[@conman77]

He's a wizardddd

[@kentborges5114]

His talent continues to get better !

[@exyougoslavia3744]

unfortunaely, the sound of his guitar is wack

[@BrandonDavidMusic]

hands down the best version of this song. Not just the live version, but this particular take.

[@joeyschreiner]

TOTALLY AGREE!!

[@SpookyApparition]

Just watched this for the first time and it blows away the album version. holy crap.

[@sinuskurvepitch1247]

@@SpookyApparition Na man, I miss the superb guitar part at the end. The guitar that comes in at 8:31 on the album version, you know what I mean? When I saw him live he added this part in the end. It's super important to this song

[@Jamesdhillegas]

It's a damn good one.

[@farneybuster]

@@sinuskurvepitch1247 interesting how sorta polarized KV fans are regarding live vs. studio versions. i think it speaks to his appeal across different sonic tastes. I totally see what you're saying about the studio album version having that interesting twist though.

[@johnloughrey2676]

beautiful song, goldtone has lifted me up,helping me through some of the darkest times of my life!!!!

[@dhss333]

Why not pay your electricity bill?

[@kentborges5114]

Kurt played "GOLDTONE", the second time I saw him. AMAZING. He said he would play it at the fourth show but he was with COURTNEY B. Ready to see him again in OREGON !

[@Bessmaster2000]

Such a dope song. I always get lost in it.

[@cackhandedchimp]

Those opening 40 seconds. That's the Golden Tone!

[@leawilliams7893]

I love how mellow and feel-good his music is. No one does it like Kurt.

[@andybonavitacola152]

This is a great song. Just started listening to KV and the Violators in the past 6 months and he's quickly become a favorite.

[@sumikosuzuki6423]

+Andy Bonavitacola So did I!

[@kimmartin3890]

Ditto.. BY FAR one of the BEST GUITAR PLAYERS/SINGERS in a longgggggg time. Lotta Sea Luce.. . Excellent Kurt Vile!!!!!! Excellent Courtney!!!!!!

[@Craig332]

one of those artists that just sounds better in a live setting I like this more than the album version. Incredible!!

[@tizwiz-w9x]

this live version is really great!!

[@gustavocosta5648]

This guitar sounds like a sword cutting something. Very accurate and merciless.

[@matthewkearns1016]

[@CalvinDavis0]

easily the best version of this song!

[@kentborges5114]

" FREAK TRAIN " is another fave !

[@GoldTone]
