Gary Clark Jr. - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@andyinoregon]

No one else on the planet captures the power of live performance as well as the KEXP video crew. Not sure there's even a close second.

[@christian-br6oz]

andyinoregon check out audiotree

[@pipegris]

Tiny Desk Concert is really nice

[@dondraufi]

The crossroads video of GCJ beg to differ :p

[@carsonskjerdal473]

I enjoy House of Strombo quite a bit, though I find the performer list is lack luster for now

[@carsonmitchell779]

Tiny Desk concert too

[@lukeaustinmusic]

Might be the most chill bass player in the galaxy

[@jackoo666]

+The Luke Austin Band also solid as fuck, I want him.

[@jimothyshorts]

His name is Johnny Bradley. He was friends with my parents some 20 years ago. It was always a treat to watch him live especially if he had his stand-up.

[@xOnedropx]

Have you heard of John Entwistle???

[@exxusdrugstore300]

jimothyshorts Are you fucking with me?

[@alamoestepario9096]

check out Mustafunk bass player, that is extreme

[@kristinanadreau3100]

this kid is a genius with the guitar, vocals and as a composer. kindly do not waste any time comparing him to any past musicians.

[@Nickee_Sonicjinn]

0:00 Intro 🍎💖💕 0:19 Ain't Messin 'Round 5:45 Travis County 9:15 A short introduction of the band 9:53 When My Train Pulls In 16:16 Numb For the timestamp for myself and some more latecomers! This live gig is really dope! Hats off to Gary Clark Jr.!

[@ahmedetemadi3434]

He is this generation's next manifestation of blues and soul and rocknroll and rock. He is America's leading musician, the most talented one at least. And he'll lead the whole world into a future of REAL music. Thank you Mr Gary Clark Jr.

[@donaldshirley4236]

Hey from Austin Texas. This was some of the best blues in our town except for SRV. I'm a native Texan. Best place for blues in the world.

[@DrinkSanJuice]

That performance of Numb....goddamn.

[@NikosKoroneos]

When you hear that dude once, he is good. When you hear him again he is great. Nice sound, nice band

[@pepsitate8019]

Awesome voice. Great style. This guy is a rock and roll miracle.

[@tubewatcher38]

Or blues, r&b...

[@pepsitate8019]

tubewatcher38 What's wrong with rock?

[@tubewatcher38]

Bob Jones Nothing, but he is generally considered to be a blues artist, tho he certainly crosses into rock too. In his 'artists den' interview, he said, "...blues, r&b, rock, it's all the same to me...".

[@perferstrategy]

This sounds like rock and roll to me. Since blues develop that genre with artist like T bone walker and BB king etc

[@Hapax007]

Maybe " rock with a heavy blues influence... "

[@skeptic4031]

The drummer on ‘when my train pulls in’ - just blew my frickin mind - absolute genius drumming dude !!!!!

[@vascomarum]

Life changing guitar solo at 14:00 2013 still had this gift to give

[@kerryhirsch9705]

the rhythm guitar makes that solo

[@faunoram]

the two guitar sonic assault ! the thunderous bass !! fuckin mesmerizing !!

[@brownhousefarm3734]

He's not Hendrix but he IS Gary Clark Jr., soon to be legend!

[@LUckybones25]

One day at work, I had my Pandora playing through my phone when I heard this song for the first time. I stopped everything I was doing to see what I was hearing. I have been a fan ever since! This dude is the truth!

[@swoe420]

Same here. Pandora showed me Left Lane Cruiser too.

[@erikb.8758]

the solo on "When My Train Pulls In" is something transcendental

[@saulstar5203]

Goddamn , GARY is great ...

[@horsiemin625]

i think i've seem this video more than 100 times, but i'm still watching this video. Cool guitar and Nice voice of Gary, you are my present hero and rollmodel. I absolutely respect you Gary

[@francyburkett9556]

The performances produced by KEXP are often way better than any released albums.

[@mikemetallia]

If this isn't a live album, idk what is. This KEXP brings out the best in performers. Gary Clark's material really shines stripped down like this, without the overproduction and the glitter. Really great music. Thank you, KEXP.

[@joelcorbin7]

He's a Grammy winner , excellent music

[@BoarhideGaming]

He's not a Grammy winner. Why? You said it yourself: excellent music. Most people winning Grammies today are shit.

[@ChadAndrewHarris]

Actually he did win a Grammy a few months ago. He is one of the few real musicians I respect to win one in recent years. Enjoy the good music!

[@asdetres]

BoarhideGaming You should check Snarky Puppy, their song Lingus, anyway they're a Grammy winner too

[@MGDeadSpin]

Gary is the real shit...the Music playing the man, and it's beautiful.

[@derrickwitt9329]

Gary Clark Jr. is now on my list to hear.

[@96peterb]

Man i need to see this guy live! I want to so bad, he is frickin awesome!! Please come to Europe Gary Clark Jr.!!

[@1779DA]

Peter Brøndsted Do it!!

[@jaccovanberkel5911]

Peter Brøndsted I'm seeing him at North Sea Jazz in July this year =D

[@13D00_]

Peter Brøndsted North Sea Jazz Festival, Rotterdam (Netherlands) - 12 July if im not wrong :D

[@stevekutzen5941]

Peter Brøndsted saw him 3 weeks ago with Michael kiwanuka .. Unbelievable performance.. GOOSEBUMPS FOR LIFE !! See Him bro

[@RenegadeZach]

When was the last time someone like this came around? As always this guy kills it!

[@TylerMilesMusic]

There are guys like this everywhere! He just so happens to be more popular/successful. If you like this check out Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown

[@Feedurehed]

Tyler Miles There is a reason he is more popular/successful and if you cant feel it I am concerned for you Tyler! Peace bro

[@mikedfurman]

That last song is rockin'!!!

[@spikejoseph5482]

Gary was Ace at Glastonbury, fantastic solos! He really gets the dynamics of building to a crescendo. It was pouring rain but everybody forgot the crazy torrents he is hypnotic & humble no hideous ego, a true talent.

[@bensum9111]

Hell yeah. Doesn't get much better.

[@MadDuck]

This is some of the best music I've ever heard! Totally got a new fan, Gary! That fat fuzz box tone on the 3rd song was wicked!

[@milessoliz4593]

It’s the blue Hendrix fuzz face

[@erikb.8758]

yeah, brought some hazy feeling to the solo... hazy bluesy cool stuff

[@balogh89]

Thank you KEXP, I just found an artist again, who is really worth to listen. I wish all of you a happy new year, and I also wish so much great music! :-) Cheers from Hungary!

[@RSanchez111]

Four expert-level musicians up there. The mix is damn near perfect. Excellent bass and drumming, and Gary sounds great with the second guitarist.

[@tiemyshoes92]

LOOK AROUND there are rock/blues acts all over the place. Just only a handful are getting noticed. Good music is always around. Don't look on the top 40 charts or any charts to find good music. dig and dig and dig and buddy you will find some amazing artists

[@85samo]

true , and that is how i found ALL THEM WITCHES . since that my life was never the same

[@jimkon1479]

Joe Bonamassa, Kingfish Ingraham, Beth Hart.....

[@reviewthetop1433]

I really can't physically process the fact that someone could put dislike on any of the KEXP's video

[@singingwater69]

This guy is much better than I expected; very nice guitar playing!

[@sacredsolfire]

Now ya know.....GCjr is tha new king!!!

[@lindalovesmusic9091]

GCjr & DBII are the best young Guitar Gods!

[@joeymoldano6246]

Great performance! Reminds me of The Black Keys, love that thick heavy hypnotic sound!

[@raulsantanahernandez8612]

Same to me, the black keys and Gary Clark jr are the new classics for my playlist

[@carlosalbertogoncalvesalbe6723]

THE BEST!!!...

[@FreshlyWILD]

This man is so talented and he’s alive as heck!

[@martixxxx]

respekt KEXP your sound is allways awesome!

[@darrengibbins7333]

See several comments about equipment, guitars, pedals and the like. This isn't about what it says on the headstock. I believe there is a story that goes something like this. Chet Atkins was in the studio and someone compliments him on how good his "GUITAR" sounded. He took it off, set it down, unplugged and replied, "How does it sound now?" It's not about the gear people. You could have given Ansel Adams a Polaroid and one exposure and he would have made an image that would have stood the test of time. GC2 is an ARTIST inside and out. Plain and simple. To the 20 who gave this a thumb's down. I suggest you get to an audiologist soon.

[@jamesrae9939]

totaly agree i have dear and cheap guitars ,,, my fav sound comes from a Vintage SG copy ,,, with puks changed thats all

[@jamesrae9939]

i have always worked on ,, refine your art then worry about how dear your shit is ,,the people who write that stuff usually cant play for shit ,,,thinking the more expensive the gear the better they play WRONG ,,,,,

[@swimjim4012]

I agree that there is a difference between someone who's an "artist inside and out" and someone who isn't. But to an extent, the gear does make a difference. If Gary Clark Jr. played a guitar with one string he could only be so good. It's he who uses the tools of the trade the best and produces a solid product that gets noticed. Ansel Adams, along with any average Joe, can go take a landscape shot with a polaroid and they most certainly won't produce anything of quality, but with more tools you have more options and you can be more creative. So yeah, it's not the tools, it's how the artist uses the tools.

[@trevorhanhilammi3958]

The Presidents of the United States of America play with a 3-stringed guitar and 2-stringed bass. Just thought I would throw that in there.

[@DjsArtistRep]

C Miller Jack White playing a one string guitar....enough said :)

[@kiko8smkn420]

That sound was …king Awesome!!! 👏🏼 that got my engine running this morning...in addition to my coffee and it tastes better with this music before working

[@sean79779]

KEXP, thank you for bringing to light these superb musicians!

[@frangavilan901]

[@gangoffour6690]

[@thiagomessiah1]

fantastic

[@ricardlopez279]

Now and here a new favourite for my playlist has born.

[@consuelastacos]

I love how Travis County before was called Shotgun Man, and was completely different lyric wise. Travis County is probably my favorite Gary Clark Jr. song

[@MagicOne005]

I just to say, everybody claps your hands..!! .... Absolutely Awesome!!

[@rickcahoon9661]

thanks gary and all

[@1779DA]

Seen him live a few times. Legend!

[@lindacarter9697]

Yes 👍🎉❤❤

[@sjiz]

And we are going to ignore KEXP's audio engineer. Superb job!

[@forthedoggiesguitars2277]

This guy gives the guitar a soul🎸

[@--dh--]

Damnit!!! Austin, Texas produces some damned good musicians.

[@jnulpi]

so great

[@gjh400]

SOoooooooooo good, zapata kills it, as usual -- love that casino. Kind of refreshing that the interviewer does such a good job by just letting them play, very enjoyable -- LOVE GC!

[@paocap1101]

wow!

[@ingemarcruz]

Loving it, sounds like a Maestro Fuzz or a Big muff in the neck pickup and the tone rolled down, he uses a Slash Signature Wah, a Reverb/Tremolo Strymon Flint, the red and purple pedals, i can´t identify them, "Jimi still alive?" no it´s Gary Clark Jr"

[@soundssimple1]

just discovered this guy, great menacing sound, will buy album ......, ???? Robin Trower anyone ???

[@LUckybones25]

+Les Gourlay Im a newer fan as well! Long-time Trower fan as well!

[@miroslavschulc5512]

I hope you people out there acknowledge the rhythm guitarist as he is the backbone to Gary Clark Jnr songs especially when my train comes is the conductor to a lot of riffs and knows when Gary needs this or that I love this guy

[@Vanilablue]

goose pumps music hell yea!!

[@pavelmakarov207]

Watching this makes me want to get back to playing drums

[@ceffo25]

Fookin amazing guys

[@susanlayton6758]

i heard him Monday nite at Freedom stage in delaware!!!He was incredible!!!!!! He never stopped for over2 hrs!!!!His encore was the best i have ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!! He rared back and i went to another place!!!!!!! Even some Stevie Ray Faces!!!!!!!!!! He is SO talented and a teenage girl in his school when he was growing up taught him how to play !!!I luv their story!!!!!! If you get the chance hear him!!!!!

[@jeff7764]

That's what's up!

[@eddiebrown1478]

Freaking FANTASTIC.

[@rudolphgonzales4284]

[@ChadAndrewHarris]

15:00 - 15:40 .... HOLY SHIT. Replay, over and over and over again.

[@rickcahoon9661]

thanks gary and all. this is so brrrrrrr

[@LuizaDeARAUJO]

shout out from brazil

[@sunozun]

amazing bit and the guitar solo its powerful

[@godspeeq]

I love the fuzz of 3rd song

[@pattiern]

PHEW !!! I Feel Numb. What a player.

[@faunoram]

i prefer this gig,

[@phanorlozano1336]

No, actually i feel he has his own style, but what Rock and Blues guitarist doesn't have Hendrix in there vain's somehow. In my opinion, he is on another level rite now. I will be lucky enough to see him in Central Park NYC this summer. I feel he is the real deal thus far, when was the last time you heard Rock and Roll licks that tight from a guy his age?, very impressive.

[@teeKeri]

This band is absolutely amazing ! Great set ! ♥♥♥♥

[@vekunde]

I recognize that Austin sound! Throw down, Mr.Clark.

[@MrRuizrudy]

Thunder Chile 512 represent

[@ngombordadoattay7982]

Wow! That was above and beyond.

[@marylynward3186]

glad I squeezed this in the last day of the year...

[@ryanmurphy3897]

Great stuff Gary. I’ve only been learning myself guitar for four years. I’m well familiar with all the great blues men through loving great music. But I need to let you know…… F#*kin pure original stuff here. Really enjoy the feel and vibe of your sound. Keep it up 👍🎸. ☘️ love to see you in Liverpool
