[@anotherlooker]

I have had the pleasure of seeing King's X on every tour since Out of the Silent Planet. Their sound is quite unique and has been one of the best sounding bands in clubs I have seen. After 403 different concerts and club shows I think I can state such with confidence and authority.

[@seamus2112ophelan]

Dude, out of all of those shows, do you have any pics or vids to share?!!?

[@rockyhenz3607]

had the privilege and pleasure of opening for Kings X in '89 when I was still with Della Street...awesome musicians, stellar gentlemen

[@anotherlooker]

@@rockyhenz3607 What was the club(s) and date(s)? I have traveled long and hard to see numerous bands. Are you still playing?

[@anotherlooker]

@@seamus2112ophelan I have numerous backstage photos, but all of them are like the sweet memories of a fine, young lady you dated and enjoyed the company of in the past. Those are for you and you alone.

[@seamus2112ophelan]

I see

[@gregorybannister2611]

Agree, also one of the most underrated bands of all time!

[@Nikki-xg3mu]

Ahhh the good ole days!! I'm excited for tonights Kings X show in Austin!

[@stevenejezchleba5201]

Absolutely the most under rated band ever.........Outstanding music, outstanding live act, and just the nicest guys ......Seen them many times .......

[@FeelingShred]

This setlist is very special. Beginning with "King", wow just WOOOOW

[@scottwardell5383]

one of the best rock n roll bands ever!!!

[@CrimsonThorns]

Wow...what a great set list on this Austin show. King's X every release is worth the owning.

[@runrunrun6777]

Thanks so much for this! The band should release this for sale, at the very least the audio should be for sale!

[@SlippstersVideos]

"93 Florida...at a beach bar in Panama City Beach, Doug's bass was so rumbling deep i could feel it in my bones!

[@davidkoblentz]

this is by far one of their greatest shows in the history of the band, little things get me here, "Over My Head" ... wow, right after Kevin (doug's friend) shot himself, ty's wedding ring... little things and big things... how life changes... it's like Life is Going By... couldn't help myself there... there is excellent quality copies of this available out there in the trading community, I had it converted from the original tape/feed back in the day

[@rawtime]

well the ORIGINAL TAPE is in my hands since I made it - so I assure you your copy isn't from that :)

[@davidkoblentz]

@@rawtime no argument here ! someone from the TV station sent me a copy, you could tell it was a pro copy not some bs from a trader, the envelope even had the TV station return address on it (and the quality... perfection)... it would have been silly to fake it back then... but either way, it was like watching a city limits shoot, the closeups on ty reminded me of the EJ shows... so if you filmed that or some of it... thanks 1000 times over... magic man... magic!

[@nikkicombs7564]

This was a great show! Loved stumbling across this video! Classic! Bonus-TY is wearing his VELVET HAMMER shirt (and Jerry wearing NONE)!

[@ElricX]

One of my all time favorite bands! Thanks for posting this!

[@stringbender11672]

Ty looks like he's gettin' ready to cut the grass XD

[@joint2joint2k]

+stringbender11672 lolol

[@mlwsf]

They were using the guys from Phish as image consultants.

[@chrisstolle]

It’s funny, my Phish Head friend was just over my apartment tonight and I turned him on to Kings X for the first time, it was the Rock-Palast set from 1999 on KZbin ! I figured he would dig them, being that they’re sort of like Hippy Hard Rock/Metal/Prog, with the Beatles and CSN&Y like harmony vocals, and have a tendency to stretch out and jam live( but way less boring, long, and monotonous Jams as Phish, lol! ) I also told him Ty used to look like a total hippy and had long hair ( I mean, he’s gone back and forth from long to short hair through the years but when he wears the John Lennon styled round glasses, that’s when TY goes full hippy, lol! ) Sort of like this comment we’re replying to, i asked my friend if Ty was walking in his neighborhood, dressed and looking like he does in this video, would he have any inkling he was a semi-world famous ( although, Kings X should be way more famous/popular than they are especially here in the States! ) and shredding guitarist ( yet, Ty is still grossly underrated! ) In closing, my friend was absolutely blown away and loved every note from the opening riff of “Groove Machine”, the opening song to the ending of “MoanJam” the last song! I had a feeling he would dig them, at least a little, but I wasn’t expecting that sort of reaction! I love it when I can convert a friend/peer into a Kings X fan and/or a fan of other bands I hold sacred! I feel like a missionary, like the Kings X song, “Mission” off of “Gretchen..”, hands down, my personal favorite Kings X album! Spreading the gospel of the Kings Crossing! Sorry for going on a tangent, but I am very passionate about this band, obviously, lol!

[@williamweiss6128]

He used to be a nice boy, he used to cut the grass.......

[@deluge71]

In a word...AMAZING. I missed them on this tour due to poor promotion on the part of my local venue (i.e., I found out about the show a month after it happened), so it's really cool to see what I missed. Still hate that I missed it, though! Thanks for posting. :)

[@Andras75]

thanx...what a show! so great to see a full concert!

[@TheBolinfan]

Great name. Great taste.

[@lukemanify]

King the first time I see they playing it live.

[@Joaqrock]

This is a good show! The "Ear Candy" tour, right? Awesome! Send your love Jerry's way, as he recently suffered a heart attack! Show your love! Send money, not flowers! God bless you Jerr!

[@EddiePauleBolin]

Thank you so so very much for posting this ! My 2nd Fav. Band behind Zeppelin .

[@robertbobbygaryremkes2166]

Great rockers...

[@lukemanify]

Hope you find it and feel the difference

[@ThomasAtzinger]

I used to have that guitar. Amazing sound, but it had a too small neck.

[@davidkoblentz]

hah... that is so true.. but he likes that... I own the summerland guitar (hamer) an it is much smaller, but I like that, I started on a 1982 silver bullet !

[@Stoner171]

i miss the backroom

[@Jam1Hard]

This is killer especially around 20 minutes into.

[@anotherlooker]

That's 418 different shows now (it's a wide variety of bands beside King's X), but in the end I'm just trying to find my way to Nebraska.

[@inamoratasamazing]

@bulldoggirlinpa They had one in 94, too. I think they're selling it on an official site, just found out about this one, though.

[@donanger1968]

"Picture." Good God.

[@fooser77]

Well, I will confess I was there .. Yep, a lot of drunk people there .. I had my beers, but I kept it together .. I was working at IBM at the time .. OS/2 Warp project .. Remember that fine operating system? Yeah, today IBM virtually does not exist anymore in Austin .. PSP division? Yep, that's called -- Lenovo now! Building 42? That's a hotel now in The Domain .. I actually met dUg Pinnick in '94 .. Standing right next to him at the Pecan Street Festival on 6th Street .. Said they just got out of the studio .. What was to become -- Dogman .. Guess who we were watching together? Yep, sister band Galactic Cowboys .. "Space in Your Face" tour .. Guess who's releasing a studio album in November for the first time in 17 years? Original line up .. That's right! The GCboys ..

[@MHoffp57]

The fans singing at 1:31:20 are hilarious.

[@eddiecain4502]

@30:30...it becomes SOOOOO nice.

[@Dahstin]

Are you fucking kidding me right now?

[@williamweiss6128]

I think I saw them here a few years later when they opened with Groove Machine. Drunk as hell on Wild Turkey, still good, carried my ex out of the place. Memories. Omg they ruined Goldilox....people can't sing for shit!!

[@TheBolinfan]

To my benefit, they never became huge. Therefore, I got to rock out merely feet from them every time they came 'round!

[@carlost1310]

Anybody knows the name of the song that starts at 16:17 ??

[@kingsxable]

We were born to be loved - Faith Hope Love album, 1990

[@carlost1310]

Thanks!

[@Dahstin]

The self titled album King's X is AMAZING. Just sayin

[@BassGod1225]

Jerry keeps time better than a fuckin Rolex

[@lukemanify]

Hey Doug testified. And became agnostic later...

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

These drunk singers in the audience muuuust be banned from all concerts (or at least denied alcohol LOL and given sody pop or Gatorade instead :)

[@rawtime]

what about the one on stage?

[@lukemanify]

wow man that is some kinda following. Hope you don't hear music over your head 24 hours a day.

[@MikeGervasi]

This was Ty's anti rock look period

[@ChrisP3000x]

What happened to these guys between 94 and 97? Completely lost their edge, energy, weak harmonies, etc..

[@hollywoodya1]

Worst Goldilox EVER. Way to fuck up the greatest song ever written, ya drunk bastards.

[@SJMoscol]

worst lights in the history of show business

[@rawtime]

I have seen soooooo much worse
