Kurt Vile and the violators Pitchfork live

[@hisvorpalsword]

I appreciate this video to the utmost degree.

[@erichutchinson788]

Some of these songs are better here than on the album. This video is my number 1 of the year for sure. It’s like your own personal concert

[@scurfie2343]

I saw Kurt and the Violators in a small venue and it was just like this video. I highly recommend catching them live.

[@deepfocus888]

no question about it. These sound way better than the album versions, damn.

[@FreshlyWILD]

There are different elements to appreciate god bless Kurt and the band.

[@jgwire]

I was thinking the same thing.....you know ' house concerts' are a big thing with aging musicians who just don't want to drive from city to city, from bar to bar. It pays GREAT. and it's easier than all that touring. When you're in Kurt, league or level, I sense that he MUST tour a LOT to make any money.....and let fact it:: we want to get paid. He's not hurting, two kids, a wife and a house. NO apparent vices that will drain his finances and leave him OD'd in a beat up tour buss. Pitchfork, which is sponsoring this, obviously paid for all the trappings, the house, which a t first, looked really nice -- I'm assuming it's' some sort of recording studio. You could. bring a whole band there in the middle nowhere, and upstairs -- look at all the bedrooms. Now that records are a thing of pass and most scoff at paying me music -- even me, at 63 -- I'm just not paying for it. I've bought enough LPS. Kurts's looking sweet these days....his independent label, which I know nothing about, takes care of him, and he can work. This is all made to look so easy -- but in reality, it's SO HARD to do well enough to make a good career of it --Good luck to those who try -- JMHO. thanks!

[@jgwire]

all that said, did he and the band get paid for the gig? Recording in a big farm house is NOT getting paid. CASH is. Thanks.

[@ukehenrik]

I watch this so often. Thats my absolute favorite Video 🙌

[@ericsalazar2526]

Saw him years ago in Houston. He reminds of Beck the emotionless way he played, stoic and stood still. was mesmerized and put under a trace Kurts music is a sedative for me.

[@andyiwanski939]

Like watching a great downer movie.

[@J.R.Psych74]

Damn right it's a fine performance. So glad to see this back on ✌😊

[@SuperManiacstudios]

Agreed! it was hard to find for a while.

[@Rockettokorea]

6:36 Check baby 14:14 bassackwards 20:49 one trick ponies

[@SuperManiacstudios]

you rule

[@jessn3312]

Are you kidding..? This is exactly the kind of music I sought 30 years ago x

[@elephantricity]

Why the hell did pitchfork take this down? This performance is what got me into Kurt.

[@stever8972]

KV changed label

[@Unadapted]

What I want to know is what happened to his recorded solo performance of "Baby's Arms". I dont know if it was pitchfork who featured it, but I do remember it was from about late 2009 to early 2010, and kurt was performing in what looked like a backyard around a fire pit. My minds ear flutters from the thought alone.

[@SuperManiacstudios]

Same here, this was new shortly after I got really into him. Then it disappeared for a bit.

[@funkypeach8082]

Just went searching for this. I was in a Kurt mode and was like where the hell did it go. Such an essential performance especially when you first get into him. Great to jam out to.

[@relaxgood5214]

I grew up listening to 60s and 70s music, Vile is up there with the best of them.

[@garytube1955]

Same here and I get a little Lou Reed feel from this vid

[@juliansharples1319]

KV just brightened my day, world, year. He’s just so talented and just keeps churning out top top tunes all the time. Long live KV, way to go👍🏼👍🏼This concert is just ace👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@02R96]

RIP Rob Laakso...

[@scurfie2343]

Rob was an inportant Violator.

[@OrcsBR]

Just can´t believe in that. RIP

[@mcrystal1383]

No Joke, I've probably watched this more than I can count on 2 hands! It's awesome. I had it on heavy rotation for a while and now I'm coming back. Kurt Vile is an artist that I liked immediately. My first song was Bassackwards and I have not looked backwards since. Honestly, I'm so grateful this is on KZbin. I read in the comments that Pitchfork removed it! I can't believe they'd do such a thing. I'm glad there are people looking out for people who already appreciate this and those who will appreciate it.

[@sirdouglas2010]

I have listened to this live set 100+ times. Kurt is the vibe king.

[@tkpaint1]

Big thanks to whoever re-uploaded this…still need Kurt and Courtney by the Seaside to come back…someone pls help

[@richardwhite9529]

Read my mind!

[@ianbrown5619]

Was really gutted when this disappeared ✌🏻

[@whouston33wh]

I might have downloaded the audio of this show! I’d be happy to send it to you

[@alexei5887]

@@guillohm Hey, thanks for uploading this! Text me if you need 1080 version

[@Meetmeinmyhead666]

I found heaven on earth in the people who reupload these monumental pieces of music History 😢

[@MA-eb2kz]

THANK YOU!!! 😊 I can't believe pitchfork took this session down. Its so good.

[@ethanjadams]

I can't tell you how much I was stressing trying to find this. Use to solely listen to this and take afternoon naps.

[@jesbar893]

I have been trying to re-find this recording for ages, thank you!!

[@deniseelalala85]

This was the best thing that happened during covid man. This is sooo good.

[@terrywagwaan2623]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I don't know why pitchfork took it down but bless you for bringing it back onto my life

[@CreanCrimson]

Thanks for putting this back up...love this Pitchfork jam

[@GregoryBaniel-wz4ze]

Hey ! I discovered Kurt 3 weeks ago, I listen him almost every day since, I realy like his style. I wish I could see him in live in France !

[@majorpuggington]

Hope you get the chance, He is even better live. Sound really fills the venue, powerful low end.

[@voidofnothingness9685]

Pointu festival, six fours les plages, 7 juillet 2023 !

[@GregoryBaniel-wz4ze]

​@@voidofnothingness9685 Wow thanks ! There is even Brian Jonestown Massacre and Kevin Morby 😮

[@scottraske2196]

Just saw him live last night for the first time, basically played this set list. Was phenomenal

[@user-hm8nh6th6o]

This is pure glory. Get back at it Kurt!

[@deepfocus888]

360p??? I too did not realize this gem was stripped from KZbin. Can we get it at a higher res? Unbelievable that they'd pull this down off the legit site.

[@brandonward2619]

Thanks for (re) uploading this. Couldn't find it for a bit. Great stuff!

[@LeCommunique-w4n]

Lovely! The show at HSB 2023 will ever held in memory. Thanks KV&V

[@anonandake749]

Wooow! Thanks for this piece of art… I’ve just found out Big Indian Springs: what a beautiful place! What beautiful people, too. Kurt is soooo lovely, so professional, such a beautiful soul he is! ♥️ the Violators 🖤🤟🏽 ps: anybody can tell what is the second name (surname) of the guitar player, Adam? I had a beautiful conversation with him, in Prato, Italy 🇮🇹 talking about music… he used to play in a band called Sunburned hand of the Man, check it out! PS2: How many times have I used the adjective “beautiful “? 😂 WE LOVE KURT VILE AND THE VIOLATORS! Wooo 😎👋🏽✨ Shine on you💫

[@dumbtree33]

thanks i love this one

[@temahoney]

This……this is what it’s all about.❤

If you can see them live, go. Incredible.

Rocking Hard Greetings From South Africa PRETORIA

[@robertlonergan9401]

Attitude! Brilliant...

[@jk2758]

Tanita Tikaram's Twist in My Sobriety brought me to Kurt. New to me, and loving it.

[@ryanfairbanks9371]

I'm 52,started going to shows since the age of 2. My biggest regret is not staying for this guy on November 8, 2019 at the Criterion in OKC. Dinosaur jr opened and that's who I wanted to see. Biggest regret.

[@ryanfairbanks9371]

At least I bought a shirt of his, Dinosaur Jr didn't have 2x

[@ryanfairbanks9371]

Also I got a poster

[@alexpetronio6382]

Big mistake

[@Heather-r2n]

These guys are awesome! 😎💯❤❤❤

[@whouston33wh]

Wonder why Pitchfork took this concert recording. It’s so good. Thanks for reuploading

[@jerrygarcia5806]

Holy shit this is so good.

[@thomassudkamp]

🙏 thank uuu. was missing this to practice ma riffs check check come on whoo!

[@funkypeach8082]

THANK YOU FOR THUS UPLOAD.

[@baliscotsurf]

I have'nt been this moved by a new(for me) artist since I discovered Jeff Buckley. Every song is so powerful. When I was in Paris I was knocked out by the women. It was a huge fashion show. They were so beautiful. They looked like they got up early and took 2 hours to put on their make up and clothes...models..all of them. I feel like KV's songs are like that..beautiful expressions that he put alot of time into. I'm rambling...

[@J.R.Psych74]

So sorry to hear about Rob Laakso. Way too young. 🙏✌

[@majorpuggington]

This was a great "practice set." Why ever would they take it down???

[@joybokc8853]

Miss you, Rob.

[@shelbythompsoon]

What’s the song around 48:00-50:00 ❤ love it

[@ds3965]

This makes me feel good

[@annsmith-reiser3362]

excited to see them at Red Wing Festival this year!

[@RandleRex]

Sick show. Kurt is the best.

[@garytube1955]

Excellent

[@philtice8469]

The effect he used in the first one sounds like the same pedal Sonic Youth used on Diamond Sea. I wonder if he borrowed the exact pedal from Thurston.

[@funkypeach8082]

Sensational

[@brandy3573]

anyone know when this was recorded?

[@sweetiehemlock]

anyone know where this was filmed? the catskills?

[@CliftonLee33]

Yes

[@sammy-wi8pi]

Unreal, farout and outta sight, man 😅😅😅... At times, reminds me of Greg Sage and the Vipers' sound 😅😅

[@johntitor129]

Thank you this is quite Wonderful so glad you shared... Very nice. Please for the Record please tell me you used some kind of " fossil fuels" to construct your very enjoyable presentation. I am stuck behind enemy lines in Commiefornia and I sometimes look for reality checks wherever one might find active synaptic arrays.... Please verify if possible.... Thank you again...... Especially Sharing....

[@keithskeba2207]

In a world of crappy music that all sounds similar there is Mr. Vile!!!

Fact is, pitchfork can suck it……this right here………..is what it’s all about.

Anyone know the name of the song @6:40?

[@damieng1207]

"Check Baby"

[@KoA088]

"Check Baby!" It's SICK!

[@garymichaels7141]

Wicked sound

[@standardofexcellence]

Please someone tell me what the song at 39:00 was

[@kevinc2882]

Skinny Mini

[@peonwarrior]

why would they remove this video... ?

[@phil6025]

There is one fully filmed gig that I watch frequently, which is P.J. Harvey from 1994, I think: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp20nZWAo6agnZY - but this one of Kurt Vile has become my second go to; it is sensational.

[@tomwilkins218]

Hi, whats the track at 32.21? TIA

[@tomwilkins218]

Wow, it's hysteria. What a better arrangement here!

[@joewilliams7781]
