Shakey Graves - Live at House of Blues (Full Set)

September 19, 2018 - Austin-native Shakey Graves performs a full concert live at Boston’s House of Blues.

On this Wednesday night in Boston, Shakey delivered plenty of that signature sound mixed in with a full rock band arrangement joined by drummer Chris Boosahda, guitarist Patrick O’Connor and bassist John Shaw.

[@OGBlackBridge]

Everybody dies alone....but who really knows

[@Brandon_Moves_You]

Every live performance is varied, and it adds such dimension to each song. It's like covers of his own songs. It's genius. Took the wife to see him live in Birmingham, UK. Drove 2 hrs on a weeknight. Wu-tang was playing upstairs. He comes out in a budweiser shirt and a Wu-tang hat and kills it with his basic setup and a moog synth. I'll never forget it.

[@mrJoker4235]

Your comment successfully encompassed the awesomeness of that night. (thank you)

[@u.s.paintingservices7143]

He such a humble human being! Doing it his way and it's paying off! Such a true artist! Shakey Graves ain't nothing to f-with. Wu-Tang!

this man is like if Tim Burton movies had a baby with country rock music

[@teighandoughty1573]

How this doesn't have millions of views is beyond me.

[@jehouse86]

The tone on his guitar is unbelievable.

[@corpsegrinder3369]

If I said it once I said it 1000 times, it’s the artist and the passion he puts into a song, the energy you’re able to f feel as he plays. That’s what makes the song great.

[@benmarkus3675]

Just saw him live not too long ago and I have to say it was one of the greatest things I've ever experienced.

[@taratbird]

Ben Markus glad you caught him! I’m seeing him next month, can’t wait! 😍

One of the best concerts I've seen on KZbin, and let me tell ya, I watch a lot of concerts.

[@anirose6807]

The tone of that guitar...so rich and layered. Fuck. I need to see this man live before I die.

[@kathyvernon5042]

I just started listening to him my granddaughter plays his songs on her guitar and sings his songs

[@u.s.paintingservices7143]

I seen him play in Dallas, after the show was over and the crowd cleared out, I looked on the ground and seen a piece of paper. I pick it up, and lord behold, It was the set list from that night! Cool little piece to have to remember the night!

[@u.s.paintingservices7143]

Also I would like to point out how good his band is. To play with Shakey you have to be on another level!

[@soul_waffles_v.2_205]

No matter what song or performance he always kills it

Last time I watched a Shakey video, it got me pregnant. Nice try, WGBH. Not falling for this again.

Had the priveledge of seeing him at the 30th anniversary of Bluesfest 2019 in Byron Bay, Australia. Bloody Awesome!! 👍🌻🥰🦋🎶🎸🥁

[@marcphillips9424]

Jealous as puck!!!

[@mikepeeler8005]

Ok, after seeing, hearing, and feeling this, i have a new addiction. SHAKEY GRAVES!!! If you cant can’t feel his music your are dead or as good as dead

[@theHELIOTROPES]

The Black Keys showed you could have a rock n roll quartet or quintet with just two guys. Shakey Graves does it by himself! Guitar mastery.

[@NAJALU]

Saw Shakey in November at Utopia fest. Easily one of my favorite sets I've ever seen. Listening to this video on repeat until I can catch him live again!

[@fullzombieinc4034]

Roll the bones always sounds slightly different. I could listen to a playlist of just this song and never get bored.

[@bettypsycapprentice6544]

I'm memorized . . .

[@RLFinch33]

so I was a late arrival this Shakey Graves' shin-dig....but I am doing my absolute damnedest to make up for missed time because this guy is a fucking badass who I hate to think I wasn't even aware of until late 2021!!

[@neptune4167]

I remember seeing this in my YT recommendations, and I thought, a trucker singing, nah. But it kept getting recommended and I finally clicked. My word am I glad I did. This is my go to set list when I want to get motivated and focused.

[@mrJoker4235]

This is the First time..... (in my story). I clicked back. It auto scrolled down, highlighted this comment. and here we are............

Honestly this show is perfect I wish I was there

[@kiddyvizzle]

Awesome!!

[@ryangordey7356]

Saw this show and it was awesome! Thanks for posting!

[@chrisjosephbenson]

Shakey’s ability to keep you guessing is unbelievable. At 8:35 the extra note repeated is subtle, yet adds so much to the song. There’s hundreds of examples of that through this live set.

[@chadd7411]

I usually only listen to his solo stuff but god damn the band killed it

[@Markingramforheisman]

They did a wicked cover of "Something in the Way" when I saw them live. Blew my little mind to pieces

[@IanSlatas]

Boo alone would have been a great addition. How Pat and John ended up in the same circle is pretty unreal. Such a great combination.

[@j9andphoenix]

iI love his live performances so much - stripping it all back gives centre stage to his earthy style. And tomorrow is Shakey Graves Day in Austin!

[@SouthernWild]

Incredible!

[@Junkt123]

every performance and recording this man does is stylistically, and drastically, different, yet never lose the DNA of the original... as a matter of fact, how does(and by extension, how do we), even keep up with which is version is the original? Does he even know? Does anyone? What is a Shakey Graves? What is graves? What is death? Am I chinese? Fuck you Shakey, you're amazing. :D

[@TheSgtcabldog360]

🤣😂

[@corey101289]

Shakey Graves was the result of he and his friends tripping on acid lmao. Legit
