Steve Poltz: I had a stroke and now I like the Grateful Dead

[@trishportella3352]

Steve, my beautiful friend, I’ve not even watched this yet- I just read the title of the video and am writing to send my love and prayers and support. You are a gift. Your music has been part of the soundtrack to my life. Thank you. When your song comes on when my family is together, everyone stops and sings! I’m going to watch the video now and reach out to you after, but I wanted to take this moment to tell you how grateful I am for you and to let you know you’ve brought joy and connection beyond measure to my life! Big love, brother! Trish

Love this man. I have been following him for 20 years! Always love catching up

[@kurtvatland]

You don’t find the Dead, they find you. ❤

[@andrewpereira9271]

Greatest video title ever.

Love this interview and this channel. I'm a musician from San Diego and Steve is in my top 5 influences. keep up the great work!

[@ddc2116]

Wow he's talking about Rossland BC and the Firehall. I use to go to that place was just down the street from my home...lol. And yes Ian was a crazy skier~! He served me many drinks.

I first heard of steve poltz when I saw him play at The Basement in Australia. I was so blown away by his music and his guitar technique, he was defintely an influence on my own guitar technique and song writing.

[@raynic1173]

I recently discovered Steve here on KZbin....what a riot....

[@janetw.5706]

I absolutely LOVE hearing all your stories, Steve! I sit in my dining room just laughing out loud.

[@Mandoslicer]

This is just perfect. One of my favorite performers and story tellers for 20 years is being interviewed in a venue where I had a weekly gig 20 years ago. Just perfect.

[@MOLTEN_IMP]

I appreciate pieces of you so much

[@rockettebob]

[@PatriciaLen66]

Wow!! Glad you are okay. You are so talented!

[@Bluesbabesrv]

Agree with the Aussie guy. I could listen to Steve tell stories for hours, sure his guitar playing is icing on the cake.

[@kristinstansby7743]

The wonderful @stevepoltz #stevepoltz

[@glimmo43]

Steve the ultimate troubadour

[@boham2003]

Steve i told you years ago to listen to Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson's band! You totally cracked me up :).Great interview!

[@chriswilcox2115]

Porcupine Tree is badass my guy! You ever listen to Floater? Check out the song Clean Plastic Baby or Alcoholic. Hard as balls and crunchier than a bag of Cheetos

[@mountainsinmistheals1149]

Welcome to the family Steve. GDF

[@truthtoad]

I heard the brown acid was like having a stroke.

[@curiousgemini]

When ever you feel signs of a stroke such as blindness or numbness..take an aspirin and get to the hospital as soon as possible!

[@clancy201]

Lol i love you so much ! sweetness

[@xf7zj]

So the open door to death is through the music of 'The Dead'. Have I got that right? lol

[@rvmcwhorter]

It was 1986, Jerry in coma .

[@shepwatkins]

Bud. Working mans dead

[@raynic1173]

I think there's a song in that iPhone attitude...

[@kunstmol]

Dude, you dont need insurance to get healthcare in Canada!

[@ericmyers3561]

No. But you would pay out of pocket for medical care

[@kunstmol]

@@ericmyers3561 No, we don't. not a penny

[@64CadDeville]

what's up with the boots / socks / pants setup? Bizarro

[@ryanjohnson985]

Steve has always had that style and peculiarity with his shoes/socks/pants.

[@JEEDUHCHRI]

Bizarro? Dude is just wearing pant cuffs. Its an affect but its nothing out of the ordinary

[@SasquatchLovesMe]

Steve, I'm sorry about this horrific side effect from your stroke. But, hey, at least you have an excuse.
