The greatest country music musician to ever walk the planet if you ask me, 100% pure magic. Should have been as big as Bob Dylan..
He was one of the best, but unfortunately, he was his own worst enemy.
@@cheapmusicgear I’d say his worst enemy was probably the guy who shot killed him, but what do I know?
This tired aphorism is a perfect example of the kind of hyper-individualist, narcissistic hegemony that makes people like Blaze Foley have a hard time getting by in this ridiculous society. If you don’t have anything good to say, just shut up.
@@jayzbreemoI think I had something very nice to say by referring to him as one of the best…the man clearly struggled.
Ever see Bob Dylan live?🫤
@@jayzbreemoi hope this is a joke
“Tell me to do anything but vote” -2020
Amen to that 🙏🏻
Haha! So don’t tell me shit if you don’t like what’s going on in politics then. It’s a positive feedback loop of the disgruntled voter and dysfunctional government. Just go and get off your lazy ass for an hour and do your civic duty. There’s a huge difference between trump and Biden, if you can’t see that you’re not paying attention.
@@GandalfsPipe Yeah. I think there's more than one way to take that imperative, though. I was already going to vote. I always vote. I need to know what else to do.
@wobblyboost it’s about ideas not labels. All I see in your post deals with labels, anger and focusing on the prez. I’m sorry you don’t understand how powerful the idea of justice was for MLK to give his life for so millions of blacks could vote. I’m sorry you don’t understand why it was so important to give women the right to vote, something that blossomed an equalizing of the sexes in the laws of the land. I’m sorry you don’t understand why it was so important to Lincoln that blacks became free voting citizens, something that was cut short with a bullet from someone who was afraid of these voters. Because it seems according to your argument, none of this matters. The power of black and female votes is none existent. MLK and Lincoln died for a pipe dream of change. Get out of here.
@wobblyboost the spells that have been casted over everyone are deep. Keep spreading the TRUTH!..
Wow. I am a big John Prine fan but now I am also a big Blaze Foley fan. Their music just rings of reality and soul.
I knew Blaze when I
was a young kid and teenager in the 80's living in Austin..He and my mom Patricia Belen were good friends who played music and partied alot together..many a morning I woke up to Blaze sleeping on the floor or the couch ,as I was gettin ready for school..lol he was sweet guy , and funny and goofy too..I remember him and my mom gettin in fights one week , and being best of friends the next..lol it's weird seeing his face and hearing his voice in these vids sumtimes.. most documentaries and movies about him ,sadly leave out how close of friends he and my mother were..that woulda made Blaze sad..She was the only person outta all them characters back then that was anything like him..they're both gone now , and I hope they're playing guitar and singing together in heaven now.
wow that was beautiful, thanks for sharing!
@@evanlanam2993 Thank you , and you're very welcome Evan
I would have liked to have been friends with him. Souñds like he was a good man.
@@marise.gradinbennett3180 , Yeah he was good guy ..crazy sometimes , but still a sweet guy..lol
That’s amazing! What are some good documentaries about him? I’d love to see anything that tells his story. He’s a real American poet.
I know a lot of people revere Townes VZ, and I like him too, but Blaze hits that special place in my heart at this stage in my pitiful screwed up life. Thanks honey!
It’s soulful music and that’s for sure. I feel the same. Im sorry to read that you feel your life is pitiful and screwed up - you wrote that 3 years ago- I hope things are looking up and that you feel better now. I’ve been in that same place a few times too. Hang in there brother, you are not alone.
It's how well you walk through the fire.
I actually prefer both :)
Townes is a legend, but he took advantage of Blaze.
@@skywalkeronthesun can you elaborate? I'm a massive Townes fan and shamefully just started listening to Blaze who I find absolutely amazing and very similar to Townes musically
Stars burn out, legend's live forever. Blaze is the definition of a legend. RIP brother.
I can’t watch this enough. I am so interested in Blaze. What an unbelievable talent and a damn shame the world never really go to know this musical genius.
Absolute class man
Turn your friends on. We've got to keep these old soldiers alive and recognized for their contributions and influences.
Timeless music. "Drunken Angel, you're on the other side."
Good song sad song
hes not a drunken angel azzwhole.... hes the Duct Tape Messiah!!
@@urabampot I think that’s a reference to the Lucinda Williams song “Drunken Angel,” which I think is about BLAZE.
@@TheOpinionatedGuitarist what an album that is
I had never heard of Blaze Foley before in my life. One day, a couple of years ago he just turned up on my screen. Oh my word, an amazing musician. I hope one day, the person who shot and killed him wakes up to what he had done. I hope Blaze's music will not be forgotten or lost.
Blaze will live from now forward, that guy, not so much..
@@robertmiller4993 Good Morning to you. Thank you. I did not expect a reply as the post was put up 5 years ago. There was just something about him and his music that struck a chord with me so I tried to find out who he was. I am over 70 and still find treasure. Best wishes to you.
@@chrisallen7068I’m in my 20s and similarly will not let blaze die 🙏
There's musicians that have the gift to reach out and touch your soul Blaze Is one of those rip
This is nice, Blaze has made the big ntimes now, on the internet, getting play. Thank you, Who ever did this, Blaze in a bar with a few fans. WE lost John... I need this in 2024
It’s blowing my mind how relative these songs are to America right now here in 2021 considering our current state of affairs. It’s amazing, honestly. Thank you so much for sharing this. It should have way more views than it does. 🥀 🇨🇱 💔
Yes very tru i felt the same this guy was such a talent. What flag is that its south amercian right
Not just America but all the world leaders who are on a power trip. All the things he says about the USA leaders is the same for people like Putin too. They just make absolute carnage for normal people. I've been thinking about Blaze Foley's music a lot over this war in Ukraine.
Nothing new under the sun
@@bambinogatto9969 These leaders (ours and theirs) ultimately want to conquer. They want their legacy to be that of a conqueror. No matter how many dead bodies it takes.
It ain’t,never gonna stop.
Damn! This man is one HELL of a songwriter and performer. He means every word he's singin'. I'm embarrassed to admit I've heard of him but I'll certainly never forget him. I look forward to listening to as many songs of his as I can find.
He is absolutely sloshed and hasn't lost a bit of his passion
ah shuddap... yer sloshed ya brain washed twit
Umbrella he is blazin
A truly talented singer, picker and songwriter that sabotaged his career over and over again. Thank God that movie at least got his music out there.
Isn't it funny how all the true "artists" do that?
that's because none of them/us, not that I would put myself into a category with ANYONE, but all of them, more or less, ACTUALLY LIVED LIFE!!!!! Only a "Oval Room" kind of person would make a statement like that. Sorry
@@mis-ter-bis-kits8428 That's a fairly ridiculous statement that I can't even answer. You must be drunk (or incredibly stupid) to say something as nonsensical as that. Sorry.
@@bezzarguy Maybe, just maybe you'll understand. eventually. I hope anyway. I can't do it for you. and if you can't pull your head out of your ass, I'll be praying for you.
@@bezzarguy ok, without me making you look like a complete imbecile, why would you say he "sabotaged" his career? Maybe some honest, talented musicians don't even want a "career" and all the crap that comes along with it. Have you ever thought of that? or are you just so enamored by the fake ass "dollar" that you can't see past it? So if you're not doing it for the money you must be sabotaging your career. well Mr. G, you my friend are part of the problem. Not the solution.
The sadness in those eyes. Such a talented singer and songwriter.
I drank a lot Whiskey with Blaze back in the good ole days back in Austin
You are a lucky man.
I miss the good old days in Austin Texas I'm starting to feel like a transplant here with my Texas accent
Wow!
Wow indeed. Love this guy.
My dad and mom hung around with that same crowd back in austin during the 80's him and townz van Zandt
"Blaze had his guitar with him..." Wait, when DIDN'T Blaze have his guitar with him? It's just so ironic that Blaze, in his infinite creative genius, is only now getting ( and about to get even more with the release of the Blaze Foley movie) , the world-wide recognition for what burned in his soul. This is why when I'm exposed to something that changes the very core of me I do everything in my power to share it with the world.
Be passionate, share the passion that fuels others, be kind. Life is short. We need to uplift our brothers & sisters who pour their hearts and souls into their art. Love them as they love us. ❤💔❤
Very well said - especially these days. I try to spread the word of Blaze everywhere I can, too.
I think Foley is the father of singer "The White Buffalo!" ..Same cadence, same look, same eyes! LOOK!! ruclips.net/video/W-vzuRz5AJY/видео.html
@@KittyKittyBoomBoom Wow..
@@dontmesafrusciante There are two movies about Blaze - the first is 'The Duct Tape Messiah' - available on Amazon = the other one is "Blaze,' recently released. based on Sybil Rosen's book "Living In The Woods In A Tree"
Would you know how I view the movie Blaze in the UK ? Thanks : )
Damn. I lived in Austin during that time and never saw him. He's like George Carlin with musical talent.
You should have gone to the Austin Outhouse.
Oh, how I would have loved to have been in that room. Blaze is the only artist that can make me laugh and cry during the same song.
Try John Prine.
How is it possible that Oval Room was written for a different president!?! No wonder Berke Breathed has brought back Bloom County! It's crazy how nothing ever really changes. I found Blaze tonight thanks to a John Prine deep dive, covering Clay Pigeons back on Austin City Limits. RIP John and thanks for the tip to put Blaze on my radar.
It doesn’t change much because it’s very specifically designed to do what it does.which is keep us here and them where they are.
Cheers to John & Blaze
John steered me here too
Two of the best fir sure 🍻🙏🍻
Definately. I was so glad we got our son to see John live in Beaverdam a little before John passed. Foley, just wow. Such a sad loss to the world, too....
How did I live all these years and not know about this man...I'm always a day and a dollar short
REALLY¡¿! I'm going to make up for lost time 😜
Blaze has always seemed to me to be Captain Beefheart’s Southeastern brother
My thaughts exactly..
YES!!
Blaze van vliet has a kinda ring to it 😂 I thought the same
I never met blaze... yet I've gotten to play his guitar!
I was out in the east Texas woods with some hippies and I think I got a scoatch of whatever super rad fever that blaze contracted....
I'm just not crystal clear on how to use mine yet. If seeing is believing... I guess we all are right here, and right now
This guy is great. I just discovered him today.
Thanks for sharing. So glad I came to know Blaze Foley music before I die.
Ah...me too! Just wow.
Thank you, Austin History Center, for doing this. That is a subscription with the Bell. this gift to me, to hear this, ... Priceless.
A true honest man who Just lived his life....respect!
couldn't agree with you more
Clearest footage I've seen of Blaze thank you.
The movie did him justice too.
WOW!!! I am really impressed. Never heard of Blaze til this popped up on you tube. A year older than me, such a shame to lose this talent so young. Intrigued and will search for more songs and read the book by Sybil.
This is fucking beautiful, bud. Many thanks.
yeah, he's bitchin'.
Last time I talked to Blaze back in the 80’s he told me the best office buildings in Austin to find cigarette butts that had barely been smoked. Never did check it out however. He was a strange dude.
well, some cigarette butts are better than others.
@@storagepalace apparently so according to Blaze.
Ones that have never been wet
Very very cool. The man was one of a kind. As real as they come. Fly on Blaze!
Blaze makes it all seem so easy.
This is the best Blaze I've ever seen.
worst video... Blaze would NOT approve
@@urabampotwhy
I'm absolutely certain blaze is drunk, But I'm also pretty sure he was crying slightly behind that hat when he lifted the brow. Poor bastard sure did have a lot of heart.
music for the heart & soul to help left the human spirit
@@mikaltrevino7301 so true. The beauty of art and music and it’s power to cleanse the soul and make you feel new.
This is real Americana country respect to a great American. Texas music lives forever!
Real talent across the board, Blaze was born a music man.
God I love this guy! As a musician it makes me sad I never got to meet him.
You don't always get what you go after,
but you do get what you wouldn't have got if you hadn't gone after what you didn't get.
I'm adding this to my book of wisdom. Thank you :)
🙏So thankful this exists!
I saw Blaze Foley perform "Oval Room" at the University of Texas Union in 1983. Never forgot it and I still think it's a great song. I didn't find out about his untimely death until many years later. Bizarre that Newt Gingrich, whom he mentioned once between songs, was an early admirer.
Is bizarre
It sure sounds bizarre.
Stone cold genius.
Thats one stubborn pinkie finger
What a find. Thanks for uploading!
The last song. I never knew there was a live video of it! Thank you much for uploading that!
The only thing that could make this more enjoyable is if we could see the cut scenes. Thank you for sharing!
Never saw this great footage, I think. Thanks so much for uploading.
This guy wrote some the best songs ever written...sucks how his life was ended...but he stood up for the old man he and town's had alot of respect for
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks so much for uploading. Please find more live footage of Blaze, please.
Check also the "Sidetrack Productions" post on the channel for more Blaze, we have some cool Townes Van Zandt too. We appreciate the feedback.
just saw the movie at Sundace...BLAZE...so great.
possibly the best country artist ever
Blaze is one awesome musician. Sings from the heart.
Jesus, that was perfect.
Thank you. Blaze Foley so great. The good die young.
Amazing talent...I would have loved to have known about him when he was alive.
Townes Van Zandt's biography To Live's To Fly led me to Blaze.
true street troubadour...love blaze driving cross country, guy died sticking up for a man, died tragic but least he was a real deal man...he'd be popular now, was ahead the curve back then..miss ya dawg ...I recommend the dig years. .n songs from the outhouse is great. thnx for this post...xlt quality,not much footage exists.
Makes me cry
This is a treat... thanks...
Oval room is one of the coolest damn songs i've ever heard.
I gave Blaze that hat earlier in the day, pretty sure the guitar belonged to Lillian Stanfield, he had been dwinkin, I wasn't there when this was shot. Not one of our productions.
Thats a load of horseshit. He wore that hat for years. There's lots of footage of him wearing it when he was younger and the hat newer.
Awesome, A true Master
RIP Blaze Foley (December 18, 1949 - February 1, 1989), aged 39
You will be remembered as a legend.
"Oval Room" is a scream. One of the funniest songs I've ever heard.
“...tell me to do anything but vote.” Bars baby!
This first song says it all. Should be the national anthem.
should be the international anthem too
Now this is real music.
He was no saint, but certainly a sage
This is beautiful.
There is 3 songs here and the last is so beautiful it goes straight to my soul
You could play these songs 100 years b4 or after now and they would be spot on.
Damn this is so great .. ww3 wow..didbt realize he was so radical i went guthrie his style diction delivery are so bang on to me finally gettig some recognition he deserves his guitar sound is cool and songwritng is completely authentic funny but so american.....talks to kings and queens on the. Tele phone
Never been so apt, that first song.
Uhh.. how about now?
@@TheSelfHelpTube even apter...I mean more apt...shit keeps getting apter
Imperial August/September of 2023
May you be as strong as then
What an amazing find, 🇮🇪🙏🙏🙏
Amazing riff, love it.
So grateful for the upload. I feel like Gollum desperately clawing for Blaze footage.
Heard about Blaze through Gurf Morlix... I haven't seen him perform until now... ❤ this dude.
this is fantastic.
John Prine brought me here.
Adam West yeah me too.
Same, this guys is the real deal.

Been watching this video for years but now for some reason there's another video playing over it. Audio is still the same, but the video is like an 80's dance party or something. lol. Anyone else seeing this?
Yeah, it looks like a photo shoot for some other act.
@@johnmalcolm7915 I guess it's not happening now but that shit was weird. Now I wanna know what it was. Lmao.
@@Camromulus It still is like this for me... Very strange. I have never experienced this on youtube before oO
When I mouse over the timeline, it shows Blaze sitting there with a video. But when I press play, this other video starts playing...
So...not sure what happened here. The video of the hip hop group (Def MCs) and two members of Skank (Lisa Gamache - on the right - and someone identified only as Lucinda) that is playing over Blaze's song is actually from the beginning of the tape that Blaze's performance comes from. But it is hard to determined exactly how this strange phenomenon is happening. The Blaze Foley video will be re-uploaded. This video will remain so as to not lose the long history of comments, but the description will be amended to point viewers to the correctly playing video.
Evidently his life was a pinball machine, but it's a real shame he died so (relatively) young. He was supremely talented, and people were about to find it out.
Thank You so much for posting this.
Great songwriter...great musical. ..
love this folk music.
You truly are thr BOSS!!!!!!!!!
Legend.
I respect the rhythm he keeps playing and singing at the same time
Love this guy. Very underrated. And very talented
This man could have made a whole new type of music
This dude is a living breathing work of art, that just happens to sing a lot of heartwrenching songs, when you find music this good it makes you appreciate their originator even more
It's just Travis picking and singing lol. I mean it's great, but that style been around... Well way before Merle Travis gave it a name.
He has a long past pinkie finger. And he's pretty dang good singer gitarman.
Sure glad you posted this video.
So much hope!
Proof that the truly good, do die young all too often.
I think he is amazing
yeah man he is amazing, he's a fucking legend singing those songs about life and the absurdity of war and government, not a lot changed since then either. I'm glad I found out about him.
