Agree but Nothing gets you more new viewers than a live session on KEXP - the most listened to music station website in the USA. He has received 292,000 + views on this performance alone !!
@@spacesmuggling Been listening since Stable Song, probably like 15 years ago or so. So frustrated when people tell me there's no good music anymore and I show them artists like Gregory Alan Isakov and they say "yeah, but he's not mainstream". Who gives a crap, he's great....so is Iron and Wine, Jason Isbell, Josh Ritter, Andrew Bird, Colin Meloy, etc.
Had the chance to talk to Gregory after he opened for the Lumineers in Paris in early 2022. It couldn't have been a nicer dude. Told him I came just to see him, he was genuinely touched. "We're small potatoes" he said. Glad to see that he's becoming a bigger one. Saw him again when he headlined in Paris a year ago and will see him again in London next week.
If only I had more money in the period I'd do the same... He's one of the few I can listen straight along every songs. A poet, an evocative artist. I can strongly perceive the intentions that vibrates of positivity and life. This last album live must be a love bomb. Maybe next time he'll be coming to Europe (possibly in Italy) ❤
Incroyable, j'étais à ces deux mêmes concerts. Je l'ai découvert au concert de The Lumineers et lorsque j'ai vu qu'il revenait au Trabendo qq mois plus tard, j'ai sauté sur l'occasion. J'ai aussi eu la chance de pouvoir faire une photo avec lui à la fin du concert et échanger qq mots mais mon anglais m'a fait défaut et très impressionnée, j'ai bien été incapable de dire grand chose.
@@virginiegaillard5754 Haha marrant. J'ai regretté de ne pas être resté après le concert du Trabendo pour le revoir. Mais je devait rentrer pour retrouver ma femme et notre bébé qui venait tout juste de naître. Je lui avait d'ailleurs dit que je n'étais pas sûre de pourvoir venir quand il m'avait dit qu'il reviendrait à Paris début Novembre ;)
Gregory's music is a gift... anyone who has seen him live, especially on this current tour can attest. Expert songwriting and raw emotion in every performance. A true gem that transcends genre and soothes the soul! Thanks KEXP for sharing this. Expertly mixed as always.
Saw him live many years ago when he went on tour with Josh Ritter. It was a spiritual experience. We had no idea who he was at the time and you couldn't help love his music
I stumbled across his albums some years back. Went to a live show before the pandemic hit. I've been to many concerts, and have never been so moved by the music. It was beautiful. So much better live than I could have imagined.
This guy has been my outlet. I can let my mind roam free. See myself walking barefoot and free in the world around me crumbling. Gardens surrounding. I want to live off all of earths offerings, yet in A world of technology I’m left alone. In the night.. Only music that is understanding💔
Gregory, I'm sure you have heard this many times...but I am your biggest fan! I'm 54 years old, I live at the end of the road in Alaska and I just absolutely love your music. Second Chances is the most perfectly written song I have ever heard in my life. "Lonely is a ring on a cold coffee cup", "I'm waiting in the wings while the trees undress", "Cupping my ears to hear the wind confess" are some of the most beautiful lines ever written. I am absolutely in love with your music, brothers. You make me slow down and "listen" more in my life. You've changed my approach to playing guitar and you are definitely helping me becoming a better person. In turn I really hope you are a good human, I hope you don't have enough fingers or toes to count the ones you love and who love you back. Thank you, brothers, for helping keep this old spark lit. PLEASE COME TO ALASKA, brothers, I beg you!
When I was 13 years old I heard Van Morrison’s ‘Into the Mystic’ for the first time. I was instantly hooked and became a lifelong fan. I’m 60 now and tonight I heard Gregory on an IG reel. He has made my heart burst like I was 13 again. What a wonderful musician , he has the ability to reach deep into your soul. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of him before.
Gregory’s music is a breath of fresh air. 10 years ago when I came across his music it’s as if I finally found my vibe. Every single song he’s put on an album is good. Him and his band are true musicians and I’m so thankful for GAI.
Can't believe this is the first time I hear his beautiful voice! What a discovery! I was so 'flabbergasted' I immediately bought two tickets for me and my wife for his upcoming show in Antwerp, Belgium next month! What a great coincidence, talking about 'serendipity'! Thank you, KEXP, for another great discovery concert (for me anyway) and see you soon in Belgium, Gregory!
I'll be at his concert in Antwerp as well, with my girlfriend! I've been to a live concert of his already, and it's arguably even better than his studio-versions. See you there!
I basicly spammed this guy on my spotify playlists after first discovering his music... and after a good while.. i got an email from spotify, saying he was playing a show in my area, and since i have listened alot lately, i got the chance to buy tickets before the official sale started... Such a class move... love this guy..
“Time has a way of throwing it all in your face, the past she is haunted the future is laced” one of the most masterful lines I’ve ever heard in any song
Watching as I just bought tickets for his show in Dallas his music has helped me through my toughest times my suicide attempt, depression, and fell through engagement. This man gives me the light through that dark tunnel.
His music has helped me through heartbreak, death, love, was played at my wedding, and hopefully present as my journey grows. I just visited Denver and Boulder for the first time and spent some time in the mountains. Such fitting music for that place.
The Fall helped me so much after losing my mom in September, came on in my car at the right time. I sobbed like a baby, but smiled at the same time. THANK YOU GAI
So sorry about your Mom. I'm on the trembling wire right now, dad has terrible dementia and it's so hard. Every tear is a little pain leaving my body. This band of brothers has relieved my pain so many times. Peace to you ❤
The fall, the fall, the fall I keep stumbling back Ivory bone opera glass Angles of attack You heard blood was thick, brothers and sisters But ya don't know where anybody's at Time was a bust, you thought you'd better be tough Nobody gets past The trembling wire All eyes on you now, on you We're all holding our breath All eyes on you now, on you We're still holding our breath We all break a little We all break a little We all break a little We all break a little when we fall And everybody keeps saying, "Get up, get up" The fall, the fall, the fall "Go on, get up" The fall, the fall, the fall
I’ve never heard anything so beautiful. It’s just so incredible. I fall in love with Gregory’s music more and more with every strum, every lyric…and my heart can hardly handle it when I see him and his band perform live. Pure magic. Thank you for sharing this stunning session.
Isakov's "The Stable Song" is THE defining song of American culture in our most recent chapter. Every age has its anthems. For the age now turning, The Stable Song was it. I'll never forget it.
I just saw GAI and his tremendous band in St Louis on 10/30/24. What a concert!! He was there with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats. I thoroughly enjoyed myself!!! Thank you thank you thank you Mr Isakov for a wonderful evening! 🤗❤️🤘 P.S. i would also like to say that when folks walk into *whatever place* please be quiet & take your seat. I could hear loud talking all over the arena when GAI's band was playing. 🤫🤫
His music has a way of healing one’s soul. He helped me continue living, when I was ready to be done. I owe my life to this man and his powerful music.
We see him in concert every year. He is incredible. And when he plays at Red Rock Amphitheatre, it is just a magical experience. Thank you GAI and co. You are all so talented. Thank you for all the beautiful music.
I remember randomly discovering him about eight years ago while working at a cafe in college. His music always transports me back to those cold damp mornings, watching the sun rise over Mt Baker in my home state of Washington. Seriously some of the most incredible mornings of my life.
I am moved to tears and feel so deeply the lyrics of his songs. I value his lyrical poetry and contrast comparison to life . Thank you Gregory Alan Isakov (and group!) for being. I’m just a small potato too but I hope my Music can one day move like his. Very admirable group. They all sound so well together .
It made me happy to see it because so much of this music makes me cry. The happy tears, the sad tears, the frustrated tears, the angry tears, the grateful tears, the relieved tears. This music connects me deeply to my inner self and I am so thankful for this band.
Met Gregory in Telluride CO about 2007 and have loved his music ever since. Will now get to see him again on the other side of the Atlantic in Manchester UK in a few days time. Very excited. He’s an incomparable songwriter.
Omg thank you KEXP for having more indie folk on the channel. I like the musical diversity these last few years but goddamn, it was good to see this in my notifications.
Ouço Gregory do Brasil e me sinto conectado com o mundo, pois no fundo, somos todos um neste mundo. Obrigado Gregory por proporcionar este belo sentimento nas pessoas. Um abraço a todos do Brasil.
Everytime I listen to him I feel he is far superior than most of the neo-folk artists out there. The delivery, the raw emotion as well as the exquisite song writing…It’s really on another level. Also, the sound quality of this recording is incredible
I recently saw Gregory Alan Isakov live without really expecting anything, knowing only 2-3 of his most popular songs. I was literary blown away; it was just pure music that soothes the soul from the beginning to the end. Thank you Gregory Alan Isakov and KEXP.
This is such a beautiful set. We've been home sick this week, and this has been one thing to comfort my one-year-old. He's hurting, but if we put this on, he relaxes and eventually rests. Loved Gregory Alan Isakov's music for many years, and this set is just one more reason.
Love Gregory Alan Isakov, love his band and love John Richards for the vibe in this session!! It is totally disarming to watch a host interact with such respect, stoke and enthusiasm that manages to be lowkey, on the wavelength of this chill and humble artist, not talking over him or being overwhelming or bombastic. Yet engaging and upbeat. It's a hard balance to strike for anyone working in radio and I have huge respect for hosts that nail it, so we as listeners can enjoy good music and artists can feel appreciated and comfortable.
My wife and I saw him in Tucson last night. We were absolutely astounded at the musicianship and the quality of the performance. We tried to stream a few songs on the drive home but it paled in comparison to what we just witnessed.
Watching this was nearly as enjoyable as seeing him that same weekend in Seattle. Dear god this group is talented. This is the best KEXP full performance recorded. Hands down. Tell me I'm wrong :)
Heartfelt genius. Every once in a while we stumble across these gems that shine through the darkness. This man has magic in his veins. KEXP do it again and again.
So so glad to have had the chance to see him live this year. One of my favorite things was how much recognition and "spotlight time" each of the musicians got-they were all absolutely astounding to watch and listen to.
Superb, mesmerizing. What a talented band. You can see and feel the connection between them. Gregory's voice is like oil on dry skin. Healing and rejuvenating. Love Appaloosa Bones. Thanks for the beauty, much needed!
This is by far one of my favourite performances. I was fortunate enough to travel to red rocks to see him earlier this month. Unbelievable performance.
Fifty-five mile signs Thunder crack and lightning While something else inside Shines like the Fourth of July I'll go it on my own, I'll go it on my own, go it on my own Sand City bus kicking up dust Kicking up dust Before the sun comes up The devil sees us now Clear as the moon glows Sleeping in our winter clothes Radio's a crackling fire I'll go it on my own, I'll go it on my own, go it on my own Sand City bus kicking up dust Kicking up dust Before the sun comes up
He needs an episode on Tiny Desk Concert
Yes, I cannot believe he hasn't yet!
Agree but Nothing gets you more new viewers than a live session on KEXP - the most listened to music station website in the USA. He has received 292,000 + views on this performance alone !!
That would be so good!
He doesn't need, they need. 😊
Yeah he doesn't need.. but I really wanna see him in tiny desk😭
I can't beleive he's finally getting some of the recognition he deserves, he's one of those artiusts who's work can legitimately change your life
Why can't you believe it?
It's been like a decade of the simps and mainstream not knowing , I don't know if that's for the better or not.
@@spacesmuggling Been listening since Stable Song, probably like 15 years ago or so.

Who gives a crap, he's great....so is Iron and Wine, Jason Isbell, Josh Ritter, Andrew Bird, Colin Meloy, etc.
6.1million monthly listeners and hundreds of millions of plays on Spotify alone says to me he has been recognized, for a while now
@@landon. I would venture to say that he deserves even more than that in all honesty

Long live sad songs about stars.

Seek him live twice. Beautiful experiences.

saw him live in a small venue in Austin a few years ago. I've honestly never seen a quieter audience. friggin surreal
Was that guy in northern Michigan?circa2010?
He makes me feel closer to God and I'm not even religious
That's his magic, isn't it?
Same … 🥲❤️🔥

This one reminds me of how KEXP sound engineers rule. All that nuance coming thru perfectly.
Exactly, this is gregs best recording
This is a beautiful mix , one of my favorite live performances of all time
I actually feel like his voice is a tiny bit too loud, don't kill me 🫂
Unbelievable capture of an artist
Yes they did an outstanding job in this one!
This is probably the best band in all of music right now.
this and M83 are the best band in XXI century
Ha ha. Ha…. I can see how u would think that; when you only 12 years old.
Mt. Joy is in the running.
Truth
this is a fantastic recording. Love the comments on this feed, thanks to all of you

i agree - my son & I saw/heard them @ small venue in Philly last year; the vibe was amazing🎉
After reading your response, the only thing I have to say is that we would probably be best friends.

totally agree!
When I was reading this comment,
I first read “musicians” as “magicians” and I think both apply.
I felt exactly same way.. I met him by chance at starbacks and changed my life
Can't believe this is the first time I hear his beautiful voice! What a discovery! I was so 'flabbergasted' I immediately bought two tickets for me and my wife for his upcoming show in Antwerp, Belgium next month! What a great coincidence, talking about 'serendipity'!

You will have a fantastic time. My wife and I saw him for the first time in Canada on the current tour, and it was incredible! Enjoy!
I'll be at his concert in Antwerp as well, with my girlfriend! I've been to a live concert of his already, and it's arguably even better than his studio-versions. See you there!
Sounds like my first experience with him 10 years ago. I heard him and immediately bought a ticket to see him a few weeks later. Enjoy!
You are lucky. You’re about to go on an amazing journey of discovery
Best decision you've made in a while ;) He and his band are just amazing live.

I’m sorry for the pain you are enduring. You will get through this. Keep breathing. Remember, you are loved more than you will ever know.
I'm glad you are still here.

The fall, the fall, the fall
I keep stumbling back
Ivory bone opera glass
Angles of attack
You heard blood was thick, brothers and sisters
But ya don't know where anybody's at
Time was a bust, you thought you'd better be tough
Nobody gets past
The trembling wire
All eyes on you now, on you
We're all holding our breath
All eyes on you now, on you
We're still holding our breath
We all break a little
We all break a little
We all break a little
We all break a little when we fall
And everybody keeps saying, "Get up, get up"
The fall, the fall, the fall
"Go on, get up"
The fall, the fall, the fall

Gregory’s music has brought me through some really tough stuff, and I feel like _he knows it_ What an incredible human ❤
I liked the big grin on his face when he started the set. You can tell he is doing what he really loves!
Mannnn, that version of “Miles to Go” was awesome.
I keep replaying it over and over
agree
Isakov's "The Stable Song" is THE defining song of American culture in our most recent chapter. Every age has its anthems. For the age now turning, The Stable Song was it. I'll never forget it.
Now turning what?
I'd vote for "Mackarena"
@@pileofwit😂
Hmm, it always distinctly reminds me of early 1900s America for some reason (even though I wasn't alive back then lol)
GAI is exceptional. Became a new fan last year.
I've watched a lot of performances on RUclips over the years. This might be the very best I've ever seen.
The most talented musician in the world right now. Listen to this guy live, listen to his lyrics and you'll agree.
Love me a real contrabass. So rare! And that‘s Steve on piano? Such a multi-talent!
I just saw GAI and his tremendous band in St Louis on 10/30/24. What a concert!! He was there with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats. I thoroughly enjoyed myself!!! Thank you thank you thank you Mr Isakov for a wonderful evening! 🤗❤️🤘

Originally from South Africa - what a career he has made
Greg’s music is unmatched. Go and see him live in concert, it’s a life changing experience
Saw them live this year (2024). Huge music lover and just can't find current music on this level of greatness.
Gregory Alan Isakov and Friends put on an AMAZING show at Bonnaroo!
...still on a high from last week's show at Paradiso, Amsterdam. This man and his friends are bloody incredible.
I will never be able to put into words the love I have for this man !!!
i totally understand that statement!! i am speechless when it comes to his talent music and depth. its all too much. its too beautiful!
Absolute genius. One of the best artists of our time.
Their live shows are phenomenal. Highly recommend!
Can someone give Jeb a hug? The man was emotionally connected to this and made me wanna cry 😢
It made me happy to see it because so much of this music makes me cry. The happy tears, the sad tears, the frustrated tears, the angry tears, the grateful tears, the relieved tears. This music connects me deeply to my inner self and I am so thankful for this band.
His voice just has such a genuine touch. Really makes the beautiful lyrics even more poignant.
Beautiful music, beautiful performance, beautiful recording.
Life-changing music, feels like.
Good Stuff..!!
Shout out to the Audio Engineer who mixed this
Saw him & the band along with The Milk Carton Kids in Brooklyn last month, amazing show all around!
MCK were amazing. First opener I've ever seen get a standing ovation

It strikes me how watching this performance conveys a certain delicacy to the music the audio alone is unable to capture. Incredible.
Once I’ve heard one of his song I immediately got into his music.
I honestly think this live performance is better than the actual album version of the songs they played.
LOVE, LOVE , LOVE THIS
Finally! Been listening to GIA for so long and sharing his music with everyone I know. It’s so beautiful to see him on KEXP ❤
so accurate and so many instruments perfectly played. No where to hide, exceptional talent.

Miles to go has become the anthem of my fall/winter this year. What a poignant wordsmith he is.

lovely + beautiful......nothin' else to say about it.
This is like a warm cup of coffee for my soul. Love this band so much.
Best surprise when I woke up this morning. The acoustic version of "The Fall" is simply magic!
I've already listened to the songs on Spotify. But this recording is much, much better and more beautiful. THX
I still can't believe in 2024 this LEGEND hasn't hitten 1mil
Most of the humans are in a trance watching their 10 second videos all day. They don't know about this

Favorite artist still after 5 years! Love everything he does at this point!
Fifty-five mile signs
Thunder crack and lightning
While something else inside
Shines like the Fourth of July
I'll go it on my own, I'll go it on my own, go it on my own
Sand City bus kicking up dust
Kicking up dust
Before the sun comes up
The devil sees us now
Clear as the moon glows
Sleeping in our winter clothes
Radio's a crackling fire
I'll go it on my own, I'll go it on my own, go it on my own
Sand City bus kicking up dust
Kicking up dust
Before the sun comes up
