legend has it, he was also the one filming

Ten years later, still coming back to this. What a solo, man!

The eye contact in this owes me child support

My beautiful loved passed away 2 days ago. She loved you Shakey, we both do. Please send a prayer for her.

I won tickets to see him off a local radio show.. I had never seen or heard him before, so you can believe my surprise when this small statured man with the tightest fitting wu-tang shirt and cowboy boots comes on stage all by himself.. Then proceeds to let out the most powerful sounding solo performance I've ever heard! Been a die hard ever since.

I went to his concert and got 4 signatures from the whole band. They all have the same handwriting

Saw him 4 days ago at Red Rock. A spiritual experience. He truly transforms on stage.

Nine years later.. Its still a masterpiece of a performance.

Well, i'm 10 years late. First time seeing this dude and i'm very impressed, what a voice and skill! Better late than never.

I’ve watched this a hundred times. It never gets old.

I'm 75 years old (or will be on 12/31) and I've never heard or seen anything that comes close to the greatness of this man's talent. I am forever grateful to Amazon Prime Music for turning me on to Shakey Graves, which, after googling him, brought me to this amazing video. Thank-you Shakey for rocking my musical world. I can't get enought of you!

Might be the greatest live recording of a solo performance I've ever seen. Even 10 years later and I find myself watching this every few weeks. God damn majestic.

I must be living under a rock. Seven years ago? This dude is great.

This guy has solidified my belief that genius is found on the edge of madness. This is amazing...

OK so, weird returning fan here after searching my favorites, trying to find something to bring me back down to earth, and I found this fucking BANGER. This deserves so many more listens than it's gotten, and by listens I mean views. Shakey Graves is a goat and his shit slaps.

How this man is not top of the billboard charts I’m astonished this probably my 100th listen and every time it gets better

That is the voice of someone who sounds like they sold their soul to be such a great musician.

0:23 I don't know why but I really like how well the pause to fix his headphones fits with the song and the general vibe.

I live for that rasp. Love his unique voice

Where the hell have I been for 10 years? This is brilliant!

What the fuck did I just watch? This guy is mind blowing

Shakey Graves is the greatest recommendation KZfaq has ever given me.

New listener here, can’t believe I’ve never found him before. From someone who suffers highs and lows thanks for giving me the highs!

Always come back to this version of the song. Listen to all types of music and genres but this scratches my brain more than any other. Special place in my heart.

Little does anyone know.....he was also the camera man.mind blown,🤔🤔🤔

After listening to this song for the 100th time, I'm still not sick of it.

I can’t even rub my tummy and pat my head at the same time. This dude has some serious talent. Oh and he’s a real looker too 😉

I saw him for the first time last night. He is a real character. I love his raw funky approach. Once he begins a song he is totally in the music. He is at the mercy of the music. Loved his performance.

Not only is he amazing. But the production behind this video: lighting, angles, everything. Just so damn good. Everyone is sweaty watching this.

I'm 66 and thought I'd never see anything as new and creative as Shakey! All hail Youth!

There are certain songs you hear at certain times that are the perfect mood and match the perfect feeling, and most importantly will bring back memories each time you hear them. Every time I listen to this song, it will bring back one of the greatest memories I have and I’m thankful for it.

That main guitar riff does something indescribable and wonderful to my soul. And the vocals are beautiful, too. This song makes me feel so alive every time I listen to it.

How is it 2020 and I'm just now hearing this??? It's beautiful.

This man's talent is not yet fully recognized. This is extraordinary artistic self expression. His music is full of soul and emotional content unlike most artist.

Je peux pas m’arrêter de le regarder chanter, jouer, taper du pied, le voir ressentir tout ce qu’il fait avec ce grain de folie dans les yeux, dans la voix, dans la musique en elle même qui sors d’ont ne sait où ! Incroyable performance en vrai, j’aurais voulu être une petite souris dans le studio ce jour là !

As this performance is now a decade old, this still stands the test of time.

He is so smooth. The raspiness of his voice mixed with the tone of his guitar is divine. Very raw performance.

Sometimes I can't even walk and speak at the same time.....annnnd then there's this guy

Shakey and Tash Sultana should get together. They are kindred spirits! I can only imagine what a musical collaboration would sound like.

Watched this a hundred times.. goosebumps every single time. Absolute musical perfection right there.

When you ask people to jam but get tired of them bailing on you.

My brother showed me this song, I miss him so much. Rest in peace, you are the best person I've ever met. Thank you for being in my life

Every year I come back and watch this 30 times in a row..He’s just soooo good! It’s just so much better when watching him ❤️

always wind up back here at this one video of him. the rawness and the power in this one is just unmatched none of his official streaming music can quite compare. something about it. lives rent free in my brain always

Oh yeah, well so it goes Yeah so it goes Oh that sweet heirloom Them abbey stones Yeah, let's take a chance and roll the bones Go crash that car Unplug your phone Yeah and sell your belongings All your clever drawings try to make a dollar From the grave Yeah and sell them belongings All them clever drawings try to make a dollar From the grave But whose to blame Well so it goes Oh so it goes Them city boys in country clothes Oh let's take a chance and roll the bones Go crash that car Unplug their phone Yeah try to forget all them enemies and debts They'll just chase you round and give you sour dreams Yeah, try to forget all them enemies and debts So they'll just chase you around and give you sour dreams Yeah so it seems Yeah so struggle all you like Yeah put up the good fight They say that someday everybody dies alone Yeah struggle all you like Put up the good fight They say that someday everybody dies alone Oh but I say who really knows But hey Who knows Yeah hey who knows Yeah hey who really knows

This is some of the most impressive shit ever. I wanna know what tuning he’s in, and what gauge strings he’s got on, freaking 9s? Those bends look like they’re gonna snap, but they’re so loose and the action is low, the way I set my guitars up. He’s in that rare zone you get in , where you don’t have to look at anything, and you just lean into the emotion and feel of sounding awesome. Dude is amazing.

Love to see all the comments from the last year. This guy is an absolute machine and this song is up there for one of the best, I think. Been almost 10 years since I first saw this and I still come back regularly

This made me buy a guitar amps and a microphone yesterday. I’m building the suitcase drum kit today with my dad. I’m going to spend as long as it takes to learn how to play this perfect and then I’ll play it til i die lol. This is the best thing I’ve literally ever seen. This preformance is literally setting me down a mildly different life path lol. Thank you Mr Graves

This is so much better than his recorded stuff. Come out with this live album and I'll get it

Found this video a couple of days ago and I can't stop listening to this guy. I'm obsessed. I haven't heard anything like him before. His music is perfect mix of western, rock, and folk. He's described as a country folk artist but it he sounds more western than country to me.

Ive lost track of how many times ive come back to listen to this performance. truly one of his greatest showings.

I just saw him last night after being a fan for years, absolutely incredible live performance. My first since 2020. He has a gift.

Honestly I only heard his music on spotify and definitely though shakey graves was an entire band not one person. A true virtuoso

Dear KZfaq algorithm, thank you, for once, for taking me somewhere I didn't know I really wanted to go. My mind is blown at the range and talent.

2024 here and lovin it still!

Went to see Shakey Graves when he was in Toronto not too long ago. About an hour before the concert my wife and I ran into him in a store. We got our picture taken with him. He was generous with his time and an absolute gentleman. And the concert was great too.

This man has more talent in the tip of his index finger than I do in my whole body. Thank you for reminding us what good music sounds like, Alejandro.

I showed this vid to my gf and half way through she went to the bathroom for a pretty long time. Not sure what she was doing in there but it gave me just enough time to work one out to Shakey's glistening arms.

I first discovered this back in 2014, and I was obsessed with Shakey Graves for a few years. I still come back to this performance (as well as his performance of "Late July" on Be Lie All) at least twice a year. Such an incredible song and an even more incredible performance.

I remember when this had hardly any views thinking why is he unknown ,now stands at 28million, awesome

I'm actually glad that people are finding Shakey Graves stuff and liking it. I started listening because of my parents and I really fell in love with Alejandro's music. If you just finding his stuff, I recommend his album "Can't wake up" Its got some good stuff, and that was the first album I started listening to.

I religiously have listened to this song every single day for probably the pasts 6 months lol

This has aged like fine wine - 10 years and still coming back

From 5k views to 30million. I been listening to this for 8 years. Now they play it on a local indie station. Never gets old.

I met an adorable 12 year old from Georgia at the hat shop I worked at who told me his idol was Shakey graves and it made my heart explode. He was so excited to become great and we talked about music and lyrics...gosh I hope that kid becomes an awesome musician and human being bless him

just raw talent. he is amazing and needs to be more popular

I can't stop watching it. Melts my brain every time. Absolutely amazing.

One of those stand out performances that will live forever. This can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere by anyone.

What is the acceptable limit for how many times I can listen to this? Can't. stop.

😮 I'm seven years late. Glad I found my way here. This guy is good.

I fu*ken love this damn song, I was first introduced to it by my gf's Step Dad. And ever since, I've been hella vibin' to it.

This has got to be one of the best performances ever.. I listen to the whole Audiotree session often but of course this song jumps out. This whole session was so genuine, authentic and pure awesome. Can't believe it has been 10 years. This has literally been a part of my life, thank you so much Shakey! Audiotree too of course, the interviews in between where so cool

let me remind you all: THIS IS ONE GUY

Oh my goodness, I'm so obsessed with this raw performance.

Truest rock n roll since the led zeppelin! With a blues touch!. Thank you for this song..my grandma and I listen to it together..she would be a big fan! She has passed..yet when I hear this she is still here..thanks for that..awesome song!

That guitar gets me every time and then the vocals kick in. It’s been 10 years and it never fails.

he never plays a song the same way twice. it's both obnoxious and fantastic..

good gracious that snarl is everything. I can't resist a good, rough voice bellowing out some soul tunes, this is perfection

This performance/song/writing/art/human/man/gloriousness/delicious fire of perfection ... is how I can stay alive.

Seeing him performing live was enchanting. Shakey Graves has only grown in his talents over the last 10 years and his stage presence is like nothing I've ever seen

I'm a straight 40 year old virgin man and watching this made my water break.

RIP Alex Chapa. After so many obstacles you faced you conquered them all and went out like a Legend. Went from convict, to fireman eventually winning rookie of the year firefighter. You will be missed forever my brother. Houston legend. December 30, 1996 - April 4, 2021

I saw him in Santa Fe last summer. Fantastic artist, loves to have fun while playing his music. One of my contemporary favorites for sure.

As 10 years of life blows by in a blink.......Shakey came along for the ride everywhere I traveled..

wow...it's a breath of fresh air, at least good music isn't completely dead. Real Talent, This is what should be on the radio.

Sure he can act, he can sing, he can play guitar, he can drum with his feet, he can write music but can he change a tire? Because I can change a tire....

You have more talent then 99% of Hollywood

10 years later still coming back to this magnificent performance

Congratulations on your Ten year anniversary of “Roll the Bones”! Love you Shakey! Keep rockin baby!

This makes me want to dance around every time I hear it, it goes straight to my soul makes me feel so happy and excited!

How amazing!!! It's that simple. Too much talent and style inside of 1 man. It's truly incredible.

Lyrics [Verse 1] Yeah, so it goes, yeah, so it goes That sweet heirloom, them abbey stones Oh, take a chance and roll the bones Cut off your hair, unplug your phone Yeah, and sell your belongings, all your clever drawings Yeah, try to make a dollar from the grave Sell your belongings, all your clever drawings Try to make a dollar from the grave Oh, but who's to blame? [Verse 2] Yeah, so it goes, yeah, so it goes Them city boys in country clothes Oh, take a chance and roll the bones Go crash your car, burn down your home [Bridge] And try to forget all them enemies and debts Yeah, they'll just chase you 'round and give you sour dreams Try to forget all them enemies and debts Yeah, they'll just chase you 'round and give you sour dreams Oh, so it seems So it seems [Verse 3] Yeah, so struggle all you like Yeah, put up the good fight They say that someday everybody dies alone Yeah, struggle all you like Yeah, put up the good fight They say that someday everybody dies alone But hey, who knows? Yeah, hey, who knows? Yeah, hey, who really knows? Yeah, who really knows?

Pure musical genius. You know he has made someone very proud. Wow.

God gave this guy every ounce of my talent and almost everyone I know. Glad to see it's being put to good use!

If you still around in 2022 listening to this masterpiece, you deserve all the best the world has to offer

I saw him at a music festival in Ottawa. Blues fest, and I always go to the shows that aren't headliners, and that's how you find the gems. He's so great live.

heard this song in far cry 5 in the wolfs den, it was very faint but I was hypnotized and immediately scrambled to look up the song lyrics before it ended. and months later this song still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it

Good job! Been listening to this guy's music, never occurred to me it was just him, all him...thought it was a band.

I’ve listened to this song probably a hundred times but I’ve never seen him perform in a video or on stage and I’m blown away. I thought watching Colter Wall use a kick drum in his brewery session was impressive, and it still is, but this blows anything else I’ve seen out of the water. How a musician can do so much at once and still sound this good is amazing when I can barely play one of mine at a time

I've heard of him before. Never listened until 2 songs ago. Instant fan. Love his raw sound.
