I've been coming back to this performance for years

[mattjarrels]

How does he always seem to find the perfect chords for that happy sad sound I love so much??

[BrandonDavidMusic]

hands down the best version of this song. Not just the live version, but this particular take.

[kentborges]

Kurt played "GOLDTONE", the second time I saw him. AMAZING. He said he would play it at the fourth show but he was with COURTNEY B. Ready to see him again in OREGON !

[johnloughrey]

beautiful song, goldtone has lifted me up, helping me through some of the darkest times of my life!!!!

[Bessmaster]

Such a dope song. I always get lost in it.

[JiggleBilly]

one of those artists that just sounds better in a live setting I like this more than the album version. Incredible!!

[leawilliams]

I love how mellow and feel-good his music is. No one does it like Kurt.

[andybonavitacola]

This is a great song.  Just started listening to KV and the Violators in the past 6 months and he's quickly become a favorite.

[gothenburg]

fucking tune, why am I only discovering this Oct 2019??

[kentborges]

" FREAK TRAIN " is another fave !

[cackhandedchimp]

Those opening 40 seconds. That's the Golden Tone!

[Jamesdhillegas]

Just put on a KV playlist any morning any day and you'll be gooood

[kevinperry]

Love the slide guitarist rocking two pair of glasses.

[gustavocosta]

This guitar sounds like a sword cutting something. Very accurate and merciless.

[aidanconvery]

True, organic, skilled music as in the 60s, is 70s.

[dhss]

Why only 40, 000 ? Pearls before swine?!

[Guywho_is]

is this in the key of A? Quizzing myself

[onyachamp]

wow and I didn't even know Arj Barker played bass
