  • When he overdosed he was being sued by a fucking rich corporate hospital .

  • so nice!! I love this song, no worlds to say !!

  • there's been two years since Vic Chesnutt has been gone, and i still cant believe that we lost a genius like that. People like Vic shoulda live forever.

  • OMG!!! I just f...g died now! I envy everyone who actually was there!!!

  • Any word on when this will be out yet?

  • Shit.. So much soul in this, real fucking deal..

  • AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!

    We miss you so much Vic....

  • Epiphany 

  • shit, this hurts~

  • It breaks my heart everytime I realise I'll never now be able to see Chesnutt live.

  • Wow. That was awesome.

  • I cannot, CANNOT wait until this whole thing is released. Love Vic so much and can't wait to see the rest.

  • lennon..... I read the lyric before the song........ Everything he said means a lot... rest his soul in peace....

  • che potenza, era una forza della natura

  • So great. thx for uploading

  • sei un grande artista,capiranno con il tempo il tuo verbo.

  • no words... this is one of the best live vids I've ever seen.

  • the real deal

  • incredible

    

  • sugklonistikos....

  • I am unable to express how much this performance amazes me. This is the best live music video I've seen on youtube thus far. It's so dark, brutal, honestly emotional, crazy, epic, poetic - just intense in every way. I've watched this a dozen times now and still I sit here like hypnotized anytime I play it. What gives it a sad note  is that this guy killed himself a month later. He must have already made that decision - still he entertains his audience with and without music.

  • Who's the girl playing keyboards?

  • hey,42goatee,rock and roll is not about being clean,man.and there's no need to be a cynical asshole('trott').shave and go home.vic was a poet,one of the great ones,and this is the deepest performance i have ever seen or heard.rock in peace!

  • this is the first song of him that i heard nad i wish i 've heard more...i wish more of us had this passion singing...R.I.P.

  • Вельмі добра!

  • Google translation: "Very good!"

  • @darrylmeister that's right :)

  • Been too long since I listened to this. It just rips me apart every time but I need it so much. "Nothin' new was all she could muster..." The bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • been listening to music for thirty years and this one take is the best thing i have ever heard.

  • he is feeling every word he says .... this is what i call a musician ....RESPECT

  • Love you Vic. You are so incredibly missed. RIP

  • wow Guy looks old here

  • I see Trott still can't manage to get a clean sound out of a guitar after all these years...

  • brividi

  • Google translation: "chills"

  • Vic is the real rocknrolla!!!

    R.I.P.

  • bone-chilling performance.like lennon en cobain combined.it blew my mind!thank you,vic,see you in the great gig in the sky!

  • 2,40 te best moments eeee / moment kiedy wchodzi reszta muzyków

  • Did they play "You are never alone" at this concert? If so please post it. Post more Vic.  I think he never sounded better than when he played with Silver Mt Zion and Piccioto.

  • I love the Cowboy Junkies, their new cd pays tribute to Vic Chesnutt which opened me up to this awesome talent.

  • Vic had an uncanny ability to expose, or more accurately, make you see the darker side of life, and he did so in a very beautiful way. There is an unexplained common bond between the best artists and despair. Listening to Vic is very bittersweet, because even though we love the songs, the darkness in it all is entirely real. This man lived a very tormenting life, and had the gift of being able to let the rest of us know how fucked up everything really is, from a first person view. RIP Vic

  • @blueindian18 I never knew about him until I became paralyzed from the waist down. I got run over by a truck in a fight with someone who I loved very much so. I've always been keen to the darker side of life ever since I can remember, but there has never been someone before I feel as though I can relate to on so many different levels. It's sad that this has to happen, but it's a real part of overcoming a tragic accident. RIP Everything You Said is true.

  • At the beginning, i didnt understand the way he plays it...

    the way he plays it

    then I suddenly realized, and I exploded and keep crying the whole song...

    This guy made such a brilliant song, and many others, and died from despair the year next this version.

    this is pure sadness, and this made me feel better.

    but HE doesnt cry.

    Vic Chesnutt R.I.P : 25/12/09

  • if this doesn't make you feel something, you are already dead.

    requiescat in pacem, mr. chesnutt

    i know you are leaving graffiti dicks on the wall of the bathroom in heaven

  • Heartwrenching. 

  • wow.

  • why didn't someone help him to pay his hospital bills ?

  • @GoldBat12

    Ask to Michael Stipe... The friend who pay no bills but tributes

  • does anybody know what tuning vic used on this song?

  • @williemac1

    in a different live version of this song vic mentioned that it was in a minor key. I fooled around for a bit and I think this is G-minor is what u want... D G D G Bb D ... have fun

  • can any vic fans tell me what kind of pickup is in the nylon string guitar? sounds fn great, with distortion and w/o.

  • is there anything on the internet that beats this?

  • @blandatious  nope!

  • Please! Release this in DVD!!!!!

  • @dabilogan :my thoughts exactly!!!

  • Freak my butt! That is freaking awesome.

  • Why in the world would anyone dislike this?

    Saw Vic two weeks prior to this in Detroit. One of a kind, for sure.

  • This is what they called 'pure emotion'. I'm just blown away, thanks Vic. Hope you have find the peace.

  • Comment removed

  • vic, you have a new fan my little friend

  • "Whoo! You can clap now": in a word, brilliant. Would love to see more: hope this does get a wider release.

  • wow...this is truly incredible...

  • i think this may be the best thing on the internet. i hope vic is at peace.

  • Amazing wish he was more well known...r.I.p.

  • love love love

  • "In 1991 i moved to Athens, Georgia in search of God, but what I discovered instead was Vic Chesnutt."

    - Jeff Mangum

    heartbreaking, how real it feels. music to the core.

  • Ne ne ne- the big bad wolf. I really dont want to hear any more jam sessions with Vic culminating in Jam noise. C'mon. Jam sessions suck.

  • @MJSalls I'm pretty sure it's credited as Silver Mt Zion

  • Thanks for posting this. I helped shoot a Vic concert at St. Ann's Church for Jem Cohen a long time ago - I wonder where those tapes are? That was also a great night.

  • Magnificent and gorgeous!

  • Dear Vic. Just moved to Athens Ga. Missed you by a couple of months, I guess. I would have loved to meet you Vic. You will always live on to so many in this town and this world, Vic. RIP.

  • This song makes me freaking sad,

  • I have no idea what to say after watching, but most importantly hearing that. I am blown away. I have no idea what emotion I was feeling throughout the song, but nobody brings out more unknown emotions than that guy. Vic was a great talent and I will truly never forget the songs he wrote and the way he poured it all out there performing. Wow!

  • OMFG!!! That was quite amazing! Really quite speechless... stay cool Vic, wherever you are.

  • This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. Absolutely breathtaking, so intense and powerful

  • If anyone could send me a recording of this I will love you forever.

  • wow...lets talk about art people...

  • Never heard a song quite like this...exceptional!

  • Does anyone know the names of the other musicians? (Sorry about my english. I´m just a german Kraut ;-)

  • @trickser73

    guy piccotto used to be in fugazi (the guitar player with the black rickenbacker)

  • It's Guy Picciotto from Fugazi with the glasses and Rickenbacker guitar (far left). Don't know the other guys, though...

  • @Beepkris The other guys are members of A Silver Mt. Zion (some of them were formerly in Godspeed You! Black Emperor). All excellent musicians on that stage. Vic will be missed.

  • Thanks for posting great quality clip. Still feel sad about Vic's death.

  • amazing. rest in peace amigo.  i would like to hear him perform alone. will search those performances out.

  • That was intense. I just found out about this guy 10 minutes ago and I'm oh so glad that I did.

    RIP

  • this. is. just. totally. awesome.

  • I will watch this many times. Fantastic.

  • This is fantastic. SO powerful, the band, Vic's throat-shredding vocals - all of it. The guy was incredible. And funny. A sad loss but what a lot of good stuff he left behind. If anyone hasn't listened to his entire back catalogue I suggest you do so right now. What are you waiting for?

  • @drumgold23 wait. . . he died?? wtf?!

  • Such an incredible badass-cum-brilliant songwriter. May he rest in peace.

  • Спасибо! Понравилось очень!

  • great musician, may he rest in peace and repose in the great Olympian.

  • In 1993, a girlfriend in my old hometown made 'West of Rome' part of my required listening. Soon after, 'Is The Actor Happy?' became part of my soundtrack to rooming-house squalor in the big city. In 2003, of my own volition, I bought a copy of 'Left to His Own Devices'; an album that reflected the fragmentation I felt was happening to me at the time. Now, 2010, I only hope that one day Vic will get the recognition he deserves. R.I.P. Vic, You are Remembered.

  • Losing this guy is very sad, supreme video, cool sound as well...very enjoyable ...

  • cool CHECK MY VIDS good song

  • HE'S DEAD? what a shame first time ive seen it and hes dead! Good song rest in peace dude least he got out there and done it! much RESPECT!

  • Died on X-mas day too. Sad.

  • puta show!

  • VIc has always been near and dear to my heart for many years. I've been working on getting a benefit concert together in the area with myself and some other local musicians. Had a conversation with him once outside the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC. He was a humble, down to earth man. May He rest in peace.

  • Supimpa! ^^

  • Oseeaa los mas grandes siempre estaran en el recuerdo!

  • Comment removed

  • LOVE IT!

    RIP

  • отличная песня!!!!! отличный голос....шикарное исполнение!!!

  • Rest gently tormented angel.

    Sensitive souls need to rally to the common cause of each others existance.Sometimes we must help to shoulder each others burdens "in this glorious but simple plane".Despair is torture.

    I heard Vic had financial burdens.Where where his friends in december?Where were the rich r.e.m boys?

    The truth will out.You shall never be forgot,tender spirit

  • Goodnight, sweetheart. x

  • Can someone find out the meaning to this song
