Daniel Johnston - speeding motorcycle, glasgow

[TrikiraNightElfHunt]

Man this guy is fantastic.



[termite93]

this song reminds me of jamaica

[thereallew]

This guy sucks at singing

[7694jack]

urgh, he is so fucking awesome.

[martiguide]

i like the part from 2:13 to 2:25 the best!;)

martin

[predzhead]

i got to see daniel last summer in nashville @ the mercy lounge..it was an awsome show..g.b.

[reekytex]

i love this version his voice is lower than usual

[negirto69]

I think, this man is uniqe in this kind of music. Thanks Daniel.

[chazyfm]

Man. I could not imagine ANYTHING more exciting than watching this guy live!??

It's number one on the list of things to do before I die!

[reekytex]

i went on a website to see if he was touring... nope :'[

[LhisesII]

This appears in Yo la Tengo's Fakebook, I love this song!

[williemac1]

i was there too,it was a totally surreal gig.

an awsome talent,

it was a shame to see him shaking and so on,but to hear him live,was unbeleivable,got a ticket for the july gig,roll on!!!!!

[Bowlieweekender]

I think he is exhibiting tardive dyskinesia. Saw him on stage last week in Portland and it was way worse. Tragic to watch but brilliant to hear him.

[quantumdriven]

You're talking about the side effect of Haldol, right?

I've heard him rock this song, but this is a toned down version, and probably because he's having a bad meds day.

[anitasseo]

hablan zarpado mientras tienen a esta BESTIA enfrente, pero no sorprende viniendo de ingleses, creen q son el centro del mundo; recuerden el desprecio q le hicieron a dylan cuando empezó su etapa eléctrica/AMAZING how they keep chatting having this BEAST in front of them, but not so amazing coming from the english, they always think they´re center of the world. remember the SCORN they gave to dylan when he started his electric era? they DEMANDED him to give them autographs after they booed him

[Peitzsucks]

Daniel is the best!

If you don't like Daniels art you have no heart!!!!!!!!

[chestertouristcom]

where was this recorded ?

[oowya]

glasgow, indian summer 2007

[taliesyn88]

Daniel is bipolar, and he probably is having extrapyridimal effects from the medication he is on. This causes the involuntary shaking of the hands. Sadly, the meds also can rob a person of their artistic capability. Johnston is a great artist, most gifted people do stray from the "norm", so what??? It is better than being boring!!!!!

[msa1985]

yeah woohooo lets all laugh at this maniac and his infantile songs

Fucking indie faggots. No dignity

[maireadsgay]

they're not laughing.

it's not dignified to use the word faggot

[xBONESstyle]

you're kidding yourself if that crowd gives a shit about his music. judging by how many of them were shouting at each other while he sang, maybe 20 percent cared so much as to actually let him have the stage. they did the same thing to wesley willis, too.

the term faggot is lame, but so is being an obnoxious fratboy turd.

[maireadsgay]

hah, to me it sounded like they were singind along.

the term faggot is lame, we agree.

but when you use the word turd you just sound like you're 11.

[kuvermatic]

well, well, well you don´t know the fratboy stereotype, or do you?

otherwise you would render turd as appropriate or even understatement

[misomercy]

Danny

Please stop drinking the Dew, i think that will help alot

[Aphex1son]

Long Live Daniel !

[misomercy]

why isnt dan playing the guitar? why is he so twitchy? is he off his meds? are his parents still alive? man.......bless his parents...

[DavidBlaine1]

he shakes because of all the meds he's taken. they put him on so many different kinds of meds and a lot of them weren't even right for him. if you take a lot of depression medication in your lifetime develop this twitching shaking thing.

[mymoderatesuspect]

really? Man best friend is developing a twitch just like it. it's progressing each year, but he kind of had it before he started taking meds. he's manic too. But he's the only manicdepressive person I know so i can't make that judgement to say all of them shake.

[DavidBlaine1]

not all manic depressives get that... but you should tell him to get it checked out. i don't know, i'm no expert but they might put him on a muscle relaxant or something like that. does he have anxiety disorder?

[duglast]

Apart from the idiots talking this is wonderful. I was lucky enough to be there.

[oowya]

if you look closely, duglast... i think you'll see it's your head in the bottom left, sometimes takin photos.

[duglast]

It looks like my hair...Daniel is the greatest songwriting talent of the last 25 years.

[jorgbaits]

why is everyone fucking talking??

[windblownjack]

because people are fucking stupid thats why ......

[kipplemix]

It wasn't just people talking. It was really hard to hear because of Wilco playing so loudly nearby on the main stage.

[joselin1980]

fucking Wilco! awesome stuff from DJ though!

[LhisesII]

It must've been hard for Wilco to play at the same time since they're big fans of DJ
