DJ Shadow - Broken Levee Blues

[ProudAmericanlolz]

So he's a blues artist? :s any which way good sound!

[lespaul862]

Youtube's (and the internet in general) ability to introduce me to so many different artists that make AWESOME music that I wouldn't have found out about never ceases to amaze me.

[theweedpanda]

anyone know who the guitarist in this track is? am i wrong in assuming it's not dj shadow?

[disc0stupid]

This is a tribute to sufferers of the Katrina hurricane in 2004. Moving stuff.

[kingduffy22able]

lol returned to the video to see stuck up dick heads who get into other peoples arguments stop hating and go find something else to do most of you are Americans any ways so I'm not surprised...... get a life lads

[techboy1996]

THIS IS DJ SHADOW , NOT 50 CENT OR EMINEM , SHUT THE FUCK UP .

[kingduffy22able]

@OuroGoku fair enough why has 1 of ur comments been removed

[BlackLotus210]

@kingduffy22able

If it's one thing that I take is that I hate people that type "omg u r soooo funy" and can't have the type to spell it out, it shows that your education is way off and should probably go back to school before you can make a valid point. Granted you might just be trolling everyone here but no one gives a fuck about 50 Cent because he gave up rap after Kanye whooped his ass in record sales, which I'm glad because we don't need that garbage going to the next generation kids.

[ShalomBeats1026]

@BlackLotus210

You are stupid.

[ProudAmericanlolz]

@BlackLotus210 What Kanye isnt garbage? :s Huh...  I never knew! lol thanks for that tidbit of information oh knowlegdable one : Dlol

[BlackLotus210]

@ProudAmericanlolz

I hate Kanye too.

[kingduffy22able]

@OuroGoku if u think i was implying toughness into my comment then go eat a jizz butty but tbh just dont hate on legends ok?

[kingduffy22able]

fuck the people who say hes better than eminem. why dont u leave eminem alone fuck these fake rappers who rap about how they had a shit life eminem did have a shit life for example 50 cent his parents were rich as fuck when he was growing up yet he said his life was shit fuck them man and fuck DJ shadow the guys a faggot

[daniel27121993]

@kingduffy22able u sound like ur 12 bro

[EyMeng]

@daniel27121993 he's just showing you that he's "hep" to today's youth

[luisisred]

@kingduffy22able "He grew up without a father and was raised by his mother, Sabrina, who gave birth to him at the age of fifteen. Sabrina, a cocaine dealer, raised Jackson until the age of twelve, when she was killed in 1988. Twenty-seven at the time, she became unconscious after someone drugged her drink"....rich ass parents, not that I like his music...

[Sensaye25]

@kingduffy22able Fifty Cent did not grow up with rich Parents. He was raised in Jamaica Queens by his Grandparents actually. His Mother was a pimp, among other things. I don't know where you heard his Parents were rich, but it couldn't be further from the truth. In any case, who cares? Why does someone's upbringing determine whether or not they can make dope music?

[saharahottie]

i wrote this title on my desk in sharpie because i liked the guitar so much that i wanted the tabs. lol



[Dashiepie1]

Anyone else think it kinda sounds like Murs talking in the beginning?

[epicalice]

I said DAMN SON. The instruments on this album are superbly collaborated!

This be good shit!

[SlickPopz]

Thankyou DJ SHADOW for giving me a break from mainstream. sometimes people just need that.

[ricardo7oo]

Awesome

someone should put a beat in this

[PrehistoricThesaurus]

@ricardo7oo ___I'll begin preparations immediately._____

[saharahottie]

@ricardo7oo

put some slow chill dubstep bass in here.(;

[MusicUniverseMs]

good music:D

[Zvire09]

again and again...why it's so short :(

[hangikjet]

@TheKenzo0710 i can only hope to be still chillin' when i'm 63

[jdubs4201]

This song flippin is amazing.... Getting a chance to see Shadow July 15 at the Rave in Milwaukee....

[SlickPopz]

THUMBS UP IN YOU DID A AIR GUITAR. LOL

[PrehistoricThesaurus]

@SlickPopz i hella had to right as the music peaked as i read this

[jaemoon2]

what the fuck is dj shadow even doing in this track!???????????

[MeNotThatKindofOrc]

@jaemoon2

!

This is one of the few great tracks on this album IMO

[BastardoBabbo]

Wooden ships on the water very free...

[MrSlaveMentality]

stevie ray vaughan riff?

[MidwayMo]

What do you say to people who have no homes?

Is it Astrodome, or Superdome, or move in with a relative

But then that’s relative. When you have to move from NO to Alaska

Or Utah and you saw how they feel about you on the news.

[Hastiin78]

You saw how they feel about you in the news!

[betoslava]

Whoooaa! Magic solo! Amaaaaziiiiing...

[cerritos2007]

Man dj shadow should of made this song more longer cuz this is fucking dope!!!

[nitrooo123]

unbelievable smooth guitar solo, wow

[sikthsikth]

0.45 = band on the run

[Luckyducky10]

I wish this song was longer.

[OrganicGreen157]

@Luckyducky10

here you go:

0:00

[democratusnostradams]

Unbelievable, this music is so great and amazing

DJ shadow if you read this and see this, i just wanna say thanks bro.

[No1WaveRider]

when you hear the name dj shadow you really don't expect this :o

[WarPenguinGuy]

@No1WaveRider True. But it doesn't mean it ain't good. :D

[kennabenna77]

[Kingdagmarius]

reminds me of the chill vibe of doobie ashtray...lightin' it up right now;)

[McHollyProductions]

Oh my goodness this guy is awesome. Badass synth and what not. Thanks again Jonathan! <3

[TheKipKadillac]

I wish the rest of The Outsider sounded more like this.

[StormySees]

How in the hell to click "not like" to this??

[geosweep]

The intro has the same kinda feel and tone as Red House by Jimi Hendrix. Both just a really chilled vibe. Definately sounds like a strat anyway!

[royaliste2000]

I wish i could play the guitar like this.

[luky05loser]

i loved when dj shadow embraced the so called hyphy culture on this album, but i can't find any of those songs.... i guess i gotta buy the cd again, after it was stolen twice!

[urgassful]

such a sick tune.

[irishmurphy4]

@urgassful suck my sick tune

[torradpolska]

fantastic track...

[uboweeg]

Guitarist is called Joe Gore. Played with Tom Waits amongst others.

[Yonny32]

yeaaahhhh K PEPINAKOOOO!!!!!

[BASSFACEDUBWISECHAMP]

anyone know the name of the guitarist ?

[bleekis]

Katrina, Katrina go away ... come again another day.

[bleekis]

Damn, this is some laid back shit ...

[thuymoney]

i need to learn how to play this

[bucky19man]

is this an original guitar or is it sampled does anybody know?

[JANUARY185]

@bucky19man, sampled

[frugward86]

@JANUARY185 I know Private Press and Endtroducing are mostly sampled but I think shadow took a different aproach to the tracks on this album.

[TEXpanteraAS]

@JANUARY185 wait. so if this is not shadow, then whos playing the guitar?

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@bucky19man

its shadows friend

i duno his same hes not on a label or anything i believe

search it on google with the song title

[latashasidibay]

This is what making love to a guitar sounds like. Love it! Hung on to every note when I first heard it. DJ Shadow is the best music discovery i've made yet.

[psandhu]

this song is quite romantic acoustic stuff!!! damn good....

[muhbawz]

Haven't touched my guitar in months. After hearing this....yeah I think its about time I do :)

[TalibanAkaMarcelo]

What kind of music is this??

[DJMC141]

@TalibanAkaMarcelo DJ Shadow music. :P

[TheReasonBeingMusic]

LOVE this tune. Just finished a cover of it, check it out if you have the time :) Shadow is the man.

[iguanamarie]

i didnt like his outsider album... c'mon man!

[xxUppercut]

@iguanamarie Some of the tracks were good. Most of them were bleh though. Endtroducing ftw?

[iguanamarie]

@xxUppercut yup, and so The Private Press

[JohnnySpaceLace]

DAMN!!!

[penny29p]

shadow has sucked since he stopped experimenting with samples, old jams, samples, and most sound altogether. happened after the private press. Was art in my opinion at the time. sad since the dude had lots of potential then.

[mrscovil]

love this song,love this album. private press is good too.

[JERZEY555]

man it kind of reminds me of hendrix

[Solo1Graff]

This song tells a story.

[sanskrt1984]

wat is this man, i almost cryed of hapiness when i started listening to this orgasm song wtf

[ADAtl11]

@sanskrt1984 ITS DJ SHADOW MAN!!!!!

[ArUlric7]

pretty good song, concidering the rest of the album with all that Yo Yo Yo dawg shit going on.... totally unrelaxed, what's your deal dj shadow?

[letsgetFREE420420]

nobody cares

[Daniellimit1]

What do you say to people that have no homes?

[JackOfKills101]

Yeah Im getting metal legs. The doctor says its risky, but I think its worth it. Im just a human, but Im working on that. IM A ROBOT, COME HUMP THE GAY ROBOT!

[bluesfunk77]

O.k lads put your dicks away! Its music for everyone to enjoy -Once you start trying to force it into a genre,your playing the marketing game-and we dont want them scumbags telling us whats what do we?? As Miles Davis said "theres only two types of music " Good and bad" Can ya Dig it?

[cabasse]

holy shit, this album is already 4 years old. been a shadowhead for going on a decade now and still haven't really gotten into it (but then again, i was way-late on endtroducing, maybe i'll eventually be able to get into it)

[Noelusmaximus]

as Eminem says - NOBODY LISTENS TO TECHNO!

The Shadow is the king of MASH - i have loved his sound for years - its timeless

[DaSi14]

Nobody listens to shitty techno.

[fatherprime]

lol such controversy.

"stop whinning!" -The Governator.

dj shadow picks good tunes from a massive underground vault of records. he likes music, and has good taste. types don't matter. anything that has a good vibe. can ya dig? this is good music for a viper. if you can survive hard times. you feel this.

[Strymn]

It's a great song, but not what I am looking for in my techno search.

[Masterhobo]

fuck your robot ears

[Strymn]

Your a touchy little fellow

[iamthejake2000]

well it's not called "broken levee techno", is it?

[JJJUICEBOX]

This song changed my life.

[TheMarijuanaTube420]

I'm feeling like a groovy hippie here what a sweet sounding tune. Nobody gives a fuck

[Baxxter101]

Nah man, plenty of people still give a fuck. We just appreciate an amazing relaxing groove. You ignorant hippies are the fucking problem, you associate feeling with reality... Such fail... Hippies are responsible for most of the manipulation techniques modern marketers take advantage of... Fucked if they knew it though.

[empispeedshop]

This song has a vibe and attitued it has fuck all to do with any subculture its music end of story

[treskil]

It's a pity that this song is so short ;/ I would like it to last forever!

[crunkss]

this good great with a healthy serving of herbs

[ColdNova75]

@crunkss you sound like my kind of cook ;)

[mtb416]

What a sweet sounding riff.....0:50

[alejandro15187]

I still listen to entroducing almost every day.

[JJJUICEBOX]

@ alejandro15187, as do I.

[Baxxter101]

@JJJUICEBOX.... Whats up with all the removed comments man....

[guyinyoureye]

@alejandro15187 really? i thinkn something is wrong with me cuz i never really "got" that albume. but this and private press took up about 3 years of my life.

[msroxy871]

@alejandro15187 me too i tryin forget about outsider cd but i liked 2or 3 track and thats it

[FireFeenux]

@alejandro15187 For Sure That Record was the Bizness I Carry It With Me On My Psp And Bump It All The Time, Everyday...

[mikedrud]

He's so all over the place with his music, but there's a steady groove to all of it, a vibe, an emotional quality that unifies it all.

Very cool.

[Betillo555]

1:22

Nobody cares

Nobody cares

Nobody gives a fuck

u_u melancholic music... good blues

[SilentBombr]

I wasn't too keen on this album.

[foz696]

anyone know who actually played this originally or what its sampled from....

[DEZxINTEGRAL]

Who?

[GritCityDisciple]

If a song gives me glossy eyes without being lifted - then it must be a pretty fucking good song... haha

[sk8atmartsboy]

**long live dj shadow, the mellowmaster of djness haha xD**

[TheBeatsMasta]

this would make a good hook

[Tennisers]

really nice electric blues

[Boskovic1987]

This song should be wayy longer, its soo good.

[44pullups]

sometimes i wish i smoked pot and ate chips. i think when i hit 80 i'll sit down by the ocean and light some shit up

[SkateMentallity]

@44pullups

Give me a call my friend, and we can enjoy the waves.

[nevo138]

i smoke right now but i cannot for a good amount of my life. i think i will join you when u are 80 and im old as well and me u and skte mentallity could roll up a fatty and watch the waves with dj shadow beats playin behind us ha good thoughts

[lildrummerboy874]

@skatementallity I'd gladly join you guys, with a j in hand if thats cool

[DaSi14]

That's all I'm going to do when I'm old. I'll blaze all day everyday with a fat blunt in hand and blame it on the Alzheimer when people ask :P

[Kdnce]

@44pullups No you won't

[BleuTubes]

@44pullups - Don't forget the mojito or caipirinha :-)

[Habaneroin]

@44pullups what does that comment even mean

[XEcutioneer]

@44pullups Hellz Yeah

[WC9456]

@44pullups if you wish you did that why not just do it? hahaha

[audios100]

@44pullups right on, right on. Maybe see you there, and we will get high to this, rock on friend.

[goldfya]

@44pullups This is the first time I have heard this track and I saw the link after listening to, El Michels Affair - Uzi (Pinky Ring) I smoked a blunt half an hour ago and started eating potato chips just now, then I scroll down and I read your comment.

[MisterDukers]

@44pullups 80?

what's wrong with right now? who says you aren't going to die in a car accident today? you have no way of knowing if you'll be alive that long, don't put off experiences. Don't try to push them either just let it flow.

[benopolly]

@44pullups You sir, are lacking mental capacity. In case you didn't get the memo, prohibition has killed over 30,000 in the past 4 years. Either that or your a succesful troll

[zainal77]

@44pullups

why wait?

it's been proven in studies to be much less harmful than tobacco or alcohol....both of which are legal

[maomaotittymcmao]

@44pullups i recommend hawkins cheezies, made with 100% canadian cheddar, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

[tfsh]

TAB needed!

[jeezymaster]

very nice comment dude :D

[justin9211]

Dude definitely know what thats all about reminds me of a hendrix song

[seeyournamehere]

that was a perfect comment for this song:)

[Asianboi803]

this is so relaxing, something to listen too when you just want to stand back from the world...

[isitcoal]

seriously stop spamming nobody is gonna view your gay dj shadow website

[MarioLoco03]

i love this track

[PKAfroMonkey]

well im groovin just fine...=]

[SmoothBurn]

Guitar reminds me of Hendrix... Awesome, and relaxing, but I wish it was longer.

[ganondorf22]

si si.

[Hellamar]

nice )

[MildYellowColour]

"It's a song about life, death, love, hate, wealth, poverty, racism... just a few things that've been runnin' through my head."

- In-Flux? I think.

[eb0nikz]

i think this track is perfect as is =]

[pmsan29]

everything up to endtroducing, preemptive strike and Private press were 100% samples.

[tgfasmo]

dude i still can find this guitar tabs, since i came out lol,

[ItsAroundMidnight]

my fav off the outsider,,, shadow is genius

[StanleyDonwood]

If this wasn't so good I'd have my work done -.-

[roisin224]

The last time I checked I had all my limbs and they all worked.

[ganondorf22]

hm? so?

[noremacProduction]

i love this song,

But id love it if there was a some heavy drum beats in it,

and not that guy talking in begginging of song.,

AND IF IT WAS LONGER.. its like..5 seconds long -.- cant get your groov on in 2:12 mins

atleast...5

[Stikjosha]

oh and for the people who plays guitar

there are just 2 chords at the begin. start at the 7th fred the next chord starts at the 12th fred. Use your thumb and improvise on that! good luck

[Stikjosha]

waw ! smooth men . Reminds me of hendrix. Never knew that dj's can make this wicked stuff

[wout112]

Is there any news about a new DS album? Hope he makes a oldskool album. Although I like this song.

[djgiga]

On his my space he says he has already starting work on a new album and it sounds like he is producing it. But thats as much as he wants to say.

[Satiaraha]

excuse me can somebody make a cover of this song because i been try it but it' miss some acords to finish this song perfect

[droznig]

Anyone know any artists that have consistent guitar riffs similar to this one? Or even what kind of music you would call it? Gota love DJ shadow for being so damn versatile.

[TomakaBonzo]

shadow=fucking master DJ

[davidshmail87]

The only albums Shadow made completely with samples were 'Endtroducing..." and "The Preemptive Strike".

[ganondorf22]

He needs to go back to full-on sample mode. Nothing's been as good since then.

Except this track is nice. And there's some good stuff on The Private Press. I think Shadow's at his best when his music is more instrumental-based and not so much vocal-based. That part on The Private Press where some guy butts in singing 'Your ideals have betrayed you' and all that completely ruined the track for me.

[Brom24]

blood on the motorway? that was a kick ass song! the vocals were kinda cheezy, but it was short so i didnt care... giving up the ghost and 6 days were awesome on private press. the outsider has good songs too, altough some were too gangsta for me...

ohh man are you serious. i mean i respect your opinion cuz i can tell you know what your talking about but personally i loved "blood on the motorway"
