Sixto Rodriguez - I'm Gonna Live Until I Die

Rodriguez had just finished the main set for the night, and this is him coming out for the first encore. There was a band with him for the rest of the night, but this is the only song he played solo. This is at Richards on Richards in Vancouver June 22, 2009.

Unfortunately I don't have any more videos of Rodriguez from that night, but I do have 5 more videos of Steve McBean (Pink Mountaintops) playing.

i was so impressed with the song, i wrote down the chorus, in hope to search for the song on internet, i do have to say, i have listened to about 4-5 versions, and even Frank's version pales in comparasin to Rodriquez's, i hope he releases a live cd....

I thought the same thing. I listened to two versions, and none of them sounded as good as his.

The song is not his, many versions have been recorded, I was searching for the same answers, and Frank Sinatra had recorded a version of this same song... fantastic show... great video... thank you

I didn't even think about it being a cover! It was an amazing show. Thanks a lot

Rod's version is reminiscent of the power displayed in "Hurt" by Johnny Cash Written by Nine Inch Nails).
