Daniel Rossen - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Golden Mile is one of the most beautiful things Ive ever heard in my life.

I've probably watched this about 100 times now. sometimes for entertainment other times to study and learn the guitar parts; so I figured it was time to comment. Wow. Absolutely killer set and a perfect mix. Is anyone else totally obsessed with this?

Rossen is a monster: even his unreleased songs are far beyond what many another artist would release proudly. And that last, unnamed song is maybe the most powerful...

This man's guitar work is soo underrated... Beautiful. Can't wait for the new grizzly bear.

Dan always stands out in my mind as THE MUSICIAN I wish I could tell how much his art has improved my life. I will occasionally find myself tripping on the idea that the people who’ve made the music I love, aren’t making enough off their art to survive. Dan is always at the top of that list. Like, if Dan isn’t making a living from this, then the world is just fucked. It’s a genuine feeling that consumes me at times.

0:35 - golden mile 7:28 - silent song 15:40 - made to rise 19:25 - untitled

Daniel is one of the greatest guitarist and song writers of the 21st century

Man, that main riff in Golden Mile on the 12 string almost sounds like a violin accompanying the guitar. Wild.

this dude has some serious guitar skills

I was completely entranced by his performance. I see a passion in his music that I don't see in other artists music. And it's so genuine and heartfelt. He's really a treasure.

He’s still in another musical galaxy some of us wish we could touch, let alone comprehend writing masterpiece songs like that, the amount pure love and gentleness in his voice, the ups and downs of his guitar and the originality of his chords/sound. What a legend of a song writer. It’s bloody amazing, he out of anyone might like to know we’re still listening and love it.

The first songs guitar is.... immaculate. I got the same goosebumps as I did when I first heard the veckatimest (?) opener southern point. Total beast on the acoustic god bless

I'm an older guyy - 63. Haven't seen this kind of talent in a long while. Tnx.

So much joy in this music that it’s sad. This guy has got the glow.

Damn, I mean if people had respect for folk musicians now like they did for folk singers back in the day Daniel Rossen would be well known.

Saw him live around that time in Philly, about 20 feet away. Thanked him for everything he did after the show. Great musician and a gentleman.

Oh, god... His EVERYTHING is oh-so-glorious.

I luv all the g bear guys but rossen is the reason i listen to them!

hell of a guitarist/singer/song writer. true triple threat....my favorite piece of grizzly bear.

I've always loved him in Grizzly Bear, but this is phenomenal. Definitely the most talented person I think I have seen play on KEXP. He is just so damn good at guitar, and comes up with such unique lines.

I’m so glad that this video exists. I don’t know how many times I’ve played it. I don’t even know how this radio host remained so calm, especially as a fan, she had a private show to herself practically. I probably would have lost all ability to function.

18:58 he even makes tuning the guitar sound beautiful

The way he's playing guitar paired with his great voice is just too good

Thinking he would have been really big thing in 70s makes me really sad, I still believe he will get bigger eventually though. :) And seriously, no one plays guitar like him. Such an unique guitarist!

This lady is the most lucky/blessed person alive fr 🖤

I am in awe of his talent.

My god this man is incredible

I love everything about his playing and his hauntingly humble vocals.

That string popping after such an immaculate first performance is the core of Daniel's existence 🙌 😑

I love this version of Golden Mile

I haven't read one negative comment for this video. The power of the DR is undeniable.

holy shit that song with know name is fuckin outta control, a song that really makes the sun rise man... ... what a boss

He's fantastic, so why isn't he well known

The way he plays that 12 string just fucking blows my mind.

In "Untitled", it's practically impossible to guess what chord comes after the other. Most songs have a pattern to follow in the musical scale. Daniel does the opposite. That's genius

SO talented, seems like whoever he chooses to make music with, himself or with others, he absolutely blows it away. Amazing.

I Love this beautiful man, and his ever-so-beautiful melodies.

The quantity of beauty here is so moving to me..I come back as much as I can

I can never get enough of his voice. I love when I'm at work (like now) and locate tunes from the likes of Daniel and just get swept away.

Wish Daniel would release more solo material.

What an amazing talent.

i just cant with this its so good. Happy 420

i hope more people come to appreciate this man's music. the Silent Hour/Golden Mile EP is fantastic. it would be awesome to see these songs played with full band because the arrangements are so beautiful. ...and the voice could have used a little reverb or delay here.

I love this man

Just incredible. Thank you Daniel!

Having the internet finally pays off....I could listen to this all day. Too bad I won't be able to see him play live :(

The best

This guy is AMAZING !!

He DELIVERED

This dude carries Thom Yorke's torch for me.

Daniel is a pure musician and a true person

I absolutely love him.

It'd be great of you guys had these sessions released like EPs. Rossen is such a genius!

Ah, the blessings are many.

in love with his style of playing

Thanks for this Daniel and KEXP. Sounds amazing. I hope to get to see a solo performance live someday.

he's genius, such a great inspiration

So powerful. Such an incredible musician.

mesmerizing stuff

Jesus this is so good.

Love Love Love him !

I love this version

“Just finished this song yesterday so it might be a little funny” like bro wtf I wish I could write music like that

Awesome artist ! Thanks for this 👍🏻

I love him so much. He's as amazing live as are his studio recordings if not better.

I didn't even notice or realize his string snap on his other guitar, even after watching this video HUNDREDS of times. It was just this time now I finally did.

Cheryl and Daniel, not sure which one I love the most

Daniel Rosen tuning is an actual result on Google.

That last song is incredible, to discard it would be a travesty.

I'm sorry for Grizzly Bear, but the future of this dude is to leave the band and dedicate himself full-time to his solo career. His guitar technique is fascinating. It almost seems like a new version of Nick Drake ..

Love DR.

I guess it's time to give Grizzly Bear another listen, cause this is pretty good.

Perfection.

holy shit

....I 'm just gonna give up playing guitar now

2 NEW SONGS FROM DANIEL ROSSEN OH YES

daniel rossen you fucking boss

I love him.

23:44 is pure angelic bliss

I really don't appreciate his guitar playing enough. Golden Mile is masterwork.

beatiful. just beatiful. he is a genius.

Stellar

That last song is really great. I had to listed to it twice.

its a shame rossen’s career is during a decline in the popularity of rock (and especially the folkish stuff that rossen makes). if he made music in the 70s he would be a legend

Who could possibly dislike this, like wtf?

Genius....

Didn't know Martin Freeman was that gifted at playing guitar ! Incredible performance

this is some powerful stuff

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The department of grizzlies going lone wolf ;)

i really enjoy his music but that lady was really ready to get down on him

grate!!!

Reminding me of another guitarist I listen to - Laura Marling

Silent song is too good

wow! that Untitled song is mesmerising..

Grizzly Bear are amazing, I have every album. Daniel's is a slightly different flavour, but quite beautiful, and his EP is stunning! #grizzlybear

that untitled song... damn

FUCK, that chord at 24:57. So good.

fun fact: daniel gifted this old honey a cream pie as a parting gift after his set

+ Demolished Thoughts LP = Damn great!
