Kurt Vile - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Pretty Pimpin...great riff. Fun to play, impossible to play and sing along to at the same time. The man has talent

RIP Rob Laakso. 44 was too young.

I love Cheryl

I love the way he quotes Sam Cooke ("don't know much about history") and The Band ("don't know much about the shape I'm in") in "Dust Bunnies". KV is obviously his own man, but you can hear all kinds of Americana influences, all coming together into something new.

How come KEXP live always have this amazing sound ? Failure live performance was astonishing !

something i love about Kurt Vile is that his songs are long, i can enjoy them fully for that reason.

A very nice vibe - laid back, relaxing, gliding down a road.

Loving the cookies on the Wurli, great design choice and practical snack feature

This type of music is why rock n' roll will never die! 🤘

Kurt is an extremely talented guitar player and song writer. I'll be a lifetime listener.

The Philadelphia Dream Machine. His haze has been in the background of my life for a few years now and he's only getting better. Hope he's writing tunes for decades to come.

Goldtone is just soo gorgeous... could listen to it on repeat forever

I have seen this so many times, great performance & interview.

They definitely have the Gold tone on this performance. Every instrument sounds dialed in.

Kurt has finally peaked, never been better, this is pure magic.

Discovering there's a new Kurt Vile and the Violators performance on KEXP is great way to spend a lazy Sunday.

That version of Pretty Pimpin kicks ass, guys look so laid back but the sounds are going bananas!!

so special....really brings back my faith in humanity ❤

dust bunnies..really on point. Goldtone blew me away. So grateful to have kexp locally on my radio

This + Comfy Couch + Weed = Heaven

One of my favorite artists of the past 10 years. So lucky to interview him in 2009 on the lawn of a local bar. Thank you KEXP....I've haven't heard a bad song yet. Prolific and I'm predicting he's going to be one of the biggest superstars of this generation. The arrow is going up big time.

Only recently found Kurt, but he seems to find so many beautiful riffs, many so simple, but just's brings great songs together, love this band. (Kevin, UK)

My dad introduced me to his music. It took me a while to truly start appreciating his music, but I must say, he is a phenomenal artist!

I'll go out on a limb and say that Lou Reed would be proud of this young badass singer songwriting band. Great to hear that the torch is still burning bright!

I just recently got hooked on a song "Pretty Pimpin'" I love the song and really enjoy this performance. Awesome!

This is so good! Love the sound and Kurt's voice.

So psyched to see him in Louisville, KY next year. Could listen to Kurt Vile all day.

This is great! I love this combination of musicians and the new stuff.

I just discovered Kurt Vile streaming WZRD from Chicago up here in Wisconsin. I Shazammed "Rollin With the Flow," and am I glad I did. Kurt kills as a songwriter and singer, and he's a fascinating guitarist. Doesn't do traditional "leads" but mixes up all the chords and rhythms to lay down a nice bed of sound. The guys he plays with are awesome as well. I've only scratched the surface in the past two days, but "Pretty Pimpin" is my latest favorite song. It just keeps up this drone and beat, and the imagery is just so cool.

wonderful performance. thanks again kexp

Love Kurt Vile!!! THANKS KEXP!!

Great! I love KEXP. Cheers from Brazil!!!

Shoutouts to Cheryl Waters, the best mom we never had

This album is awesome. I just discovered Kurt Vile like not even a week ago I but Love em'.

Kurt Vile is the best new talent to come along in years! And he sounds original to me. Vocally he doesn’t sound like anybody else and he’s an incredible guitarist! And one more thing, Vile could join almost any band and fit right in as a second guitar 🎸 or backing vocals or lead. He’s so versatile! Thanks KEXP and RU-vid!

I love this show it seems like he's either nervous or baked either way it's honest

hoooooly! i just discovered them! i'm in love

Never heard them before!! But definetly im increasing my playlist with his music!!

I can't wait to listen to the new album on a long roadtrip out West. The perfect soundtrack to cruising down the highway, windows down, rowing through the gears on a sunny summer day.

Kurt and the Violators sound absolutely entrancing live. I don't go to a lot of live music, but this band is one I'm dying to see. I only wish I could've gotten Lollapalooza tickets this year to see them in Chicago. I fell in love with them this past winter and I can't get enough!

I was amazed at the groups sound. Kudos...

what a beautiful show, thanks!

As I type this and listen along, on 4/13/16, I am thrilled to find a good new artist. I am always actively in search. It is out there. I found another example that rock music is not dead.

That solo at the end of Dust Bunnies kills me every time...

That Dust Bunnies track does indeed sound "man oh man great!!"

thanks KEXP for the great upload by Kurt! u guys rock!

I forgot how much i love this guy!

Thank God for this.

So gifted & love Kurts natural personality on stage✌️

This was a pleasure. My ears are happy.

Oh wow, love this so much!!!

Dust Bunnies was my favorite song l heard last year

I never heard something better in a long time.

style is so fresh, great music coming from L.A really

Love these versions. A little heavier than on the record. So good.

Pretty Pimpin brings tears to my eyes to this day.

I love his Jaguars.

That last song was so awesome.

Just great! Drummer is awesome too, looks so relaxed!

I will never let go of Paul. the jam the style council are completely overlooked in the states. but they did put a stamp here when I was young. legendary songwriting and complete cool.

Magnificent, Kurt Vile

Say what you like about this type of rock n roll but I think we can all agree that they’re just a nice well spoken group of young men. Thanks KEXP!

I just really enjoy listening to this. Such a great soundtrack for my day. Nostalgic yet new. Great stuff man! err, men I guess!

i love the way he doesn't "as they say, touch that stuff"...

Just finding out about Kurt Vile because he opened for Wilco on Saturday night at solid sound in Massachusetts. Loved what I heard and then found out he played with "War on Drugs". No wonder I like him! He kinda reminds me of Lou Reed, his singing style.

Good old fashioned rock and roll baby

I love when she hosts!

I'm boycotting every company that advertised to me in the middle of this video.

Ótimo som.Que qualidade musical, parabéns.

I love the 2-guitar sound on Pretty Pimpin!

So great!!!

Love how the guy pianist/keyboarder has those cookies lined up!

Awesome. Thanks.

I just bought his album, not because I had to but just to support an amazing artist.

so good.

Dude, that's rock n roll.

they are quite rad... that blue bass is really special as well!!!!

Yeah!!!! momento auriculares entrañable...

vocals are awesome

OmG he is sooo goood

This record is puro gold

I LOVE YOU CHERYL WATERS!

Awesome!

I love Kurt Vile. It is fun to see that even he cant really pull off pretty pimpin live its hard to play and sing at the same time.

Awesome stuff, appreciate the work you put in here: Green Grass and High Tides forever reminds me of Pretty Pimpin or vica verso. thx.

06:46 please don't point at me with that camera!

I like his sound. His vocals remind me of Neil Young.

OMG he is so so cool
