I met alex g a couple hours after this set. I was alone, away from the major stages and he was walking by with his band. I told him he did an awesome job. He walked over to me and thanked me, and i told him he was my favorite artist. He tried to read my gosha shirt and told me he had been learning russian on his phone. His band members had left him but we had a five minute convo. I didnt ask for a picture, i thought it'd be dehumanizing
I've learned the hard way that the personal experience is much more rewarding than asking for a picture and rupturing whatever chance you have at living in a real moment with that individual. Good call m8
when i saw him in 2022 hatchie opened and she said "the difference between me and alex is that i say 'thanks so much for coming out guys' and alex just goes 'thanks ALOT'" and that's stayed in my head 4ever
I remember being here in 2018 when I lived in Chicago. Bittersweet to the bone. Hard not to get a litte choked up. This show will always remind me of Chicago. In Detroit now, but this is a core memory.
@@welofelo Well I don't feel so bad now. I agree and hope to see him one day with a good crowd as well. I think perhaps many people at ACL didn't know of him too well as opposed to an actual venue where the people who go have the intention and know who he is. The musical exploration aspect of festivals probably had a lot to do with this. He did play fairly early in the day too if I remember correctly.

Sam is one of the most creative guitarists i've ever heard.
true, sam is a huge influence on alex i think
i loved when he was just hitting the fret board during kicker so cool
(honestly curious bc im just getting into playing guitar) why is that? what do u think makes him a creative guitarist?
@@Liberate269i was wondering that too
@@Liberate269 6:26
I love when musicians make eye contact while playing and smile or nod a lil. that's some wholesome shit. life is beautiful

"quiet! shut up! we can't do one more song!" dear god please let every band rest in peace in this mantra amen and amen
Absolutely Beautiful performance of Witch!
it's fuckin wild
This version of kicker is so good it makes me want to watch every other version of it geez
And Sportstar
For Kicker one at the Haunt Ithaca 2019 is my personal favorite. Sportstar its gotta be this one.
@@thesingerforthedeaf Yes I love that slow build up. They can't seem to do any wrong with that song.

Love your channel

everything he makes activates something in my cold dead heart and makes me ☄️ what is that about
Theres something beautiful about 37:45. The crowd cheering as that beautiful piano part starts.
Yeah
18:55 Angry school teacher type beat
I get jealous when people tell me they like Alex G cuz I don’t want to share him
Thats kinda cringe man

Right
Me too :
L you should want people to be successful
2:55 “open ur mouth” *thru gritted teeth*
I love Brite Boy .....
@Eric Andre yep
The brick to sports star transition is so perfect
give the man some reverb!~
I’m so in love
What I’d do to be at every show him and the cells ever preformed. FUUUU
Im lucky to be from around philly seen the skin cells play quite a few times. Had them play in my basement when I played music. Unreal stuff
Forever is so good live
alexs dance during brick holy shit
He really went all out on Bug, thank you for this 🗣️
This generation's Elliot Smith
as much as i love elliott, alex g is this generations alex g
@@misanthropexoxo9618 Alex G is this generation’s Elliot Smith.
No he is this generation’s Neil Young
Dude that is too accurate. Especially ‘Change’ and ‘Race’ just remind me of Elliott. Good point man.
35:00
i love one (1) man
Waiting for Alexander here in Argentina, think about us please. My regards
I’m late asf to this video but WITCH AHHHH OH MY GOD SO GOOD
Brick live is surprisingly so fucking good
him and his band are so fucking talented holy SHIT
great songwriter
The lil extra twang in Forever 🥺💕
Random Skin Cells - “Get Well” at 18:53
lol the guy that yelled "PLAY SOME SKIN CELLS" right before this!
bobby is so calming
35:04 do a little dancy dance
Did he do the SIMP squirrels in my pants ?
This human has saved my life many times over the years 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Is that Spencer Tweedy in the foreground!?
‘QUIET! Quiet...’
28:42 favourite song in beach music
I wish they till had a violinist for this one
Sports star
moshing to brick is amazing lmao
sportstar best song ever
i NEED to see soaker and thorns live
Angled Snare, Pretty Bassist, Telecaster Alex and Alex himself
Is there a version of this gig that just has ‘brite boy’, so I can listen to it over and over again.
Does he always sing with gritted teeth? Looks like he’s in pain, never noticed it before.
He does that a lot
I saw alex G and band a couple times in 2014, I don't recall him singing through his teeth like that. Still sounds good though so whatever works
Acid or stimulants of some I assume
That's normal for him lol
i think hes anxious. whenever i get anxiety my mouth tends to shut and i have to speak through gritted teeth
love love love

Dave Grohl looks so young here
Hey it’s Mac from always sunny! Didn’t know he played guitar
funny because alex is from philadelphia
he's so hot
witch is awesome
One of my regrets is that I missed him live at ACL...
went, the crowd was shit... really hope i get to see him perform at an actual venue lol

So good
I saw him in Atlanta and they walked out to “Life is a highway” there too. Is this like a thing they do?
epic

fuck yeah, BRICK

Moment of silence for Alex’s right knee

1 minute in, music hasn't even started and I get an ad.
brick
Jeff Tweedy's son is at the bottom of the screen at the beginning lol
He looks like Eric Koston
That's who I keep seeing!! Haha
i’ve always thought this too lol
How does Sam pull off that screechy noise rock-esque solo in Kicker? Sounds like some Tom Morello type shit, how do you get that sound?
damn he got his lips all over the mic during poison root
brite boy .....

Rascal Flatts
They kept playing the original version of that song over the PA when I saw them in SF a year or so back
