Has anyone found earlier live footage of Snock than this? Such a treasure. Interesting to see how his body movements are different than the footage from recent years of him performing
This footage was supplied (I'm guessing) from the archives of the infamous Boston luminary and Bon Vivant Billy Ruane. Local Madman, booking agent and lover of the arts who had a hand in everything musical in Boston and Cambridge, fostered many careers and was at every show from the late 70's through the 2000's. From large famous acts he knew personally to barely starting out musicians. From blistering punk to quiet folk. Sadly Billy passed away a few years back but touched many who knew him. There should be a documentary about his life.
Correction: The song at 19:07 is called Milwaukee Blues. Originally by Charlie Poole. I think I can name the rest of the songs, and write them down later. By the way, if you´re interested in some guitar-tutorials for guitar, check out my channel! :-)
Miss seeing doc in Portland,anyone have St johns pub show June 9 1999..had on cassette someone stole,I know they where video taping the show to.from rafters..go snock go...
I have several live shows from Laurelthirst in PDX from early/mid-2000s. Have got a show from NYC in 76 (which I think has been released as a record recently), as well as a few shows in Chicago and Germany from mid-to-late 80s. Would be happy to share and/or trade
Since leaving Portland, I do miss seeing him play live. I always enjoyed his choice in venues: Laurelthirst, Common Grounds coffee shop, Papa G's, etc. Oh well, I've got memories and records to last into the future.
He’s untouchable
Thank you for posting this. This is one of the best things on the internet.

The documentary is actually in the final stages of being made. See Michael Gill's trailer: ua-cam.com/video/DK1nT7sovTo/v-deo.html
Wow. Just ask and you'll receive. That is amazing. Looks great already. Thanks for your reply.

What's the song at 24:50? It's amazing...
i forget the title but I have it on the album Sweetkorn, really great stuff!
Thank you Michael. By far preferring this live version to the vinyl though. :)
It's called "The Rue of Ruby Whores." My favorite version is on Weatherhole. This is pretty great tho...
@JeffJirout a long shot but do you happen to have sweetkorn on cd/ digitized? I can't find the original 2001 release anywhere!
AUTHENTICITY
He is incredible on The Werewolf. Can anyone make out what he says after the song is over?
Come to me. I need true love.
this is my birthday :D
16:32 does anyone know this song?
Stoned at the Jukebox -- Hank Williams, Jr.
What type of banjo is Snock playing at the beginning?
looks (and sounds) like an old 5-string fretless banjo. hard to tell how old it was at the time this was taking cause the light is so low.
