King's X. Truly one of the most severely underrated bands in the world. Truly. Songwriting. Vocals. Musicianship/craftsmanship. Talent. Studio production. Live performance. These guys got it all ...& did it RIGHT. Music ...how it's supposed to be done. These guys rank with the best of the best of the best of 3-piece bands ...& the best of bands, period, regardless of number. I'm so grateful I was able to attend as many shows as I did in the past...especially those I attended along with my late wife. My real life Goldilox.
Got to sing this Last Thursday 03/07/24 in Newton NJ. What a memory I will have. Met Gerry and Dug after the show and they were beyond cool. I have been a fan from The beginning. Now I can die happy. Thanks Kings X l. Truely one of the best most underrated bands ever!!!! 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
At the ~5:00m mark, you can see a man standing dead center in the balcony. Blue/white Hawaiian-style shirt and black ball cap. That's Robert Trujillo. We were standing about 10 feet from him the entire show, and he was as thoroughly enamored with Dug, Jerry, and Ty as the rest of us were. It was an amazing night.
These guys will always move me to tears. I've seen them many times since the late 90s. Just look at their smiles as they listen to the crowd! It's awesome. It makes you wonder - how many times have they played this song? No other band would find this much joy from such an old song unless they were getting paid big $$$, which I assure you King's X is NOT! They've never been in it for the money. They truly loved their art and have always had a genuine satisfaction sharing it with us, and for that we are eternally grateful. Thanks for sharing this.
Every song writers dream, to have thousands of people singing the words they wrote, words that were only on their mind once, but now are free for the world to sing. its beautiful.
I just can't get over how massive DuG's tone is here. It rattled my windows here at home on a puny 5.1 setup on my computer; I can't imagine what that must have felt like live!
it was beautiful, as always. Great show. I was also at the Atlanta show circa 1992-1994 at the Roxy where this first happened. Doug started singing and the entire audience sang it back to them. He stopped mid song and allowed the audience to keep singing instead. It was magical.
I’ve been fortunate to see concerts and performances of many different backgrounds…from classical virtuosos Josh bell and Lang Lang to Funk royalty Teena Marie and even global artist Yanni…still nothing compared to be privileged seeing King’s X in a small bar with no security fence or guards while they play on a tiny stage only a foot or two off of the floor. The venue was probably half of the size of this video, it was that small. The band’s performance and musicianship really is that spectacular. And to give an idea what kind of guys these people are…at the end of the gig they said they wanted to get a drink of water but it would be their honor if anyone wanted to meet them for a few moments off stage. They took the time, and didn’t even charge extra, to meet with EVERY single person until nobody was left. True class act
When the crowd starts singing… I had to pause and let some tears out with a smile…. 🥹…. Us and the crowd get this song…. 🥹😔…. Imagine a song you created… and everyone sings along to the words/feelings you wrote/expressed….. that’s it! … 🥹🥹🥹🥹
One of their best compositions, set in a constellation of their other sublime songs. I'm so happy that I have been following them since the later summer of 1989.
Absolutely beautiful. I got to sing the whole song with them up on stage one night in Houston, Texas at a small club called Cardie's. I sang into Ty's mic. I love those guys.
thats so cool, i got to get up on stage with them in colorado springs and sing pleades through tys mic on my birthday then they sang happy birthday to me, best birthday ever!

Obviously these are King's X fans at a King's X concert...but STILL....I never cease to be amazed at how probably 99% of the crowd knows ALL the words...AND the harmonies...AND the syncopated phrasings....I mean it's not like "Goldilox" spent months and months on the Billboard Top 40. What a great great song regardless!
Thanks for the video John. King's X is one of the greatest "Power Trio's" on the plant. A three piece that all member are amazing vocalists and phenomenal 3 part harmonies and backing vocals.I wanted to throw in brother that the harmony you sang on the chorus was damn good. Good job!!!!!
They did this at a small club when I saw King's X, at first singing at the top of my lungs with a bunch of mostly dudes was a little weird, but it was hard to choke back the tears by the end. This is one of those songs that hits home for a lot of people, and over the years, they rarely played it live. It was such a great experience to have the crowd sing it for the band.
I was there not far from where you were. I was blown away by the crowd's singing, harmonies and all! I knew just the chorus but was astonished that everyone else knew all the verses. There were people near me doing some great harmony. Great show.
Great video, @johnthompson, I've seen Kings X so many times. St. Louis, Louisville, Indy. Love them. One of my favorites of all time. Sorry I missed them here in my hometown of Nashville. Too much going on. But thanks to the camera ninjas who captured it all! Maybe next time in another city on another night. I have plenty of great memories though!!! Thanks for sharing this! Nashville loves some Kings X.
I saw them for the first time live around '98 on Tape Head because they never really came to Indianapolis and I could finally drive to Ohio. It blew my mind to see this band I had idolized for so long in the real, with the "King's X Choir," as they say, belting it out. I was like "what the fuck? Am I in church?" Turns out, I was. Pushed to see them more times over the years and always the best. Wally's New Hampshire show on UA-cam got me through covid isolation many days. This is my favorite living rock band. Newest album is brilliant and worthy canon. Long live the kings.
1989, middle of the afternoon, I was walking through a field in Bushnell, IL and heard “Over My Head” and ran to see them. I’m 52 now and their music has been the only constant in my life. That day @ Cornerstone changed my life.
You know that King's X is a musician's band because everyone was singing well and in tune. When I went to see Ray Wylie Hubbard doing this same bit he chastised us for rushing so much during Snake Farm.
I’ve seen EVERYBODY live. Nobody and I mean NOBODY sounds as good as I Kings X Live. His bass tones are INSANE!!!!! And let’s be honest here, is there a more underrated guitar player walking the planet? Maybe Ian Thornley but other then that,… nope
They really need to pick bigger venues, because the shows sell out in 15 minutes, at least in the Deep South. By the time you find out, it's too late. This is a good example of why that is. When the crowd can cover not only the vocals, but the harmonies, that should tell the major labels something. Unfortunately, it doesn't. And THAT folks, is why I now boycott the music industry.
The album version is wonderful. Letting the audience sing it because your voice is fried is beyond dull and boring. Retire guys. You abandoned your faith and waisted 30 plus years of my life. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. The last album sucks. Sorry guys. I feel betrayed by my favorite band.
i look at you and i know who you are your just a little bit too far from my home but please dont get me wrong even though it has been long i hope i never sing my last song without someone
King's X. Truly one of the most severely underrated bands in the world. Truly.

Among the most joyous moments of my life are the times I participated in a Goldilox singalong at King's X shows.
This is intense, and true.
Same
Nothing else quite like it.
Fucking awesome,tears in my eyes,cheers
Correct.
King's x has the best singing audience in the world. Damn...clean singing in time.
You can see how deeply DuG was touched that the audience knew every. single. word. Fantastic band always.
Alex Lifeson said hearing the audience sing your lyrics back to you is very emotional
He's also a really cool person irl. I only met him briefly after a show, but I know an ex roadie who says all 3 of these guys are awesome.
The crowd ALWAYS knows how to sing this............... BECAUSE WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE ....................
Got to sing this Last Thursday 03/07/24 in Newton NJ. What a memory I will have. Met Gerry and Dug after the show and they were beyond cool. I have been a fan from
The beginning. Now I can die happy. Thanks Kings X l. Truely one of the best most underrated bands ever!!!! 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

That's awesome! Thanks for that info!
If I not wrong, there is also Kirk Hammet beside Robert ! ;)
It's that old line - They are your favourite musicians favourite band. The Holy Power trio trinity, Kings X, Rush & Primus.
Is that country music singer Alan Jackson to the left in the cowboy hat and jean jacket?
It’s true when people say King’s X is probably your favorite band’s favorite band
These guys will always move me to tears. I've seen them many times since the late 90s. Just look at their smiles as they listen to the crowd! It's awesome.

Every time I hear this song it makes me cry. Thanks King's X for this tears of joy.
😢meeeee too

King's X fans are the best crowd singers! Love this band. 🤘🏼
Brought me to tears!! Hope to see them in Germany again. Please! This year ich have tickets ... but ...
And that's why Kings X has the best fan base on the planet
*Best fan base on the silent planet
@@DickMotorman On the Silent Plane....It's Flat and Motionless and I'm sure Doug, Ty and Jerry know it
Nice to hear a crowd actually singing and in tune too!

I’ve seen them several times and aways amazed at how many words we all know of these songs.
One of their best compositions, set in a constellation of their other sublime songs. I'm so happy that I have been following them since the later summer of 1989.
They love when the crowd is engaged and present--Makes it worthwhile. Awesome band that has endured the test of time
Brought me to tears!! Of Joy!

So very tight after all these years! Their club shows are intimate.
One of the most classy and unique bands till now. Been an X fan since the telease of Gretchen
The crowd always sings Goldilox. It's amazing to be there and sing it!
We are a family...plain and simple . PK

Was it not totally crazy? It sounded like 3 part harmony at times. Crazy talented audience. 👍❤️

Jerry is in his 70's and still hits the skins harder than I ever did back in my prime. Much respect to this entire band, and Texas represent!🤘
He's 66. But yeah.
@@drumrnva I must be thinking of Dug. But still impressive
@@jbm0866 I saw them in 198-something. I don't remember who they opened for. Maybe Billy Squier?
Fantastic band 👍🤘
Oh my goodness! This is some powerful shit! I love it
Greatest Band Ever
One of the best bass tones in rock.
Amazing, King’s X has the best fans.
Lo habré visto ya unas 20 veces, las mismas que me he emocionado hasta casi llorar.
Así son las cosas que NO TIENEN PRECIO.
GRACIAS de todo corazón
Thank you. Thank you for this. I needed this. Thank you.
wow , so beautiful just loved it.
THE BAND OF Bands...JERRY/dUg/TY....& there's the void....(@PILLOW adding his 50 cents!)
This is Beautiful
Hits me right in the feels, every single time !
Just beautiful.

Shout out 2 all the Awesome pipes from The Congregation of The 1st Church of R&R
I love every one of them even though I've never met them.
This song always gets me 😢
Magic!
1989, middle of the afternoon, I was walking through a field in Bushnell, IL and heard “Over My Head” and ran to see them. I’m 52 now and their music has been the only constant in my life. That day @ Cornerstone changed my life.
King's X and their fans phukking rock!!! Blessings and love to both!!!
I miss hearing Dug sing this song. He’s the best.
Brilliant
Wonderful - and singing the melody rather than the top harmony😎. Good reprazent there John. 👊
coolest band ever!!!!!
Legends.
Fucking Beautiful!!
spine-tingling
Wow. Its like church.
You know that King's X is a musician's band because everyone was singing well and in tune. When I went to see Ray Wylie Hubbard doing this same bit he chastised us for rushing so much during Snake Farm.
Awesome!!! 💜
Sound so good live…
THE Groove Tribe
I’ve seen EVERYBODY live. Nobody and I mean NOBODY sounds as good as I Kings X Live. His bass tones are INSANE!!!!! And let’s be honest here, is there a more underrated guitar player walking the planet? Maybe Ian Thornley but other then that,… nope
Would be good to see Doug actually sing this
Great stuff brother!!
goosebumbs abound. LOVE these guys
Good Harmony Dude.
Damn ..just got emotional🥲
That looks like the WildHorse Saloon.
Dig this tune 😁
Ty uses Orange
and you were right……these guys are pretty good……not too shabby….
Awesome
Give it up to the guy on lead vocals behind the camera.
wish he would sing it . oh well
He used to sing it, but then Goldilox turned into the fans' love song to the band.
❤
このステージのDVDは発売していますか？
“Stunning” 😂😂😂😂😂
Jerry Gaskell is one of my personal drummers. Edit: I wrote this before I realised he didn’t fucking play much on this haha
Is Scott Burch in this crowd? Mark Z wants to know…….hope all is well big guy…..
Harmony guy got it wrong on the YEAAAAH, but otherwise good effort dude!
Please please play in Wacken!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is where you belong!!!!!!!!
School’s out boys. That’s how it’s done.
Long arms
👍
Prefer Dug singing it. But crowd participation is pretty cool sometimes.
stupid people recording with their phones at this very song should be a strict rule not to use any recording device like in Japan
🙂↕️
They really need to pick bigger venues, because the shows sell out in 15 minutes, at least in the Deep South.

This is a good example of why that is.

Unfortunately, it doesn't.
And THAT folks, is why I now boycott the music industry.
They are a criminally underrated band!

Retire guys. You abandoned your faith and waisted 30 plus years of my life. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. The last album sucks. Sorry guys. I feel betrayed by my favorite band.
Amazing moment for the band. But i tell you the truth: i want hear Doug’s voice, don’t care for all the people singing. For me it was disappointing.
Dug hasnt had to sing this song for at least 20 years😂
as the bass players has longer arms than a gorilla he needs to keep his bass at ankle level
i look at you and i know who you are your just a little bit too far from my home but please dont get me wrong even though it has been long i hope i never sing my last song without someone
Theres a famous song called Goldilox? Ive never heard of it.
