Currently, I'm going through one of the most difficult moments of my life. I almost cried when I got the notification on my phone for this. It's truely a blessing to have your music accompany me during this time, Rick. Thank you so much ♡
Your music makes me feel this almost unbearable feeling that can't be put into words. Painful bitterswitness, overwhelming and sometimes a little scary because of its unfathomable depth. The fading of life and the mute love i'd like to scream while it's all being forgotten. Thanks for sharing Rick
I very much appreciate your music. It resonates within me and I feel as if it takes me to another dimension. It would be a privilege to hear you live. Hope you'll come to Europe (especially Poland)
Holy shit this rules! For any Pile fans that haven't had a chance to catch a solo Rick show I cannot recommend it enough. It's truly a unique musical experience, and as good as this recording/videography is nothing beats supporting an artist in your hometown and seeing it live. P.S - Hi Hunter hope Philly treats you well
Thanks Rick for still doing you. Sends shivers up and down my spine, goosebumps and all as if it’s the first time I’m hearing songs I’ve already heard a hundred times. Cheers
Thanks for posting this! I can't wait til the weather starts cooling off again so I can go back to wearing the Pile beanie I got from the Pittsburgh show last December.
Been listening for 4 years, not once have you guys ever stopped being my favorite band and its so good to see that youre doing well and keeping it. your brain children have comforted me a lot and gave validation to emotions i didnt think many others felt
i’ve come back-and-forth to this at least two or three times a week since it came out. A collection of some of my favorite songs of yours. Really beautiful and it’s nice to hear the sweet and subtle changes you make to the solo versions of the songs. I’m really into your cord voicing and the specific notes that you, Rick, choose to put together. You truly have a sound to your music throughout all the years with all the different styles and types of moods that you’ve conveyed -> it all sounds like you. I think that’s really special and amazing so thank you for that.
Rick your vocals in this set were insanely good man. Your intensity on scaling walls was fucking crazy. Also would love to hear you play slug sometime dude!
thank you for this recording. i saw you at the rockwell earlier this year and it was a transcendent experience, and ive longed to have some recording that i could rewatch and recreate that experience. i love how you change the songs from full band into the solo versions, they're so different and like someone else said, bittersweet, melancholy, and brilliant. thanks for making some of my favorite music.
So bummed I missed you last time you played solo in PA, but hey at least I have all these videos to keep me company ;-; Also I just saw "I Saw The Tv Glow" and this is the perfect post-viewing soundtrack
Another sensational set! Does anyone know what guitar tunings Rick uses?? Praying for standard but just know this utter genius is doing something a bit differnent.
The Moon?! Glad you ain't forgetting us who've been listening from the beginning and loving from the start :)

Wishing you the best right now!
Absolutely beautiful. Skilled songwriting, exceptional storytelling, great guitar tone, an honest voice....

Thanks for sharing Rick
Thank you for listening
This is very dope. Wonderful songwriter. Killer albums. Nice. Gig Scotland pllleeeaaase.
Hoping for fall of 2025 in support of a new release

Legend/s

Seeya there!
Thanks.
I feel elevated to heaven every time I hear him do "Touched By Comfort" in one of these solo shows
I very much appreciate your music. It resonates within me and I feel as if it takes me to another dimension. It would be a privilege to hear you live. Hope you'll come to Europe (especially Poland)
@@kopnijmnie thank you for the kind words, I hope we come back to Poland soon!
This is outstanding
Thank you Rick. We love you. This is just what I needed today. See you when you're back in Seattle :)
Hopefully see you soon!

We’ll be back in Pittsburgh this fall with the whole band :)
Hell yes!

Come to Houston. The power is back on.

@@ghostthps thank you for listening! I’m glad you get something out of it. I love the work and it’s meaningful that it can connect with people.
Rick your vocals in this set were insanely good man. Your intensity on scaling walls was fucking crazy. Also would love to hear you play slug sometime dude!
Don't imagine you'll be coming through Japan anytime soon, so these uploads are very appreciated. Really great mix of old and new.
We’ve always wanted to tour Japan. If there’s ever an opportunity for us to do so, we’ll take it
put this in the library of congress ASAP
Exactly what I needed today, thank you as always!
Thank you :)
Yes! Just brilliant. Thank you so much Rick! You made my day!
I love both of today's videos so much ❤️ Thank you. And I realized I haven't told you personally how much I love the Scaling Walls record yet, holy fk
And obviously come back to Portugal always and forever
Thank you! And I hope we come back soon
When are you coming to Europe? This would kill in so many places!
@@EelsThe we’ll be back as a band in fall of 2025
Hey Rick - what effects are you using on this bit (17:00) of touched by comfort? It sounds magical.
Was just sitting and going over old solo sets. What a blessing this is on this dreary day. You are the fucking man, Rick. Come through Fargo sometime
Would love to play Fargo!
@Pilemusic I can help you set up a show if yall find yourself rolling through the area. Lots of people here into yall.
We’ll try to make it happen on the next release!
Just beautiful and incredible.
I love Pile.
So many good songs on this set, it’s hard to pick a favorite. Thanks for sharing, Rick. Incredible writing and performance
Thank you !
can't wait to see u live again!
Love to hear it.
:)
simply brilliant, im always in awe
saved me as always
Rick…I don’t wanna say I would’ve rioted due to the lack of merch - but I may have rioted. 🎉

Happy to share! I also have some footage of that Rockwell show. It's not the same production quality, but maybe I'll post it up here at some point.
@@Pilemusic please do! it was such a great show
Two sets in one day? Oh heck yes.
:)
So bummed I missed you last time you played solo in PA, but hey at least I have all these videos to keep me company ;-;
Also I just saw "I Saw The Tv Glow" and this is the perfect post-viewing soundtrack
I had the same thought about I Saw The Tv Glow! The material from this latest album really complements the vibe
Another sensational set! Does anyone know what guitar tunings Rick uses?? Praying for standard but just know this utter genius is doing something a bit differnent.
C standard mostly!
Is that Travis Picking on Birds Attacked?
@@lyndonjohnson1992 I guess so! I had never heard the term, but after looking it up, it is indeed that.
What tuning does Rick play in?
Also, Firewood has some of the most powerful lyrics I've heard in a long time.
@@DefThrone thank you :)
C standard mostly
@@Pilemusic No, thank you for the music!
This comment is for the algorithm. Do you find yourself influenced heavily by any authors in your songwriting?
It depends on what I’m reading, but none are really coming up at the moment
