I love this guy. I bet he’s a blast to hang with.
I could listen to this guy tell stories for hours.
Steve Poltz, I'll be watching for more of him.
He is a natural born storyteller! Thanks for documenting his stories. Keep 'em coming!
Fun to listen to. Does a great Bob. He’s no Kenny V, but who is?
@@melodymakermark Check out his John Prine story that Otis posed the other day.
Thanks. Will have a look. Love me some Prine stories.
Mr. Poltz is SO well spoken and has a tremendous memory.
It is great to know these inside stories.
Brilliant, brilliant storytelling. I want more!
Thanks Otis!
I met and played with Page. This guy speaks like a musician. Timing is everything.
Great storyteller and seemingly very good guy. More from Steve Poltz please! Thanks. Enjoyed this.
Bob Dylan is a one strange cat. He's like a shape shifter. You think he's there but then he's not.
I'm not there.
He can lose himself and reappear
Well, it's a Steve Poltz story, OF COURSE it's hilarious! He is AWESOME!
This channel’s about to bust 100K. Tell your friends. Tell your neighbors. Tell the guy you used to smoke weed with when you skipped study hall in high school. Do they still have study hall? Idk, but let’s make this happen. Best channel on the ‘tube.
I was in a band that played just ahead of Steve's band the Rugburns on a stage in the street of Encinitas, CA (San Diego North Nounty beach) mid 90s, and decided to stick around to watch the beginning of their show. They were so entertaining and fun, I stayed for the whole thing and bought their CD that they all signed. A few years later I'm in a different band playing another street fair (Adam's Ave, San Diego) just ahead of Bernie Leadon, whose drummer is Dylan's drummer, David Kemper, who complemented me on my performance of "Tangled Up In Blue". Fun times.
Encinitas is wonderful area, stayed there a bunch, while my wife took courses. looked after our 1 then 2 sons, so much to do and see around San Diego.
Fell in love with the lower length of hwy 101 ,
we live at the other end ,,
Another good band from CA , btw ,, get it ?
hwy 101 ,,
from Vancouver Island , Canada
I was a neighbor to one of #TheBlindBoysofAlabama, Rickie Mckinnie, in Kirkwood…. I was honored to go backstage once…They were mind, considerate. I ❤them.
Steve Poltz is a riot!!! Hope to see many more videos with stories by Steve!! So entertaining and enlightening!
This gentle speaking man is a Great Storyteller ❤
Much needed stories.
Was late for the Jewel train, but after hearing her story last year, she’s become my rock & my Dylan.
We all love Bob. I've changed the way people think of him. I've introduced the realization that we're so fortunate to have lived in the times of Bob Dylan. That, my friends, will stick.
Steve-- you are guileless
Thanks gentlemen, great work. This sounds so Bob Dylan with his peculiar eccentricities. Brilliant. You're appreciated.
I love Steve I have seen him 3 times. I also hear he is a spectacular litigator for dogs.
This episode could be called "Stories From
Big Pink". Many thanks Steve and Otis.
What A Fun Guy & A Great Musician - thanks for the Intro to Steve Poltz Otis.. Spent the weekend checking out his work. It Lifted my spirits.
Really great live, of course!
The art of telling a story is a degree above writing one and the sign of the true oral tradition beginning from Homer onward. ☘
Steve has so many stories, he's our hometown gold
Both stories were hilarious. I especially love the Lou Reed/Blind Boys story!
Many moons ago, I had Fred's Guitars in San Diego build me a Tele partscaster out of what Fred told me was Steve Poltz's double bound sunburst Tele. He apparently didn't like it, I guess. Met Gregory Page here once, too. Thanks, Otis!
People like Steve are few and far between it would be awesome to hang out with
LOVE THIS GUY! I hope you have tons of stories with him.
He is the best! I could listen to him all day.
You should get to know Steve.

Just knew his name, and now i know he's one heck of a storyteller! Could watch and listen to him all night 😍
Not the first time I've heard about Bob's "Suddenly Appeared Disappeared thing". G.E. Smith said he and 2 other guys were in a Rehearsal studio late at night. No one else around and they were waiting for Bob. Suddenly he was in the room. Just there. Out of Nowhere.
Heard a story 25 years ago, about a journalist who went to Jamaica hoping to interview Bunny Wailer. He asked an acquaintance of Bunny's how could he contact him. He replied "Go out into the open, anywhere, and call out to him." Journalist subsequently did so and looked around only to see Bunny standing 50 yards away, staring at him.
I'm sitting on the porch howling. Thank you for that.
No mystery. Dylan was on the make. And when it wasn't happening, he made his escape.
No doubt. He's just a person.
When she refused to kneel, he was gone ,,
Sweet Big Pink shirt.
What a great guy! More, please!!!
Doppelganger of Michael Douglas, here, I swear it.
Voice for sure
Now that you said it, I can sure see it!
I thought exactly the same thing. I could even envision a young Michael Douglas with long hair and the same kind of clothes looking like this master storyteller. You've got to check out his John Prine story, I was pissing myself laughing.😂
Hahaha that Bob story is hilarious It was like a scene out of Zoolander 😂
. been listening to Gregory since ‘94 ould sod san diego.😊 gotta bring this great story up next time i get to see him . ❤
California accent for the win with these stories!
I was at that show that Jewell opened for Bob! Jewell was adorable in saying "oh my god, can not believe I'm opening for Bobby" .
Great shirt!
Big Pink t-shirt is awesome!!!!
Love hearing stories from Steve!
That’s strangely funny!😂
God, he’s eccentric and it’s great!
If there were more people who could tell stories so well, i would shush them so i could hear this guy

❤tanks 4 the video
This brings to mind a show I saw in April 1995 at the Wiltern. Liz Phair, who had broken fairly big by then, was playing solo and Jewel opened for her doing solo acoustic. Jewel was getting serious airplay and she was great on this night! For a couple of songs she brought out a guy from the Rugburns to duet on a couple of songs that were just superb. Amazing vocal blend. I never caught his name or the song titles. I wonder if this was the guy? And what were the songs? Maybe someone out there knows :)
PS: Found the setlist from 4-11-95. It was Poltz! The played Old Lover's House - - which still play. She guested on the song for the Rugburns album. Great cut!
Thank you! Hilarious
he really enjoys his stories in the moment! great post!!!!!!
I used to cross paths with Greg Page in the San Diego area back in those days and my fave song of his was Good Night Saturday. I still play that one from time to time and in fact, I played it earlier today!!
“Ol’ Scooter” in East Texas. Lovin’ your stories!
AWESOME !
You got to love bob
I’m glad you Poltzerated your channel! Love this guy. Never really knew about him. Look fwd to checking out his songs. Always kinda had a crush on Jewel. I frequent Alaska and cool to know she’s a true homesteaded knife-totin’ Alaskan:-).
I've never met Steve but has a really honest way. I respect that! The Bob Dylan story is hilarious because he just sounds like an egotistical insecure person. Who does that? Love the Lou Reed jab at the end as well! Just a perfect day!
The Lou Reed story reminds me of a review I once read of one of his albums in which the reviewer wrote that "Reed has a three-note range and he sings them all at the same time."
wonderful guy. Wonderful stories.
Great stuff. Steve's a character, would be great to have a few beers with him someday, cheers Otis.
I have several different laughs. This got the wheezing one which is pretty high up on the funny scale.
These are the best stories ever!
Catch a Falling What?!!
Holy smokes you're over 100k Otis! Great work and thanks big whiskers.
Dylan gets inside your soul. Grew up consuming massive quantities of his music. Thank God for him🙏
Such a funny guy...great stories. Pretty jealous about the whole Jewel thing, though. What a woman!
My favorite current musician, and a huge influence on my music
I love this story, ha ha
What a hoot!
If Perry Ferrell had a long lost brother,
Steve Poltz is him.
Kind Regards,
Tahitian Moon
Funny. I just commented on a short post where Reed criticizes the Beatles that Lou Reed can't sing. I'm in good company.
Oh that was funny! Especially the blind guys in the elevator!
Another gem. Damn this guy is great.
Dude that was so funny, great stories
Love it! Sooo jealous, had a huge crush on Jewel when she hit the scene! Steve would Definitely would be a fun hang! Love the shirt as well.
what a Great story i love this
He’s killing me. You could do a week with just his stories.
This one’s a gem
Thanks for showing me I wasted my whole life with the squares
What an engaging guy!
Great storyteller.
What a hilarious story!
Awesome story!!!
What am i supposed to do look you up in The Yellow Pages!!!
Hey Steve, Great story. It's really funny the way you tell it. Greg A
More Steve Poltz please!
Jewel Kilcher and Steve Poltz? I never would have guessed.... LOL --gary
Wow, Jewel!
Awesome stories
Oh wow, he's my new best friend I will never meet.
Cool stories. I’ll vouch for Charles Driebe. He pulled me offstage one night on a break and drove me to a studio to play on a Bobby Charles song,a legendary songwriter in Louisiana and a personal hero of mine. Then drove me back to the gig in time for the second set. What a guy
Poltzie is awesome. The Rugburns shows were outrageously good.
Poltz is a great storyteller.
He's a great story teller and even better live.
Check out the old Rugburns stuff.
Great story a typical Bob remark ❤
Great Lou Reed story!
i don't really get what happened though.... Did the blind boys think it was some random guy who started singing with them but wasn't suppose to ?
Hold on…let me open up a can of pop before starting this. Lol
God, if I had one dude friend to be stranded on a desert island with, it would be Steve Poltz. This man is a bottomless font of awesome stories and incredibly positive attitude. Wish I knew him.
Bob’s the Best
Poltz! Thanks for the hug in Stanley, ID
Steve, I miss you!!! From Indiana ❤️Sarah(met through DQ locals only)
Made. Me Smile
Nice story, Michael Doglas!
Saw the Rugburns twice in Klumbis, Ahia in the 90s. One of the greatest live bands. Glad to see Steve is doing well. Stinky Aafedt rules!!
Thanks Otis. That's the most honest opinion of Lou Reed (from another performer) I've ever heard - and it's on the money. If it weren't for Dick Wagner (RIP) and Steve "The Deacon" Hunter, I'd have little use for Reed's music. (Exception: "Satellite of Love" with Bowie and Mick Ronson.) Bowie, Mick and Lou are all gone now (RIP to all of 'em). I never got Lou Reed as a "vocalist". I guess he was trying to be Dylan or maybe Prine. Welp.
There is nothing really to “get” about Lou Reed as a vocalist. Lou Reed was great song writer, and what he lacked in vocal ability, he made up for in attitude and delivery.
He was way before Prine
I like Big Pink on your shirt.
