I have tears in my eyes. The greatest song of early R.E.M. along with three fantastic voices brining it to life. Total surprise finding it when I turned on the old UA-cam today. CHEERS, a real brightener for my day.
As a retired locomotive engineer, I totally LOVE this remake of my favorite R.E.M. song from not one, but THREE of my favorite bands from the 90's. All you guys totally NAILED it! Now, put this on an album as soon as you can!
My second favorite band all-time doing a cover of my second favorite song from my favorite band of all-time is quite a treat. Loved hearing it live when my wife and I saw Toad in Novato a few weeks ago!
@@RockPunkFloyd ooh, that's a good one too and I am sure my list probably changes all the time, but it's "I Believe." Or maybe "Try Not To Breathe". Or "Exhuming McCarthy". Lol. Gawd, R.E.M. is great. Don't ask me my favorite Toad song. We could be here all night. 😂
Gin Blossums, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Vertical Horizon did this cover at the Champlian Valley Fair ground last Saturday (24 August 2024). They collaborated during Toad the Wet Sprockets set. I have no words to describe the pure beauty and essence of the piece and their performance. Thank you all three bands for making the trek up to Vermont last weekend. You're the best !!
Oh WOW!!! I must say that I would pay hundreds of dollars for this to be expanded to a double album of REM covers. Just imagine a couple of hours of this, So. Central Rain, Night swimming, Rockville, etc-bow the letter, and on and on. Oh, and then get REM to do a selection of all y’all’s songs. Hearing Michael Stipe do Jam or She Cried, or Found Out About You…. well I would listen without pause Thank you all for posting this.
The best cover of one of the very best R.E.M songs, weighs in pure Gold 💐🎉 Three of the finest musicians of 90's showing their mettle & creating absolute magic 💫💫
Toad the Wet Sprocket and the Gin Blossoms are 2 of my favorites.... Damn they are the Best... In the 90's, I Loved getting in my car and turning the radio, praying 1 of these 2 bands were on.. I could listen to their music all day everyday....
All three of these bands are on tour together right now. Saw them Friday night in Omaha and damn was that a great concert. If they are coming near you try and get out and see them!
@@CrankyOldDave I have been checking already my friend lol.. Gonna try if they come within a couple hundred miles, I'm in... I bet you had a blast .. They don't make music like this anymore....
Oh my god, my introduction to 90s music was, in order: Hey Jealousy & Something's Always Wrong so amazing to see both TTWS and the Gin Blossoms performing together. Absolute chills!
Holy shit! R.E.M. are one of my all time favourite bands. Toad are another. This is one of my absolute favourite R.E.M. songs. I can’t believe I’m gonna say this… this version is better!
This song is the best of my young childhood. I think I was 8 when Fables of the Reconstruction was released. But having an aunt in college at Tulane University, this was a prominent song during my youth. Wonderful cover, excellent sound. Toad, Gin Blossoms and VH all sound fantastic on this. Such a great song, done in a way that does it justice.
Hahah. I first heard REM in 1985 or thereabouts, when I was 6 or so, on the local college radio station! Prior to that, I'd been listening to pop or whatever mom and dad had on. Hearing REM that day (and keeping my radio set to that college radio station) changed my musical tastes forever.
This is a holy grail for a guy who was barely a teenager when REM hit the scene and listened to all these bands over the years! Amazing! I am not worthy...party on everybody. ✌️👍
We came up from CO for a long weekend to catch both shows in Montana. I'm good friends with the guys that opened for Toad (they came to play at our wedding in Vail), and I'm a huge Toad fan as well. We travel around a catch 3-4 Toad shows each summer/fall.
Tonight marks the 30th anniversary of the night that I was a victim of SA. I got through those next few days by listening to Dulcinea, especially “Begin” on repeat. Toad will always be the soundtrack of my life for so many things, but most of all, it will be a reminder of comfort during a devastating time in my life.
Glen was the manager at a studio that Capital paid for. He saved my life and kicked my ass at Gallaga. Glen, your one of the best humans I have ever met and best song I made you sing on.
So many emotions. Driver 8 has been one of those songs that is tied to significant events in my life. Combined with the voices of my music collection over the years makes this really special. A fantastic tribute to REM.
This is awesome, guys! Three of my favorite singers blending like they've always sung together. Todd, you are a tone MASTER. Solid rhythm section that's perfect for the song. Great idea to do this!
Excelente excelente excelente. Mis cantantes favoritos de la juventud haciendo un cover de unas de mis bandas más queridas REM! bellooooooo!!!! que los vea @MichaelStipe @BillBerry @PeterBuck @MikeMills
Faithfull renditions when does this beautifully are as satisfying as different, alternative interpretations. This is incredibly wonderful. Miss REM...love how others are keeping the music alive. This is one of my favorite REM songs without a doubt.
My absolute favorite R.E.M. song covered flawlessly by one of my favorite bands and members of two other fantastic bands! This is incredible! I hope Stipe, Buck, Mills, and Berry have heard this.
Toad with the lead singer of Gin Blossoms covering a song by R.E.M
This is like a perfect encapsulation of my childhood
it's too much, lol
@@t.l.ciottoli4319 No, it's brilliant!
An Unexpected GIFT Indeed.
And the lead singer of Vertical Horizon
I came here to say this
The perfect mashup no one saw coming but all of us needed. Thank you Toad & friends!
Like I said in my comment.... hearing it brought tears to my eyes. Had no idea it was even a thing I should have heard about. Definitely needed it.✌🏻
Todd's guitar tone is always GOLD!
Absolutely!
Absolutely. I’ve just moved Todd into Johnny Marrs division . 🎸
Instantly recognizable, too, it was totally vintage Toad from the first note of that riff!
I have tears in my eyes. The greatest song of early R.E.M. along with three fantastic voices brining it to life. Total surprise finding it when I turned on the old UA-cam today. CHEERS, a real brightener for my day.
Same!
I had the same experience!
This is the Music Venn Diagram I needed today.
Seriously. I'm so glad to have been blessed by the algorithm tonight
Toad can still kick ass. Love this band, always did always will.
As a retired locomotive engineer, I totally LOVE this remake of my favorite R.E.M. song from not one, but THREE of my favorite bands from the 90's. All you guys totally NAILED it!
Now, put this on an album as soon as you can!
Totally agreed, And totally support you suggestion.
My second favorite band all-time doing a cover of my second favorite song from my favorite band of all-time is quite a treat. Loved hearing it live when my wife and I saw Toad in Novato a few weeks ago!
Very cool.
😄It was an unexpected and very welcomed GIFT. Just Great.
I'm gonna guess Oddfellows Local 151 is your favorite, gotta be if this is your second. Both certainly at the top of my favorites from REM.
@@RockPunkFloyd ooh, that's a good one too and I am sure my list probably changes all the time, but it's "I Believe."
Or maybe "Try Not To Breathe". Or "Exhuming McCarthy". Lol. Gawd, R.E.M. is great.
Don't ask me my favorite Toad song. We could be here all night. 😂
I love thar even when Toad does a cover, it still sounds like a Toad song.
I'm on my 10th listen today.
Well said! Why TOAD is not more of a household name is one of earth's great mysteries! I love TOAD!
Man, no love in here for Vertical Horizon? Well I'll give it! I love VH, and combined with Gin Blossoms? Hell yeah.
I just saw VH tonight and they were awesome. Matt’s voice is still great!
@@robinhoward9348lucky woman
Matt Scannell is one of the nicest guys ever too!!! Had a great chat with him after a show and he's the best.
Much love here for Vertical Horizon here!✌️👍

Thank you all for posting this.
These guys doing Find the River would be worth the price of the entire package alone.
Hell yeah. I like your idea.
🔥🔥🔥
This is fantastic. Great cover of a great song. Dean jamming Mike Mills baselines is a treat.
It’s like a perfect circle. REM - Toad - Gin Blossoms.
Vertical Horizon
I 👀 what you did there:)

Toad, Gin, Tonic, and Cracker!! Put those 4 bands together for a stadium show and WOW
All three of these bands are on tour together right now. Saw them Friday night in Omaha and damn was that a great concert. If they are coming near you try and get out and see them!
@@CrankyOldDave I have been checking already my friend lol.. Gonna try if they come within a couple hundred miles, I'm in... I bet you had a blast .. They don't make music like this anymore....
Do you get the time too often on AM radio?
@@shadowsaberXYZ lol
Oh my god, my introduction to 90s music was, in order:
Hey Jealousy & Something's Always Wrong
so amazing to see both TTWS and the Gin Blossoms performing together.
Absolute chills!
I remember these songs the most from my childhood lol
Two of my all-time favorite bands, R.E.M. and Toad the Wet Sprocket-so perfect!!
Agreed!
I graduated high school in 1995. Toad The Wet Sprocket were a HUGE part of my Playlist.
The bassist nails it - Thanks so much for posting,
The ever underrated Mike Mills' riffs in REM songs...
@@enrique967 Most people think of REM and think Stipe, but all of the band were excellent musicians!
Glen's voice❤
Now THAT'S how you lay down a flawless cover! Great song by one of my all-time favorite bands executed by members of three of my other favorite bands.
it's SO good!
So awesome!!!! Killer guitar playing Todd!!!
Oh look at me listening to this on repeat all day...😊
Me too...✌️😎
The voices that'll never slowly grow old...keep walking that OCEAN... whatever New Miserable Experience and Everything You Want...
Holy shit! R.E.M. are one of my all time favourite bands. Toad are another. This is one of my absolute favourite R.E.M. songs. I can’t believe I’m gonna say this… this version is better!
Love this guys voice

I can't believe they're all on tour together!! It's the most perfect thing in the world!
How did they know how to hook me, specifically, *instantly*!? Love it!
This is a holy grail for a guy who was barely a teenager when REM hit the scene and listened to all these bands over the years! Amazing! I am not worthy...party on everybody. ✌️👍
Love it! Watched TTWS play Driver 8 at the Kalispell concert last month. REM would be proud of this cover.
We came up from CO for a long weekend to catch both shows in Montana. I'm good friends with the guys that opened for Toad (they came to play at our wedding in Vail), and I'm a huge Toad fan as well. We travel around a catch 3-4 Toad shows each summer/fall.
@alpinedogsledding2625 Nice! Traveled from Spokane to see them. We see them whenever they're playing in WA. Love them!
1994 is coming back 😊Alternative Post-Grunge rock music sounds good again
This is the first time I've seen this video. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you!!!
Just released a week ago! 😊
O M G the stars align, I’ve just heard perfection.
ALL 3...😮😮😮😮❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
This collab was not on my 2024 bingo card, but damn did I need it!
We heard them sing this together live in Cleveland a few days ago. It's great they released a studio version.
Tonight marks the 30th anniversary of the night that I was a victim of SA. I got through those next few days by listening to Dulcinea, especially “Begin” on repeat. Toad will always be the soundtrack of my life for so many things, but most of all, it will be a reminder of comfort during a devastating time in my life.
❤
Bravo!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is brilliant to the point where my head is spinning. Damn!!
Impossible to love this more.
Glen was the manager at a studio that Capital paid for. He saved my life and kicked my ass at Gallaga. Glen, your one of the best humans I have ever met and best song I made you sing on.
this is just fantastic... it captures the vibe and magic of all the bands involved....wow...
SIMPLY AWESOME!!!
Wow! My two favorite bands (Toad and REM) combined. This sounds great!
Fantastic! Love it!
This is froggin' brilliant! It all sounds so good together.
This is so good.. classic R.E.M.
Brought to life by such great bands. Nice work!!!!
Seriously need this on Spotify! I love REM and this exceeds their original! Simply amazing! 🤩
Outstanding cover!!! Beautiful vocals by Glen, Robin, Matt; and excellent musicianship all the guys in Toad. WELL DONE!!!
What a phenomenal cover.
I sincerely wish I had Todd’s hands, and phrasing on guitar. But I will satisfied to watch and listen.
I'm loving this. One of my all-time favorite songs and some of my favorite bands. Heaven!
Excellent cover, was always one of my favourite REM songs.
what a good start to my afternoon thanks for making this...
I’ve listened to this 5 times already ❤
Thank you guys! After all these years, is good to have you here, there, and everywhere! Blessings and keep going!
Great song to have a beer to driving from the Gaviota Pier to IV.
Nice! Very Nice❤
So many emotions. Driver 8 has been one of those songs that is tied to significant events in my life. Combined with the voices of my music collection over the years makes this really special. A fantastic tribute to REM.
Love Toad!
Man that was excellent! Great song too! Thanks for sharing all that talent!
One of my favorite bands covering my favorite REM song. this is some good stuff!
Whoa. Just… whoa!
Just saw all these cats in Nebraska! Good show!
I saw Toad/WS in Madison WI, back in 1993. Awesome. Sweet REM Cover!
Wow, a bunch of legends performing my favorite REM song!
This is awesome, guys! Three of my favorite singers blending like they've always sung together. Todd, you are a tone MASTER. Solid rhythm section that's perfect for the song. Great idea to do this!
So good, going to see Toad with Counting Crows Aug. 31!!!
😊 Very Very 🤩
What a great cover of one of my favorite REM songs. Everyone is killing it…vocal harmonies sound fantastic.

Excellent!!
Excelente excelente excelente. Mis cantantes favoritos de la juventud haciendo un cover de unas de mis bandas más queridas REM! bellooooooo!!!! que los vea @MichaelStipe @BillBerry @PeterBuck @MikeMills
So good! Why can't anyone make music like this now?
This is awesome! More bands should do this! (Not just a cover, but collaborate with other artists on covering their influences.)
This was always one of my favorite songs from REM, but I love Toad's version.
What a great throwback!
Great song, great bands. Can't go wrong here. Superb
oh man....one of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite songs!!!
There are 3 "bands" here! 😄
All these great musicians in the same room…magic!💕
Damn. This is so clearly TTWS sounding! One of my fav REM tunes. So good!
My favorite guys covering my favorite REM song! Love this so much.
Brilliant.
You covered one of my fave REM songs! Amazing job as usual, TTWS!!!
Faithfull renditions when does this beautifully are as satisfying as different, alternative interpretations. This is incredibly wonderful. Miss REM...love how others are keeping the music alive. This is one of my favorite REM songs without a doubt.
I didn't know how much I needed this! ❤️
I dont comment on many things, but y'all did an amazing job on this. Just so good. Talent, production, engineering.... Just made my day. Thank y'all.
My absolute favorite R.E.M. song covered flawlessly by one of my favorite bands and members of two other fantastic bands! This is incredible! I hope Stipe, Buck, Mills, and Berry have heard this.
Love this song. 🥰
Next mix with these two bands..."Hey Jealousy " for sure!!!
Include "Found Out About You" and it definitely will be pure gold!
I must say Glen NEVER disappoints. He's a total pro singer, singing with his heart ❤
Whats this, you're back..?! You guys are a big part of the reason I got hooked on alt/indie new music. And I STILL crave it at 60 yrs old, lol...
OMG YES. I love everything about this.
omg so excited!!! Fantastic collab of favorite bands!!!
What an absolutely beautiful thing.
