Ah the good ole days. Letterman was still back at NBC at his funniest and musical gems like this from a budding new music scene were all over the radio.
Nice intro....! (I was born in Redlands hospital in Glasgow)...but also......after a craniotomy....I've got an 'un-scheduled' hole in my head....lol....
They were for a while and had a studio there. But originally from Cali. David Lowery is in Athens Ga now, Johnny Hickman is in Colorado. But they still tour. Their newest incarnation is a six piece band with keyboard and pedal steel. They never sounded better! Seen them 4-5 times in 20 years and their live shows are always great!
Check out the Pete Droge performance on Letterman, of an equally fine three-chord rock song, "If You Don't Love Me, I'll Kill Myself." They were definitely enjoying that one.
They don't write songs like THAT anymore... The perfect post modern commentary for an intellectually lobotomized population thru social media. It's amazing what 30 years can do.

Saw these guys live back in the late 90s. One of the best bands to see live along with Son Volt. Man I miss the 90s.
I remember watching this live..,,,Great Band
Good lord, Johnny's guitar tone is great
He's the only member of Cracker actually playing here I think.
I was gonna say that to !! KILLER !!!
One of the great bands
Should be in the Top 500 Song of All-Time
What are the other 499?
Dude on the Les Paul is laying it down!
Wow. That's the most animated I've ever seen David! Johnny's guitar still has some uncovered spots!
That was fun
Saw them at The Metro in Chicago. Good times.

Grew up with them in Redlands. Def hometown.
They did a great cover of the Flamin' Groovies' "Shake Some Action."
I think Paul Schafer and his band-mates probably enjoyed the heck outta playing a good three-chord rock song for a change lol.
They always get into it. The 90s rocked for letterman

Cool song, but 4 guitars?
Let's take the skinheads bowling!
This group rocks!!Prolly wouldn't conform to the music industries evil deeds so they bowed out.
Or...they're still around, actually.

I always thought this was performed by REM for some reason.
I like this song far more than Low.
Absolutely
Is that DUDE wearing a mini skirt? WTF?
Think I'll try to find a place to be surly.
Is it me or does the lead guitarist look like Niel Shon?
I JUST noticed dude in yellow playing guitar is wearing dress and pantyhose !! wtf even then man!! even then!!
Tail End of GLAM METAL/ROCK My Guess?
That dude is wearing a dress lol
Dude's giving Barenaked Ladies a run for their money for that "Least Attractive Band Award".
He reminds me of Bryan Adams a bit.
He looks like Matthew Modine.
