@Terp02 I had always wished they had just taken a break instead of breaking up. They were so tired from over-touring and they were just so beaten down at this point. Their record label was the true cause of the breakup. Non-stop pressure to go go go.
I can see the story on his face..the horn-section was BLARING, you could barely hear the vocals/piano/song at all. Hence, Ben making eye contact with one of the dudes and singing "I thought about your mommy" -- he looks pissed as they cut to commercial.
Hate to get all Marshall McLuhan-in-a-Woody Allen movie, but I’m the guy playing tenor sax. I suggested that line to Ben, which he sang looking at me. It’s very childish humor and we loved it.
the bassist is awesome
i wish they would get back together... at least with the Bass player.. hes one of the best bass players ive ever seen. Love his sound.
I was there for this. Love BFF and Latterman
still listening July 2020
They're great.
Looks like Tom Maxwell from the Squirrel Nut Zippers playing tenor directly behind Ben. There ya go.
great bass

hell yes it is...
He says "Here son have some pie"
Is that Tom Maxwell on sax in the front?
Yes. And Ken Mosher.
He does that so he doesn't get bleeped out every time he sings the song. And I'm pretty sure he says, "Oh so high" on this one.
LOL "i thought about your mommy"
woot big band
@MattLikesMusic27 Ben wrote a lot, but the chorus for "Brick," for example, was Darren Jesse.
ahhaahah ! I thought about..... your mommy... that was awesome.
I think he's just having a damn good time. I know I would have if I was him during that performance.
Son your oh so high... Yes, that's the lyrics...
Curse you censorship
this is a TOUGH song...and I thought...about ...your mommee....lol oh ben.

@alucardmai but on the track version he says fucking high
Wrong Letterman performance. They broke up a few months after they performed "Barrytown."
he should have said "your fucking high"!!!!
@nixrox13 you cant say "Son ur fuckin' high" on national television!
It just seems a lot slower to me for some reason..
Is it me or is he getting back at the censors around 2:33? Sounds like he's saying "yea bitch! bitch yea!"
sounds a bit more like here have some pie
Letterman's tone-deaf brass and reed section out in full force.
learn to live with who you are....
