They came to Boise in the mid 90's played a small club. We and they drank so much beer, I have never seen the likes of them. My brother got beer spilled all over him during game of pricks! It was the best of times, GBV!!!
But that's the deal and the good songs are short that's why they're good and that's why they're special man he got to understand that don't you get your answer is longer cuz it's good then be good would it
Nice to see that Bob is back on the "Two Tub" stage setup again and, that he made sure that ACL had him sorted! New band is outstanding. I was super fortunate to have seen GBV live multiple times in the 90s and through the "classic lineup" reunion in the early 2010's. I am a HUGE Mitch/Tobin fan. However, I have to say that THIS lineup (once Bob came to his senses and brought Gillard back after a very brief time without the brilliance of Mr Doug Gillard) I gotta say that THIS band is the very BEST lineup of GBV I have ever witnessed. They may be a bit "slick/pro/reliable/sober" but the live shows are PHENOMENAL. I think that THIS live performance is proof of the smokin band kickin out a killer version of an older, classic, fan favourite and, keeping it fresh and exciting
Good, I want to hear a long time fan's opinion on this; I was wondering how this stood up, as their have been so many iterations of GMV over the band's long life.
Game of Pricks lyrics I've waited too long to have you Hide in the back of me I've cheated so long I wonder How you keep track of me You could never be strong You can only be free And I never asked for the truth But you owe that to me I entered the game of pricks With knives in the back of me Can't call you or on you no more When they're attacking me I'll climb up on the house Weep to water the trees And when you come calling me down I'll put on my disease You could never be strong You can only be free And I never asked for the truth But you owe that to me
bit of a rando question, but when was this filmed, and who is that guitarist who hops to the front of the audience at the beginning of the song? Just trying to piece together the GBV lineups a bit over the years and he's not in the current 2023 lineup, correct? Or no?
This was filmed during the Half Smiles of the Decomposed tour. The guitarist is Nate Farley, bassist is Chris Slusarenko. Kevin March (drummer) and Doug Gillard (lead guitar) are still in the current lineup. This was just before Bob Pollard broke up the band.
@@Andrew19Fleming do you know how old this video is ? I watched a video of ateve cutts and thats how I got to know about this video. This holds ao many memories - the song - I cried everytime I listened to this . Its such a great song

I discovered this song yesterday and i‘m not exaggerating when i say that this is one of favorites 🙏❤️
Wow. It's a classic. I'm from Cincinnati. About 30min or so from Dayton. GBV is in a lot of our DNA around these parts.
I also heard this song for the first time this year and couldn't agree more.
From Joyce manor?
The cooler onstage / passing beers out to the crowd is my favorite rock move EVER. Amazing seeing them live
lol part time bartender
I've seen them tons of times, seen the cooler...they never gave US any beer :(

God I love this. Pure power chord magic.
Exactly
I love that during Pollards Superbowl half time show moment he's drunk.
Such a cool song. Wish it was longer.
But that's the deal and the good songs are short that's why they're good and that's why they're special man he got to understand that don't you get your answer is longer cuz it's good then be good would it
idk about you but this song is the perfect length
Just play it twice 😆
It's ok guys , it's really just a compliment to the band for creating it.
@@happysapwoods Ever heard of the folk-punk band AJJ? They do an amazing cover of it!!!!
My all time favorite song. A perfect 2 minutes.
He sounded Welsh at the start
He does sometimes doesn't he
Well he does so on purpose. He has said that he sings better when imitating a British accent.
That's the alcohol
@@christopherestrada2474 he had some Welsh rarebit before the gig in other words cheese on toast
More like Lush
Now this is true rock
This somnengameywangy is called Game of Pricks, alright
ACM Producer: "We need two buckets on stage for WHAT now?"

Game of Pricks lyrics
I've waited too long to have you
Hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long I wonder
How you keep track of me
You could never be strong
You can only be free
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
I entered the game of pricks
With knives in the back of me
Can't call you or on you no more
When they're attacking me
I'll climb up on the house
Weep to water the trees
And when you come calling me down
I'll put on my disease
You could never be strong
You can only be free
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
this sonmehameha is called game of pricks alright
Strong
Mo Kenney brought me here. And that´s fine.
This songyammyyanitscalledgameofpricks alright
BUT YOU OUWE THAT TO ME!
The IT Crowd.
name another band that gives a beer to the audience members, bobby p -- what a guy
Giving away his pint during a song about his alcoholism
In the fall
Without in the fall I will never find this song..
does anyone have a translation for what he said in the beginning?
A personal anthem for anyone who has ever worked at Rogers Communications ?
bit of a rando question, but when was this filmed, and who is that guitarist who hops to the front of the audience at the beginning of the song? Just trying to piece together the GBV lineups a bit over the years and he's not in the current 2023 lineup, correct? Or no?

Say hey to Bob, and enjoy the tunes.
