This is a GEM!.... Nada Surf probably one of the most undarrated 90s bands.... good thing they're still out there. Listening to this in quararantine July 2020... who else??
So surreallistic when the singer Matthew Caws puts his glasses on and takes a music stand (as what a band should do while playing his first gig in a ballroom) to read his own lyrics on what will became one of the most powerfull rock song of the 90's : Popular. This is History ! This is pure rock legend !
Losing his lyrics sheet on the last verse of "Popular" was perfect. Looks over, looks worried, nails the verse anyway, kicks over the stand before the chorus. I used to play the hell out of this record in middle school and just came across it today. Great set. Thanks for posting!
Wow, watching this and I am getting ready to state a possible heresy: Nada Surf was the logical follow-up to Nirvana. It is a pity that their label wanted them to keep releasing "Popular" in different guises. Their label should have allowed them to release stuff like this! I understand why they said, "Fuck you" and walked away. This stuff is crazy good!
I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on the subject cause I'm interested in the idea of them being a good Nirvana follow up (there were so many great alternative bands that got screwed by their labels and prevented from reaching their potential)
they were amazing... who knows where they would be now... but never Weezer. Rivers crushes every bit of this, and still does... I wish nada was still here
Thanks for answering. Good channel! :) Nada Surf also had shows with Local H that year which is also partly why i was asking. It's fascinating because Nada Surf took off months after this in Europe, so ir's an early show/setlist in a way.
Everything they ever did was great, and as a band, they only got better better. But Let Go is my personal favorite. The new one this last year is excellent too. I would buy Nada Surf releases chronologically.
This captures Nada Surf at their peak, High low is the soundtrack of my teenage years. Still listen to it very regularly.

first issue with a guitar ..play them by hear out and loud
Me too. Well the 2022 version.
They are part of the soundtrack of my life. Especially this era - 1996 -1997
Not really underrated....they was so popular with popular....
high/low was a flawless album, every song a smasher, virility and angst.
so it is a good album. thanks for review, i will check it out
I loved that album, it's one of my all time favorites I listen to it all the time! such goodness!

@@arlissmichaels thanks :)
Seen them 5 times and they never played Sleep :(
i don't think millenials seeing this do realize how complicated it was to get to film a gig back in the days ^^
agreed!

This is fantastic! Totally captures them at this time. Gonna come back and watch this a few times I can tell!
FINALLY A LIVE VERSION OF SILENT FIGHTING
2 years later they already master their craft. Impressive.
Why it took me so many years to actually search for this?? This is gold, thank you so much for uploading it!!!!
Did anyone notice that in the last popular chorus they sing a piece of a superdrag song?
Wooowww... that Les Paul sound is amazing... Matthew's riffs are uniques

Nada Surf better than Weezer.
Sinful to put those 2 names in same sentence! Nada Surf is an epic band!

@@gsutherland3614 HA. They're still a band putting out good albums and touring regularly.
Well their first album could be compared more to Sonic Youth than any other band. After their first album, I really didn’t care lol
Best under rating band ever!!!

FatElvisRecords thank you for uploading it. Stuff like this is so rare
Thanks so much for sharing.
Just out of curiosity, did you ever tape Local H ?
Imsuchaliar unfortunately I've never seen local h
Thanks for answering. Good channel! :)

i live near knoxville but was not at this show. are there albums any good?
Everything they ever did was great, and as a band, they only got better better. But Let Go is my personal favorite. The new one this last year is excellent too. I would buy Nada Surf releases chronologically.
alt-rock guys don't look like grunge rockers. a little preppy/hipster maybe. lead singer was cute,too
He still is. Older, yes. But still cute.
