At nearly 50, my wife LOATHES that they are still my favorite band.
Ha, nice!
I’m 51 and they are my favorite!! Them and the Fall.
If she says 'grow up"reply, I ready have!
I've always felt the same! They are fuckin awesome!
I forgot how good those shows were. I’m 51 now and was at this show w all my HS friends. This and a show a few years later in DC on the 4th of July were some of the best shows I can remember.
They were a major influence on The Beatles. That's a fact. It's all right there clear as day.
nailed it
As an 80s kid they kinda were our beatles. Lol
I’ve done acid. But I’m scared of the acid you’ve done
Meant for brewdonkey
"Tomorrow Never Knows" always sounded like a BHS song, so there might be something to that.
That's certainly one dirty, nasty groove once it gets rolling.
That band knew how to rock a nasty groove for sure.
Vacuum bag cat butt holey-oh nasty!🤢🤮
It's like jazz,grunge, psyche & the worst garage band had a baby...... Ladies & gentlemen.. . THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS!!!!!!! still my favorite band. & will never be replaced...
you know when the band busts the sousaphone out on stage shit is about to get real
must have seen this video 80 times in the past two days
Yesssssssss
@@InfiniteRhombus same
Haaaaa!!!!!!!!!! Ha! and you know this!
😂
This period of Buttholes taught me that music could be hilarious and genuinely terrifying at the same time. Unforgettable if you saw it- no video can come close to capturing it.
I love how this band irritates the shit out of people around you who are hearing for the first time
The Loooord Is A Monkey
This is the greatest thing that ever happened
...Leary is unbelievable!
Leary is one of the best guitarists in the world, no mistake. Right up there with Geordie from Killing Joke.
And a pretty epic voice
F Y
(that means fuck yeah)
Beelzebubbbbles after John Paul Jones produced the Independent worm saloon album he had Paul play on his album Zooma check it out it’s good stuff
100%
He's a mad genius.
It takes any diy artist to use their imagination and to understand what their music and sound is truly about. That's one of the reasons why I love The Butthole Surfers.
DIY at it's best! They're truly geniuses.
How bout any artist ever
@@sterlingcale1242 any artist ever specially in this generation Z are fcking rip offs of others trapped in stale uncreative stagnant musical formulas.
This should be in the Library of Congress. The bass guitar is playing in a different key than Leary and the tuba, and it's BRILLIANT.
key? lol
Michael Purcell . Um...no. Gibby’s humble electric bass playing is in the same key as the stolen Canadian Sousaphone (not a tuba) and Paul’s unique guitar riffing and vocalizing. During the ten times that I saw the Buttholes live from 1986 through early 1988, they pretty much kept their music cogent and cohesive, at least compared with the other insanity constantly at play on stage. In this video, they are not always playing the same note, but this does not mean that they are playing in different keys. It seems like a bit of a basic music primer might be helpful for you.
Yes it is
@@blindlemon9 shut up
@@blindlemon9 bru h I play tuba, its a fucking tuba
So many popular bands old and new owe so much to this band.
I'm sure someone showed up to this show on acid not knowing how it would be the greatest thing to ever happen in their life.
I saw them in ‘09, and had the perfect combination of morphine and whiskey to the point that I had an out of body experience during The Bong Song.. best gig I’ve ever been to, hands down.
I saw em at on 4 way acid. Between nine inch nails and these guys.
I saw god.
Oh they knew
I was at this show and somehow it’s seared into my brain.
I think that might have been me.
I need to hear the electric razor on the guitar, what a show when I saw them in the 80s naked painted stripers in the background while red asphalt the DMV movie played. Just awesome,
Watching this right now really chokes me up. RIP miss Taylor.
RIP Theresa.
when she left the band - i moved on. i saw them 2 times live w/ theresa
Legend!! Everyone thought Theresa and King Coffey were brother sister for so long they just went with it kept up the lie 😅
The original version of this film was released in the mid 1980s on VHS tape in a clamshell box. I want to say that it came with a limited edition 5 inch record. It was at $30 back then and might be valuable to collectors nowadays if it has the 5 inch record. MVD Distributors released the film on dvd and those are available on eBay etc for $10 of less.
Do you happen to know if the quality is any better? This quickly became one of my all-time favorite live recordings, of anything!
@Timothy Newitt it's amazing material. i do a radio show and on the New Year's eve special I timed it so that when they finally launch into the song, that opening tuba note hit on the stroke of midnight. it was AWESOME. it was really Something!
It was called Blind Eye Sees All and it was interspersed with the craziest interview footage of them all in a bed smoking and drinking and tripping balls.
@@waylonjenninzThe Etruscans & Wallhonkers & Chinese men who showed worm movies out of their penises
I remember seeing them at the Rollick in Atlanta. The bass player/Pinkus? was hitting the lowest note on his bass as low as you could play real loud. It hit my stomach so hard that I puked wine in the corner of the club!
Nice!!!
😄
Good times.
Hilarious!
Yes, I remember this kind of experience in Buffalo.
I saw them at Tin Pan Alley in NYC's hell's kitchen in what must have been the biggest fire trap I've ever been in. People were standing like sardines to see both drummers and the Seusaphone! It was magical. Back n the day, I saw them at CB's and all over the place. They had nude gold painted dancers for one show and every single time I saw them, it was a musical changing experience. Brilliant in so many ways....
Different venues (TX), most likely same tours in late 80's early 90's. Madness that will never be rivaled by live bands again. (I hope that statement is wrong). So incredible to live through it.
One of the few bands that scared me live. Love the rhythm and noise, but dear baby jesus. I'm not sure this could come from anywhere else but Texas.
Uh....well, yeah. That's the dirty butthole of texas culture...my favorite part! 😂
Great recording, thanks for posting!
If I see someone wearing one of their tshirts, I can generally get an entertaining conversation going within 10 seconds.
this is hands down thebest piece of music I have ever heard in my god foresaken life
Foreskin life maybe
Holy shit. The studio version was already my favorite song of theirs, but this rendition is like that one lit itself on fire, slit the throat of a virgin as it burned to death, and came back as either a demon or a god. My mind is blown.
I love the beat when it's slowed down, it makes it so much more moody
man this is right up there with the early Mr. Bungle and Tool shows, for stuff I'm pissed I missed. With the friggin tuba and everything
Christ almighty that was bloody amazing. What an outfit. Live them. So pissed I missed them. They were coming to brisbane Australia but one of the drummers broke his leg really badly so they canceled. I was devastated. Have all their albums. Locust abortion technician is a masterpiece. 22 going on 23 is such a full on song.
it may have bean a her? haha
It was Teresa who broke her leg.
I think I'm the only BHS fan that hates 22 going on 23. The music is good but the misogyny is like someone sprinkling gravel in your ice cream.
@@Beelzebubbbbles no, she's never broken her leg.
@@boboloko there is nothing approximating misogyny there. It is a fake call-in to a non-existent radio show, nothing more, nothing less
Love me some BHS!!! New Year’s Eve show in ‘91 in Houston almost sent me over the edge into an alternate universe! May have been the huge amounts of psychedelics I was on too!
Whoaaaaa....wtf...
Love them when I was 13 ...love then today
Brilliant only word for a live band like the surfer's
WOW. i am just discovering how good this band is. Revolting Cocks brought me here
You might want to check out Lard as well .
Enjoy the voyage
this is so ridiculously brilliant! Shame that many will never see it
I was at this show!
Damn
Then you are a true butthole
A buddy of mine was in the High School AV club that shot the video. Blew their minds!
I didn’t realize it was a high school AV club, that’s hilarious, makes this footage even better. They must’ve been wondering what the fuck was going on..
Bravo!
Theresa was and is underrated for her bravery. RIP
One of the bravest, most magical humans I've ever known. I love you, dearest.
gibby on bass ..hell yeah!!!
Saw them for free at a Guavaween in Tampa Fla. I will never forget it !
they rlly go to show how there are no limits to creating music…… they do a great job at it too. drummers r so cool brilliant band
fucking great! love the drummers.
Paul Leary is playing a Peavey T-60. Those things were made in the USA and built like a tank! But despite that, they didn't catch on because everyone wanted Les Pauls and Stratocasters at the time.
I have one, yeah litterly the heaviest guitar on earth.
When Animal from the Muppets goes to bed he watches these drummers.
imagine this being a band
It does not get better!!!
Great. This song just made it into my shuffle. Makes me want to dance.
FK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Finally a video that's got the tuba !! That's what I was lucky enough to see in DC in '83-84. Can't remember which year, but I will never forget that show, and to think they opened for the DK. Yes, the DK were huge back then in the scene, but to think how big the BS ended up getting. This old man can die happy now. Because I know, PUNKS NOT DEAD !!
That tuba brings me back everytime
Saw this tour in Seattle. Surfers in their Prime!
Most definitely one of my favorite posted videos of one of my favorite butthole songs. Thnx for the upload. That tuba is awesome, I've seen em a dozen times but somehow didn't ever see that version.
I can't breathe.... best sh*t ever
now that's the hole truth, and nothing butt x
Ya'll. I have been looking for this song for 30 years. Finally found it. Was starting to think I was crazy. Now I'm sure of it.
30 fucking years to find a song..?! Dude, impressive. I haven't even been *alive* that long
Must've been one long ass fever dream until it clicked
Is it just me or is gibby trippen to hard to even come out lol fucken love these guys
them crazy Texans
Yes. I remember this tour, although some of the group couldn't make it into Canada. I'd say the work of this band is an important contribution to U.S. history; i.e.: this is America? Thanks for posting.
I have literally eaten some cheese and rice today.
I fail to comprehend how the Surfers didn't become the biggest band in the world. I guess it's the hidden nectar that only the persistent and inquisitive will find. And good ole southern boys just like you and me, rem, time after time was my least favorite song.
Patrick Foster I have a feeling it’s cuz their name is the Butthole Surfers
Too unconventional for most people. These guys did whatever they wanted on stage and Im sure it made the normie uncomfortable.
Hey! They ArE the biggest banD in The woRld! SomethinG leAry said To mE!
I mean I saw them on Letterman. That's kinda big, or no? BTW Dave looked as surprised as I felt that he said L's and G's please welcome the B-Hole Surfers.
This sounds like what my stomach feels at 3am after several bad food choices at the chinese buffet
I wish I could take a time machine back to 1985 to have witnessed this.
Oh well, seeing them starting in 86 to 89 I saw then 4X instead. My bad, I missed out on this
I saw so many good shows at Traxx. This was one of them. It’s a small place.
I saw them in 86' at the Greystone, I was 13 and it blew my tiny pathetic little world...was fucking awesome
Yes! The geystone. Hadn’t thought of that for years. Ever go to the Hungry Brain downtown?
Went down after they were closed and wandered around a bit, there were still mattresses tied to the beams by the stage.
So good, so good, so good, so good! Orgasmic psychedelic sonic landscape. Leary is god!
Now that's punk rock right there.
RIP Theresa. It was just a year
Dear God this is beautiful ❣️
Loving them since 82 👍🏼🥳🥳
Philip Glass wishes he ever had this much raw talent and energy.
Love them so much.
Jaws dropped and So many complaints heard about them at the 1st lollapalooza. It was lovely.
So sick when Leary shreds that last triumphant note 7:42
I had a chance to go to a bhs show in 87
Nah i thought
"It's better to regret something you have done
Than to regret something you haven't done"
Me with Gordon Lightfoot a decade ago 🤯
I'm *still* kicking myself over that!!!! I make sure to see everyone I can now, especially with all the groups I like starting drop dead from old age or retiring
Swarming the sound through in waves and folding it over like folding steel into a sword. Beating it with giant hammers. Traxx from the flying sparks illuminate in the dark eyes.
Does anybody have Gibby's bass lines in tablature 😂 Paul in a turtleneck. Beatnik Surfers!
Love these guys.
An old friend once said that if you tripped on a bunch of acid and enjoyed their show then you missed the point.
I saw them in Columbus OH in November this same year.
Thank you : )
that is teresa and king coffey
yea
I was there. Traxx, Detroit.
It mystifies me how anyone could downvote this wondrous thing.
Good luck at the inauguration, guys.
Was born this year, stepchild.
🤘👽
Masterpiece
love that tuba!
Sasaphone
Gadzooks, and here I thought Sunn O))) were the ones who made merry with the low brass.
This was way before Sunn O)))
@@sheepdavis That is indeed the jist of what I was saying, yes.
Wow wow wow - is this great! I love it!
Fabulous!
Best band EVEEEER
Profundities in ineptitude...pass the chicken salad
...Andy Warhol on sousaphone?!?!
Amazing!
This is insanely dark and funny compared to the version I first hear on Pioug’d. The narrator is way less misunderstood in this one lmao.
Life was so simple back then haha..
Ultra hardcore straight edge pinky-mohawk botanic nerds reign, rule and eat your hearts!
Woah I didn’t know Paul sang this song. Neato
He makes counter tops too
sounds real real nice! Just like pecan pie.
I always wished they collaborates with Roky Erickson!
I see your bass guitar....I raise you...one white tuba...I'm all in...fuck it
Some wild shit, all in , why not !
Saw a warning before a show they did about this time in New York: DO NOT DO LSD AT THIS SHOW. I...I get that.
Live shows back in the day
don't know how this didn't catch on
THE BEST DISTURBED MUSIC EVER
I looked down and I couldn't see my legs
Mars Attacks! A very good weapon!
