Hey, all! Thanks so much for checking out our video. Do us a huge favor and share this every time you get the chance. We'd love to introduce the world to Jellyfish and all of their incredible music!
Yet again, this proves my thesis that loving Jellyfish is the "secret handshake" among top-level musicians. You also brought up Kings X. When I meet other musicians, I will eventually bring up Jellyfish. If they haven't heard them or don't know them, I am not gonna vibe with them. I feel seen, having been one of the only people I knew who even remembered them. Impeccable vocals on this. To me, vocals are the litmus test for how much a musician cares about details. If you cover Jellyfish or Def Leppard, and you don't go all out on the vocals, I know the quality isn't there. In this, the quality is DEFINITELY there.
Best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. And I’ve performed a cover of this song. As much as I love myself I’m humble enough to know what’s better. This is better.
I didn’t think I could love this song any more than I already did. But seeing my fellow Gen Xer’s enthusiasm for this under-appreciated band almost brought me to tears! You guys SMASHED it. 🏆
I just had to listen to the rest of Spilt Milk. After watching this I kept hearing "far behind the forest of flying paper airplanes grazing on the grounds of pony tails..." Over and over in my head. Awesome job guys. I want to see New Mistake next.
Great job, fellas! You can tell you have a real revelry for Jellyfish. Your rendition hit all the notes but also those little details only true lovers of the band notice. I’ve found Jellyfish is one of those band’s bands. Musicians know greatness when they hear it and it was a genius level musician back at the University of Oklahoma that gave me a tape of both albums. I’m no musical genius…but I know genius music when I hear it. Jellyfish.
Massive fan of Jellyfish and always interested to see how other musicians cover their music! This is outstanding, what an amazing version from my personal all time favourite album. Love this so much.
WOW. Like, uh, 'WOW!"!! I've written many words about Jellyfish over the years, interviewed, gotten to know and hung with members of the band, published a book on this history of the band("Fan Club" by Craig Dorfman, find it), spent almost 3 years putting together the Jellyfish "Fan Club" box set 20 years ago on my old label(Not Lame Recordings) - and it still moves my soul deeply to see so many incredibly talented musicians inspired the original band years on down the road. The best, most inspired tribute to the band I've encountered. Pretty much perfect and magnificently inspired. A quick sidebar but related and true footnote story to the band: THE most surprising, humbling and awesome experience of releasing the "Fan Club" box back in 2002 was this...hearing from hundreds of musicians(not just fans) who reached out to say how the band inspired them to become better musicians, to reach to higher levels of their own personal creative accomplishment - and, for many, how seeing the band perform live, four guys singing pitch perfect, transformed, inspired and motivated them to go for whatever their dream in the art was going to be. THIS is huge part of the bands' legacy decades on, I believe it should be better known. Of course, the songs themselves, the recordings are amazing...but their inspiration to musicians over those decades is part of the more hidden, somewhat unknown legacy of the band.
That's so very kind. We appreciate it. I've spoken to so many musicians who light up whenever you mention Jellyfish. It becomes an A-ha moment that you bond over for the next 20 minutes. Happens every time. : ) Such a legacy.
@@DonnieWayneSmith Indeed, it very much is a somewhat obscured and overlooked part of their legacy: the reaction, the influence and inspiration the band has had - and continues to have - on musicians to...well, just reach higher and find their own excellence.
Bruce:> "RIGHT ON" brother. You have done so much for the Power Pop genre over the years with NOT LAME and Power "Pop Geek Heaven". This is one mucician who's privilege it is to say "THANK YOU" Warmest Rrgards, Billy Csernits
That’s an immaculate cover. What a truly great band they were, it’s criminal that they never made it. The writing and production on both albums is peerless. As a musician myself, I’ve only ever met other musicians that know them - they’re like a trade secret.
I started listening to the Beatles because Jeffyfish broke up. Fantastic cover! I’ve only ever met a jeffyfish fan online. Greatest band 99% haven’t ever heard of.
The vocals?!?! I had to rewind & listen a few times & my mind is still blown. Absolutely stunning cover, just as fun as the original. Edit: I had to come back & heap more praise on y’all because the hold this cover has on me is wild. I’ve listened to it at least 30x in the past couple days. Simply put, it’s masterful. Honestly? It might even be BETTER than the original. The bridge especially is funky as hell & the entire arrangement is immaculate. Y’all work together like a dream.
There's something magical about JELLYFISH. I heard some studios still use Spilt Milk to tune everything? And then years after their break up, a box set was released with 4 CDs of live, and unreleased tracks? I have it, it's amazing. I still can't understand why it was released? Then years after that a tribute CD was made with all sorts of bands covering their songs? And now this amazing creation from "Separate Studios Together?" When are the guys in Jellyfish going to realize we need them to get back together. Last I heard Andy Sturmer's voice was the Transformers song, one of the Transformers series'es'es has Andy singing it. Looking now. Look up Transformers Animated. That's the one and only Andy Sturmer. He's also involved with a past Sponge Bob song.
Jellyfish has to be the most widely underrated band ever. The good news is, almost all of my musician friends know who they are and appreciate them with all the enthusiasm they deserve.
Those harmonies are EFFING EPIC. Love finding others that love this album as much as I do... Been listening to it since it was released in 1993.. Great stuff guys..
This was absolutely phenomenally fantastic work here by all of you fine musicians... and I RARELY ever dare to play cover songs of such pop masterpiece music. You all have made Jellyfish proud with this spectacular version of Joining A Fan Club. Thank you!!!
While recording a Demo in 1991 the sound engineer told me to come give this new band a listen. The band, Jellyfish. The song was "The man i used to be" My 1st Jelly exp was in front of studio monitors. Needless to say i was BLOWN away with the sound of that album in its 'native habitat'. Bought that album the next day and it owned me for at least a year. Its ALL i listened to. From that moment on i became a gigantic Jelly fan but also a Jelly evangelist converting everyone i could. In 2020 they are still a huge part of my musical diet! Viva La Jellyfish!
That was absolutely terrific! I only just learned about this band 3 days ago and I am so happy to have found them! Thanks for making this. Phenomenal atuff
This is so, so, SO GOOD! Thanks for doing this. I cannot wrap my head around tracking all the vocals and mixing them. Also, thanks for the Whalebone CD suggestion - killer stuff! I had to go buy a copy on eBay!
Hey. Thank you so much. Glad you dig it. I spent some time in Brazil on tour. I loved it over there. Check out my playlist of shows I played with Winger. You’ll see some of the shows from there. Thanks again.
Really great job on such an incredible song. I saw them live in 93’ , what a great show! So glad to see them get the appreciation they deserve. I would love to hear you guys do “All is Forgiven “ my favorite off Spilt Milk.
Thanks Angela! Jealous about you seeing them, I never had the pleasure. We actually covered 'All Is Fogiven' live, back in the 90's, when Chris and I were in the band Donnie goes on about at the end of this (Rufus T. Firefly). One of my faves as well. It was a TOUGH song to pull off live, not sure we ever did it the justice it deserves.
Annnnd KABOOM!! Mind blown! Super fun to make a lil surprise appearance in this with some of my long time musical heros and with the OG 'Chris Stokes No.5' no less. SURPRISE CHRIS!! This looks and sounds killer ya'll. Oh and what Donnie says in the video about that Rufus T Firefly album? Same here!
@@DonnieWayneSmithIts the absolute truth! In fact, i first picked up your album back in the day because so many people were making comparisons to you and Queen! After all these years, you guys sound better than ever! Please put out some new music!!!
@@Xcorgi hey, that's so super kind. Want to make sure you know though, this is just a cover. We are all huge fans of Jellyfish and really enjoyed recording one of their songs.
@@DonnieWayneSmith Wow! That’s just how good you guys sounded then because I was first under the impression you were the former members of the band that years later decided to do a COVID lockdown video like so many others did during that time. You guys are pretty damn authentic. However, my first clue should have been that the lead singer wasn’t also playing drums at the same time like the original band.
Incredible work guys, I would love a full video just on the background vocals alone. How they were picked out? how they were recorded? what studio processing was used, eq settings, plugins etc.? How many harmony parts were doubled, and anything else of interest on this stellar performance I'm jealous!
The world is a better place for having Donnie Wayne Smith in it! Where he pulls out unthought-of performances from a bunch of his musician buds. Watch (and keep checking in on) the whole Separate Studios Together series, it's awesome!
She turned the nightlight on a blew him a kiss. He stared back through is green crayola eyes. She traced his likeness from off the back of a disc. Next to the boxtop promise of the biggest prize. Joining a fan club with my friends. Filling our bathtubs with tee shirts and 8 x 10's. He looks so dreamy, I'm in love from afar. When I'm picking up a fallen star. Downstairs the late show's blasting 'age of the rock'. The greedy monks playin' last Sunday at the milky way. Mom's writing checks to the minister in the corner singing 'dig Down deep'. 'Cause if you wanna go to heaven all you gotta so is pay to pray. Joining a fan club with my pen. Filling my bathtub with Holy water and amens. He looks so dreamy, I'm in love from afar. When I'm picking up a fallen star. Shake that woody. Shake it for me St. Pinocchio. You've paid your money, now watch that money grow. Joining a fan club, best be warned. He turns me on when he wears that lampshade corwn of thorns. We'd be so dreamy, Sharing his black caviar. While I'm picking up a fallen star. Joining a fan club is a big mistake. I still get heartburn when I think about all of the stamps I ate. I wished I'd loved him, Before fate crashed his car. Say a prayer for the fallen star.
such a great cover you made!! I looove this band as much as you do and I'm looking to cover it too with my band...it's such an under rated band!! Congrats for the great work!
Do you guys have a copy of Jellyfish "Stack-A-Tracks"? Released in 2012 on Omnivore records.. It's the Bellybutton and Spilt Milk albums mixed during the same sessions as the original albums by Jack Joseph Puig, but MINUS THE VOCALS.. They are a revelation..

Brings tears to my eyes hearing this song, especially the vocals. Astounding performance and production!
Excellent! Just listening on my Apple AirPods! Those harmonies! 🤯 Nailed it! 👌🏼
Love from the UK 🇬🇧 😉👍🏼
A great version of probably the best song ever written.
Thank you so much for listening. Glad you dig it.
Hey Donnie just DMed you on Facebook Messenger. If there’s a better way to get in touch with you let me know.
I entered into this video the thinking "there's no way they can pull this off". You proved me wrong. Hats off to all of you!
Yet again, this proves my thesis that loving Jellyfish is the "secret handshake" among top-level musicians. You also brought up Kings X. When I meet other musicians, I will eventually bring up Jellyfish. If they haven't heard them or don't know them, I am not gonna vibe with them. I feel seen, having been one of the only people I knew who even remembered them. Impeccable vocals on this. To me, vocals are the litmus test for how much a musician cares about details. If you cover Jellyfish or Def Leppard, and you don't go all out on the vocals, I know the quality isn't there. In this, the quality is DEFINITELY there.
Absolutely!
oh wow this exceeded every expectation, the attention to detail and the production is actually superb
Phenomenal job! Jellyfish, King's X, Big Wreck! Three of my all time favorite bands.
Best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. And I’ve performed a cover of this song. As much as I love myself I’m humble enough to know what’s better. This is better.
That's very kind indeed. Thank you!
I am a jellyfish fan. And this cover is simply unbelievable...
Good choice and well done guys
Fantastic cover of the single most criminally under rated bands of the 80/90’s. Thank you!
Jellyfish & The Producers
AMAZING...AMAZING...AMAZING!! Love Jellyfish since '91. You guys freaking nailed it!!
Well done, boys!
Wow, seriously amazing production. To even consider to replicate something like this takes balls, and to pull it off! Dedication. So impressed
You have Done JELLYFISH Proud !!
Fantastic.
Thank you. We all put a lot of love into that one.
Awesome guys
Eff me!!
Damn, DAMN great job all around!
I didn’t think I could love this song any more than I already did. But seeing my fellow Gen Xer’s enthusiasm for this under-appreciated band almost brought me to tears! You guys SMASHED it. 🏆

Hey, CS! Thanks man. It was a fun endeavor for sure. We have some more lined up (but no more Jellyfish for now).
Jellyfish was indeed an incredible band. I was fortunate to have seen them live in Sacramento during their Spilt Milk tour and it was unforgettable.
Omg! That was amazing!
All I can say is thank you, you did it justice.
Brilliant. You guys really nailed it. For those who knew and loved their music😊😢for everyone else hearing this the first time 🤯
Big Wreck and Kings X love the comment... If the world only knew about Ian Thornley .. Glad they don't best kept Canadian Secret!!
Damn! that gave me goose bumps!! Best cover of Fan Club! I really really hope that Roger and Andy got to see this
