Yeah he's usually too drunk, that maniac! Glad all the times I have seen them he was only half-drunk at the start. Goddamn shame how shit they sounded at Austin City Limits.
@@MrHanzoJinn I thought they sounded awesome. He would add some weird little noises at the ends of some of the songs but the actual vocals for the songs sounded pretty good
As far as U.S. Rock bands, the absolutely stellar melodies from Bob and the gang - they are up there with The Beach Boys as far as 2 of USA's Best Rock bands of all time! 🌝 GBV! GBV! GBV! Sooooooooo cherry! 🍒 🤟🤟🤟
Drove from Arkansas to Columbia MO to see GBV the same year. Pollard had thrown his back out a little and I offered to help him load the gear in. He passed me the bottle of tequila at several points during the show as a thank you. Will never forget that night...Proper rock n roll!!!!
Brooks Browning That’s awesome! They were the real deal. I jumped on stage, with a few others, at a Little 5 Points show a year earlier and raided their beer cooler. Bob was all about it. Sealed in the memory bank as well.
Saw GBV in Houston. They could have played a 1 hr show. They played 3 hrs and the crowd loved every minute. Bob P is like a artist that will be celebrated 100 yrs from now worldwide
don't think any band could ask for a better crowd Its like the audience is in church whoa and the second song just really got going and that shit is AWESOME! wOW these guys are criminally underrated
for old gbv fans, this video is like the shroud of turin. conclusive proof of transcendent genius by one who may not be of this Earth (Pollard) when he was still youngish and just made amazing songs bc the world would need them someday.
I went to countless GBV shows back in the day, and that's exactly what it was like at GBV shows, the Church of GBV. "Alone Stinking & Unafraid" was like a religious experience in concert.
9:1913:19 I remember this show fondly. Senior year of college, me in the center and my dear friend on my left (in the red and white shirt). I still have the Miller Light bottle that Bob tossed my way. 7 years later we got married. And my friends' and I played a GBV song at our wedding, using the wedding band's gear.
I love how Glad Girls has become elevated in status over the years, now becoming a consistent set closer. When I flew halfway around the world to see them play in LA a few years ago and Bob finished by on the refrain "And they're alright", I thought, yeah, they're alright.
Isolation Drills was shit upon when it came out by the diehard fans. It rocked nonetheless. I bought it because the jets were cool and never looked back.
You're fortunate to have a mother who has excellent taste in music and, in her parenting practices...but, YOU also seem to be a cool and, approachable kid who is appreciative - not dismissive - of your mom's attempts to share and, bond with you. Big kudos to you both. Cheers
@@draft1643 youtube account named draft 16 like this guy made this account just to prove this point lmfao. i do think philosophically you begin to reject the cultural objective standards of sonic symmetry or sense appealing traits as you feel an attachment to the soul coming through the music. even if this is a form of idolatry, i believe it ultimately brings this listener closer to their ultimate connection with music, the universe, and something cosmically peaceful within themselves....
I was watching this whole thing after reading this comment thinking "there's no way he actually says this". Like Creed were a huge deal when I was 14 or something and I only properly got into GBV last year, the 33rd year of my life. There's something surreal about seeing Bob back then making fun of Creed. Haha. It fills my soul with joy.
I have this on vhs cuz weezer and Pete yorn also were on. But I remember this the most. This got me into them then I seen how many albums they have out and I gave up. Glad I discovered this. Great set!!
I hope you gave them another shot in the past 5 years! GbV proper is only up to 36 albums now... but add in Bob & all the side projects & you're looking at well over 100. You might not get through or dig it all, but the ones you do are sure to be with you forever. Edit- dude above me is right, start with those 2. If you don't like the lofi sound then jump to Isolation Drills- it's got Glad Girls on it if you liked that one. Happy to recommend til I'm blue in the face if you'd like any more direction than that! 😁
Ok Robert took a shot of tequila, gave a badass speech, and then performed the best version of cut out witch right after. Yeah I'm going to have to watch this performance over and over
Just saw GBV a couple of days ago at Summerfest. They were a staple on the club scene in Milwaukee years ago, with the likes of Couch Flambeau and Violent Femmes. They deserved to go much farther than they have, as so many bands have been influenced by them.
they sound great. was this the Cobra Verde lineup?. anyway, its all about survival and moving forward. i loved the original lineup, and these guys too. Isolation Drills is an amazing record. i love the fairly recent "live in Oslo" performance too. phases of the moon. its all good stuff
Ya, no, this is not the notoriously half assed cobra Verde lineup. It was pretty awful and Bob really did try to make it okay... But mercifully that lineup fell away...
@@kennyvasquez8007 Doug Gillard is from Cobra Verde. He's playing guitar in this video, and is still a member of GBV. I really feel like the Cobra Verde phase was the beginning of the end of GBV in my opinion. Under the Bushes, Under the Stars marked the peak of their greatness for my money. Still a few okay songs here and there post-1997, but overall the new releases are totally forgettable.
@@Chris.T.Ortez138 *gasp* You don't like Space Gun or Zeppelin Over China or Warp & Woof or Surrender Your Poppyfield even? None of the reunion records even tickled your fancy?
this is a pretty obscure song even by Bob standards (despite them playing it live). you should check out "Time Machines" from the same Lexo EP, it rules
Kinda makes me wanna stand in my city centre with a huge placard stating im guided by voices ,and stopping randoms saying excuse me sir /madam or sir and madam have you heard the good news ,you havent well its guided by voices and unky bob is my savior
I saw the mighty GBV in Sydney circa 2000. Bob was walking through the audience and I was lucky enough to meet him and chat. Honestly, by the end of the night the stage was covered in beer cans. Bob was impressed with the Aussie beer VB, and had us chant GVB, GVB GVB! I love this band, a force of nature.
the way he says "do you think she could change my fucked up life" in this set on cut out witch is so fucking hardcore and seems to impact the thematic feel significantly over the progression from the beginning of the song as it builds to the more energetic ending
Well when you write 5 songs on the shitter, 3 of them are great!! Obviously with Uncle Bob’s catalog he’s got a ton of better songs! They made a video for Glad Girls and they were signed to TVT and the corrupt criminal corporation coxksuckers had to make some sort of money! And that my friend is my Bob doesn’t deal with any label but his own! So give Glad Girls a pass on the circumstances that it was under! Thanks ladies and gentlemen! Enjoy as much GBV as you can cram into your brain, it’s a wonderful and beautiful experience.

Right on. They have never sounded so Who- ish to me before
When I heard Bob start singing Glad Girls at exactly the right pitch without the backing, that's when I knew this would kick ass
Yeah he's usually too drunk, that maniac! Glad all the times I have seen them he was only half-drunk at the start. Goddamn shame how shit they sounded at Austin City Limits.
honestly fair. as much as im long term obsessed with this band, GBVs live stuff can waiver

I swear to God, this is America’s greatest band.
erik rust they’re the greatest band who ever lived.
NAH...Not even close.
In the fucking galaxy
There willl never be a better band. Ever.
As far as U.S. Rock bands, the absolutely stellar melodies from Bob and the gang - they are up there with The Beach Boys as far as 2 of USA's Best Rock bands of all time! 🌝
GBV! GBV! GBV! Sooooooooo cherry! 🍒 🤟🤟🤟
In case anyone was wondering, this episode of Reverb was GBV, Pavement, and Built to Spill
Where can i find the full episode
decent, i woulda preferred more creed, bush, and nickelback tho
holy shit so all the greatest bands ever

Classic mid American Rock with Appalachian , Beatles , Who, and REM Roots
Now THAT is a rock n roll story! Thank you, my friend.
Saw GBV in Houston. They could have played a 1 hr show. They played 3 hrs and the crowd loved every minute. Bob P is like a artist that will be celebrated 100 yrs from now worldwide
where at ..at fritz?
3 hours = 1,000 songs!
don't think any band could ask for a better crowd
Its like the audience is in church
whoa and the second song just really got going and that shit is AWESOME!
wOW these guys are criminally underrated

@@absolutelynonameslef My bad! Echos Myron. "We're finally here, and shit yeah it's cool!"
@scottiei thank you! I was afraid you were going to say Hot Freaks...
Seen these guys more times than I can count, and it’s never enough.
Just got back from a show of theirs in Ohio. I've been hyper-rabid since. Can you even imagine the NYE gig in Los Angeles this year? Nuts.
I love how Glad Girls has become elevated in status over the years, now becoming a consistent set closer. When I flew halfway around the world to see them play in LA a few years ago and Bob finished by on the refrain "And they're alright", I thought, yeah, they're alright.

Im am 11 year old and my mom is my guided by voices teacher. Ima going to maybe see them live in november.
you’ve got a cool mum, kid

Tractor Rape Chain
Cut Out Witch

Don't stop now,
***** Thanks for your historiography.
What a spectacular mini setlist
lol! the band looks so awkward when bob talks about the old days in terms of "we".
Bob Pollard is my spirit animal
u funny myron. made me laugh.
Dayton Patronus?
#Daytonus
Doug Gillard is
Pollard's Townshend.
#GBV #Guitar #GuidedByVoices
Agreed
And, his Mick Ronson
Magic is happening- especially “Cut Out Witch”
On the albums, Pollard is his own Townshend (and more)
You mean Townsend is Daltrey's Gillard!
Bee Thousand you mean?!
I used to work at The Trocadero and it was notorious for having horrible sound and monitors, yet GBV rocked this
Every rock band should play with a cooler full of beer onstage.
The greatest band to make music on this here earth. Not a bad song in their repertoire. perfectly lyrics, perfect feeling.
+Gibson Man it's all relative
Lol they have over a thousand songs they're not ALL great
You need to get out more and develop some discernment.

Love that signature kick!
I remember watching this at my moms house and feeling like the 90's were already light years away
Who writes more songs in a year that are amazing??? I love the way they channel the 60's and fast forward into the 21st century.
"If you want a role model, go watch Creed" I fucking lost it. Best line
zzzzzz ronf, ronf listen Ex-Supermodel of g.b.v. :)

Start with "Bee Thousand" and then check out "Alien Lanes."

Hooks.....such great hooks!
as a tribute i feel like going out and buying a naff boring black shirt and writing the best songs ever after watching this
Ok Robert took a shot of tequila, gave a badass speech, and then performed the best version of cut out witch right after. Yeah I'm going to have to watch this performance over and over
bob pollard is the coolest guy ive ever wanna meet. hi pollard if you happen to read this, i wanna meet you and say hi.
isabella oliveira finally met him a couple of years ago on my 15th show. He is as cool and as down to earth as I expected. Super nice guy.
Bobby is my cousin and they rock and Bob will straight up tell you how it is! Shots is tequila are AMAZING
I LOVE YOU
Omg.... Love them!!!!
"glad girls" is a textbook example of how a bass drum can make the melody of a song.
Very 1966 Who (Sell Out era)
Thanks for sharing - I was there (in the balcony with all of the underagers) for a surprise birthday present.
Just saw GBV a couple of days ago at Summerfest. They were a staple on the club scene in Milwaukee years ago, with the likes of Couch Flambeau and Violent Femmes. They deserved to go much farther than they have, as so many bands have been influenced by them.
Alone, Stinking, and Unafraid! Always one of my GBV live favorites. Didn't they usually play it just BEFORE Glad Girls, as I recall?
I love the way Trump sounds like Bob.
they sound great. was this the Cobra Verde lineup?. anyway, its all about survival and moving forward. i loved the original lineup, and these guys too. Isolation Drills is an amazing record. i love the fairly recent "live in Oslo" performance too. phases of the moon. its all good stuff
Eddie Nebula this is the Do The Collapse/Isolation Drills line up.., not Cobra Verde
Conra verde was the line up for 1997
Ya, no, this is not the notoriously half assed cobra Verde lineup. It was pretty awful and Bob really did try to make it okay... But mercifully that lineup fell away...

Hearing/seeing this confirmed my notions about “Cut Out Witch”. And the guitars weaving in and out- feckin’ thrilling!
I watch this set at an unhealthy frequency.
How was this not a huge hit?
Because a few of us have good taste.
Michael Moriarty
Because FEW of us have good taste.
Too many songs to sift through
excellent question indeed........
John Smith
is the song I'm alone, I'm stinking, but I'm unafraid on any released album? I've never heard it before.
Its off another project named Lexo and the Leapers Ask Me EP!
got it! thanks so much!
this is a pretty obscure song even by Bob standards (despite them playing it live). you should check out "Time Machines" from the same Lexo EP, it rules
Did he say "single out or sing-a-long" ?!
doug gillard hasn't aged and is probably the hottest ever member of gbv?
these types of comments always show a sign of health in a fanbase community
Holy Hell, “Cut Out Witch” is fierce, killer.
sounds like The Fall, which is always a good thing
Kinda makes me wanna stand in my city centre with a huge placard stating im guided by voices ,and stopping randoms saying excuse me sir /madam or sir and madam have you heard the good news ,you havent well its guided by voices and unky bob is my savior

This is Americas Who!……….Better then mayonnaise and a tomato sandwich …
thank you kids!
My uncle
I keep looking in the audience to see where I am, I'm pretty sure I was at this show
Jon McCann's drums sound so good. His Glad Girls is even better than March's, IMO.
if your band doesn't have 5 dudes in black shirts and a left-handed drummer, you don't matter
What happens to all the X GBV boys?
I wish Bob would be me my drunk dad
RIP Ben Moyer.
This has to be the most subdued performance of Tractor Rape Chain they've ever done.

It sounds better than in the studio... Well, at least for me
Goddam! Bob drinks 5 oz shots!
I'm laughing THIS IS SOO FAAA KING GOOD
I saw this lineup around this time. 3 hour show, I swear.
Yup same here in Houston
Ditto. Cats Cradle. First of many. Still my favorite line up.
