Cracker - "Low"

Cracker perform 'Low' in promotion of the 'Kerosene Hat' album, 1993.

[@GuitarMapsDrumTracks]

I want the 90's Back!

[@founditnow54]

You know a band is talented when they sound just as good or even better live than they do in a studio. These guys are amazing!

[@nutsackmania]

Yes

[@zephyrjet122]

They are killer live! Agreed.

[@InsaneStryker777]

I think the guitar solo sounds better live. It’s a simple, tasteful solo.

[@MrXdaltonxp]

Throwing down!!!

[@InsaneStryker777]

That’s not talent. That’s mindfulness.

[@robberlingieri]

They really nailed those harmonies in the chorus.

[@inthekingdom1996]

It kind of makes the song

[@ghostz28]

Gotta love songs about heroin!

[@andreadler3726]

One of the most underrated BANDS of the 90's

[@stuka97]

Darkly beautiful poetic.

[@imhereforagoodtime]

One of the most underrated songs of the 90's

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Omg yes. This song and Get Off This are so awesome.

[@nomicons]

Underrated? This song was on the radio nonstop in the '90s. Like it was literally everywhere. So tired of people who don't get what "underrated" means. 😆

[@pablosabato4608]

more 4 us, dude

[@traycefoster9369]

Among the best rock songs ever! Perfect blend of lyrics, vocals, instruments, and atmosphere-unique

[@doesntmatter2505]

100% agree. This song is amazing

[@str8trippinnnn]

The lead singer, David Lowery, teaches at UGA now and he's my music business professor.

[@chrislwilliamson]

When I was at UGA, we were going to see Camper Van Beethoven at 40 watt

[@Fraserfirrr]

What? That's crazy! I've lived in Athens for a while now and I had no idea he was at UGA.

[@joshuabreland]

Amazing.

[@theskinnieguinea]

That is absolutely great

[@theskinnieguinea]

Who that uncle Jessi on lead?

[@exstreeter1]

I took bands like this for granted back in the day. Shame on me.

[@lettersfromhelen]

Shame on us all, pal. Well, we've been punished. Karma.

[@timman8er]

How would we have known? Know the shit is Beyoncé !!! We are screwed to put it nice!

[@StudioMod]

fucking moving words, guys. but utterly true, isn't it? We're fucked in every way with music right now. Takes hours to find anything good

[@captinbeyond]

Music that blows you away after 30 years as much as it did when you first heard it...now thats saying something.

[@DrManishYadav-bn1im]

I am lucky to have found them still. Good music will always be appreciated.

[@AudiophileTubes]

One of the best songs of the 90's, easily! Top 3!

[@ghostz28]

Million poppies will definitely make you sleep, and just that rose knows my name.. ive been low, like a junkie cosmonaut.. you feel like youre a million miles below everyone elses feet. A million miles, a million miles!😢 Well put.. and the rythm mirrors the repetative waves of withdraw smooth then hard

[@deejay45647]

the 90's were so great ....this is just 1 of so many great songs of that decade

[@wcarloswilliams]

totally agree.

[@AshleyOulton]

One of the best songs of all time!! Never get tired of listening to this!

[@jonassteinberg3779]

A million poppies used to make me sleep. But not anymore. Anyway my dude on the bass is killing it with those background vocals!!!

[@captinbeyond]

Poppies,but no wallflower. I could hear him

[@Safetysweet]

Better than Bob Rupe IMO.

[@inthekingdom1996]

Amen to that

[@timmillan6701]

Now that you mention it, backing vocals are quite good here

[@ElectricSwordfish]

His name is Bruce Hughes...I swear he looks like a completely different person every time I see him

[@yentles777]

A Perfect song! Complete with David Lovering of the Pixies on drums!!!

[@robertshubitowski1984]

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Cool.

[@mirkomedjed9845]

Gdje si gledao? 😑​@@robertshubitowski1984

[@RebelThoughts82]

This song is amazing! it's like Tom Petty mixed with Grunge!

[@redskies4530]

Hi I Recommend checking out an Indie Rock Song called 'Looking Into the mirror' By Robert Nix

[@petefaders]

@@redskies4530 That was painful

[@timmillan6701]

Good summation

[@tomkohlman8110]

I'm 72. This song never gets old. In my top 10 of all time. And that's a long time ✌️

[@Shitty-l8p]

What's the rest of your top ten?

[@kelljm]

Holy crap! This sounds just like the album!

[@robertsmale]

@04:20 drummer coming up off the chair to hit the kick hard, Steve Gadd style. Excellent.

[@floki5605]

It blows my mind how similar this sounds to the studio version. I'm very impressed.

[@babylonkid]

I miss you 90's. More than you can imagine.

[@themountainsandthesea4121]

Me too

[@douglaconti7113]

Me three

[@jfroobo]

that rift is so heavy hits a dark place in my mind that im all to familiar with

[@InsaneStryker777]

It’s a spiraling sound.

[@BlakeNix]

Damn, this song better every time I hear it. Killer band. They should let these guys play forever.

[@Dollarkat]

That was a pretty dam cool guitar solo.

[@IngotAU]

Thanks for posting! I really love this band. They're important for my sanity. ❤️😄

[@blasterman9]

Incredible performance.

[@sonnygunz9207]

I remember when this song came out, I loved it and still do over 20yrs later.

[@JeTTRod]

Add another decade to that 20 years, and it's still a wicked tune...

[@Margarinethebutterlover]

Great song, great performance.

[@midwaynights]

Addictive song.

[@KriLun-y8z]

I love this perfomance! You can hear that they love this song and to play it is not a job, it's a passion. So they take the oppurtunity to bring this masterpiece to our world the best they can, and they do it sooo good. Love the drummer, sensitive, yet so powerful. It would be a pure bliss to hear them perform live. 🥰

[@AnonymousAccount514]

Wow….this song gives me THE CHILLS

[@meandmyEV]

They were so freakin good live. One of the best I have ever seen. When I saw them around 96 or 97, they opened with Low. Pretty ballsy considering it was really was/is their most well known song. It is like they wanted to get it out of the way to put it out of everyone's mind.

[@hurschmann]

They still are!

[@sto4713]

God I love this song so much brings back good time memories of a younger me that was happy and jamming in an old 80s Chrysler to a timeless rock anthem.

[@gregorylapointe4157]

Great song and great performance!!

[@NaturalEnrichment]

At 2:21 "Like some junkie cosmonaut" the guys are dancing so perfectly together and in time its satisfying as fuck to watch

[@2-pistols]

Yeah their adrenaline was cascading down their backs.great moment

[@Paulino9017]

love this song , it takes me back to a better times

[@RichardJordan-sv1ry]

Played it last Saturday for friends,got invited to a gig,in 7wks.Hell YEAH!

[@bumfitmusic101]

In 1993 I won concert tickets from the local college radio station. Three bands in Hershey Pa: Cracker, Gin Blossoms, with the Spin Doctors headlining. The Spin Doctors sucked (we left three songs in), Gin Blossoms killed it, but Cracker blew me away! Instantly a life long fan, and David's songwriter was a huge inspiration to my own. 30 years later, they're still going strong. Cracker rocks!

[@bluebirdconundrum]

Cracker should never have been on a bill with bands like that (IMO) but hey, that was the 90s. I saw Cracker at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta in the late 90s and they were super tight and clear as a live act; I was actually taken aback by how technically sound they were. They used Low as the encore for that show, and for part of the evening David Lowery played what I remember as a green and white Charvel semi-hollow that sounded incredible. And that night I also realized what a truly outstanding guitarist Johnny HIckman is. Cracker is absolutely one of the five best bands of the 90s and I think their reputation will only grow with the passage of time.

[@bumfitmusic101]

@bluebirdconundrum Couldn't agree more! Met Johnny and David in the lobby of the World Café early before a show. Super cool, we chatted for a little bit, and away they went. Really got into CVB because of these guys too!

[@SUPERCLYDER]

This song ROCKS ! It does not get the air play it deserves from the classic rock stations! It is real classic ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nashnwo1234]

this song gets played on the radio literally every day and i still rock out when i hear it come on when im at work

[@Myxlplyx69]

Damn. That is a really great song! I'm going to listen to it again...

[@WestVirginiaPatriot]

Love this song and this Live Version is Bad Ass!

[@jayjaykingbee5566]

The timing of when the vocals come in is everything with this song

[@velliebellie]

One of the best songs ever.

[@MegaBigdog1960]

Killer song the riffs are eternal I can always rock out to this song. Back when music was music!

[@chuckfinley6156]

awesome. this song will NEVER get old.

[@hyrczykj]

I miss these songs! Need to put them back on the radio.

[@wcarloswilliams]

Very well written song. one of my fav's from it's time.

[@groberts3967]

I definitely took bands like this for granted, unfortunately. Saw them in Philly last night 1-17-20 awesome show !

[@halofreak4t5]

Lucky! This is one of my favorite songs from that generation. Just has such a good sound.

[@707RipOtee]

damn. haven't heard this song in many moons. Still Love It!

[@rxcalvosa]

Songs like this kept me alive through the 90s. 23 years sober today.

[@feltongailey8987]

This has truly aged well.

[@4tuneagent]

Great! Had to revisit this killer jam after not hearing it for years.. It holds up well in today's world..

[@g.j9748]

This song kicks ass.. its like the summer of love meets the 90s

[@bartdeans169]

Man, This is the best l have ever heard them Play this Song. The vocals Rock!!! Who Agree's?

[@susan3049]

Great lyrics! Great Musicians. Nice guys, too.

[@garynicol1059]

Unbelievable! Live on Conan and perfect. Sounds like the original recording. That's the measure of a band, playing live, balls out and nailing it! No bands do that anymore because they're few and far between.. I give cracker 5 stars on this video and a bowl of soup!

[@JamesPawson]

Now THIS is the grunge of my youth.

[@liverlisa]

Absolutely friggin' amazing tune!!! God I love awesome music!

[@ChiliBingosJams]

Saw these guys in Lawrence, Ks in '94 with Counting Crows. Awesome show!!

[@nutsackmania]

happy to see you guys have rebuilt since the nuking

[@mackdelaney5490]

Without a doubt one of the most underrated bands of the 90's.

[@lisaeileengrant]

OMG, last night on my way home from school, this song came on the radio. Its really cool.

[@v0n1b0]

Saw them live in Boston outdoors at Gov't Center in a free show headlining 3 or 4 other bands. Can't remember the year, but Brandy Wood was bassist at the time. Hearing this live made me appreciate it all the more.

[@derrickcountryman9994]

I wore the Kerosene Hat album out back in the day!!!!!!

[@SSK-27]

Love this song and great performance!

[@bartdeans169]

Absolutely the greatest song to come out of the Nineties!! Hand's Down!! How many song's have been played in Sporting Events . This one and other's. Only great song's get to wear that Prize!!! How many People agree with Me?

[@munyunu]

So good!

[@ultrakool]

90s rock is a long lost art

[@anac883]

I missed a lot of music during the 90s and 00s when bringing up my family and working, but came across this song when I recently watched 'RECTIFIED' on Sundance and was blown away by it . Great song and show!

[@sonicjet7759]

Bad Religion, Cracker, Pearl Jam and Social Distortion should all tour together 😊❤in 2023

[@justinkelly1981]

1) props to the audio engineer. That's a great mix for how loud the stage must have been. 2) that fender amp/JC120 combination us interesting.

[@2-pistols]

Is it though

[@tjnugent62]

The JC120 for clean or he has them both on together to give definition. I used to do that with a Mesa Boogie Mark IIb and a Lab Series L5.. What a combination. Run in stereo with a Boss CE1. The big honking metal pedal. God knows what that would be worth today. The chorus circuit in the CE-1 is the same they used in the JC120.

[@dozer1642]

Absolutely loved these guys back in the day. I just realized I still love them like some junkie cosmonaut

[@BlingzBoutiq]

I never grow tired of this tune💛👍💫Thx 4 posting it 💫👸💫

[@j.rothchild173]

In 1993 I was in X-Ray school and me and my classmates used to hang out for a beer and this tune was as in the radio. Awesome times the early 90s…

[@mjt11860]

kick ass song! didn't know this song existed until i heard it on the radio a few mos ago. gotta quit living under a rock.

[@jackoo666]

they sound fucking great live

[@arkrazor354]

Kid grows up in Redlands, CA- makes good. As an aside, I think Conan has been the most engaging of the talk show host with his musical guests. His show has gotten better since he left NBC and went to TBS.

Loved this as a teen . Timeless is great music.

[@anyghost]

I love the cloud graphic in the back. Why don't they still do shit like that? It looks awesome.

[@TempoDrift1480]

anyghost Probably the same reason they don't do good music anymore either. Or good television shows.

[@xomischley]

Idk you never rly see people do that, other than Pink Floyd ofc but I love it and there should definitely be a visual affect added to music
