About An Hour Ago OAR 8/11/2006

OAR plays "About An Hour Ago" live at PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ on 8/11/2006.

[@cgeary76]

I miss their old stuff!!! I remember going to see them when they play played small venues.

[@defsownds]

That piano solo is the reason I come back time and time again to watch this performance.

[@str8tballafolife]

And thats Michael Paris on the keys

[@digitalje5u5]

I've been hunting down this video for an hour, just to find this piano solo.

[@trainmanhawaii]

Yup! Me too! Still here 2024..👍❤️

[@defsownds]

​@@trainmanhawaiime too 😂

[@DaGoat767]

calling these guys sellouts is a joke. One of the best bands ever. Awesome performers and have remained creative and original their whole career.

[@jakebank]

This is the best road-trip music you can find. Just make an O.A.R. playlist and let it play for hours.

[@MeetNia]

I don’t mind playing this song over and over again driving to Vegas for almost 4 hours. Yup the same song.

[@defsownds]

that piano solo... brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps and the tinglies all through my spine. good music will do that to you. and i loved when he stood up, like he just couldnt help it because he was so into it. fucking amazing performance. it's a tragedy they had to take on such a generic sound to get noticed as they are now. man this song brings back so many memories... some i dont want to remember, some i love to remember. such is life. and life is music. peace.

[@rickramirez3183]

probably my favorite one of their songs ever..

[@nickieleach7659]

I love this group !!! The words are infectious!

[@callo3]

They are still good... If you were a real fan of OAR you would be happy for them finally getting signed after so long. They are living the dream and still making awesome music. And their shows are still the best live shows around. Have you learned nothing from their music?

[@Parrotisla]

well that's basically what I'm saying. My friends and I fell in love with their old sound, can't stand the new sound, it's like their pulling a Dave matthews one us like an everyday album. My one friend today said he has lost all respect for OAR, though mostly it was because "Wonderful day" was in a car commercial. But at least it was one of their good songs.

[@TheAIGhostwriter_MinorMiracle]

Wow 15 years ago. Hard to believe time has gone that far

[@kenfederighi461]

After working security for 19 years at bars in Ocean City,MD. I have heard enough cover bands to choke a mule! OAR is one of my favorites after listening to a long night of crap.

[@youisgay8244]

Ken Federighi, They where alright for a minute, but I agree with yah.

[@NickMadani88]

This stuff is awsome!!! I LOVE OAR!!!

[@jranner]

great drinking song. holds a very special place in my heart!

[@brobb31]

saw these guys twice in portsmouth va. they blew my mind both times. they're so original but still great to listen to. great improv players too

[@ConqueringFool1]

compare to the live sound. And just because they were able to write some really great "radio friendly" music does not make them sellouts. True fans should be happy for them to finally actually be recognized for their great talent, maybe they can actually put food on their table by doing something they obviously love to do and are dedicated to doing it, no matter if they made millions or not, that's true musicians. What would some haters on here define "sellout" as anyhow?

[@shortyat1093]

my sister saw them at memphis in may. she said they were the best of all

[@jdmaloney7802]

Pure talent at its finest

[@adrianheh]

Sweet - I was at this show! Paris' piano solo is amazing.

[@Fredi2882]

I'm seeing them in Boston tomorrow night, so pumped.

[@andrewschott3635]

Damn, what a masterpiece

[@riversj88]

just saw the guys last night in saratoga great show guys

[@54spiritedwill54]

I was at this show! Paris' piano solo is amazing.

[@KPNJ3470]

Piano is awesome…but don’t forget the man on the drums. That rising pace is a thing of beauty

[@druby83]

love it.

[@muftaaxabdulrahman5945]

Donnie do you live 2019 or death

[@goodfella2145]

seein em 2morrow night in milwaukee, hope they play this one... i kinda wanna toke up with these dudes one day, prolly never even come close though.

[@cgrod17]

this song and delicate few are the best

[@rgriswold012]

long live O.A.R.

[@jcc7386]

I remember going to small arenas in Atlanta when they would play in front of a few thousand people and they didn't even have a piano player. Nothing against MikelParis (piano player), I think it's made them better. I think they are one the greatest bands of the new era (2000s) and have revolutionized the new era of rock. Black Rock, great, Crazy Game of Poker, great, and I still can't listen to City on Down w/o crying bc my friend (who has passed away) and I would sing it all night. OAR rocks

[@Parrotisla]

@twohlrab3 I hear that, I used to travel all over the place to see them, I had to drive from maryland to northern NJ for this show. Now I only go to merriweather post pavilion once a year.

[@ConqueringFool1]

Yeah, without a doubt, I saw them last summer @ spac, as always their live performance is amazing. Their live sound is so much more rich, layered, and full, it has a "largeness" to it that the studio can't capture mostly because bands have to record with a "radio friendly" sound in mind and O.A.R.'s music is just not that simple and one dimensional. Phish, Sublime, and many other "jam" bands I can't think of right now are similar. While they were able to make amazing studio albums, they don't

[@cojobo34]

great band. awesome piano solo. woulda been a great show to be at.

[@PianoTheMan]

The sound quality is way better than the video quality, was the audio recorded separately?

[@Parrotisla]

this is a comment obviously coming from someone who hasnt seen him tour this past year. Best Tour in years.

[@mitakuyeoyasin2320]

Lol 2019 coming from an OAR show and reading these old comments about "sell outs"

[@rcarlsn612]

Lol right. I remember seeing them at little bars in Columbus and Oxford in 2000-01. Got to hang out with them and they are great guys

[@mitakuyeoyasin2320]

@@rcarlsn612 Yes!! they are awesome guys!! Seeing them again in Dec. St Louis

[@njfabio1]

I saw OAR in cleveland when they first were getting big. I have to say I like their earlier stuff better, but they are great.

[@MeetNia]

Sound quality is perfect 10. What kind of camera did you use?

[@Parrotisla]

yes

[@Parrotisla]

awesome comment I feel the same way.

[@derkach77]

anyone know a song where part of it says "4321 the barrel of a gun" something like that that like in middle of song

[@Parrotisla]

check back then I have video from that show that I will be uploading in time.

[@strublesnbits]

It's sad that because a group gets popular and has finally made it big, which was probably their (and most bands) dreams when starting out and they apparently "sell out". True fans still stay true though.

[@Parrotisla]

i agree

[@nicrapacz]

if you like guster, look up their live shit from providence. its pretty tight when they just do acoustics.

[@coleb37]

the piano player wrecked that shit up

[@defsownds]

you're right. ive been saying the exact same fucking thing since i saw the shattered video on VH1. i nearly cried... because now they just sound like the generic shit. notice, they weren't publicized like they are now until they adopted that generic sound. i guess that generic sound is a requirement for being on the charts because people just refuse to expand their musical horizons. most people just like what everyone else likes. it's the truth.

[@psod13]

Hilarious!

[@thgrnhrnt]

carpetbagger and i love them lol

[@ManagFTW66]

what does sellout mean anyway????they earn money

[@billyboy7342]

I have ,I think everyone of there cds, I hate they delete the best on u tube I have to get up out of the chair and look for the cd Dammit!!

[@P2.L1]

2:43 pianissimo , 4:16 solo , 3:45

[@itsmelen]

Marc Roberge

[@nezatd]

You would think that if they were greater than all, they could win at least one of their last 3 trips to the BCS Championship huh? So I guess if OSU>All, then LSU>All+(38-24).

[@twohlrab3]

Back when they were good. I can't believe they sold out

[@Feelingrim]

id say the dead are still better live...even without jerry...they rock out way harder than OAR

[@P2.L1]

2:43 , 2:54 ,

[@Parrotisla]

I dubb bootleg recordings over the video.

[@Parrotisla]

yeah bullshit u cant tailgate anymore

[@Hannahkiel]

I dont like the new stuff nearly as much. they sound just like everyone else, but that's what the market calls for, so....

[@georgiafan345]

being a bass player it was very sad to see a talented and very versatle bassist start playing basic and unactive main stream style bass lines. when i saw them live in concert october 2008 they were very good but you can tell that this style isnt oar.

[@nexivdr]

this fucking is horrible. sigh i cant believe ppl are on here talking about " oooo it brought tears to my eyes, blah blah." grow up. people just see that and just shake their head in disgust.

[@BusterandGinger]

It's funny watching the keyboard guy when he has nothing to play he stands and dances and it looks awkward

[@NBlankinship]

at 4:05 They CLEARLY rip off of the Dave Solo... bum bum bum of the base drum... Typical...

[@shenaniganz420]

"people see that and shake their head in disgust"?? not i sir... i thought it was great. and it also depends how fucked up you are and so on.... i think they are great everyone has there own opinion buddy why would you search for this than and watch it?? idunno just wonderin why people do that and diss everything.

[@Parrotisla]

aww that sucks, the new album is horrible.
