Barenaked Ladies - "Brian Wilson" (5/6) 2007 HD

[@dspf68]

2004. Hospital ridden with cancer. Nothing else to do but listen to these guys!

[@robertmills2147]

It’s 2024 and I truly hope you made it.

[@mattatron1629]

@@robertmills2147no he died

[@607Skinner]

This is one of those tunes you just can't get out of your head...what a great song!

[@sgtpepper1138]

My wife and I call it a "Reliant" song, because we were in HS when it came out and we would drive around in my parents' Plymouth Reliant and listen to the radio and we always loved when this played.

[@chancegheno8096]

I Totally Agree. I Can't Get It Stuck Out Of My Head

[@kelqueen9998]

Gordon is a freakin' masterpiece. Magnificent music, great vocals/harmonies, and amazing lyrics.

[@twoofuswearingraincoats34]

One day the world will discover the genius of Steve Page and Ed Robertson and wish they had paid attention.

[@dab2871]

so much talent wish they would get back together!!!!!

[@cathyscarvey2461]

2020 Still listening and love it

[@TravelingwithValeman77]

Watching this during the Covid-19 self isolation.

[@85More]

Brian Wilson made an a capella arrangement of the song - that's why the Barenaked Ladies sing the first chorus a capella.

[@dongravelle1909]

This song absolutely rocks!

[@scottsheard4756]

Through it all away! WHAT A VOICE

[@MikePlus3]

Love BNL. What a great performance. This particular lineup was my favorite. So much fun at so many shows.

[@edwindonaldsnider]

Brian loves the song and the group and the guys love Brian Wilson and has masterpiece works of art

[@hunterbidenscrackdealer3753]

Fantastic song!

[@hilsmoore1416]

I love the later versions of this song with Kevin Hearn's incredible piano playing.

[@lindaborthwick8654]

I miss Steven Page a lot. I haven't been able to listen to BNL for a while because I was so sad about him leaving.

[@cheetah1140]

linda borthwick I still listen but it's not the same.

[@aaronrood4508]

He does solo work you should check it out, and he still tours

[@666godge]

I heard this song when I was in my uncles jeep - I was a kid then: when I asked who was playing on the radio he said- it's the bare naked ladies I bought there cd!! Lol I'm thankful for him at that moment...

[@anndolan4349]

Great song.

[@nufcedkidyup8627]

I would loved to hear this song pulled out to 10 minutes in a jam!

[@danadavies2576]

I saw them in 1993 in Moose Jaw Sask. they sang million dollars. They were just starting to be famous. It was outside. It was awesome!!! This is my fav song ever!!

[@RBerube76]

What a great song, and so relatable.

[@mooeykay]

I loved them so much with Page in the band and even though I miss him I will never stop loving BNL.

[@okrajoe]

Seems an appropriate song for these times of quarantine...

[@jamesdevine1005]

Thank you.

[@mattp4079]

Driving my 1985 Ford Escort in the rain, when this came on CFNY FM 102.1 This song was unlike anything else on FM radio. Then I saw the. Diane Sawyer interview with Brian Wilson. Thank you Martin Streek (or Dave Marsden ) for introducing me to this band.

[@danaraed]

I remember they came to Moose Jaw Saskatchewan in 1993 played an outdoor concert!! They were AWESOME!!

[@michaelgonchoroff2951]

This was at Pine Knob in Clarkston, Michigan. Great Venue. Great show.

[@jackdoyle9903]

One of the most musically talented you will ever see

[@kevprescott66]

A great tribute to a true legend..

[@HEYitzED]

I'm so mad I never got to see them when Steven Page was still in the band. :(

[@mollyverrelli185]

HEYitzED me too!

[@monkabrahms7997]

Twice for me..maroon tour was best

[@Nightowl333]

Same :( saw them for the first time live after he was gone cuz I discovered most of their stuff late. Always regret that.

[@vassa1972]

Awesome

[@jamesbridgers958]

I always like this guy's singing better.

[@phriendlybear]

wow, this quite touching...to brian wilson.

[@elizabethhanlon3969]

❤❤❤Beautiful job, Love it!!

[@aprisonerscinemastephenmur6932]

I was literally looking for Brian Wilson playing acoustic... But ok I'll give this a shout lol

[@HeyMoonx3]

I heard this song in my uncle's car too, he had the "Rock Spectacle" CD. They really are a great band.

[@vc27r]

Amazing cd!

[@jamesweldon9726]

I have that CD. It’s an experiment in combining regular music CDs with CD-ROM technology of the 90s It was designed to be a multimedia experience when played in a PC. Unfortunately, the original Mac-only version of iTunes didn’t know what to do with it. My iTunes library plays “If I Had $1,000,000” and the bit about the “Well, for Christ’s sake!” lady in the middle of it-BEFORE the audience is told that particular story.

[@musicsunhappy]

Thanks for sharing. Just saw them few weeks ago. Missed Steve Page, hope he rejoins the band.

[@musicsunhappy]

Why did Steve Page leave and what is he doing now? Talented.

[@musicsunhappy]

That is a shame, they were great together. I just saw them in Chicago although they put on a good show, i just felt something missing. Thanks for the reply.

[@MajinBadat]

It was more then that, he had been missing work sessions and spending all his time taking drugs and hanging with hookers.

[@MajinBadat]

except all the talk of his drug use came before he left the band, it was the drug use that pushed him over the edge.

[@liammckinnon88]

MajinBadat Intrigued why you think he was "hanging with hookers" ? Absolute nonsense.

[@patrickvanrinsvelt4466]

Sounds like he had a bit of a cold here... but still always great! Saw them in Auckland many years ago. Stellar!

[@jackdoyle9903]

Not a cold unfortunately, he was likely high

[@jeffj55]

song still slaps

[@HigzyTeflon]

Braaaaaaavo! What.a.performance! ❤

[@lolcatzrmad]

Love Big Brian.

[@Monoplacophora]

Damn!!!!!

[@doorsalt5553]

2 years before Steve left the band. Crazy to think rhat was almost 10 years ago.

[@CoachingWorksInc]

Classic...

[@lh1218]

Banger

[@nathanielhart5267]

Is there a ROCK SPECTACLE FULL CONCERT VIDEO? Probably the best live CD EVER!

[@thedokes1]

Why,oh why, please one more time

[@hoderharris]

Let’s be honest Page was the band. I am sure there were lots of fights behind the scenes, but it’s still a shame they could not work things out between them.

[@jackdoyle9903]

Hoder Harris bands where one guy is crazy addicted to drugs never work out. Same thing happened to stone temple pilots

[@MajinBadat]

Most of the song writing wasn’t done by Page. He also didn’t do all the vocals

[@pointysidedown]

Ed wrote most of the music. Steven is a great front man for sure, but hardly the band.

[@maxnovakovics2568]

I guess you could say "It's All Been Done" y'know, buddy goes to The Old Apartment, but If I Had $1,000,000, I might ask someone to Pinch Me...

[@johnnybrace]

100% Page the reason they ever broke. The rest is goofy chickens, and monkeys lyrics.

[@garye4145]

BNL will be getting together for the Juno's. The Canadian music awards in 2018. Should be a great show as they are to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

[@kreigdernier9553]

Crowd captivation level: god

[@catherinehooper9039]

This was THE group! Steve Page should never have gotten the boot! He was in the group!

[@gtrdoc911]

I recently read Brian Wilson has actually covered this song in some of his recent concerts! Can't seem to find a vid of that on you tube.

[@jesseshore3873]

gtrdoc911 it's on his live at the roxy album

[@aaronsibley]

he's actually the reason they do the acapella in the beginning before the band kicks in because brian wilson had just done the acapella bit live

[@jimt.626]

Page was the real vocalist of the BNL

[@TheDSB1979]

who cares if he done coke etc! still a legend...

[@klarebear7211]

the weird thing is, brian wilson himself has sung this song during his concerts...

[@BarrioFabulous]

lol, that is AWESOME

[@Chrisdavies33]

Jim Creeggan on Double Base 👌

[@Leo_vr_fr]

I bought their album "Gordon" cause I really liked "If I Had a Million Dollars" and this song was on that album. Really liked it.

[@capt.alessandrothundernutt7310]

Steven's voice is irreplaceable. Even Ed looks to have a better time when Steven is on stage. Ed's the man, but...

[@JeffreyMunro]

they are still together

[@anthonyirelan5112]

after a few random wiki searches i have no clue... can anyone give me a clue why i sang along to this song for so long and just now realized its got major thought implications? ( don't get me wrong I understand Mr Brian Wilson and his story) but this song confuses me to this day... 38 yr old crappy fan from ohio here please dont judge me :)

[@twoofuswearingraincoats34]

Bags of MH issues happening here. Steve is crying out for help, imploded a year later. fabulously talented guy.

[@monkeyman767]

He likes it, he did a cover of it

[@stephenj2186]

Steven Page = Canadian Ed Sheeran

[@shaynespivey5554]

MagicFlea74 Dosen't recall the law suit against Brian Wilson and his uncle. He was not the principal member. He and his uncle put his name on the songs that Mike Love had written. Brian Wilson's uncle was the manager of the band in the early day's. They say they "forgot " to add Mike Love's name to the credits. They settled out of court years later!!! Mike Love is the principal member!!!!!!!!! Keep it REAL BRO!!!!

[@bearwelch7256]

How about them fucking harmonies. Wow

[@ason81]

a "rock-star" does coke? wooooow, what a travesty!!! Who cares? :) #soundsAwesome!!!

[@MajinBadat]

Doing coke wasn't the main problem, it was everything that came with it. He missed work, was hanging out with hookers rather then being at recording sessions. It just became to disruptive, drugs kill you but they also make a mess of most peoples lives.

[@sgtpepper1138]

Truly a shame, let's hope they can work things out and get back together. Because, honestly, while I still love BNL, it's just not the same.

[@toddfoster8705]

They totally ran from that Page dude after his Coke in the Washroom incident, and I think they should have been more Supportive. The other singer is straight edge I understand, which is awesome, but why not show more love to Page, this Dude Sang the best of BNL's Shit. Made them great. The messed up looking Bert from Sesame Street tried to Rap and that was such a joke. Anyways. Good Tune.

[@Nightowl333]

SO TRUE!!! What an ass hole straight edge to not understand and support him. They need to reunite, sober people need to realize non-sober people arent BAD people, its an illness. Support them and offer help. COME BACK STEVEN

[@dylanwesburry]

I suppose Brian likes it... He sings it in some of his past concerts.

[@TristanandIsolt]

Man is Steven red!

[@rocwater10]

What kind of conga drum is that?

[@catherinehooper9039]

BTW......I love kraft dinner lol!

[@dougsignorovitch1493]

It too bad the ladies lost Steven. There just not the same.

[@nickhammer6408]

what was that at 4:25 ? my god i am laughing over here.

[@catherinehooper9039]

Sorry to say.....BEACH BOYS RULE!

[@ingenerchik]

Who is it about? Who nos that Ryan Wilkins he sings bout?

[@TheJusnic82]

guy was coked outa his mind but still amazing

[@hcgtrplaya92986]

What’s with the guy in the lab coat looking like a MD while rocking out in the back on a bongo?

[@brandonshaw7619]

He's a Dr of the bongos

[@ItsMeMoises]

he doesn't get much recognition as much as he should ! i admire his patience !

[@lincolnmaceachern2410]

Page sounds like he had a bad cold; can't help thinking of 1993, when the 2 sold out shows in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island were cancelled because he was in our local hospital with tonsilitis.

[@MajinBadat]

People don’t seem to realize that the reason Steven left had nothing to do with the drug thing. He left cause he lost interest in being apart of the Band. He was already getting ready to leave before that drug thing happened, they just pushed up his departures to avoid any bad press for the band.

[@misstotalyrandom]

better be im going to see them at the end of the month be a bit dissapointing if not lol =P

[@TheZurul]

1:17 wait for it...

[@BlickInStead]

Bring the Page back,, Ed. Band has never been the same. F your nice Canadian CBC-ready sensibility.

[@crod179]

I'm curious what the pitcher, Brian Wilson, thinks of this song. . . Im sure the beard approves.

[@nets1616]

I dident know Gary Busey had a son that played double base for the BNL

[@pwntwtf]

that's ron howard and kevin bacon's kid

[@131tobrien]

7k views for bnl wow..

[@jamesweldon9726]

For years, I thought they were singing “…like Brian Wilson, dead…” It bothered me the more I heard BNL. They seemed to know a lot about music. Surely they know that it’s DENNIS, not Brian, who died. I told my sister about this. She said “Did”. Huh? “..:like Brian Wilson DID!” Oh…

[@tedsledinski2589]

I do wonder what Brian Wilson thinks of this song?

[@juicedeservedwhathegot5491]

12 years I have watched this and even seen this tour live when I was a kid and only now notice that page is using a cheap 200$ acoustic guitar lol

[@beatboxinfool]

It gets real at 4:19 lol

[@samsoncrosswood7259]

As a casual fan, I can’t understand why the guy who didn’t really sing, but talk-sang, like Zoe Daschenel, was the lead and not this guy with the big voice.

[@samurityuit4516]

Hey was a Hipster before anyone knew what that was

[@TrueStrongNorth]

What is the drummer wearing? It looks like a physician's coat.

[@segriffincom]

The plastic glasando does it.

[@brosjacoah4719]

Add a harminica in place of the organ and it's nearly a perfect song.

[@bluelotusgodspark2402]

Lyrics please God dammit......

[@cubalz3806]

Man, they really needed to turn down the organ, it drowned all of the rest out. Damn.

[@kendallmaslak2475]

Kendallmaslak is a good night and ok

[@sobsman]

So many hack singers drop an octave while doing "high" parts live. They sound nice on the CD because they're tweaked by the studio but can't sing for shit live. Every live performance by Steven Page sounds just as good as the CD.

[@xxcharmed1xx]

Dude its 2019 and i just found out Steve Page left BNL :( Not cool.

[@The-me9qp]

We aren’t doctors?

[@bradwolfe1980]

Page looks angry.

[@jackhaste62]

Y'all saying Steven Page was the best part of the band. You're clearly ignoring Jim Creaggan, Kevin Hearn, and Tyler Stewart. Without their instrumentation, the band would have been and would be completely different.

[@modestlygoodale]

I think Steven Page was pretty drunk for this one.
