The Tea Party - The River - Q107 Rock Awards 1993

[@alainakedans6]

the most criminally underrated band in history. hands down.

[@nhender]

Dam Right!!

[@aniballopez61]

There's many others but The Tea Party ,as yuou said, is the most underrated band ever.I have all theyre albums and is hard to find a bad song.

[@awakenlilrabbit]

They never became butt boyz for the record label owners .

[@orcsmash9]

anibal lopez you are absolutely right. There are songs that I may not like overall or call my favorite but none are out right bad ones. I’ll take a “bad” tea party song over most mainstream band any day of the year.

[@dean-marr]

So true . I think they are the best 3 piece since rush. My favorite since 93

[@kellygriffiths137]

How can there not be way way more likes for this This was them in their finest moment Young, hungry, unpolished, nothing to lose, everything to prove. The beauty of youth F@cking banging tune

[@ajh21313]

Fuckin A right!

[@dontrushme2112]

The most underrated song in all of rock. Still blows me away :)

[@Danimal77]

The most underrated BAND in all of rock.

[@listenup8660]

The Americans wouldn't push the overwhelming sounds coming out of Canada 🍁 back in the 90's and still don't because of that border thing.. Thus guys should of moved to California in 1990 and not mention anything about being Canadian which would have led to more dollars..

[@Fwinkle1965]

Listen Up I saw the in Los Angeles at The Roxy a couple of years ago. Amazing! Packed house. I couldn’t believe I was so close to such a phenomenal band.

[@newpraxius]

I'm Canadian now living in Australia. They just did a concert this past weekend in Melbourne with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. It was sold out and it was MASSIVE!

[@MbunaMarcus]

I heard they were big down under...very cool

[@CrocsterS4]

They’re music is beyond amazing! The ability to create this is unbelievable. Well and truely legends.

[@globulant99]

You gotta love a three piece rock band. Everyone in the band has to work so hard to fill the silence. You gotta love 'The Tea Party'!!

[@roypublik948]

Remember when the Tea Party was AWESOME?

[@cbilan34]

It a crime...a CRIME that this band isn't World famous!

[@mikeseaquest9246]

dude.. this stuff owned us kids when it came out...

[@cbilan34]

Yeah....I was in Seattle when this album came out. We were lucky enough to be close enough to Canada to catch some of it. I have loved this band for a long time.

[@embassyhotel]

There really popular in Australia, actually there huge in Australia. & Canada as well obviously, I've been fortunate to see them live many times in there home town of Windsor,Ontario,Canada & London,Ontario,Canada.

[@aniballopez61]

Hey folks lets make a campaing to make them to become world famous.

[@rocker4577]

Why do they need to be famous?

[@rhyswaldin6699]

A Once In A Lifetime Performance........

[@stable-shadow]

I know all the Guys personally, we saw them in Port Huron MI, Sarnia, Ontario 1991 and 1992 if you can Imagine they were even more powerful than this performance.... at least 4 times at Campbell Street Station, Everyone knew they were going to be magical.... Live show incredible...... this music straight up Sex..... 🕊️

[@katstewart5267]

May 2024 ✨✨Jeff Healey died way to young. Seen him 10X right across Canada. TEA PARTY 🎶🎵🎼 ( Jeff Martin) Is iconic w/ that divine tone he presents. Tragic this band was so under rated. Only Canadians know what treasures & artists they are. L💚VE them. 🔨💜🔨💜🔨. Stuart can shred that guitar like no other. Memories 4 Eternity .⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🎯👍 ✌❤✌ 🍁🇨🇦🍁 ✨✨🎶🎵🎼

[@MartinChicoine]

There are no words to describe how talented these guys are. They channel music directly from the Creator.

[@joeblob611]

They were phenomenal live for the Edges of Twilight tour, made it down to Tasmania to the Uni Bar and we gave them as good as they gave us. Set the bar too high for anyone else since. Still rate Edges of Twilight as their best...

[@coldacre]

fucking outstanding! crowd just saw Zeppelin & The Doors in '69

[@freefromit2]

Its funny but true. that was Jim Morrison doing Jimmy Page 1973.

[@MrMusic193]

Wow two outstanding Canadian musicians Jeff Healy introducing and then the tea party playing wow

[@sogentlywego1369]

Flying from the United Kingdom to Canada this march to see these guys for the first time in about 20 years! So excited!

[@jonny555ive]

How was the show ?

[@bradhilton2283]

They always play the tragically hip and rave on about them so much , I think these guys are truly one of Canada's best hard rock bands .

[@chunky_luva]

TAKE ME THERE SON!

[@raykolcun752]

How this band was not the biggest band in the world starting in the early 90's is amazing to me. Totally underrated, esp in the US. Its almost criminal. Totally channels Zeppelin, without being a parody or outright imitation. The riff at 4:11 just rocks.

[@rickleblanc8900]

Yes, they channel Zeppelin but don't rip them off like Greta Van Fuck.

[@AnnaLVajda]

They were huge in Canada there were just LOTS of great bands in the 90s so they were one of many.

[@mattrowephotography7231]

They are well loved in Australia

[@Horicert]

I was 14 when I saw this performance on TV and I was blown away. Absolutely phenomenal energy. I bought all their albums, although I wish they had stuck with this incredible hard rock sound they showed here.

[@dean-marr]

Me too I was 16

[@jerichobeach2967]

Shades of Jim Morrison with Val Kilmer shaped eyes, just different colour. Weird since Kilmer played Morrison in the movie near this time. Jeff had the look the talent the stage presence. I was 13, but on mtv I knew of them by the time I was 16 in 96. I’m Canadian but I didn’t know they were at the time I just loved the music.

[@markboyd1696]

This band blew my mind back in 1994 and continues to blow my mind to this day. Most underrated band in rock.

[@Danimal77]

I have you beat by 3 years.

[@jeffsimard8846]

I have seen the Tea Party a number of times: and they are one, if not the tightest Rock bands I have ever seen

[@bloodsling]

Splendor Solis is still so freakin' good.

[@timtucker7506]

What live music should sound like. Flawless.

[@ezsmith3765]

Live music should sound flawless?? I prefer REAL, from the heart, high energy at the cost of a few mistakes... oh well. The best sex is kinda sloppy.

[@0look0in0not0out]

Sooo epic man. Still today!

[@frankjasutis6669]

I have seen them live numerous times..every time...every time..fantasic

[@anthonydagostino6618]

Only just got into this band after seeing them open for Live in Sydney, they are so awesome, can't stop playing their stuff.

[@hanslander2849]

Classic example of a band not reaching the status they deserve solely because they're from Canada. Jeff Marti is a guitar legend

[@GAMilne]

Hats off to that drum tech - noone is working harder than him :)

[@sydneycastelfan]

1993? well thank you for making me feel incredibly old

[@Fwinkle1965]

Holy shit. So good. Phenomenal.

[@thejohnson9204]

Yes this is. Jeff, the singer lives near me now here in Australia. I get to see him play often. The guy is a fucking genius......

[@Fakename70]

Jeff Healey R.I.P.

[@thejohnson9204]

This really is an epic live performance...

[@mattnuttall2832]

Brilliant performance! Such an unappreciated band!

[@bobshenix]

Awesome intro, awesome song. I've never even heard of this band.

[@eltonazo]

Glad you like them, classic band amazing band i was 14 in 95 when i heard of them .

[@MathieuLLF]

Love this band so much

[@skullivanfranklin4117]

Epic Performance !!!

[@robertrogers2395]

So RAW ! Jeffs drum kit is absolutely bouncing.

[@dimitriossin8435]

Jim Morrison's new band ? Gotta love Jeff !Best band of the 90's !

[@ZarathustrasCrown]

Jeff Healey is a fucking god man, don't know many people who can play complex blues without seeing, but he made it look easy.

[@p1ippers]

its a great mood he sets

[@ajh21313]

Sept. 2020, this till this day... Rocked my fuckin face off!!! One of the best rock trios ever!

[@stuchua1025]

wow! how time flies!

[@travismann6603]

I was incredibly lucky to see them in Chico CA USA. They had no business being in such a small town. We were blessed.

[@bluesnags7711]

Never saw one Tea Party performance that was less than 110%

[@jasonbois1725]

Jeff Martin actually has perfect pitch when he sings

[@nderohan]

Jason Bois yes yes he does!!!

[@p1ippers]

so fucking awesome. power!

[@Aussie9er]

Fucking brilliant

[@scootiepuffjr.6436]

One of the most unique voices is rock, i love it

[@embassyhotel]

yes his voice is cool. If The Tea Party were American I bet you they'd be pretty big.

[@DavidGarrick1515]

Fantastic show !!!

[@soulstice99]

Fantastic

[@lindademizio5154]

Awesome 👏 seen you guys 6 times come back to Canada 🇨🇦 I’ll I’ll see you another 6 ✅🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘♥️♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯

[@thejohnson9204]

He lives one street over from me in Byron Bay, Australia. I get to see him often. The guy is a boss!!!

[@gailic09]

still awesome today! they got very little air play in the u.s what a shame! but you can still get there music here,just have to look for it. well worth the search though!!!!

[@rquarantillo]

Miss this band so much. My deaf friend heard the Tea Party with us in Buffalo. That's loud...true story!

[@Tarsus790]

This band is full of special talented people with wonderful songs ☺️

[@curiousottman]

Very talented.

[@boostmartian9005]

There 97 album transmission is one of my favorite albums of all time

[@dean-marr]

Best trio since rush, they killed it in this performance, and geddy Lee presented after this performance 👏

[@PYSCOPOMP]

What a fucking tune indeed. Cheers to everyone that feels it.

[@ThatWyrdGirl]

He sounds even better today.

[@stephenroberts8964]

Absolutely superb

[@valvenator]

How the hell did I miss this band?!?

[@h20doctor]

there on tour right now ....

[@scarymike51]

I saw them in Detroit with opening band Creed in 1997. So amazing

[@shakeena1524]

valvenator IKR. I’ll see them this May. Color me stoked!

[@Danimal77]

Because you're probably American.

[@orcsmash9]

Dan Maler I am American and thanks to Muchmusic in the 90s I discovered them and have all their albums. But sadly no concert tix.

[@HajileLezcnev]

Holy shit.

[@adrianace4168]

im in the front row, underage by the tall guy headbanging with almost long hair what an awesome night. met sass jordan, jeff healey, sabastian bach, and slik toxik. will never forget that night :):):) amazed how tiny i was lmao

[@stevefrowley7190]

Great Live Band if you ever get a chance to see them Don't pass it up you won't be disappointed. They are playing a Home Town show in Windsor On. on July 13, 2017. Can't wait gonna be great.

[@scottjensen7045]

Holy shit Man!

[@washout04]

So underrated. Best band in the world for me.

[@blackgrendel]

So so good.

[@kellystauffer8479]

Where have these guys been hiding? I love it!

[@VesperSomerset]

20 years ago, almost. Damn.

[@Danimal77]

27 years ago. Damn.

[@drseuss8589]

They're very groovy

[@tmckague]

The Lizard King lives!

[@stranayadevushka]

Totally! Even with the vocals! 😁

[@christsrevenge8030]

tmk. And he plays rhythm and lead electric guitar.

[@lilyofthevalley5586]

Reincarnation of Jim.

[@zoybegos7174]

Great live version!!! \m/

[@scottb75]

Saw them in Barrie ON 2 years ago love the show they still sound amazing

[@lindemann247]

I saw them live in 1994 commodore ballroom...it was like I was in another dimension

[@marcodamp5527]

a hidden column of rock history, thanks to TTP...

[@stranayadevushka]

Thank you Road Rash(N64 game) for introducing me to this amazing band over 10 years ago! 😁

[@jerichobeach2967]

I love at 1:19 the drummers like k were going! Just love that drum start off.

[@MrPhilby68]

Please come back lads.Today music Shite!.Got lots of fond memories attached to your music.(hiya young Morrison).I cried hearing this as cds'' stuffed.Going to get another set!!!Long live real noise!!!!

[@tracyireland6663]

Great song

[@lilyofthevalley5586]

Fabulous band and only a three piece!!!

[@Mike_rem]

30 years ago, wow

[@dikbozo]

Groovy indeed. See them live again. For the whatever number time it is. Then go see them again. Mr Martin is a World Class Front Man. In this performance, at least no verbal byplay, too bad. Smashing intro, kind of arrogant in a way. The long locks and the dark good looks reminds me of both Jim Morrison and Robert Plant and the performance is every bit as good. As a guitarist not too many can stand as better, actually very few. Perfect performance ofr this song at this time in their career. For those not in the know, the tour is cross Canada this spring... look out for them.

[@scottymonahan]

GOAFT

[@TheUnrevealer]

I became a fan after Road Rash 3D:)

[@england8331]

Back for seconds, thirds....thousands

[@KAOTSOUKI]

kick ass!

[@Katzenkaiser]

anspruchsvoll, beeindruckend, fantastisch!!!

[@ThomasMcDrum]

Burrows destroying the drums. Awesome version of this song.

[@jonny555ive]

Absolutely agree with you 🤘🥁🥁🤘

[@Joetrout]

at 1:56 "shit there goes my cymbal!!!!"

[@Darryl6636]

Kick ass band I seen them back then they put on one hell of a show

[@litawells4264]

The reason why this band didn't make it big in the States is because the lead singer was criticized for trying to look and sound to much like Jim Morrison of The Doors. Just like always people are so Damn judgemental, doesn't mean they weren't talented. It means they weren't given a fair chance.

[@adamcotton2121]

I have never heard anyone comment on Jeff's brilliant use of cymbals. Criminal.

[@seanraleigh999]

Absolutely, man. Twenty years later, and we have failed to paint it black....

[@jollyrigger1560]

F$cking awesome....

[@Red21Viper]

Λαγνα κομματαρα! Epic

[@johnsmith-rb3ho]

yes

[@poemsin]

C'mon man... this is huge....

[@DavidPayne-xp9hz]

They're the doors on steroids!! For sure!!
