Brad's amazing baritone voice. Compelling lyrics on interesting topics avoiding all of rock's boring and worn out cliches. Actual songcraft with great hooks and melodies. Ellen Reid's amazing voice and keys. Creative lead guitar parts. Killer bass lines. Mitch Dorge - amazing drummer. Loved this band to death. So psyched about the tour!!!

[@krombopoulosmichael]

well said!

[@narq5099]

Brad has written so many beautifully brilliant songs! So underrated. And Ellen's harmonies are supernatural!

Superman’s Song change to my life I think it’s one of the finest songs ever composed

[@rodrexrode]

I've just recently started checking out the dummies in 2024 and I think those are the best harmonies I've ever heard

Jesus! Nearly 30 years since the concert.

[@Admiral_John]

God Shuffled His Feet is an absolute masterpiece.

[@gregfreer9211]

God Shuffled His Feet is a hugely powerful album. It's rare you find an album where every track is fantastic.Well done CTD!

[@truthlifefishing1730]

Aside from a few scripturally incorrect lyrics, the song God Shuffled His Feet, has some spiritual depth.

[@m24djt8]

So Underrated. Unbelievable

[@milumav]

Agreed.

[@christinenoe6086]

Exceptional singer 🌈

[@heinmusic]

What a tight band they were. Such a rich, full-sounding live performance!

[@ThePhilman3906]

Never again, will someone write such obscure lyrics and make them work perfectly. This band is absolutely the most underrated.

[@jaredcurtis]

Swimming In Your Ocean is such an amazing song! Lush guitars, articulate bass, and beautiful harmonies.

[@felsner1]

Yeah... and great lyrics, too. Love it.

[@spiffy216]

always been a favorite of mine. I'm glad I found my way back to CTD. Oddly enough by Jeremy Renner covering mmm mmm mmm mmm

God shuffled his feet is one great underated álbum. Thanks for this vídeo

[@willritter4076]

I'd be honored if some classic 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES, If God Was One of Us by JOAN OSBORNE, and Long December by the COUNTING CROWS on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great 90s standards. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.

[@ophiolatreia93]

Eduardo Pires and an underrated song. Prob my favourite

[@ophiolatreia93]

Actually I think it was disappointing after Ghosts That Haunt Me.

I have listened to and/or watched this posting perhaps 75 to 80 times and I still can't get enough. CRD are my "go-to" band when I need "comfort music"...even the newer stuff that can be creepy. Thank you Brad Roberts:)

[@Michael-ds3bd]

Still the greatest album of all time, in my opinion.

[@LimerickOfficial]

Quite a big statement, but it is a very underrated amazing album without doubt, in my opinion.

[@jobsgarage]

When talent and grace go together, one can't help being won over. And yes I am talking about Ellen Reid.

[@robbellmusic]

Still listening in 2023!!😀 Hope they come back to the UK soon. Last years gig at Dover was fantastic!🤩

no tattoos no weird hair paint or style. simply raw talent.. class act

[@Hagg-o-tron]

@@spicykielbasa5305 I wouldn't mind being the child of Dan and Anthony. Sounds like a pretty great childhood to me. Blues and funk being played around the house at the least

[@naruto19covit77]

Simply Talent!!!! Good Times

[@Stormy4ya]

Maybe they also had to keep a sertain bed time.

[@jaeden2806]

While I agree they're raw talent there's a lot of people with those things that also have raw talent but there is a lot of people (mostly these days) that rely on those physical things for attention.

[@paultalbot4171]

this band were amazing...loved them growing up in the early years...many happy days with these....xxxxx

[@loganpalshook]

Their drummer is groovin!

He looks so tiny for such a thunderous voice. One of my favorite albums from that era.

[@joelwallenius2877]

If there is a god, I wish it would bless Brad. Because I'm so glad he wrote all these silly and genius songs about things unrelated to love. Thank you, Brad.

[@shaunkelly9860]

Just brilliant. Fantastic, haunting songs, and I've always been a little bit in love with Ellen Reid.

[@oscargeorge1]

I'm American, but our Canadian friends must be so proud of this band! They came off as the quirky Canadian band here in the U.S, but over the years, they've become timeless. And that Ellen Reid💗

[@aaronmanzo8898]

Beautiful voices. Brad sounds wonderful live!

[@bobbysherman5838]

His voice was so amazing. Recently I heard some current stuff by him and I'm absolutely thrilled to report that his voice has only gotten better with age. These guys were so underated and Never got the credit they should have. I haven't heard another band be able to tell stories with their songs the way these guys do. I mean. Really listen to them the mix of music with the great story being told and then on top of that those beautiful Harmony's the girls add to it. OMG. I get chills. I didn't truly appreciate them when they first came out. But hell I was like 12. But now that I'm 39 years old and am relistening to them I have a whole new appreciation for them.

[@Michael-ds3bd]

They sold over 10 million copies of this album, were nominated for 3 grammy awards and toured internationally for years. I can't agree they were under rated.

[@hawkeye1zero547]

Could not have said it better..... at 73!

[@Jivolt]

His voice is just as deep but now it’s more buttery smooth and absolutely hypnotic.

[@arnaudfrancois8114]

I agree with you 😊 About the band and about the différent ways we appreciate them (and others) when we were younger /nowdays 😊 Is my english correct ? 😁 👋

Phenomenal performance by a great band! They obviously did not have to record these songs in the studio. They sound so good live! Flawless music and vocals!

[@victorndsilva]

Da banda só conhecia a música Mmm mmm mmm. Tocava pelos anos 1995 1996 na rádio Cidade, em Recife, Pernambuco. E tocava muito pouco. A melodia e o refrão ficaram marcados na minha cabeça desde aquela época e não sabia o nome da música, só o refrão. Vim novamente escutar a música em 2019 em uma sugestão do Spotify e na hora lembrei da melodia e refrão que ficaram marcados. Essa versão ao vivo é bem melhor.

[@ScottyColoradoKid]

Bacchus. Thank You. I watch twice a month for years now, just to give me perspective on life! The highlights of all the comments are; we are all in love with Ellen, and nobody is holding up fucking smartphones; his baritone is the best ever (outside of opera) they are all smiling and really enjoying this; to all of you that continue to wonder what this song is about, it was the theme song for the movie 'The Flintstones' Damn whatever happened to real actual music with no Auto-Tune, synthisized backing tracks, Ect...You guys say you miss the 90s....I miss the 70s!!

[@jamesh1691]

When you learn songs, or especially write them yourself, and play them a lot the lyrics just kinda get imprinted. At least that's how it is for me

[@timothycicirella3393]

We're fortunate to have this recording when the band was at their peak. It really must have been recorded multi-track and mixed later since the sound is so accurate. I wonder if they ever realized after "God Shuffled His Feet" and "Ghosts That Haunt Me" what dreadful albums they made after that. At least we have this great performance to remember.
