Eels - Novocaine for the soul (Pinkpop 1997)

[@pcassienz]

One of the greatest bands ever in my books. Lyrical genius and great musicians as well. So many songs about life and emotions we can all relate to.

[@tweakradje]

Amazing what a brilliant performance you get from a guitar, a bass and percussion when creative people come together. Those were the days of Eels for me. Let it be inspiration for musicians to come.

[@tannerannichiarico7255]

Granted that seems to be one of the most talented "drummers" of all time lol holy shit I never knew...

[@dpaul428]

Shoutout to Elmo playing accurate air drums at 2:14

[@josephgoodrow3804]

what a fantastic drummer.

[@erikspierenburg368]

Butch

[@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet]

saw them in 1997. they destroyed the concert by playing drums, all of them, for 16 minutes straight in the end. most of the crowd left.

[@thepeopleinthetrees]

badass live version of this song, I'd be going nuts

[@MultiBazilbrush]

Great band & nice to see their still going making great albums in 2020.

[@chupacabra4897]

I want the 90s back 😭😭😭 . Best days of my life 😢. Come back

[@pieter2133]

Monday 11 am, Nada surf kicked off that day on the North stage. Silverchair on the South stage. Great weekend, great bands and Eels rocks

[@TheTheAwkward]

It's actually a Mosrite copy. The awesome "Univox Hi-Flier" is phase 4 model from the late seventies. My dad had two. They sound amazing!!! Kurt Cobain was known for using these guitars.

[@grgapitic2346]

I miss 90s so much

[@larryhurley2314]

I do too. It was such a great time. Nobody cares what the other done and everything was pretty much accepted. And our music and music festivals were undescribable. People that didn't live it just won't understand how special the 90's were.

[@Blackburstgenerator]

It's not a Mosrite, It's a Univox 'Hi-Flyer'. That me handing E the guitar. I was his guitar tech for all these early tours. E had a bunch of these guitars. They sounded amazing with his old Fender amp. I found the 'E' sticker for it and re-labeled his fender amp,'Fucker'. I bought a yellow Hi-Flyer that E used for a while from him in 99 and used it on some Farflung recordings. GREAT guitars...too bad Kurt Cobain made a habit of making them into kindling..

[@stuartcarswell2815]

What a band..must have been a trip seeing/hearing them every night whilst working

[@MagnumBoy50cal]

what have happened between Tommy and E? what's your opinion as an eyewitness?

[@Blackburstgenerator]

@@MagnumBoy50cal well, I'd never divulge gory details ('what happens on tour, stays on tour') but I think overall, Tommy wanted more input on things. He's a super talented musician and songwriter on his own so it probably worked out best for all parties.

[@MagnumBoy50cal]

@@Blackburstgenerator thanks for the answer... you're damn lucky to spent time with E, Tommy and Butch...

[@ٴٴٴٴٴٴٴر]

Do you remember what pedals e is using here?

[@AndieBlack182]

I absolutely LOVE this band

[@pxhumungus]

E for presidet ! o m g, what a performance, i always loved this song !!!

[@TheTheAwkward]

Awesome! E's white guitar is a Univox Hi-flier phase 4. A Mosrite copy from the 70's.

[@jeremyjackson9388]

My how I miss the 90s

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Life is good....and I feel great...

[@subzerodeluxe]

Incredible, amazing ...

[@trebsnomis]

[@paulelliott3220]

[@pltopper771]

[@thelivinged]

[@kirkwatson1442]

Silence,before full volume, great

[@cjmiller3302]

When they performed at top of the pop It used the studio version on the song we heard on Spotify

[@MagnumBoy50cal]

Butch is just something, what a one man orchestra

[@paulelliott3220]

That's the mighty Butch on those awesome drums Love this and the first iteration of Eels E - such genius and sporting a funky 'tache

[@jurgenbussche]

i was there epic show , with morphine and placebo the top 3 of pinkpop 97

[@robstable3224]

That is a lot of noise for 3 guys and it is awesome 🤘

[@FairyCRat]

Butch is one of the few drummers I know about who don't use drumsticks during about half of their sets.

[@gastonetom]

Yes! Massive

[@xdefect]

Hey that's me in the audience at 2:14. 16,5 years ago.

[@blisstonia]

which one?

[@lillyrocks2011]

That's cool!

[@robertmaybeth3434]

poor mark everett no tour dates! The thwarted genius, with one tragedy after another in his life. The best song besides this is "DREAMS", and you know all the songs mean something whatever you think of them. He is one of the few people in music i actually think about at times. Like as a real person.

[@CatastrophicG]

Same!

[@smeagol9693]

Such a sloppy but amazing performance

[@FLAVCO]

the dude's an effing genius!! HANDS DOWN!!

[@johnadamson210]

Love this.

[@darrencodd8798]

Amazing

[@Eiight8]

I was there 🤘

[@OhanaFilms]

What a fucking amazing decade!

[@johnwalsh128]

I'm on a train to see them in Manchester right now.

[@gingerjesus2721]

I'm trying to grasp what I just saw. That was awesome

[@summerday3674]

One Love 👍👍👍

[@mrnoble5475]

Wait, 0:07 that looks like lollipop! What snare playing technique at 0:50 is that?

[@kirkwatson1442]

Pain feels...good❤

[@TurbojugendWismar]

was für ein lahmarschiges Publikum... wenn die Aufnahmen stimmen sollten!

[@kirkwatson1442]

The 90s, fing great

[@RastaSaiyaman]

@MrJohnCassady No it isn't it's a Univox Hi-flyer, you can tell by the pickups and the tailpiece.

[@tadlee4928]

This is sick )

[@dexterjones8646]

drummer is cool, seems like a peyote induced wiseman

[@stupidnicks]

anyone has an idea what this guiar is? awesome!

[@gerauldvellabrincat6241]

Another band that belongs in the same bracket as'The only band that matters'

[@MusicByTheMoon]

Wow, that must have been a really great job! If you don't mind me asking, what fender amp and distortion pedals did he use? I'm presuming he is using a distortion pedal, he might be switching amps though.

[@Blackburstgenerator]

Can't recall the exact Fender amp, maybe a Bassman. It was old.. I remember E telling me that it had been hot rodded with some different tubes. He used an older green Big Muff and a Sansamp pedal as well.

[@TheIncredibleHulk97]

How badass is E?

[@MauroRamosMorel]

Lo qué regaló al patrimonio de la humanidad 🙏

[@cvs84]

Mr. E is so cool... he could really use a shower though!

[@riesbeatz4835]

No mobile phone

[@Minnesnowmann]
