Fountains of Wayne - Sink to the Bottom + Radiation Vibe + Leave the Biker [1997]

[@RodrigoVazquez91]

Considering the age of the recording, the sound quality of this footage is actually pretty impressive

[@ababilashari9970]

considering that they have multiple cameras they might have been very careful recording this footage, most likely this is a soundboard recording fed directly to a simple tape machine. And yeah, its really hit or miss so kudos on who was operating that stuff for this recording

[@underneonloneliness2]

Sound engineers should learn from this because many recordings nowadays are awful

Their debut album was one of those rare releases from a band where every track was solid. I damn near wore out the CD. RIP Adam.

[@ramsessingeling8405]

This is so good. Today is just a very sad day. RIP Adam..

[@m18gmc15]

You guys have a fan in turkey Sleep well adam 😢

[@Warpdrive2233]

I bought this album and all my friends were saying, "What's this rubbish?!" A week later after the CD had never left the player in my car, my friends were kissing my feet!

[@raymonwhite3340]

Radiation Vibe was the first tune I heard by FoW. Started a love affair that continues to this day. Miss you Adam...

[@moptop63]

Same here 😉.

[@wanbaclone]

Same. Heard Radiation Vibe on the radio and have loved them ever since.

[@ihavesoul4real]

This is from the HBO series "Reverb" in case anyone else was curious. I loved that show and discovered a few bands from it back in High School.

[@30152708]

And yet, they were nominated for "Best New Artist" seven years later.

I love that they always cut to the drummer for the “shine on shine on” part-the way God intended

Hey, thanks for all of this. This is my new favorite channel. I was 13 in 1996 and sneaking back downstairs most nights to watch bands on conan and 120 minutes. Glad to see some stuff again and many other clips for the first time. More please!

[@whatsforafters7843]

Dave Paulson I'm glad you've been enjoying these clips, and that they bring back good memories. As I go through my tapes, I'm also enjoying things I haven't seen in years! Thanks for dropping by and sharing that note of appreciation, and there are more songs and footage in store, as the weeks and months go by :)

[@pablopicazos]

13 in 96.. I was 6. This music is still amazing.

[@patriciarodriguez6028]

love FoW - being in California, didn't have many chances to see them live since they rarely played here. very cool to see these live shows. thanks for posting

[@whatsforafters7843]

You're quite welcome! Happy to see that you enjoyed it, as you took the time to post your thoughts and appreciation. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look, and letting me know you liked what you saw & heard. :)

[@ttaboy]

Johnathan Byers is crushing it on guitar

[@OldSchoolRedHillSalukisPodcast]

Cameras always seem to catch Adam the least in these performances which is probably how he preferred, but I am always wanting to shake the director and let him know that this is Adam’s band. He is the genius behind all of this.

[@rooctherooc2418]

Didn’t Chris write most of these songs?

[@alexkeaton3881]

@@rooctherooc2418 Adam seems to have written more, but Chris's participation is no less significant! Generally speaking, they personally divided the rights to the first album equally

[@magroves]

I miss you already, Adam.

[@tutsybassista]

RIP 💔

[@Momointvland]

What is the 90's music video playing at the very last 5 seconds after FOW live footage? I don't think it's Sebadoh.

[@redstep-child3096]

Chicago as well.

[@eeverpauldeleon8114]

WHAT IS THE SONG AT 10:10 ?

[@redstep-child3096]

Adam.

[@tutsybassista]

Not another bassist! 😭

[@davidhealy4534]

And Tony Soprano used it😂

[@jaybee9269]

Gotta wonder what that dude is doing with the bass. Generally one doesn’t strum a bass…

[@xxlplldlq1307]

Mate, that's Adam Schlesinger.
