A man that never saw a dry day of wit

[@immothep101]

And once more we can thank german public broadcasting for a high quality recording of a live performance

[@iyhgtyea8028]

Great vocals from spike with backing vox from two of the best singers in punk!

[@Best_Wrestling_Promos]

Drummer is a BEAST

[@kueby23]

Dave Raun from Lagwagon

[@TruthHides34]

spike is such an awesome singer

[@038483]

Maybe we are listening to a different spike...;(

[@HeyNowNow2]

every day I weep for how great this set is.

[@Rfk1966]

I’ve watched this far too many times.

[@ferretocious]

Have you ever gone to a show? I've seen them twice in Seattle and just bought tix since they'll be there again in September. It's one thing to see them in a stadium like this. But in a smaller venue? It's like you're listening to the greatest wedding band of all time LOL Like you're at a private party. They're sooooo fun! The one show I was at they even wandered around in the crowd during a break sipping cocktails and posing for pics. Such a great bunch of guys and their music is amazing!

[@halliecorwin-eb1hu]

​@@Rfk1966 same here, I really really enjoy watching and listening to this set.

[@adamrees400]

This is hands down their best line up

[@colorformswerefun]

I love the "with Joey Cape" banner. Lol

[@1401chan]

This next song is a cover!

[@invisiblepancake6002]

it was

[@wtfsalommy3250]

I'll eat every effen chickin in this place....cheers

[@fillil7515]

Whaaaaaaa....?!

[@spinhellblackoktober5409]

Almost all of them songs are cover

[@1401chan]

@@spinhellblackoktober5409 lol, I know. But if you've been to one of their concerts it's a running joke they do

[@Weadfreek]

How Spike isn't more famous is entirely beyond me...

[@ulfg4692]

Because the general audience prefere auto-tuned crapfest rather than actual talent.

[@denniswoycheshen]

@@ulfg4692 yeah but if it wasn't for them there wouldn't be us... with nothing to rebel against we are complacent, and complacency does not work within chaos. the universe is chaotic.

[@sebb9356]

Yeah. Absolute brilliant singer and frontman. Also the whole band performs really awesome in every way. Each musician for himself and altogether. This is more than the sum of its parts, but Spike totally takes it beyond measure. And they fucking kill.

[@038483]

@@ulfg4692 unfortunatly there is no real talent here either, just force fed up-tempo garbage.

[@TheSummitCove]

@@038483 well you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about

[@johnflushing9328]

This SLAPS! It definitely should be their live album.

[@MikeP2055]

Dave's stick mishap at 5:38 is astounding. He literally never misses a beat. It was so slick, I had to rewind it twice just to make sure he'd lost one. As a drummer, I'm blown away! He's one of my top three favorite punk rock drummers.

[@TOMM.E.COCKVOMIT666]

ABSOFUKKINLOOTLEY DOOD!!!!!!!! THAT NOFX / FAT WRECK GALLOPING DRUM BEAT WAS AROUND B4 NOFX AND FAT WRECK BUT THE BOYZ IN NOFX,LAGWAGON,STRUNG OUT,GOOD RIDDANCE,ETC..PURRRFECTED IT AND MADE IT THEIR TRADEMARK AND AFTER TRYIN 4 YEARZ TO GET IT DOWN I FINALLY GOT IT PRETTY DAMN CLOSE SADLY IM 50 THIS YEAR AND ONLY PLAY IN MUH BASEMENT,, BUT ANYHOOOO GREAT EYE AND GREAT CALL A THING ONLY A DRUMMER WOULD NOTICE ,,SKOL,🫵🏻🫶😵‍💫💨💨💨🥃🍻🖖🏻

[@paulytamale]

The camera operators are REALLY good at finding the cute german girls. CUTE GERMAN GIRLS!

[@MarceloSanjuan]

Wide angles and we would be looking towards a sea of blond goddesses (and random dudes)

[@MarceloSanjuan]

+paulytamale No need for those close-ups!

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

[@vladimirunydad]

thanks for posting this Jewel, Man, really appreciate it!! cheers!

[@Maurusioo]

The singer is fantastic!!

[@thebustermonkey]

Dave Raun!! best drummer of the genre everybody!

[@Craftyhermit]

Keep your applause prolonged and genuine.

[@STEMOSbruder]

really? i think brooks wackerman might be the best!

[@paddyDeeful]

he hits so hard too!

[@Westcoasttrendkill]

I think Josh Freese might have something to say about that.

[@TofuTehSurvivor]

Johnny Graves I approve of this statement.

[@crabboi6909]

this video is the first time I ever even heard of this band but I immediately fell in love with the sound especially with Joey Cape and Fat Mike

[@ferretocious]

I've seen them twice live in clubs in Seattle and going to see them again in September. DEFINITELY go see them if you ever get the chance to!

[@martech360]

Man can that dude sing or what...sick voice

[@LaGamyne]

I just saw their show in Montreal this weekend ! Lot of Joy and fun with this awesome group 🤘🏼

[@DrGodinho]

dave flawlessly recovers from losing a drumstick at 5:38

[@phl33p92]

Ive never seen a band control a show so well.

[@paulytamale]

Their "Stairway to Heaven" with the intentional fuck-ups sounds better than most of the actual Led Zeppelin live versions of the song.

[@felixpatete]

I think it's cuz he only sings covers, the only original songs I know are from the voltas

[@RobRuDeeDumB]

This always lifts me up when things go shitty. My dog just tore her acl and is crippled. We are both enjoying chillin out to this sweet music until the surgery and long recovery.

[@boofert.washington2499]

How's you dog these days?

[@justinx590]

Yeah how are both of you? I love you

[@tomh6588]

Why's your dog not returning my calls?

[@junypxpx]

I've watched this video like 10 times and I always enjoy the songs, dang! these guys are way too awesome, I really like starway to heaven, also Fat Mike is hilarious lol

[@meandmyguitars]

Which one is Fat Mike?

[@halliecorwin-eb1hu]

​@@meandmyguitars bass player, wearing the white sunglasses

[@emersontorrey1809]

Probably the best live show ever. wow

[@niekolas]

Best Stairway to Heaven intro ever!

[@unadulterated]

Starring Joey Cape

[@Quiznosbeef]

By far my favorite cover band. I love Fat Mike of Nofx, he plays a great bass guitar.

[@nathanhubbard7591]

I agree Martech... he can belt the tunes!! Sick voice, especially when doing the soft ballad... Love the punk rock versions of these songs tho, and they have so many more that rock too... Awesome band and energy!! Kind of an "in your face" type of vibe when on stage from these guys

[@mnixon143]

This is an amazing performance.

[@averyzirulnik9471]

love these cover songs by this band, me, me, me first...

[@annasimone25]

I've been listening to their albums for nearly 20 years but have never seen live footage of them...up until now...and I don't know what to think. lol \m/

[@PunkStevo7]

you never pictured them in matching hawaiian shirts?

[@thedave1674]

I saw them in 97....they put on a very energetic show

[@nicholasdunlap2275]

I'm still wanting to see Johnny's Bar Mitzvah.

[@tobiasweber5637]

after tinnitus hit me hard, this was one of few audios I listened to on very low volume while walking my ass off against the insanity of a tinnitus that is VERY loud and constant .... I love all of the boys

[@TheQxx]

The world's most covered band.

[@oddduck2298]

Seeing these guys on stage reminds me of the Punk in Drublic show in Mesa this past weekend. It was incredible seeing three founding members on stage!

[@urbaninstinkttzxhc]

Great cover band !!! :) Sou happy and pozitive !

[@hangindownrange6061]

Best Me First video I've seen on KZbin

[@ばぶ党公認候補波野イクラ]

甲斐バンドのカバーとか熱すぎるわ😊

[@ZachariasLeche]

My brother, Ben, would have loved this show and all these covers. He'd be rocking in the pit with his bomber jacket with all the buttons, with his shaved head plus the front that was dyed "LAKE MICHIGAN" blue, and just having a good time with everyone. Every time I watch this I think of him. :-)

[@ranman1959]

This is just ridiculously entertaining to an old punk rocker like myself!

[@GetToBeddington]

This is really well recorded.

[@pier35bng]

+Deveroth ahahahahahahaahahah

[@treza133]

still watching this over and over till now.

[@jaizarulrohayu44]

What song is that?

[@apazcarlos]

The singer is so good.

[@rangerackerman9998]

Greatest band ever period.

[@fabricioj.aguirre2007]

There was a time when I was In a hurry as you are I was like you There was a day when I just Had to say my point of view I was like you But I don't mean to make you frown No, I just want you to put you down Six feet down In the ground Have you never been mellow? Have you never tried Just to get some comfort up inside? Have you never been happy? Just to hear you're wrong Have you never let someone else be strong? Running around as you do With your head up in the clouds I was like you Never had time to lay back Shoot some high drugs, think again I was like you But you're not hard to understand You need someone to show you're glam Have you never been mellow? Have you never tried Just to get some comfort up inside? Have you never been happy Just to hear you're wrong? Have you never let someone else be strong?

[@laseng-q3i]

making good song better is their business - hell yeah, these dudes kick so much ass

[@netocavalcanti]

Thanks a lot for upload this concert.

[@colingarland4787]

Back in 94, some band called Doc Hopper covered "Come Sail Away" like this but probably better. They opened for my band, opening and closing their set with it. To be honest, it's hard to follow up whiplash Styx with a jam band. I hold no grudges. They ruled.

[@dyonn0610]

Amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@baccy81]

This is the best rock band of the 2000s, without any doubt

[@jaspersiemek902]

These look like they put on a good concert,, I would like to see them

[@pr9039]

Best cover band? Nah. Best goddamn tribute band. These guys are the best tribute band of the 1950s-20xxs.

[@edzeljereza8234]

The Olivia Newton-John Austria joke swooshed over the heads of this crowd....love the humor of this band.

[@danieledei2716]

the best punk rock singer whit out sang twice in the same song.

[@canalbikeguy]

Alright, this song's a cover. This song's awesome.

"This video previously contained a copyrighted audio track. Due to a claim by a copyright holder, the audio track has been muted." I started watching the video on Thursday and everything was alright but since then, someone pulled the plug, I guess. I do encourage anyone to buy a few albums from Me First and The Gimme Gimmes. Much of their stuff is pretty great.

[@harianyribasarq]

[@lpukas]

[@luckyskin09]
