Just saw these guys at Summerfest they were the best band that day.

[@rgruber88]

Great video. On the big TV, I feel like I'm there. Thanx for posting. Actually got to see them this past summer for the first time.

[@room1106]

It was a wondrous night. Thank you for sharing this.

[@vernixx]

I've watched this about 50 or more fucking times. I'm here to watch it yet again. Greatest fucking encore ever. I see you, Matthew Cutta!

[@napndash]

Love the drumming btw

[@alaskatoburningmen4549]

Great, great stuff !! Thanks !! Anyone else get the impression they are playing the old stuff slower than the album versions? Especially noticable on "I am a Tree" but maybe also on "Tractor" and "Gold Star "....anyway, tighter than ever !!

[@SpookyApparition]

they're definitely playing those songs a lot slower. this version of Tractor Rape Chain is about 15 seconds longer than the version that the classic lineup played (yes, I'm a dork so I checked several live videos). the current band is probably the best lineup GBV has ever had, but this song is definitely missing some of the classic lineup energy.

[@sterbus79]

@@SpookyApparition But check them doing "Cut-out witch" !

[@dougsmith7083]

Yes! Reminds me of the last couple of Replacements albums that were unbelievably well played and, hella tight but...kinda Teflon [tm]. This band is crazy good but they should "relax" a little bit because they are good enough to be tight and dynamic and, a bit of recklessness included but still be tight and powerful. Obvious comparison 1966-1968 WHO. Check out the HIGH NUMBERS at the Railway to get what I mean kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZLbkpx3n81gqJI

[@RHINOSAUR]

The absolute coolest old man band ever.

[@zimmats]

This completely rules. So tight.

[@KikoJonesUSA]

This encore is better than most bands' full sets. Damn!

[@christophercasey6775]

Scary, isn't it?

[@Chris-yj2di]

I'd give anything to drum for GBV, even for just one show.

[@simohovari6560]

I'd too to play bass or rhythm guitar

[@ericclaptop6304]

we can just like, write our own songs though

[@ericclaptop6304]

@@simohovari6560 play with me, yo! I write like this too

[@wisedog99]

Kevin rawkin out......

[@dougtroughton3894]

So pissed- i thought the show was thursday. Ate my stub.

[@wakeoftheflood2]

I did that last time tobin sprout came to town. the day after I was like holy fuck I missed the show

[@Go_EZ-ier_On_Us_And_Enjoy]

Stub Hub must've been pissed. 😱 😄 🤘

[@realMARTINart]

robert pollard is the charming man

[@napndash]

Sounds tight

[@room1106]

I got this from right in front of the stage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp7afoGOpt-jppI

[@jonathanwallace9906]

Thanks for this excellent video. More proof this is best live GBV lineup there has been. Could even prove to be the best lineup full stop; the new albums rule.

[@simpsonsfiend75]

Also, what's awesome is that since you've posted this, Zeppelin Over China and Warp and Woof have been released. 2 more excellent albums, loaded with great songs and hooks. And apparently another new album, Sweating the Plague, is being released in about a month. Nuts.

[@jeffmelchior8573]

simpsonsfiend75 And another one since then (Surrender Your Poppy Fields) and it’s great too. This lineup is on fire.

[@dallasol]

And another (Mirrored Aztec) 🤣

[@Go_EZ-ier_On_Us_And_Enjoy]

Bob and GBV 👉 Still the GOAT 🐐 after all this thyme. Finally saw them live in the flesh this year (!!) - so fantastic - go enjoy the goodness if you can! 🤘🌝🤘 Crank it up people! 🤘

[@BlakeBlackstone]

That guys' finger in the front must be very tired.

[@chopstickpizza]

Bobby Bare Jr. is stoked!

[@JustinWhyte]

Amp on 11, BB Jr on 15.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

7:00 I can practically hear John Lennon harmonizing with Bob

[@vivalapsych]

I was there too. Thanks so much for uploading. I was loving it!

[@cvp1969]

I remember that hot minute they were getting airplay on Mix 106 here in Baltimore because they got that song on Scrubs. At the time I didn’t know about the Scrubs thing, and I was at work and hear the DJ say Guided By Voices.. I was like. WTF?? But this was very short lived.

[@davontewaltonaldo3347]

That's pretty neat! Ironmen got some play when it came out on 99.1 hfs and just last year I heard Teenage fbi on 89.7, I think that's a small towson atation

[@bookboy7007]

Strangely enough Guided by Voices are anything But short lived as a whole.

[@joekilbourne2242]

This is fantastic! Great sound too. Just love every iteration of this band and try to see them whenever they are in the PNW...thanks!

[@PJownsyoursoul]

Best encore of all time!

[@net8floz]

Where's the not encore?

[@JustinWhyte]

My hands would have gone numb if I held my phone like that for the entire show.

[@nicf1555]

You have the steadiest hands on the planet my man

[@eddieangelmonroy]

[@eatthem5829]
