[@downvotingistherapeutic4100]

Bob Pollard is the alchoholic uncle I always wanted

[@ultrakool]

um..know you haven't. good entertainment makes not, for good relatives. it's been proven.. jus'sayin, so sorry

[@geraldelisha710]

I realize I am kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?

[@geraldelisha710]

@Crew River thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!

[@crewriver7956]

@Gerald Elisha no problem xD

[@germanmatiasok]

@@ultrakool Why is that?

[@straightcashhomey1261]

The most criminally underrated rock band of all time

[@VioletGrey]

I showed up late to the GBV party but I want to thank all you guys and gals for holding a spot at the table for me. :)

[@ACustomConcern]

Seconded.

[@Om_Tare]

no such thing as too late to this party

[@Adrianovaz2007]

the club is always open :)

[@PaulSalamoneComedy]

Report to the front of the stage for your complimentary cup of beer :)

[@flatsixx]

There’s always room on the bottom. HOTTT FFFRRRREEEAAAAAKKKKKSSS!!!!

[@cobyutterback]

these three songs encompass incredibly good song writing.

[@markeggins890]

Oh yeah, last one sounds like a song the Who have wanted to write but haven't been able for years...

[@HiddenRealmsTV]

2:10 "Erthersongbeethousagodetheregoestheregoesmyron"

[@SpookyApparition]

hahaha... awesome.

[@sauercrowder]

literally happened right as i started reading this

[@benromanhatesyou]

Tezza Tazza I can't stop laughing

[@Hornwiesel]

Fucking lol

[@spaceengineer1452]

haha ! In Australia (where I live) There was a band called schooneranewthanksyvonneta. Schooner is a beer, "New" is a brand of beer.

[@bucketsz]

Damn, these are some of the best versions of these songs ever. Who knew a sober GBV could rock?

[@markeggins890]

Dunno why there are some many Kevin haters, sure he isn't the greatest drummer ever but I reckon he fits in well here, and he is giving all he has, that's fine in my book.

[@tomdonahue4224]

People in Norway wonder how a guy from Dayton OH has a British accent and looks like Bill Clinton.

[@randommusings1302]

Time travelling Morrissey at 6:09 digging the shit out of Motor away. Really hits it home for him.

[@TheCoronado3]

time travelling thurston moore singing at 2:50

[@chrisodriscoll9800]

Oh God I was waiting for it after reading your comment... And that dude delivered!!

[@nicolasmrn]

@@TheCoronado3 Looks more like Beck.

[@nicolasmrn]

Looks more like Jim Carrey

[@mr.e...]

How fun it must be to be a member of Guided by Voices...

[@Slapbass13]

What wouldn't I give for these guys to come to the UK.. Fucking hell, what a set!

[@undreadSP]

"Motor Away" was my first of innumerable GbV faves!

[@stonedcomedianringo]

3 killer tunes in the amount of time it take U2 to bang out one bloated hit

[@CristhianRodriguez84]

GBV = True energy and Rock passion

[@mattisprettycool]

...this is Guided by Voices in it's truest form.

[@RHINOSAUR]

I think Bob pulled a hamstring with that little dance and kick he did. lol Seriously though... one of the best bands ever in any genre or era.

[@loversrockpaper]

the music keeps you young...these guys still sound as on par (if not better) than they did on alien lanes. really amazing, live and on record. truly legends of lo-fi.

[@TheErikrust]

Bar none, one of the BEST bands you will ever see live. And Goddamn, it’s the band that will make you buy an extra beer. Cheers.

[@backcombed2559]

Look at the pain on the drummer and guitarist to deliver sheer and unbridaled perfection to us xx

[@guitarkat99]

NICE! Good to see the 'classic' lineup kicking it out again. I saw them about 7 times in the early 2000's with Gillard and Farley on guitars... they were always incredible. Some of the best beer-soaked rock shows I've ever seen :))

[@cheerlesspain]

This is the greatest song in the world, bar none.

[@cheerlesspain]

Echoes Myron.

[@cheerlesspain]

To each their own... I bless the day my pal Queenie (yeah, that's short for "Queen of Cans and Jars") sent me that GBV mixtape.

[@RhythmMakesGames]

this is my fav song. makes me feel so grey.

[@souljubilant12]

man their tight as ever!! awesome show....thanks for the upload

[@gaobest]

So amazing that this was filmed for broadcast! Wish there were other GbV shows of similar multi camera quality... thanks for uploading all the broadcast; this trio is my favorite from this gig.

[@ALDOSIVIToN]

evening car trip+ earphone+ GBV =❤

[@edan305]

I've never asked for the truth but you owe that to me!

[@skulleton]

Yea, it was the same for me. Then one night in high school I listened to the album Bee Thousand in it's entirety...four times. Since then they've been my favorite band.

[@PappyHab]

Majestic!!! Seeing them in 2 weeks at Ottawa Bluesfest!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DanaMedic77]

That's the same album that started me on the path of GBV fandom. I saw them in Columbus during the reunion tour and it was the best show of my life!

[@juliadeetruchsess]

Epic performance of Motor Away

[@brianpietrowicz2390]

Jeg elsker GBV!!!!

[@KitCalder]

man the norwegians really know their shit

[@robertoambrogio2399]

Mitici!! Visti ad Adelaide nel 2000. Paura. Unici!!

[@brownbomberproducts]

Damn they sound good! These guys are just amazing, the last time I saw them was at the Austin City Limits show.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Did Nate Farley borrow your baby?

[@techdeathology]

Rock & Roll perfection.

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

Best voice

[@toddlash4782]

Game of Pricks is one of Robert's best songs and one of the greatest poems in rock history. So crazy good and it takes nothing away from Myron. Such a beautiful time in music and I'm so lucky to have seen them multiple times during this era. I'll always say that Tobin's work was under valued. He added a completely different sensibility.

[@Goo96wzlp]

Awesome. GBV, GBV, GBV...

[@philmcm2]

What a band! Bob is Bob is Bob - there is no other. x

[@SmallvillenerdTwo]

Best version of Game of Pricks. It's so fast and tight.

[@tomjh55]

come to the UK! please!

[@SpookyApparition]

6:16 "MITCH!"

[@nathanverni9143]

gotta love a band that can play the same song 3 times in a row and it only takes 7 minutes

[@zumbrella81]

God, what a voice.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Join the GBV community on Facebook. The group is called GUIDED BY VOICES. Bob and Rockathon post right to the group too. THE CURRENT LINEUP OF GBV IS THE BEST YET! Check out Earth Man Blues, Surrender Your Poppy Fields, Styles We Paid For…This band is shit hot! Join us

[@IStandAlone1]

Lol at guy just hanging out on stage drinking a beer.

[@pauloppliger]

Damn good...

[@sloppy_hand]

classic line-up!

[@LeParesseuxDiffuseur]

GBV, GBV !

[@jdoncbus]

used to work the door for these guys in the early 90s when they'd play Cbus. Never liked them then....now I can't get enough LOL. Stupid me.

[@jpbeijing]

My goodness, this is damn good shit! *monocle flies off*

[@robgarfield87]

Why can't they show Tobin?

[@toddlash4782]

Tobin was and is so under appreciated. His unassuming nature gave way to Bobs giant personality, but Tobin's foil absolutely sets off Bob's genius in a way that is so important.

[@crappybassist96]

@ultramouse He's the John Entwistle of this band. Can't get the damn cameras on him because Mitch is windmilling and Bob's hoppin' around and Greg looks so damn silly in those pants!

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Greg looks like he decided to go with his rock and roll fantasy and commit to that outfit. It’s ridiculous and great at the same time. He even looks like he had his hair styled and not just cut. That’s not a Northridge barber cut. Demos is the shit though. Split pants and all

[@wowitsjosh5]

Right when the drums came in they all dragged like crazy. It's impossible to stay on tempo (especially when you play live) but that was disgustingly noticeable,

[@bif3578]

Okay ringo...

[@mattaki]

goddamn yes.

[@juliadeetruchsess]

Bob in his fifties looking better than ever!

[@marchi.fleming]

The bass player's wife was my niece's 1st grade teacher 😁🥰

[@Schenectadont]

I kind of love hearing Bob gradually drop his English singing accent when he talks. It's like I'marockstarI'marockstarI'marockstarnononoI'mjustaguyfromOhio.

[@lucybrb]

F yes!

[@CVR306]

Maravilloso... 🔥🔥🤡

[@three-stripes]

I think he's the sexiest voice in rock. period.

[@breadrollboy]

@m1chbeck yeah would seem to be, although he gets a strangely measly amount of camera time!

[@SiliconMolybdenumNitrogen]

@thediscerningviewer whole concert is on the FB page of Robert Pollard..it's fucking shit hot

[@sugararmor8]

🐐🐐🐐

[@MrLogical79]

Pollard is just great.

[@oscartravis5740]

Greg Demos quit the band to practice law, I imagine him just like Jimmy McGill off Better Call Saul

[@galleryofrogues]

I see where Motion City Soundtrack got a lot of their sound

[@acrovader]

Tobin Sprout!

[@tomcarpenter6686]

The coolist bass player ever!

[@stonedcomedianringo]

I also like the crashed UFO at 3:09

"Ive cheated so long, I wonder how you keep track of me"

[@567dirt8910]

we'll climb up on the house - weep and water the trees...

[@ToolsnFire]

Only listen to early U2 then, 1980-81, maybe to 83, but that's it.

[@diobrando0146]

2019

[@furkancapar349]

Yes bro. Hi from Turkey

[@420Pikachu]

DIO!!! 😡😡😡

[@7hurtu]

Anyone else notice the drum situation a the beginning of Echos Myron?

[@SiliconMolybdenumNitrogen]

The slider gunn ah you notice too ? Been watching this concert since 2012 on You Tube. He fucks it up..and you see Mitch turn slowly and look

[@Go_EZ-ier_On_Us_And_Enjoy]

That is a nice catch there - and didn't notice it until now.....it happens. 🤟

[@thediscerningviewer]

This is the most baddass GOP I have ever heard! And then Echoes! And Motor Away!! Seriously....

[@nicolasmrn]

6:10 glad to see that jim carrey is a gbv fan

[@kidkilowatt]

Anyone else notice the 1,2,3,4 count in in German at 5:10?

[@faunoram]

european tour european beer !!

[@MrDanty64]

Right F'n in back of you TruthSmack! I did a GBV show in SF (2/26/06) after a move job in steel toed boots and did a bottle of gin on top of a couple of beers and got right up on top of the amp to stage left and just kept wailing "Bee Thousand" and somehow it even ended up on another page...But WTF! Maturity is Boring, as I say...of course my "minister" of a brother (very stern) didn't look too happy on me but ...

[@syunusk]

Sweet. How old are they? 100? Still kickin' ass... GBV rules!!!

[@absolutelynonameslef]

Cameraman must've had a grudge against Mr. Sprout...

[@SpookyApparition]

@monkeygonetoheavensi hey, where's that at? i'm on bob's FB page and not seeing any footage

[@chuckabbate6650]

i heard you like the rock.

[@izwanhelmi2406]

2018?

[@SpookyApparition]

After seeing them on their current tour... man, Kevin March is like twice the drummer as Fennell. I'm really glad they got him back. Sometimes the drumming in this video is pretty bad.

[@PappyHab]

I have seen them twice, once in late 2001 and about a month ago. March was the drummer both times and ya he is good.

[@barehandkiller]

Pollard surrounded by mortals and it shows

[@brannonmcclure6970]

I know it. GbV.

[@ultramouse]

I hear Tobin, but I don't see him...

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

3:58 just a peak

[@SiliconMolybdenumNitrogen]

Who the FUCK gave this a dislike ?!

[@robertmcmanus9185]

This is the one band I haven't seen that I must see. If Paul McCartney was from this era, he'd be in the band. It might have even been better. Or not.

[@EarlyLAPunk]

Who are his band? Lineup?

[@RichardCorral]

look at all those geezers

[@chrisodriscoll9800]

Fuck they look like the pub band that just won't quit who actually made it and made sweet music to boot

[@nicolasmrn]

2:41

[@thediscerningviewer]

And Thurston Moore is in the crowd and he's only 14, how did that happen? ! Space and Time Travelling UFOs

[@BlakeBlackstone]

:')

[@ultrakool]

looks like the vikings are fans. btw, me loves striped/vintage pants. bring 'em back i say

[@TheShagDiesel]

@stonedcomedianringo U2 has hits? Now, that's some shit.

[@JohnWilliams-ny3fi]

Norwegians know what's up

[@xwhite2020]

what is the name of the guitarist here (not Tobin)? please be gentle I'm new to this band.

[@absolutelynonameslef]

Mitch Mitchell

[@jakesommer3914]
