GBV is a different definition of brilliance.

[@justl0ew437]

I discovered this song yesterday and i‘m not exaggerating when i say that this is one of favorites 🙏❤️

[@sinceunati]

Wow. It's a classic. I'm from Cincinnati. About 30min or so from Dayton. GBV is in a lot of our DNA around these parts.

[@mattlane5643]

I also heard this song for the first time this year and couldn't agree more.

[@matthewsommerville88]

From Joyce manor?

[@Samotbackwards]

I've been listening to this song since middle schools, always pulled me through tough times.

[@conortaft2039]

God I love this. Pure power chord magic.

[@Rikit93]

Exactly

[@BigBagofHorses]

My all time favorite song. A perfect 2 minutes.

[@PaulSalamoneComedy]

The cooler onstage / passing beers out to the crowd is my favorite rock move EVER. Amazing seeing them live

[@stockmanager]

lol part time bartender

[@lazyhomebody1356]

I've seen them tons of times, seen the cooler...they never gave US any beer :(

[@blurritt]

They had a blue and white cooler in Vancouver at the Starfish Room. It was full of bottles of Budweiser. I bought Bob a Bud, and made a pirate hat for it out of a napkin. I wrote the request, "Play Little Whirl" on the napkin and I drew a whirl. I didn't know it was a Tobin Sprout song though and he never played it or drank the beer I gave him.

[@alisonmcsecret]

I love that during Pollards Superbowl half time show moment he's drunk.

[@cholasimmons]

To think I found this song by Googling what song was playing in the IT Crowd while Richmond was getting it! that script is out of this world💓

I did the same thing, best show ever, and I love this song

Such a cool song. Wish it was longer.

[@robmiller7466]

But that's the deal and the good songs are short that's why they're good and that's why they're special man he got to understand that don't you get your answer is longer cuz it's good then be good would it

[@cropman]

idk about you but this song is the perfect length

It's ok guys , it's really just a compliment to the band for creating it.

Game of Pricks lyrics I've waited too long to have you Hide in the back of me I've cheated so long I wonder How you keep track of me You could never be strong You can only be free And I never asked for the truth But you owe that to me I entered the game of pricks With knives in the back of me Can't call you or on you no more When they're attacking me I'll climb up on the house Weep to water the trees And when you come calling me down I'll put on my disease You could never be strong You can only be free And I never asked for the truth But you owe that to me

[@ОляПолякова-х4с]

Super!!!!

[@dougsmith7083]

Nice to see that Bob is back on the "Two Tub" stage setup again and, that he made sure that ACL had him sorted! New band is outstanding. I was super fortunate to have seen GBV live multiple times in the 90s and through the "classic lineup" reunion in the early 2010's. I am a HUGE Mitch/Tobin fan. However, I have to say that THIS lineup (once Bob came to his senses and brought Gillard back after a very brief time without the brilliance of Mr Doug Gillard) I gotta say that THIS band is the very BEST lineup of GBV I have ever witnessed. They may be a bit "slick/pro/reliable/sober" but the live shows are PHENOMENAL. I think that THIS live performance is proof of the smokin band kickin out a killer version of an older, classic, fan favourite and, keeping it fresh and exciting

[@jackjude]

Good, I want to hear a long time fan's opinion on this; I was wondering how this stood up, as their have been so many iterations of GMV over the band's long life.

this performance is from 2004

I wish Guided By Voices weren't allergic to Florida. Dude's just tour the same 5 states.

[@RoyalChant]

bit of a rando question, but when was this filmed, and who is that guitarist who hops to the front of the audience at the beginning of the song? Just trying to piece together the GBV lineups a bit over the years and he's not in the current 2023 lineup, correct? Or no?

[@ismaeltapia1636]

This was filmed during the Half Smiles of the Decomposed tour. The guitarist is Nate Farley, bassist is Chris Slusarenko. Kevin March (drummer) and Doug Gillard (lead guitar) are still in the current lineup. This was just before Bob Pollard broke up the band.
