Hum live 1998-04-25 Penn State University (1st gen VHS transfer)

If any of y'all have cassettes, CDRs, VHS tapes or DVDs of Hum, let me know. I'd love to transfer them and get them online so we can all enjoy! fogelsong AT gmail DOT com

Heavenly droning, endless feedback, searing Drop D riffs, pummeling drums and bass= The Almighty Hum

[@Marathon97]

There've been many imitators of Hum. What set them apart from the rest then and now is the drumming. Bryan was an absolute beast and not your average 90s band drummer.

[@jeff7764]

@@Marathon97 yup you got that right! They’re one of a kind! The absolute f’n best!

loved this band since my highschool gf showed me thm around 99 thanks whitney wherever you r

[@lredsel]

This has to be one of the most underrated bands of all time

[@jerryjingjo]

flawless really. even their newer stuff they retained they space grungy sound

[@OfficialExilica]

Straight up. They found that balance of getting famous enough to have all the people that should find them able to find them but not too famous to be jaded and lose sight of who they are. When Inlet dropped I was completely blown away. It felt like I was back in 2001. Anyone who was a teenager in the late 90s early 2000s knows exactly what that means. It's like watching a movie in your head. When you watch a movie you sit there and completely immerse yourself in that world. For an hour and a half you submit to the reality it creates. It's the same way for me with Hum. I can put on any of their albums and listen to it from start to finish and it's almost like time travel. It's weird lol

[@nameless3321]

Thank you, Brian. You did such incredible shows for us with a sound that was all your own. You inspire us all with your music and will birth generations of drummers with your playing. Rest in piece

[@daveybelladonna9295]

This rules. Hum at their peak powers imo.

[@dollarsaurus01]

15:31 The way he plucks that springy guitar lick, followed immediately by those crushing riffs to lead back into the chorus just made me giddy with laughter at how awesome it sounded. Nobody’s guitars sound quite like Hum’s

[@josephword7639]

I’m glad someone else noticed holy fuck that was good gave me goosebumps it’s not often that live sounds better than the original for any group

[@josephword7639]

Had to replay it over and over it’s amazing that kick smacks you right in the face

[@carpeteria]

What an amazing live band - they sound exactly like the records. Unreal - one of the best ever.

[@Prime_Diecast_And_Toys]

they killed it on "I Hate it Too" ... great up load.

[@derricksteele-oeler5957]

At 26:20 Hum has entered the chat...

[@ntrlnwrmz]

i love that song so much, it was amazing. is there a live performance anywhere of double dip?

[@egodeathalone]

I Hate it Too will always be one of my favorite songs until I die

[@egonzo91]

Such a wonderful band. Been a fan for a long time. Finally got to see them live when Deftones invited them to be part of there 2019 Dia De Los Deftones festival.

[@ayplan]

Hum have my favourite distorted guitar sound of all time. One of the greatest bands ever. This is gold.

[@frankanderson4113]

It is so amazing that this was documented and is available to us. I could never say how many nights I went to sleep listening to You’d Prefer an Astronaut in the nineties and oughts. And almost as many times listening to Downward is Heavenward. Whoever is responsible for sharing this…thank you most sincerely.

[@PurgatoryProductions]

Goosebumps when “The Pod” slams in. Their live tone was incredible. I hope we get a remaster of that record one day.

[@markservilio2357]

The sound on the last repress of that vinyl was spectacular too

[@severebash9153]

Frankly we don’t need it, just a re-release. In my mind, that’s one of the best engineered hard rock albums ever, audiophile wise. It’s got a pretty great dynamic range with hardly if any clipping. I’d put White Pony by Deftones, Loveless by My Bloody Valentine and Rage Against the Machine’s self titled in the same boat.

[@cosmonauta947]

hey guys they're re-releasing their entire discography

[@_Mister_E_]

@@cosmonauta947was just going to say that. I’ve tried many times, but haven’t gotten into them until recently. As a cd collector, I’m stoked that they’re re-issuing everything.

[@itmightgetdark]

I have goosebumps just reading this comment! no joke!

[@NS1.]

Damn I LOVE their live tone so much. Hum is one of those bands that are basically worshipped by their fans. I saw them open for Bush in like 1996. Hum was first, then Toadies, then Bush. I couldn't believe how heavy and badass Hum sounded. They were definitely the highlight of the night. RIP Bryan St. Pere😔 An absolute powerhouse. One of the heaviest hitting drummers ever and knew exactly how to create drum fills that were like ear candy.

[@thedonkwhisperer]

Yep, I saw that tour. Such a great memory!!

[@monkeyvoodoo9052]

they always go so hard on stars, and it's always so good. like, every. single. time.

[@derricksteele-oeler5957]

The iconic middle of the song riff/tempo change was executed flawlessly if I dare say 🤙

[@cosmicgregg]

Downward is heavenward is one of my top favorite albums. Seriously underrated musicians all of them.

[@jondubb35]

“Downward is Heavenward” is a lost classic from the 1990s. Of course, us longtime fans know of its brilliance and long lasting legacy, but I think in a few years, hopefully sooner than later, the rest of the world will start to understand and appreciate this record.

[@jackascak]

brilliant alt drum fills on Green To Me bridge... BSP forever!

12:30 I wish Matt would still do that scream live. Perfect end to a song heavy, and beautiful enough to go up against and metalcore anyday.

[@Freddy_4_Fingers]

This just came across my feed and made me smile. I love watching these guys old tapes especially getting to watch Bryan when he was a younger man 😅. He was my friend/ band mate and I miss him. He was a very humble person and he would have been overwhelmed with the love you all are throwing out in the comments.

I’m lucky to have seen hum in concert twice: once in Champaign or Peoria or something like that, and then at the Millenium Park show in Chicago. Their new album Came out of no where and had been my top played record This year

[@KanDuTV]

Great show, what a gift. Thank you for sharing!

[@foxf6]

i used to hangout at a movie store a few miles from my house, it was 1 of the only cool places in my small town... The dude who worked there was a few years older than me and in college i was still in HS... he knew i was a DJ and involved in lots of music... He burnt me a CD with Hum on there and i have never looked back... one of the greatest Rock bands of all time that few know about... cheers and thanks for this video. the good old days...

[@kennerfee100]

[@marcalbarez4704]

Being a fan of them the very first moment I heard stars on the radio when I was much younger in the 90s, I unfortunately missed them live cause I had no money. So for years I’d look for them on tour but just was never able to see them. But finally seen them in 2016. It was like a dream come true. They are definitely my top 5 list. I will see them again if they decide to come to Cali again for sure. Got plenty of money now being all grown up and stuff now! But most definitely an underrated band from the nineties!

[@NandorTheRelentless76]

I’ve been LUCKY enough to see HUM play live several times over the past couple decades. In Hartford CT. they were supposed to be on tour with The Promise Ring but their van had crashed and TPR didn’t play. That would’ve been an epic lineup! I’ve based a lot of my drumming style off of Bryan’s amazing work. The washy cymbals and sick little fills will reverberate in my mind forever ❤

[@jamesvoidray7646]

thanks dude, that is something of long gone age (sadly...)

[@JC_2311]

Woah, crazy fuckin' flashback memory dump in my head from this. Thanks YT algorithm. This is a free show, Moving On at PSU (concert every year in honor of outgoing Seniors). Also playing that concert was Goldfinger and Sonic Youth (as another comment mentioned). I was a freshman. In the crowd, I see myself and my friends in this clip. Great show, great memory. Thanks to the uploader for finding this gem so much later....also notice, no cellphones.

[@hughjardon3428]

I’ve only just come across HUM and I fucking love them!

[@TheAncientEmo]

Welcome to the club my friend, they just re-issued their full discography on vinyl & CD. Unfortunately their drummer passed away in 2020 shortly after they released their 4th LP “Inlet”. Matt Talbot the lead singer has another band Centaur that will be releasing their 2nd studio album later this year.

[@derricksteele-oeler5957]

Aphids is a good song that unfortunately wasn't released on album but you can find on KZbin as well. Also highly recommend Failure (preferably the magnified album) as well as Helmet (with their album Betty) enjoy and keep rocking 🤙
