Jellyfish (Band) - Full Live Concert at Music Hall in Frankfurt, Germany

[@markmaster66]

The Talent to let it all hang out and the confidence to back it up.

[@porchfyre612]

I now declare JellyFish as the most underrated kings of power pop!

[@thatbennyworth]

welcome to the party :p

[@timothya.olmeda7299]

Porch Fyre that was declared nearly 30 years ago.....and counting, thanks to you. Of course, it wouldn't be the same without them bubbles.

[@amipro380]

All is forgiven!😄

[@lpspinners8736]

Saw them Live in '93 and yes, they were the KINGS OF POWER POP! It's a shame they didn't keep it going...

[@joaojorge4590]

As much as I love them too, in my opinion Posies take the cake

[@wyattmichael1541]

Saw them on the Spilt Milk Tour - 4th of July 1993. I was a Senior in High School. What a freakin' treat. Met Andy before the show by accident getting off an elevator..what a freakin' extra treat. Eric Dover was on lead guitars...what a treat. Roger was there. Some drunk asshole threw a beer bottle at Andy from the back while they were playing. Andy saw it coming over the crowd and ducked right in time. He said, "This next song is dedicated to you for making a complete fool of yourself!" They went right into "My Best Friend" and he kept changing the words to offend the asshole and pointing with his drumstick. Classic. Night ended with fireworks...literally. What a flippin' great night. One of my top five bands in history.

Rad story. Cheers!

[@wyattmichael1541]

RobotWookiee Yeah..wish I could do it all over again! No good bands like them anymore... :(

[@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube]

+Wyatt Michael I wish I could as well! And there are plenty of fantastic bands. It's just that most are not on mainstream radio. I'd love to point you in the right direction if you wanted.

[@lpspinners8736]

Saw them too on that tour October 23, 1993, at the Riverside Theater, in Miwaukee, WI, as the opener for Tears For Fears. I would say the best concert in 150+ shows I have attended. #2 was Supertramp, Crime Of The Century Tour, Uptown Theater, April 4, 1975 and #3 was Radiohead, Hail To The Thief Tour, August 23, 2003.

Years ago I saw their box set in a glass case at a local record store. I couldn't resist it, and was prepared to pay the price for it --120 dollars. The cashier misread the price tag. I was so stunned, I didn't correct her. I paid 12 dollars for it!

One of the top 5 wisest purchases I've made was a Jellyfish ticket. 7/3/93, Detroit--front row. The most faithful live band I've ever seen & probably ever will. Stage gods!

[@tablaturebutler2823]

So few bands can actually SING live! I saw these guys 3 times - and the singing was SUBLIME every time - the best of any band I ever saw - and I've seen almost every major act of that era. Don't even get me started on the harmonies! I think they sounded like what the Beatles would have sounded like had they continued to record...

[@kxcd]

[@fidoflint]

@@kxcd Yep--got to interview Roger for Jam Rag between soundcheck & showtime. In retrospect, I have ZERO qualms about passing up Peter Gabriel's show the same night!

I was working radio when their studio CDs came out. I promoted the Hell out of this band! Everything I played of theirs was well received - to this day I can't figure out why they didn't rule the airwaves. Whenever I need to chill out and feel good - there always Jellyfish to wake me up again

[@fredericmezei2090]

Around 2 am, there s 20 or or more years ago, on mtv night video i saw the kings is had undressed. During all the day after i look in all the paris stores for their album and find it, a japan import. i bought bellybutton then split milk. If it would be vinyl's ones i couldn't listen yet. Two masterpieces i listen it with always the same pleasure. I really thank you for this live.

[@adimgoodboy]

Loves this band. I discoverd Jellyfish while digging some records in Kuala Lumpur few years back. The most underrated pop band. Salute

[@daddymidwest4111]

It’s often said that it’s the friction between band members that creates the musical masterpieces in this world. Never more true than with these cats. Their individual music has greatness, but when combined in Jellyfish, ahhhhhh... PERFECTION. Wish they could have held it together.

[@MikeGervasi]

Andy had one of the purest voices out there. Mixed with Roger and Jason's it was amazing.

I was lucky to see their last live performance in Atlanta, Georgia 93-94. The sound was phenomenal. miss them very much. There is a band out of Texas that does a good job in the same Genre.....Sugarbomb.

[@scaryfast94]

A few more are The Tories, Mike Viola and the Candy Butchers, The Major Labels (Mike Viola and Bleu), and finally LEO (which is more of a tribute to ELO which is Mike Viola and Bleu as well).

[@petethepirate730]

Check out The Sonic Executive Sessions. They are a great band with the same sound.

[@michaelhuggins9947]

I saw that show in Atlanta. I had no clue that it was going to be their last. What a really great event to be at and share with some very close friends. Miss hanging you Miles, Andy, Tim and Billy! It’s still a PROFOUNDLY significant evening, burnt in my memory bank.

[@robertredford4332]

I was looking for this band over 20 years, I did not know name, or anything, I just knew drummer was standing during playing, singers were great, and that is all

[@kmelodyg]

This is so sweet!! I have been a Jellyfish fan since 1992. One of my friends gave me a mixed tape with some of their songs. I begged her for the whole album after that! They were way ahead of their time. Jellyfish, if you're reading this, I love your work so much!! Always have!! "When you asked me if I really missed ya. I can't wait to tell ya. Cause you're the one..." REUNION 2019!!? Please? ❤ XO

Saw Jellyfish in Monterey, California in '93. Met them backstage after the show and gave them the jacket I had on...a black , retro 70's piece. I stayed for a while and had a drink with them but I was in the Army and had to get back to the barracks. Great night and great band ! Thanks for posting !

[@ronbo11]

Pure unadulterated brilliance! I love the music of JELLYFISH forever.

[@videogameobsession]

Amazing stuff. Their music is timeless. I'm happy to see a new double CD remaster of both albums (4 CDs total). It's said to include many of the songs from the OOP Fan Club release (which I mistakenly sold). It also mentions commentary from both Andy and Roger, which if true, should be worth the price alone. Long live Jellyfish!

[@Sakibomb29]

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing. Jellyfish only made two studio albums, but they were both perfection. I wish I could have seen them live.

[@briva]

Thank you for sharing this. This old total music snob is still in utter awe of this band.

[@bunnyhead71]

Very few bands would ever be able to pull off this kind of stuff live. When you hear the two albums and even the demos, You would never in a million years expect that it would ever be this tight. The only other band I can even start to think in that sense is either King Crimson or Zappa. Amazing

[@Karamiehorse]

A timeless band!!

[@chrisl2285]

Agree with the criticisms of this particular video. It's not a good representation of how good they sounded live but as one person noted, we are lucky to have a whole video of a Bellybutton tour concert. When I saw them in 1991, they definitely opened with Hello but I'm pretty sure they had dropped the "Hold Your Head Up" intro. They had also dropped the bubble machine. Calling Sara was definitely the second song they played, as in this video. It was my first concert and a great show!

[@DrumDood24]

Never got to see them live (4yrs old are the time) my dad saw them a few times. Although I wrote them a letter as a kid joining their fan club. They sent me a poster and some other stuff. These guys are amazing.

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERATED BANDS OF ALL TIME!!! I saw them live opening for Tears for Fears in Fla (93 I think) and was FUCKING Blown Away...My keyboard player and I were so Impressed that we named our band "Spilt Milk" ( Yes we are on you tube...Spilt Milk ) Not the reason for this post though...Thank you for this video It brings back GREAT Memories,,,I am so impressed with the intelligence that went into the lyrics, chord changes, and when I saw them thier sound was perfect. They were (and hopefully still are} really nice,friendly, cool guys as well. They took the time back-stage to just talk, I'll never forget that night....A.J. (Lead Singer} Spilt Milk

Amazing band......first saw them @ Wembley (London) when their 1st album had just been released-they were 1st on the bill of an all day show w/5 other bands (INXS was the headliner). As we were all filing into the stadium, a helicopter flew overhead, dropping 10's of thousands of postcard-sized adverts for them and their 1st album......they put on an amazing show that day, & I became an instant fan.......bought the album the next day, of course.

[@lonnygee]

Awesome!! I also saw them with Black Crowes in Portland. I didn't know who they were, but was hooked from then on, thanks for sharing!

[@cngardner1078]

I saw them with the Black Crowes in Portland as well at the Schnitzer. I saw them on the Spilt Milk tour a couple years later at a small club too. Both great shows. I had seen their videos on MTV but that was about it. After seeing them open for the Crowes, I made my roommate go by Tower Records (Boy do I miss that store) on the way back down to Oregon State (it was the week before spring finals started) so I could pick up the Bellybutton album because I was so impressed by them. I've introduced them over the years to countless people and everyone is amazed they weren't bigger. I guess just bad timing.

[@joejonesjr]

So glad I got to see these guys twice after the release of Spilt Milk. It would've been cool to see this exact lineup too but I'll take what I got all day long. Really nice guys!!

Just another gem of a band that came out of the 90's. Classic time for music and bands.

[@macadamed]

It's so bittersweet to be a Jellyfish fan. So much joy in their music, yet so sad there isn't more. If they put this music out in the 70's, they would've been classic rock giants. Surely there must be some famous musicians that cite them as influences, ala Big Star? I wonder if Andy Sturmer is so reclusive because of the Jellyheads that would surely stalk him and kidnap him to force a reunion!!

[@comous]

I treasure both of their cds and listen to them religiously. This is a magical treat!!!

[@AlexColeti]

Just great! Thank u 4 the upload!

[@AudioFileZ]

Few bands could have been the next Beatles but it's clear these guys just might have been talented enough to assume the mantle. It was probably never achievable but there's definitely something here that leads me to think it. The band was freakin' great and if the music business was actually based on talent and quality these guys would have ruled! Thanks for the great upload.

[@KikoSavesTheDay]

Power pop does not sell, unfortunately. And Jellyfish's goofy presentation and wardrobe at a time when people were tired of the frivolity of the hair bands didn't help. But, hey, they were awesome and those records are still great.

[@porchfyre612]

I know power pop doesn't sell. But it sold me! ... a long time ago. ... when this album was released... when I found them by a fluke. A lot of their songs were hit worthy! It's too bad they weren't more famous... I hate to sound cliche',,,,but I blame it on the music industry.

[@vobaadov2000]

I agree with many of the things said about this band, which I absolutely adore. It is difficult to say who is to 'blame', per se. The music industry is perhaps one of the most fickle businesses to be in. Commercial success has very little to do with talent, and everything to do with the right combination of engineering, marketing and economics. Take stock of who were at the top during their heyday: Whitney Houston; Ace-of-Base, Jodeci. The list goes on. With Jellyfish, I chalk it up to a case of 'wrong time, wrong place'. Lastly, with their incredible individual artistry, talent and ambitions, I'm not sure Jellyfish wanted to (or could've) stayed Jellyfish, for long. Perhaps, we'll never know the real story until "What Happened to Jellyfish?" comes out on Netflix. All I can say is in a world of Watch me Nae Nae, thank god for Bellybutton and Spilt Milk...

[@Vibration1129]

+Henry Mena They most definitely did not have a goofy presentation. Soulful, colorful and real.
