Jellyfish - "New Mistake" (Battle Of The Bands '93)

[@ericdover6984]

No backing tracks.What you hear is what is.

[@StrateleStudios]

Eric, this performance is mind blowing. I was lucky enough to see you guys live and definitely no backing tracks! 👏

[@Freedsoulmusic777]

Truly, one of the most amazing live performances ever! Who could even pull that off these days??

[@Freedsoulmusic777]

Oh wait, only TLQ! :)

YES, we do.

[@Probablylani]

Yes 😥

[@TheBackhouseMau]

Yeees ;(

[@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.

[@AlerieHightower]

Yeah, the tension in the vocals on All Is Forgiven is palpable, but it made for one incredible song.

[@neilpower1731]

Perfectly expressed. 👍

[@AlerieHightower]

This performance was flawless! I was lucky enough to see the Spilt Milk tour in Dallas and got to meet some of the guys afterward. The vocals were absolutely astounding, just like in this clip. They are all just so immensely talented. I'm sorry they couldn't make it work, but I loved Imperial Drag and am checking out the Lickerish Quartet.

[@nolanwarner1882]

I was at that show

[@dougconley]

Pulling that off live is extraordinary! Such talent.

[@goldentigeredward]

The cream of the 90's crop...they should have been HUGE!

[@steverose1977]

Absolutely.

[@KhalDrogo76]

Still one of my favorite bands of all time, up there with The Beatles and Steely Dan and XTC. Original, talented, songwriting ability, production off the charts....they were the real deal, and it was really 2 guys; Andy and Roger. Spilt Milk and Bellybutton still hold up as 2 of the best records ever made.

[@StrateleStudios]

KhalDrogo76 those are my favorite bands as well! Totally agree with your comment. 👍

[@KRDZoom1]

Hard to believe that only 4 people just made that sound.

[@martinkreps9946]

Easily one of the best underrated bands ever! They should have gotten the recognition they deerved! They should have been HUGE!

[@elroyblackbean]

Saw this about 30 years ago, and it changed everything.

[@StrateleStudios]

Yes! 👏👏👏

[@dougstephens1979]

I was a kid back in 1990 and I don't know how but I got my hands on a copy of bellybutton and, even though I loved Nirvana and hard rock and punk, that album really made an impression on me. I kind of forgot about it but about a week ago found it on CD in a dollar bin, and I remember every single song, all the words... Every single song is amazing and so catchy. What a great band. Thank you, Jellyfish!

[@TwinFaceKline]

i remember watching this as a kid because I read a People magazine review comparing Spilt Milk to Queen. I recorded it with a hand-held cassette recorder and used to play it in my dad's car all the time, which drove him crazy. Then I got the album and my life was changed.

[@amipro380]

I remember reading another review of Spilt Milk where other comparisons were made: Queen, Beatles, Beach Boys, The Four Freshman, and Dan Fogelberg( most likely his thick and beautiful orchestrations, arrangementents, and storytelling. I think Big Star was even thrown in there or The Association.

[@TorzJohnson]

They should have been huge (and given us 10 more albums)!

[@StrateleStudios]

TorzJohnson totally agree!

[@Probablylani]

I am hoping Andy has some archived music somewhere he secretly releases someday. He’s getting older and it really makes me sad that there’s not more to explore in their discography.

[@groundhog713]

@@TorzJohnson I agree. It would've been great to hear more than two albums from these guys, but it just wasn't meant to be. I'm just thankful that we got what we got from them.

[@cs292]

My daughter was born in 1992…this song always makes me think of her..what a beautiful person she has become..and now she is a great Mom..amazing. So proud…..and she married a drummer. Figures.

[@user-et2fj8xm5l]

One of the greatest bands that ever existed..

[@edwardbliss8931]

Jellyfish were interesting in the fact that they actually became more popular after the band broke-up (sort of like the Velvet Underground). They're more beloved now than they were in the early 1990's

[@Neco42]

The vocals are just incredible in the limited live stuff on KZbin of Jellyfish. Their four part harmonies blow my mind. Andy casually standing and playing immaculate drums while singing 😂😆 what a damn shame they can’t reunite for another shot. This music is so much more relevant now than it ever was, they were ahead of the curve back then then.

[@Super1bigKahuna]

The best band ever, no band can ever harmonize better and the guitar solo from Eric is the best:!!!!!

[@phoenixjim0527]

1:48 Eric covered the solo very well (and with a dash of his own tone), but Lyle Workman recorded the album’s tasty original. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyle_Workman?wprov=sfti1

[@iainblack2975]

Except 10 cc

[@iainblack2975]

And Stone Temple Pilots

[@oboogie2]

Absolutely. The great thing to me about Jellyfish, besides obvious greatness, was that they took all of these very obvious and great influences, and took these ingredients to the next level and made something totally their own out of it. Too bad they imploded. Great band!

[@precisionbrown6829]

One of the most underrated players ever! 😢❤

[@nolanwarner1882]

God i miss this band. Got to meet Andy at their last show.

[@lonerwiththecamera]

This band was so fucking great on every level. Then Grunge hit the scene and just killed it for them. It's a pity people then didn't grasp that not every god damn piece of music had to sound like Nirvana.

[@taylorh4480]

calm down bro, they didn’t break up because of grunge they broke up because they hated each other and couldn’t get on the same page during the sessions for the third album. When you have three extremely talented songwriters in a band who are also all lead vocalist it’s really hard to not want your idea to be the idea that gets recorded… That’s why Jason and Roger and Andy and Jon Brion (Who joined the band after “Spilt Milk”) all decided to just go solo instead

[@bobfrapples1208]

Spilt Milk came out in 93 a full 2 years after Nevermind.

[@cory3518]

Nirvana, Or all of the Creed copycats the music labels were cranking out.

[@HunniBeeez]

I honestly don’t think there could be a more perfect song.

[@precisionbrown6829]

John Thomson What’s the name of the book please??

[@kristenr8311]

Nirvana

[@krone3286]

I know this is 10 years later 😅 but they broke up because Andy Sturmer (Drummer/Vocals) was really tough to work with. He needed to be in control so no one wanted to work with the duo of him and Roger Joseph Manning Jr. Sturmer later went on to work on cartoons like Batman and Looney Tunes on Cartoon Network

[@Fos3tex]

We missed out on so much good music from this band!

[@StrateleStudios]

For sure

Recently had this song pop up on my spotify & it changed my life. It’s been the song of my summer ‘21, so their impact continues almost 30 years later. Stunned by their live performance abilities. literally the best of the 90s in my opinion

[@StrateleStudios]

What’s your favorite tune? 😊

[@Silver-28]

Both their albums are incredible. Try king is half undressed, baby’s coming back, joining a fan club, she still loves him. All amazing songs.

[@keriturner216]

The same for me! This song came up on my Ben Folds radio mix and has to be my most listened song of '21!

[@guen4413]

Something similar happened to me. Joining a fan club came up on my Spotify discover weekly playlist. I really liked the song so I listened to the whole album and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Listening to Spilt Milk for the first time was one of the best musical experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve been obsessed with Jellyfish ever since

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

IF ERIC DOVER ONLY KNEW THAT HE WAS DESTINED FOR GREATNESS!!! Playing in the Prom band with Marcia Brady dancing and Davy Jones singing is an unattainable height for us mortals. I hope he appreciates it. 😊

[@precisionbrown6829]

First time I heard them I knew they were special. Just that one verse Spraying from his pen like polliwogs. Genius. Maybe they couldn’t write music fast enough. I’d love to produce these guys. We’d make a fortune. A singing drummer! They’re great!

[@annlloyd9798]

Still listening after all of these years ... ,they're fab...I absolutely adore this track and "Ghost at number one" is sublime! One of my favourite lines of all time is from Ghost at number one.." How does it feel...to be a visionary poet "❤

[@StrateleStudios]

I wish they had stayed together long enough to cut a few more albums 😔

[@stevesleg]

As someone who grew up on Nirvana then progressed backwards to the 60s musically, I’ve never heard the guys till today and I’m blown away. Was having a bad day thank you Jelly Fish. Wow!
