[@themepark101]

Who is still listening in 2022?

[@przemys4466]

Became a fan in 2002, still listening in 2024

[@Joey-kr4mn]

Probably one of the best bands i’ve heard in my short 26 years. Shame they are not around anymore.

[@pawelsilkin1328]

plottwist they released an album this year

[@Joey-kr4mn]

@@pawelsilkin1328 fantastic news! Will check it out

[@pawelsilkin1328]

@@Joey-kr4mn I checked again and they released 2 songs maybe they are working on an album. I hope so at least

[@This_Day_Next_Year]

@@pawelsilkin1328 its all reissues by the Numero Group as the band bought back their masters from Southern last year. There is nothing new and no new album i'm afraid tho potentially these reissues include tracks/singles that many ppl probably hadn't heard before

[@saltyzu8412]

I mean…. They are good… but best band you’ve ever heard? Lots of music out there buddy

[@DaKasio]

2022... Karate is still the best band!

[@BramJam]

I am so glad this video exists and is on youtube

[@josephbrack4603]

Nostalgia hit. One of my fav bands in my 20's. So many memories with these songs and friends who've drifted on. Bill Kenny, Donnie Cain, Melissa Carrico. I was 23 here.

[@Nielsisdebeste]

That was one epic show. The soundtrack of the summer of 2004. Great memories

[@christopher2327]

Love seeing Geoff excited to be playing this music! He is looking out into the crowd eager to be making connections to people with the pull and drama of his compositions. I had a chance to see Karate at Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn when I was in college in NJ and skipped it bc Pockets had just come out and we thought Karate would be around for much longer. Always always always go to the show, go to the party, to the jam, to the wedding, to the birthday just go. put yourself out there, and take advantage of every opportunity you have to form beautiful and exciting memories, such as I hope this one is for Geoff Farina.

[@mercuryam]

Astonishing!! First heard this band 19 years ago and still genius and utterly criminal they were not appreciated for the amazing talent... just like Mark Eitzel and AMC!!!! So unfair

[@alejandroramosc]

And I can tell by the way the rain hits the grass it wants to be cold, it wants to be snow...

[@streifig]

Just found this. Thank you so much! Great quality vid. I miss Karate with all my heart.

[@RustinChole]

Me too.

[@mmeshutoz]

И я скучаю... Хорошая музыка 😌

[@OTWALLEHAX]

I didn't know 'em in the 90s but still I miss them

[@mattharra7673]

They're on tour again:)

[@chocobroka]

[@chocobroka]

What a fantastic group of songs to have a live record of. Operation Sand has always been a dear favorite.

[@guidobarandiaran1890]

[@pixelsculpt7893]

luv it - perfect !!!!! thx

[@gabrielflynn1411]

Thanks for uploading this! Great video

[@chileargentina]

Thank you man, this has some of my favorite karate songs.

[@CrazyMonkeyProd]

Awesome! Looks good, sounds good. Not enough Karate out there!

[@MisterBeauJanGels]

Geoff Farina has a lot to do with the lack of Karate on this website. It appears I can't go into further detail without my comment getting deleted, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

[@arcrs40]

Likeeeeeeeeeeeeee ❤...i see live 10-6-2023 in Portugal

[@lordbyronn]

KARATE, COMO BACK!

[@RustinChole]

(Gasp) small fires AND operation sand? Thank you thank you thank you.🙏❤️

[@ffbernie]

my pleasure

[@RustinChole]

Bernard Van Hecke honestly it’s all mine. Please take good care of the footage - there isn’t much out there. Stateside you’d be shocked these guys are largely unknown and under appreciated.

[@collectifperrada9730]

as perfect as breathing...can't believe this music is real...pure genius to make it sound p o s s I b l e

[@meekee1973]

not so much karate live content out there: thanks.

[@sixty-eightwhiskey7983]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@angelasierra]

Wish I was there :(

[@Berisheet]

Love this band. I’m super bummed they pulled them from Apple Music.

[@eumoria]

There's almost nothing on Spotify also. Hopefully they're not in some rights lawsuit fight or something. Wish their whole library was available somewhere but my mp3 collection is the only place I still have the records :(

[@jacobw.5169]

numero group put them back up on streaming

[@federonconi]

😍😍😍😍

[@MichelLamblin]

Thanks for the upload. So, were Karate big in Belgium? Or they just happened to have a good videography team for some Belgium gigs?

[@johnreed9435]

Sounds a bit like Cortez the Killer

[@afbwelsh]

especially the slint version

[@justahumanbeing.709]

i heard an interview with Geoff Farina, the singer, and he doesn't like Karate and is embarrassed by his lyrics!

[@thezachzachattack]

Lol is that true? What exactly is he embarrassed of? He used the Fa**ot slur in one of his songs, which I don’t mind at all tbh, so maybe it’s stuff like that he’s “embarrassed” of in hindsight? I can’t imagine he’s embarrassed as the catalogue as a whole - there are some really great lyrics.

[@justahumanbeing.709]

@@thezachzachattack yeah i think his lyrics are great too, but he thinks it's all cringe. He did an interview on 'Washed up emo' site.you can hear it there. 'Bad tattoo on every boy i see, this one's for you and it's a message from me, it's am image not a metaphor' class lyrics right there.

[@jeffsmith9351]

Plenty of introspective people have a hard time embracing their lyrics, especially ones that are years and decades old, that they might not identify with anympre.

[@AmericanBarber82]

I saw these guys in 02 at Kilby Court in SLC. Still in my top 3 favorite shows of all time.
