[@ltmc99]

Goosebumps. Saw them in 95 for $15 along with Sponge, Weezer, Spacehog, Bush. Great years to be alive.

[@DefinitelyNotMyRealName]

[@mikerieck306]

Spacehog??? They rule!

@Veran Dass She still amazing Veran. My stan level is at 100%

[@doctor.vinilo]

[@ThePlayerToBeNamedLater]

@@doctor.vinilo Still wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers

[@arethaw]

[@akracing7]

Holy Moses, she still has an amazing set of pipes.

[@Jolly-Green-Steve]

The sound engineering on the band's live mix is fantastic.

[@conshymatt]

came here after watching Parks and Rec for the 15th time. i'm Gen X and remember this song but wow i forgot what a banger it is!

[@studapeppahead5384]

I have 3 daughters....all under the age of 7....they will listen to this.....and make their own decisions about how much THIS HSIT ROCKS!!!!!!!

[@planetwalkerchannel9625]

Kay, how come you are so amazing! You aged like wine.

[@disneyforthewin]

Shes a vampire. Not a single day.... hasnt aged one gd day!!!

[@soarin12]

The group sound just as good if not better than 1995, it must be said she still looks gorgeous.

[@chrissimpson6701]

Then I was 15, here and now, I'm 40. This band rock still.

[@anusface2]

Holy shit this came out 25 years ago... I'm old.

[@chrissimpson6701]

@@anusface2 Only as old as you feel, I'm in the strength of my life and I'm proud to be 40, no shame. I wouldn't want to be that arrogant, cocky, hot shot that I was at 15 again. Just sayin.

[@dowens3781]

@vernon dan She looks great for her age, douche - she's 48 here.

[@zenvagabond]

@@chrissimpson6701 you're still hot ...

[@murraylee9558]

Wow...you can close your eyes and its 1995!! Kay is incredible! GREAT performance!

[@murraylee9558]

Veran Dass Disagree and who cares? She’s an incredible singer. 👍🏽😃

[@dowens3781]

@vernon dan Not really.

[@Danny-wv8ec]

90s baby!

[@gregh1853]

Im 66 and i miss the 90's next to early 70;s my fav music .....loved the Seattle sound...i was lucky to be living in Kent in 92-93....then back to Phoenix....best time in my life was 90-96

[@Danny-wv8ec]

@@gregh1853 mad respect. I’m 38 and i’ve lived all my life in Beirut, Lebanon. My dad is 68 and he’s fighting cancer now, i get my taste in music from him, i love all those late 60s and 70s bands because of him, bands like Cream Sabbath Zeppelin and all the rest. Also he saw Pink Floyd live in Paris during the Animals tour coz he was forced to move there to study because of the civil war here. My fav Seattle band is Soundgarden then AIC, my all time favorite band is Tool and i’m gonna see them live for the first time on June 10th in Vienna. Btw my uncle’s bane in Gregory, Krikor in Armenian named after Gregory the illuminator.

[@timprismusic376]

This band, this song, those guitarists, that drummer, the bassist and the lead singer. Everything about this song is Perfection!!!

[@hutch1197]

If you played me just the audio, I would have assumed this was performed 25 years ago. Amazing.

[@EllakGr]

The first time I hear a band perform their biggest hit from the 90s 25 years later and it sounds BETTER. Especially Kay’s voice has a lot more rock punch. Wow! I bet the audience thought it sounded better here and now.

[@blpblp-tj7ux]

why do i love this tune so much?

[@Nightowl333]

This is so beautiful. She absolutely rocked this perfect, she sounds so good, they all do!! This is one of my all time favorite songs, ill never forget rocking out to it in my room in college.

[@JulianPersival]

the most of the public aren't using their "smartphones", that's spirit!

[@jaybo_219]

I fucking LOVED this song! My friends used to make fun of me for rocking out so hard to this. Those dumbasses didn’t know what they were missing. Hell fucking yes! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@rscii497]

Vocal perfection. She's still got it. They are all so damn talented! This may be one the best live vocal performances of ANY band I've ever seen online. That was truly amazing - and the fact it's 22 years later makes it all the more breathtaking!

[@timothycole5266]

She's BADASS!!

[@zeroomens9438]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, this was AMAZING

[@richie616]

Great performance aside, I love how the band members are smiling and moving about; music is still *fun* for them. They feel it. I wonder how many (or rather, how few) of today's recording artists can say the same...

[@giannidcenzo]

Still bad ass

[@cesarbarron662]

THIS WAS JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!! LIKE A TIME MACHINE!!!

[@oscarivanzavalavera925]

She rocks!!! 1993 Rok of ages 😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@lbx5139]

Damn!! They still sound as good as they did back then!! Fuck I miss the grunge days....

[@jarrenSA-ENG]

wow she still sounds fantastic. what a vocal

[@RenderElectric]

Oh man...saw them show up at a local bar in Louisville mid 90-s and play this song w the cover band playing.

[@DonIsMe123]

Kay is amazing. I've been a fan of LTC forever, and was extremely fortunate enough to meet her for a few moments. She was gracious, appreciative, and a true professional. Even though I've been a guest DJ on WBCN 104.1 "The Rock of Boston," she's the only person over whom I totally lost my cool and geeked out. BB King? Cool. Billy Corrigan? Cool. Kay Hanley? Lost my cool.

[@kinneyclausnitzer2791]

Damn that's a very solid band and mix 100% pros would love to see them live if they ever roll through portland Oregon I seen them way back when they broke out

[@Fnortner01]

Maybe back when Gustav or Hamilton played it on NRK? Yeah I would pay a lot to go see them.

[@NoBSMusicReviews]

Jesus - she's a better singer, especially on the high parts, then she was back then! Way more balls, way more punch in the gut. And the friggin band sounds the same! How many bands sound BETTER all these years later?

[@gkprivate433]

the voice is just wonderful. Hits all the notes in the range

[@mattknowles1123]

Nailed it.

[@ctreeves08]

I miss Letters to Cleo

Sounds as fresh today as then!!!!

[@paddle_hike]

Letters to cleo was one of my favorite bands ever and I STILL can't sing the fast part of this song hahahahaha!

[@christheghostwriter]

Plus she has to sing that fast part and then jump right to the chorus with no time to breathe. Impressive for someone half her age

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky but can never parallel the challenge of an Acquisition in the here and now

[@holybonez516]

Listing to her songs makes me wish I was around in the 90s.

[@vclazlo929]

And like that I’m transported back to one of my major musical crushes.......

[@JOSEPHVENTURABRAND]

Jesus they are Incredible!!!!

[@PhillipSiddiq]

😀😀😀💯💯💯❤👏👏 Rap that Baby!!!

[@thatharrbear]

3:04 The bass line here is one of those things that will forever live rent free in my head

[@mikerieck306]

No shit....me too.😆

[@davidgoebel20]

Amazing vocals and I love a band that performs the song as recorded

[@MrKarmapolice97]

Wow still look and sound fucking great guys! Me and my best friend used to drive the backroads in her old Dodge Omni (because we both missed to many days of school to get license) and jam out to this! Those were the good old days!

[@clairvoyant19]

Please come to Pawnee

[@gk10002000]

damn it. why am I never aware of these performances. What a beautiful woman on many levels

[@ribbonsandrainbowsribbonsa2529]

To amazing 1968 born

[@whiteyholmes]

This fucking band rocks and this chick is a great singer...Shes still hot too!

[@ricklebeau9906]

Nothing better than a Cleo hometown weekend at The Paradise!

[@patrickfay9423]

[@alxtnt57]

That was awesome! really cool sound .. when alternative first came out this was the shit

[@B.U.D.B.B]

-hammer-

[@courtbeall7768]

Absolutely killed it.Great songs stand the test of time just like that.Here and Now is even better live now.No loops,autotune,samples.

[@yourhero36]

Awesome!

[@traviscypert7047]

And what I'm saying is it almost sounded like as good as a studio performance so with the way that they did the audio and everything like that that was almost perfect

[@AaronClow]

The whole concert is on here. If you haven't seen it, you need to. This presentation of these songs are now my "preferred" versions, and I almost never like live recordings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3OZool5m5urhaM

[@splashlegend]

Crowds like that should be replaced instantly. Nexted! I would go absolute nuts if I got to see them live.

[@elizabethcaulfield1952]

Omg amazing awesome xx

[@christheghostwriter]

That's great

[@greendrinkguy1882]

Sound-man did a nice job with the vocal FX!

[@oneastrails]

Holy Crap! This sounds amazing.

[@beautifulwomenandmusic8145]

I discovered this song on a Beavis & Butt-Head episode. :D I love this song and this performance in particular.

[@jasonjohnson2250]

If I still lived in Boston then that would've been one show I wouldn't have missed I miss my Boston

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE DEAD VERSION. COMMENTING FOR MY BLONDE GIRLFRIEND.

[@matthewhansen9423]

Still looks and sounds great!

[@dannyw271979]

Here let me help you out, And it might,,,,,, be,,,,,, The comfort of the knowledge and the rise above the sky, but could never parallel the challenge of the aquistion of the here and now!

I hear mouthing the chorus of this song at normal speed will make a woman really really like you ;)

[@MURMENLIFE]

I love it.

¡Qué perro les quedó la rola!

I know the lyrics but this is what I sound like when I sing along: “Shaba dabba nabba dabbba shabba dabba sky Nemma nemma dabba dabba shamanama…”

Just living on a Sunday morning, got my toast and tea and I'm warm and I Just thought I'd think about. all the things to get and keep getting, never Enough not enough and never ending. I just thought I'd think about. and it might be... The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky above could Never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the here and now. Parody of yourself in color, giving it to everybody but your mother. you've got much to Think about. soaring higher with every treason. never justify, never reason.
