Mike Watt, Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl - Against the 70's

Live from 1995.

[@altarofkubrickfloyd]

Mike Watt was the John entwistle of American indie. Absolute monster on bass. Vedder and Grohl backing him just incredible.

[@guillaumedemers4711]

RIght after Kurt died too think about it

[@guillaumedemers4711]

Plus that was the first time I saw vedder play g ever major props to Mikey

[@dgerch]

Is

[@bigiedieot]

that's not very against the 70s of you

[@stephenforbes2762]

not even close to the skill of entwistle. His bass playing here is pretty rudimentary.

[@gregnewman2512]

Grohl and Vedder yield to Mike Watt. True respect.

[@PanekPL]

As they should. They are inferior musicians from inferior bands.

[@weareallequal4266]

Watt is and always will be, THE standard bearer for punk for us all, that fist is everything, defiant, steadfast and a call for unity to keep moving forward

[@pjjacob4504]

A burly, high energy Mike Watt with his big ole bass, and a young, intense Eddie Vedder. The juxtaposition of their voices and presences really make this. Amazing!

[@babylonkid]

@mark corrigan He does on the album. But I liked this. Dope song.

[@REcoveryVOice93]

dont forget dave grohl!

[@smarkmalark]

Eddie was 31 here lol

[@netycornejo6592]

I want y’all to appreciate what Mike is doing with his left hand during that “KIDS” fist pump. Makes the bass look effortless.

[@LaGuerre19]

Oh I appreciate it, my man. Good lookin out. That's the Wattage I came for my dude

[@ike2010]

I was at their show in Athens, GA on this tour. Still one of the most memorable shows I’ve ever been to. All legends on that stage.

[@billmccarty4561]

Saw the Boston show. No advertising...more word of mouth. Show was in the afternoon, Foo Fighters opened along with Hovercraft. Small club. Agree...totally memorable.

[@muziktrkr]

@@billmccarty4561Hovercraft were ok, kind of Pink Floyd-esque - when I saw them, Ed was their roadie, unloading the van,setting stuff up, and I was going “ this guy is in the biggest band in the world right now and he probably doesn’t do this in his own band!”

[@thomasoneill6541]

Completely agree. I was at the St. Louis show. Still in my top 5 shows I’ve seen, 29 years later….

[@muziktrkr]

It was good for Eddie and Dave to tour with @wattfrompedro at that time. Nirvana was over and Dave was figuring out his next move. Eddie was wrestling with the fame thing and going back to the clubs and theaters grounded him a bit. Grohl could talk to Watt and Pat Smear (who would join them on tour) about coping with loss of a band member…. Watt and Smear had to have known each other from back in the day.

[@kafkaseyebrows]

eddie sounds so different. love this!

[@jimdabomb]

You can actually understand what he is saying here.

[@alexhennigh5242]

I think that's on account of him playing guitar as well. Nowhere near as easy as it looks to do both at the same time.

[@MoizAudio]

keepin it midrangy

[@mrgorgun81]

Wow, so "speaking as a child of the 90s" in PJ's Habit is a nod to this song??

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

Yes.

[@LaGuerre19]

NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D HABIT

[@andrewmichaellee]

Def a reference.

[@holgerlehmann5043]

Imagine… you are teenager born 76…. getting into music with PJ and Nirvana when they started to emerge…. then a friend gives you this CD and tells you what your idols were listening to before….so you start doing the same….and you discover a whole universe of cool bands who were real and to the point… mike watt and the minutemen for 26 years now … they will stay with me I hope another 26 years 😍

[@sasatarle5393]

Never had that friend. There were so many bands i missed but good thing we have yt now. Feel sorry for all concerts i missed

[@joshuamartins9487]

Imagine being born in 74 and seeing this live , for $5

[@BarekHalfhand]

I saw him open up for Primus back in the 90s... I wish I could remember it 🤔

[@robmcilheney1657]

Same, He got booed off the stage and threw a tantrum at Red Rocks, shouting "Go start your own fucking band!"

[@defdef1354]

I love this

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Ok I need this whole show now . 🔥

[@chrism6681]

Idk if it’s this exact show, but look up “Ring Spiel Tour ‘95” or something like that, the cover is red, it’s a live album with this lineup

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

@chrism6681 I totally will thanks the sound guy crushed it at that show really good not to mention these guys gel together in a weird n super wacky way . Mike's bass sounds so satisfying on this

[@TheRideandglide]

I was there!! " Ball hog or tugboat" tour.

[@j2martnz348]

Me too! Saw them in Providence , R.I. Best $8 I've ever spent !

[@PerfectLittleBitesFrederick]

Fantastic. I saw them on this tour at Lupo's in Providence, RI

[@joshuamartins9487]

I was at that show too !!! Spring of 1995

[@suddenpause774]

I was there too

[@copheart]

I love this song! Reminds me of better times.

[@JohnVander70]

That was bad ass.

[@babylonkid]

Eddie is the greatest.

[@LaGuerre19]

100%. No Code era Eddie, just b4 Yield is prime Ed. I mean, he's eternal, but this is tops.

[@Agent_Riot-2000]

All i can say is... this sounds like Pearl Mike Nirvatt. Definitely huge 👌

[@1millionpumpkins542]

The irony is as epic as the song itself

[@justinkline1294]

Watt rules bass. So animated. Just damn.

[@phillipvillafane9189]

Saw this tour!!!!! Thanks for this

[@chlum6295]

haha mike has those spare strings handy 0:53

[@Littleneddygtw]

Bless ‘em all. What’s a bless

[@jaymze44]

The Metro!

[@mikeanderson7962]

BEST song Eddie ever sang in his life!!! Those lyrics are DEEP!!! "BabyBoomers feeding you RUMORS"

[@missandrea8705]

🔥🔥🔥

[@gojiegojie6881]

Dave Grohl back to 1993 when his play with nirvana at live and loud😎

[@NotoriousV.I.C.]

You could just as easily write this song about the 90’s.

[@Napalmdog]

Sure, for those kids of the 2010s and later.

[@elmoblatch9787]

Incorrect. Embrace the 90s. Reject the 70s.

[@NotoriousV.I.C.]

Or you could just do whatever you want and keep it to yourself.

[@LaGuerre19]

@@elmoblatch9787 Elmo, I'm with you on this 100%, but I'm with you 0% on what you did to Andy Dufresne. Just wrong, my guy.

[@jamesc4392]

Could you, though? Boomers are still in power. If anything the exact same lyrics apply

[@joshurt1983]

Show complete please

[@evanisovich]

Mike Watt looks like Judd Apatow here

[@ryderup]

Hehe. Yes!

[@michaellelle4447]

The good old days with #flying the flannel And fire hose, or my gosh # walking the cow

[@josephmcgraw4599]

When was this filmed

[@dooley8746]

This is such a weird video. Besides Eddie and Dave playing together with fresh haircuts but still looking fine as hell, I for real thought scruffy Mike Watt was scruffy Luke Bryan at first. And to top it all off they got a Donald Glover doppelganger to work security at 2:13 Ok maybe not so much from the front though 2:28 Makes me want to go rewatch kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKe0k4J8h8SJppI again and put both videos in a playlist back to back 🤪 Both videos can only be the brainchild of severely messed up but funny individuals who are probably friends with Weird Al like back in the day when mtv was new and super weird but super awesome I approve

[@pinkymixology4965]

We had nothing. We had no chance.

[@Napalmdog]

Why was Mike Watt let out of the title of this video?

[@vii9284]

The kids of today should defend themselves against the early 2000s

[@gazbomb74]

I love seeing this it's fantastic but it just goes to show how limited the accessibility was back in the those times ?These gigs were just articles in magazines in the UK which created a mystique but to see them as could as you would have imagined kind of feels I missed out at the time !!But I get to see them which in the end is all that matters I know !!!

[@OzyMandias13]

This song is still applicable today except the 70s is the age of the people running American politics

[@thesanfordmethod1905]

This at the Troc?.

[@ericmuschlitz7619]

Voltaires out takes.

[@robertk2007]

What year is this?

[@LaGuerre19]

Ballhog or Tugboat came out in 95, so 95 or 96. Peak Eddie

[@joshuamartins9487]

Spring /summer of 95...saw them in Providence , R.I.

[@TheSickNeeds]

all i hear is vocals and bass...who mixed this?

[@bwolff3155]

Looks like the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. Have a bootleg from this show. Pretty awesome!

[@bwolff3155]

Sometimes soundboards sound like this...

[@TheSickNeeds]

soundboards that sound like that are being run by people who should be fired.

[@makersmike2959]

I don't think it's the soundboard so much as what's lost in the recording.

[@ryanhenry21]

Some guy called Mike

[@CarleneFontoura]

Intentionally or not, today's Dave Grohl's birthday :)

[@ryderup]

Haha. Maybe something was unintentionally leading me.

[@johncraighammond1646]

Garbage vendors verse true defenders of the craft.

[@CharlesWhipple-x3n]

It's like Cream but with a not Clapton! Cream with Michale Graves!

[@impalaman9707]

At the risk of sounding trite, I'm going to say: "THE KYIERDS OF TODEYAH SHOULD DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST THE NINE-DEYAHS"

[@youngc570]

Boomers aren't done effin up the world yet kids!

[@kreambo1235]

Is that Seth Rogen?

[@ejvodk4]

kreambo1235 jajaja

[@Wocajon]

No

[@LaGuerre19]

Nope, it's Judd Apatow

[@Handle11571]

I didn't know anyone could make Eddie and Dave sound like shit but this guy managed it

Except that Eddie's talking about how phony the '70s was He's already a soy boy if I understand the definition correctly And if he is, so fucking what?

[@veritas4364]

Man, you're a grown man with graying hair who uses the expression "soy boy" unironically. You got bigger problems than Eddie Vedder.

Eddie is mimicking Stipe
