Cracker Live at World Cafe Live (full complete show) - Philadelphia, PA - 01/13/2017

[@tronic5x5]

Stop saying this band is under rated. At the core of the MANY EPIC TUNES are die-hard fans who love every piece of Cracker!

[@jonpratt7327]

I'm 46 years old, I've listened to Cracker for years but I guess I never noticed how good they are. This is a beautiful performance,

[@flatsixx]

That’s me. I was class of ’93 and listened to these guys through the nineties, but only in recent years have I come to fully appreciate how incredible they are. Lowery is a uniquely talented songwriter with a distinctive voice, and Hickman blends so many cool, quintessentially American styles-surf rock, rockabilly, Western, and rock-into something truly masterful. I hope to see them in spring of ‘25 in Georgia.

[@MaryStapleton-wi9et]

I love this version of Cracker! The slide and Bryan on bass is perfect :-) Play it weird, Pistol lol! Seriously one of my favorite bands. I've seen them a bunch-always evolving.

[@PaddySean1]

I have loved this awesome band for 30 years. I love the way each musician is given or taking lol a chance to bring you higher with their skills! Magical!

[@beezerlm]

It's sad to think many people only recognize the song "Low". Soooo much talent here!

[@billclements390]

But without "Low," The great ballads would have been sung but unheard ;)

[@sadsosad9691]

What about teen angst? That one made the round too....

[@johnhutchins825]

Amen!

[@Skybolt211]

Naw, I've known all the songs for most of my life, one of the first bands I saw live when I was younger... have seen them several times... but, I will admit, they are usually about half-way through One Fine Day before I realize they aren't doing a cover of Mary Jane's Last Dance... lol

[@dukewilford6523]

I was at this show, and it was great! At one point they played Border Ska > Kashmir > Border Ska > Hava Nagila > Roundabout > Hava Nagila without missing a beat. It was a lot of fun.

[@TubeRJF]

Great live footage! I've been a die hard "Crumb" for years. Seen this band 3 times live. They always kick ass live. Had a chance to meet David and Johnny after a show. Really cool guys!! They enjoy speaking with fans. Friendly, outgoing. Their recent album "Berkeley to Bakersfield" is one of the greatest albums ever. These guys have been around for so long and just continue to create great new music.

[@hoedlhg]

that's the way it is - cool guys, fine music, great shows ... gotta luv 'em

[@ronemory7149]

Let's hope they make another album it's been awhile!

[@Auburn23Tigers]

Damn, this band is tight! Guy playing lead guitar is a badass! Fantastic songs, thanks for sharing!!

[@hoedlhg]

johnny hickman on lead guitar, you are damn right, what a guitarist! and a decent guy, too; been talking to him two times after a gig in vienna, austria

[@richardlecomte6839]

johnnie hickman

[@johnhutchins825]

Johnny is one of the best pickers in recent history. IMHO. He don't need no whammy bar.

[@clovett66]

Great guitar player! Absolutely one of my favorites. Definitely the most underrated of my favorites.

[@kevmac1230]

Coming to a small venue near me in July.Shoud be fun.

[@stevenospam4216]

Bravo! Cracker and friends, you made my weekend............again! Thanks!

[@johnflushing9328]

Cracker Van Beethoven! This has great sound, it would make a good live album.

[@JMMjamm]

Saving this. Fave band. My gosh. Most excellent. And Almond Grove!

[@goratgo1970]

All their songs get me some way, but Almond grove - Wow

[@markcraven3842]

Amazing band. At one point in time I could have sworn they did a Lou Reed cover and I could never find it. Fortunate to see them live in Ft Lauderdale.

[@BaronGuldbech]

THANK. YOU. , THANK. YOU. , THANK. YOU. 🌝🍀🌞🌻🌟✨🤗🤩☀️

[@alibishop6719]

Thank you for posting...i love this band and there's a distinct shortage of live footage. This has more than restored the balance for this fan.

[@BaronGuldbech]

THANK YOU. , THANK. YOU , THANK. YOU.

[@bobl310]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Hope to see them someday.

[@stevelafler]

These lads like a fine wine--one of them REAL GOOD FORTIFIED ones!

[@jack852494]

Most excellent!

[@BaronGuldbech]

I. AM. GRATEFUL. 🎩 🎸

[@talonraph6524]

ahhh, 2017 good year

[@argentorangeok6224]

Been listening to these guys since '94. I don't do concerts, but I'd definitely like to see them.

[@steved8878]

Just saw these guys live in Nashville. Still incredible.

[@stephenzadrozny1203]

Thanks for the excellent recording & actually panning over to Pistol at his parts! Great job & thanks for sharing!

[@JMMjamm]

My favorite band!!!

[@davidbyerly9846]

Hell yeah

[@ryan07jeep]

Came for Low, stayed because of the talent.

[@FPVFULLSEND]

Yup, a common refrain. Glad you came, and more glad you could appreciate the band for so much more. Love seeing them in January in Philly every year except 2021.

[@SquiggyWigginz]

I want in to this band. 😍 David was so cool at T Leaf 🍃

[@djbrownsville]

"Almond Grove" is interesting in that it might be the saddest song ever from Cracker, but when played at this tempo, it puts extra juice in my giddyup.

[@fishersofpurgatory3717]

Agreed, though it's still tough to get through without at a least a few tears.

[@djbrownsville]

@@fishersofpurgatory3717 for sure. i lost my oldest son to OD couple years ago. fuck fentanyl.

[@hopeskietv9251]

Craker is like a diamond only a few got it 😊

[@herebutileft]

Can't wait to see them live.

[@Pancho308]

Catch a Camper Van Beethoven show if you can. David is in that group as well.

[@goratgo1970]

One fine day...

[@Min-xm8tp]

Love this Band, come on Guys..get yourselves over to the UK. you never know, you might find a couple of Euro Trash Girls....each!

[@janetrains6137]

I for one have been touch by a smooooooth ......music maker Ms. Sonny Barton Didn't want spelling of my name to throw you,

[@hankstamper4000]

I think one my favorite shows I ever saw was actually a Cracker Van Beethoven combo at Bonnaroo... 2004-5ish. Segel, Krummenacher and Immerglück joining in with Johnny and David. Don't remember who the drummer was. Fantastic sound! Matchstick Men requires a good string player and benefitted greatly from Segel and, as we observe here in One Fine Day, lends something to Cracker too. They played a mix of both bands' songs and a little louder than usual as I recall--lots of other stages around. My wife even liked it and she couldn't stand anything remotely resembling Country Music. Sadly Bud was the only beer offered except I think it was a Red Hook (Bud owned) stand opened up briefly before it was thronged, all kegs drained in like 5 minutes by thirsty beer lovers desperate for anything other than crap American lager.

[@Fetherko]

For my money it doesn't get any better than Johnny Hickman solos on Eurotrash Girl

[@johnhutchins825]

One of the best bands most people have never heard. Competing with Tom Petty in those days wasn't easy and these guys didn't get the airplay they deserved. It ain't gonna suck itself.....

[@matthewschneider4883]

❤

[@formula1fancolorado632]

What Fun!

[@mrbeastie2011]

Johnny is to cool! All of them are great! but I play also and he's fuckin cool man

[@hoedlhg]

Hickman fucking RULEZ

[@herebutileft]

Love this band . Wanted to see them when they came to Toronto but I had a bad cold. & couldn't go. 🥶🤢😭

[@ronemory7149]

Check out Johnny Hickman's 2 solo albums!

[@hoedlhg]

@@ronemory7149 as a fan of hicker, me, I have already bought those...

[@daviiiiiiiid8]

great band man

[@susanparker767]

✨🙏🏼✨

[@clearancemacdonald7635]

The audio quality of the other CRACKER LIVE, U-tube posts has been poor. This one sounds fantastic, fidelity does really matter Eh❓

[@johnvetter6222]

They need to go bowling more. 8-)

[@jack852494]

The last rock n roll band on the planet.

[@MikeRangus-b8p]

How many times did they play Friday Cheers in Richmond Va

[@ericsilberstein667]

Great alt band.

[@michaellelle4447]

Nice opening from Dave and the guys. Never liked low much, surprised no Big Dipper here? Huge camper influence show,teen angst, well I guess the world doesn’t need another folk singer😜. He still sounds the same As he did at first ave in mpls here in early 90,s. Great

[@brendanhutton7280]

David Lowry for President.!

[@simpsons721]

Camper Van Beethoven

[@Bluenosegrows]

33:00 that guitar tune

[@CWard-1616]

Not too bad with a $200 guitar amp

[@tushfinger]

59:45 health check

[@Burleism]

It'll all be complete when these Cats share a venue with Widespread.............. Please baby Jesus, make it happen

[@jamesmentzer1917]

It did happen already. Cracker opened for Panic at what is now the Jiffy Lube venue in Bristow, VA. Was at Panic the night before in North Carolina and we left early the next morning to catch both acts on the way home at that venue in VA. There was apparently a massive accident on 95 North and no one was there for Cracker, which was a real shame. www.tourdatesearch.com/tourdates/artist/768/cracker?p=25
