Page in the Park - Steven Page performs at Regent's Park 13 August

[@beccajanestclair]

UK Folks! Check Twitter!! Steve has announced a UK date in Glasgow in November 2017 with "more to come"!

[@marcuscrumpton8568]

Have I missed it?

[@perryjohnson8213]

I don’t think these people realize or appreciate how LUCKY they are to be sitting within feet of a legend, for real. Amazingly talented musician and vocalist. No autotune, just raw talent unlike many of the current bands. Very very cool. Wish I was there for that!!!

[@beccajanestclair]

Trust me, we knew! It was all spur of the moment organised on Twitter the night before, so a very small group of people.

[@TheClownfight]

wow. he sounds as good, if not better, than ever. Show what a talent he is. no overdubs or fancy microphones or retakes... just a guy with a guitar. amazing

[@bikkies]

he still completely has his voice. Top stuff.

[@melrossi]

Saw Steven twice this year (2024). I feel so incredibly lucky to enjoy his music, singing and humor ❤

[@Beaut_Beau]

This man's voice is magic to my ears, been listening to the barenaked ladies for most of my life :)

[@TristanandIsolt]

This is the kind of concert venue I love. Under God's sky with incredible scenery all around.

[@timyewchyn4337]

This man is still very gifted, I had been fortunate to see one of his last performances as bnl lead vocalist. After following this band from inception to end I was distraught.. I truly love watching and listening to him, I have not followed the band since his departure.. But so excited for the Juno's this weekend..an actual reunion. . I won't be missing 1 minute of that.. much respect to you Mr. Page

[@realphilg]

I really wish they would just all get back together.All are gifted,but without each other it's not the same.I am from that area,and heard from several people that this guy is just such a rude ass dick.I believe yes he is esentric. a dick? maybe I don't know,but for me I just wish they all put ego's aside,and go on with the amazing music they have made over the years.

[@Aliveandkick8]

I got one of those yellow covered indy tapes and all albums since as a big fan from the very start. Gordon was my life at the time, including the green dress. My kids grew up listening over and over. We could probably sing the songs in our sleep. Keep on rocking' Steven.

[@CraigStCyrPlus]

I'm still in love with the McDonald's Girl.

[@moehio]

Such a talent. Can't just dig the BNL without him.

[@centralinfo200]

Back watching this again in 2021. A wonderful intimate moment in time. Thanks for uploading. Anyone else go to the BNL concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London twenty years ago in 2001? Wonderful memories...

[@CraigStCyrPlus]

2022.

[@andrewhare559]

I saw BNL at the Dome in Brighton 1996 !!!

[@robhollands9961]

I adore this mans voice. I cant believe he can still hit that high Break Your Heart note. I didn't realise till I watched this video that these are all my favourite songs sans Blame It On Me, Crazy and Tonight is the Night. Steve is so wonderful live, BNL are missing a bit of that soul now, I know it's unlikely but I'd love to see them perform together again. Maybe something like this? This is how Pete and Carl of the Libertines got back togehter. I wish I could've been there.

[@beccajanestclair]

Yeah....not likely. At least, not for many many many more years. Lots of bad blood still.

[@studlyhungwell]

How is this 6yrs old and only getting to me now? 😂

[@michaelflanagan1461]

I've seen Steve twice the last year and hes amazing. I come back and watch this vid a lot because I think it shows how amazing he is. I never really felt the same about BNL without Steve. But follow Steve a lot

[@MsCapricorn68]

❤

[@mikdog0755]

I've been a BNL fan for decades. I love nearly everything they've put out, from their wonky older stuff to their newer stuff, but I cannot deny that he was the heart of the group, vocally, if not musically. I still enjoy their music, but it's absolutely not the same without him. I don't see it happening, but I pray for a reunion, if not now, maybe 5 years down the line. But until then I'm going to focus on him rather than them, because he is the heart and soul of so much of the music I loved growing up.

[@beccajanestclair]

Very doubtful even in 5 years time. I think Kevin still talks to him, but I don't think any of the other guys do. Personally, I love BNL with or without Steve. It's funny, because Kevin wasn't an original member of BNL and neither was Tyler, yet no one says BNL isn't the same without Andy!

[@amandahuginkiss4098]

He also wrote the majority of their songs.

[@shrimpo88]

It annoys me that the audience don’t realise how good they’ve got it

[@michaelbell75]

What a good boy, Break your heart and Brian Wilson! 3 of the greatest BNL songs of all time!

[@ThatguyUkn0wfr0mS0mewhere]

I would disagree but after hearing Steve sing I can see it now. Damn is his voice amazing!

[@mickeymoniak8205]

People walking past are thinking...Man that busker is pretty good and has quite a few people over there.

[@pammiefaye]

such an awesome voice.

[@MikeBurkard]

Holy Hell... totally agree!!

[@davidtyler9524]

Victoria, British Columbia needs a little Steven Page. Thanks for sharing!

[@daninpeterborough8867]

I first saw BNL play at our high school, Steven sounds just as amazing all these years later

[@mikeshaffer4912]

This is an amazing video! I only got to see them once at an all day, multi band festival in Nampa ID and I happened to go up to a tent in one corner of the venue and said hi to all of them (kicking myself I didn't have a CD with me). Their set was amazing!

[@Johneriffic]

Great voice. It would be nice to see the lads back together for good. Great Scarborough band.

[@peivandryks945]

Beautiful. I love the fact he wanted to be with the people in different places to share with them. I love Steven and the BNL, even if they're not the same as a quartet.

[@stevemilani6334]

Loved this! I didn't know Steve was such a good guitarist; lesson learned. I really hope the Ladies get back together one day for good!

[@stratdx]

Incredible. He was born to do this, with others or without.

[@s1nd3r3llee]

Great performer, writer, and vocalist. Always. Rock On Steven! ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@JohnSmith-dy8gz]

Great tunes

[@Tardisntimbits]

Gods, I am so envious you were privy to an impromptu concert. He's been wonderful live everytime I've been to see him. Thank you for uploading this, it makes my heart happy.

[@beccajanestclair]

I was so glad I managed to get to it...I hadn't seen him solo ever and I'm glad I went.

[@MsChiknnugget1751]

An amazing musician. I really wish that the group could reconcile 😢

[@sls1975golf]

Voice is just insane.....better than ever.

[@cwesley2005]

This is my new favorite KZbin video! Thanks for posting reminds me of the late 90's and good times.

[@keithrice9253]

wow awesome im 62 saw the BNL 3 times wpg folk fest. the walker theatre and wpg concert hall. i watched them grow, steve you are the backbone of the BNL. MAN the voice of BNL. LOVE YOU MAN.. im still loving ENID BEST video from the much music era. with erica ehm.

[@beneneuman]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome!

[@althewhite9756]

Amazing voice!

[@jeaninewilliamson1893]

Loved this!!!!!❤

[@medw7013]

Steven was the main ingredient in the Barenaked ladies as yeast is to Bread. You take away either ingredient and they both flop.

[@adamsfunnyfilms]

This is soooo cool! I’ve always wanted meet this guy. How could people just be walking by without checking this out

[@swinnsongs]

Thanks for this, Rebecca. I remember Steven say that he was going to do this, but I'm up in the far north of England - great to get the chance to see some of it! I love Steven's solo stuff - "Over Joy" is a classic.

[@beccajanestclair]

Yeah, I'm in Lincoln, but decided I had to come down! (Ok, not Far North, but Farther North than London. LOL)

[@ADIDASects]

Such an underrated singer and songwriter. Runs circles around contemporary dudes and gals.

[@bornn68]

break your heart is always pretty darn amazing eh?

[@JeffMcLaughlinHomes]

That was great, thanks for posting!

[@twagner5840]

Thank you for sharing! BNL is shit without him! He was the voice behind them!

[@ManuelOrellana]

BNL is good without him, they were great with him. I saw them live last week and they still put on an amazing show. I think we can all agree they're a better band together than they are apart.

[@Roamancing]

Totally awesome!

[@adamsfunnyfilms]

This made my day and, things are not going good for everybody but this...made my day. Thanks for posting

[@resbalonso]

What? How did he not get mobbed??? People walking in the background don't even know!

[@beccajanestclair]

It was kind of funny. I didn't get video of it, but someone else probably did of the accordion busker who interrupted Alcohol and then stuck around thinking that Steve was just a busker with a crowd. A few people had to give the guy money to get him to leave. And there were people on the other side of the path who sat down to eat their lunch and listen and I don't think they knew who he was either!

[@brendaneckert1572]

They should have jammed on I'll Be That Girl!

[@aaqilian5.085]

there is so much talent in London you can find amazing musicians on any given corner. Like NY or Nashville. Raging talent is so common

[@eVreckd]

What in incredible talent! and such a loss to the band! and the fans! Steve does not do a lot of touring which I wish he would do more of. I still see BNL all the time but there's an aspect of loss and a reminder of what could be. Thanks for the great vid!

[@lzdoritos9826]

Outstanding....pissed off missed it..so many people walking by sold talent.

[@sigmundjester]

Without his voice TBNL we’re never the same, and should probably have changed their name to The Slightly Underdressed Women.

[@katecriley1350]

I would have freaked if I was waking through the a park and saw him singing

[@johnbates2430]

Waking in a park is always a freaky experience for me.

[@MrDeanos]

Superb!

[@thunder____]

That cajon player on Call and Answer and Brian Wilson was absolutely on point, and the second guitarist on Call and Answer was a very nice touch as well. Any chance you have a recording of the entirety of that Call and Answer performance? I never before realized how good that arrangement would sound for that song, but I'm blown away.

[@amclmusic]

Hey! That was me on the guitar! It was an amazing day - I've got the full performance on my youtube that somebody kindly filmed for me

[@thunder____]

@@amclmusic Thanks for the reply, I'll check it out! And I'm incredibly jealous, I'd love to play a song with Steve someday; if I could have my pick, it'd be "Straw Hat" as it's my favorite BNL song

Thanks for that. It was awesome.

[@chrisdaniel1339]

Some artists care about their fans that is the vibe I get from Steven Page, he did not have to do this concert for the fans, he could have played in a venue and made lots of money, however he gave of his time for the enjoyment of others. He sounds fantastic, what an awesome experience for those people.

[@beccajanestclair]

@@chrisdaniel1339 it was completely spur of the moment with a borrowed guitar. He was here on holiday and several of us were tweeting back and forth with him and he told us to pick a place and find him a guitar!

[@chrisdaniel1339]

@@beccajanestclair To have a small gathering with SP, that is epic. Great choice with one of the guitars being a Taylor Dreadnought, sounds fantastic. Liam on the beatbox was recording as well and he has Old Apartment on his video.

Do you follow Steve on Twitter? He posted it on his Twitter and BNLUK did as well (and might have mentioned it on their Facebook too). You should follow both to stay updated!

[@Eminate2121]

You seem to have missed The Old Apartment.

:( I spent ages looking at dates on his site wondering when he'll next appear in London... He does so, and I miss it. Life

[@beccajanestclair]

He told us he'd be back to do a small tour, but obviously, it depends on logistics. If you follow him on Twitter and check BNLUK, both will probably announce dates if they happen.

[@philipkreft731]
