Im just about 16 years old and ive been infatuated by mark and his band for about a year now. Man, I’ve had plenty of ups and downs, just as anyone else has, but theres been too many memories to count where these songs were playing in my headphones giving me that same euphoric vibe im sure yall are all familiar with. Walking around the streets of my small town alone with my bag of shake and a tin can filled with holes sitting under bridges and watching the cars pass by. Makes me sad that not too many kids in this age of mindless distractions are ever gonna find these same feelings, But in the end it is what it is. Watching these old recordings and listening to the old demo tapes makes me really wish i could have been born just a couple decades earlier to be there and see it in the flesh. Marks music really helps me to get my mind off of all the little troubles of adolescence, and all the big troubles of childhood trauma, and all the other anxieties of the world ending up in flames, and to be fair, thats not even an irrational fear, with all of the stuff coming out about aliens being real, and the multiple threats of nuclear and world war, the fact you cant go outside without carrying because of how many crazy fucked up and drugged up people there are on the once-were safe streets these days, the bullshit propaganda on the news. I could go on and on, but whats the use. I hate the people in this world sometimes, but I love individuals. And mark was definitely an individual who defined and keeps defining much of my teenage years so far. Man, what a damn good musician. Cheers to all the people who still listen to this somewhat hidden and forgotten gem of human expression.

[@carlospereira54]

My guess is we are a lot of others experiencing the same emotions. Sometimes preferring live hidden an apart of the normal train of existence of our fucking developed society. I can't count the afternoon hours I just spend seating in my living room having tea or a beer and quietly listen a band's album. Actually, politics talk, footballers and internet influencers doesn't matter.

[@MrTroyDouglas]

I saw them at Luna Park in Beverly Hills in 92 or 93...this video brings back a flood of good memories. Mark said he had good news and bad news...the bad news was they would be playing their last song...the good news was that it would be 30 minutes long! And then proceeded to play Mother. So great man.

[@JeremReutebuch]

They gave their all - so few bands can go out there and take on three hours. Kozelek is a madman

Meolox here. The only reason I uploaded it in 19 parts is because way back when I uploaded it 14 years ago KZbin had a 10 minute per video limit there was no option but to split it into parts. Thanks for the full upload :) was surprised to see my old meolox username in the description

[@samferguson9171]

Hell yeah, glad I found this. I saw Mark solo at the Circle Bar in New Orleans about ten years ago. He seemed a bit miffed to be playing such a small room to a bunch of nerdy hipster dudes. But the show was great. Mesmerizing beauty.

[@scottflores2502]

Shed so many tears to this recording.

[@odw_99]

Uncle Joe is genuinely one of my favourite tracks ever written, I don’t even know why

[@aazreaal]

Probably because it's a perfect mix of americana and deathly despair, ripe for staring out a window in your studio apartment resenting the world

[@carlospereira54]

It souns someone who feels with no expectations and unknown, lonely, needing answers about what train of life suits to him... not at all accepting that life. This was Mark existence

I can't believe they put on a fucking a 3 hour show.

[@lukerogers151]

I wish I was there to witness the perfection.

[@sosadheis]

Adhesive Boi that was the beautiful standard for RHP shows back then. Even impromptu shows like Hotel Utah were 3 hours. It was funny to watch the crowd thin out as the set dragged on.

[@DanielDavissynthman]

I was at the 3 hour show this same year in San Fran. They called it the Three Hour Tour. Best show I've ever seen. Mark did a ripping electric solo on almost every single song. The version of Evil was almost Melvinsesque in its chunk.

[@ryanbusse5374]

Mark played 3 hours as Sun Kil Moon in Boston this year when I saw him

i can understand why he was so annoyed by crowd talking, red house painters songs are slow and very personal, hard to play when there are people talking or making noise.

So I know Old Ramon was apparently in limbo for years but I find it really interesting that River was performed here in ‘95, six years prior to the album’s release - something else interesting I think is that despite ocean beach coming out this year, they didn’t play anything from it and instead played songs from blue guitar which came out the next year (early versions I suppose) - really glad to see this all though

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

very odd timing indeed

[@samsetzer1111]

also something to note- i read somewhere that none of the other band members play on blue guitar and that it was mean to be a solo record but the label forced his hand and called it an RHP record. not sure if it's true or not...
