Jellyfish "The King Is Half Undressed" LIVE on The Bammies (Bay Area Music Awards) 1991

[@SPJBR]

I always thought these guys are what the Beatles would be if they had been born in the Seventies.

[@vzuljevic]

My favourites band of all times, are the most underrated bands ever: XTC, Jellyfish. Kings X

[@colinmiles27]

Try Cardiacs. Seriously.

[@robertgeroux1018]

every musician I know loves this band

[@edpasqualin6507]

Lots of talent in this band!

[@kebonhawk1081]

You have got to travel down the rabbit hole on Jellyfish. All of the members have, and still are, creating great music. It'll never be Jellyfish but you hear the spirit in them. Moog Cookbook, Imperial Drag, Jason Falkner, Sextus, Umajets, Puffy AmiYumi along with all their contributions and productions of other artists.

[@elkthroer]

One of my all-time favorite bands. I worked for BAM back then and got to hear a cassette demo. Fortunate enough to be at this performance.

[@williambellende3264]

Saw them in the early '90s. It still astounds me that so few people know about them.

[@ThePsychicSasquatch]

The best live band I have ever seen. Incredible.

[@jeffryb]

Saw them in 1993 and I agree - I was blown away the whole night.

[@DavidEspinell]

It's 2021 and I can't believe I just discovered this band!! Kudos to the great drummer Brent Fitz from Slash's band for mentioning this band. Now I am hooked!!

[@Clappers66]

Been on my vinyl, CD and now Spotify playlist since it came out. Epic tune.

[@itsonlyluv]

I was 35 when Jellyfish hit the seen, I fell in love with their music. I could not believe no one head of them. I call my radio station WMMR in philly and i was told they would NEVER play anything by them. Were they black balled? and Why? Come on Andy, lets show then in 2021

[@tonycheck9098]

I saw these guys in Chicago at the Metro in 1990 opening for the Soup Dragons... blew them away, bought album next day!! Belllybutton is still one of my top 10 favorite albums. This video brings me back and they are still as awesome as I remembered!

[@chrisnewton1701]

Redd Kross, XTC, Jellyfish, Sloan……. These are the bands that matter

[@GhostfaceGriller-hd7jw]

Best live version of this song IMHO

[@paulrosenberg4227]

I was at the show. Fab evening! Another Bay area band that deserved better: Psychefunkapus

[@freebirdmcchester8257]

I first heard jellyfish playing live on my local radio station on my 16th b-day on the way to get my drivers license. After being blown away by there 4 part harmonies live. I bought there CD and was lucky enough to catch them live 4x I believe. To bad they came to an end. This takes me back to a simpler time. Thanks for posting.

[@edwardbliss8931]

Jason Faulkner and Roger Manning are now in Beck's touring band

[@theblueoctopus4494]

Chris Manning was my fav.

[@GetUpTheMountains]

My preferred Jellyfish lineup.

[@FreedomKat]

Always remember seeing them live at The Edge. Was such a fun show. They blew bubbles into the audience.

[@cocktailsfortwo5660]

Phenomenal. Fantastic. Stunning. One of my all-time fave bands. Thanks for posting! I think it's telling how there're 104 "Likes" and NO "Dislikes" - Good to know that some people's taste isn't only in their mouths.

[@martinholden2281]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

[@greenmidgetcafe]

So good ! Way ahead of their time ! Awesome band!

[@blake310_6]

Blue Autumns, Sunshine Kisses

[@pnwheelpop]

Great find! I've never seen this before.

[@THECLARENCES]

KILLER song!!! KILLER band!!! xoxo The Clarences

[@janavery6852]

Great band

[@ポークビーンズ-p5o]

i love this band🦋🦄🌳☄️🧬

[@fernetpunker]

I remember the early 90´s and this song and band - pretty good.

[@stratboy518]

Andy Sturmer and Roger Manning, the Lennon and McCartney of the 90s. Jellyfish should have been huge, but then grunge happened... Covid watching in Hawaii 10/14/20 😷🤙🏼

[@adimgoodboy]

among the best underrated alternative 90s band

[@jeffkile5015]

I love how the first sus chord at 2:03 is unbalanced but the second one is perfect. Was Shalom Aberle on the board?

[@226jimbo]

Yes

[@roywally9856]

thank you. i have never scene this before..

[@xlordbobx]

Amazing happy to see this

[@lioncourt1770]

Terrific :)

[@artysanmobile]

They brought all the excitement. It’s a shame so few of their live performances were properly mixed. It is painful fighting to hear them in this.

[@iancrawford4546]

I literally weep every time I realise I don't own the 25 Jellyfish albums which should've followed Spilt Milk. Well, not literally, that'd be stupid. But you know what I mean - all that talent never fully shared with the world.

[@jimwalker5404]

WTF you wouldn't see it at any other awards ceremonies????????????????

[@DJJezzebella]

Jellyfish - The King Is Half Undressed So this Is where She stands At night On this Cold av- -enue Of lights The reds And greens But most- -ly reds For you He's Stopping In see- -ing him She knows Him less His stick is wet She's half- undressed And all in all They're both Obsessed With so Much Nothing I know it's hard For you to see What lies behind's a mystery If words could speak They'd mean even less Aaah aaah aaah When the king is half-undressed She dots Her eyes With a smile- -y face A work Of art In all But taste The fool Deserves The bed He's made Where Idiots Slumber Divine She is To aire His fate A crack Off smile Through all This hate Means nothing more In this nervous state Of so Much Nothing I know it's hard For you to see The truth behind is misery If words could speak They'd mean even less Aaah aaah aaah When the king is half-undressed Blue autumns Sunshine kisses Hearts and flowers Broken wishes I know it's hard For you to see What lies behind's a mystery If words could speak They'd mean even less Aaah aaah aaah When the king is half-undressed I know it's hard For you to see The truth behind is misery If words could speak, They'd mean even less Aaah aaah aaah When the king is half-undressed Copyright: Writer(s): Andy Sturmer, Roger J.

[@j1thom]

Yes, Moistend Mann, you should!

[@MRSHORTFUSE100]

Great,Great band!! Saw them November 1993 In Tempe,Az open for Tears for Fears minus Curt Smith.They put on a great show!!Then when Tears for Fears came at it was a let down as Jellyfish was so much better!!!To bad they did not last long.

[@futurfry]

Should I feel good about liking this?

[@dsnodgrass4843]

Yes, you should.

[@TrackerNeil]

You should feel GREAT! This band was so regrettably overlooked that it makes me sick.

[@chrisl2285]

Honestly, as decent as this sounds....it sucks compared to how they sounded live. The music and vocals were clear as a bell and the harmonies were pitch perfect. An absolutely amazing performance!

[@janavery6852]

saw them in1993?

[@greacen]

How the hell do you go onto the stage after that?
