Barenaked Ladies - The Old Apartment (Live)

[@kevinquayle2135]

Many, many years ago. I had a friend ask if I would go see a band called "Barenaked ladies" with her. Being a life long metal head I had never heard of them, or any of their songs. Pre-show I couldn't believe the energy in the building. When the lights went down the place erupted, as much excitement as I had ever seen. Being used to the bombast of Heavy Metal shows I had my expectations set very low. These guys were nothing short of amazing. Left there a life long fan of their music.

[@lostsignalspodcast]

im a canadian metalhead. but i always have time for barenaked ladies. its smart, its extremely well played. and its fun. sometimes i need a break from the heavy

[@fixminet1593]

They're frickin' awesome.

[@davidmatthews1710]

Long live all music!!🤘🤘

[@msbettyrocker]

I salute you.

[@vikingblood0408]

It's good to expand your musical enjoyment!

[@TristanandIsolt]

Almost none of us have Broke into the Old Apartment, but I bet so many of us would love to. Something about that idea just reaches into my soul.

[@bikesnboards91]

I'm moving out of the apartment I lived in for six years when starting a new life/career for myself in Vermont and feeling so nostalgic/sad about it. This comment is perfect

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@bikesnboards91 Thanks. You get what I'm talking about. Brilliant minds thinking alike.

[@jestice75]

No need to be moronic, it's obviously the nostalgia of the past and simpler times.

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@jestice75 Yep doing it would be moronic, but if I could do it without consequences I would.

[@skeltonpitts7121]

I did. She had left me a year prior. She was awful but I didn't see it in the moment. I'm married now to someone else who treats me right and gives me happiness every day

[@canadiandeplorable2087]

Reminds me of my old apartment with my 2 buddies back in the 90’s. Seemed like it sucked back then but how I wish I could go back. Those were the best days of my life.

[@dougc5258]

same here...reminds me of college

[@canadiandeplorable2087]

@@dougc5258 Hey Doug. I wish that I would have realized it back then. Amazing how fast time moves forward. I’m 3 years away from retirement now. Still partying. Freedom 55 for me. Hope your life is going great. Take care brother 😃

[@Michael-rh5oh]

Amen !! Reminds me of the same thing.

[@savagehenry6531]

Paying the rent with empties lol I know what you mean

[@busterbrown6992]

I enjoy hearing all the stories this comes with... first apartment, abusive relationships, childhood homes, death, growing with someone. It is quite universal

[@6BURG9]

One of Page’s best vocal performances. This song belongs to him.

[@guinnessa5834]

You are so right

[@davidhandysides8800]

Just not the same band without Steve.

[@TristanandIsolt]

Ed has a good voice. Steven has an iconic magical voice.

[@charlottejones8903]

I agree

[@rampagejaxxsonAoooooo]

He is what makes the barenakedladies unique ,that voice !!!!

[@medw7013]

Back in the days when the Barenaked Ladies were a great band!

[@mrmisfit635]

One of the best bands in Canadian history. I want Steven back

[@jenniferbanal6816]

So do I!

[@JoeStoppinghem]

Agree, but what is best for the guys. Still makes me sad to think of the breakup.

[@peterpena9941]

This song reminds me of living in New York City with my ex-wife , our crazy dog and my beautiful daughter . Those times were the best in my life !

[@johnaustin3187]

I look forward every day to a new Jesse tune! Maximum respect and huge appreciation for you dude!!!

[@TristanandIsolt]

I just love them singing I want them back. Something about that line.

[@davecarsley8773]

GREAT mix on this. Thank you, sound Engineer!!

[@laurarominger2073]

Best live show I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a shitload of concerts. Miss you Steve

[@silverness320]

he was a major part of the sound that made them unique. The voice isn't the same and neither is the band

[@ryman7884]

Agreed. Ive seen BNL 8 times. Fantastic shows.

[@michaelkatz4675]

Genesis is a better live show. Actually Genesis is THE best live show

[@georgeamink7090]

Love to see band members smile, they are enjoying themselves!

[@stevebohme7939]

Killer, awesome performance 😎

[@sheldonmetler8239]

26 years ago the love of my life introduced me to this band during one if our cross country road trips, great memories great times! I lost my girlfriend to lupus few years back and miss her more each day but when I want to smoke I put on barebacked ladies and for a moment go back in time. Miss you babe more then words can say

[@shannonmccartney254]

I want them back

[@henrycervantezzz5566]

Gawd the 90s had the best music.

[@mikesokol7232]

years ago b4 kids, my wife took me to a BNL show. awesome! I especially remember 4 nuns rocking out on the floor-front row. priceless

[@jakebowski02]

Awesome.

[@davidrendall7195]

The girlfriend who introduced me to The Barenaked Ladies shared that old apartment with me - a two up two down in the first housing belt of London. We've got a much larger house now on the side of a hill and she most definitely loves me and keeps me warm. Me and the children. The tug of that old house is still keen.

[@strumalong3224]

Great tune! Still strumming along in 2021!

[@miketran777]

This song came out when I was 32 and my kids were in middle school…Freaking loved this song and BNL’s! Cannot believe the crowd is not rocking the house down during this song!

[@stephanieknight9404]

I am going to see them with my hubby for the first time today. They had to postpone this show for two summers. I have been a fan since forever, but hubby hasn't seen them live. So excited, they are such a fun band

[@TheHOULES]

This is great. Real talent.

[@chasec9197]

Sounds so damn good. It's better than the studio version but just as perfect in every way.

[@hhhguy2004]

How is the neighbor doing how is her temper this year i turned up your tv and and stomped floor just for fun 😂😂 favorite part

[@whitehh15]

The energy that they start this tune with is just amazing.

[@Shanz876]

How they all looked at each other. I’m just…this is where I live

[@davidmatthews1710]

I still have my huge and awesome 90’s CD collection.

[@danadoxtater683]

Me too. But they're all partied the fuck out. Ha ha. Have a great day!

[@MrDagund]

They were so good.feed off on each other's talents. Why o why did the break up .miss this

[@penguin44ca]

Because one wanted to move on, less touring and maybe grow as an artist. The other is Ed. The soul left with Page.

[@jeffgriffin5550]

Some of the best lyrics I've ever heard. "I only came here to talk...:

[@escapemac]

This song reminds me of the first place I lived with my ex-wife. I still drive by it on my way home from hockey games with my current wife.

[@JayceFace12]

"Only memories, fading memories, blending in to dull tableau." One of my favorite lyrics of all time that only gets more relatable with every passing year.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Stumbled across these guys in 1998 and had to play catch-up. One of the truly great bands.

[@EmersonBosworthJr]

This song is the soundtrack of my genx life!

[@sergeantfury785]

GREAT live performance! Most don't know hard it is to sound good AND perform good.

[@billybio6840]

Just bookmarking this for myself to click on quick..love his voice here especially 2:10

Saw them at horde festival 98. Fun times. Even met a beautiful woman there. I was 17 . Wish I could do it again. So fun

[@gdbriot1162]

Love this song.

[@medw7013]

The Barenaked Ladies wouldn't be as barenaked as they are now without Page

[@michaelkey9149]

Ed, without a doubt, a great writer and performer. Steven though, provides the passion. I miss the passion from my favourite Caknuckleheads

[@robertrussell9336]

Well put, me too

I love BNL, so not slagging them, but something at the end, Page reminded me of Jermaine (Flight of the Conchords).

Pine Knob in Clawson, Michigan. I saw them play there in August 2001. I could tell by the support beams & “the hill” in the far back. Saw many bands there, especially Rush which is a bit of a small venue for them.

"Beg him back" like Page wasn't the one who got caught with coke. Have to appreciate the other members

Steven was the backbone of the BNL. Ed just came for the ride.

Saw them twice in the last two years. Page was good, but the other guys don't get the respect they deserve. You would be surprised at how similar they sound without him.

He's just out with the boys at the old pub. Hey said fuck it im going in. A couple too many or maybe not enough. He and his wife/girlfriend have clearly bought a house on The Danfourth. This is not about them fighting. He's just hammered and reminiscing. She is either just at their home waiting for him to get home or shes out with friends. He's just loaded and high lol
