Spock's Beard - Live at the Whisky in LA 1999 (full)

Spock's Beard performing live at the Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles, California on May 11, 1999. This was captured from a VHS tape sold by the band back in '99 that is long out-of-print (it was never released on DVD). As such, the video quality is lacking, but it's still a great document of the band near the peak of its powers.

In the Mouth of Madness
Skin
Gibberish
Go The Way You Go
The Distance to the Sun
Crack the Big Sky
Ryo's Solo
The Doorway
The Light (w/ drum solo)

Their level of musicianship and dedication to live playing is such an inspiration, thanks for the upload.. They should absolutely release this on DVD or some other medium, but even this quality is so enjoyable :)

[@leinbajr]

I was at the show way back when and can see my goofy self a few times. If I knew they were taping this, I would've stood more in the middle. Love the sound on this, great mix.

[@TheSkyVlad]

[@formu1fan]

Excellent! Thanks a lot!

[@magicpassos]

Thanks!

[@AmanDa-kl7fv]

NDV singing Squonk must have been a Dream come true for him, he's geeking way too hard.

[@TheRealQuester]

This is AMAZING!

[@69stepe]

Thanks to you my friend ;)

[@kingcrimson234]

So I'm not the only person who owns a copy of this VHS. For a while there I was sure I dreamed it up and it didn't actually exist. Thanks for confirming that I'm not really insane.

[@jrsimpkin]

Love that they played Squonk. Nice surprise.

[@Sfz_75]

Excelent band and music!

[@Doomgoggles]

Wow, check out all the 90s.

[@metzingerwasright]

Great show, thanks! Shout out to Mike Keneally and BFD @ 0:05:35 ! Thanks Neal. ;)

[@Hmbldzy99]

Wouldn't mind seeing the Mike Keneally footage from this show. What a pairing!

[@thecotardreality]

Sure, thanks.

[@compy9123]

Great band, great songs, noisy guitarist

[@kingcrimson234]

Even for a VHS, it's poor quality. I'm thinking the band traded in a couple soiled mattresses to get the cameras at some pawn shop.

[@rickvenlo1362]

Kevin Gilbert?

[@user-hs4wo1dv6r]

also do goods.I'm not understand playing to do.it is show do.target is to me in ignore.

[@delimac59]

The Morse brothers are definitely talented. Simply misdirected! Their writings are not mainstream.Not far off,but enough to keep them from attaining any real fame or acknowledgement! I could fix that!

[@Sfz_75]

10:38 wtf?! lol
