Steven Page sings 'Brian Wilson' in NP Music studio

[@CMHixen]

So this was one of my fav songs at 15. 22 years later, it still holds up against anything classic or new.

[@blakegregory969]

5 cheers to the cello player. Awesome playing and backup vocals.

[@LowerLearning]

Wish he was credited in the description.

[@bexlocks]

i love BNL but i miss you. Please bury your differences and get back together. Please be my Christine McVey. Your voice is beautiful and so distinctive!!

[@redandkitty]

+Rebecca Lockwood Couldn't agree more.

[@techetiquette5549]

You said it. It doesn't feel right to here "brian wilson" without eds "late night record shop". BNL still awesome but you can just here something missing. What ever the issue was, it's not worth not being a part of the best band there is (in my opinion).

[@Burnt_clutch89]

He can't return. BNL is signed with Disney. And Steven was caught doing cocaine. Not exactly a Disney image.

[@MarcAndreDuguay]

It's been 8 years... I think they have passed that.

[@Burnt_clutch89]

Marc Duguay I highly doubt Disney has lol

[@bboooobbyy]

He's still got it. Wow.

[@Fretlessness]

Nothing a 90's dude loves more than an Acoustic guitar/ cello duo rendition

[@flyersbully1]

Steven I have PTSD. The BNL have been a big part of my listening recovery. I have so much to say, but will keep it short You guys and you especially have given me something to love. Your music lifts me, inspires and outright keeps me happy. I would love to share my story and military experience with you but not on this post. Anyhow thanks for everything and keep it going. Andre 21 year veteran.

[@Br3ad705]

Still gives me chills when he hits those high notes

[@Jasontyo]

Just saw him at the NYS Fair in 2023. He was great.

Actually I think it's their loss. Ed doesn't have the range or talent

Fuck. my life. Steve, why did you have to break my heart. 1st time I've listened to this man since since 2008....very emotional

[@jpmorgan2363]

If you were my neighbor, I'd take you out and I dont even know you. But you know great music and that's a great response. Peace

Please stay 🙏 together !

[@jasonhogan328]

One of my favourite songs. Steven page has such a strong and unique voice. Reminds me of my youth. Awesome.

[@bradwolfe1980]

Voice of an angel.

[@originalfallinggirl]

There’s something so “every man” about this song, this singer and this time period. I fvcking love it because I’m every [wo]man.

[@eVreckd]

Nothing pulls at the heart strings and provides the chills that Steven Page can provide singing this and so many other incredible songs! If some music genie asked me to make one musical wish, I think bringing Elvis back would be the only thing that would top reuniting BNL! and then only by a close margin!

[@vulcanman64]

eWreckd'd have you ever heard Brian Wilson’s version of this song. He actually sang it in 2000. It was amazing!

Wonderful work by Mr. Page and let's also give some of that up for Kevin Fox on cello-- that's a lot more than your garden variety sideman in this!

[@Bette_Fontenot]

I recognized him immediately LOL I was like, wait- do I really know who he is?! Made this so much better - and it is already amazing.

[@jaynelson8288]

Move over The Roaches and Megan Lovell(Larkin Poe) and Linda Ronstadt(Parton Harris Ronstadt) only a little. Instrumentation!

[@peterjeffery2547]

Pretty amazing to capture the whole thing as a 2-pc

[@SamHaynesMusic]

Who needs a band! They just held you back haha Wonderful to see Steven doing so well solo... well deserved.

[@nesssavaness]

Wow, this version is so beautiful. Lovely.

[@dbeaumontresident847]

Amazing vocals as always. Hope for a BNL reunion.

[@jbunsen]

Just saw Steven and his trio last night (10/7/2018). John Wesley Harding opened with a half-dozen songs. What a great show! See them if you can!

[@Met182]

Can't wait to see him in Manchester in a couple of weeks!! Steven Page in a small venue is going to be incredibly powerful.

[@windwhisprz]

Lucky bastard I would love to be there

[@thomasrayuk]

much love from the UK, Steve. visit us soon!

[@PeckiePeck]

One of the most underrated vocalists/lyricists/songwriters in all of rock and roll.

Yup - that performance is FIRE!

Tell that to Axl Rose.

Why do videographers purposely never film the headstock of the acoustic guitars? If anybody is interested Steven is playing a Guild Traditional Series D-55

[@vincenzotesoro1169]

Weww hewwwyea Drove downtown in the rain one of the best songs ever written specially live you guys are awesome singer

oh the memories!!!!

[@Bonzosbadgeholder]

That's talent!

[@jonathanl2748]

Superb!

[@phnxcmx]

Amazing singer, amazing songwriter, amazing human being. He's means so much to me you'd think we were related but I've actually only met him briefly, just once. I hope he keeps making the music he wants for as long as he's able.

[@phnxcmx]

I just met him two more times and he couldn't have been a more gracious host. He may have lost the marquee name but he's still at the top of his game.

[@11TruthAssassin]

I seen Barenaked ladies live 5 years ago or so , and Steven wasnt there ! :( It would of been wayyy better if Steven was singing Miss ya bud! I heard ya on the Radio all the time when I was a young kid growing up in British Columbia! Keep Rockin \m/

[@deanaf]

That's pretty awesome!

[@blakegregory969]

Absolute truth. They are good musicians but none have this vocal talent.

[@Brasswatchman]

Hard disagree. But I'm not gonna argue over subjective opinions.

[@TheVertDeChine]

You can tell that Page still has some muscle memory that wants to explode with energy that this cellist just doesn’t have or know. Imagine how many times Page, Robertson, and Creeggan played this song together. You can totally hear the missing ingredients.

From one of the last comments I don't think he ever lost it great song fantastic I do also like the barenaked Ladies version actually any version that you do is good keep up the good work I had the privilege of seeing the barenaked Ladies live in Chicago I think it was 2004 maybe 2003 but anyway it was a great great concert I'm a big fan

[@patriceyoung4273]

All I want Is a full BNL reunion. Steve and all

[@hillyardca]

To me your were the voice of BNL Proof in the pudding, after you left the band they never charted again in the US. I just watched the documentary on Cream and Eric Clapton thought their success was the combination of the three's individual talents blended to a higher plane of music that connected with everyone. The list of songs as a group that BNL produced pre Steven leaving and post would support the same environment musically

[@techetiquette5549]

Really nice. To make it perfect, needs a touch of Barenaked Ladies.

[@bradwolfe1980]

Is he currently singing BNL sons he wrote?

All due respect to the cellist, but he is no Jim Creeggan.

All due respect but I'm going to disrespect the cellist.

[@blakegregory969]

Without his voice BNL is nothing....

[@bartlett454]

Best of luck to BNL and no hard feelings but I always thought Steven Page was not only the soul of the band - who are all very talented musicians - but Page was the unique songwriter, singer and wordsmith that made the band special, idiosyncratic, and quirky. Not to mention that his voice is... just beautiful with a tinge of soul. I could listen to it all day. Steven Page has his demons, like I did, and I hope him well... and I get why he struck out on his own. Shit, calling yourself, "Bare Naked Ladies" is quirky and will get you noticed in your twenties back in the early 90s but, gatdamn... trying to pull that off when you are fifty and have a family?... cripes... I dunno even what to say.

[@VENZUL0]

Trying to pull it off when your 50 & with kids is sublime... when you have his talent.

[@razumikhinjones6283]
