That guy walking on stage and grabbing a beer is a god damn American hero.

@@QerstyBass There is enough heroism to go around Adam, Guided By Voices soul brother! That guy grabbing a beer is a GOD!!

[@noahholliday9761]

I'm almost positive that guy grabbing the beer is a buddy of mine named Eric, who was the drummer for a band Kites Above Mercury near Dayton where GBV hails from. They were all my friends, and were highly influenced by GBV, and played several of the same venues.

I realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

Bob nails the vocals

[@russmallen]

They ended a show at the Abbey Pub in Chicago at 4 AM in the early 2000's. They had just as much energy after 4 hours of drinking and playing as they did at midnight when the show started. I was a young man in good shape and they had much more energy than I.

Call me when The Who covers a GBV song.

[@naturphilosophie1]

love their version because you can really hear how amazing of a guitar part that is

[@ultrakool]

rp's vocals always reminded me of a blend of daltry, lennon and mccartney. a good mix, there

[@curacaokidd]

[@wolffmannnn]

[@alexnewman5338]

Goddamn Bob. Why do you have to be so badass with that vocal cover?

[@jerrymurphy1012]

When I saw them in Tulsa.....Please Be Honest had just come out....they ended the set with this. It was glorious...

[@CigaretteTricks]

They cover it extremely well. Especially Bob.

[@lisapulatov5751]

[@julia17long]

[@col4lfe137]

This band is Unreal good, I mean seriously! For those that never know, never heard of GBV...what a freakin' shame! #GBVRules

[@gaobest]

Thanks!! BTW I think this is April 2000, as they performed this song when I saw them in SF in April 2000. Think in 2001 they played California in summer time but not April.

[@jamesreckling6697]

The best cover version of this song ever.

[@jeff7764]

Pollard and Pearl Jam also do a great version
