Tumbleweed - Daddy Long Legs

[@fordprefect80]

Saw them at The Cambridge Hotel Newcastle back in 93. I don't remember much of that night.

[@djdj1204]

Still remember the excitement seeing this band live in Melbourne in the 90s

[@barac]

The weed rocked!! Saw these guys live so many times as a kid... ... that riff man... it always makes me feel good

[@1967rone]

Playing along with the meanies tonight at caringbah inn-got my ticket will be there to see some true aussie legends rock!

[@whello2000]

90s Aussie stoner rock is way to good

[@bakerlite2506]

Google Tumbleweed Pinball machine. Guy who built it from scratch is off tap clever. Kressy. Legend.

[@iane6248]

Saw these guys yesterday at spring loaded festival Sydney... kicked ass!

[@3CH1DNA]

Tumbleweed were one of my first live gigs. And to this day, one of the loudest!

[@rahawa774]

Same! My second gig ever - Mark of Cain supported them.

[@Freddyfartbox]

When I was learning guitar this was one of the first songs I figured out by ear, fucking classic.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

I still haven't done that I am going to do it immediately! ...... [ L O A D I N G ] ....... Drop D, I presume..?!😁❔

[@dherdy9205]

This pub has a new juke box and it's play this all the time It's what your going to hear

[@sanjashooter7373]

Takes me back to my high school days

[@laurentzduba1298]

That tuned down Sabbath guitar tuning - 5 frets below standard - absolutely rocks!!! 🤘

[@coffermartin77]

I used to love playing this on my guitar, every bit of it awesome.

[@brutaltruth77]

R.I.P Jay. Thanks for the awesome memories and the even greater tunes!

[@nathancory7325]

This band was my first gig back in like 94/95 at Planet Basement in Perth. I remember Jebediah and Dirtbag supported them and crowd surfing was a given.

[@shayneoneill1506]

I was at that gig! It was fantastic! What a friggin great time that whole era was in perth.

[@ihopethisusernameisa]

I was def at the all ages during the day 😅

[@JimmyHandtrixx]

im looking for a photo of the poster from the 94 Freo passenger terminal gig if you guys have a link?

[@VVV73]

Still one of the best LIVE Australian acts I seen... LIVID (Davies Park, West End)

[@dielaughing73]

VVV73 ...AND THE FUCKING LOUDEST! JESUS CHRIST!

[@wazza1085]

'94 it was. They were just one of an incredible line-up that year. Checkout the setlist www.setlist.fm/festival/1994/livid-festival-1994-63d6ae47.html I pulled off quite a few personal firsts at that event and count myself lucky to have been around then :-)

[@desiolle2874]

I was there...Helmet, BBoys, Weed...massive festival...lots of acid

[@anthonycarr9118]

VVV73 saw them eastern creek some festival along time ago,what a riff

[@nathancooper1]

Had my nose broken in the pit at the Weed at that Livid. Good times.

[@steve26cairns]

Saw them live at the Tote in Collingwood in a free gig with a free bbq and $1pots...shows how old I am now. They were fkn awesome live!!!

[@1967rone]

Go the 'gong!!! Also remember Thumlock they are good. Saw tumbleweed a fair few times in the pubs and clubs around southern sydney and they always went hard.

[@adam375]

1994 UWA Refectory with Bodyjar and Spiderbait. My first gig ever at the age of 13. I'm pretty sure Richie damaged my left ear by screaming as walked by the pa after crowd surfing. Shit happens. Caught them again last Saturday at the rosemount. I think there's a lot be learnt for young bands here.

[@rahawa774]

I saw them at the UWA ref in 1995, with Mark of Cain! Can’t remember the first band…. Those all ages gigs were tops

[@porkhunt6030]

This is by far the best Tumbleweed song to jam out to whilst stoned.. but holy fuck I played it at 1.25x and this song kills it!! Dgmw this song kills it either way, but I guess I just found another way to expand said killing..

[@LemmyLawless]

Too much better at 1.25x!!

[@clutch083]

Best Aussie band EVER!!

[@StixMcG]

I am 15, and dead proud to be from the same area as these legends, I even know the drummers daughter!

[@dherdy9205]

Get a root

[@ryderbenson429]

25 now

[@weeeed66]

@@dherdy9205 fuckwit - come be proud and say that at our next gig yeh? knobhead

[@booradley9505]

Awesome! How old were you when you discovered their music?

[@booradley9505]

Do you still like it 10 years after your comment?

[@brettpapich5182]

Awesome Aussie band. Got every album/cd.

[@7star7storm7]

Straya royalty 🔥🔥😈

[@Bapholantern9]

Memories 😎 Good times🚬🍺

[@gcastell09]

Yes one of the great Australian bands.

[@mattj376]

My first ever gig, was awesome

[@robertcubinelli4961]

Real cool from my sweet hometown 'Gong !!!

[@johnmcdougall1330]

In the second half of this the guitars are epic. One of my favourite singles

[@OldAussieAds]

Damn, I'm going to have to seek out the whole album!

[@MrKurttster]

So much fun on guitar 😊

[@craigdonsworth9937]

saw them live on the weekend @ A Day on the Green - best act by far!

[@TheNobleRot1]

man I don't know why this isn't on spotify yet

[@porkhunt6030]

I hear you and feel your pain man.. easily my top played song on Spotify if it were available... 😔

[@tyecope8531]

still the sickest tune :)

[@sweetcarmate]

Thanks CrazyMary, this is great! Just stumbled across while looking up old bands I'd seen by keying in the band name from the old ticket stub! Loved Tumbleweed, a high water mark in oz rock.

[@ihopethisusernameisa]

More like a seaping tar stain

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Thanks rezzuc, I finally got around to updating it. Your magnum opus line is genious!

[@YO_NEEN]

Did yas hear? Of course not. There’s no ANTS. NO ANSWERS. For NO B O D Y Just rock spiders. The dogs out the back. Hahahahaha….

[@mistalental]

seeing them tomorrow night at Fowlers in Adelaide.... gonna be a great night

[@dannygalaga]

I used to earnestly play along to this with my bass back in the day (",)

[@darrenwilsonV2]

haha as did I ... and Sundial. Great band. Very sad to hear of Jay's passing. If Tumbleweed did not get screwed by their record company they could have been big internationally imo.

[@jessitar15]

They are playing a gig on the 21st of June at the Hi Fi in Melbourne

[@TheHousie23]

i tend to drink a bit on wknds and listen to various music genres than think about my dad and uncle then listen to some tumbleweed and wig out for a bit always good. Hausmeister and proud, talent runs through the last names viens.

[@dielaughing73]

Keep coming back to this vid.. saw them at the BDO ages ago, f*cking loudest thing I ever heard man

[@sweetcarmate]

Have been jamming with some friends and tried this song from memory - after some aborted attempts with tunings - with the miracle of modern communication tech, we 'tubed the vid and all fell into a big "best gigs ever" discussion instead. Again, thanks for the post, CrazyMary. Oh, we did eventually figure out the tuning and riffs - after a few more beers an' cones,etc ;-)

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Thanks man, I'm on the road at an internet cafe so I hope I slotted the line into the right place. I have an Unheard demo from back beyond the Weed days but haven't listened to the more recent stuff - should give it a go.

[@SEEYAIAYE]

Never knew about this band until I heard on Triple J today that the bassist passed away, they then played this track in tribute, holy shit why had I not heard of them earlier? R.I.P Jay curley.

[@murraymudpie141]

That's sad Jay was a unit, smoked weed with him after a gig over looking 'Gong train station. Seen one gig where he was on acid and he played the gig on his back.

[@joshrawlings2621]

It wasn’t a festive with the Tumble boy’s showing all how it’s Done…🤘🏻

[@Dokkado]

Eventho highschool was a blur for me, I remember these guyz and how can I forget the "Gong" especially weekends..esp. Sunday afternoon ---> Girls, turbo Rotaries and weed!!!! lol

[@pastle2007]

love this song

[@luckyphilster]

god this was freakin gold at homebake yesterday!!

[@crashtheturtle]

Hearing stories from my mother saying that my Dad was barely around because he was smoking weed with this band. Fantastic.

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

That's awesome, they must be some pretty old ticket stubs! Only caught them live once but that memory's lasted me 15 years, so they must have been alright. Hope you make some other good re-discoveries :D

[@stagros]

will get it's first live airing in 15 years this weekend nice

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Interesting, I lived in Coniston for a few years but I didn't know that!

[@chunktruck]

Was that with Mark of Cain and The Fauves? I was there too but I thought it may have been in 96. Cant remember, either way top gig!

[@sammynb1]

For anyone interested the square image is the old Wollongong council building in Coniston.

[@ArchibaldBagge]

Hey Crazy Mary, I thought you were dirty and Larry was crazy!

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

[@tahliasdad1]

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

@bullymac68 Waves is at Towradgi, near Wollongong. Tix on sale now :)

[@asd36f]

I'll have to dig my cassette copy of "Stereophonic" out of the cupboard and play it loud!

[@fitzycf]

Saw them live yesterday, still fucking shredding.

[@MissMelification]

They rocked my 90's!! Saw them @ the Lansdown one NYE - it was soooo hot they turned the fire hose on us. I don't know how they survived it but the night was AWESome!! I saw them everywhere - even at the BDO i think?? i miss that 90's sydney scene :(

[@gavmeg711]

i have clear recollections ( ok acid hazy) of them at Livid at west end before helmet and the beastie boys headlined - the boys were brilliant ..needed physio for weeks after that day

[@PNGPJS]

there should be 1.18 million views of this !! NOT 118 thousand.

[@ihopethisusernameisa]

Talk about an introduction to a little compilation cd called 3Hrs Of Power at fourteen 😂

[@TheBradyJones]

THIS!!

[@herny69]

this is such a good song to headbang too, bring back the weed!

[@npg68]

just saw the sad news on rage - this song is sooo huge and awesome! to me it's an oz classic.

[@nickeax]

I live in Geelong too!

[@jimmerz50]

Hi Jaime!

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Yeah I'm not going just for them either. That line about warm-up shows was removed from the article a few hours after I copied it - the Homebake contract says they can't play a few months either side of it - but I'm keeping my eyes open.

[@lejandko]

How good is this! Really? Woolongong on 31st October?? I'm so there!

[@gustachov]

i love hearing this song when im stoned

[@joshuaweiss8926]

Just yeah 😊 just yeah 🤣

[@750valve]

this song went off @ Waves last night!!!! Go the weed

[@lueysixty-six7300]

They were rocking jazz Masters and Mozzies then..?? In what..? 1995...?? Ahead of the curve, baby! I saw these boys play with Powderfjnger at Wallsend RSL with Powderfinger & Bodyjar, circa...early-mid 90's..?🤷‍♂️ Before anyone Knew them much. There were maybe 25-30 people there! (And 8 of which were me & my school buddies, who came especially to see Powderfinger.

[@JimmyHandtrixx]

this was 93 and no it wasnt ahead of the curve 😂

[@dansocks]

fucken unreal!!!

[@kye3849]

Just checked when this song was recorded.., I'm only 28 years behind

[@tahliasdad1]

@TheWheelofLife100 ... All was goin well until the Tumble's frontman says " Turn it up Duncan ", and then our ears didn't stop convulsing until the end of Kyuss...hahaha... maybe I'm gettin to old..was a great night that's for sure..

[@raileneappleton4578]

the weed are awesome. go the local lads.

[@ghostdelay6770]

Massive

[@dereksoundcloud]

ive never seen the term "stoner rock" used this accurately

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Tumbleweed are reforming for Homebake! And... "The reformed line-up will play a number of shows as a warm-up for the Homebake show. The band hasn't discussed recording any new material but they haven't ruled it out either."

[@HotZingers]

this should be mainstream. god i hate my generation

[@iamLizardJohnny]

WELL I"M CAUGHT IN A WEB, AND THE WEBS NOT MIIIIIINE fuck yes tumbleweed!

[@MyLeftBoot]

Shit yeah!

[@Indonesiansurftravel]

Long live the Weed! Yew!

My dad knew these guys when he was in high school.

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

They're not, but members have wound up in other bands - The Pink Fits, Richie and the Creeps, The Unheard...check out the comments further down for a bit of info :)
