Cracker live | Rockpalast | 2008

[@OaktownBman]

"I'm sitting on the Cafe Xenio steps." - Big Dipper. Cafe Xenio was this amazing courtyard cafe in Santa Cruz, CA behind the old Bookshop Santa Cruz. It was destroyed in the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. It is were college students got "coffees of shame" with whoever they slept with the night before. It was a magic space and moment. In the quake, a girl we all loved was killed next door while roasting coffee on that fateful day. A brick wall fell on her. This song is sentimental about a very real scene that once existed.

Such an underrated band. My favorite by far from the 90s.

[@johnhutchins825]

Mike Campbell....etc., just sayin'

[@MegaStench1]

Not underrated by me.

[@matthewtownsend2368]

So underrated. My band plays low and get off this and they are our favorite ones to play.

[@dougsmith7083]

Johnny Hickman is so great His little fills and fingerpicking etc during Eurotrash Girl are as epic and integral to the composition as David's fantastic lyrics

[@johnflushing9328]

Check out his solo albums and side project. They're all incredible. He's David's secret weapon.

[@oystershucksters4206]

Yes sir! I absolutely love his playing, so beautiful and melodic.

[@johnhutchins825]

Compare to Mike Campbell

[@revwillyg6450]

@@johnhutchins825I get that. I'm a huge Tom Petty fan, but it would not have been the same without the greatest wingman ever. And Mike's solo work is top notch. The dynamic in Cracker reminds me of that

[@edkerry87]

He wrote Mr. Wrong, one of my favs off the first record. I went to see the band not long ago and ran into Johnny near the merch table after the show. He was kind enough to sign a copy of the lyrics I had printed out. For such a legend dude is super nice and approachable.

[@Thorney369]

This has been one of my top 3 Favorite Bands since I was 13 years old. The older I get, the more I understand what they were talking about and it makes me appreciate it even more. I miss the 90’s and the great music. Every decade is really a feeling that can only be understood if you were there for it. Luckily I was in my teens in the 90’s so I have a lot to be thankful for.

[@Sprogster999]

Amazing - I've watched dozens of Cracker gigs but never noticed how absolutely on point Johnny's backing vocals are on every song. Crazy skills.

[@richarddavis4141]

Always a fantastic band. Dave and Johnny are simply brilliant

[@RobCummings]

Tight outfit! In case the European kids were wondering what a first-rate American band sounds like: This is it.

[@voiceguy3635]

These guys filled my car speakers with all of these songs for many a drive.Thank you for the fantastic music.

[@Kah0ona]

Great band that i only recently discovered. Another great 90s one to add to my list :-)

[@chrisk5366]

this stuff actually gets better with age

[@bobl310]

Incredibly Tight. Thanks for posting.

[@ShootByDaylight]

Great stuff. This should have a lot more views!

[@chrisk5366]

100 flower is so awesome on so many levels

[@kiltworm]

Gawd, I love Cracker!

[@tn2920]

That is a very impressive sound.

[@VintageGuitarOldenburg]

Unglaublich, dass eine so geile Band anscheinend keiner kennt... die punkigen Songs sind zwar nicht so mein Geschmack, aber die ruhigen Nummern sind gradios: 21:30 "Eurotrash Girl" oder 40:45 "Big Dipper"...oder 46:40 "One Fine Day", das hätte Tom Petty auch nicht besser hinbekommen...und:bei 1:14:04 "Annother Song about the Rain", was für ein geiler Song! Dieser Rockpalst Mitschnitt ist übrigens das Beste, was es sound- und Video-mäßig von Craker gibt, vielen Dank an die Rockpalast Crew von ihrem anscheinend einzigen Fan in Deutschland!

[@christianherbert665]

Ich bin wahrscheinlich der 2te Fan aus Deutschland. In der Schweiz haben sie ganz sicher auch noch einen. So eine geniale Band😍

[@LtdNulty]

@@christianherbert665 Ich glaube wir sind schon noch ein paar mehr hier in germoney ;-) Jedenfalls war die Harmonie in Bonn an dem Abend ziemlich voll!

[@goratgo1970]

Great that they're still Crackin' and a treat that this has no ads! Perfect cranked on my Logitech speakers

[@jlarquero]

Nothing can go wrong when you have Tony Stark at the guitar... Now seriously, that guys are awesome. I was lucky to see them live recently, and their shows are first class

[@sneezedoc1]

Hey Dr. Lowry, still luvin' you. Dr. Bailey Oh yes, I'm a Crackerhead fo' sho'.

[@kernowpete339]

This is so good!

[@charliepritt8230]

Peak Cracker right here. 💪

[@timmckay5117]

I love that they have range, but I gotta admit when they pull out a more rock-oriented show they play with fire. Practically EVERY live version is better than the studio version, which goes without saying isn't easy.

[@davidcheca4646]

They look younger than before . Bravo Cracker.

[@NateOclock]

Cause this was 08

[@thomasmooper6270]

Very cool thanks

[@voiceguy3635]

For some reason I got the thought that Johnny Hickman could have played lead guitar with Arthur Lee's Glastonbury Love concert--he and Lee's guitarist,at the time, are superb.

[@marcmcfarland5113]

Damn! Thank you.

[@vegardyrnes1793]

F@cking amazing!! Thnx!!

[@patrickcooney9636]

i heard that tune low for like 25 years and didn't know its name this band is good

[@revwillyg6450]

It's not even close to my favorite song by them, but for whatever reason it's their "hit" . Right song at the right time I guess 🤷‍♂️

[@SteveBarton13]

Johnny Hickman works HARD.

BREAKING: Old codger “discovers” an as amazing band as one could ever hope to “stumble upon” Catchy “numbers” - (lol numbers) and tight as bees’ ass’s Don’t ask me how I found them, ok?

[@slingerace]

This was a great show ruined by the video editor. Why does there need to be a different shot every two seconds? It's hard to watch for more than five minutes without getting a headache. Just awful.

[@NateOclock]

Man they need to bring a younger audience here to go nuts.

[@vcsuwar6126]

Huge Cracker fan but their political crap has not aged well at all. LOL. Wake up boys, you yourself are advocating candidates that are working against your best interest. But please keep playing music.

[@bahabusky4230]

Just go and tell that to their face, they will not read your comment here.

@@bahabusky4230 Why? It's music. I can turn it off or turn it on. I can buy the album or not. I don't want to be drinking buddies with them, I just want to be entertained. They are musicians, so it's not surprising that they aren't that well educated when it comes to larger social and geopolitical issues.

@@vcsuwar6126 Who are you to judge? Like you, they're entitled to their opinion, and they have every right to express it with their music .
