Urge Overkill - Positive Bleeding [3-28-94]

[Stereo feed] The group perform live on cable television in the US. Humorous segment before the band play is left here, for your additional entertainment.

The last rays of rock.....before it all ended

[@wisedog99]

That band was insanely great.

[@sublimegman]

Well said.

[@rustybeltway2373]

Supersonic Storybook is the best rock record of the 90's.

[@kencummings953]

Especially Blackie O

[@davidhealy4534]

Apart from the fact he can't sing

[@Jeremy-th5pt]

We were on the way to see Urge at a small bar in Louisville, Ky. But a storm came and a tornado warning so the show was canceled. I almost saw them!

Monday Nov 13 1995. Crossed out in my tour book

[@Jeremy-th5pt]

@@mr.zzyzzx6136 wow, thanks!

[@Jeremy-th5pt]

@@mr.zzyzzx6136 Phoenix Hill Tavern show? I thought it was more like the late 90s. Maybe 1998 or 9?

[@sublimegman]

I remember seeing this live on tv and I was pissed for a week because they cut to a commercial right after Urge went into S.H.🤬 I always loved how UO always looked so completely mellow & chill no matter the venue all the while rocking your face off. Take note kids: this is what raw talent and good old fashioned rock n’ roll looks like right here. 🤘

[@pyenapple]

@@J.F.-yy8ji why would it be weird for them to write a song about an addiction a bandmate was going through? He was the well known user, not them. Not everyone who writes a song literally does everything they’re writing about. David Bowie never went to space AFAIK. Haha

This was the moment Urge Overkill were at their very, very best. This moment!

[@steelygray]

I like very much UO. I think they sounded even better when they played live. GREAT

[@lupowins]

Saw these guys play at Hammerjacks on this tour, great venue and great band.

[@christianberthiaumeccb]

Best band of that era.

[@suzannelaubenthal]

I loooooove these guys!

[@LasVillafrancas]

The U.R.G.E. shirts are BRILLIANT!

[@mattwalsh9413]

I dunno they look like a high school cheer squad. Kinda payaso.

[@kencummings953]

Good thing they weren't named Creedence Clearwater Revival

[@rockturtleneck]

Saw the Urge right around this time at the Academy, an old theatre in NYC. They were unbelievable. Saturation is one of the most underrated albums of all time. It's every bit as good as the records Nirvana was making at the time and sold 1/100th of the copies, if that.

[@utubeutube4761]

Love the song but what a TRIP it was to see Jon Stewart with no gray hair again 🥸

[@MORTICAI22]

Rip blackie

[@pyenapple]

I love this slightly different arrangement; the backing vocals are very developed compared to the album. Fantastic

[@l.b.2592]

Go here to avoid the mutual masturbation @1:20 ---- Rest in Peace dear Blackie Onasis.

[@whatsforafters7843]

You're most welcome. Thanks for taking the time to post a note of appreciation!

[@marcoesquandolez4737]

I love them!

[@slow-mo_moonbuggy]

The three biggest underrated bands from this time imo are #1 Buffalo Tom ,#2 Timbuk 3 and #3 is Urge Overkill.

[@cod8140]

I always thought the guitar tone on this song was SO fat and heavy ,,sounds Baritone ish on here great tune!

[@mccanlessdesign]

"Fat" is the word. I had this CD in my car when I built my first kickin' stereo - three-thousand watts in a Volvo wagon with a baby seat! Good times.

[@pogo9876]

Quite possibly the only band that has an "Official hate club".......These guys made some serious enemies.

[@bcancun123]

Why? Can you explain

[@TheLarryburns84]

​@@bcancun123 immature underground attitudes. UO were an indie band for a number of years before signing with a major and when they did, all the indie dorks started complaining. these two crazy ass women even started a hate-zine about UO called The Stalker that the band themselves completely roasted and wrecked in the song of the same name on Saturation

[@mr.zzyzzx6136]

@bcancun123 The band took their star attitude seriously onstage and off, and ditched their fan base when they got to the Majors. I know, I was there from the first tour through the cancellation of the "Exit" European tour, which happened after management convinced the crew to do Brazil for half pay.

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

The boy’s no good ; ^ )

[@Zizzbiz]

Don't let them make up your mind

[@johntaylor1219]

What song do they start to play at the end?

[@j.dovales8713]

Sister Havana

[@johntaylor1219]

Chuck Treece on bass

[@mr.zzyzzx6136]

Treece was, and still is, Black. He got fired coming off the plane from Europe and replaced by this guy. I can't remember his name, and it's not in the tour books.

[@tmarlotti]

It's a guy called Tony Marlotti. I know because I am he. @@mr.zzyzzx6136

Is it Tony Stull on bass?

[@PanasonicTooth]

Neil Young on guitar

[@j2martnz348]

Would it of killed the drummer to HIT the fucking drums !?

[@matthewvapniarek7119]

Apparently it did

[@mr.zzyzzx6136]

If you saw them live on a night when Blackie was psycho, which was often, the drums took serious abuse. For the cameras they were all trying to get it right

[@JLE999]

Surely you jest? Blackie was an absolute beast on the drums. This is just not a very good mix on this performance.
