Matthew Sweet- I've Been Waiting on the Dennis Miller Show 1992

[@pete5534]

One of the prettiest tunes from one of the best albums too few know of. Matthew Sweet’s “Girlfriend” is a rock n’ roll classic.

[@danporuban1762]

Just heard the news about Matthew, made me very sad. This song and the Girlfriend LP uplifted me in my younger days. Very few musicians get it "right" and create timeless art, all try to pursue this fleeting zone of creativity - Matthew found it with that record!

[@juliebirdgirl9059]

"Oh, such a fucking great song.... ... thinking of Matthew and his family.... we are with you....

[@JonnyH123]

The perfect antidote to pop, metal and rap, real alt rock of the 90’s. Matthew Sweet - “I’ve Been Waiting” truly stands the test of time.

[@MichaelJW72]

Just remembered why Girlfriend was one of my favorite albums of the 90's.

[@iagobroxado]

Anyone here for Matthew Sweet? :)

[@HITCHBITCH22]

The great Matthew Sweet and the late great Robert Quine. Let see Quine has played with the Voidoids, Lou Reed, Lloyd Cole and Matthew Sweet -- that is some resume.

[@recordplayr]

Is he the one who played on Lou Reed's Rock n Roll Animal? The intro for Sweet Jane? If that's him he's awesome. And he's great here too.

What a cv

[@mjbachman3027]

@@recordplayr That was Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter.

[@ljgsuper]

@@recordplayr yes. Absolutely!!

[@ljgsuper]

it was RARE for late night to let a music act to go 4 min. they knew

[@tillitsdone]

Music being played by musicians using musical instruments. What a concept.

Incredible pop gem!

[@BettinaBalser]

If you don't get how completely awesome this clip is, you are beyond help, frankly.

[@JoeServo]

Awesome song. Great performance.

[@kkmik5933]

Ah, way back when pop music was good

[@HumGuitar]

This is cool, the great Robert Quinne on guitar. Too bad the sound people screwed up and had his guitar turned down in the mix to where you could hardly hear it.

[@lamper2]

Quine

[@suiwooie]

Just a great song that makes you feel good

[@banaldrivel1]

This clip reminds me what live music sounds like...back in the good ol' days when there were real artists, confident enough in their talent to play live.

[@pigjubby1]

Great older footage. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffreyday8844]

That's not Peter Holsapple, It's Murray Attaway who was in the Athens band Guadalcanal Diary. They probably met in Athens where Sweet lived for a short while - and was briefly in a band, Oh-Ok, with Linda Stipe, sister of Michael. That info and $1.93 will get you a small coffee.

[@arranone]

I remember Guadalcanal diary. I would definitely spring for a large coffee for that piece of info!

[@recordplayr]

Really appreciate you posting this.

[@burpo]

The "Inconceivable!" guy from "The Princess Bride" sure can shred!

[@bethlord6012]

hahaha, good one. It's too bad the sound guy didn't turn his guitar up a little louder in the mix though.

[@UncleLudie]

Is that Peter Holsapple on guitar/harmony? Quine's excellent!

[@gordonmyers3804]

Murray Attaway from the great Guadalcanal Diary on acoustic.

[@r3d5ive87]

What a gem and only 35,000 views

[@13TypeONeg13]

Sad that there are not more views & comments

[@themooddisorders]

I find that Sweet fans are also REM fans

[@johnclark4593]

Well, Sweet did "attend" UGA in Athens. He might have been the only person in the history of the Honors Program to post a 0.00 GPA after his first semester.

[@PopTodd]

QUINE!

[@tiktokyt]

Oh man, Peter Holsapple, Robet Quine, Pat Mastelotto, and Sara Lee.

[@roy0866]

I think that IS Sarah Lee on bass...

[@matthewsproul9614]

Downtown New York City guitar.

[@arnoldrex]

Is that Sara Lee on Bass?

[@anyakaats]

Stop talking about politics. This is power pop.

[@julio_scissors]

Wait, is that Pat Mastelotto on drums?

[@annem7806]

He's in Austin now

[@mauriceortiz8817]

Dennis Miller lives in my toilet paper.

[@kevinplucker]

Weird. Just saw this and thought exact same thing. Peter holsapple. 80's/90's jangle pop still the sh*t. Although i must admit db's not as good on re listen visits 30 years later. Didnt quite hold up as well as other imo. Love Miller's radio show now.

[@tommyboy6267]

What ever happend to "Captian Hair"? Thats Miller I'm talking about.

[@tommycassII]

is that Peter Holsapple???

[@leebarbie]

Pretty positive that it isn't Holsapple.

[@unclebville]

I had Peter Holsapple comment on the “Girlfriend” clip from the same show where I suggested in the comments it was he on guitar, that it most assuredly was not him and it was Murray Attaway.

[@bmack2938]

So many good bands got passed over in the 90’s. The Fly’s? They had success and they sucked.

[@mauriceortiz8817]

The only good thing about this insipid show belonging to the insipid Denrod Mula is that his producers booked good acts. But as we all know his insipidness got the show cancelled. Maybe if it was 60 minutes of music he would still be relevant stooge

[@mauriceortiz8817]

Oh look Dennis Miller still sucks in 3023

[@burpo]

Sadly, it's a pandemic.
