This looks like the kind of gig where you completely lose yourself in the music! Hard to explain, but hey I wish I had a chance to see these guys, only got into them a couple of years ago. This reminds me of when I saw Idlewild in a small dive in Birmingham... awesome!
I saw them live on the tour before their retirement tour. They had to have played for like 4 hours straight. They came out for 2 encores. It was pretty great. He got drunk on stage he must have had about 8 beers in a 30 minute time span. It was pretty wild.
@sadair69 Being anything but pathetically wasted after 20 years and a bottle of tae kwon do is called being schizoterrestrial. Being brilliant after all that is called being Robert Pollard.
Oh, sweetbabyjesus. An ex- of mine took me to a show on the the farewell tour and I stood there slackjawed the entire time. Easily the best live rock band ever.
And some nice lady pulled out a J during this song and handed it to me. Thanks, glad girls.
Great video, possibly the best live GbV quality video I've seen here! I was at this show but preferred the Bimbo's shows (2000/2002) way more, those were fun to be up front in front of the Tim and Nate. Ah those memories...
I was lucky enough to be up front at this gig. You can see me right below the hairy bearded guy at 2:25, grinning like a fool. GBV coming to SF was the highlight of every year- miss this band big time!
If anyone but Doug Gillard had filled in on guitar, I don't think this band would have been the same at all.

It was on for a while several years ago on the Reverb website. I think the track was "Cut Out Witch."

what is the problem with the video version of this song on youtube? how is it an issue of terms of use causing the removal of it specifically?

Easy on the zoom, scooter.
Otherwise a very nice amateur shot. The fellas sound fairly tight, I must say.
