  • I like the Sheep Go to Heaven Goats Go to Hell Part

  • Uhm.. for a band as funky as Cake the audience is standing pretty still.. i would've been raving and singing and dancing like a loon if i had the chance to see them live :D <3

  • You guys are incredible. I have seen you out in San Fran. and it was a great show. I hope to hear some new stuff from you all soon. Happy New Year 2012.

  • this bass player is immaculate live, i am envious

  • Bands don't any cooler than this!

  • wow man, just wow.

  • 609 sheep... 4 goats...

  • not a sheep - oh, no . i must be a goat : [

  • ...i wonder if cake can give me a slice, so i can b cool like them...

  • Finally , some talent. Damn it's getting thin these days.

  • @Aclarado What do you mean finally? Cake has been around for a long time.

  • October 7th!!! Davis CA!!!!! Driving 10 hours!!!! FUCKING WORTH IT!

  • hey take it easy guy.... there are some h-core cake fans in AZ

  • Please Cake cancel your tour dates for Arizona! They are GOATS!!

  • Top notch. Cake kicks ass live.

  • Could Xan be anymore groovy with his playing? Guy's got more swagger than Jack Sparrow xD

  • whoever puffed on that ciggy at 6:40 made my day

  • This video is 10:00 mins into heaven.

  • two of my favorite Cake songs. Killer

  • I think John McCrea would be the only musician that I would cry for if he died. I'm 19, I have a true musical interest, non of this mainstream modern shit. Real music that affects you deeply, that's my preference.

  • It was amazing. I was working at this stupid chicken place and hating every minute of it then i heard this come on the radio and then i was happy and wanted to stay hoping it would play more cake. Cake makes people happy. The food and this awesome band.

  • I just found that the band is coming to Japan..!! omg, i have to be there..

    The sound of this video is great, probably the greatest live sound on Youtube. Truly thank you for uploading.

  • man this band is the shit!! good god they are all "ON" in this gig. never have I been this impressed...spread the word people.

  • Such intricate songs simply shouldn't look this easy and sound this good live. These guys are fantastic musicians.

  • the keyboardist plays like 10 instruments! i don't cake could survive without that guy!

  • Fasion nugget is one of my favorite records of all time!!! We used to bomb around town in my cousins 1970 Barracuda and listen to The Distance all day, GOOD TIMES!!!!

  • i thoroughly enjoy his baseball cap

  • deke once deke twice holy jumping jesus christ king sh*t sonva a bi**h go Deke

    NU ZETA

  • Four people are goats.

  • @danzo1999 You mean 4 people are sheep? Only a truly clever (wo)man (goat) could like Cake, they aren't for mindless sheep! Silly danzo!

  • @danzo1999 Dude, I'm a goat and even I liked it.

  • @danzo1999 you mean sheep?

  • @danzo1999 Actually they're sheep, no one likes sheep.

  • lol the best sack religious song by cake next to saitin is my motor i still love it lol

  • @shikamaru08804 what about pentagram?

  • @nutjob76 9oh yah almost forgot

  • Saw them do this in January of this year. Five years later and they are still spot-on! Love them basically telling the audience to "Go to Hell" and everyone is in Heaven listening to them!

  • electrical tape on guitar=winner

  • Holy crap, they sound almost exactly the same in concert.

  • one of the biggest mysteries: why is CAKE so awesome?

  • BAMMMMM

    that track hit my ears

    rate it a for fkin awesome

  • The guy next to Vince (the trumpet player) at 2:43 looks like Robocop if Robocop was a roadie.

  • two of my favorite bands from my time, 311 and Cake, are both underrated while having some of the best fans from all around the world. reminds me of hearing about Rush back in the day. mad respect for bands that can stick around together and play for the love of music.

  • CAKE <3

  • you know the band is awesome when there is a trumpet used

  • Stupid question. Is the guitar a baritone or has he drop tuned it to D? Sounds nicely deep.

  • @cptnspldng  Standard tuning, key of A

  • @cptnspldng Standard tuning, key of A

  • Saw them do this last night in Nashville! The guitarist had the same shirt on ! LOL!! Unbelievably fantastic performance!

  • Alternative.Great.With a touch of all. Guys: this is GOOD!

  • i like cake. wonder if they gig outside of usa ? would love to hear them live.

  • @paullally07 They are going on a major tour, and some of the spots are in europe.

  • Great! Now run to go live ... Oh come to me I guess I can not go ...

  • Subjective as this statement is, I think Cake has produced the most original/unique music ever

  • kguntherb RULES ffs lol m8

    BUKAKE

  • heehee for the longest time he's just standing there telling the crowd to go to hell heehee XD

  • AMAZING

  • Love CAKE!!

  • YESSS!!!

  • is it true there have been two different singers in this band

  • The crowd is so dead. I would be freaking out with dance fever. I was rocking out just watching this video.

  • @ttlycrazy4177 thats EXACTLY what i was just thinking! im seeing them for the first time this december and i WILL be dancin like a MANIAC!!!

  • @ttlycrazy4177 it was professionally recorded; the crowd is quiet, as all the sound is coming from their mics.

  • crowd blows

    

  • Xan is king of technique!

  • Xan the Man!

  • The most underrated band in history. Period.

  • @MrEdLoop Couldn't agree more.

  • @MrEdLoop agreed

  • @MrEdLoop Thumb UP!

  • @MrEdLoop Xfactor wins that one, CAKE is a very popular band, thats why almost all of their new and popular songs make the radio

  • @inferno350z CAKE, to quote their lead singer during a live performance I went to, continues to fall in and out of mainstream attention, and has done so since its inception in the 90's. And my comment was a slight exaggeration, as I believe The Mountain Goats is the most underrated band in history.

    P.S. It's a bit weird replying to a reply to a comment I wrote almost a year ago.

    P.P.S. I've not heard of Xfactor, I'll have to check them out.

  • @inferno350z Actually it's generation x sorry, so unpopular i can't even remember XD

  • song rocks, but goats go to heaven sheep go to hell.

  • Vincent Di'Fiore is the man

  • I'll never forget the summer of '96 when I first heard this album for the first time. I was blown away. Beer, barbecues, and of course, cake.

  • Frank Sinatra is one of the absolute best tracks ever created, both powerful and sensitive, deep and spiritual and totally moving from start to finish.

  • I never can get enough cake.

    My ears will soon be obese.

  • I'm sure the liveliness of the crowd was inspiring them! I would have been in the front row, dressed as a satyr, dry humping the first thing I perceived to be a security guard considering there didn't appear to be a need for any.

  • awesome lah pokonamah ..

  • cake and sublimes sound has always mellowed me out

  • Awesome CAKE

  • - ovce i kozeee! hahahahaha

  • as soon as you're born you start dyin'

  • We know of an ancient radiation that haunts dismembered constellations a faintly flickering radio station...

  • @drawer450 while Frank Sinatra sings stormy weather, the flies and spiders get along together, cobwebs fall on an old spinning record... beyond the suns that guard this roost, beyond your flowers of flaming truth, beyond your latest ad campaigns... an old man sits collecting stamps in a room all filled with Chinese lamps, he saves what others throw away-uh, he says that he'll be rich somedayyyyy...

  • go to hell... haha. freaking awesomeness

  • sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell!

  • I want a tour cake!

    please?

  • ah CAKEgasm's for my soul

  • Love the everything.

  • such a nice band

  • 5:55

    "There's lots of guilded ornamentation everywhere... that's always sort of life affirming I guess."

    Haha awesome.

  • Yo, far out, grooviest, most insainely jiving, coolest band ever :)  Great vid thanx so much for the post!

  • it's funny how the vocal's voice is just the same as his singing voice

  • fucking weird, hah?

  • bass rocks

  • this band in one of all time favourites..... great music they make!

  • the bass is great...and the band is excellent

  • great ..

  • love the drummer.

  • John seems to be singing when he's actually talking! He's amazing!

  • The horns are fucking amazing, I never really like horns but these are Amazing. Fuckin AAAAA

  • I think this is the most Original Guitar Player in every aspect

  • Xan's style/tone are one-of-a-kind, I love watching his left hand go.

  • I think, they put the name "CAKE", maybe because is a mix of all the music styles, I hope that i have the chance of see them live

  • I wish I could see these guys play live

  • Everyone plays their instruments really well, especially the bassist who is probably often overlooked. I like his sound and style. But maybe he should ditch the cap.

  • theyres a mistake early on with the lyrics but theyre still tight with theyre playing

  • If you're talking about switching the words 'smile' and 'laugh', it is always performed live that way.

  • @mikemoring oh right sorry, I honestly didnt know thanks for tellin me :P (p.s I know this reply is kinda late )

  • @TheEedrew How do you know there is a mistake.... You didn't write the song, they did!

  • @TheEedrew

    I don't think there are mistakes when you're playing your own stuff.

  • @Ruutzy I agree.

  • I wonder if they needed to get permission to name this song "Frank Sinatra."

  • Holy crap... the trumpet is awesome. I want to play this on my trombone/baritone since I don't have a trumpet... :)

  • They play so tight live that I almost wondered if they were lip-synching.

  • thats probably the good thing about thier live act, the singer put a sorta bluesy style into his singing pattern, waiting that half a bar to sing a lyric with a sort of attitude attached to it, its one of the things i personally love about cake

  • They're all such great musicians, wonderfull! They sound incredible live!

  • 9:20 he makes the only mistake i can pick out in the video.

  • 9:59 They make the only mistake in the video (It ends)

  • Im a metal head.. but i have loved cake since they came out! I would stop playing metal if I could be in a band as good as cake!

  • when people ask me what my favorite bands are i have to say Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, and CAKE. And it's weird lol. cuz it's like progressive death metal and more metal and then CAKE. Whatever you'd consider CAKE to be!

  • @AnyoneButSeagulls I almost shit bricks after reading this, because I was seriously watching BTBAM Colors Dvd before looking up live Cake performances, love them both.

  • They totally have the crowd

  • they're better live than they are recording

    but both sound amazing :P

  • insanely awesome.

  • I love how good they are live!

  • Where did you get this series of videos? Please let me know!

  • r they gonna release a new album?

  • Comment removed

  • I wish Vince was in my band!

  • *looks over at his pet goat, who is chewing innocently on a patch of carpet* John McCrea say's you're gonna go to hell.

  • She wasnt good for you & she does not know her music , you better off without her.Cake is the best.

  • i love cake they kick ass

  • I broke up with my girlfriend because she doesn't like Cake.

  • that's awesome. If she cared she would fake it...

  • Then you did it right.

    If you know whats up, you like more.

  • u know wats up

  • the guitar player rocks!

  • these guys can fucking jam

  • Too damned underrated, but i'd rather they stay that way. Its part what constitutes the cool-eccentric cake vibe.

  • What the heck are they doing? They are musical geniuses man... They seem to be able to do something I never seen done before in he midst of such overwhelming 'photocopy' pop music... Damn... I always thought that sumday I'd be able to play like them:Cover their songs, maybe, but think like them, Im starting to doubt it...

  • sheep go to heaven.......cake haters go to hell.....

  • haha i agree

  • Xan Mccurdy = So GOOD!

  • Everyone loves cake, it's unpreventable, a fact of life. Anyone who disagrees is lying to themselves and they represent everything that is evil and soulless in eternal life

  • i couldnt agree more i have every cake album!!!

  • yeah, we found out this dude in our neighbourhood didnt like cake .. well, lets just say he'll be eating food through a straw for the rest of his life ...

  • huh? O.o

  • ill bet mudwell went right in the back door actually

  • it was a joke you clowns.

  • amazing live preference! CAKE RULES!

  • lmfao,

    "it used to be a brothel"
