Rheostatics - Shaved Head

[doveles]

One Friday night 19 years ago I came home and this was on MUCH; I was entranced. This was in the pre-youtube days and I knew that they would not have this video on rotation and I didn't have another way to see aside from luck. So I would come home every weekend night and hope it was on...but it never was! Then about 2 years later I came home late turned on the TV and it was playing! It was such an amazing feeling! I bought Whale Music and have loved it, the movie and the book ever since

This song is so wonderfully surreal. I didn't like it at first, but after a few listens, something clicked and suddenly I realized how friggin' amazing it is.

[futuray22]

thank you whomever compiled this

[FuzzTony]

if only it was in sync

[thenoah23]

they are so dope. glad i got to see them live in guelph a bunch of times

[RobinParmarSound]

"That's such a lonely way to be..."

Here they are the best rock band ever. Four guys on a surreal trip.

[ofgordonsamson]

Does anyone know if By Devine Right ever covered this song?

[bandcouver]

It's really sad the radio stations in Vancouver ,for one, don't play the Rheos' music. So I sneak them on when I can. Why deny people a listen to one of our best acts ever?

[SaZooCaballero]

i've been to 1000 shows, so i'm the biggest fan. tho i hate the band,.. i do it to impress myself. did it work? yes!

[bradsmith72]

Maybe the most powerful Canadian song of all time. Epic in every sense of the word. This is a great example of less is more.

[tayloreh]

@bradsmith72 Saskatchewan and Northern Wish are of course up there too...

[lumpytwangage]

Most excellent! A great song from a great album... only wish I could've caught a live show (or 20) from these guys.

[movowels]

ive seen the rheos live at least 30x's including their last show ever at massey hall. i always remember being so captivated by tielli. By show 20 or so, it was totally normal to be having a conversation during the concert, look up and think-this is the soundtrack to my life.

[alloowishus]

this is live folks, one of the few live videos around (I remember the Waterboys had one in the 80's "You saw the whole the moon"). I used to think Dave B. couldn't play guitar until I saw this video. Funny how they're all in tuxes and Dave C. is wearing a lumberjack shirt and a tilly hat. Still the best that canadian rock music has ever produced.

[guyfidelity]

Gorgeous stuff. Like everyone else I too miss these guys. Sooooooooo underrated - it took all of one show to convince a musician friend of mine that these guys were 'it'. Go Martin...

[Cocoburner]

They were way too good to be really big!

[khunopie]

This could have been a song in "Sweeney Todd"...

[drummerstevedixon]

Thank you for taking the time to post these videos. I didn't know there was a video for this song. They were such an incredible live act. They are truly gifted musicians and songwriters. They should have been really big!

[Mrbs71]

This really is a fantastic song, more people need to see stuff like this, thank God for youTube being able to bring this stuff into peoples living rooms.

[brahmthexton]

A great great song, by a great great great band. This is one of my favorite songs and it's so cool to see the video. LONG LIVE RHEOSTATICS!
