Barenaked Ladies - Box Set

[ooya15]

holy shit that's awesome..

[6kgraves]

from the Junos in 93 as you said.. with Celine Dion and Chris Isaac (sorry - can't spell his name) hosting. Too bad you don't have Meryn Cadell's intro... it was amazing.. listing everyone who was going to appearing/performing in alphabetical order in under 30 seconds. the first time i saw this in 95, i had to argue with myself over whether or not Jim and Tyler were wearing wigs or if that was their real hair (it's wigs for both - confirmed when they accept thier award - Jim had short hair).LOL!

[MCSKiTZoFReNiK]

this song takes a slightly different meaning now that Page has left the band.

Almost prophetic in a way

[vanbelkom]

@MCSKiTZoFReNiK I was thinking the same thing. It's almost like he lived it out.

[BoogieUK69]

I love this song sooo much, and this is a fantastic posting .. thank you!!! Does anybody actually know 'who' was the inspiration for this song?!? I met BNL at a UK gig a few months ago, and really wished I'd have asked Ed this question :o(

[bamapagedesign]

KISS has nothing on BNL.

[karrado4]

When was this? Who's on piano here? Andy or Kev?

[sjwpg]

@karrado4 Winter of '93.  Andy on piano.

[alittlebluehouse]

Ah, the darker edge of BNL at it's finest

[radialaxis]

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.....

[liambnl]

@radialaxis Hardy har, baring in mind this is a good 15 years before his arrest...

[WillieWallace92]

Jim is amazing at bass.

[simonpianomoving]

i love steve and i still love bnl change is good everyone in the band is great

[jlmww]

At least Creegan got to keep his own hair!

[voidem13]

how odd

[fiddlinsquirrel]

man! I want what he's on!!!!!

[amoebaman78]

I have to say, that in my opinion, Steven Page is better without BNL, whereas BNL clearly misses Steven Page. Kevin is not 1/10th the singer that Mr. Page is.

[mjbab73]

I agree 110%.!!!

[ringoffirejc]

Though I will agree that Kevin is not as good at singing as Steve, he still has talent. Just because one person out of the band, doesn't mean that the other's talent will just disappear. I saw them in Boston a few weeks ago and they sound very good. They're new music is unbelievably good. Give them a chance, they are managing quite well. Take care.

[54spiritedwill54]

Awesome. :D

[Seekthrax]

This was on the same album as $1,000,000. That song wasn't a hit yet.

[amoebaman78]

Actually, this song was released on several albums before it made it on "Gordon", became popular before the release of Gordon. Theoretically, it could have been written about 1,000,000. Doubtful, but possible.

[coolkahlil]

it was written about steve miller and his one good album in 1973

[amoebaman78]

I enjoy the re-done lyrics on the more recent performances of the song. because it seems it became a song about his own band.

[TubeSecurity]

I didn't notice the changes. Thanks.

[TubeSecurity]

Cool, but...How do you know?

[hugobasabeg]

one of their best songs....

[pigsrule777]

WOOT WOOT!!! LOL why are they in clown suits?!?! O_O i love it!!! <3

and IM SOOOOO sad that Steve quit...i wish him well solo and hope someday he comes back :)

[TubeSecurity]

YES, It's really not BNL without Page.

[amoebaman78]

Steven is still kicking ass out on the festival circuit. Search the web for Winnipeg Folk Festival on CBC Radio. CBC recorded his performance, he is just so good.

[TubeSecurity]

I'd sure love to "read" "lines" with SP.

[moosedenied]

I've never seen a performance of theirs like this. Holy shit I love them.

[MusicOfCavemen]

a perfect example that you don't have to take yourself seriously to be talented. just one question: What are the Junos? I know bnl are from Canada, so is it like an awards show?

[bnlphan101]

The Juno's are the Canadian version of our Grammy's (I think).

[eljamison]

These are probably the most unique and creative group of guys out there....they are so talented and work so great together...I just love them!

[bnlebg]

i miss the ladies here in houston, havent seen em here in ages

[Hockeysktr17]

this is by far my favorite bnl song

[effigycm]

I wish I could sing half as good as he does :(

[AlwaysWebsurfing]

Wow, absolutely classic, with this visual I will never listen to the song Box Set the same ever again. Thanks for posting this gem extraodinaire!

[ascrodin]

Love this!!!!!!!!!

[goofybutkind]

uncanny and prophetic: backwards 2 words sacrificed...

[okojim]

Wow, these guys are so freakn amazing, i'll love 'em 'til the day i die.

[goofybutkind]

WHERE WERE THEY IN SUNNY SO CAL? I BE real BAND-AIDETTE...

[BakerPunk01]

If I had a party with a clown I'd want Tyler. Andy looks awesome though and Ed has the best makeup.

[goshring]

BNL is the greatest band in the world, and they never cease to amaze me. Rock on you clowns.

[liprincessprincess]

Fantastic! I always wanted to see this performance. Thanx for posting!

[AndrewLife]

I never paid much attention to the Bare Naked Ladies, but this performance is awesome.

[jadiem3]

Was that Celine?

[dorianiwan]

dammm they are still great

[gofshteyn]

heh heh, wrong direction there Andy.

[smika]

Thank you so much for posting this. I cried with laughter. I LOVE THEM.

[nickoljay]

I didn't think it was possible to love 'em anymore....but its been done!!!

[ethansjsmith]

3:07am. Clown Time.

Awesome. :D

[hkeith1]

sorry for the double post...I didn't think it went through the first time:-/

[hkeith1]

I thought I'd never see this video again! I wasn't a big enough fan back then to tape it, then go figure I went on to become a total "naked head" and I've wanted this appearance for years. Thanks so much for posting this!:-D

[hkeith1]

I NEVER thought I would see this performance again! I remember watching this and thinking that I wasn't big enough of a fan to record it, and then of course kicking myself later on for not doing so. Thank you for posting this!!:-D

[cdkscully]

This is awesome! thank you!

[ghancox]

Jamie, what are you talking about ? Have you forgotten maple syrup ?

[jhancox]

love these guys - the only good thing to come out of canada.

[azac69]

umm... hello? what about poutine? I rest my case.

[oneclient]

Awesome entertainers...I love these guys. The Clown outfits are unique I must admit.

[drumgroovy]

OMG that was hilarious!!

[emmabnl29]

Thanks for posting this!
