[Lafourche4747]

Feel Like Im 18 Again...

[Giostarship]

The singer is the far left...right?

[Revitandgo]

@Giostarship Right! his name is Matt Pryor.

[SparMhacGB]

@Giostarship far right

[Giostarship]

@SparMhacGB You mean our left? The guy in the white t?

[TheLirpaZemog]

oh how i love them soo.they will always be one of my all time favorite

[pacolli]

concerts in living rooms are the best ever! wish i was there

[sgscott88]

may this moment be presented to TGUK and may they take some inspiration from it, its funny isnt it, "last time i saw you act like this we were kids" anybody else feel me here, at some point maybe this band will make rock music again and save this art form

[charmander42]

My favorite part is the pick slide on the acoustic. HAHA!

[hulitus]

Broke up? I just saw them last summer in Sweden. Great band :)

[eatme765wes]

This is fantastic.

[kremlindusk1987]

saw them awhile ago in atlanta right before they broke up, it was kind of sad because you could feel like something wasn't right in the band...but that is the past....did you guys know they are back together?! I just found out, they are releasing a full album in February. :)

[polarisbluewolf]

@kremlindusk1987

fucking thank you for posting this! I would be so sad if I missed them in houston

[PipeD0d]

i love this song these lyrics are so pure emotional

[kfife]

wasn't this in College Park, MD?

[benelgermosen]

Can someone please chord this song. I hate tabs.

[gamelord2000]

lol @ backing vocals so causal

[ihave3pennies]

Man, wish I could get these dudes live in my living room. what a lucky person.

[heidegger1976]

I watched these guys in 98 with Braid, their first album was a emo/post hardcore masterpiece, for me only Boys life were as good, yet sadly everything else they have released didn't come close, at least for me.

[dankproducer]

this songs so dope

[ksteiger]

OH MY GOD (I had to spell it out) Please buy these guys a guitar tuner... And a metronome while you're at it. JEEZIZ.

If they appeared at my house I'd stop paying the mortgage.

[haroldbedford]

what are you talking about? theyre definitely in tune. at least for the most part.

[publiclopez]

is punk rock... first is not suppose to sound right on acoustic and second i agree @haroldbedford they are on tune and guitars are on tune

[Noobcake789]

I posted the sound from when they did "Don't Hate Me" in this show everyone should listen!!!

[Jschills]

they played at a dudes house in providence with braid a very long time ago. Shows at homes are strange...... When you don't know the home owner anyways.

[carilstarkie]

Hahahahahaha this last comment is so funny ='D

[thillesheim]

if they play my living room, ill get naked

[Velourium]

always loved the end of this song

[fourdaysfromnow]

haha acoustic pickscrape. I love this song... Get Up Kids are coming to my town in November.

[U2rock55]

I might be wrong but i think this is the same performance on the 'dorm room bootleg' which is floating around on filesharing networks.They also performed 'I'm A Loner,Dottie,A Rebel...' and 'Don't Hate Me'.

[pepperpl]

There is so much that's great about this video. I love how cheery Jim is!

[arg13415]

is that the crappy peavey milestone II?

[imstoned6]

it does look like one, but i doubt it

[kevinmcd28]

no thats a millenium

[lonelygnome1]

[300MUSIC]

[macbethag]

[hbjapsurfer]

Great Band!

I can't find Red Letter Day..

[arg13415]

[MrMuttly210]

They sound pretty in tune and in key to me

[hellurhei]

i love these guys, always !

[ClumsyJenny]

Great! :D

[charliedip]

They had to of done other songs at this place(livingroom), were are those videos at I wonder?

[MrSNES1]

it's certain true. there's better thing to do!

[charliedip]

The base player needs a acoustic base. It would sound alot better. This is one of the best bands though.

[Geertkeen]

bass player

[charliedip]

That's right; Thanks for the spelling correction ; )

[acastillo76]

does anybody have the MP3 of this version of this song?

[salty008]

Pure greatness! Love the Terrible Two's and The New Amsterdams. Matt is the man!

[jsteitz08]

[FiveHundredChannels]

[U2rock55]

over reacting over again just when i say

thats what i hear anyway.i'm sure if i'm 100% correct probly not but i've never looked up the lyrics..

[U2rock55]

This is probably my favourite song off four minute mile.

[getupkid29]

best band ever, they need a reunion tour

[emo4elmo]

[blkedherownshot]

i would sell everything to see this band get back together

[bobbybrad618]

i agree

[Punkrockrulez]

My all-time fav band! Omg. I miss them so much! The most influential emo band of our time. Since Sunny Day Real Estate back in the day.

[Punkrockrulez]

[DaniloLight]

nothing like this, where is going the actual music now to?

[veinandflesh]

i love you soo much :((

[SweetCera]

i miss the get up kids!

[SaintDemure]

I saw this band twice. The second performance was amazing. It was before they announced they were breaking up, but you could feel it. They knew it, and a lot of fans knew it. The performance was pure magic and I will never forget that night in Detroit, Michigan.

[iamemocore]

WHAAAAATTT!?!?!?! i would miss that

[mightyukrainian]

@SaintDemure I saw them on oct 26 2009 In detroit Michigan and they closed their set by saying "See you next time Detroit". And those 5 words meant the world. It meant they would be back.

[kimcest]

@SaintDemure fuck dude i miss the dirty d so bad! and shit, i didnt know they broke up! ive been in germany for like 2 years and was too broke to go to shows before that so i stopped paying attention :(

[KrisTheCutie]

this song makes me hella sad.

imissyouoldfriend.

[livelikethedead]

i can get past that little bit of out of tuneness, its very slight because this song is fucking amazing i love it

[TheHandsomeSorrow]

Yup...someday...

[dubin]

That was actually in my dorm room at Loyola College in Baltimore MD.. This was recorded in September of 1997

[ryanthc]

for real? looks just like the dorm rooms we have at university of pittsburgh in bradford PA. we have those same chairs that the guitar player on the right is sitting in. if you flip the chair on its side it makes an even better table. in fact, this laptop that im using is sitting on one right now.

how did you end up with the getup kids performing shorty in your livin room?

what other songs did they do?

did those get recorded too?

may we see them?

please?

[innocentpedestrian]

hey cool, mike dubin's on here.

i always wanted one of those "I'm With Dubin" shirts since I saw the TBS "Great Romances" video

[mattapd]

I think I have this video on VHS. Is this the one with Mineral on it also playing an acoustic set...?

[mellamocesar]

[michaelofelsecar]
