Camper Van Beethoven - Ambiguity Song (w/ Anthony Guess)

[tjsbigidea]

"Telephone Free Landslide Victory" = great album!

Go out and find this album, buy it and play it to death.

Box o laffs!!!!!

[maddymud]

god this song is perfect

[billy2quinn]

David Lowery is too cool

[executiveassistant07]

Interesting but not my taste.

[nilesmoney]

This is just a lil' ditty, so investigate more Camper. Very diverse, yet all Signature! Oh, Memories! And these albums hold up well to daddy time! Stellar!

[heywally]

The electric studio version is better but I still like this. CVB had a boatload of great songs.

[executiveassistant07]

Interesting! Looks like the boys are having fun; however, I could not understand the words. Enjoying themselves, looks like.

[redbugiii]

Awesome Song and

Awesome Band

[raidersc38]

So ahead of their time.

[newhat07]

I agree, and yet at the same time, they've always been of NO time, which is even better.

[THX1138hxc]

looks like so much fun!

good god, i love Cramper.

[mungo2k]

Anthony is CVB's Bez!

[mlester72]

As a drummer, he's a great dancer!

I saw these guyz at the crocodile in Seattle and luved em. We need to get them up here at the SODO Showbox.

SO GOOD! My favourite song about 17/18 haven't heard it for YEARS!!! Thanks so much for posting it. It seemed to be exactly the way I felt in those days, and yet so optimistic (Actually, everything's still pretty much up in the air 20 years later). CVB are one of only two bands I have ever seen in concert, the other one being Violent Femmes, I really couldn't be bothered getting off my arse to see anyone else. Is it just my nostalgia or has their music really just not dated at all?

[wildanimalboy]

no, they are still relevant... I love them too!

[heywally]

That IS a great song - so simple but so melodic and well, cool! One of my favorites of theirs.

I saw Camper in 1988 or so - just before they broke up; they were backing up Dire Straits and only played for 45 minutes - great though.

[deajoya]

Anthony! where are you? it's Dea, just found this video by accident, but maybe not an accident? great to see Camper Van, always loved your band!

[13FIZGIG13]

What a great song.

[tuskedbeast]

Oh! I thought he was sitting in on drums.

Thanks.

Frank Funaro is on the drums. Anthony Guess lives in Seattle so David invited him up from the audience to sing on the one song.

[tuskedbeast]

Who is that singing?

I'm an old Box o Laffs fan. God I wonder if any of that band got on videotape.

[thedown5]

That's Anthony Guess, one of the original CVB members. He played drums on many (not all) of the songs on the first album.

[deajoya]

@tuskedbeast

I remember box of laffs :D

[treegirlie]

enjoying them??? THANK YOU. I LOVE this song. just in general CVB makes me so happy. lol and i hadn't heard it in so long... it had just lived in my head. How brilliant is that simple lyric "everything seems to up in the air at this time"... Ambiguity song. YUMMY. and thank you again for posting it.

[fluxkit]

Yeah, I figured that out once I sent the comment! It's awesome.

[fluxkit]

was Greg replaced by some bosstones type guy in a winter hat?

[thedown5]

That guy is Anthony Guess, one of the original CVB drummers. Greg is off camera as is Kenny Margolis. You can see them in my other videos of the same show.

[deajoya]

is Anthony still drumming and who is Anthony playing with these days?

[WorryRock]

this is the best CVB video i think i've ever seen.

[thedown5]

Wow! Thanks for the great comment WorryRock! I've been sitting on these videos for 3 years now, and just finally got around to posting them. I'm glad to see people are enjoying it!

[RongWrongTV]

I agree. It's the perfect video.

[hermeticmedic]

thats too cool
