The REal dEaL

[CrazyDan1984]

man i got fucked with the whole generation thing

[chuckley99]

saw their last show at The Capitol Theatre:  pure bliss

[tomeeeee1]

Save the Trees! Why wont they get back like Soundgarden? I paid 60 bucks to see em last month. I'd pay 100 to see the Trees.

[IdahoAngler2]

"When you walked into the room, never seen your face before... Won't follow you there anymore" the Trees. Thanks for making the NW so great back before all of these morons moved up here

[immobilepreacher]

i was at this show...i think they were opening for fIREHOSE or dinosaur. truly a transfiguration for me. lanegan has the best voice/lyrics on earth. pickerel's loss was when it all went awry. barrett martin is/was steady but too R-O-C-K. they started to sound like a bar band. also, gary lee switching from his firebird to a les paul changing their sound from punk to ROCK! yuck. at least lanegan still writes and records some truly wonderful music. hope he doesn't get stupid.

[wanderlander]

@immobilepreacher I know what you mean, but I think when i saw them the first time he had a black LP, but they still had "that sound", so maybe it's just a matter of attitude??

[grindhouse11]

thx for uploading.... this is so epic

[wanderlander]

Well, Pickerel had his own style, that added to the others MADE the trees sound, just retro enough for psychedelia, but not dated by any measure.  I was disappointed with his replacement being overly modern and not getting the psychedelic aspect of the trees.

[immobilepreacher]

@wanderlander this what i wish i'd written...the psych/punk they invented built on base of songs that were as musical as the beatles, just made me go bizots when i saw this show.

[DoTheEvolution7]

Very good live video....thanks! ;-)

[blackyfloyd]

uh, no...pickeral was and is great too.two different styles...and he had plenty of energy. as i recall they were always tellin him not to speed things up too fast.

mark's beat was great for dancing, although not as technically dazzling as barrett. ...pickeral was also constantly throwing sticks up and catching them on beat. listen to the buzz factory album for perhaps his best drumming, or any Truly record.

[PieceofMindmusic]

@blackyfloyd i agree. and technique aside Mark's a real nice fellow, too. they both are of course i know Mark better than i know Barrett.

[GrungeNYC]

Mark Pickerel was nothing compared to Barrett Martin. Mark Pickerel had no energy and used practically the same technique in every Trees song.

[Amsterdam74yeah]

What about The Looking Glass Cracked? Has anyone paid attention those lyrics?

Meaning.

[trophyloaf]

yeah, he looks pretty fucked up.

[DOAJAM]

Hehe Mark is fucking wasted.

[adegamisoumounopano]

amazing man... thanks for posting.

[brainduck]

much fucking better than the album version!!!

[grinzilla21]

this is so great. Where is the rest of this show? can it be obtained? will you post more Trees'songs? Awesome!

[Jesusjoy99]

whoa... they sounds great!!! That Live is amazing!!! U Rock!!!

Greetings from Venezuela

[stankerpooch]

I saw them perform at the Moore theater with Tad and Soundgarden in 1989....guess how much?

9 bucks

[PFEonRKOL]

@stankerpooch

That was an AWESOME show!

[IVEGOTAHARDONBEER]

great song!!!

[lasnot]

i love this song

[grungecohlic]

gary lee is MY wonderful guitarist...

[sartoriinparis]

top voice, but I can see why Langegan doesnt dance at all anymore, the guy has no rhythm !! lucky he looks hot and has an amazing voice

[grungecohlic]

where the hell you see mark lanegan dance...

[adegamisoumounopano]

that was a lame comment.

[Amsterdam74yeah]

I'd kill for a Screaming Trees live show from '89/'91 in Seattle or Olympia.

And you should too.

[TenenteDinamite]

Yeah! You're so right!

[Amsterdam74yeah]

Screaming trees was the greatest band in the world at that time for me.

The crowd looks terrible.

I don't think

those people even knew them, they were there out of curiosity. And didn't even get the band. They didn't get the band at all.

I would pay $300 million for a show in Seattle or Olympia 1989/91.

[tooslowforyoo13]

then you would be wasting your money....

but yeah it would be great!!!

[abstrait1]

At the time, one of the BEST bands live bar none... could burn the damn house down. Saw them when they opened for firehose on their first big tour. Just insanely great when they were ON. The Conner brothers were characters. Personally, I think they lost some of their innocence when they ditched Pickeral. I'll never forget that Cats Cradle Show in Chapel Hill... standing ovation wouldnt let Mike Watt and firehose hit that stage (and it was their FIRST time, too). Amazing.

[wfthg]

the greatest video of the greatest band!!!!

adore this vid!!!

[bhayz00]

awesome video

[eraserhead321]

if the screaming trees rocked any harder, my face would explode. wish they would reform.

[jealouseel]

woah, mark pickerel looks like he's about 12 years old. great vid.

[lugrohl]

Please Man, put it on Dimeadozen or Zombtracker... this is great... thankss

[xthegrungebitchx]

:)))

ohh screaming trees grandes!!! bastard los amo me hacen vibrar en lo mas profundo de mis oidos tienen toda la escencia seee

grandess

trasfiguracion excelente song

[nortonirish]

ho-ly shit. this was the first trees song i ever heard (on cassette). even if and especially when, bleach and louder than love changed my life. i was 18 when i first saw them in '89 w/soundgarden. i can't remember shit from those days so thank you liveboots, thank you.

[sturmblast13]

Listen to the SCREAMING TREES!!!!!! Everyone!

[madliv]

love this vid!!

[billy10133]

lanegan was completely wasted there

[crazyjunky]

I've never seen him moving so much before xD

[grnggrl]

Me neither!! That was great!!!!!!! I'm seeing him in concert soon; I can only wish that he'll move half as much as that!

[drugstoremarc]

Now THIS, is GRUNGE.....

[misssinsimilla]

those pants are pretty tight! :)
