Dude seriously can you imagine watching music award shows today and seeing a performance like this? Four guys on stage playing instruments.They would not get booked. Because today's audience does not not have the attention span to just listen to well played music.There would have to be dozens of back up dancers .This performance is only about music and who wants that?

These guys have been one of my favorite bands for years - and I finally got to see them last week. . .amazing. I do not agree with the comment that everything today is crap - there are lots of great bands today, putting out some good music - you are just not going to hear it on the radio anymore. Try Radio paradise.com They have a mix of old and new (and they do play some Toad)
See all you have to do is look at how few people are on the stage to determine that this is real music.There are no sythesizers no DJs scratching records no dancers on stage. Just musicians playing guitar bass and drums. It's amazing how much bullshit todays performers need.
@OnTheCornerofGrey friend is true, this band was not assessed, now a quarter of what he produces this band renowned artists, a taste for this kind of music is disappearing, Greetings from Latin America
My #2 favorite Toad song. Forgot that he performed on Dennis Miller. Remember, the Dennis Miller show. Unfortunately, DM´s career went down the tubes. I guess it was because he wasn´t funny anymore and started saying stupid things. Toad is one of my favorite all time bands from my college days!
Wow! Is that dennis miller? Man this band could always jam. Think it has to do with glenn not wearing shoes. This band is way way better than crap like Lady Gaga and todays crap....
The Billboard Hot 100 the week Dulcinea came out was topped by Ace of Base, Tevin Campbell, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and lots other soulless crap. Bad music is not new, you whiners are too just old and lazy to find anything good.
@joynthis YOU SAID "The Hot 100 the week Dulcinea came out was topped by Ace of Base, Tevin Campbell, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and lots other soulless crap".OK,but Ace of Base was good europop,Tevin Campbell was a good r&b singer and Mariah and Celine were divas.You forgot to think that MUSIC was still involved that day.Now all we have is a 17yo stupid hair twat with a 12yo voice who claims to be a latin lover and a Madonna/Missing Persons looter with meat dress and a bra spitting fire.
Glen still sounds amazing live, they changed the key the songs are in though so they sound a bit different now. I actually think he sounds far better than this performance now
Always loved the Toad. I got to see them in St. Louis, a few years back, in a club called Mississippi Nights (it's not there anymore). Drove from KC to see them. I wish I could have seen them back in their heyday, but at least I got to see them play live once. Hopefully, I'll get another chance someday. Everything they did, from Fear onward, was great IMO.
@09541745 There are still good rock bands (Anberlin, Dead Letter Circus, Alter Bridge) but I agree with you that the 90s was an incredible decade for grunge/rock/folk
glenn phillips still tours around, he's amazing solo and plays with a couple of groups right now I think. and I saw reunited toad a couple of years ago, they rocked. highly recommend.
Met these guys back around '96 when they recorded an acoustic set at a recording studio I worked at in Atlanta. . Did an amazing set and then hung around to talk to the 30 or so fans that won a chance to be in the audience. Super super nice guys, and funny as hell. I still have the recording and listen to it.
agreed...The older I get, the more relevant 'Toad' seems. I've loved Counting Crows since I was a kid...it's too bad this band couldn't have REALLY broke through like 'CC' did
dennis miller is the hippest, coolest cat this side of sammy davis, jr., can you dig it, babe? so what if his political views have matured along with his body?
The 90s were so much better than today. Real bands getting record deals and writing their own music. No TV shows to make fake rockstars. People today are so stupid to fall for that nonsense.
@reller83 remember new kids on the block? they were an overproduced, overpopped boy band from the 90s. there was great music from the 90s but there was also a ton of crap, generic 'alternative' bands coming out of the woodwork. every era has great stuff, every era has crap. that's just the way it is. to quote billy joel, "the good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems..."
@mattmatthew I second that. Grunge was not about writing music. LOL it was HORRID! But in every decade there are a "few" real rock bands you have to look hard to find. This was one.
@reller83 No kidding. I have a hard time getting the younger generation to even bother to listen to my music. I'm a REAL musician but they don't seem to care much. I remember seeing this video when it aired. One of the songs of the year for me. GOOD song!
@reller83 It's good to see others that agree with me on the whole TV singing contest thing.Some of these contestants had never performed live.They had been singing into a mirror in their bathroom and because they can sing a cover of a pop song they deserve a record contract? Really? WTF.
R.E.M. and Toad the Wet Sprocket were the light at the end of the tunnel during the 90's for American music. Too bad we forgot about them when we got out of that grunge tunnel and instead went for another much worse tunnnel called teen pop and gangster rap.
The 90's were grim for American music. But I'd take the 90's over the 00's anyday.
R.E.M are amazing, I like TWS but Gin Blossoms were more gritty lyrically and performance wise(in my opinion) then TWS. What I'm trying to say is.......Toad the wet sprocket is not the only bad that brougth the good in the 90's.
But on the American bands, let's just agree to disagree. I am pretty sure that neither of us want to act like immature kids cussing each other out over the internet.
Heh, just kidding. But seriously, Nirvana was an amazing group. Even if they don't suit your tastes you have to at least acknowledge the skill Kurdt Cobain had as a singer/songwriter/musician.
Santa Barbara, California's finest. TWS rules. Santa Barbara the city and Santa Barbara County is the most awesome place in California. And TWS better than any crappy L.A. band.
That's why all the L.A. idiots come up to SBC to escape.
I think its a case of the man telling us what to like. the record companys seem to catch a new sound and send us several bands that sound the same, for example creed, nickleback, theory of a deadman, and maybe colective soul.
Gee, what came first....hmmm...Um, TWS has been around far longer than the Gin Blossoms. Not to mention Glen Phillips writes his own stuff. Just because a band has harmonies doesn't mean they're ripping each other off. This isn't even close to Gin Blossoms.
the intro? come on. Really similar song, man. And nobody's hacking on it, either. It's a good song. I think it's awesome, and i can still see the similarity.
27 and I still can't believe it, but I am glad that I got to experience and have the great influences like this. I don't know if it's just resistance to change, but I hate almost all the stuff I hear on the radio today. I wanna go back at least in time, not so much age.

toad definitely did not get the recognition that they deserved. Unfortunately the songs that made it for them were the ones featured in all those bad WB TV shows from that time. check out "In light syrup" to hear some b-sides etc. As for
colinmccarty2003 and
djtrixen little exchange, this is toad and they are performing just 1 song on TV for the dennis miller show. pyros, stage dives? come on. you can't even compare toad with the heavy metal hard rock acts.
they split late 90's ish, bass player started a band called "lapdog", glen did solo touring and a couple of albums. More recently they did tour together again, last summer maybe.
wow.. back when bands with talent actually got media exposure. i miss the 90's. now we have nothing but rap, r&b, kate perry, britney spears, and other uninspired hyper sexualized tripe from hollyweird perverting the airwaves. they should call it lamestream media instead.
colinmccarty2003: What does a band that *doesn't* suck need pyrotechnics for? To me, I've always felt the pyro was there to distract the audience from the crappy performance of musicians who don't know how to perform live. Toad knows how to perform live and has no need for stage stunts. I made the mistake of seeing Metallica in '98 on the Reload tour. Needless to say, they had (and needed) plenty of fire on stage. I suppose a band like Whitesnake might need them too... lol ;D
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I saw them Vegas at the H.o.b. arround the end of Augest. I stayed about 20 minutes. It was very boreing live. I think they are a studio band> They just stood arround and played. no action, no pyro, no stage dives, no shout outs, very slow. the sound was ok. I would not pay to see them again. You know something is wrong when you pay $1.00 (One Dollar) for a ticket to A House Of Blues concert. The t-shirts also where just 15.00
You say you saw them at the end of Augest, eh? How were they? I would imagine they would be a good band to listen to at the end of the sommer, epeshully in Augest.
Peop;e that like this should look into Long Ryders, Dream Syndicate, Dreams So Real. Guarantee you'll like them.

Drummer reminds me of the Kindergarten Cop principal. She don't play the drums as good, though.

Thanks for posting this! Toad was my soundtrack for my college days. Good times. Cheers!

toad definitely did not get the recognition that they deserved. Unfortunately the songs that made it for them were the ones featured in all those bad WB TV shows from that time. check out "In light syrup" to hear some b-sides etc. As for
colinmccarty2003 and
djtrixen little exchange, this is toad and they are performing just 1 song on TV for the dennis miller show. pyros, stage dives? come on. you can't even compare toad with the heavy metal hard rock acts.

they split late 90's ish, bass player started a band called "lapdog", glen did solo touring and a couple of albums. More recently they did tour together again, last summer maybe.

wow.. back when bands with talent actually got media exposure. i miss the 90's. now we have nothing but rap, r&b, kate perry, britney spears, and other uninspired hyper sexualized tripe from hollyweird perverting the airwaves. they should call it lamestream media instead.

"They just stood arround and played. no action, no pyro, no stage dives, no shout outs, very slow"
Go see Whitesnake instead, Hessian.
I saw them touring for Fear, it was religious.

colinmccarty2003: What does a band that *doesn't* suck need pyrotechnics for? To me, I've always felt the pyro was there to distract the audience from the crappy performance of musicians who don't know how to perform live. Toad knows how to perform live and has no need for stage stunts. I made the mistake of seeing Metallica in '98 on the Reload tour. Needless to say, they had (and needed) plenty of fire on stage. I suppose a band like Whitesnake might need them too... lol ;D

I saw them Vegas at the H.o.b. arround the end of Augest. I stayed about 20 minutes. It was very boreing live. I think they are a studio band> They just stood arround and played. no action, no pyro, no stage dives, no shout outs, very slow. the sound was ok. I would not pay to see them again. You know something is wrong when you pay $1.00 (One Dollar) for a ticket to A House Of Blues concert. The t-shirts also where just 15.00

You say you saw them at the end of Augest, eh? How were they? I would imagine they would be a good band to listen to at the end of the sommer, epeshully in Augest.

I'm amazed at how well their music has held up, though I suppose I shouldn't be since good music never goes out of style. :P
Still! This was one of my favourite songs in GRADE SCHOOL, and Dulcinea is still one of my top 5 cds.
Also: Go away Dennis Miller. You're not funny, and you're taking up time that could be used to show more TtWS. :P
