I saw them live last night in Club Paradiso, thank god we had the best rock band of the last 15 years in combination with a fantastic crowd, as if only real fans were allowed. Awesome show, nothing like those kiddies in this video. Too much beer and weed must have killed their last 2 braincells. But again, last night, Club Paradiso, whoever was there will agree: prob the best rock concert EVER!
@onthefritz13 the London concert was just like yours by the sound of it. I think their fans are just that bit older and more grateful to see Cake nowadays... I know I was :)
i always thought that it was weird that there was alot of ppl there yet nobody is energetic. now i know, its just they were in a trance from john's voice!
I never took the pain to put a face on the band. Just satisfying myself with the album I have. Those guys are genuine. Playing plain good music easily and simply. Fact.
@Victorinox667 maybe that is part of the reason I like Cake so much - I enjoy that raw live sound, and with almost all bands I'd rather listen to a live recording rather than the album, warts and all.
@black55stude same here, man. I was fortunate enough to see them in Charlotte a few weeks back, and they sounded so amazing ^_^ I actually have a few videos up from it =D
from a musicians point of view, if the crowd was this dead at a show, I don't know how to stay into it. like energy is reciprocal, and this crowd has none...fuck them, they suck. CAKE deserves better...agree? disagree?
@RAPPERScantSPELL well, maybe 'cause they don't understand english or something, the happens here, people like sound of the music but don't understand the lyrics, so enjoy a little less the show. By other way people same go at the concert. Greetings from Perú.
@bigmac949 They mix and produce their own albums, but they don't filter the studio work through any processors to clean it up. They record it raw and release it in the same fashion, thus their raw live sound is the exact same as their studio sound =D One of MANY reasons why I love the band. They're not afraid to showcase their imperfections
@bigmac949 I was noticing the same thing...just killer live, sound just like studio. I think a lot of that may have to do with their studio practices. They shy away from a lot of the extra effects (reverb, delay, etc) that every other "modern" recording is just layered in. So what you hear in the studio ends up being much closer to exactly how it sounds live.
@owenstc I think it also has to do with their songs and the way they're put together. The lead singer can lead the band through the songs like Duke Ellington or something. He's a brilliant arranger. Cheers!
Having attended many rock/alternative/punk concerts, the cake concert was by far the most mellow I had ever been to! It was definitely the chillest concert I have been too, however their authentic/ original sound was awesome!!!
I remember when i only listen to Japanese music, and was a fag' Wapanese kid, just until my brother introduced CAKE to me, i started with Pressure chief, and god into all the rest, i love CAKE they're so great, and better than all the shit out there these days..
cake has always been an underground kinda band they've been around for about 16 years now and since they have such a unique sound its tough for them to become mainstream
John McCrea is such a funny and entertaining front man during CAKE concents. So, therefore, CAKE concerts are awesome to go to. It's like going to a stand up comedian and kick ass band all at once.
haha in Albany someone flipped them off and John replied "flip me off A-hole now sit the F down!" but he actually said it. priceless and he gave a tree to an audiance member!
"...and the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French-Canadians"...the first time I heard that, I was on an extremely long roadie with my friends, and I nearly died of laughter. That last verse is just so damn creative, its unbelievable. Go Cake!
I guess even in the beginning, the bass player never played the bass as it was in the album? Anyone know of a good reason for this? (because the LIVE bassline, is really boring!)
I've just recently discovered just what the big deal about Cake is! I Will Survive, Never There, Short Skirt And A Long Jacket and not to overlook War Pigs. I'm a Cake fan for life and I apologize to you "the true Cake fans" for being the last one to get on the bus!
not moving means nothing... its cake.. is aw them in Winona MN Huge college campus... nothing was going on.. tons of people.. but thats about it ... NO hardcore rockign out like me and another guy
Awesome!!!! Great freakin Band! I just created the Tasty Cake Lobby on my channel. Im collecting only the BEST clips of cake and adding them to this special playlist! Check it out! You might find it quite tasty! :o)
I got to see this band LIVE at the ROXY in LA. It was awesome! We didnt have tickets, we were hoping to buy some, but it was sold out. the scalpers were had tickets for 60 bucks... originally they were 15. Then fellow fans came by with 2 tickets and simply gave us their extra tickets! Those 2 couldnt buy a drink as long as i saw them at the bar.
OH MY GOD! Fucking song + 240p. Delicious!
