[JanOneful]

Oh the memories Thanks best "boy band" ever :-)

[LizAndyMovieWatcher]

what year was this video?

[hundarkgsd]

Saw them back in the day at King Tut's in Glasgow - finished the set with a version of Ace of Spades!

[ridenhour1]

Want tv show was this from

[jdimaria]

@ridenhour1 it was called "onion world", hosted by rich hall.

[juanplomeli]

Yes audio is back.

[DoorsAreSecured]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. They had it right.

[daisychein]

This boys are so cool.

good melody and arrangement.

[improvisedcinema1]

the ex bassist is now an english teacher at my school, he's a really cool guy

[DanPat121]

Well there was audio when I listened to it.  Terrific clip!

[h15h18]

スキーに行くときいつも車の中で聞いていた。

雪景色にぴったりの美しい曲。

When I went for skiing, I always heard it in a car.

The beautiful music that is good to a snow scene.

[shropshirelass66]

wish there was audio (adding &fmt=18 does NOT work)

[SeanRenet]

@jdimaria adding &fmt=18 doesn't work

[SeanRenet]

@jdimaria Adding &fmt=18 to the end of the URL doesn't work

[orchardparkpress]

This is a very special upload. Thank you for sharing!

[canaan1967]

What happened to the audio?

[upchilled]

these guys are up there with the Smiths... one of the best musical/lyrical acts ever... never got their proper credit, in my opinion... cheers!

[Andraste77]

Was that Rich Hall announcing them? Tough to tell, but it sounded like him...

[1MrBluesky1]

Yeah Andraste77 it is Rich Hall. He was the presenter of the show this was on.

[1MrBluesky1]

Have a listen to the Trash Cans version of Wild Mountainside. Spellbinding, Emotional and Sensational.

[1MrBluesky1]

Follow the instructions from SMC77100 and it works.

[riuinthenearfuture]

Please help me to get the sound of it

What do you mean by Follow the instructions from SMC77100.

SMC77100??

[1MrBluesky1]

riuinthenearfuture - Great username!

If you type in &fmt=18 at the end of the URL then click send a HQ(high quality) will appear/be activated underneath the screen of the video. Click on this and you will get sound for the video. However it's not permenant and you will have to do this each time.

[riuinthenearfuture]

Yes Yes I got it !!!

Thank you very much☆

You know? You can listen to it on the Trashcan sinatras official web site

You can also download many trucks inculding obscurity knocks

I was trying to copy guitar part of obscurity knocks (acoustic)

then I noticed the key is changed lower from the original version (well, much easier to sing though)

but they looks like playing the same key on this video

Therefore I really wanted to hear the sound of it and make sure what key they are playing

[riuinthenearfuture]

Then now I know they are singing lower key and they also tuned guitars lower

Thank you for your help

Now I 'm translating what the song is about.... in order to sing better

It is not easy to fully understand. I kind a understand someting like youthful mistake or distress ・・

I might be asking too much favor but If you can, please describle only the tilte "obscurity knocks" in your words for me

>riuinthenearfuture - Great username!

Thanks I 'm glad to hear like that from UK person

[1MrBluesky1]

Hope you got the instructions i've posted

[Andraste77]

type this at the end of the URL: &fmt=18

[Andraste77]

Sorry, just realized that someone else had already sent you that instruction. Should have scrolled down a bit!

[riuinthenearfuture]

Thanks for your instruction, It is good for everyone!!

[neverbeen2]

no sound for me too ? :(

[theboombody]

It has good ratings for not having any sound though. Way better than the ratings my crazy videos get.

[smc77100]

if you add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL, the HQ button and the sound comes back. this works for all the videos that are messed up, including the ones that play at superfast speed.

[theboombody]

Too much work.

[crgn]

Paul with hair! Splendid.

[1MrBluesky1]

What a great song in a great setting. Hard to believe that this is an acoustic version as it's so good - take note X factor wannabees!!

[thejimmy32]

tried HD but that shut the video down too...LOL... great version though ..glad I saw it before the tech difficulties

[smc77100]

try clicking the HQ button and then rolling back the slider to start the video from the beginning. sometimes you have to do it a couple of times.

[smc77100]

if you click on the button to watch in "high quaility" (not sure I really notice any improvement) beside the volume button, the audio gets restored.  this button isn't always there though -- depends which computer i'm on...not sure why.

[stillgametid]

the bassists my english teacher :L

[jdimaria]

george isn't in this video though. check out the regular video for "obscurity knocks" or "only tongue can tell".

[ApocalypticSniper]

mr mc daid hes mine 2

[zamumlala]

Thanks for posting this, it's fantastic.

[magicstallion]

Holy cow, the beautiful 90's, and such a great song by a fabulous band. Wow, getting old

[chuychingas666]

sorry i what i meant to say is i first heard or tcs when i was in the 6th grade . that was when i was 10 and not too long after they dissapeared? did they just stop playing??

[chuychingas666]

why did they stop playing?

[jdimaria]

the song was over. what do you mean?

[tuijatrivun]

LMAO, sound like something a blonde would say, i know, i'm blonde, xoxo

[marksim990]

They came from Kilmarnock not Glasgow! Brilliant band seen them live on many occasions. Should have had more success.

[nicholasusansky]

this is my very favourite song ever. like ever, like always and never before have i heard one better. x

[aldusin]

Know what it's like

To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?

Every stopped to think and found out nothing was there?

[tuijatrivun]

Aw Frank, i just noticed , what's up with that cancer stick in your hands,that's terrible i hope you gave that up, take care, LOVE Tuija ;~} xoxo

[w00bs]

Look how young they all are!  Great vid - thanks for sharing this with us. Greatest band ever!

[CitizenJain666]

i love their songwriting, the way they twist a metaphor inside out, so to speak.

[harybosco]

bloody brilliant indeed. this video is bloody brilliant. Cake is one of my favorite albums of all time. this song is perfect.

[viniplanetero]

This song is so fucking bloody brilliant. I have played tthis song every in the last 5 moths...i and never get tired!! NEVER...

[anaknimayor007]

You can tell how good a band really is with how they perform stripped down without effects, mics, & amps. Needless to say, they are a great band. Greatly underappreciated but truly talented. I love his natural voice.

[Stanzmastertron4000]

This is beautiful

[sultryladyingreece]

musicmysoul123 - It's possible that it was recorded during the Edinburgh Festival when all the groups and actors perform in the streets during the day. It's a way of advertising and letting people hear who might not otherwise get the chance. Edinburgh is wonderful during August. I see that the boys are playing at Loch Fyne on the 31st of August. Hope I can make it.

[incasilver]

Edinburgh is wonderful during August??? NOT if you live here its full of pretentious numptys making our lives a misery!!

[musicismysoul123]

Makes me sick that people were actually walking past without stopping when such a sweet song was playing. Great tune

[hobbitspice]

Thanks for posting this! Brings back great memories! Those boys are definitely underrated. Does anyone know where I can get the audio file of this? I love this version!

[jdimaria]

go to the downloads page on trashcansinatras dot com and it's about 10 from the bottom of the mp3 section. i don't remember what bit rate it was recorded at so it may not be great quality.

[nutdzy]

anyone who can perform acoustic/acapelo and sound so well has real talent- these gentlemen were always my favorite!

[kerbot2000]

bloody brilliant

[chasonw1]

The guys look SO young. Nice shades, Frank. ;)

[BethArzy]

Ouch... that takes me back!

[trickshottim]

Joe, isn't that comedian Rich Hall introducing the band?

[jdimaria]

yes it is!

[trickshottim]

Wow, what a great version of this song. Thanks for posting it!

[jbsolo]

Thanks Joe for sharing...cheers!

[kafkass]

this is very rare brother thanks mate,,cheers

[heykatieann]

Wow, thanks so much for posting this! I love this song and the spot where it's recorded: This is not in Glasgow as the intro says, but Edinburgh. Excellent rendition.

[jdimaria]

the intro is cut off, he's actually saying that the band is from glasgow
