This is one of my go to Modest Mouse songs. Jeremiah will be missed dearly. He was such a powerhouse and together with Eric and Isaac, they were lighting in a bottle. When I think of this song and album, all I can think about is these 3 guys packed in a small van, touring from city to city and unleashing these songs that they probably wrote in that small shed Isaac built behind his home. RAW power.
You hear this on cassette when you bought it on CD and transferred to tape so you could listen on your Walkman. And you think it isn't possible to translate live. It's too powerful. And then, you see this. And, you are corrected. It is possible. Thanks amazing Fugazi.
This video boosted my morale. I was a fan of Fugazi in the early 90's and I've never seen this footage before. This video brought back memories of great times.
Pretty every band the drummer was in was the shit, especially Red Stars Theory and Satisfact. When the Mouse lost him they lost a unique talent, I started losing interest a little after they left Up! Up! Is such a cool label while other labels were screwing bands like sleazy C/Z, Up was solid kept good accounting etc.
R.I.P. Jeremiah Green. This drum track along with many others will live on forever in my heart and soul. Love this live recording.. raw and in their prime.
2nd song that got me. After Dramamine I heard this and it was over. I could cry 😂😂 I'm so lame. But I remember like yesterday and I was 14. (im 36)...havent loved a band that much again yet!
Truly and seriously - I was just listening to this yesterday, coming home from a day trip with my Mom, where we had to drive three hours north, and three hours back south: decided to revisit this album, and this track was always a huge fav of mine when I was like 14 or whatever, which is how old I was when Lonesome Crowded West came out. Anyways, the drumming on this track is already out of control, but to play it live, again and again, so well is truly impressive. Playing drums here and there myself, there's no way I could do it, lol.
