Barenaked Ladies with Steven Page - "One Week" & "If I Had A Million Dollars" | 2018 JUNO Awards 

Page is just a treasure (Barenaked Ladies, too!!)

Nope, and I wish I could say differently. I have been to see BNL 23 times, from small clubs early on to big amphitheaters and arenas, and loved the band every time. I cannot bring myself to go see them without Page. They're good, they fine, but they're not BNL like I remember, and I don't want to tarnish my memory of those wonderful shows where everyone - literally everyone - in the audience had a smile on their face for the whole show. The five of them together was magical.

In the UK, dabbling in a bit recreational was a right of passage for any up and coming rock band. In Canada? It's a passport to oblivion....for it's core contributor. They hung him out to dry.

@@dirkbag22 Bands change, things happen. I'm happy the other 4 have continued on with a happy successful career

@@bobomchobo Not nearly what they were, not close to what they may have become as the original five piece.

December 2005 in Hartford, CT!

Pete Davis That’s Jim Creeggan; Andy’s on keyboard.

Nice catch!

They had such good chemistry!!! What went wrong???

@@doctoremb Drugs

np shit bat man not easy as people think

Reminded me of all of those early '90s shows during the Yellow Tape years... good times.

If you pay close attention, though, Ed doesn't really acknowledge Steve at all through the entire performance. It's actually kinda awkward.

Unfortunately it was a One, and Owt. After having to appear in New York, I am not sure if My Conscience would not allow me to look at Ed, nevermind the Mirror Shoulder High. Hell Froze Over so anything is possible.

Yup!

Total clown hahaha

Yeah, they're amazing at improv.

Was it me or did they not actually sing that bit?

@@sandrafaith they did! Also, calling out specific small town or obscure locations you grew up around, is really Canadian.

Really late to the party myself. Sadly, no. This was a one time event, as they were being inducted into the Canadian Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If you watch the performance again, you’ll notice the chemistry is a little awkward the entire show. BNL have always been really good at performing live, even when things were falling apart. Their last tour with Page in ‘09 had them showing up to venues separately and only seeing one another on stage without a word to one another before or after each performance. If you find the CBC interview leading up to this performance, they seem cordial when talking about one another, but Page and Robertson still insisted they do their interviews separately. They’ve never shared (specifically) where the animosity for each other stems from, but I’m willing to bet it’s big enough that neither one will forgive the other for it, and it will prevent a true reunion in the foreseeable future.

@@BigScreenViewing Wow, that's really hard to imagine such animosity off-stage - the banter (at least from the show I attended -- mind you this is forever ago) gave the appearance that they had lots of fun inside jokes together, all the witty back-and-forth etc. I guess during that last tour, they didn't really need to practice together? And what about the rest of the bandmates? Did they take Ed's side because they likely were on the tour bus with him etc?

badderthanyou - or RHP without Flea, or Frusciente.

OMGWTFLOL horrible to bring those people out. Fail.

@@badderthanyou Yeah seriuously who the fuck are they, they don,t even know the group lol

Good catch! What an idiot.

He always has been, hahahaha!

Still have alternative rockers Our Lady Peace putting out new music in 2022!

Indeed. Where is Ashes of Soma? Where are The Trews????

peter papadimitriou why did he leave?

DenimJeans -Yoko Ono syndrome.

DenimJeans A battle with bipolar and subsequent self medication. He left to focus on his mental health and pursue a solo career. It’s really sad but it’s good to see him looking so happy and in good stead with the rest of the band

@@Tozmiov hello and good morning Jude I'm Peter from Hamilton Ontario Canada how are things there hope you are keeping safe? I'll be 48 years old and a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor now loved the Barenaked ladies LoL
