"The Hook" is such a strange and brilliant song. It's genuine, emotional, sincere and speaks against the contrived nature of pop music by presenting a heartfelt parody of pop music. Performed by a master of harmonica. In the days of Nirvana ,how did this exist ?
Fantastic to revisit this, thanks so much for adding this David. Bobby's musical prowess was/will always be underrated in how it contributed to the fierce early sound of the band IMO. That said Im beyond happy to see the v2 version of the band continue on the road as long as possible. In my several interactions with them over the years I found them to be high quality human beings across the board. Humble and approachable in their 20s and 50's and all points between.
Blues traveler ranks just barely below TOOL as the best two out of the dozens of live acts I've ever seen. Popper shredding live on those harps was an experimence I'll never forget. (Even though i should have no business remembering it 😜🙃)
One of my all time favorite Concerts was at Balboa Stadium in San Diego in 1976. Loggins and Messina, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, and Rod Stewart as the main Performer! He had the Tower of Power Horn section, and an eleven piece String Section. I had quit my Job to attend, I had someone to cover for me at Work, but my supervisor wouldn't let me have a substitute- so I called in eight hours before my shift and quit. I'm so glad I did, it was a most Awsome event.
At 8:22 where Bob is being interviewed in 1993, does anyone know what interview this is or have the whole footage?? I saw another clip from that same interview and would love to see the whole thing!
Thank you so much for posting this and the "but anyway" video! I must be one of Bobs number one fans but it is so difficult to find interviews with him! Best bass player and most attractive man but I never got to see him play, I was still young when he died. Do you have anymore footage of him?
@@davidmallick3471 I have been watching those, you and AJ have the best content Ive come across so far! I love it, wish I could have seen them live when Bob was around!
I can relate to John Popper in a way I chose food to be my drug of choice too The difference is I don't eat meat, poultry or fish I'm now 35 and now weigh 200 + pounds I know John was married later on and had a daughter John and Jordan divorced in 2018 I know John had his shares of arrests too I hope he drops the cigarettes and drugs so he can be there for his beautiful daughter and continue with the band
