When I started playing bass this was 1 of the 1st songs me and my guitar buddy learned to play. They are independent of eachothet yet complimentary w enough room to groove extra with. So sick dude
@@theramplocal Trying to figure out which bass he's using here...the official music video has an original pbass or telecaster bass. Flatwound strings a must.
lol people are complaining about the audio quality? I can hear the bass in my headphones...it's not amazing, but I'm used to washed out VHS audio from the 90s that's often far, far worse....thanks to the uploader and whoever ripped it! always loved CAKE's energy!!
I've been looking at live performances on talk shows for a couple hours and Conan is hitting at like an 80%. He has almost everything I've looked up on his show.
I met these guys once, back stage on a tour with De La Soul and the Flaming Lips. The singer was really nice and fun to talk with. & They kicked out the jams. Great Show!
I saw that tour! Modest Mouse also played (so did The Hackensaw Boys and Kinky, but I got there late and missed their sets). Such a great show with such a diverse lineup!
The guitarist is pushing the pace and actually embodying the song (he wrote it) and John is nervous. He's trying to shake him up and it works. Thats what makes great performances
3 years later after this comment was made, as I sit here after my shift at the local Walmart, I'm here playing WWE 2K23 and watching the same video as you, and I came here to say absolutely nothing. Hope you're well, hoss.
Haha. People complaining about the audio. It’s definitely no Shinedown “Save Me” from Kimmel, but it’s not terrible. The bass is still bumping. And this is from 1996. That’s eons ago in digital quality.
@@JohnMatayas yeah I'm not sure what he's talking about. The bass is perfectly audible. It gets drowned out in the chorus a little when it's synced with the guitar in rhythm, but it's still there
Is it weird that I think the best part of this video was the VHS tracking line at the bottom of the screen? That reminded me of the 90's more than the song.
It's cool to see them performing this song when it had just came out. Sucks that the sound guy didn't give them a proper mix, I don't know WTF happened there.
It's multiple layers of compression. These are exaggerated versions of what mp3s sound like. As many are saying, this is probably a VCR tape and they're a bad start. You digitize it then convert it at some point then it goes through RU-vid compression as well. This is an extremely popular show in a golden age for for the format that had live music every episode. The sound engineer was likely amazing. Really doubt we need to be complaining here, especially when we only have access to this thanks to someone else's work.
I have to think that the vocal performance here is extremely difficult because of the off-key nature of the melody. Not many road signs in there to anchor off of.(?)
