It hurts my heart to see Kevin playing. I saw them in Newcastle UK shortly before his passing. Thanks for being part of the band that have brought us such awesome and beautiful music. RIP.
@@samuelmoreno36 Same thing here. I didn't learn the existence of Frightened Rabbit until I learnt their lead singer's crippling depression lead to his passing.
I saw them in Leeds on the Sumday tour. They were skateboarding outside their bus during the day and just hanging about. I bought a t-shirt off Kevin the bassist, and an Arm of Roger album, as he was working on the merchandise stall. It's still my favourite gig.
"I don't know what to say, I just want to keep on playing then go out there and be one of you guys" - good old Jason. I wish this band were still going.
I remember seeing this on TV at the time. I would've been 13. The sound always stuck with me. Glad I've found it again. Great set. Also, I remember one of the presenters (Lauren Laverne?) introducing the band by saying it looked like the drummer had tried to eat a bear. Forget no one had beards like that in '03
This was how I discovered this amazing band. I’d lost my mates and within ten seconds of Jason starting to sing I did not care that I was on my own. Still the greatest set I’ve ever seen, they made that Glasto for me. What a ducking band!
If you like them, you'll love this: Arm of Roger - I Like Lo-Fi Recordings ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aV5wLv7tA6s.html from the album 'The Ham and Its Lily' (2002)
My mate made me go to the other stage to see this.... Been one of my favourite bands ever since. Saw them again in Brighton about 4 years ago. Proper band.
thanks so much for posting that, there're one of my favourite band and unfortunately I missed this gig. I saw them in 2001 for on The Software Slump tour and this concert will always remain one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I'm hoping to see Jason for his solo album.
i was there; they came on, Jason said " Hi, we're Grandaddy; there's five of us on stage and we took six different drugs between us..." and they ROCKED!
I only found them last year because PUP did a cover of AM 180 and I realised that was the song I had stuck in my head for years. Glad I found them though.
If you haven't heard their brilliant album The Sophtware Slump I highly recommend that you do, its a masterpiece. I saw them in 2005 at Brixton Academy, London and they were amazing. Such a shame they split, they had a real unique sound.
I saw them play in Atlanta - they used a projector to incorporate video through their routine. They played Levitz at double speed with a great montage of vintage cartoons. I wish it was on video.
I met Jason once and told him how much I liked the really cool video footage they would play on screen at the shows. I think he was maybe not expecting that to be the thing I wanted to talk about. 😆 But he was very nice and I will always remember that conversation with him. Just a really modest guy and funny.
ey mate its been 11 years but this hurts to read so much now, especially with the fact that kevin garcia. they might not even do live shows any more because of his passing but ya never know.
like most people i first heard them in "28 days later" soundtrack with am 180, ive proper loved them ever since then, i wish i cud of seen them live at sum point, its a crime they were never massively famous.
Great sound. I've been away from the UK for a few years now and Glastonbury is one of the things I really miss. Reading wasn't bad but Glasto was a full body immersion ;) Would have loved to have been there for this :)
aWESOME VIDEO. I saw them in New Orleans twice and they were amazing both times. I met them and smoked pot with kevin in their bus. quite hospitable of him. They're not trying to look hilbilly. that's just how they dress and keep their beards. All these dudes are from the suburban california skate scene (that's how they met), filled with jason's dreaded mini malls. not really hillbilly at all. more like bored middle class.
Just enough? Balance is good...best not to overdo it. A band this awesome should only be appreciated in moderation. Enjoy responsibly. Granddaddy LITE!!! NOW with extra words n stuff!
hate the drums in this version but it's whatever ... not saying drummer is bad or its wrong ... i just think the actual drums just dont fit with the song.....
Aaron is a legendary beast of the drum set and a master of subtlety. I've never found his technique to be lacking rather always keeping it tight and simple with some essential details that make his contributions unique. Keep hold in it down aaron! Check out his beat blasting skills in his current band, the good luck thrift store outfit if you haven't heard them yet. Not on the same level of epicness as the grandiose-daddy but nothing to sneeze at either. Highly listenable old timey country western folk-punk vibes with a touch of modernization...they do a country version of sabotage by beasties boys for chrissake doesn't get any more exciting and courageous than that!
