Guided by Voices - Tractor Rape Chain (Live at Rock the Garden) 

the greatest band to ever exist? its not actually a question, the answer is yes.

Hands down one of Uncle Bob's classics.

A stage of old men...ROCKING THE FACES OFF THIS CROWD!!! GBV the band that others wish they were.

this song makes me cry everytime i hear it guaranteed

I saw them do this 2 weeks ago, and Bob sounded even better, 5 years later.

best band ever

So good

Tobin and Mitch!!! GBV between 1994ish-1996ish were the best live shows.

This is wild, I've never seen the original lineup live. First time I saw them was at the Fantasy Club in Lakewood, OH when it was Pollard backed by Cobra Verde, and then the second time I saw them was post-Cobra Verde still w/ Gilliard but with the dude from the Amps and the drummer from the Breeders.

I wanna see the rest of the set!

I have yet to see Bob and the guys play live...... I'm not worthy...... lol

Bob Pollard...fucking icon!

This is a hoot! Good stuff

No sure James Mercer would have ever written a song without GBV influence.

The new line up is fantastic, but goddamn do i miss Mitch

Mitch Mitchell FTW

Ijust hope all those kids out there actually know what in the HELL they are witnessing...

2:45 best part. Hahahahaha.

The guy is using a Squier telecaster!

I fucking love this band.. but im getting dad rock twinges seeing this.

I can hear Roger Daltrey in Bob's singing style.

love this had the pleasure of playing these songs in a special tribute set for a benefit in Orlando this winter and it was a very cool experience. RU-vid "Ralphfest3 Guided By Voices Tribute Band" to watch :-) Cheers

nice

2:22 Bob Pollard playing drums with one arm

The tractor rape chain is Cuervo Gold? That's one interpretation that never occurred to me XD

Enough shots of the crowd, guys?
