Today is Sunday, June 18, 2023 and my wife and I are heading to Nashua, NH for tonight's Toad the Wet Sprocket concert. Marcy Playground is opening for them. Super excited!
Awesome live version! This song always brings me back to being a kid listening to the radio on summer vacation. To me it’s a timeless classic that always puts me in a great mood for the day!
I have been on a Toad binge lately, learning a couple of their songs to add to set. Realizing lately what a kick ass drummer Randy is! Very tasteful when it is needed and just jamming when it calls for it! Need more live dates please!
What a legitimately timeless and beautiful song. TTWS is one of those bands that you look back on and wonder "How the hell did they not become the biggest band on the planet?!" I put The Cranberries in that same category.
Glen is the best thing that ever came along. I mean, if a singing voice & song, send & gives you the chills, to the point of feeling it in your heart, soul, & your whole inner being, from the inside out, say no more 💙
I met Randy Guss (drummer) as a good friend of his sister. We went to see Johnny Carson together and he old me he was in a band. 198? before fame. "What's it called?" "Toad, the Wet Sprocket." Uh, huh. Imagine my surprise when I see them on David Letterman not more than a few years later. At first, David wouldn't let them play their own music. The next year they were invited back and told the show, "We will play our own music."
I am so pissed that anyone is going to critique them for changing keys...they are awesome no matter what key they are in. Are you even musicians? Can you play a note?
Pst, be pissed. When I pay money to go see that live I expect they put on a good show. What the FUCK does your silly little rant about being a musician have to do with a God damn thing? So movie critics should shut the hell up if they don't act? Get your head out of your stupid ass.
Shawn Kane People aren't taking into account that the poor guy almost lost an arm and thought he might never play again. It was a MAJOR injury and on the contrary to what these clowns are saying, takes a tremendous amount of talent to pull off.
I like this version too! For those complaining about the lower key here is a near flawless version live from 1992 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fe2G4h13wiE.html
Yeah, agreed! Although it’s common for singers as they age to lose their vocal range abilities. Many 90’s rock singers have since “lost” their voices now and have to play their old songs in a half or full step lower.
I still love this song. I still have this CD with “Walk On The Ocean” on it. It’s still one of my favorites. I’m a 55 year old African American/Cherokee woman. It’s just music that transcends age, time, space, and everything! I love it!
Whenever I think of the 1990s, I immediately think of this band. There are other bands that I associate with the great music of the 1990s, including Gin Blossoms, Dave Mathews Band, the Wallflowers, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Better Than Ezra, and Third Eye Blind. But Toad the Wet Sprocket started it all. It's interesting that they broke through during the Grunge era, with bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. But Toad the Wet Sprocket bridged that gap to the pop-rock sound of the mid-1990s.
Bands tend to play in higher keys live because it projects farther in open spaces. Also unless I am mistaken, when they re-recorded the song for the All You Want album, they did it in the higher key.
mercfan74 yeah.. exactly, which is a shame. there are tons of singers who as they get older maintain range, and it's all in how you take care of your voice and your body. toad sounded great live, but they were extremely lackluster and stand-still. i won't be seeing them again
