Not sure how you manage to get this many ultra-talented musicians in one band and come up with such a cohesive sound. Cake is one of the best ever and probably always will be.
This band is by far the best band out there. They have great lyrics, and noone sounds like them. But I have to say, if you haven't seen CAKE live, you are missing out on an experience. They shine LIVE. Simply amazing.
Saw them do this in January of this year. Five years later and they are still spot-on! Love them basically telling the audience to "Go to Hell" and everyone is in Heaven listening to them!
Not sure if its me getting older or if its just a change in taste of music, used to hate when live performances widely deviated from the studio version. Cake's live performances just feel real. It feels like this is the way the studio versions should have been.
Fasion nugget is one of my favorite records of all time!!! We used to bomb around town in my cousins 1970 Barracuda and listen to The Distance all day, GOOD TIMES!!!!
I had the pleasure of seeing them at UC Davis in the Freedom Hall I think in 2012, small, intimate venue. Of course I wore a short skirt and a long jacket! They are so incredibly tight, I was amazed. It was cool because he said something like "you probably noticed that there was no opening band on your ticket-well that;s because WE are the opener! Yes, Cake is opening for Cake!" And they did the show, went on break then came back and spent some more time with us. Love them so much! The thinking man's band! That is able to also not take themselves TOO seriously and laugh at themselves, and even their own success!!! Good people!!
thats probably the good thing about thier live act, the singer put a sorta bluesy style into his singing pattern, waiting that half a bar to sing a lyric with a sort of attitude attached to it, its one of the things i personally love about cake
i love cake. They are currently my favorite band. They have a lot of variety in the music they play. There is something for every mood. "Sheep go to Heaven" is a good song when you're upbeat and "Frank Sinatra" is a good song when you're in a sorta melancholy mood.
Uhm.. for a band as funky as Cake the audience is standing pretty still.. i would've been raving and singing and dancing like a loon if i had the chance to see them live :D
every time they they come out with a new album.. I'm freaked out.. like what happened to Cake. then second time through I'm completely blown away.. Have and love every single album
The true greatness of Cake is that they go for style over flashiness. They let the songs sort of mold themselves into what the music naturally wants to be. Bravo!
@@lucadifiore8680 Awesome! What an artist. This whole band rocks not a weak player in the group. And their sounds compliment each other so well you can make out each individuals performance. It's like a symphony
It was amazing. I was working at this stupid chicken place and hating every minute of it then i heard this come on the radio and then i was happy and wanted to stay hoping it would play more cake. Cake makes people happy. The food and this awesome band.
Dude when you play live you're bound to mess up sometime. The great thing about Cake is that John will take creative liberties with the song, like having the singing match a different beat than the original.
Everything about this band was unique, fun to watch and dance to, perhaps most reminiscent of Velvet Underground mixed with Norteño. Their music videos look like they were made for $5 -- but are more clever and engaging than 90% of other bands that play in clubs and bars. John McCrea had that "cool bandleader vibe," akin to Greg Kihn and Steve Miller. Would love to see them perform...
CAKE in Cambridge.. eons, 10 yrs? ago :( a smallish gorgeous restored theatre. Bounced & Sang & Sang & Bounced & Sweated, & More Cowbell & Trumpet & MORE EVERTHING! it was Arco Arena & No Phone, I'm a Dime, & all that funky, jazzy, bluesy stuff. ♤♡◇♧☆¤●¿?
I have seen hundreds of concerts, but the best one I have been to was last summer at the fair, the stuffed hot shitty venue was not even an issue with cake playing, it was the BEST show I have ever been to, I was crying like a bitch when they took the stage...
Dedico questo capolavoro di Cake ad una donna molto speciale per me Narica Quintavalle il mio primo vero unico indimenticabile ed insostituibile amore della mia vita. Una donna bellissima, affascinante bionda castana occhi verdi grigi da cerbiatta, molto carina paziente e sensibile, elegante al tempo stesso sportiva, intelligente e sapiente, un po' malinconica ma soprattutto unica ed indimenticabile ed insostituibile amore della mia vita Narica Quintavalle ti amo più della mia vita. Un bacio ed un abbraccio forte ed appassionato 💖💖💖😍😍😍💖💖💖😘😘😘😘😘💖💖💖❤️💓❤️💓❤️💓💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕Massimo
lol. I KNOW. i wished they played the cover of I will Survive also. I loved when they played short skrit and long jacket and everyone was doing the "nana nana nananana". and when the lead singer was talking about the ppl who were "energy surfers" LMAO.
So was I...Dude, what a sick concert. I wish they played Sheep and Nugget, but it was still a fucking sweet concert. Best was definitely Comfort Eagle, when the entire audience hollared Dude during the chorus. Or Never There when they did the same thing
So classic. One of the best bands from California in history. Trumpet player motivated me to play. So much style and substance.
you know who I am in awe of? the sound man. because every instrument is bang on, and I can hear them all great. congrats to the production staff.
I've seen them once, and I think their stage volume is very low.

not a truer statement my friend!
This band is by far the best band out there. They have great lyrics, and noone sounds like them. But I have to say, if you haven't seen CAKE live, you are missing out on an experience. They shine LIVE. Simply amazing.
Subjective as this statement is, I think Cake has produced the most original/unique music ever
I totally agree with you, even tho they're not my most favourite band
I agree, comfort eagle, frank Sinatra, and sheep go to heaven and many more are such unique songs
lead guitar player is so precise
Cake. Best band on the planet earth?
Saw them do this in January of this year. Five years later and they are still spot-on! Love them basically telling the audience to "Go to Hell" and everyone is in Heaven listening to them!

Miss Freeborn Hall.

man this band is the shit!! good god they are all "ON" in this gig. never have I been this impressed...spread the word people.
i love cake. They are currently my favorite band. They have a lot of variety in the music they play. There is something for every mood. "Sheep go to Heaven" is a good song when you're upbeat and "Frank Sinatra" is a good song when you're in a sorta melancholy mood.
I've been lucky enough to see Cake 3 times now, and like the comment below they SHINE live!
Holy crap... the trumpet is awesome. I want to play this on my trombone/baritone since I don't have a trumpet... :)
that's one of the greatest thing about cake. they do everything different
I love how good they are live!
Gosh they would be so awesome to see in concert!
Im a fan of cake,..since 1997
the breakdown is amazing.... gotta love cake for getting the whole audience to chant go to hell all calm sounding for like 2 minutes lol
October 7th!!! Davis CA!!!!! Driving 10 hours!!!! FUCKING WORTH IT!
such a nice band
Uhm.. for a band as funky as Cake the audience is standing pretty still.. i would've been raving and singing and dancing like a loon if i had the chance to see them live :D
this bass player is immaculate live, i am envious
every time they they come out with a new album.. I'm freaked out.. like what happened to Cake. then second time through I'm completely blown away.. Have and love every single album
great band,great drumming!
The true greatness of Cake is that they go for style over flashiness. They let the songs sort of mold themselves into what the music naturally wants to be. Bravo!
Would love to see these guys some day!
love them so much!! keep rocking guys
I know just like you guys are so nice and nice to see you guys too and I hope you guys are doing well and enjoy your day
If you're talking about switching the words 'smile' and 'laugh', it is always performed live that way.
They certainly created a very unique sound, and a great one at that!
the voices sound exactly like on the album!!!
Going to see them for the first time tonight in Boulder, CO! Been waiting so long to see them...this has me PUMPED!
Very nice, they rock live, amazin
I would like to see this show on a DVD.
Cakes from Sacramento, I live in Sac. Im proud knowing such a good band formed here. I really would like to go see them.
Love it, the genius of incorporating a Ennio Maricone Spaghetti Western-ish is the best.
Love the buildup at the end of Sheep. The interview is pretty sweet too.
Why do I have to cry like a baby everytime I hear Frank Sinatra?
So lucky! I've wanted to see these guys for years. Never seem to be touring near me, but maybe someday.
I don’t know where you’re from but they just announced some tour dates on the east coast as well as the west coast. Saw them once. They are Badass.
Saw them do this last night in Nashville! The guitarist had the same shirt on ! LOL!! Unbelievably fantastic performance!
fantastic bass-line.
John seems to be singing when he's actually talking! He's amazing!
Xan McCurdy plays the guitar like motherfuckin' riot!
That's awesome! I would've loved to hear Italian Leather Sofa live. I wish they'd come to Victoria...
CAKE is amazing
wow there amazing live jesus
I think, they put the name "CAKE", maybe because is a mix of all the music styles, I hope that i have the chance of see them live
Frank Sinatra is my favourite song of all time, and I'm not just saying that. It really is.
Cake!! we love from the argentina!! is amazing!!
the keyboardist plays like 10 instruments! i don't cake could survive without that guy!
@@lucadifiore8680 Awesome! What an artist. This whole band rocks not a weak player in the group. And their sounds compliment each other so well you can make out each individuals performance. It's like a symphony
Geniuses indeed, this is amazing.
I love the effect on the Acoustic Guitar

Saw these guys at the Middle East in Boston. Unbelievable show.
They did the Middle East? Such a small venue; that most have been dope
Yep prob 5-6 years ago downstairs. It was great.

we love cake.. from argentina
I love the upbeat musicfor the all over depressing lyrics lol VIVA LA CAKE!
@ttlycrazy4177 it was professionally recorded; the crowd is quiet, as all the sound is coming from their mics.

sheep go to heaven is their best live song
@paullally07 They are going on a major tour, and some of the spots are in europe.

lol. I KNOW. i wished they played the cover of I will Survive also. I loved when they played short skrit and long jacket and everyone was doing the "nana nana nananana". and when the lead singer was talking about the ppl who were "energy surfers" LMAO.
That rhythm guitar sounds like a plastic harp played through a mic'd iphone speaker. Only cake could pull it off.
So was I...Dude, what a sick concert. I wish they played Sheep and Nugget, but it was still a fucking sweet concert. Best was definitely Comfort Eagle, when the entire audience hollared Dude during the chorus. Or Never There when they did the same thing
