Hands down one of Uncle Bob's classics.

[@christiananderson6761]

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

[@invisibleboy3997]

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

[@mail_lady]

this song makes me cry everytime i hear it guaranteed

[@georgedevereux9631]

Strange so do I....

[@punksofnewengland]

"Speed up, slow down, go all around in the end." 😭
Same!

[@jeff7764]

Why lol

[@farmasyst]

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

[@marcuswinstanley3492]

best band ever

[@user-jv9gx9dh9k]

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

[@Greenlion781]

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.

[@igavehimadollar3354]

So good

[@SkormFlinxingGlock]

I wanna see the rest of the set!

[@BeeTrillion]

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

[@scottface11]

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

[@develody]

This is a hoot! Good stuff

[@douglaswilke8582]

Bob Pollard...fucking icon!

[@alaricperez]

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

[@nickrandles1102]

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

[@LuxeXx]

+Nick Randles they don't at all

[@MikeGervasi]

Clearly they don't. Sad state of music now. No concept of a song delivered straight with no BS.

[@JohnnyMalloy]

Mitch Mitchell FTW

[@brezermen9407]

nice

[@cakacako]

2:45 best part. Hahahahaha.

[@cobyutterback]

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. RUclips "Ralphfest3 Guided By Voices Tribute Band" to watch :-) Cheers

[@nicolasmrn]

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

[@edcoates2456]

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

[@JDGuitar82]

The guy is using a Squier telecaster!

[@ahmedmahon2022]

Only GBV could get away with that.

[@meleepinata]

Does it sound good? Ok then.

[@nicolasmrn]

2:22 Bob Pollard playing drums with one arm

[@kaewonf8]

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

[@rickg8015]

kaewonf8 the visual imagery of Bob’s lyrics are gold.. Cuervo Gold. Lol..

[@Douglas-ow1tg]

Tractor rope chain

[@heggy_69]

Enough shots of the crowd, guys?

[@Crazyfeline]
