Saw these guys in Arizona in the late 90’s and performed at the Cajun House a bar I was allowed to be in during the concert but had to leave at a certain time cause I was like 15 or 16 I think. I had won tickets on the Howard Stern radio show and phoned in to give the right answer to a Pearl Jam song and won 2 tickets. Went and while in line sold the other ticket to someone for 10 bucks that wanted to go with their friends and had no ticket. I stood up front by the right huge speaker taller than me they were like over 6 feet and huge speakers by the stage on each side. They Played this song and its my favorite that they do and I was singing along with him and he looked over at me and smiled at me and shook his head with me. I’ll never forget that. I still have part of the ticket they ripped a piece off and gave the rest back to me at the door.
That is by far one of the coolest songs about dope on this earth. As a former addict & musician the lyrics, tempo & speed of the track does take you down where the river flows .
An excellent live rendition. Great backing vocals on the higher register; shed new light on the tune. Cool chord break in the chorus. They rocked it. Total pros. Very boss.
I absolutely agree. Whoever was on the control board did amazing and the band sounds amazing. I actually like this version better then the record version.
Oasis influence is in there a tad, but aside from the vocal tones and inflections, Oasis is too stuck on sounding like a new age Beatles cover band. The longer drawn out vocals that stretch throughout, is really the only comparison I see. There's a fine line between being influenced by other artists, and implementing that into your sound, as opposed to literally sounding like a cover band, which is what I think of when I hear Oasis.

Facts
There's people that've been like "it's not about heroin or anything like that" are dumb because it is
An excellent live rendition. Great backing vocals on the higher register; shed new light on the tune. Cool chord break in the chorus. They rocked it. Total pros. Very boss.
Saw these guys a half dozen times in the 90's. Fan for life.
Wow. I never heard that lead stand out like that. How did. I ever miss this after all these years.
Don't have to do dope to luv this song it is dope ✴️
Always loved the hidden Eurotrash Girl in this album- they always rock it awesome live too!!
I 've seen several videos of the band performing this song and this is in my opinion the best performance of the bunch.

Memories of the Sea Doo on lake mead... kerosene hat blasting on the Walkman 😎

Sick bassline...just...

Great alt band.
😇GVB ❤
David Lowery, Johnny Hickman, David Lovering, and...a new bassist??
Bob Rupe
@@steveorbit wonder what happened to the other dude. Bob just elongates the backing vocals too much if that makes sense.
@@ryanstroup8379 That was Davey Gallagher. He left this band for John Hiatt. He's been Elvis Costello's bass player for the last 20 years
Cracker fan , no doubt
Well, idk about anyone else here, however, i think this song does a sufficient job at making one want to go down as some disgraced cosmonaut. 😂
Sounds a bit like Camper Van Beethoven? There is a reason for that.
Did they ever have a tour sponsored by NABISCO?
I think they may have been sponsored by Oreo once?😆
y it slowed down, sucks
The best Oasis song i ever heard
Wrong band
