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.

Saw these guys a half dozen times in the 90's. Fan for life.

Always loved the hidden Eurotrash Girl in this album- they always rock it awesome live too!!

Don't have to do dope to luv this song it is dope ✴️
Memories of the Sea Doo on lake mead... kerosene hat blasting on the Walkman 😎
I 've seen several videos of the band performing this song and this is in my opinion the best performance of the bunch.
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.
It’s the background vocals. But everyone very TIGHT
one of my all time favs
Such a dope song. 4 chords ... All groove

This song defines "the pocket" and back beat
The better rock band !

Sick bassline...just...

Great alt band.
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.
@@Safetysweet That was Davey Gallagher. He left this band for John Hiatt. He's been Elvis Costello's bass player for the last 20 years
😇GVB ❤
Cracker fan , no doubt
2024
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?😆
Actually one tour was sponsored by Southern Cracker operating out of Springfield.
The best Oasis song i ever heard
Wrong band
