I work on the show and have done for 17 years and was about 10 foot away, this is still one of the best performances I’ve ever seen on it! It fucking rocks!
Saw him live in The Ruby Lounge in Manchester..... Absolutely incredible! Kiwi wife dragged me there during a very difficult period of my life and the gig was incredible. Just no other words
I still think this is one of the greatest live performances. I remember watching this in 2008 and being like WHOAH. 11 years on and I still haven't closed my gob.
I've just found this - in 2020 ! So amazing. Massive Neil and Tim Finn fan over the years. But this blew me away - great lyrics, great guitar, and the drumming - well what can I say ! Just amazingggg !!! The passion in Liam comes through - I love it ! x
I went to every Liam show in Boston for years and hung out with Elroy and EJ for a spell (a story that is private! nerds) but every show was impeccible. This performance is incredible! Liam is such a phenomenal songwriter. He also makes the best performances. I love this video!
One of New Zealand's most authentic musicians. Keep up the good work Liam! Really enjoy the thought and care put into his music. I also want to say that I am tired of the hypocritical mainstream attitude of Zealand musicians mimicking American musicians but hating Americans despite ripping-off their music and lyrics. I give credit to people like Liam who do not do this type of shit! And who can dive deep into his own roots producing something that has its own quality. Thank you!
Saw them do this live in other voices St James Church Dingle absolutely savage !!! Back in 98 I was invited to my cousins house for lunch and I was 16 and too cool for my relations ... little did I know Neil and Liam were staying with them still a huge regret of my life !!!!!!
Amazing performance!! This dude is awesome. I wasn't expecting his bearded folksinger-kind of look, though! So different from his dad's innocent boy-next-door thing in the '80s.
@yuppy64 Agreed - I first heard the studio version of this song and was reminded a bit too much of Jake from the Scissor Sisters (he's got to stop that falsetto). But Liam's falsetto is much lower, and not annoying, and at least imbued with some emotion.
Loovvee this! Only took me 2 years to find it :) I looked everywhere for it after it was aired but couldn't find it. Ahh well :) Does anyone know the band at 3:39 the lead looks familiar but I can't place him. Thanks :) xo
@anglinthemtns At first I didn't like Liam because from the limited exposure I had to him at the time he seemed to be all falsetto and I didn't like that, then I saw this and grew up a little bit at the same time and am so proud of him.
@InvisibleGuitarisst Iffin you like the use of loop pedals. . . you should check out a cat called Dub FX. . . He is actually a beat boxer who layers everything live on the spot with loop pedals. . . Pretty sick stuff. . . watch?v=Gc67C94wSx0

I keep coming back here to see this. I can only image how it was on the night. Was it one take?

@@paulm4652I hope things are going better for you today.
Saw this when it was aired and yeah keep coming back to it as one of my go to's.@@liamcarey335

Shot my Bro
It's really f*cking good. I feel exactly the same.
It still makes me smile this performance and I saw it when it was first broadcast. The passion in this guy is remarkable.
H
Shot my Bro
quite possibly the best live performance i have ever seen on later with jools holland. BRILLIANT.
I played this for my friend and I said,"what for it...what for it"
Come on audience -- go properly crazy! You've just seen one of the all-time great performances.
The amazingly talented woman on the stage whom everybody forgot to mention is Eliza Jane Barnes
Also from a musical family :)
That's Jimmy Barne's daughter
One of the most amazing performances on the show ever!
I could watch this all day.
love this song,so dramatic,compassionate,compiled so well through the loop system.perfect
That perfomance was the reason i went and brought liams album.......
Love the progression of more instruments being added then the awesome drum beats at the end
I've just found this - in 2020 ! So amazing. Massive Neil and Tim Finn fan over the years. But this blew me away - great lyrics, great guitar, and the drumming - well what can I say ! Just amazingggg !!! The passion in Liam comes through - I love it ! x
I could watch this over and over, and very often do. A mesmerising performance from both of them
liam, you're the man. one of the best musicians of my generation.
I went to every Liam show in Boston for years and hung out with Elroy and EJ for a spell (a story that is private! nerds) but every show was impeccible. This performance is incredible! Liam is such a phenomenal songwriter. He also makes the best performances. I love this video!
this video deserves a million views... simple as that
this is so awesome. he really is underrated in nz, i have watched different versions of this performance for ages and will continue to.

I agree.
Liam has music in his blood.
Now, in 2022, this is still awesome 🔥🔥🔥
I've seen them open for Eddie twice...being there is even better. They are amazing, amazing musicians!
man this was such a good performance, brilliant artist.
"Brilliant"would be a bit of an understatement to describe this man!
FANTASTIC! just descovered at Pearl Jam's concert in Perth yesterday night! wonderful live!!!
Mindblowingly Amazing Performance. Wonderful!!!!!!
I can't believe this is the shy 16 year-old I saw perform with his dad years ago at a Neil Finn solo gig! Brilliant!!!
yeah i never heard of him before i saw this performance and i was absolutely blown away.
Sick musician...saw liam supportin the blacks keys in 2009
Saw them do this live in other voices St James Church Dingle absolutely savage !!! Back in 98 I was invited to my cousins house for lunch and I was 16 and too cool for my relations ... little did I know Neil and Liam were staying with them still a huge regret of my life !!!!!!
Magnificent!!!!!
A Jools-gem. Great performance.
Goosebumps
Top 50 all time live videos!

Its such great vibe too it.Great sound
Seen this guy November 08 in queens hall, Edinburgh supporting the black keys. Amazing....

Very original tune, and ape shit on the drums hell yeah! Imagine being there!
Saw him in Scarborough last night awesome performance well done liam finn
Beautiful song indeed!

That was dope
Jeez - That's INCREDIBLE
Nice way to put it. Music like this makes me proud to be a kiwi

Thanks so much! This is soooooooooo good!!!
SOOOOOO GOOOOD!
gave me shivers
I wish I was a fan when I saw him open of for eddie vedder (twice). incredible dude.. PJ/Ed ALWAYS gets great openers.
MARAVILHA !!!!
Five people dislike the colour of his shirt presumably?
been looking for musicians that use a loop pedal, this is amazing
Freakin Awesome!!!
Love this.
Such a Anzac tribute. Only on jools
I don't know which performance is better: This or Letterman. Either way, they're both brilliant. Thanks for posting this!
2024✌️
WOW !
Full-fat fucking excellent!
Namaste, Lian. 🔥
(Rhymes with 'sit')... a brick!! Holy smokes
Amazing performance!! This dude is awesome. I wasn't expecting his bearded folksinger-kind of look, though! So different from his dad's innocent boy-next-door thing in the '80s.
Underrated
Live multi-instrumentalists with loop pedals fascinate me.
I'll tire of them eventually, but for now - great.
yeah at some point you'll need a higher level of talent that you will never be able to do to entertain yourself
Maybe it's in the water over there, or maybe it's in his blood. Either way Liam is brilliant. I never tire of watching him and EJ play this song.
Passion
amazing! better than the Letterman version I think.
Henry!!!!!!!!!!!
elevadísimo
Fuckn awesome!
Not sure if you'll get this, or if anyone has already replied, but the chap at 3:39 is Ed Harcourt! He's great too.
looks like dad alot!
and the dude to the right if Dave Rosser who plays with Gutter Twins/Twilight Singers/Afghan Whigs
I was like- huh, it's an OK representation until like 3mins in. Then I was like OHMYLORDYES
Inspires me to grab the Gtar and make music!
Such a small man with such a big beard and musical talent.
this shit is fucking amazing
Fuckin superb. He loses timing on the drums a bit at the end, but it's such a superb performance you can forgive him.
@mcphert1 Dude! You should have seem them at truck festival, it was nothing short of epic!!!
Liam Finn bate o tiro de meta, corre, cruza a bola, corre de novo pra cabecear, e gol! (em termos musicais :-) )
Watch out there Liam, you nearly fell off the Drum kit. Quite a lot of energy spilling out of the rotor blades even after the music stops!
Amazing. How did gangdam style get a billion views and this one hundred thousand- there is no justice in this world.
this video has no dancing.
this is insane....
@11rabbitz They have a late Night Version where all the bands do at least 2/3 songs. Unless it's Paul McCartney. He gets about 5!
@yuppy64 Agreed - I first heard the studio version of this song and was reminded a bit too much of Jake from the Scissor Sisters (he's got to stop that falsetto). But Liam's falsetto is much lower, and not annoying, and at least imbued with some emotion.
Wow, Liam is very much like his Uncle Tim...
Its an octave pedal :)
@wadatdatdat sweet
Loovvee this! Only took me 2 years to find it :) I looked everywhere for it after it was aired but couldn't find it. Ahh well :)
Does anyone know the band at 3:39 the lead looks familiar but I can't place him.
Thanks :)
xo
does multitasking get any more hardcore than this? fukn brilliant...
4 dislikes...shame on all of you.
i found this through jon brions whats in your bag
@anglinthemtns At first I didn't like Liam because from the limited exposure I had to him at the time he seemed to be all falsetto and I didn't like that, then I saw this and grew up a little bit at the same time and am so proud of him.
Fucking mint
@Lodovicok92 Looks like he's using a Line 6 DL-4
Wayne Rooney with hair
does anyone have any idea what kind of pedal he stepped on when he goes into the bassline at 1:38 ?
@InvisibleGuitarisst Iffin you like the use of loop pedals. . . you should check out a cat called Dub FX. . . He is actually a beat boxer who layers everything live on the spot with loop pedals. . . Pretty sick stuff. . . watch?v=Gc67C94wSx0
