NOTES: GUIDED BY VOICES - LIVE IN LA (Rockathon 1996). Here is my favorite live video of one of my favorite bands of all time. It was put out by Rockathon but has been out of print for years. Professionally shot at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles on May 10, 1996. This performance features the "classic" GBV lineup (minus Greg Demos - Matt Sweeney from Chavez fills in). This video is over two hours long and features 43 songs and FIVE encores! Enjoy.

"Alright this is our last song"
play for another hour
This is the greatest rock band of all time.
yep!
And they influenced the Strokes, the other greatest band of all time.
Tied with Fugazi Sleater Kinney, Gang of Four , The Clash.
Ciaran O Sullivan Try Velvet Underground and Stooges.
yes, yes it is
I'm fairly convinced that Pollard keeps his songs less than three minutes in length so that he can continually quench his thirst for beer. I love that strategy.
And when he realizes he needs to pace a little bit plays mesh gear lol
Legend has it they still don’t have any vocals in the monitors
GODDAMN!
Fucking Whiskey is like 400 years old. Fucking pathetic.All the feedback. Hollywood twats.
That man singing is a hero.
I was there! I stood next to Mitch in the bathroom during the break. I turned my head toward him and asked if I could get a job carrying around their amps. Looking back, he probably thought I was a fvcking weirdo. Some drinking implied.
Yeah well, I was at the Pukkelpop 1995 gig. Look at Bob's sweatshirt. I gave it to him. Belgium ftw.
@@jochemstruelens9410 legend 👑
Kick drum sits in the mix like my drunk uncle in a weak lawn chair.
annabelleshaus : brilliant LOL 😂
Yeah sound guy blows.
yeah gotta rolla bit of top end off,that's fer sure!!!😳
And as much as Bobs voice is occasionally corrupted by alcohol and tobacco fumes it will always remain Powerful and True
hell yea
What kind of deal did he make w the devil! It's like he drinks beer, closes his eyes, and just starts singing and it just keeps coming....That's some superhuman shit right there.
Robert Pollard is the personification of the American Dream, prove me wrong.
@@mikewurzelbacher8508 Can't. Wouldn't try. Cause you right, boy!
@@mikewurzelbacher8508 from your surname I'm tempted to say you are even more so my friend
@@RJH1971 ha, I see what you did there :P
I can't stand how horrific the kick drum is. The FOH engineer was probably a death metal or ska fan. The monitor feedback is usually cus of Bob's "cuffing" of the SM57. As an audio engineer I've seen this at Sapphire Supper Club in Orlando in 1999; then, they used a Sabine on the monitors. The F/B was targeted and gone in 10 minutes and Bob had all the monitor he needed at that amazingly crazy show.
I'm amazed how tame the crowd was. In Orlando 'we' were nuts and Bob was soaked with beer that was tossed on him in a total celebration of seeing GBV for the first time in our lives. It was such an amazing show. I'll never forget it.....ever.
oh, STFU.
Doug Erhard oh, SMD
there have been far far worse bass drum sounds in the history of live music
uh actually its pretty bad really and the problem is that it is way too loud and the bass guitar is nowhere
Amen. That's why I never gigged with a hole in my bass drum head. They'd always fuck it up and make it sound all metal and shit.

this person, doing god's work right here 👆
should be pinned, OP! can we get a pin over here?
lol encore 5
“I need more bass drum”
What I wouldn't give to have caught GBV in 1996. I was 19 and lived in Bob's hometown, but I hadn't yet discovered him.
I did get to attend the 40th anniversary show in Dayton last month. GBV in their hometown with my all time fave Dinosaur Jr opening up. Magical.
Sweet. I went the second night. Got too see my 2 favorite bands Built to Spill and GBV together in my home town. Crazy
MATT SWEENEY!
i hope this video exists here forever. Please God don't ever take it away from me.
Matt Sweeney has just worked and worked and worked.
Golden era Chavez
Best fucking frontman ever, band ain't too shabby either, plus i've always categorised smothered in hugs as neo grunge trance
haha great categoriewvf;oerubver. no but srsly
Monitor feedback ends around Motor Away and FOH starts to get it the mix right. This is a total gem for us GBV fans. They were so young then.
Best American band ever !!
40!
I was still in my twenties at this time!!! lol Man to be young again
They were in their mid to late 30's in the mid 90's. 😂
i listened to them a lot from 93-96 - i finally got to see them around this time - holy shit i couldn't believe pollard's energy live.
Kinda makes me wanna stand in my city centre with a huge placard stating im guided by voices ,and stopping randoms saying excuse me sir /madam or sir and madam have you heard the good news ,you havent well its guided by voices and unky bob is my savior
Greatest. American Band. Ever.
I was at the Gibson's Tempe show the night after this....before the show, I stood in line for the men's room with Bob and he told me about his brother Jimmy playing basketball for the Sun Devils. His voice was completely thrashed from this Whiskey show.
I was there, too!
Such amazing story
One of the most important videos on youtube
I've been into rock music since the British Invasion, have seen hundreds of live shows, and consider myself very knowledgeable about rock music from the 60's to now (1/1/2022). But I only ever knew one GBV song, "My Valuable Hunting Knife". I somehow missed knowing about this group until recently. A big miss on my part. They are a great band and, my God, how prolific a songwriter Bob Pollard is.
i mean, if you're only gonna know one of their songs, that's truly an excellent choice
I dubbed this on cassette to play in the car when the VHS came out. Love it!
What I'm doing right now.
this is unreal. maybe the best setlist ive ever seen.
Robert Pollard was doing a crossword one day, looking at the hints and probably thought "wow! what brilliant song names! I think I'll be a musician!"
Holy cow! I was at this show. SPOON and Meshell Ndegeocello opened for GBV. So great to see it here--what a flashback :)
+Wendy Worthington Holy fuck, that must have been incredible. I love Spoon as much as GBV. What were they like back then?
That show was the first I had heard of Spoon and I was hooked. I remember thinking I had stumbled upon something very good. They were super energetic and spot on.
I wish I could have seen them back then. Would also be great to see video from that night.
Can we all take a moment to acknowledge that this performance of Wished I Was A Giant is the greatest vocal performance of any rock song ever?
Willing to say that Robert Pollard is the best frontman of all time.
I've been pondering your last statement a lot lately. At times, man he sure is. BAR NONE.
@@TheErikrust hi, it’s me again. Cheers! I am seriously seeing how brilliant Pollard is, after years flowing by, I understand him even better now. And watching things on RUclips, that I’ve never seen before. I was impressed with how sometimes, he’s extremely impressive vocally, and then it’s gone back down to normal. In those moments, he is at the top of the game, like a proper rock god of any century. He is a unique character in the world of rock, and most impressive and inspiring “rock star”. He is one though, one of the greatest I say!
yeah, great performance and Gibby slept through it!
It's such a fuckin impossible song to sing, too
RUclips will do, but i wish badly to go back in time to witness this lineup
I have the flyer for this show hanging up at my house
"where's the set list?" "Is anybody doing sound?"
No monitors, no set list. Phenomenal!
in 2012 I was 20 years old with the X's on my hands and Robert Pollard handed me a bottle of Crown Royal. Likely trying to hand it to the cute girls on either side of me but that show was a blast. Never had a good time at the Beachum until that point.
They are truly unique.
Back in 1998, i discovered them (and so many others !!!) on the MATADOR RECORDS double best of. Immediate and eternal love.
What a gift for poets.
❤
My brother was a doorman at Stache's in Columbus, told me to give them a listen, about 20 years ago. I had no clue I've been living in Dayton literally blocks away from these guys.
Matt Sweeney has more cred than anyone. Ever.
For real though, google his credits. He has a stupid amount of cred. As a producer, engineer, co-songwriter. He done ok for himself. I always wondered why Bob quit working with him but its clear he priced himself out of Bob's range.
Was he just helping out here? Never knew he had a stint with them
@@lucid685 I think so, I think he was based in LA back then (I heard Chavez was a NYC band but pretty sure they had a stint in LA)
@@lotsofciggies Nah, I don't think it's a matter of money - at least not in that sense. He put music aside and focused on his day job in NYC (I believe?) in the late 90s, and likely wasn't available to move out to Dayton and join GBV
Fucking amazing hearing Tobin Sprout.
I HAVE to see these guys live. Not doing so is not an option.
This version of gold heart mountain top queen directory sends chills down my spine
Quite likely the very best capturing of this band at its ultimate peak.
At Bob's creative peak, yes. As far as the band, the lineups featuring Kevin March/Doug are the strongest. In my opinion.
Saw them on isolation drills. Just such a great band. Wish they would be around forever
what a bunch of winners. A+.
this was prime GBV era. They used to come to SF a couple times a year at least. Those Bimbos 365 shows were beautiful times
I know and love all of these songs, what an amazing set- and quality recording
Even though they lack a proper "setlist", this is without argument a remarkable set. Hit after hit after hit!
this is the best version of Wished i was Giant,(among others). i feel this song showcases why his vocals are so amazing like no other.
Oh god!!! Thanks for posting. I would have given a kidney to have been at this. I fully knew and loved them right then but I was 15 and stuck in a small town. I would have flipped my wig. This is MY classic rock.
Magical to hear him refer to "Under the Bushes" as the new stuff since in my mind it's equally classic.
an audience without cell phones, super refreshing
I got to go to Tempe tomorrow!
Such a great band - and "Under the Bushes..." is a formidable record
Moves me to tears
ahhh the good ol' days when you could actually smoke AT A FUCKING ROCK SHOW
Knowing that I will never get to see them live, I watch this at least once a month. So great. Bob is the best drunk dude ever.
Dang where you from?
Saw them live last week.
i'm about to see them at riot fest man i'm crying as we speak
Mathew Peachey I’m from Manila and missed my chance when I was younger to see them live over 22 years ago when I visited the US.. Now health problems plague me and won’t be able to see them live anymore.
@@rickg8015 it's been a while but I hope you're doing well, if not better, since this was posted
America's finest export.
Been listening to GBV for just 2 months now, wishing I were old enough/aware to see this show live if only for the moves @39:09
Whole set but esp. the encores 👌
Commercial success aside, The Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Nirvana etc. have nothing on GBV. Robert Pollard is the Loki of Rock Gods, melancholy trickster who knows the deepest truths.
You said it.
but don’t understate how great those bands bar nirvana are. personally i prefer GBV to them all sure (maybe not the Beatles not sure), but that doesn’t mean GBV are somehow objectively better
@@thebasedgodmax1163 Of course not. Ranking bands is nonsense anyway, but one has a sense of who is epic as opposed to who is pretty good. Bob would be the first to admit that he could never have become the artist he is without Lennon, McCartney, Davies et al.
@@thenavajoknow i always felt like GBV were basically if the Beatles and Kinks did 90s indie rock. Bob’s voice is very British Invasion-y i think
@max k absolutely not bar nirvana. You may not like them personally but they are one of the best bands of the 80s/90s easily on par with a great band like GBV
this is the best video on the internet
Just found this....what a show GBV put on that night in 1996! Greatest band I'd never heard of, until a couple of years ago.
Most great bands have 20 good songs not 44 in one set.
Pollard is the man! He writes a song quicker then most people’s visits at a bar
Isn't that incredible what Bob can do, write songs. He still has that nitch today.
i recall a bit from a radio interview with the band long ago... "bob, I hear you write ten songs every morning on the crapper," "yeah, and five of them are good!"
the set list is WAY MORE than most all bands greatest!!....And he has been writing hists for 25 years since this was done!!
I was here/there. grateful. sad for lost time. Typical Whisky show - no legit sound person. I actually grabbed a set list from the stage and then gave it back after realizing I was too eager. I was part of the problem. Bob's lack of vocals was a real problem. We couldn't hear any Bob in the front. When music was good and live music was great .... and real.
Good golly this is some life affirming stuff
Remarkably similar to how they sounded (even the songs they played were similar) when I caught them in 2002. Hard to believe that was almost 15 years ago. I was a sophomore in HS. Jesus.
+Jimmy Jamestown Massacre going to see them this summer. really cool but odd rock band. many great songs.
i hope robert isnt fighting with the band members when i see them
Always gonna have a soft spot for the classic line-up
I swear, I watched this VHS like 20 times back in the day.
Mad props to the singer for wearing a pukkelpop '95 sweater.
Great! Thanks to mumblepop for sharing this stunner.
This is such a great show. I, too, owned this for centuries, but no longer have a VHS player, like most people. This needs to be released to DVD. The only thing that could make this show better if had Demos and fewer monitor problems.
That was Matt Sweeney
Just realised I'd seen them on every tour they've done in the UK since 1994
So you've seen them twice?
@@duncefunce1513
Glasgow original Cathouse
Glasgow new Cathouse
Glasgow Barfly
London Village underground
@@johnmg88 cool, I was just teasing. I saw them at Village Underground, WHAT a fuckn show. Return of conquering heroes. And Leeds around 'Earthquake Glue', great show but there was a curfew! 45 minutes they did. For shame.
@@duncefunce1513 the earthquake glue show was about 90mins I think, might have been a bit more, The Barfly had a habit of ignoring curfews, I remember watching Ganger start a ten minute epic around 1am while I was just wanting to go home as I was working the next morning and still had an hour drive home 🤣
this is the best thing on youtube. GBV!!!!!!!!!!!
yes
fantastic show of a legendary band at the peak of their powers
some would argue they are still at their peak 25 years after this recording.
@@bookboy7007 i absolutely agree
One Word:
5 Encores
I have many favorite bands deserted island, GBV and another band called Luna will get me through if I have a little help from my friend, called weed...
Yeah, the VHS went dead during Johnny Appleseed, too. Thanks for uploading!
Matt Sweeney on bass. So cool.
I was there. It was fantastic!
Man Marlboros were 2 packs for $5 back then
i remember when they were 45 cents!
back when life was cheap
Que pedazo de concierto, gracias!!!
Bob is in superb brilliant voice through out these performances! Outstanding playing by the whole band! I have to watch this live concert over and over as to not miss anything, its my favorite of all the live videos of GBV!
Wow just wow!
I've owned this for centuries on VHS - it's great - Bob's annoyance with the soundman (following on the night before as well) tends to slur the proceedings a bit, but the show's rock solid! Thanks!
Thanks for the upload!
Whoah, where did THIS show come from?!??!?
Thanks to whomever.
GBV!
Thank you, mumblepop. Have wanted to watch this for years. Surprisingly good audio!
Wasn't sure if I'd seen this before, but then.....jesus fuck would someone give Bob the setlist back?
Definition of Rock
Dude! Awesome! Miss watching this! Had it on VHS but it was destroyed. Probably from watching it 10,000 times.
Bob going hard on postal blowfish the uncles feeling it
Not sure how I found this on VHS, but it's in my collection, with sticker intact. I own hundreds of their 12"s and 7"s but only one official VHS. It fucking rules. Long live dead formats.
