"We're called American Football" *No reaction whatsoever*
untrue. everyone shutup as soon as they heard those beautiful opening chords
its better that it was silent. It shows the anticipation of the crowd.
if i could time travel…..stop one.
Not a lot of people knew who they were, this was their debut stuff man, were looking at legends in the making
13 days after my 1st birthday but I still made it. You can see me in the back left, in wearing the sunny day real estate shirt and smoking a joint.
Are you lying?
fuck you and your birthday piece of shit
ye
hát szevasz balázs
Fuck yeah dude you were awesome, you’ve always added so much to this vid
making great music isn't easy. making music from scratch that the world has yet to experience is the ultimate goal of a musician. american football created a generation of music that has helped form some of the best sounds around. much respect and love-
I feel like I'm reliving memories I've never had. God, this video is so affecting. There was once a time like this.
basement shows are still a thing you fucking donut
William Alarie thank you for calling me a chad uwu :3
@@cdromschannel anytime man!
btw this comment is completely fucking underrated
Wow. You’re probably young.
I'm having a hard time not picturing the guy filming this in the middle of the crowd with the shoulder mounted VHS recorder, dragging along an orange extension cord.
Hey, to be fair, I still do that! ;)
Oohhh the nostalgia! The fucking nostalgia (*shaking head*) ... 😂 this comment LITERALLY made me "LOL" (which is something that rarely happens)
Reading things like that makes me so happy but sad
bruh, we had VX1000 with death lens
We had batteries. But yeah,lol
the 2 nodding to each other in approval at 4:00
I imagine them saying, "dude...this is actually really good!"
Dude I can’t imagine hearing this for the first time and in person too. Imagine how eye opening American football would have been back then
the music sounds so wobbly in this recording so it sounds like even the music is about to cry
ugh stop the attack
Yeah that’s because it was recorded on tape and the recording is old. It’s just typical wow and flutter from aging. It does have a dreamy quality to it though.
I was at this show, thanks for posting. I'm pretty sure Rainer Maria and Braid also played that night...
me too 👍
It's crazy how YOUNG they are... really puts the lyrics into a great context, and yet seeing them live today they still manage to make it real even though their lives are probably totally different now. Such great stuff, thanks for uploading this video.
Well said man
Holy shit, old tape does great things to sparkly clean guitar tones. Also
Thats why lofi is so popular rn
especially moldy tape!
i think this video wins most annoying comments ever.
at 0:25 somebody asks "Is there not a bass?" lmao
Exactly 3 months before I was born to the day and now they're one of my favorite bands of all time
Why do people keep posting this shit? Do you think anybody genuinely needs to know this information?
@@kingcobrajfsofficial I needed it, chupa cu de goianinha
11:26 "hey shut the fuck up!"
this is history dude
the 7s is such a breathtakingly beautiful song
I wish I could go back in time and give Mike a reverb pedal for that ebow part
and some singing lessons
@@gumshake689 no
i was 17. a couple years later i mail ordered the american football album along with rainer maria's first 2 CDs and braid's frame and canvas from the label. i never would have guessed american football would gain a cult following from a whole new generation while those other equally amazing bands were forgotten.
pancakerepairman American Football definitely had a major comeback and more of a legendary status because of how short lived they originally we're, but Braid and Rainer Maria both released new albums fairly recently and when they play shows they still sell a good amount of tickets. They're just not as active as American Football these days.
I have 2 years old and i love American Softball.
I wasn't even born when this happened
>lewronggeneration
oh most certainly
Such a pretty band for their time and place, they weren't interested in blowing your cochlea follicles out of commission like most emo bands. no american football provided sentimental ear candy for the melancholy soul.
This aged like wine.

7:11 Letters and Packages
11:33 Five Silent Miles

17:40 I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional
22:42 Jessie's Girl (Rick Springfield cover) + random guitar part
loool this is the best tracklist
pre timestamp tracklist that's cool
@@r_dreamer5462 I was ahead of the game
@@segundamordida goddamn 4 months old reply on an 8 year old commet a lot has changed since then
just visiting these comments again :D
Nice! The One With The Tambourine with different lyrics. The dueling guitars on this still get me.
I hate that the lyrics are different haha. The instrumentals are sooo good though.
22:27 "Im gonna throw a stick accidentally" - Lamos
We need remaster of this tape
Haha Kinsella kills me.. "Hey everyone shut the fuck up!"
These kids don't even how lucky they were for being there.
I was there. right of stage. I'm old
Yeah we do.
It's really interesting to imagine being there at this show... this kind of sound (the twinkly guitars, the math rock and emo mix, the post-rock atmosphere) was completely new. No bands had ever really produced this exact type of sound before, it must have been so strange and almost jarring to hear it at first.
I mean sure, there was Slint in Kentucky that developed some of the jagged math rock/post-rock influences AF uses, but even Spiderland just doesn't come close to this vibe (and that's one of my favourite albums). Maybe I'm overanalyzing it but to me that just seems so cool - being the first people in the world to hear what would become a pioneering sound.
I was there. I also saw braid, promise ring, and jets to Brazil. atdi was crazy. alkaline trio first shows were special too
This is so rare, thanks for the upload!
Hot damn, the murky audio just makes it better.
I was 1 and a half when this happened. I'm now 18 and have learned to love these guys
Nobody cares.
@@kingcobrajfsofficial I care
This was 2 days before I was born. I've seen them twice now and don't think I've ever loved a band as much
Nice footage.
Drummer is so good in on this album. he has a tom on his left like i do :) yea
Thank you for the upload!
8:46 It's like Mike is looking directly into my soul
This is so legendary to me.
I feel in a place where no one can relate to me, I cant really talk to anyone, I dont feel happy or sad, im just watching a video that no one else has watched about a band no one really cares about. Idk I cant explain it, please don't like or reply cos it will add to what I'm feeling
take it easy homie sorry for replying
For the longest time this was the only live footage of the band I could find from back then...
I would of been the happiest three year old there.
Same!
this would have been so nice at 3 yeah wow
Lol i was 4
Me too except I wasn't quite 3 yet
The 7s!!! Didn't think a video of it existed
They seriously should have stayed together through the 15 years they were inactive. The Ep and the first American Football album were both beautiful. The album from last year was nothing compared to their old times. They could have made plenty more of this amazing impacting music.
Skatergamer yeah but then we probably wouldn’t gotten Owen or their/there/they’re
The band was a time and place thing for a few buddies in college, which new kids have now glombed onto and romanticized into something more than it actually was. Their recordings are great and their new output is good for what it is. Don't be a revisionist historian.
oh this is such a vibe with the peavey amps and everything
so much wow and flutter. very fitting.
Figured i'd check the date of this video cause everyone is saying how old they were when this was taken.
i was probably within the vicinity of 16-20 hours old
"...remember Esme
at age 13
already blase
yea
broken hearted"
I fuckin' love Salinger, those lyrics have always been so special to me.
thank you for uploading this!
Did you record this? If you did how come? Surprised someone recorded a full show of a (at the time) unknown band :D
I know it’s five years too late and I can’t even answer this question, but I feel bad because of the smiley face at the end so I just want you to know that I feel your pain cause I’m also very curious.
man if I'd have known about these guys when I was 2 and was in the USA...
Thank you!!!!
This just made my day.
my god. thank you for this. i wish so badly that i couldve been there.
Houston Pierce Chances are you would've never have known about American Football back in the late 90's. Trust me, you're better off now, because there's actually a tonne of bands around that play similar sorts of music.
This is true. Mike's bigger right now with Owen now then he's ever been after playing with this new wave of bands that he influenced.
This took place on the day I was born!
I was 11 and in a band for 2 years when this happened. Wish I could have gone.
beautiful
deeply appreciate the upload, thank you
I was two years old when this happened. damn.
Wow never I heard them live.... Thanks for the post.
to all the people who are saying how young you were when this was: i thought you were saying you saw this show, as well as being that age. i was like woah some four and three year old with some cool freakin parents takin em to see americ anfootball life thats super cool.
So lovely
perfection.
i was nine months old. This is sick
i enjoy this performance over the EP
AHHHHHH 5 silent miles
i love this concert
Found this video years ago and wow this is still pretty amazing
i was 6 by that time..feeling old being 23 now
+sunset1151 I wasn't even alive, lol.
+Misha T. if you feel old at 23 that sucks. you have a long way to go
How about now
best band of 2013
"Can we all go smoke pot" -Lamos
I was approximately negative 12 years old
You're 6?
Precisely
BigElephant Oh cool. I am 2 :)
I wish I knew about this band when I was 13
I'm 13, but it sucks that these guys don't play anymore.
Mattman0106 THERE REUNITED#!!
Michael Diaz I know man!!! Its awesome and I can't wait!!!
Mattman0106 Lucky you :')
I'm pretty sure this is my video that I took. I was felt like reliving some old experiences, and was looking at old fireside videos (I took a lot of them!) and I can prove this was mine. I have the original 8mm video. I should get royalties or something, right?
i doubt any feasible sum of money has been made from this being posted
I'll see what I have still. But you're welcome to anything I have.
Trevor Kelly I am also interested in the videos you have! I will also pay to have get a copy.
Dude, do not sell or give the tape to anyone, this is like rare treasure.
+T-man keep it.
i need the little doodle that dude plays JUST before "The 7s" begins, to be included in its own song.
Even with all these new live performances, I keep coming back to this.
22:44 = The 7s
This was on my 3rd birthday.
I would've been just over a month old.
Can you tell me what age you'll be when anybody cares?
this was like 6 months before i was born
Wow i was 9 days old
i was 4 , now i'm almost 23 i feeel so fucking old
ambient I'm 31
it's all downhill from there.
I'm glad Kinsella got it together.
I was celebrating my 11th birthday on this night.
I was negative 7 when this happened.
I will watch nfl online on ScreenVariety . I think it's the best NFL option
The one with the tambourine...:)
guapo. hace veinnte años ya sonaban bien, despues sonaron mejor. Un aplauso y muchas gracias por colgar esto. Muy guapo.
I was 4 months old.
Pre never meant??
im not sure if you're the person behind the camera
but if you are, do you happen to have the footage of The Sky Corvair playing live there that same night??
とてもいい
nice
Around 33:32 you can hear Steve Holmes say "Can we all go smoke pot?"
hello 2016
the audience had no idea that this band will be a great band year later, even though a year later they disbanded.
98 midwest still struggle w/ emotion
jessie's giiirrlll
Why do they spend half the set tuning guitars? 😝
Their songs have different tunings
this is music
