This show was amazing. Thanks for posting. Every band that night crushed. Good ol Stillwell, Chicago goodness. Oxes are rowdy. God's Reflex were from deep burbs but brought a great sound and energy. And HWM, legendary, and at the Fireside was always the best. Loved when they teamed up with D4 and Small Brown Bike as well. The FIreside was glorius.
I remember hearing "Push for Coin" during the summer of 1996. I was a big time fan within the first minute. I never missed a show when they played. Such a great band.
you were lucky enough to see them during their second year of being a band. That's an amazing thing. I was 11/12 in 96 so I didn't discover them until my freshman year in 98/99, but I've been lucky to see over 30 concerts, have several conversations with Chuck and Chris, and sometimes George... Jason never really engaged with the fans much but was always nice. Chuck ALWAYS remembered my name and always used it, and always, ALWAYS took the time to at least say "What's up?" if they were in a hurry, but during the decade of the 2000s, I could go backstage before their set, during and stand off to the side of the stage, or after if they didn't have a bus to jump on to get to the next show. I live in GA, so Southeast First was written for fans like me and my group of HWM fiercely loyal fans that followed them to there shows during tours. My favorite memory is talking to Chuck and helping create their playlist before the opening band had even started, it was 2009, they were older, I was older, and I suggested they play Loft, and what happened next was the most honest and genuinely sincere moment I've ever seen from any artists during my entire life. He got this almost sad look in his eyes, but smiled and said, "Man, we know you guys love that song. We love it too, but we don't feel that way anymore, man. I'm not trying to be a prima donna or some shit like that, but we've talked about it and we feel like if we played that song now, that it would be the same as lying to you, and everyone else that's been down this crazy fucked up and awesome ride with us and that's something that we don't ever want to do. You guys helped us live our dream for 15 years and we agreed that we will never lie to our fans, so we can't do that, our hearts wouldn't be in it and it scares the shit out of us to think that all of you would see that, or feel like your being lied to." Then he looked at me, and this is Chuck, and when he looked at me, his eyes were watery. There were no tears, but there was some sort of emotion, or clash of several emotions going on in him, and he asked me in a way that seemed like he was hoping for validation and said, "Is that dumb, man? Or does it make sense?" My friend, Chuck fuckin Ragan asked me if what he said made sense...... WTF do I say back? All I could say was, "I'm sorry, man. Ya, it makes sense. It makes more sense than anything I've ever heard anybody else ever say in my life." I felt stupid for not thinking about what that song means before mentioning that they play it. He laughed, and said, "Dude, don't apologize, the song kicks ass and Jason gets to do his little bass solo, but you're not still feeling that way still are you?" I said, "No, but it's because of that song that I don't feel like that anymore. That song saved my life, it's the song I could go to and figure shit out when things got tough. It pulled me out of the pits I fell in, but damn...it helped me to stop falling in the same pit too." I swear to God I remember every single word that was said during the short, deeply, profound conversation. We were both near tears, and he just said, "Damn, man, you have no idea how much that means to hear. That's.....just....damn....Thanks, man...damn." Then I guess he needed to pull himself out of his emotions and said, "But we're still not fucking playing it!" We laughed, crushed another beer, and I got up to go back to my friends but turned back around and said, "Close the set with Western Grace. It's got the best instrumental breakdown I've ever heard!" He looked at me and just nodded. Before their last song, he started talking to the audience and said he had a awesome talk with a friend before the show and I'm just gonna say this. He made me remember why I dedicated my life to music and we know we're fortunate to be here, able to share our music with all of you and it's been 15 years" Everyone started cheering and going crazy. "If you guys are up for another 15 then we're not going anywhere!" He played the opening to Western Grace, everyone in the crowd lost their minds, and they did the breakdown for an extra 5 or 6 minutes, like they've done with Manual before, and Chuck's voice was wrecked but he kept belting out that last line....."It was a lesson... I didn't mind....LEARNING THE HARD WAY!!!!" over and over until his voice was gone and the fans kept it going. It was the best night of my life!!
I'll probably never forget seeing them at a handy street New Brunswick basement show (97?) the dude in the red shirt (I never remember names) had a long beard and as they were about to play, he said "I met this girl last night, she wanted me to rub my beard in her crotch" and that was probably the funniest thing I'd heard at that point in my life... I've heard 2 things funnier since, both having to do with crotches, but no beards. There demo tape from then was the most played tape in our cars. I still have a HWM patch (remember when bands did that?) Not many bands can keep cranking out great tunes this long (most don't even keep the same sound), these guys deserve their success, in fact they deserve more!
Jason Tsimplakos holy fucking shit! First of all thanks for the link, second... I honestly can’t believe this exists! I was actually subbed to the channel and think I watched it, but somehow missed that it was the show I was at. Do you have any idea where you can buy live shows from? Hardly anyone uploads J church shows, and I’d like to see their early years
@@scottbaylo haha your comment was so accurate I hate to make sure you didn't make it after seeing the video I linked to! Unfortunately, I have no idea where you could buy such videos, but archives such as these are priceless.
@@JasonTsimplakos Its funny too because I have the worst memory for most things, but then the most random 5-10 seconds of something will be stuck in my head for life... I'm really surprised it was 1995, for some reason I thought I was out of highschool when I heard HWM but apparently I was still a senior. I love old shows from the 90s, I'll get you a link to a really early Jets to Brazil show my friend taped....
unfortunately I found these guys later in their career, 2002. 1st show I went to, sometime within the next year, chuck threw the mic stand in the crowd during rooftops, and they became one of my favorite bands.
I just saw them a couple weeks ago and they were celebrating 28 years of steady beautiful post-hardcore punk rock without ever deviating from their own unique style of dual guitars and vocals, with Chuck's guitar playing fully distorted power chords and Chris playing harmonic octaves and every now and then, both guitars would play the same thing, and the different effects come together to belt out some of the most beautiful breakdowns that make you want to both annihilate and protect the other people in the mosh pit. That's the beauty of a HWM concert. The intensity and aggression are equal in passion and makes you want to knock another mosher to the floor when he locks on to you, but also pick him back up and give him a bro hug. The young dudes seem to just know that you DO NOT do that wild punching and stupid spinning kicks in a HWM mosh pit because a HWM pit is a place of sanctity, it's sacred ground, but it's not for everyone, yet anyone is welcome to join cause you will know instantly if you're one of the chosen ones..
The best rythm section in punk rock.
I say this all the fucking time, except I’d go as far to say period. Jazz rhythm section with punk rock guitarist/frotnmen.
By a MILE!
Hot Water/Fugazi = BOTH important!
Goddamn they were so good live back then. Fuel for the Hate Game is still one of the best records ever made.
Josh Jakubowski Agreed my friend

Thank you! Not sure why I didn't recognize it.
No freightliner? Trash
@@snaabras love that album
Love that this stuff is still online. HWM forever!
Loved the old fireside shows that Hot Water played. Amazing memories.
Makes me feel young again looking at the grubby stage of the Fireside Bowl!

If i could like this more than once, I would. Many Hearts.
That fucking drummer is really something else, very aggressive! Love this band beyond belief
i love this band so much,, also love alkaline trio for getting me into these guys :)
doesn't get any better than this. So lucky to see HWM at the Fireside many many times.
Brian Korey!!
@Kyle Burman hey buddy! Been a looooong time!
Gusto and groove ❤
Bass playing is just insane
Him, and Eben D’Amico from saves the day were my biggest influences in high school back then.
