saw them twice. never forget it. right before the 1st tune, Brian says "well, we're here, nothin' left to do but a rock 'n' roll show", to wild applause. and rock they did! best kept secret in Missouri. wildly underrated.
@@gviruscalls7089 I have a theory that on the studio version, they left in(on purpose) an out of tune guitar solo.I love this tune ! but Brian is out of tune as he tears into the solo. I blast it out every once in a while still! I met Brian at TT the BEARS about 12 years ago (small venues are the place to talk to performers)and told him what a talented songwriter he is. he just about blushed. rock on!
@@gviruscalls7089 damn straight it was. love the way they mimic 'CRAZY HORSE' on 'thousand dollar car'.anyone who's ever had a shitbox(had my share) loves that song. they like paying tribute to other bands.
@@jamesg8246 maybe in a couple years, Brian Henneman will feel like going out and playing some shows again with the boys. Not a re-start, and not a silly classic rock band’s reunion tour to cash in, but for the love of it. It’s possible in 2-3 years, being able to play out with those guys again will seem urgent. I was lucky to see them a good number of times between 1998 through 2018. As great as the two better known bands that sprung from Uncle Tupelo were/are, I’d choose their guitar tech’s band over both if I could only pick one. I was set to them again in late March 2020 and of course like everyone did, they had to cancel. You always think you’ll get another chance. We’ll see. I’m digging into their last couple albums and finding a lot to enjoy. They were as real a band as there come and put most to shame with their songwriting and chops and down to earth good humor.
@@lhmmhl I know Jeff Tweedy did a Crossroads concert as a guitar tech, then got invited onstage by Eric Clapton. If that's who you're thinking about, Wilco would be the band. He's an Uncle Tupelo alum.
Have you ever seen the second part? If not search “ Max Weinberg is jealous of the Bottle Rockets”. It’s a comedy bit they did on the next episode. It’s hilarious!
a fellow tradesman called me from there about a month ago, and I referred to it ONLY as Missoura. we're both from Massachusetts, but I wasn't gonna let that opportunity pass by. you're correct, sir! also, I've seen BONNIE & CLYDE about a thousand times. when Buck says, "we're gonna have ourselves a time!!!......what are we gonna do?" Clyde says "I figure, we go up to Missoura, have ourselves a regular vacation" I always think ''vacation from what?'' gotta love it.
Thank you so much for posting this! I watched it when it first aired and have been looking for it ever since. These guys killed it! Best band in the USA!
Saw Brian by himself opening for Jay Farrar who was supporting his first solo album. It was just him and and electric guitar player. Minimalist heaven! At the end Jay called up David Rawlings and Gillian Welch (this was in Nashville). What a show!.
he looks like Gary Rossington ! Great band ! GE Smith tried to get them on SNL in the 90s but the idiots decided they didn't like the way the band looked! Conan gets it tho
I saw them at Sticky Fingers in Little Rock, 2006ish. The best bar bands ever. The drummer sold me their new CD, Zoysia after the show. We were dancing and having a blast! Good times.
saw them around 12-months before this appearance sometime in 1994 (?) at a hole-in-the wall club off Washington Ave in St. Louis -- I knew of them but that was my first live show and it was just fantastic - ugliest band in rock-n-roll lives!!
Brian and Mark perform a few times a month around St. Louis in a country cover band. And I had an opportunity to go see them a few months ago, I was very happy to see Tom was in attendance watching them play. I didn’t bother him, but he appeared to be doing great.
@@Wilco1972 Brian, Mark and Tom are all amazing people. Even so, that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s peace in the house, but I’m glad to hear that Tom was at the show and looking well. It’s probably been 20 years since I last visited him in St. Louis. He wouldn’t recognize the surname Engel, but if you happen to see Tom out and about there, please say “hello” to him from Donna Grigg and give him my best. My favorite Bottle Rocket’s tunes are Welfare Music and 1000 Dollar Car, so I think I’ll pull out a CD and have a morning listen. I’m old so I still actually do that sort of thing;) Happy Monday!
Brian recorded with Tupelo on Still Feel Gone and March 16-20, 1992 and did a lot of lead guitar on Wilco's first record and Jay and Jeff recorded a lot with Brian in the early days. A lot of love between the two bands.
I can't tell you exactly what he's playing, but i know on a few occasions Brian would just send a bunch of random parts to a luthier friend of his and have him put together a frankenstein guitar. I believe a couple he referred to as his trashcasters.
If you watch when Uncle Tupelo were on Conan, Jay is wearing the Harley Davidson styled Bottle Rockets shirt. Nice that they represented each other when they could.
STFU "harmonically pitiful" it's the fucking bottle rockets , and yeah they strum "incessantly " jesus christ it's called rock and roll omg go back to Berkeley

Tony if you got any questions about bottle rockets I’m related to the drummer so I could probably ask him any questions
@@Derekfan thanx, Derek fan 1096.
Just another great American band nobody ever heard of that is way to cool to get on the radio.
Played on WAAF in Boston which was a large market radio area in early 96 quite a bit
100%
ONE OF the GREATEST LIVE ACTS I have EVER seen!
One of my favorite songs from the 90's. The story, the music, the enthusiasm. Kicks Ass!
Same here!
My band done this at a first responders games one time and had all the police and troopers turn on lights for this one fun tune to play
From spain love for the bottle rockets.
One of my favorite bands. I sure hope Brian Hennerman reconsiders his retirement.
So sad I never even got to see them live.

I'm going to see him play a solo show tonight.
I have watched this 1000 times and it keeps getting better and better

People who aren't from Missoura love having a chance to say "Missoura."

Shout out to old buck buerger the sheriff out here in Jefferson county back in the day
The griping about actual Jeffco MO local politics of 30 years ago is this song’s secret sauce
This should have been the intro song to the 20/20 special on Buck Berger.
Motorhead-England. AC/DC-Australia. Bottle Rockets- US OF FUCKIN' A!!!
Gravity Fails is the best time on that album.
My fav album is 24 Hours A Day
So very very sad...I only recently discovered this song. Great tune guys-cheers!
They still tour under normal conditions so go out and check them out when you can.
Saw Brian by himself opening for Jay Farrar who was supporting his first solo album. It was just him and and electric guitar player. Minimalist heaven! At the end Jay called up David Rawlings and Gillian Welch (this was in Nashville). What a show!.
catchy tune. flawless performance.
he looks like Gary Rossington ! Great band ! GE Smith tried to get them on SNL in the 90s but the idiots decided they didn't like the way the band looked! Conan gets it tho
way more people should see this
Saw them one night at Brownie’s in NYC, late 1990’s. Warren Haynes dropped in for the second set. Too much fun.
The bottle rockets we're one of the baddest and greatest bands ever.
I saw them at Sticky Fingers in Little Rock, 2006ish. The best bar bands ever. The drummer sold me their new CD, Zoysia after the show. We were dancing and having a blast! Good times.
Used to play this tune in my first band. Love it!
My dad's favorite song.
Not reinventing the wheel, but Damn. This Shit Rocks.

I’ve always loved this song!
These guy freaking rock. Love it✌🤘
*guys
Thanks!!!! I waited forever for this to hit youtube.
MissouRAH
The guitars are on fire,but that bass line is as solid as a foundation.
Sodapop Curtis lol
Sodapop Curtis seen some pretty shitty foundations lol
The funnest song in Rock n Roll!
Mark Ortmann on Drums now plays with Marshall Crenshaw full time
Last time I saw them ...at a small Seattle club... they opened for Marshall and then backed him for his set. Cool that they kept up that connection.
The original band. Where did the last 30 years go anyway?
Boss.
Miss you, Tom Parr, and hope you”re doing great!

@@Wilco1972 Ah, great to hear! I haven’t seen Tom for ages but I always think of him and remember him fondly.
@@donnaengel6413 I was happy to see them all together considering what I understand the circumstances of their breakup were.

It actually sounds like the record.
But clearly isn't singing misses a little bit. But yeah, great live band it seems to be.
The second guitarist is wearing a Son Volt shirt!
When Uncle Tupelo appeared on Conan's show the year before, Jay Farrar had worn a Bottle Rockets t-shirt.
Not surprising. Brian was a roadie / live guitar for Uncle Tupelo, so there is some connection between the bands.
Brian recorded with Tupelo on Still Feel Gone and March 16-20, 1992 and did a lot of lead guitar on Wilco's first record and Jay and Jeff recorded a lot with Brian in the early days. A lot of love between the two bands.
love it!!
Check out that new Music store. Across from where the Clipper was. I think I will buy a guitar there….haha..
Playing with that bass high up his chest dont look rocknroll enough! But this band is fuken great anyhow!
So does the bassist for The North Mississippi Allstars.
Whatever works,,,
That big ass Green V is rock and roll enough!
The one guy is afflicted with high bass...
Enjoy your retirement, Brian!
The brookly side is the best of the botle rockets like ever??
I wonder if Brian knew he was wearing ladies glasses?
I’m makin’ $, and I’m havin’ fun.
The 90s were mooore than "those" bands I´m tired of listening to!
Does anyone out there know what guitar Brian is using here???
I can't tell you exactly what he's playing, but i know on a few occasions Brian would just send a bunch of random parts to a luthier friend of his and have him put together a frankenstein guitar. I believe a couple he referred to as his trashcasters.
Tom Ray
I was Lonesome Dave’s guitar tech in the mid 1970’s and….ah..er…no I wasn’t…..just bull shitting…lol
Guitarist is wearing a Son Volt shirt.
If you watch when Uncle Tupelo were on Conan, Jay is wearing the Harley Davidson styled Bottle Rockets shirt. Nice that they represented each other when they could.
toooo fast but I understand
oops bottle roc
kets - no disrespect
That drummer looks way to laid back.
As harmonically pitiful as this sort of music is, there's definitely something very satisfying about this sort of incessant strumming....
STFU "harmonically pitiful" it's the fucking bottle rockets , and yeah they strum "incessantly " jesus christ it's called rock and roll omg go back to Berkeley
This sucks.
fuck you,watch justin beeber then
GCF so does your mamma
Guess what asshole, YOU suck
Then why are you here?
Are you some police state supporter butthurt by the lyrics?
It sucks that you put your opinion on it.
Train's comin down the fuckin track hard and fast man...tight as hell. Great unit - killer tune.
