Eric Bachmann moistened a few eyes with "Man o' War" last night. New record so so good.

They're playing live tonight here in Atlanta, but I just don't see live music anymore really. I know it will be fun.

I can't seem to find any video online of the band's "Harnessed" performance on Jimmy Fallon referenced above by Johnny Fever, 6/25/11

anyone out there a better internet detective than me?

Late night tv musical performances get scrubbed pretty fast just as a rule. Most things that happened four months ago are gone already.

Questlove said on twitter at one point that just about all musical performances are just uploaded for, like, a 2 week window, and then they disappear never to be seen again. Kinda sucks.

yeah, i knew better than to rely on the NBC site, but was hoping maybe it would be on YouTube.

one time i found Nirvana on SNL but the uploader had rotated the video like 45 degrees so as not to be caught by ... uh ... whatever technology they use to monitor stuff like that.

thought maybe we could work together to find Archers on Fallon under the name "How to poach the perfect egg" or something. :)

anyway, this is a rare band that was cool back in the day but, imo, sounds even better now. stoked to have 'em back.

New song is fucking amazing. Does this mean a new album is in the works?

I like Raleigh Days, a lot even, but I realized what's throwing me off is that Eric Johnson's guitar is tuned.

Cool, I downloaded them in case they ever disappear again.

"them" = Harnessed and Wrong both.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 24 February 2020 04:52 (four years ago) link

good find MatthewK! thanks. obviously i didn't search hard/well enough. :)

two months pass...

Didn't expect the next new thing we hear would be a Stones cover.

Isn't it absurdly costly to cover a Stones song, btw?

three months pass...

Not feeling this as much as I'd hoped tbh, don't feel like it gets interesting until the back half and even then it kinda makes me want to listen to the old stuff.
