  • A John and Rachel set taped by the venue.
    Eternal thanks to Gregor for the (physical) tape!
    The audio drops out for a while during the 2nd song but is otherwise good.
    That's the best water I ever tasted.

    this makes me think of the one show where he says "i was born young and i will die young a hundred years from now". he has like...the same exact presence and energy today. all of his peers have aged and he has not.

    This version of Alpha Double Negative is so chill inducing. What an underrated track, and I think it has some of my favorite harmonies with Rachel

    HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! Pure gold! treasure! Soooo happy right now!!!!Hail Gregor indeed! JD looks like a baby here even though I think he was like 28 in '95. Insane. Looks like he's like 21

    I don't understand how "No, I Can't" never became a crowd favorite / encore staple.

      @MrOwennorris Před 6 lety +12

      I think it was for a little while (on the wiki it's shown to have been played quite a few times) but John probably burnt out on it a little while after Rachel left.

      Thomas Michael Duncan am I crazy or does the strumming pattern and some of the chords sound like Younger a little bit

      @@matthillfromcollege4109 it's the same riff, I believe he talked about it in the I only listen to the Mountain Goats podcast.

    Was always wondering if there were more videos from the '95 European adventure ever since I saw the Fast Forward II video! The fact that JD and Rachel took it all the way to the Netherlands at that stage of the Mountain Goats game always impressed me.

      @notrockyhorror Před 2 lety

      ​@@mitchelldoornenbal6560 I think he's still in his final year of college here (91-95), and had done some shows on the East Coast in late 94, but this would be in the first ever batch of European dates!

    He started the recognition scene in such a soft voice it caught me off guard so much I nearly started crying
    Edit: This version of No, I can't is intense and brilliant - for me it's the contrast of how forcefully he lists what he was brought and the quiet 'so thank you'.

      ​@@notasfarwest She definitely was a music teacher, under the name Rachel Ware Zooi, around the time this Reddit post went up - www.reddit.com/r/themountaingoats/comments/169wwx/bright_mountain_choir/ - the site it links to is down now and I think she's now a school counsellor.
