Fun fact. Their practice spot was next door to the soccer field my school practiced on. 4th-6th grade I was allowed to come in and watch SDRE practice with a friend of mine who was a Goldsmith! Small world.
Where was this? I have a memory of ~6th or 7th grade soccer (just before I got into punk, but had started playing drums) - and going to my coach's house in the U-district for a team party,. I remember a band was wrapping up rehearsal in his basement and I was so blown away by the drummer. I've always had this nagging memory/association that it was SDRE (that era, likely Empty Set/Chewbacca Kaboom) before I had any idea of who they were. A few years later (as I got into punk) William was a huge influence in my drumming.
Agreed. With Goldsmith a totally kicking rhythm section........one of the best I've heard in rock....Nate has a "little" Jack Bruce in him. He doesn't just stay in one place and thump away like 95% of rock bassists do.
This album didn't leave my car's CD player for months on end many times in my life. This and Hum's "You'd prefer an astronaut" were the be-all-end-all of that era in my circle.
Yeah they were! I got to see SDRE live for the first time in a tiny metal bar in Chicago when the band was recording Diary with Brad Wood in Wicker Park.
@@evankuptz actually he was the drummer for Foo Fighters on tour when the first Foo Fighters album was released but when recording the second album (The Colour and The Shape) either the label or producer Gil Norton or even Dave himself decided to re-record most of the drum tracks on the album and when William found out he got pissed and left and then Taylor Hawkins came in to be the drummer for the Foos
William Goldsmith is such an incredible drummer. He plays so finess and so heavy all the same time with amazing chops. As a matter of fact the entire band is so incredibly good. The bass carries them while the guitars and vocals makes the band soar. This is true art in its purist form. Kids take notes.
Ive just now found these guys, and the frontmans emotion is just so potient and powerful. Every time he screams he looks like hes holding back from crying. Also the drums are so crisp. The interweaving gutiar melodys and the pulp bass. God I'm gonna love this band
Definitely. That’s cool- as I’ve been a huge foo fighters fan for 12+ years, which Nate the bassist, went to play with, tho not as out front usually unfortunately. And their drummer here was the original drummer for Foo fighters. But anyway; they were greatly synced up in this band for sure. Point being I only got into this band about 18 months ago too !
It's wild how his voice changed. In this video his voice breaks up perfectly when he belts it out. In performances of these songs in later videos his voice doesn't really break up, because he's able to sing so much higher. It all sounds great.
what’s interesting is his voice actually didn’t change when they reformed, it changed right before Diary. they had just come off a long tour before the album came out, and Jeremy blew out his voice, resulting in the more broken, thin, sort of whiny sound you hear on Diary, LP2, and even somewhat on Return of the Frog Queen. in an interview, he said he was able to work on his voice and it healed over time, causing it to return to the more full sound on How It Feels and The Rising Tide. he said that this is how his voice actually sounded when he was 17-18 and first joined the band
@@damesoumbi His straining makes much more sense then because he's probably having a tougher time either hitting higher notes or its just putting a lot of strain onto his throat.
@@PrototheDodo interestingly enough his voice was both lower and higher when they reunited. he seemed to move some of the higher pitched nasally parts down into his chest voice, yet was able to hit the high notes with so much more clarity.
The voice breaks really do work well for the first two SDRE albums. I see them kind of in a similar light to Dolores in songs like 'So Cold In Ireland' where she uses the voice breaking in a stylistic way and not due to a lack of vocal training. There's no doubt that Jeremy developed a much better mixed voice after the second album and the third and fourth album wouldn't necessarily fit the old style of vocal breaks.
@Dokkasan Pfff...um, yeah....that's what it is. Fucking dipshit goober. Quick...name me a single actual progressive that doesn't ridicule MTV in disdain. None? None. But you can typing words, right fuckwipe?
@Dokkasan Please tell me more about how MTV in the 90s wasn't super progressive as far as voting, LGBT issues, race issues, and just about every other political issue you can think of from that era. Just because you grew up to turn out some conservative dickbag doesn't change the past.
I think on what makes 90's rock music so intense and with so much nostalgia. Started listening to all in early 2010's and I feel I can taste everything you tasted in those years.
@@grantbeck8482 I think you guys are overrating them a bit. These are great songs but overall the whole album has a lot of songs that sound the same and get stale after a while
Saw the video for Seven back in Middle School, maybe 95.' Diary was the second CD I ever bought with my own money. This band was the beacon, probably influenced my musical future more than any other.
Goldsmith is in God-mode on Seven! He's crushing the kit with precision. The 90s were arguably the best decade, regarding musicianship and crowd interaction.
This is nineties surf emo at its finest. I was sponsored by a boardshop for my all mountain riding before snowboarding was big, and the only emo band I had been introduced to was jawbreaker, then the guys who ran the boardshop got me into sunny day, mineral, knapsack and a whole lot of other bands. Long live classic emo. Amazing live vid from the golden era of post emo indie rock.
Damn, I’ve always loved this album but I did not expect them to sound so great live. Their sound is huge, super tight, amazing guitar tone, drummer smashes that kit, and bass fills are amazing. This slaps incredibly hard.
@@Drummer_Jeff83 Tbf I don't think Dave ever said that Will wasn't a good drummer. He just wasn't good enough for what Dave wanted at the time. Of course we'll never hear those drum tracks that Dave thought weren't good enough.
This album was a masterpiece, and for those of us coming of age during this time, holds a special place in our hearts. Not easy stuff to perform live, though I can't believe it's 30 years later and I'm finally seeing what they look like.
@@thewedge8823 Have to admit SDRE is pretty on the ball in this recording. Not every bands' live shows translate well from their studio recordings. I've heard a few Nirvana live recordings where I assumed they brought in the stunt doubles for a few songs...
remember vividly to the day seeing this on 120 mins back when mtv had balls and was actually relevant. so blessed to have seen sdre 2-3 times and then jeremy 2-3 times. such a great and and a great songwriter.
Sunny Day real estate and Catherine wheel, both of them huge influences on the music I would find and mirror to the deep soul. Hum would follow about 2years later after that!
2020 here and wearing the 👑 listening to SDRE and HUM and... Granddaddy and Solar Powered People and Fiber and and... Thanks for posting. The sound is good on this.
I saw them during this time period. It was in a tiny Rec room at Fordham University in NY. Incredible show. My band at the time had played the same room the week before. I saw the girl that booked the gigs there and said “Why didn’t you book us to open for them?!!” Ahh 90’s memories. Quarantined 2020 stay safe!
Saw them in early 99 in San Francisco. They were incredible, one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. They were completely into it and the crowd was as well. They opened with In Circles, it was chill inducing.
I'm just realizing that early Foo Fighters were half Sunny Day Real Estate, half Nirvana. Amazing! William Goldsmith is such a good drummer! Nate also incredible on bass, always has been!
These guys are The Godfather’s Of indie rock. Way more so than DCFC could ever hope to be. Sunny Day Real Estate, Samiam, Knapsack, Boilermaker and Jimmy Eat World. All delicious goodness in the mid/late 90’s.
Would love to hear those takes as well. Must've been a stylistic thing, I guess. In Taylor, Dave then found a drummer that plays almost exactly like him and also completely idolizes him.
@@Christopher-md7tf While I respect your opinion, I don't think Taylor plays anything like Dave. Taylor is far more technical than Dave. And that's not knocking Dave at all, he's my favorite drummer of all time. But I feel like Dave goes more for groove, power, natural feel, that sorta thing. Taylor is just all over the place and very technical.
Nate Mendel also played bass in a Seattle straightedge hardcore band called "Brotherhood". After that he met Dan Horner where they formed the roots of SDRE with a multiple of different names to call the band. Shortly thereafter, William Goldsmith was invited to jam, being four other bands at the time. Nate left to tour with another band while Horner and Goldsmith jammed. Goldsmith brought Enigk in the following weeks, which then he became the frontman.
@@astroknott5263 Dave Grohl's songs, Dave Grohl's money paying the freight, Dave Grohl's decision to make. Everybody wants to act like Goldsmith was bullied out of the band. Grohl is a very discerning drummer and knew exactly how he wanted the drums to feel. They didn't, so he re-tracked them. It's a massive subtlety, but drummers get it. Just the slightest ahead/behind the beat nuance can make or break a song/album. Dave made the tough decision, and William didn't like how it was handled, so he left. They're all big boys. And to date, Grohl's success kinda speaks for the decisions he's made, yeah?
Not very surprising..Dan is quoted as saying he would have been happy in a U2 tribute band and Jeremy is quoted as claiming U2 were his favorite group..
Listened to this band first time tonight. Really like the sound and feeling of it. Will continue listening. I know now where some bands I listen to get their sound from.
dude these guys are epic.......absolutely amazing. This and the Afghan Whigs are some of the most unsung soul crushing tunes this side of the universe.......... so much love!!!
Wow, so cool to see. Them playing Seven sounded very good, almost like the original recording. I loved these guys back in the day and I was mostly into rock and metal back then. Just a really good band with awesome guitar hooks and great songs.
Jeremy's Thrasher sweater *_WAYYYY_* before it was cool :D ..but i mean SDRE's the absolute coolest band that ever stepped forth onto the rock scene, so no shocker there
The first take of Circles is just ferocious. Case in point, the bridge section starting at 4:52 Dave Groh or Animal of the Muppets have nothing on Will here.
@@gregmax1321 Jeremy is an incredible singer, he just seemed a little flat here. this just wasn’t his best performance unfortunately. it’s not too offensive since the emo sound is supposed to be a little whiny anyway
* Dave Grohl looks at Jeremy Enigk from behind the scenes * Dave Grohl: "He's losing his mind." * eyes widen * Dave Grohl: "And I'm reaping all the benefits." * smiles and disappears behind the curtain *
singlehandedly invented the emo genre. when i say that people think Pierce the Veil or MCR... but it's true. MCR's first album takes a lot from this and Taking Back Sunday's first 2 albums are just Sunny Day worship with pop punk (And i love it). Emo isn't a genre thats just melodramatic teenager angst music, emo is exactly what is stands for: emotional. Post hardcore wouldn't be the same without these guys.
I’ve always thought Bullets sounded more like Cap’n Jazz’s first effort, Shmap’n Shmazz but looking back I see parallels between Diary aswell. Edit: I also hear a bit of Four Minute Mile by The Get Up Kids in there aswell
So tired of reading how "unsung" and "underrated" Nate Mendel is. Either people don't know what these words mean or they are ignorant of the fact that he plays bass in one of the biggest rock bands. What is this disease of so many comment sections to claim that someone is "underrated" when clearly this is not the case?
Fun fact. Their practice spot was next door to the soccer field my school practiced on. 4th-6th grade I was allowed to come in and watch SDRE practice with a friend of mine who was a Goldsmith! Small world.
That’s sick as fuck

VerDarluz CelestiOwl Nate has been an incredible bassist even before his time in Brotherhood!
Pretty convinced he knew how to play bass right out of the womb
I'd hardly call him an unsung hero, considering he's in one of the biggest rock bands of all time.

Shame he went to such a soulless band

Ho-lee-fek. Where on earth did this gem turn up from? I'm downloading this off CZcams in case it ever disappears from here! Outstanding.
thank you to you tube but some of us saw this live (or near live) in the vintage of the era
Jeff Walker literally no one (or near no one) cares bro
@@dead_yami i cared. he needed a care probably
xxHouseInMotionxx you right.
@@jeffwalker5609 weird flex but ok
Just like Unwound, one of the most important bands of their generation. It's great young people are just now discovering their music all over again.
Thanks for the upload man! I remember watching this back in the day. The unreleased song is fucking awesome!
Seven is at least 10 years ahead of its time
Or at least 6 or 7 😬😳😓
Great perfomance & quality. Thanks! Goldsmith & Mendel - too good for that other band they're (were) in. But those baggy shorts, maaan?! :-D
Foo Fighters are great too, but I feel Nate doesn't contribute as much as he did here.
He is underappreciated there too, by the fans.
i feel sad... now i go to this page everyday for comfort
Oh my God I didn't know they played the last song on the pink album and killed it!!! Thank you Soo much for posting this.❤️
This is awesome. I love this band.
eff me....the 90's were amazing
Had the cassette, one of my all time fav's.
Wow, so cool to see. Them playing Seven sounded very good, almost like the original recording. I loved these guys back in the day and I was mostly into rock and metal back then. Just a really good band with awesome guitar hooks and great songs.
Egnik's voice I- i think im in love
Jeremy's Thrasher sweater *_WAYYYY_* before it was cool :D ..but i mean SDRE's the absolute coolest band that ever stepped forth onto the rock scene, so no shocker there
abyss thrasher was always cool ;)
He probably skates
Before it was cool, wth?.....
Thrasher actually will always be cool, the only problem is stupid people wearing it thinking it´s a clothing brand or because it´s hip now.
@Dokkasan Eww, no.
Diary is a fave of mine. Thanks for posting this
This takes me back.....to the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle, early 90s....the best place and best time to be alive
Bored at work. Sunny Day still rocks.
Fuckin rite they do! So many bands have been forgotten. These guys rock!
It's amazing how much different Jeremy looks these days compared to back then.
20 year difference will do that to anyone
@@davemac9563 Damn right it will, kids will too
One of my favorite bands ever
Such a great band .. lucky to have seen them twice in Seattle
The first take of Circles is just ferocious. Case in point, the bridge section starting at 4:52 Dave Groh or Animal of the Muppets have nothing on Will here.
yeah grohl is overrated too
But let’s talk about that first vocal at the beginning 😂😂😂
Hunter Withrow yeah, Jeremy is a great singer
@@gregmax1321 Jeremy is an incredible singer, he just seemed a little flat here. this just wasn’t his best performance unfortunately. it’s not too offensive since the emo sound is supposed to be a little whiny anyway
Any one remember the CCS skateboard catalogs? His Thrasher shirt reminded me of the stuff they had. So damn long ago.
Or thrasher mag from early 90’s?
@@uncooldispatch5438 that was a great mag. I used like Big Brother too.
Seeing them tonight in Grand Rapids with Apple Seed Cast! So excited!!!
one of the best live performances period
* Dave Grohl looks at Jeremy Enigk from behind the scenes *
Dave Grohl: "He's losing his mind."
* eyes widen *
Dave Grohl: "And I'm reaping all the benefits."
* smiles and disappears behind the curtain *
singlehandedly invented the emo genre. when i say that people think Pierce the Veil or MCR... but it's true. MCR's first album takes a lot from this and Taking Back Sunday's first 2 albums are just Sunny Day worship with pop punk (And i love it). Emo isn't a genre thats just melodramatic teenager angst music, emo is exactly what is stands for: emotional. Post hardcore wouldn't be the same without these guys.
I’ve always thought Bullets sounded more like Cap’n Jazz’s first effort, Shmap’n Shmazz but looking back I see parallels between Diary aswell.
Edit: I also hear a bit of Four Minute Mile by The Get Up Kids in there aswell
they are an amazing band but in no way did they invent the emo genre lol
@@143jcm Looking back, I’d say Red House Painters pioneered it.
I miss the 1990s so bad man. So many good memories when I watch bands like this, this is middle school and high school memories.
I had no idea they looked like this. It makes them much better.
So tired of reading how "unsung" and "underrated" Nate Mendel is. Either people don't know what these words mean or they are ignorant of the fact that he plays bass in one of the biggest rock bands. What is this disease of so many comment sections to claim that someone is "underrated" when clearly this is not the case?
Jeremy's voice live, sounds exactly like it does off a record.
This shit is so good. They were fucking heavy live, jeeze. Arrangements and musicianship just so top notch.
Seven is such a beautiful song
I got to see them the week ‘Diary’ was released. This is exactly what it was like... but with a sweaty pit of teenagers.
