Holy shit. How did I miss this version. I bought this album in 91 and still play the hell out of it. Powerpop masterpiece. This. This is Girlfriend on some really fuckin good speed. Dig it!!
It’s Pete Phillips, who passed away in 2015. Here’s another smoking version of this great song from the iconic record store Amoeba in SF- czcams.com/video/RB3YWZcCm6A/video.htmlsi=wCPTifjH4_HORk0k
This is about as fast and aggressive a version of Girlfriend I've seen Matthew play. Rocks!!
Stage Manager - "Hey guys, we've got 3 mins till ending credits!!"
Matthew Sweet - "You heard him guys!!"
😂😂😂
Best version ever. I've been looking for this for years thanks for putting it back up.
Until I heard this version, I didn't think this song could be improved upon. . .but humbuckers on the lead guitar really sent it into orbit. Awesome!
One of the 5 best Late Night live performances I've seen by anyone.

Yeah man, me too - play the hell out of this record. So good. And this rendering is mayhem.
How'd i miss this one! Thanks for posting
The main reason why Matthew Sweet is completely rock and roll! 🎩🕯🕰🖤
When I sing this song, I sing it slowed-down of course, and with a lotta' twang on it like Dwight Yoakam.
I love this song ❤
This is awesome. 😉
Jesus Christ, this is as heavy as Girlfriend gets. It almost goes off the rails, which is always a good sign.
yeah that II means twice as fast 🤘
Robert Quin's guitar work on this song is great!
Pete Phillips is the guitarist on this performance.
@@thatsalie was talking about the work on the album.
Girlfriend: Amphetamine Mix.

“Here’s comes the rock and roll freight train so you better get the f*ck out of the way!”

@@kirbysvideochannel8297 thank U for that information!
Someone didn't like the color of the M&Ms in the green room...
Matthew to lead guitarist: just wail as hard as you can in key of C#.
Is the rhythm section the guys from the Plugz..?
The bass player is indeed Tony Marsico from The Plugz / Cruzados. Drummer is Ric Menck from Velvet Crush, which Pete Phillips was also in for a time.
@@kearndogger Ah, right on..thanks!
