Mike Watt and the Jom & Terry Show: Eyegifts From Minnesota by Bill Draheim
Mike Watt, the great bassist from Minutemen, fireHose, The Stooges, etc., is the focus of this documentary. After 49 tours across the United States Watt performs his first gig in Duluth at the Norshor Theater then his first show in Saint Paul at the Turf Club. Finally the documentary ends in Minneapolis with his 46th show in as many days at the 7th Street Entry.
Co/Director: Bill Draheim
Camera Operator: Bill Draheim - เพลง
Watt is a true one of a kind.
Yes he is. I do have another show that I shot not included in this documentary that I will post soon. Thank you for watching.
Everything Mike says is poetry and right on.
It’s that South Cali poetry.
One of my dreams is to take a trip with Mike in his van. This is the next best thing. Thanks a lot.
+Rusty Shackleford Thank you and you're welcome Rusty. Please check out more of my work here: www.billdraheim.com
Rusty Shackleford Mike gave me and my girlfriend a ride home in the van after a show in tempe in 96. It was one of my greatest moments.
Anything mike watt does is seriously the greatest
Yeah he is pretty dope.
Love the Turf Club, seen Watt there, saw the Meat Puppets......saw the Meat Puppets with Mike at the Cabooze, one of my favorite memories....
Thanks for the watch. Please subscribe to see a Secondmen First Ave show coming soon.
I love Mike watts music, and I still miss D boon
Love this documentary. I saw Mike play at Leicester Princess Charlotte in '91 on the Flyin' the Flannel tour. Will always love his music.
Thank you
Great doc...brought back memories of better days...
Thank you!
have had the true honor to see watt live and talk with him several times at first avenue, 7th street entry and turf club..was also surprised to see one of our spiels in his tour diary!... how he remembers these conversations after talking to so many fans is unreal...righteous man can't wait to see again
Thank you Robert for the story. I do have one more show that I shot that isn’t on this doc. It’s actually a Missingmen gig in the Entry. Please subscribe to not miss out when it’s uploaded. Thanks
Mike talks of a young fan that knew of music that influenced him - The Stooges....stuff I at age 58 know nothing about....I am that young fan in reverse!
Robin Linn Thank you for the comments. It’s never to late to pick up a new record from an old band. Good luck!!

This is excellent! My bass hero and home state. Love the John Cale cover as well. Nice work.
Thank you for the post
I had no idea Mike Watt was involved in so many bands I love listening to
Watt is an influence to many.
+Bill Draheim Hellyae man, do u have any new documentaries?
+flopimus sorry, just saw the link underneath my comment

flopimus Thank you so much. I am honored to have you as a fan. Much Much respect.
This is really great stuff. Hadn't seen this one. Good good tunes.
Thank you! He did a lot of covers on this tour.
saw him in berlin. project with 2 italian musicians. amazing.
svoboda simon Thank you for your interest. I appreciate it. Bill
'Il sogno del Marinaio' is the name of the band. Saw them in Rome 2 days ago..intimate gig.. Mike signed my bass. I still haven't fully processed it.
Loved this. Great Work. I rode in the Boat and Mike stayed at my pad in 2005 in Iowa City....great memory! Second Man's Middle stand tour...
Thank you for watching.
David W Warren go hawks
The is RIGHTEOUS!! Thank you so much! I was at the Entry show and I remember reading about the filming on Watt's online tour journal (along with the speakers blowin' up, the speaker falling on his foot, Eden factory trip, etc.). MN Hat Trick Tour! Love Watt! Thanks again, Bill! As Watt would say, "much respect!"
Thank you Chad. I have other docs from Minneapolis on my page as well.
Just saw Watt + Jom and Terry on May 2, 2017, in Denver. Wonderful show. Watt smacked the bass so hard that the pickup came loose. A roadie came on stage with a screwdriver and fixed it. Watt also stopped in the middle of Red and the Black and chastised the drummer for being off time. They started back up and killed it.
Awesome story. Thank you.
This doc makes me think of "Black Derby Jacket" by Rancid! Awesome
saw him tonight live in berlin with stefano and andrea amazing gig as Il Sogno del Marinaio. amazing
That's rad.
We opened for Watt & Il Sogno del Marinaio last Saturday. Unforgettable experience. He's such an incredible musician and sweet, humble person at the same time.
great stuff bravi guys hope all went well
Stonerror How true
Makes me miss Duluth. Lived across the border in Thunder Bay for a while. 3 hour drive. Duluth was way nicer town to hang out in. Cross over the bridge to Superior WI and fill up the car with beer and booze. Long live old man punk!
+Dann Alexander such a fun town eh.
Very nice.

while listening, going, yep, yep, while he's spielin...100%genuine! anyway, Watt and Draheim, nice job, it's been a pleasure.
.
Thanks Adam. Had a great time working on this. True punk and true musician.
What a trip it would be to do these van tours then get the Gig with the Stooges for a few years and go out with the trucks and the buses only to have to get home and dust off the van for next tour.
It makes you appreciate the commitment.
Hurry please
Jam econo!!!

Guts by John Cale says it all...
What year did this take place? I saw him a few weeks after 9/11/01 (Nine Eleven) in Lexington KY & both those dudes were in the band but they were not a 3piece....
keith chapman I shot this in 2000. I don’t know what version saw. Secondmen?
@@BillDraheim thanks man, I think maybe it was The Crew of the Flying Saucer. The show was at Lynaugh's Pub in Lexington KY.
keith chapman You’re welcome

svoboda simon He is truly amazing. Watt represents true aspects of the punk ideology. I am blessed to have had this opportunity to spend this time with him.
Was this a tour for a particular album?
+The Dedicated No. I believe this was just one of his Hellrides
Cool, thanks!

oh mary cooper great haircuts

First time I saw Mike was in 82 or 83 last time was in 2004. I had many chances to see him play at the Prospector in LB and elsewhere but was always lazy and watching this I want to kick myself.
I have another show ( Secondmen) coming that I shot. Subscribe and wait for it.
Leg. End.
Does Watt not have a cell phone? That has to be the last pay phone on earth. He is looking fairly fit here. Good to see. The visual style of this doc is not my thing, but interesting.
You have to remember this was 2002. Cells were not as big of a deal. Especially not for Him. Plus the fact he was probably just scrapping by paying bills.

Yes you no help
the others never drive? wtf not fair
Mike drives his ass off.
No Masters, Only Students
I have another show ( Secondmen) coming that I shot. Subscribe and wait for it.

Thanks for the watch!!
Mike! No offense but you gotta get over D. Boone.
Nope, he actually doesn't.
He doesn't have to do shit. Nothing wrong with keeping the life of a lost loved one fresh in your mind.
Lost one of my band brothers too. It never goes away. Easy to say until it happens to you.
@Noble Failures what else makes you think he might be gay?
That's a part of what makes Mike so great. Thanks for the watch. Subscribe for more Watt (Seconedmen) videos.
