Its crazy, as slug grows older you can hear how his tone goes from rapping about his situation, to rapping about his memories of the situation. Sean mellows and smooths with age, like a fine wine.
Its cool how artists as big as atmosphere are coming back to real bands on stage and not just pressing play on a laptop. Props to atmosphere and astronautalis
I don't usually comment on youtube videos but this gives me chills every time I watch it. The live band and Slugs raw passion in this song blow my mind.
I feel ya. I could listen to this over and over again. I went to his concert in St. Louis in May and he was waiting outside, talking to fans. I walked up to him and asked if he would be playing "God's Bathroom Floor," since it is my favorite. Unfortunately he told me he retired it for awhile (he said atleast 2 years), but he was very cool about it.
Jester Jenkins That's the formula for good music. Excellent lyrics and excellent beats. I recommend you to check Cunninlynguists and Blue Scholars incase you haven't yet. Peace
***** don't hear many people mention Blue Scholars. theyre really good. about 10 years ago, maybe a little less, I bought their album from a library in Seattle, i think it was, and passed it around on the East coast!
I've heard it so many times....when I saw it live it wasn't nearly this amazing. Upon watching this, tears were brought to my eyes. The warning tattoo behind my ear enjoyed the symphonic beauty that is Sean Daley's incredulously resplendent lyrics.
I fucken love atmosphere.... they are my daily shit ever since i heard the first song i was addicted this is one that i recently found... i fell in love the lyrics! I love SLUG!!!!!!
The DVD is included in a special release of "When Life Gives You Lemons..." Lots of amazing concert performances, and it was only a couple dollars more than the regular CD release.
I saw Slug and Co. in late '06, havent been to a gig since that blew the roof off like they did that night. Hope they do another show in Australia soon...
If it weren't for this song I don't know what kind of shit I would be listening to. When I picked up The Family Sign I immediately checked the venues where he would be touring to and Chicago wasn't on there. I was disappointed until they release the Lollapalooza line-up and sure enough Atmosphere was on there. The ticket is $215 for the festival but I don't give a fuck. I'm paying all that money so my soul can be at ease in that hour that I'm in the front jamming to this beautiful music. Word.
I dont see how atmosphere never got any mainstream exposure like a lot of other hip-hoppers like eminem and shit, atmosphere is a pretty well known rapper
slug and atmosphere never got any exposure because they turned down all the major labels. He's badass in a way that makes all the mainstream artists inferior, he's about the fans and getting all the great unknown talent out of the shadows.
Overcast was the shit, I honestly think this is easily a top 5 atmosphere song, and he has too many good songs but this one really stands out, and its like amazing live
i live in florida but im thinkin of either goin to the boston concert or the philly concert ..... funny thing is i dont even kno anybody in those states i just wanna see atmosphere
One of the best live songs ever!...What ep or lp is this off of, got a most of the atmosphere collection and don't have it...and thank you slug for given some inspiration
Not so much scared. He was too comfortable with the fact that he could get up after drinking 10+ beers and still perform. It was like he was saying to himself "I can do better than this." So to get a band forced him out of his comfort zone and made him become a better musician.
No It wasn't. It was allready on the very first Atmoshpere studio album called Overcast. But this live version is from the DVD which came with When Live Gives You Lemmons Limited Edition.
Its crazy, as slug grows older you can hear how his tone goes from rapping about his situation, to rapping about his memories of the situation. Sean mellows and smooths with age, like a fine wine.
Beautiful description, especially now a decade later, having just seen him live
Its cool how artists as big as atmosphere are coming back to real bands on stage and not just pressing play on a laptop. Props to atmosphere and astronautalis
I'm glad to see the youth of today enjoying one of the best artists of two generations. Keep supporting your local underground.
I don't usually comment on youtube videos but this gives me chills every time I watch it. The live band and Slugs raw passion in this song blow my mind.
my favorite song of all time. got to rap it with slug in chicago for the karaoke on the first paint it gold tour, best day of my life. long live RSE
this is honestly the most beautiful song i have ever come across
Just kicked an opiate addiction, this helped me a lot. Understanding the story he tells .
I watch this like once a week
I feel ya. I could listen to this over and over again. I went to his concert in St. Louis in May and he was waiting outside, talking to fans.

Unfortunately he told me he retired it for awhile (he said atleast 2 years), but he was very cool about it.
this is probably one of the best live dvd's ive ever had.
Damn I like the live version even more. Both are so chilled out
The words explaining how deeply intense Atmospheres lyrics are will never exsist. Nothing. Amazing. Raw, Real, and Rare.
Recently became aware of their talent! Loving it so far.
I love the instrumentation just as much as the lyrics.

John Cassidy Niceee bro. Respect
definitely
one of my favorite songs just to have the sense and creativity to make a song like this is amazing slug is a god
I went to Costa Rica and tripped out in the waterfalls of montezuma listing to these dudes, unforgettable.
I've heard it so many times....when I saw it live it wasn't nearly this amazing. Upon watching this, tears were brought to my eyes. The warning tattoo behind my ear enjoyed the symphonic beauty that is Sean Daley's incredulously resplendent lyrics.
Damn this live show is amazing!!! That band made this song even greater than it was!!!!!!!! I just want the band to keep playing when they stop!
I love when Atmosphere uses a full band. The sound is just so intense. .
this shit always hits home.

@Stevec9210 This song is from '97. More than just 8 years but it only strengthens your point.

umm... you can buy it with the deluxe version of "When Life Gives You Lemons...."

Not so much scared. He was too comfortable with the fact that he could get up after drinking 10+ beers and still perform. It was like he was saying to himself "I can do better than this." So to get a band forced him out of his comfort zone and made him become a better musician.
YEAHHHH!! I GOT TO DO 'POUR ME ANOTHER" on that tour in boston. Fucked up the words so S just let me freestyle and do my thing!! real dude!!!
