Saw them almost 27 years ago in 4th grade. After i saw them i was like "how do i get paid to experience this over and over?" Then i learned guitar. Then i went to school for music. Then i started working in the music industry. And now on Tuesday I'm working their show. This is so meta. I can't believe how excited i am.
These guys were my first concert. They played with The Lemonheads. Appleton Arena at St. Lawrence University. They were great. They covered Spice up your Life by The Spice Girls and even did the jingle for the local hardware store because they heard it on the radio.
So I am doing the morning show at a Rock station at Ft. Wood. (Zep, Floyd, Seger etc.) I started slowly introducing other artists to the playlist and this was one of the songs I would slip in. The soldiers LOVED IT!! This is simply a fantastic “Live” album no matter what “format”!!
Very cool. I love the Barenaked Ladies from way back to Lovers In A Dangerous Time. Saw then live in TO before they were anybody but this is STILL, after all these years, my favourite song ever. It will be played at my funeral. No kidding.
It was the beginning of the end for the Toronto that I grew up in.....Spending time in Sam the Record Man, then hopping across the street to FunLand arcade and then World's Biggest Bookstore and/or Millwheel Music on Elm Street...
I love this song..didn't at first..but grew on me. Now one of my fave BNL songs.. Love the parallel between him and Brian Wilson he wrote about - struggles with mental illness, laying on a couch being evaluated by a psych, and battling weight issues. Brian Wilson actually did his own version as an answer to the tribute. Great when a song truly touches another. That's a sign of a GREAT piece of song writing and music.
The energy, intensity and execution of this live performance, is so on point, that it's one of those rare occasions, wherein that it outshines the original studio recording, version!
What a unique sound. You can actually understand the lyrics. Just love these guys. Will listen to them when and if in a nursing home. To heck with quiet elevator music. Going to rock it out with bnl. Bought originally for if I had a million dollars, then fell in love with whole album. Definition of timeless!!!!!
Whole album is good. Just...good. Not even a huge BNL fans, and there's simply not a bad track. And the live versions are ALL better than the original album versions.
Love the way he goes off the rails (in a good way) and lets the song take him away. So much power, fun and control. This is a real artist releasing the shackles and creating magic on canvass.
This song reminds me of when I used to love going down to Sam The Record Man near Yonge & Dundas & picking up a record. I now live in the UK so fond memories of T.O. (just to check out the late night record shop)
I know you're not supposed to have a compilation album for your favorite one of a band, but this really is my fave. They hit it with every song on this. (And if you still have the actual CD, listen to the hidden track after 'If I Had a Million Dollars'!)
So awhile back when I was maybe 6-7 my family live in a apartment in Fayetteville,ny, Steven page and his girlfriend (I believe it was), lived right below us (it was like an apartment with an upstairs living area and a downstairs living area). Anyway me and my brothers would play with his kids (they might have been his step kids) and we would hangout like everyday. One day I went to there part of the apartment and we seen Steve (at the time I had barely any idea who he was). My dad got some CD's signed by him and he talked about his time with bnl. But Everytime I listen to bnl I think about the days we would play and how cool it is to tell people I lived right next door to a rock star. 😂😂😂
@ Arthur Compton You're 100% on the money w/re to these songs being even better than when they were recorded in the studio. In my mind these guys can play ... and very very well.

I like barenaked ladies.
And the band too.

I'm 44 and this is one of only 2 albums I can listen to start to finish. Just great, all of it.
These guys were my first concert. They played with The Lemonheads. Appleton Arena at St. Lawrence University. They were great. They covered Spice up your Life by The Spice Girls and even did the jingle for the local hardware store because they heard it on the radio.
This is probably my favorite live album. It's got great sound quality, and there is so much passion in these tracks.
Opening lyrics give me goosebumps every time, haha.
Me too
And that one bit going "ow-ow"! (Dunno if it's someone in the audience but I always thought so.)
Totaly ausum man Mike digiovanni9😁
Can't help but smile every time I hear this. Memories of good times.
so great so underrated one of my favorites live albums ever

hard to believe this was released 28 years ago! great tune and easy to strum along with
I listened to this in high school. so much nostalgia!!!
THAT GIRLS' SCREAM IS THE ESSENCE OF ROCK N ROLL. chills
This one brings the happier times back. Thank you for posting.
Toronto in the early 90's. It's so changed now. Gone. I miss spending hours in those record stores & bars.
It was the beginning of the end for the Toronto that I grew up in.....Spending time in Sam the Record Man, then hopping across the street to FunLand arcade and then World's Biggest Bookstore and/or Millwheel Music on Elm Street...
Heard this on my college roommates computer in 2001 and have been a fan ever since.
I love this song..didn't at first..but grew on me. Now one of my fave BNL songs..

This is my all favorite song of bnl and this is best version and Steve voice through out this whole cd makes it my favorite album
This is the BNL song that I had memorized first. I love this song and some how it makes me feel happy and warm. yet also, a little sad.
Cherry Rose most accurate comment on here.
This is my depression song of CHOICE
Thank you for posting the "Rock Spectacle" version of this song!
Definitely my favorite song from the Live album!
One Week was my first exposure to BNL, but Brian Wilson is what made me a fan.
The energy, intensity and execution of this live performance, is so on point, that it's one of those rare occasions, wherein that it outshines the original studio recording, version!
I didn't discover them until 1998 on the way to see D.M.B. The whole album is excellent.
Should have been bigger that they were!!!!!!!!
when this album came out.. bought it just for this song.. and I think the Old Apartment song was on there too 😭
Arguably the best live album ever!
What a unique sound. You can actually understand the lyrics. Just love these guys. Will listen to them when and if in a nursing home. To heck with quiet elevator music. Going to rock it out with bnl.

Alex Tocqueville you are right.
Agreed.
So much energy.
Love the way he goes off the rails (in a good way) and lets the song take him away. So much power, fun and control. This is a real artist releasing the shackles and creating magic on canvass.
Break Your Heart is the perfect example. The live version is so good
this brings back some great memories
This song reminds me of when I used to love going down to Sam The Record Man near Yonge & Dundas & picking up a record. I now live in the UK so fond memories of T.O. (just to check out the late night record shop)
Onya dude! Those were good times! Last there in ‘88.
@@redcoat4ever323 Nice one. Are you Canadian ?
This is the greatest BNL song ever. I rocked this at karaoke a while back.
It is a wonderful tribute to one of the greatest musicians of all time
Best live album every. You feel the emotion in ever song. I still have this CD to this day.
Drove downtown in the rain nine-thirty on a Tuesday night!
Man, this song just hits every mark. They were on fire
Who in the hell would dislike this song?
Remember hearing them sing this live on Beverly Hills 90210! So much better live.
This whole live album makes me a happy boi!
They actually put the live version on their greatest hits album instead of the studio cut.
Dude I just discover this awesome tune
I have seen these guys live since "Gordon" A great, fun concert, every time....
This song is so epic.
This is a masterpiece
amazing.these guys are so good accoustic
Ah, I've Found It !!
..Thanks for posting.. 😎
Brian Wilson was THE best musician
He is still alive a truly beautiful person with a great gift for music
Is this the best comic book fight ever in a film? A great fight *should* feel more like a dance! xD
Great song forever
Love these guys
to Mayabella Toback you seen to have good taste in music I can remember when they came out in the 90s and loved them ever since
love this band👍
I can really relate to this song, don't know why for sure....
What a fuckin good band.
Props to the board opp for quickly drowning out the drunk audience trying to sing over the band
Best version.
i finally read the lyrics to this song....these guys are smart......they are so keen.....
Drank so much beer to this at the bars at the U of I in the late 90’s.
one of the better canuck bands
The downtown Toronto that used to be is now gone. I still miss it
I know you're not supposed to have a compilation album for your favorite one of a band, but this really is my fave. They hit it with every song on this. (And if you still have the actual CD, listen to the hidden track after 'If I Had a Million Dollars'!)
"Excuse me, do you know where the Bryan Street Theater is?" ;)
HEYitzED For Christ's sake! :)
WELL!
Terrell L. Moody that damn old lady!!

1997 regularly played song, never knew it'd be 2022 and I'd wish my friends didn't relate to it.
I really wish I experienced that event:(

Call it impulsive, call it compulsive

But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop
It's a matter of instinct
It's a matter of conditioning and a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's Dog
Ring a bell and I'll salivate
How'd you like that?
Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue
'Cause right now I'm lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
So I'm lying here
Just staring at the ceiling tiles
And I'm thinking about, oh what to think about
Just listening and relistening
To Smiley Smile
And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought
Because I'm lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am Lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, whoa
And if you want to find me
I'll be out in the sandbox
Just wondering where the hell all the love has gone
I'm playing my guitar and building
Castles in the sun, oh oh oh
And singing "Fun, Fun, Fun"
Lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did
Well I am lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did, whoa
I had a dream
That I was three hundred pounds
And though I was very heavy
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Somebody, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody, I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me
Because I'm lying in bed
Just like Brian Wilson did

Someone open a portal to 1997 so I can walk through it. Please.
Dammyl1971 you'd still be 2 years behind this album, "maybe you should drive"

“Castles in the sun”
I remember them at Massey Hall way back when. Shook Ed Robertson's hand and got his guitar pick.
This album is just better than good. BNL is a beast of a band live.
so rock on maya
Groovy
my parody of this song would be "lying in bed just like John Lennon did" cause John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent a week in bed to try and promote peace
Christopher mommy loves you! 💋
Lying in bed with my 12 year old dog, Hugo, wondering where the hell all the time has gone
she isn't a dummy at ten .you tube at ten isn't bad ,unless its adult oriented.
Lyin in bed.....
Lyrics please................
.........
And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox
Just wondering where the hell the love has gone
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun
And singing "Fun, Fun, Fun"
🎶Call it compulsive 🎵call it compulsive call,🎵 Call it insane 🎶
i'm am stealing the bnl's souls so i can win a nobel prize.....thank you......
Not the same band without page
I'm voting for Trump.
Are you with me no?
Prefer the studio, not live version.
so great so underrated one of my favorites live albums ever
Even better, the "BNLTV" on the ECD is just funny af too. What a band.
Not only is the entire album live perfection, but Jim Creegan’s stand-up bass throughout the album is kicking
