Jesse, I really hope you read this. You looked really nervous up there. I don't think you've been on stage in a while, and doing such a classic Op Ivy must have been nerve wracking. BUT PLEASE PLAY AGAIN. Please read all the comments. We love your music. I'm 45, and Op Ivy was the soundtrack to my youth. Now it's the soundtrack to my kid's youth. You made something very special. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
Absolutely!!! Please work with Tim and do a operation ivy reunion. 🙏🏽 it was so amazing to see this. Those people didn't know how truly special this was.
It looks like he loosened up towards the end. Fuckin love this band
I thought he just need little warm up before up to the stage 😁 coz in the end of part he started jump and more enjoy it. Love them since 97/98. Cheers from Indonesia 🍻
Lokks like the mic was fkd up and he was agitated
I think it is because that he had some issues in his voice, i read it in a post some years ago
To be fair, I’ve only waited 25 years to see something like this.
Jesse played with Matt and Tim in 2006 in San Francisco
@@rsplatpc I was there to witness that 2006 magical moment
@@travisthomas3821 is there ANY video of it anywhere? I figured SOMEONE would have shot something, but there is no video of it anywhere
23 years for me. I fell in love with op ivy in 1999
Me too
I probably would've fainted if I saw this live. I don't go to shows anymore but I'd see an OpIvy reunion in a heartbeat
I would’ve been pumped to have been there! Fuck! This is amazing
Same first thought after hearing this! And also probably the best audio quality available for this song. Lol.
💯
Nah, keep legends in the past so they can continue to be legendary
Hell yeah! I still go to shows, but I'd run to see operation ivy too!
Tim looking and sounding really clear and healthy here, good for him!
Yea fuck yea Tim it's good to see u back bro 💯 💪
He sounds sober. Good for him.
@BAAL BUSTERS Music may be, but he wasn't.
There was moments where you could see Jesse forget about the crowd and lose himself in the song, and start smiling. I wish him all the best, there's an entire generation of people hoping to see this again, he's a legend among legends.
Fuck me this is awesome. What a legendary revival. I'm a 40 something dad, but I will never not listen to Energy end-to-end. Op Ivy was such an important part of my teenage years. And everyone saying Jesse looks nervous, but he warmed up fairly quickly and was spittin' those rapid fire lyrics as well as he did in '88. I really hope Jesse keeps doing little mini-reunions like this.
That and Blatz/Filth Shitsplit was always on heavy rotation with those three bands playing back to back in some order when at LEAST one of those records landed on the turntable. I too am in my 40's, pushing LATE 40's, like three years from 50! In the very early 90s, this was good.
I was never a fan of Rancid tho. Talented with out a doubt but it just wasn't the type of music I was into. I think by the time Rancid put out their second LP, I was more into the Crust Punk scene at that time.
Started in 87 ended in 89, got a garage or an Amp, well play anytime
OpIvy for fucking ever
Imagine how awesome this was for the interrupters. Getting to be on stage w two musicians than legit shaped their sound.
I know right that is a dream come true for them and a testament to how good they are
Yeah they've been around for a while keeping it alive
Kevin was a touring musician for Rancid and Transplants years before the Interrupters. That's how the latter got Tim's attention and mentoring.
Jesse being human on stage. This was a reminder to me that the people who made these iconic pieces of history are sometimes nervous and self-critical just like the rest of us. Jesse killed it though. You can tell how much this meant to him. At the end of the day, road-worn musician or a man stepping back into the spotlight after so many years outside of it, punk rock will always be a community where everyone who gives a piece of themselves to it will be treated with equal respect. Makes me proud to be a punk.
Op Ivy stands the test of time. As a teenage punk rock kid in 2009, even I had the Op Ovy logo painted on the back of a leather jacket. Timeless legends.
Jesse you sound great! So wonderful to hear you again. I'm 38 and have been listening to op ivy since I was 16 and listen almost weekly. Thank you and good luck
Jesse you still sound completely awesome. I'm 42 now and have loved Op Ivy since I was 16. I still wear my op ivy shirt I got when I was a teenager. Your music has stayed important to me all these years and I think it's even more important today.
1 year later but how do you wear it
The love I have for Tim Armstrong, his bands Operation Ivy Rancid and Transplants, his solo songs is beyond words. Thank God for punk and ska💕🖤💯
Amen Tim is truly amazing
He has lived a poet's life.
Our generation's Dylan❤️
Fuck ya ! You said it.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Tim Armstrong is my favorite artist/songwriter of all time and Rancid/OpIvy have been the soundtrack to my life since I was a child. 31 now and been listening since the 3rd grade. It pays to have older brothers & cousins who listen to great music lol
I was about 9 when my older sister introduced me to OpIvy. Now I’m 37 and still blast these guys everywhere I go. I even have the energy man tattooed on me for life. Keep rocking boys 🤙🏼
Holy crap I've wanted to see this moment happen since I was 15 years old! I'm 35 now and still rockin out to Operation Ivy, Rancid, The Interuppters, and anyone else with a sick ska beat!
I started listening to operation ivy when I was 15 (1995) and I haven't stopped. I always listen to op ivy on the first sunny day of the spring. It's my yearly ritual.
Haven’t listened to anything Tim has done in a few years - I’m amazed how healthy he sounds (speaking and singing!)
I can imagine. He goes up and down. In the 90s he would just spin on stage and jump everywhere while Lars carried what he could. Then Tim would just play random parts it was so weird but I’ve been a fan my whole life seen them in every stage.
@@cuchuloholic you just described to a T what I saw the last time I went to see rancid which was a hell of a long time ago.
@@TheSickNeeds lol thats hilarious. It is not like that anymore Tim is on top of things but damn haha some shows were crazy.
@@cuchuloholic more unfortunate than hilarious. Good that that phase is behind him.
@@TheSickNeeds more hilarious that you remember things the same to a T not the way he was
when i was a dumbass teenager i stole an op ivy cassette from a local chain music store... i just donated what i should have paid for it then. rock on!
Thank you!!
Haha! Nice
Very nice lol
There needs to be an official Op Ivy reunion... And goddamn does Jesse sound GREAT !! Man he sounds just like he did when he was a kid. Energy is a timeless classic that will live on for generations to come...as long as us fans pass it on to our kids. My 5 yr old son loves this song... And his favorite is "Bad Town".... Op Ivy forever.
Another band that sounds EXACTLY as they did when they where kids is the (UK)Subhumans.
Michaels still has that lively and raspy sound to his voice, after over 30 years. I never held my breath for a proper reunion but it's nice to see they haven't lost their touch.
Hey Jesse, No disrespect to dudes comment below but I don’t think you looked nervous at all. Every last one of you spot on fucking nailed this song! No matter what shitty mood Im in I hear this song & it takes me back to the days of carefree & youth! Life before my dream crusher kids😂🤣😂I’m kidding I love my dream crushers more then life itself 🖤🥰😊🫶🤍
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh hell yeah. I’ve been looking for this since I saw the photo. My childhood called and turned the volume all the way up.
To all the OGs who were in Op Ivy and who loved them from back in the day, bless up! From Australia.
Jesse looks so nervous, and it’s cool to see him get really into it toward the end.
This wasn’t a perfect performance by any means, but it’s fun.
That’s what I thought. He cracked a smile and did his leap near the end. Nice to see him enjoy the moment!
Probably tough to get back into that frame of mind of back when they used to play back in the day after that many years.
I wonder if much of the blame just goes to the sound board.
It's punk, it's not about playing perfectly
Fuck perfection, we ain't about that shit. The beauty is in the humanity.
This is fantastic. Fan of Op Ivy since about 1990, and I finally got to see Tim in October at Aftershock playing in Rancid. Great show!
This is so beautiful. I think I'm gonna cry. Thank you Jesse and thank you Tim. You guys have changed my life.
Right? When I first heard this I had no idea the effect hearing it again 25 years later would have on me.
This was 100% classic, and brought back so many great memories too. Took me back to 1994, in middle school, when a friend at school let me borrow the 27 songs of pure gold, that made up that Operation Ivy CD. I had just discovered Rancid, with the release of Let's Go and its first single, Salvation, and I'll never forget him saying "you have got to check out Tim and Matt's earlier band!". Needless to say, I loved the whole CD, and went out that following weekend and purchased a copy for myself. Those songs changed my life, that CD changed my life, as did Rancid's music as well...I miss those times, and I miss those years as well. So crazy when I realize, that all was 28 years ago...where has the time gone to? Time flies, unfortunately...🤷
I'm 40 and have been waiting to see this since I was a teenager! Please tour Operation Ivy again! I bought an op ivy tshirt in LA a few years ago and still think its my coolest tshirt ever
Tim and Jesse have a new band!!! Doom Regulator - their single 'Raid' is on TH-cam (it's reggae!). It looks like they were originally going to be called Bad Optix but it was too close to an existing band's name.
I would not be able to contain myself, i know alot of opivy by heart and im only 29 xD, to be able to actually see a legendary let alone any legendary band play.... wouldve been amazing probably life changing.
like any rancid show or one of the misfits reunion shows or something....
So cool to see this. Jesse sounds just like he did in Op Ivy. A reunion would be awesome.
Maaaaan, Jesse’s vocals gave me chills. What a joy
wish they did another song to play together, jesse look like he's just getting warm up toward the end of the song
Been having a rough one, this kind of stuff brings me back up again
Jesse was SUPER nervous, but he still killed it!!! He sounds the same as he did on the record! But by the end, Jesse started bouncing around, the holy ghost got him! 😃
SOUND SYSTEM GONNA BRING ME BACK UP! ONE THING THAT I CAN DEPEND ON!
Jesse is a personal hero. I even have a Jesse Michael’s bobblehead 😂
Jesse still has it. His band Classics of Love put out an amazing record in like 2012. I’m fully in for a reunion.
Actually I think it was common rider?
@@jovanventura8726 Classics of Love was his band after Common Rider.
@@stevestrengberg6984 very bizarre because common rider had a song named classics of love baha
He has another band besides common rider?
@@rosecox8115 search classics of love - castle in the sky
Jesse and Lint fucking rock,they still look so young,hope they do an Operation Ivy tour that would be fucking Epic
My 48 year old ass would come out of show retirement for an Op Ivy reunion in a heartbeat! Take my fn money NOW, I want to DANCE!
Punk rock dont need Money still live in our souls ! Good song!!
Wow Jesse Michaels really has the same energy on stage as Terry Hall, and i mean it as a compliment...!
Lol he has no energy at all. This is terrible.
@@paulrayray7596 he looked so mad to be there haha he only even came out when the song started lol and could not leave fast enough afterwards haha
How about$10?? Thank you so much for capturing and sharing this amazing moment!! ❤️❤️
You're the best!
Thank you!!
Never thought tim would end up looking like tom hanks in cast away
Thank you Jesse for getting up there and doing this.
Tim and Jesse rocking with the Bivonas is amazing🙏🌎🍀
Jesse was mic'ed pretty bad. What a bummer because he sounded great.
Seriously thought this title was just click bait. Stunned that it wasn't.
So jesse was 13 when they became friends, thats crazy
Growing up, Op IVY was a thing of the past, a Brief and Brilliant flash that was there and gone before everyone was able to enjoy it. Seeing this 20+ years later, is awesome
Missed Jesse for 30 years. Do a full show. Ps nothing more punk than wearing a surgical mask to a punk concert to prevent an inevitable infection that we don’t even test for anymore because it doesn’t and never has mattered.
Sorry if your grandma died. She only had a couple years left anyway. Still sorry. Wuhan lab.
So many of us...THIS is our fav Op Ivy Song!
Jesse still sounds great!
In 1982 I was ten. When this hit I was a bit older and want to thank you for it. This is my youth
Spark . Chemistry. They have it. If they reunited properly it would be the biggest thing in punk this century. Iv been waiting years for this
Amen to that!!!
I was in a small time ska band for a while when I was younger. We covered Unity by Operation. These dudes have a special place in my heart.
Rock on!
ひろゆきが論破してる日本はは平和と言うよりはかま掛論でしたよね
Saw the final OpIvy show at Gilman in 89. So surreal seeing Lint and Jesse doing this so many decades later.
Not to many albums I cherish like their masterpiece.
Love it. Sound of my youth and of my life.
I'm so drawn to something about Jesse. He seems real, a touch nervous. Maybe he is unsure about these gigs, or uncomfortable in some way. But fuck, hearing him sing these songs that I loved so much 25 years ago is very moving.
Pure Magic love OI sorry jesse never was a fan of rancid
A classic song! Thanks for posting this! Awesome reunion 🔥
You can see in Jesse's face at the start he is quite nervous but as he gets further through the song the memories of being on stage and how much fun he had came flooding back and he really got into it. I hope to see an Operation Ivy reunion.
Jesse That was Great same With you Lint (Tim) Reunion Show saw ya play with Leftover Crack and sang Sound system and Unity and Love it the play went crazy you have so much energy and Op Ivy is the Soundtrack of my Youth Thank you for this. But Operation Reunion Tour Come on just one go If not well ty for the inspirational music you have gave us.
Randomly came across this on YT.. I always loved Jesse's voice.. amazing they did this.
Op Ivy come back and tour!!!
As someone in my mid 40's I'm always happy to see the people I was influenced by as a kid still alive and doing well. I loved Op Ivy starting back in the mid 90s and haven't seen Jesse since, so to see him perform was a real treat. Tim looked good too, I'm glad to have seen this.
Wow. Jesse sounds just like back in the day. Special moment for all of us. I hope he enjoyed it half as much as we all do ❤
Wish Matt Freeman coulda been there too, still awesome though
I would’ve loved to be at that show, I would’ve had the time of my life. Ive been listening to operation ivy for years now because my it reminds me of my mothers. Seeing the original members of op ivy play live can literally be a once in a lifetime event, its so rare, especially with how Jesse thinks about op ivy. A lot of people in the crowd i bet didn’t know who op ivy were, and they don’t realize just how lucky they where, i envy everything about this performance and i wish i would’ve witnessed it first hand.
THE reunion I'm waiting to see happen for Punk Rock Bowling, Op Ivy full reunion, full set,
Oooooh jaAaaa!!!Oh yeah,...I'm instantly 25 years younger with these sounds Op.ivy are my favorite band besides Rancid (and, of course, old music artists :Dk,exploited,Oi!Polloi,Clash,Ramones,chaos Uk,UkSubs,SubHumAns and so on and on! Superior Tim and the rest of the gang
WAIT!!!!! Are those other musicians the guys from THE INTERRUPTERS?!?!??! OMG!!! I wish I was there.
Anybody else’s head hurt from watching Jesse trying to adjust the mic stand?
I get nervous too sometimes the whole two tone movement was about unity an Jessie and Tim and Matt nailed that right there. West side Cleveland Punk who loves songs from the Bay!
The most impressive thing isn't thsoe to reuniting after all these years. It's that Tim apparently CAN play guitar live.
Lol.
Haha, That's funny for sure, but I've seen Rancid 4 or 5 times, and Tim plays guitar very well and he still moves around! Go Tim!
@@S.A.PUNX666 we must have seen a different band then, because 90% of each show his guitar has the switch down. even in the ska songs, which depend on his guitar, he just shuts it off at random times to do some hand gestures.
Op Iv was WAY better than rancid.... never made te jump myslef.. I found NOmeansno & other more meaningful punk rock instead of listing to rancids cheesy loves songs.
Rancid sucks, your sell outs that made no political leanings like nofx, just a band of hacky money grubbers. MDC RULES YOU!
Operation Ivy is one of those bands that is always nice to hear. I first got into them about 30 years ago, and I wore out more than one tape in my teenage years. As I got older my tastes changed a lot as I got into hardcore, crossover, grind, as well as a lot of non-punk type music, and Operation Ivy started to feel like old news…. But then someone would put it on, and I’d be right back there, singing along to every song. That’s true to this day.
I don’t know I’d be into a reunion tour though. If they wanted to do it and people were into it, I’d be happy for them. I just don’t have much interest in seeing bands play big venues with tons of security and corporate sponsorship. I’d want to see them in someone’s basement, a warehouse, a dive bar, etc. Punk shows don’t happen in large music venues, as far as I’m concerned. That’s not what I mean when I say “punk show” anyways. Rancid plays rock concerts. I’ve never had much fun at those.
Well, that frickin rocked. LFG. Op Ivy reunion. Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up...!!!
Honestly, Tim. Jesse, Matty, Lars,Travis, Robb, all you pinko fucks tryna get a few more bucks in the hat b4 the liquor store closes!!! You’ve all inspired every artist from every walk up and turn down on the planet. Stay gold, don’t become their gimmick, I love and respect you brother. See you at the penny arcade!!
Top de mais tim 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome...crap backing players but Tim and Jesse are spot on..wish Jesse tore into the vocals a bit more, seemed towards the end he was. A shame they will never reunite but it's for a very good reason. Op Ivy will never be tainted.
Jesse Michaels has always been a stand up dude. I really hope to see him do some more music.
Alv 34 años tengo yo actualmente. Ese tim es la mera verdura
Sounds good but I saw Op Ivy In 88 and the it factor, well they just had it. I’ve probably gone though 6-7 copies of the album over the years, and I had the cassette. Isn’t the same without Matt, and Dave brought a certain swing that another drummer just can’t match. ReUnite for a tour. Unity, remember?
Man, the guys KILLED IT. Awesome work guys
Remember the first time I heard op ivy as a kid, changed my whole musical outlook forever. Would love them to do a whole set. Thanks for the upload
It’s cool until you see people wearing masks
And dude, they were fucking OUTSIDE!! lol
Haha speaking sound systems, the sound guy turning literally every knob on Jesse’s mic is cracking me up. “Ooh it’s quiet, let’s boost the gain .. okay how bout some reverb. Ok how about a butload of reverb. Wait is that a delay knob? Sweet! Ok what else…”
Holy SHIT. Jesse on fucking POINT, LOVE HIM!
Wow I would have loved to have been there.
Op Ivy 4 life
Somebody turn Jesse’s mic up…he sounded good what a iconic vocalist I felt like I was kid again listening to Operation Ivy or Common Rider what a shame it looked like he was waiting for someone to turn his mic up.
Stop teasing 😅, get back together for a reunion tour. Glad to see them on stage together again, they never had bad blood just doing thier own thing, they are proper friends again and seeing and speaking each other more often (as jesse said). Such great lyrics written by jesse on i think all of the songs, he is a lyrical genius and such a inspirational album.
The rumor was (at least in our punk community in the late 90s and early 00s) that Tim Armstrong's odd singing voice was due to some kind of dyslexia he suffered from but now that I'm older than Tim was when he put those albums out I understand that it's just his gimmick I guess (for lack of a better word) as he's clearly capable of talking and speaking clearly
What!! This was last week!! I still listen to the vinyl album I bought at GoBoy back in the days. This sounded great, I would pay money to see these guys play
Epic! An Op Ivy reunion would rule the world. And just for the record, my two year old has requested "Op Ivy" and "Wanna Stop a War" so much, I straight sewed an Op Ivy patch on his hoodie a couple months back. The boy grinned from ear to ear when I gave it to him.
MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we PLEASE GET A REUNION TOUR??? Even if it's just a California tour?
Op Ivy reunion tour NOW!! That sounded amazing!
I will always represent unity and speak against discrimination and exclusion Cleveland Punx love Rancid and Op Ivy! Give em the boot!
