This guy was truly an unrecognized genius. His songs were both macabre and rocking and his poetry is some of the best examples of sarcasm laden snippets of life experience... Miss him greatly.
I don't know if I'd ever heard "Day And Night Before," at least not since I watched the original episode of Fridays in the 1980s. What a hidden gem. This song takes my breath away. Somebody, do a cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in the audience and saw this live. Just noticed, did the network or the band edit the line in People Who Died from 'Eddie got slit in the jugular vein' to a milder saying?
I can answer that. I was a big fan of Fridays when it was going on and the whole new wave rock thing as well. Bill Lee was a producer or one of the main people behind Fridays the show. The night that Jim Carroll's band played Bill had just succumbed to cancer. Probably within days of this going on the air live. So Jim changed that line to "Bill died fighting the pain. Bill we miss you more than all the others, this song is for you my brother" True story. I'm sure they'll be back checkers to back me up or criticize me and condemn me if I'm wrong
Of Blue Oyster Cult fame. I think Patti Smith (a co-writer of some BOC songs and with her own music career) was the link between Jim Carroll and Allen Lanier.

I played the hell out of his albums. The movie basketball diaries was just how it was. Very relatable.R.I.P. Jim Jim🎸🎸🎸🙏🙏
@@rickyhiemstra9993 Thanks
@@abbyboyd5111 Her name is Amy Kanter. She sang it on the Album Catholic Boy with Jim as well.
@@zuzepfingeredfleas8744 : Thanks for the info.. It's been bugging me. 😉
Is the rhythm guitar any relation to Jim? they look a lot alike 👍
🙏Rip Jim - We'll miss you mate😞🥀
Props to the lead guitarist! Nice solo!👌👏
Catholic Boy album's lyrics are some of the best of all time.
Love that album
I had the privilege to be in the studio for this show. One of three times I got to see Jim and the band over the years.

Loved that show
So good and melodic song. Not a surprise when Allen Lanier from B Ö C co-wrote the song. I love how hte pretty young lady sings :-D Who is she?
Not only was Jim amazing in all ways, this band was so underrated.
Very underated performer/writer/ poet. Very much missed!
Jim was a true poet and the music he sang was real life.
RIP
I don’t think Jim Carroll had a bad song both albums and his singles are are bangers
Very underrated as a musician
Great rendition. Loved this song when it first came out and I was in catholic boys’ prep school.
I remember watching this. I was hooked. Jim Carroll was a legend.
One hell of a song. Unmatched.
I love his books and performances!!
I probably read The Diaries 25 times.
I saw his band, with Lenny Kaye as guitarist, at the Back Cat in DC in the 90’s. Amazing!
amazing Jim
Amazing Jim! Thank you for all!!
Classic song. My roommates loved this song when it came out.
Which one?
@@ajmurtagh27 yes
I miss him.
He died...
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
That's Allen Lanier from BOC on keyboards by the way. I miss those days.
Greatest punk rock song.

1:14. References Eddie and the jugular vein. The second Eddie reference is changed probably to honor another friend.

Allen Lainer on keys....

Good and nice as always :-)
❤
I'm almost positive that's Blue Oyster Cult's Allen Lanier on keyboards.
It is. Lanier dated Patti Smith (although I believe they had broken up by 1981), so he was in with that group.
He said Tim Carroll band lol
Was that Terrell Winn on lead guitar? He's good!
yes.
