I work on the show and have done for 17 years and was about 10 foot away, this is still one of the best performances I’ve ever seen on it! It fucking rocks!
Saw him live in The Ruby Lounge in Manchester..... Absolutely incredible! Kiwi wife dragged me there during a very difficult period of my life and the gig was incredible. Just no other words
I still think this is one of the greatest live performances. I remember watching this in 2008 and being like WHOAH. 11 years on and I still haven't closed my gob.
I've just found this - in 2020 ! So amazing. Massive Neil and Tim Finn fan over the years. But this blew me away - great lyrics, great guitar, and the drumming - well what can I say ! Just amazingggg !!! The passion in Liam comes through - I love it ! x
I went to every Liam show in Boston for years and hung out with Elroy and EJ for a spell (a story that is private! nerds) but every show was impeccible. This performance is incredible! Liam is such a phenomenal songwriter. He also makes the best performances. I love this video!
One of New Zealand's most authentic musicians. Keep up the good work Liam! Really enjoy the thought and care put into his music. I also want to say that I am tired of the hypocritical mainstream attitude of Zealand musicians mimicking American musicians but hating Americans despite ripping-off their music and lyrics. I give credit to people like Liam who do not do this type of shit! And who can dive deep into his own roots producing something that has its own quality. Thank you!
Saw them do this live in other voices St James Church Dingle absolutely savage !!! Back in 98 I was invited to my cousins house for lunch and I was 16 and too cool for my relations ... little did I know Neil and Liam were staying with them still a huge regret of my life !!!!!!
Amazing performance!! This dude is awesome. I wasn't expecting his bearded folksinger-kind of look, though! So different from his dad's innocent boy-next-door thing in the '80s.
@yuppy64 Agreed - I first heard the studio version of this song and was reminded a bit too much of Jake from the Scissor Sisters (he's got to stop that falsetto). But Liam's falsetto is much lower, and not annoying, and at least imbued with some emotion.
Loovvee this! Only took me 2 years to find it :) I looked everywhere for it after it was aired but couldn't find it. Ahh well :) Does anyone know the band at 3:39 the lead looks familiar but I can't place him. Thanks :) xo
@InvisibleGuitarisst Iffin you like the use of loop pedals. . . you should check out a cat called Dub FX. . . He is actually a beat boxer who layers everything live on the spot with loop pedals. . . Pretty sick stuff. . . watch?v=Gc67C94wSx0
@anglinthemtns At first I didn't like Liam because from the limited exposure I had to him at the time he seemed to be all falsetto and I didn't like that, then I saw this and grew up a little bit at the same time and am so proud of him.
I work on the show and have done for 17 years and was about 10 foot away, this is still one of the best performances I’ve ever seen on it! It fucking rocks!
I keep coming back here to see this. I can only image how it was on the night. Was it one take?

@@paulm4652I hope things are going better for you today.

Shot my Bro
It's really f*cking good. I feel exactly the same.
I could watch this all day.
It still makes me smile this performance and I saw it when it was first broadcast. The passion in this guy is remarkable.
H
Shot my Bro
quite possibly the best live performance i have ever seen on later with jools holland. BRILLIANT.
One of the most amazing performances on the show ever!
love this song,so dramatic,compassionate,compiled so well through the loop system.perfect
The amazingly talented woman on the stage whom everybody forgot to mention is Eliza Jane Barnes
Also from a musical family :)
That's Jimmy Barne's daughter
Come on audience -- go properly crazy! You've just seen one of the all-time great performances.
That perfomance was the reason i went and brought liams album.......
I could watch this over and over, and very often do. A mesmerising performance from both of them
I've just found this - in 2020 ! So amazing. Massive Neil and Tim Finn fan over the years. But this blew me away - great lyrics, great guitar, and the drumming - well what can I say ! Just amazingggg !!! The passion in Liam comes through - I love it ! x
Love the progression of more instruments being added then the awesome drum beats at the end
I played this for my friend and I said,"what for it...what for it"
I went to every Liam show in Boston for years and hung out with Elroy and EJ for a spell (a story that is private! nerds) but every show was impeccible. This performance is incredible! Liam is such a phenomenal songwriter. He also makes the best performances. I love this video!
this is so awesome. he really is underrated in nz, i have watched different versions of this performance for ages and will continue to.
Now, in 2022, this is still awesome 🔥🔥🔥
this video deserves a million views... simple as that
yeah i never heard of him before i saw this performance and i was absolutely blown away.
man this was such a good performance, brilliant artist.
FANTASTIC! just descovered at Pearl Jam's concert in Perth yesterday night! wonderful live!!!

I agree.
Liam has music in his blood.
That was dope
Mindblowingly Amazing Performance. Wonderful!!!!!!
Sick musician...saw liam supportin the blacks keys in 2009
I've seen them open for Eddie twice...being there is even better. They are amazing, amazing musicians!
liam, you're the man. one of the best musicians of my generation.
Saw him in Scarborough last night awesome performance well done liam finn
Saw them do this live in other voices St James Church Dingle absolutely savage !!! Back in 98 I was invited to my cousins house for lunch and I was 16 and too cool for my relations ... little did I know Neil and Liam were staying with them still a huge regret of my life !!!!!!
Its such great vibe too it.Great sound
"Brilliant"would be a bit of an understatement to describe this man!
Goosebumps
SOOOOOO GOOOOD!
I can't believe this is the shy 16 year-old I saw perform with his dad years ago at a Neil Finn solo gig! Brilliant!!!
Seen this guy November 08 in queens hall, Edinburgh supporting the black keys. Amazing....
Top 50 all time live videos!
this performance (and track) is rockin'!!
Jeez - That's INCREDIBLE
MARAVILHA !!!!
Beautiful song indeed!

Nice way to put it. Music like this makes me proud to be a kiwi
Namaste, Lian. 🔥
okay, he is great and the song perfect, but it is she who makes this video even better
been looking for musicians that use a loop pedal, this is amazing
I wish I was a fan when I saw him open of for eddie vedder (twice). incredible dude.. PJ/Ed ALWAYS gets great openers.
Full-fat fucking excellent!
2024✌️
elevadísimo
Five people dislike the colour of his shirt presumably?
I don't know which performance is better: This or Letterman. Either way, they're both brilliant. Thanks for posting this!
Such a Anzac tribute. Only on jools
Henry!!!!!!!!!!!
Passion
Fuckn awesome!
Underrated
Not sure if you'll get this, or if anyone has already replied, but the chap at 3:39 is Ed Harcourt! He's great too.
Amazing performance!! This dude is awesome. I wasn't expecting his bearded folksinger-kind of look, though! So different from his dad's innocent boy-next-door thing in the '80s.
(Rhymes with 'sit')... a brick!! Holy smokes
@mcphert1 Dude! You should have seem them at truck festival, it was nothing short of epic!!!
Maybe it's in the water over there, or maybe it's in his blood. Either way Liam is brilliant. I never tire of watching him and EJ play this song.
looks like dad alot!
I was like- huh, it's an OK representation until like 3mins in. Then I was like OHMYLORDYES
@yuppy64 Agreed - I first heard the studio version of this song and was reminded a bit too much of Jake from the Scissor Sisters (he's got to stop that falsetto). But Liam's falsetto is much lower, and not annoying, and at least imbued with some emotion.
and the dude to the right if Dave Rosser who plays with Gutter Twins/Twilight Singers/Afghan Whigs
@Lodovicok92 Looks like he's using a Line 6 DL-4
amazing! better than the Letterman version I think.
@wadatdatdat sweet
@11rabbitz They have a late Night Version where all the bands do at least 2/3 songs. Unless it's Paul McCartney. He gets about 5!
Inspires me to grab the Gtar and make music!
this shit is fucking amazing
does anyone have any idea what kind of pedal he stepped on when he goes into the bassline at 1:38 ?
Live multi-instrumentalists with loop pedals fascinate me.
I'll tire of them eventually, but for now - great.
yeah at some point you'll need a higher level of talent that you will never be able to do to entertain yourself
Liam Finn bate o tiro de meta, corre, cruza a bola, corre de novo pra cabecear, e gol! (em termos musicais :-) )
Loovvee this! Only took me 2 years to find it :) I looked everywhere for it after it was aired but couldn't find it. Ahh well :)
Does anyone know the band at 3:39 the lead looks familiar but I can't place him.
Thanks :)
xo
Fuckin superb. He loses timing on the drums a bit at the end, but it's such a superb performance you can forgive him.
Fucking mint
this is insane....
WHAT PEDAL DOES HE USE TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A BASS!!!!
Such a small man with such a big beard and musical talent.
Its an octave pedal :)
Amazing. How did gangdam style get a billion views and this one hundred thousand- there is no justice in this world.
this video has no dancing.
Watch out there Liam, you nearly fell off the Drum kit. Quite a lot of energy spilling out of the rotor blades even after the music stops!
@InvisibleGuitarisst Iffin you like the use of loop pedals. . . you should check out a cat called Dub FX. . . He is actually a beat boxer who layers everything live on the spot with loop pedals. . . Pretty sick stuff. . . watch?v=Gc67C94wSx0

Callum Whats up
Wow, Liam is very much like his Uncle Tim...

Does anyone know who the female is?
Eliza-Jane Barnes
sonshesaid cheers love this brilliant song
I only replied coz you have great taste mate :) its an all time fav of mine
is it just me or does his drum fills sound super choppy?
