Hahaha I still remember blasting through the back fields in a 1986 Ford Tempo, as child, with the song just blasting from the radio.... oh how I miss the 90s haha
If you are any semblance of a musician, you realize just how cool this song is. Everyone in this one is rockin' hard. "This band kicks ass, I'll tell you what." ~ Hank Hill
@@xRickAstleyx sorry if you compare this to the recording... you would see that the vocals are not the same... if you can't hear it in your head...play the cd release along with this performance and you will see what parts he sings differently.. perhaps he did this just to prove guys thinking like you in error..
I'm lucky to live in a place where it was so popular when it came it out that it is still on the playlist of the major rock station and the "adult hits" station.
Thanks for uploading this video. For anyone else who may not know- this incredible band is still playing and always touring hard. "Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers" is the new name--- Independent now (that's why they aren't on the radio)--- and still put out great sound and put out a great, energy filled show also... fyi
+jammin jimmy You're quite welcome. Also, nice of you to help inform fans that the principals are still active, so they can go out and support them :) Thanks for the note of appreciation!
@@cellardoor199991 "They wrote theme to "King of the Hill" show" sorry this response is so late.... Yes you are correct.... a lot of people don't know that about them.. perhaps astute listeners. .MAY catch the same kind of lead guitar work.. later in the theme song.. but only the astute listeners..
Brian Blush is one of those guys like Mark Knopfler where I’m like, ‘oh come on, how the hell do you get your guitar to sound like that?’ Such a creamy tone. Sounds awesome!
As a drummer myself, I can totally appreciate the awesomeness of the rhythm section. That drummer is absolutely killing it. This is NOT an easy song to play the right way. Very talented dude behind the kit!
Totally agree! I'm learning this song for a cover band, and the little nuances in the drum parts are neither predictable or easy to remember. I had to watch this video to get the hi hat breaks in the chorus placed right where they belong. This one will keep you on your toes for sure.
I don't even play the drums but I can tell you this drummer in nothing short of incredible! I've been fortunate enough to see him play live numerous times and he plays like none other...and on a minimal kit!
Straight up dead ass tight “ live” performance! All comments here are correct, the fact is EVERY player in this band is a total pro. As all bands from the Superb/ small/ thriving almost secret Tempe Az at this special time ( 88-98, peak 90-95) The Refreshments practiced their ass off, and also gigged several nights a week. This performance where not a single note, chord, or beat is missed, was the norm. The only time this band ever faltered was when Rog ( singer/rhythm guitar) got too jacked up and broke a string on his Strat! Sometimes that happened a few times a night. lol Especially after Dead Hot Workshop opened for them!
Just a great performance of a great song. This tune really captures that mid-90s post-grunge vibe and defines the time period, IMHO. The whole album this song comes from is a hidden gem, check it out.
Never mind me .. just sitting here in my parking space for 3 hours in 2021.. watching the baddest band ever vid after vid … and smiling ear to ear at all the memories flooding back! they ALWAYS do this to me!!it’s like cracking open ur memory when u hear them I swear .. emotions happiness the rush of good friend and great times! BOOM ur right back in it when u hear them ❤️🔥 PHOENIX AZ 1996! Can almost smell the hot asphalt right now from 1400 miles away!! Thats how u know this band is LEGEND!!! Rock on fellas!
I miss those days so BADLY!! I was living in Tempe, and remember when these guys were just local ASU students. Mill Ave, ASU, Tempe, cruising the warm streets at night. So fun to be living back then. I still count it a great privilege to have lived in Tempe, and see these guys play live where the Tempe Town Lake is flowing now. Thanks for sharing this video!!
@@johnk7267 naw, I get what he's saying... today's "musicians" are more along the lines of "sound engineers", in that, they sample and mix, versus actually creating music. Ofcourse a musician plays an instrument. What else would they play? A keyboard? ;)
I can honestly say.. that these guys are one group that sounds just as good ..Live as they do on their recordings... many groups don't but these guys SURE do...
My wife and I have been fortunate enough to share the stage with the amazing Brian Blush a few times when he used to perform nightly at a small Restaurant & Bar in Gatlinburg, TN. Great times we'll always remember!

And the Beavis & Butthead theme. The lead singer has a band now, "Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers" and they're pretty damned good. "Americano" is a great song; so's "God Gave Me A Gun" and a bunch of others.
Tom Petty had Mike Campell....Roger Clyne had Brian Blush. Love that quote from the documentary! Saw these guys last summer in Philly as the Peacemakers......one of the best concerts I've been to in a looong time!!!!
This is my all time favorite song. Y'all are amazing live. I was in a small band playing bass with a group of military guys that were stationed in Naples, Italy and this song was so much fun to play. Got to play it in the small base club and it's still a great memory with all the energy we put behind it.
love this song so much...i remember hearing it on the radio a few times but could never figure out the name of the song or the artist...i was so delighted once i finally learned it a few years later thank you internet
Best bar band song ever and my bar band played it every gig. And always got girls dancing and guys buying drinks, which is what bar bands are paid to do.
Completely forgot about these guys, I was 16 when this came out. I was listening to the 90's nooner and cranked it. Had to look them up, forgot about this hit.
Great song and performance. Love how they bring the dynamics down just a bit during the chorus. Got this album on vinyl, solid all the way through. Man, I miss the post grunge era of the 90's. Not enough are still rocking this hard anymore. Guitar onslaught. Maybe Collective Soul should cover this, or tour with Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
this guy opened at EDEN FEST IN THE G.T.A WAY BACK !! BEST CONCERT EVER ? EVERCLEAR OPENED WITH A ACDC TUNE ? SO COOL !!! 👍👍👍THIS GUY STARTED THAT CONCERT!!
I remember cranking up the radio when hearing this song in the late '90s as I drove home from work late at night. Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy? Sounds a bit like Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy. Never heard of that? Look it up.
Did not discover this band till the later 2000’s when some guy at the beach at the campground we were at had this big speaker box hooked up to a car battery and this song came on and I turned to a friend and asked him who is this? And he says don’t know but they are pretty fucking good. Well got home from camping and me and ITunes were busy for awhile. Wish I would have saw them live. It’s always the most underrated bands you catch up to later.
I was a junior in HS when this came out and remember liking the song but I sort of forgot about them. Heard this song on the radio the other day and I was like "oh yeah, I remember this!" so had to come find a live version...wasn't disappointed. The 90's were pretty rad. Everything since then has pretty much sucked.
I should have checked out more late night talk shows. Beastie Boys (Sabotage), Ann/Nancy Wilson with the Foo Fighters (Kick it Out) on Letterman and this absolute beaut on Conan are some ridiculously insane live performances.
It should be illegal for a band to sound this perfect live. Unreal. One of my all time favorite songs. Love it!!
What an incredible performance! These guys never got the fame and recognition they truly deserved.
its lip synched lol
@@xRickAstleyx its not lol
True, but they have a massive following none the less.
I agree!!..
@@xRickAstleyx lip synched? joking.,. right? cuz.. there were parts He did NOT sing just like the recording.. I'm guessing you knew that...
Man, the industry sucks because Roger is a helluva performer and songwriter. This is a truly perfect rock song.
I know, this should’ve been the power anthem of the 90s‼️
It was for a lot of us
This still finds its way into playlist quite often...
you spelled generic wrong.
@@David_Downs lol complete opposite of generic..... maybe you could say Jimmy Buffet sounds like them, but outside of him, no one sounds like them.
This band and particularly this album were so underrated.
right! this whole album is GOLD!!
You got that right brutha. I was in a period where I was buying shit I'd never heard before and I was blown away by most of it including these cats.
The lead guitarist's tone and style are perfect for this song.
Brian Blush
That's Brian Blush. He defined that era.
I know it is kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released series online?
@Jakob Jaxtyn lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it :)
That guitarist has a killer tone.
This entire album is absolute 🔥
The weakest song on the album is Carefree and it’s better than anything put out today. Roger is an amazing song writer.
Two epic albums, I do prefer "The Bottle and Fresh horses" i think. Man, Carefree is a great tune!
Hard to believe this song is 23 years old. Still love it!
Hahaha I still remember blasting through the back fields in a 1986 Ford Tempo, as child, with the song just blasting from the radio.... oh how I miss the 90s haha
27 years and 8 months now 😢

This song never gets radio time anymore. And it really should. Such a great song.
I heard it on Sirius and couldn't get it out of my head. I somehow missed out on this band in the 90s.
@@patrickholt4134 Me to I never heard them or did not notice till like 2008.

"Creamy tone"...perfect adjective for that. Spot on. Brian Blush absolutely killed it in the Refreshments.
As a drummer myself, I can totally appreciate the awesomeness of the rhythm section. That drummer is absolutely killing it. This is NOT an easy song to play the right way. Very talented dude behind the kit!
Ghost Notes I crank this album in headphones a couple times a month and the playing is just superb!
If the Replacements has had chops!

P.H. is absolutely one of the best drummers I've ever seen, heard, or met! Damn nice human, too!
played with these guys at SXSW in 1995...they were GREAT...bassist had maybe the greatest stage vibe/moves ever
Is it the Guitbass god himself?
POTUSA- you guys were pretty fucking awesome yourselves.
Fuk yeah. He Shreds

One of the most underrated bands of the 90's!
Man, I loved this song. Amazing performance.
Remember when musicians knew how to play instruments?
When a band can perform like what you see right here, it's known as "tearing it the fuck up".
dammit bobby
Musicians still play instruments. Enjoy your low-effort clickbait updoots though.
Um pretty sure the vast majority of musicians still play instruments
@@johnk7267 naw, I get what he's saying... today's "musicians" are more along the lines of "sound engineers", in that, they sample and mix, versus actually creating music.
Ofcourse a musician plays an instrument. What else would they play? A keyboard? ;)
Underrated to the fucking MAXIMUM amount. Like god damn, that solo.
I can honestly say.. that these guys are one group that sounds just as good ..Live as they do on their recordings... many groups don't but these guys SURE do...
Awesome band. Still listening in 2021 😎
My wife and I have been fortunate enough to share the stage with the amazing Brian Blush a few times when he used to perform nightly at a small Restaurant & Bar in Gatlinburg, TN. Great times we'll always remember!
Mildly successful? This song is and was awesome!!
that Les Paul sounds glassy af and kudos to the soundman on this one!
One of the greatest one hits of all time.
I loved this song when I was 15. Shit its still good.
I get so nostalgic when I see Conan clips! So many great acts like these guys. 🎉 sounds like the album cut
I listen to these guys a remember the fun time living on my own
STILL....one of my favorite songs of all time. Gracias amigos...that seems fair...😎
BEST ROAD TRIP SONG EVER!!!
Great performance! I like when Conan likes the band too haha
Brian Blush has the best guitar tone EVER!
Jim Dalton is by far the best guitarist Roger Clyne has ever had.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leland Orten Blush buries him!
You must have only heard 2 guitarists in your life.
Fun fact: these are the guys that did the King of the Hill theme
Fun fact: this is one of the most underrated bands

That song is called "Yahoos and Triangles".
And the Beavis & Butthead theme.

use to love watching the bands performing on Conan......miss the 90s so much..... love these guys
I'm afraid that there's not going to be bands like there was in the 90's, miss this kind of music.
These guys still play! Roger and PH, at least. They're called Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, and they put on one of the best live shows out there.
I’m so glad I grew up in Tempe AZ at the the right time 💜

That was freaking awesome!! Can’t believe I’ve never seen this video - Here’s to Life!!
Who in their right mind would downvote this? Awesome performance of an awesome tune
Dude, the lead tone on that Gibson is so incredible! Sounds as good as the Album version.
This song was on the radio constantly in the summer of '96.
Had the pleasure of seeing these guys start on Mill Ave. Living in Tempe... could see them 4 nights a week.
James, brings back a lot of great memories!! I was in Tempe as well, and I’m thankful to this day that I had the privilege of seeing them.
Still on my favorites play list in 2023!
This band was so good still listening to there albums
Friggin love this song!
love this song so much...i remember hearing it on the radio a few times but could never figure out the name of the song or the artist...i was so delighted once i finally learned it a few years later thank you internet
The 90s had such great music. The last 20 years were a let down
Luv seeing this old video of Roger. His band The Mortals played my college graduation.
Best bar band song ever and my bar band played it every gig. And always got girls dancing and guys buying drinks, which is what bar bands are paid to do.
First CD I ever bought. I was maybe 13 or so. God works in mysterious ways
Completely forgot about these guys, I was 16 when this came out. I was listening to the 90's nooner and cranked it. Had to look them up, forgot about this hit.
Saw this band open for Dishwalla in DC...they crushed it...
Man!!! Wore my 1st cd of this out had to buy a 2and
Soo good saw them live twice before they broke up nice to know they're back together.
They put on an incredible live show, and they play a lot of songs from Fizzy Fuzzy still. Totally worth seeing if you get the chance
Such a fabulous tune
Great road-tripping album!
YES! That tape always got played when I drove home on 4-day weekends,
That is tight as f*ck! A perfect tune and a great arrangement, played so well live.
Such a cool ass song...

Who in Hell thumbed this down?
Singer did a great job. Started off hella-nervous but pulled it off well. Tasty lick.
I love this song
Right!??!!
Jesus they were tight!
Why isn't music these days blowing Carson Daly as hard as these guys, I want more shit like this. 90s was my balls, and they are huge.
One of my fav albums from the 90s
Great album. Not a bad track on it. Got a lot of airplay in the 90s. Worth the download
Love these guys
Glad I stumbled on this. Cool song. The lead guitarist is very good.
superb music, superb riff
Best song ever.
