I just wanted to come here to lament the loss of all the fun "bonus" banter from the end of Rock Spectacle as it appears on streaming services.
What did we do to lose the banter?
I’ve had discussions about them in a lot of other music subreddits, as well as Album of The Year, and there seems to be a LOT of people who see the Steve era especially as something “cringe” and “cloying” and “insincere”.
Why do you think this is? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to find tracks like Call & Answer, What a Good Boy, War On Drugs, Stomach Vs. Heart, Brian Wilson, so on so on, that prove this assumption wrong.
For example, there’s this article: https://www.stereogum.com/2190488/the-number-ones-barenaked-ladies-one-week/columns/the-number-ones/
and this one: https://horriblemusic.miraheze.org/wiki/One_Week
and this imgur gallery I created to hold a few other examples: https://imgur.com/a/Jledbax

🎸 Barenaked Ladies at Red Rocks, Monday, August 17! 🎸
I have two Barenaked Ladies Gold VIP Package tickets for Monday night at Red Rocks that I can no longer use, and I'd love to see them go to a fellow BNL fan.
This isn't just a concert ticket. The Gold VIP Package includes:
🎟️ Premium reserved ticket - Row 11
🤝 Meet & Greet with Barenaked Ladies + photo with the band
🎶 Pre-show soundcheck viewing access
🎁 Exclusive VIP merch package
🏷️ Commemorative VIP laminate
Selling for exactly what I paid, with ZERO markup. $580/each. I'm just trying to get these into the hands of someone who will enjoy the experience.
⚠️ Important: VIP check-in requires arrival at the venue by 2:30 PM.
If you're a Barenaked Ladies fan and want to make Monday night at Red Rocks a pretty awesome one. Reply to this post with "DM", then send me a DM. 🎤
Found this recently and thought it'd be worth sharing. The photo is still newspaper quality and a bit cropped on the top and bottom, but it's still a big improvement on the photo that was used on the cassette. Article is from the November 24, 1989 issue sourced from newspapers.com.
Going to Train and BNL tonight in STL. Been a BNL fan for almost 30 years.
First time I’m seeing Train, but I’ve seen BNL 3 times before. First time was in 2004 with Alanis soooo I tracked down that tour shirt for tonight’s concert. So pumped.
This week, Tyler is hosting a takeover on the @52Drummers Instagram account.
So if you have any questions for him, if you enjoy drum chat, or if you just want to see some behind the scenes footage from the current US tour, check it out!
Does anyone happen to have video from Lovin’ Life in Madison when Ed shouted out the guy that beat colon cancer?
That was my husband. BNL is his favorite band and I got him the M&G so he could thank them.
He had just put the phone down from recording when he shouted him out and I’d love to surprise him with the video of it.
Please message me if you do and you’d be my hero!
