I’m 45 years old. And still fucking miss this band.

[BURN-sm]

This song literally changed my life. I thank you, whoever you are, that this happened.

[tstewart]

Still, to this day, one of my favorite bands ever. Everything they put out was pure gold.

[newchainssameshackles]

Who else is approaching or already at 40 in this comment section? This band will never get old though!

[PrototheDodo]

Loved the bassists interaction with that one dude. Thats band & audience intimacy right there

[bryanddd]

Such a powerful song..one of the soundtrack songs to my youth. I will always have a spot for this track.

[johanandersson]

Now this is a hit song if i'd ever heard one...
According to wikipedia they were on the brink of signing major and perhaps getting a big break-through when they dissolved the group.
Kinda' glad they did, cause' it makes it more special.

I saw them live in the 90's and actually interviewed the guitarist on the left.
Very polite, friendly and down to earth guy.

I've watched this 5 times in a row now and it doesnt get any better than this.Pure quality.

Love the intro talk too.
"Lets see if we could dance to this one...".
Well...
❤❤❤

I’m 41 now, I got this cd, and alkaline trio’s goddamnit for my 18th birthday. Still 2 of my favorite albums ever

[joeyatkins]

God such a special band, at a special time, with special songs that will live with me till the day I die .

[briankuczenski]

Just so grateful I had the chance to see them before they broke up. With the promise ring too!!! One of my favorite show memories of all time and that is saying a lot considering how many shows I've seen in my time on this planet.

[Super-idbq]

Shout out to every single man and woman at Notts Rock City who would all dance in exactly the same way whenever they heard the drum break kick in.

[DerekHafer]

Garrett is a genius songwriter. Solea, Atlantic/ Pacific, TITR... All straight FIRE!

[wesebeling]

Love that last, driving breakdown. Such a great song. Such an amazing band.

[itsmysniff]

Yep Travis, still a favorite in 2020. Hate I missed them in '98. Hari bol.

[kevinw]

I missed this band. Never knew they existed. A couple years ago saw a documentary and they were a small part of it. So I decided to have a listen. HOLY FUCK, what the hell did we miss? ONE album? Their album Do You Know Who You Are is easily among my all time top 10 albums. I read their story and they didn't want that. Still, what an absolutely mesmerizing band. I don't go too many days without hitting up this song or Johnny On the Spot or something. WEEP for lost glory. These guys coulda gone far.

[bernamtr]

This band really reminds me my teenie years, , I still enjoy so much these songs

[j.a.rodriguez]

Great fucking band, still holds up after all these years

[takinsa]

Best song ever! Cheers from Bulgaria!

[yourfavoriteweapon]

[martech]

one of my favorite tunes....love those guys
