before only lighters

The phones make concerts less fun.

Damn right - can't stand that shit - I just don't bring my phone to shows

Hardly one of the greats now fella.

Seriously just shut up

Right?!!?

Thanks.

Butterfly I Love this sound. Very good!!!

thx

Hell yes. Sing Backwards and Weep is thee best memoir I've ever had the pleasure to listen to (on Audible). Hearing the awesomeness of Mark's voice tell his amazing stories and experiences is just amazing. RIP Mark Lanegan ❤️🖤

Go the audio book

I read it. And heard him too reading. Not the audio. In my head.

I got a signed copy of it,my most prized possession. ❤

Love how Josh carried a flick knife around in his back pocket while on tour with the Trees!

No, he is not in a better place.

Those huge tama Tom's really sounded enormous.

And louder and clearer than the Conner's and Lanegan ...🤣

@@Rippenhengst the sound you hear is not close to the sound in the room

Most explosive band I ever saw live.

I saw them on the dust tour at the off ramp in Seattle and it was killer. Ill never understand why he doesn't appreciate the work in the trees it was classic rock made in the 90s. So damn good

Soooooo jealous

@@handwiredbyme from reading his book he didn’t like the 80’s trees stuff, ‘pretentious psychedelic music’ whereas he liked the 90’s trees music as he had a bigger part in creating it.

@@miguelramalho8792 yeah good point your right i got the book too and that is true. Some of buzz factory is good. Lee wrote pretty good tunes. Mark bags on his tone. I think Lee was great. Too bad Mark can't forgive some of the stuff from the early days. They were all kids and man he really hates on the guy

@@miguelramalho8792 dude chapter 40 was awesome

also read his book, and it's just crazy that he's alive. I felt it was even darker than Trainspotting (which of course is a work of fiction, Mark's is the real deal) . You can even see how his health declined from here to the Rockpalast show a few months after this. no idea how he made it out of 96-98 alive.

Read it it’s shit

@@infinite_vortex Bought it on audible.com and loved that he read the book. He put himself through unadulterated hell. It is a thousand wonders he is alive.

I know he had drug issues but what was his issue with the other bandmates

@@joshuafult84 He and Lee hate each other.

jim morrison would jump around like a freak. mark's presence is in his voice.

he was pretty lifeless at the start of this show.kind of painful to see and hear. shadow of the season - not having any fun. for folks who saw amazing trees shows between 88 and 90 it's sad to see how badly drugs had torn him apart. not fun at all. at least he survived. unlikely. rest of the band is on it at this show. eventually mark gets warmed up.

I was there too! Was reminiscing and found this video. So, yay.

@@johnybaltimore3687 and now he's gone

I was at this show too. Loved these guys. Saw them a few times - the first was as an opener in Ames, IA for fIREHOSE in the late 80s. R.I.P. Mark and Van.

Yet again...we lose another 😞

You know what Vera you're right... I've always loved the Screaming Trees but I just realized just now that it's because of his voice I don't think I would like them that much if it wasn't for him... did you know that I saw them a concert when I was in 7th grade with Matthew Sweet and cracker it was a big free outdoor concert and I got stoned as s*** before I went in and it was one of the best times I've ever had in my life because it was the last memory I've ever had of not caring whatsoever but what anybody thought about me because I was too young to know that it mattered... here's what's so cool about it just recently I got old enough to realize it never mattered.. good night

Definitely! One the best of the 90's for sure! Hell, for all time even!

He can't even keep time with the music.

@@aLadyKatey that’s personal opinion. There is plenty of great where music the singing isn’t in perfect cadence to the chord changes. It’s called personal style.

Totally agree with two perfect albums. I prefer Dust, but I've listened to both about a million times. Have several copies laying around because I can't help but to buy either any time I see them at thrift stores, etc

Which 2 albums?

@@jamesmason1347 sweet Oblivion and Dust

But they came out of ellensburg......

@@afatty322 No shit Sherlock, rather the scene than were they came from!!

@@afatty322 They all had moved there by 1990 so pre-Nirvana explosion

@@konstantinovkurt and chris played in his first solo Lp and kurt when asked always said to be a fan of screaming trees and by the hand of chris cornell went to live with mark when arriving at seatle and he was amazed by living with his idol ,mark lanegan also both did a lot of heroin ,just the drug that was fashion since the 80´s

Why not songs like witness, look at you , sworn n broken , more or less . They should ve done a mix Sweet Oblivion and dust . However its Great songs . Fan from Brazil

Agreed. Hell of a songwriter too. Double-threat.

Gary Lee Conner is one of my favorite guitar players ever dude :)

never saw gary lee drink a beer on stage

Was at that same gig at molsen park in barrie....i went with a guy who had access to the "molsen house"....as you know it was a festival.....neil young....oasis......the molsen house gave its occupants free beer....munchies etc....anyways i remember seeing van conner.....he was having a good time and was lucky enough to hang with him.......the trees were on very earl in relation to bands order to perform.....i love the screaming trees

Mark gets into that show in his book. He said that Van was so wasted in the bus on the way up and at the show. There's a couple of really interesting stories.

@@sydbarrett9762 Yes sir! The lineup also included The Gin Blossoms and Jewel. The Screaming Trees were the 2nd act early in the afternoon.

Pan0sGr both of them are even too good to be called hidden gems.

Greatest voice - absolutely love Lanegan's voice - I also play guitar and sing - also write very melancholic songs - my voice is also thrashed from years of partying - wish my voice sounded like his tho - I just sound like I gargled razor blade chips for breakfast - can't quite find the note sometimes lol

Agree, he still being able to single is almost a miracle.....

this made me sad :(

Yes! Extra haunting feedback intro!

I totally know what you mean about Soundgarden man. People had to be there

Chile Sucks !

@@zELk77 You too my dude ☺

Greetings from Greece

@Heat seeker Aguanteeeeeeeee

Read Marks book and you'll know that is highly unlikely

@@warborn_inc. I wonder why Mark is such a dickhead to both Conner brothers.

@@davidleewrath6919 in fairness, reading his book, he seems have more beef with Lee than Van. Mainly it seems over his onstage persona and his control over writing the music for the Trees. Although Lanegan admits he’s just as much at fault for being a massive junkie through the entirety of the band’s lifespan.

@@Bellocks1 Yes. I read an interview where he said Van wanted to cause him physical harm after reading part of the book, while Lee was more perplexed than anything else. Anyhow, someone had to man the ship if the leading man was enslaved to the needle.

@@davidleewrath6919 I don’t think either of the Connor brothers are bad folks. It was just the whirlwind of a small amount of fame, Lanegan’s drug use, Lee’s seriousness and the fact they never truly got on from the very beginning. I don’t think Lee is as much of a dick as Mark makes him out to be. He goes wild onstage sure, but even if you go check out his YT channel now, he seems like a pretty good guitarist, and overall a decent guy. But man, Lanegan’s relentless about him in his book.

He was very rough on his body til he cleaned up! Now he’s about 56 and though he looks rough, he looks happy. Been clean for a long time. I’m glad he’s making a living being a musician. It’s a shame he hasn’t gotten rich so he doesn’t HAVE to constantly tour to support himself. Covid has wrecked so many musicians lives it’s depressing.

@@J_Trask It has taken him today. May he live forever in his art.

I agree!

Those are "Star" tatoos.

Mark's band seems to be doing pretty well right now, but I'd love to see that too. Cheers!

Take that up with Mark Lanegan.

Read Marks book and you'll know a reunion will not likely happen ever

There will likely never be a Screaming Trees reunion because of the personal war that went on between Mark and Lee for years.Even after the rest of the band were given participation in the writing process(via the last two records)Mark was still just riding out his contract and getting his artistic fullfllment from his solo records.Read "Sing Backwards and Weep" Mark's memoir and you will understand the reasons why a reunion is very unlikely.

Yes please🙏 i want to see them playing in my country

Yuk yuk

Worth a lot more now than whatever your "BIL" did with Mark's stuff. His (and our) loss.

Gary Lee Conner is looking for anything mark had in that storage unit.

No, Josh Homme was a friend and was just brought onboard as a rhythm guitarist for this tour, to flesh out the sound.

it was first ave

701 N 1st Ave. Minneapolis MN😊

@billieolsen4088 hahaha yes. I see how my question could be interpreted in multiple ways :D. I would have loved to have seen them. haven't been to 1st Ave in awhile.

@@billieolsen4088 😀

Mourning Kurt Cobain, Kristin Pfaff, Jeffrey Lee Peirce and a ton of other people he was close to
