Was at their shows already 4 times, go there each time they are close to my town. Great music and energy and performance and i don't know what, just great!

Ska was a mixture of the swing and reggae cultures. like the guitar and vocals came from most of the reggae culture. and The instrumentals came from swing. after teh third wave ska movement. punk started becoming incorporated with it. Which is why so many are all upbeat and what not now a days lol. Ska is Amazing! :)

It's great to see Tyler Jones and Chris Rhodes on stage together. For those who didn't know, Tyler and Chris were both in Spring Heeled Jack USA with JR from Less Than Jake filling out their horn section. When the band broke up... they each respectively went to RBF, the Bosstones, and LTJ. This was during the same warped tour that the Bosstones were busy supporting the release of their "final" studio album, A Jackknife to a Swan.

These guys will rock at Warped Tour this year. Seen them a bunch in concert so awesome!

Just saw these guys play live.... never been better

i saw them today amazazing by far best ska band ever yes we are always this amazing

They are coming to my city on May!!!! SO GLAD FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

geez this brings back great memories of high school :)

great song. even better band. real big fish is my favorite band

I love this song.

This line up was the best.

Ska started Reggae. Although in the 60s Ska sounded nothing like this and it was basically about being somebody when you're no one. it eventually became the father of the genres Rock Steady and Reggae.

They are the most well rehearsed band i've ever seen live. Love them!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey...Reggae started in the summer heat-wave of 1967 when dance clubs in Jamaica slowed the ska down so people would actually dance...

Looking forward to thw gig in Boro next year. My one year old loves this song.... She goes crazy for it

LOVE the FISH!! i wish they would come to my town a little place known as Dubuque,IA! I'd SKIP work to see them and i DO MEAN IT!!

they are amazing and pure geniuses!

He is such an amazing singer~ RBF =

seein them on 24th i think is gonna rock!

wow, these guys are good. first time ive heard them.

by far my favorit real big fish song

I wish these guys would come to Austin. These guys have so much talent, it's a miracle they aren't mainstream yet. I don't want them to be thrown into that mix right away.... it would take away from their indy clout.

i went to the 2002 in vancouver too...loved those times with so many great bands.....

Ska is a mix of reggae and punk rock. Reggae happened much earlier.

YES. I TOUCHED THOSE BURNS.

This is off their live album "Our Live Album Is Better Then Your Live Album" Best sstuff I've heard in my life!

Great song!!

ska is a Music Direction like rock, hip hop, etc... and this song is ska ;-)

Going to see them in London in January!!

Ska+Reggea... nice!!

If I was at this show I would have started a skanking mosh pit.

1:40 take a look at the horn players. They seem to love what they do. Sooooooo cooooooollll!

seeing them on the 12th.. thats gonna be sick!

You might be right if you weren't wrong. Ska is a product of the 50s, reggae didn't come around until the 60s. That's why ska's considered to be the 'grandfather of reggae music'. Also it originated as a take on Blues (not swing) but quickly became its own genre. Oh, and the punk started getting mixed in during the second wave, not third.

Saw these guys at Beautiful days this year. Needless to say, they are AWESOME! My favourite part was the blues ending of all the songs :P

kick ass song i love them and the song cant wait for warped

OHHH...I'D LIKE TO SAY THIS TO HIM!!! great song =D

not just any old DOA game, it was a track to the first extreeme beach game. lol that game was perveted and fun ^_^

Awesome song! Oh and btw Happy newyear everyone!^^

gonna see them tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ska = feel good music :)

offft i love this song

Song of my damn life!

amazing video

AHHH AARON BARRETT! I finally realized what about them it is that I love so fucking much. It's that, as AMAZING as the songs are on the regular CD, they're 500X BETTER live. Even the live album is fucking FANTASTIC. And I want to touch Aaron's burns.

AMAZING!!

I sooooooooo want to be in a ska band :)

I have always wanted to see these guys live, but I would have prefered to see the original lineup.

Thats one REEL BIG FISH

the timeline went ska - rock steady - reggae

RBF still doing their thing...i filmed a bunch of their shows back in '96-'97. I just put them all on DVD. I've got a bunch of old shows, tv clips and interviews from '96-'98, plus tons of other ska shows on my site. email me for info.

DOA beach vollyball man what a wkd song and game :P

it doesnt matter where ska comes from. Ska is only awesome.

aaron barrett is soooo good at guitar! AND NOBODY KNOWS IT!

that's such a lie! i saw them as well. they were full of energy and a great opener to reel big fish. i met all of them, nice guys.

amazing songg

Awesome

LOL. Oh, Spotify owns my soul!

See, RBF is so awesome people crowd surf BEFORE their songs

Well said dude

Yeah. I agree. A lot of punk influence sure (don't know if I'd MORE THAN ANYTHING though. But you're still right). 3rd Wave and 2nd wave are both tons of fun. This is 3rd.

I dunno which bands exactly started but there just was a punk influence for a lot of the bands. You can notice some in Specials songs, Bad Manners, English Beat for sure, hell maybe even Madness a little

@MissHingu Yeah, about the same here. Random loner guy that likes random ska, punk, hardcore, metal, etc etc etc...I legitimately listen to everything; my 1,100 hour playlist backs me up on that.

i'm going in february :) in my favorite club :D. aaron barrett is just about as fucking awesome badass as it gets.

song kicks so much ass !

RBF, chicago, november 15th, house of blues, 7 days after im free of the army...be there or not be there its up to you....ill be there...where will you be?

@luravi i know right? its now like candy to me when i hear a good brass instrument especially the saxophone.

@luravi I know! THese guys are LEGENDARY!

I remember this song from dead or alive extreme beach volly ball :3 (looking back that game wasn't as extreme was they tried to make it :/)

Lulz... I skanked with a girl who would later become my girlfriend to this song... her boyfriend got really pissed off and left. Thank you RBF! XD

@SuperImanasshole i'm goin on Sunday to warped tour!!!!! they're definitely on my list!!!!

No worries. Seriously. 100% understandable.

tony tornado!!

The 90's anyone?

siiick

wats a fkn great songg ah ah ah a hah a!!

ska is generally reggae influenced rock.

come visit the czech skafestival Mighty sounds

Chris Rhodes, From the Bosstones and Spring Heeled Jack USA, Helping with the trombone in this vid

Warped Tour '02!! I was fucking there!!

siempre pienso lo mismo cuando veo videos asi

im down, drummer

That's Matt Wong you're talking about and he's an extremely good bass player. He plays well in this video just like in every live performance I've ever seen. Just because he doesn't have wild stage antics doesn't mean he has stage fright. Can you play a more solid bassline in a live performance than him? I highly doubt it.

Viva la Fish

This show was 10 years ago. ;_;

The bassist works at my school now!! I feel so cool jk jk jk. But seriously its kind of chill

love this song I just bought the live album and love it. also its kinda wierd to find that no one is being a youtube asshole and fighting on any reel big fish videos. anyways ska owns

@KrptkLzrd fuck yes im soooo keen for them!!!! im seeing them tomorrow at soundwave!!!

Ah,you're right,my bad.

@thairish13 I was there too! CIRCLE PIT!

Dude the guy in the green shirt looks like Adam D from Killswitch Engage.

@11Bomber29 They're about as mainstream as you can get, man. Third wave ska was pretty much popularized by Reel Big Fish and Mighty Mighty Bosstones back in the 90's. If there's some sarcasm in the post, please ignore me, if there's not, well, the post stands.

@reelBigSpic almost looks like lick too

@xXlukebaldwinXx i listen to ska when im: happy, sad, excited, depressed, bored, everything... :D

yea but I thought it was something else. Well thanks for the info

@luravi Take a look at a band called Superhiks, they have an awesome horn section. Reel big fish rules btw!

Grant Barry, good to see this lineup - almost the original, No tavis though:(

saw these dudes in orlando, fuckin sweet

i want your guitar to be my guitar...

I miss Matt Wong.
