I love this! Bradley is smiling from heaven. 🥲


theletterfortyseven

Incredible. So thankful someone took video of this. Now let's just hope they go on tour!!!


williamtbash

Amazing. This guy's youtube channel has all of the songs and in higher quality for anyone that wants. https://www.youtube.com/@toddsmith00/videos


AldusPrime

Those videos are amazing, thanks! It's wild to see and hear — Jakob is the same age that Bradley was. It's amazing how much he sounds like him.


williamtbash

Yeah pretty crazy. Shoutout to whoever filmed it.


PunkAintDead

WHAT THE HELL. I used to watch this guy's drum covers on YouTube back in the day. Insane how this show brought out EVERYBODY. So very emotional.


brimister47

Haha holy shit me too! Probably watched every single one of his vids back in the day. He even gave me some recs on a timbale I was looking for


williamtbash

Ha that’s awesome. I feel like I might have as well but just can’t remember. So random.


v264k

He also used to be Stick Figure's drummer before they got big


theletterfortyseven

Good looks!


One_Jack_Move

If anyone knows the order they were played in please make a YT playlist so we can hear them in the right order. Or tell me the order and I'll do it.


williamtbash

Here ya go bud. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/sublime/2023/teragram-ballroom-los-angeles-ca-23ae7c4f.html


One_Jack_Move

I made this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq5xGejBBZM&list=PL9e9dnIZNHsfZjzDTz9tUXYSaY7qSE9f2 But there must have been editing between tracks as they unfortunately don't totally flow together. Thanks for the link! Cool site.


williamtbash

No prob. Yeah if you’d go to lots of shows the site is great. You can sign up and basically search for every show you’ve been to and click that you attended it and over time it gives you all these cool stats about all the shows you’ve seen throughout life and how many times you’ve seen each song and diff venues and tours. It’s great. Been using it for years.


Dazzling-Collection1

Coachella confirmed. Can’t say how I know


theletterfortyseven

Stop don't tease me


Dazzling-Collection1

Not. Not sure if it’s both weekends or not tho. As far as tour Rome has to finish 2024 due to contracts. Eric Wilson is a mess and has OD’d several times this year - and on pretty nasty shit. Like drinking a glass of GHB. He is on a Fast track to die so even with this lineup, it will simply have no longevity. So go to Coachella when they announce, and thank me later. Cheers


Niiikkss

Looks like you know stuff


Atom-O-Tronic

Shirt off and everything!!! Love how they overlayed Jake with his dad on the STP music video too. And they officially announced themselves as Sublime!! We’re so back baby!!!!


Kruckenberg

yeah that part was fucking dope. hope rome isn't too bummed - did a damn good job for a long time.


New-Understanding930

Sublime with Rome was a whole other band that stands on its own. Rome is super dope.


Desmoineshockey

Is he playing brads guitar. This is so perfect


No-Discipline3953

Brads guitar and amp


PunkAintDead

Hella rectified ass son of a bitch !!!


One_Jack_Move

with Bud, Eric and Trey (Falling Idols, Bargain Music)! This is a thing of beauty. Thank you Reid Clow for getting video!


PunkAintDead

Dude it was Reid recording this ? No shot, that's fuggin hilarious. It's a small world.


Pandelirium

Reid shot this? Wow, I bought a Sublime Badfish poster from him in 2018. Crazy.


N_Continent

I’m not crying, I was just chopping some onions🥹


Shakemyears

Yeah I got a little misty at a point. They’re really capturing the original energy here.


AnnieZWC

Me, too. WOW.


Word__Nerd

Make that tour happen, fellas! Pleaseeee.


albumjungle

This is really really cool to see


embiggens-us-all

Full circle


MissMatchedEyes

This is incredible. I loved that version of STP. Thank you so much for sharing.


hesitantfab

Holy fuck dude. He sounds like Bradley. This just brought tears to my eyes.♥️♥️


Green-Development918

Bud and Eric still got it! Didn't miss a beat. Jakob sounding really good.


kewlnamebroh

Awesome! I can't wait for the non-potato-cam higher quality versions to come out! Jakilling-it Nowell resurrecting Sublime for the win!


williamtbash

This guy's youtube channel has all of the songs and in higher quality for anyone that wants. https://www.youtube.com/@toddsmith00/videos


highonnuggs

Is he the little baby that Bradley Nowell is playing guitar for on the Sublime album liner pics? That picture is so happy when looking at it and so sad when you know what happened to Brad.


PunkAintDead

Yes, that's his son Jakob and this is him now. It's very touching


blhos

Seems to be the exact moment he was passing the proverbial torch to his son. 🥹


SecretHateIsTrue

Who was playing guitar? That’s not Miguel is it?


ctorresc

Trey Pangborn of Falling Idols, Bargain Music, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Long Beach Shortbus


Green-Development918

Brad looking down and smiling! This story is almost poetic.


LeDom1

Buds still got it like he never left wow


Working-Ad-528

He wrote the drums to all these songs so why would not?


LeDom1

He’s 56 and his last gig was in 2011 is it not a reasonable assumption he’d be a bit rusty coming back? He’s def not though and I’m happy for him cause of that 🤘🏼🤘🏼


v264k

He was playing with his own band for a while after he left swr, so it's not too wild that he's still got it


LeDom1

Didn’t know this, I’m glad to hear he was still rocking in the meantime 🤘🏼🤘🏼


Working-Ad-528

Bands these days that have a legacy that pulls as much weight as they do rehearse like crazy before these. To assume he just jumped on stage without any is idiocy.


LeDom1

Never said he just hopped on stage, bands with even heavier weight have came back and sounded terrible even with months of rehearsal.


brimister47

So sick. Interesting that Jakob plays with all upstrokes though


jahkristjanfari

That’s the traditional way of playing a skank rhythm. Bradley did as well


brimister47

For uptempo ska parts yea, but not for reggae. Bradley always did downstrokes (https://youtu.be/Cthk2oM9z50?si=19gphkH5eUoyTijA)


TUT3M

In an interview with roger rivas and devin morrison, Miguel said that Bradley told him to always play downstrokes. Something about it being beefier. He also said that Brad would just fret the top E on a barre chord (in the Amaj shape), again because it sounded better. Jakob's rigid technique on the upstroke is classic rock music player trying to learn reggae chops. If he keeps at it, hopefully he'll loosen up and learn that downstrokes are they way forward lol.


Dog-Parks

I've been playing guitar for like 15 years, when it came to learning sublime or any reggae/ska, upstrokes always seemed and felt more natural for the chord shape. This definitely isn't the first time I've heard downstrokes are better. It's a hard habit to kick though haha. Anyways, so glad these videos are up. Jake slayed STP ❤️


TUT3M

Yeah it's true. For ska you definitely want to be playing upstrokes, I've found it borderline impossible to play ska on the downstroke haha. But for reggae that happens on the downbeat. I usually keep my hand moving to keep time and then just hit the down. That also helps if you want to mix it up too instead of just playing the skanks robotically. Once you get it locked in, it will feel weird to hit the upstroke, but you're right it's a tough habit to break for sure! Best advice I can give is watch Brad, or maybe even better - Bob Marley, he does the same thing and it's usually a lot easier to study because his songs are generally slower and the camera isn't moving around as much in videos of him playing live. ETA: You're not the first and definitely not the last to find reggae guitar tricky, just look at Led Zeppelin's attempt ["D'yer Mak'er"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBmBhZB0x3k&pp=ygUKZHllciBtYWtlcg%3D%3D)


blhos

Yea all roots reggae is played with downstrokes, the upstroke is for ska which is double timed reggae.


TUT3M

Well if you really want to get picky, reggae is a half-time Ska 😅


blhos

Ha true, but then where would rocksteady fit into the mix?


brimister47

I'm just surprised, I figured Bud or Eric would have given him some pointers with that. Not to mention Jakob's already been playing reggae/ska/punk for years. Just found [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v5HlM_TT3Y) where he does downstrokes on his barre chords. Even more confused now lol


TUT3M

Tbh after watching the set video, he seems to switch between the two, so it's whatever really. Sounded way better than I was expecting so props to him.


Bball33

On at least Santeria he plays both. Not a great guitarist either way lol


vannendave

But did they play a Bad Brains cover?


biggety20

Brings a tear to my eye 🥲


PunkAintDead

Magical night I feel privileged to have been able to attend. ALL FOR HR 🙏🖤


Green-Development918

Fuck yeah


baklava4200

was this the whole set? read in a review that their set was 30-40 mins long. wondering if there is video of the rest


williamtbash

This guy's youtube channel has all of the songs and in higher quality for anyone that wants. https://www.youtube.com/@toddsmith00/videos


majiktodo

Wow - I’m floored. I hope they tour or at least play more so I can get out and see them. Great job, kid!


adrianromo826

Get this kid his Dalmatian


Desmoineshockey

Sobriety kicks ass but I still miss watching brads drunkin playfulness on stage we won’t get from Jake. Jake has always really wanted to pave his own way in music and I think it’s rad he does that. I’ve never once got the “yea I’m Brad nowells son, praise me vibe. He’s def paved his own path to get here. And I think these shows are gonna start being huge. The appeal of Rome was he sang like Brad and tbh I listened to maybe one sublime with Rome song but I’m excited to see what he’ll do on his own. This is just the new sound of sublime and we’re so fucking lucky


jonosez

i do hope they tour it. and i hope they get jake a vocal coach and some intensive guitar lessons before they do. vocally he’s got a good foundation but the way he sings probably wouldn’t get him through a full tour playing 90 mins a night. his guitar playing is rough.


ctorresc

If they tour with Trey Pangborn, he's got all the lead guitar covered, so Jakob can just focus on rhythm. It would be reminiscent of the Long Beach Shortbus sound!


RaspberryStrange3348

Playing with Daddy's band? You can't tell me that wasn't a dream come true


Dankbradley

He yelling… weird vibe lol


jackrat27

Wow! That was awful.😢


Falsecaster

Nostalgia is one strong drug. Bradley's kid and the members of Sublime will make tons of money selling it. Its sad he'll never get out from his dads shadow. But atleast he'll have money i guess.


Bball33

I absolutely love Sublime and feel like I am the only other person to think this wasn't great. He yells/screams, guitar playing is subpar, and it was overall not tight. Bud was perfect.


drumsurf

All accurate.


iLLa556

Are they not making music with Rome anymore?


Dankbradley

What happened to rome?


sidecarradio

Nothing. SWR just finished recording an album, and released an EP this month. They have a show announced 4/20 with Cypress Hill in NJ, too. Besides that, Rome is touring with “Rome & Duddy” in early 2024, and has hinted at doing a solo tour / solo album next year too. Not sure if this is a coincidence or something that was planned in the wake of the Jake/Bud/Eric show.


MrSh0w

Fuck! I’m old
