Performance On MTV's Rock-N-Jock

Performance on MTV's
Rock-N-Jock Bowling Ball
On 2-20-99 New Radicals did a
performance on MTV's Rock-N-Jock Bowling Ball special. This section has all the details
from the show, along with some pictures!
The New
Radicals came out to do their performance
about 15 minutes into the show. Carson Daily
introduced them and they started with "You
Get What You Give". First off, this wasn't
just any ordinary show, they had to take five
of the bowling lanes out so they could play
and Danielle Brisebois was there for backup.
Gregg
began the song with a few random "I
love ya honey"'s and "ooooooooh"'s. Then
screamed "One, Two, One Two Three Four!".
Then the song started. Gregg just stood
there doing a few arm movements for the first
minute or two. This preformance sounded a lot
like the Leno show (except on Leno the sound
system was terrible).
When the
song was towards the end and Gregg was
singing the "health insurance..." part he had
a flat tone to his voice and was speaking it.
This, didn't work to his advantage. Infact,
it set
him behind the song so he didn't say "we'll
kick your ass in!" on time, but he covered
his tracks pretty well.
Then,
without warning, Gregg went nuts! He was
dancing all around the stage with the
microphone. Then, he danced over to the
drummer and started hitting the drums with
his microphone like he was the drummer. He
wound up knocking the
cymbal off it's stand! When the song was just
about to end Gregg went to the front of the
stage and sat on the floor, and when the last
beat of the drum was over he dropped his
head.
After
"You Get What You Give," they played
"Mother, We Just Can't Get Enough" for the
audience, but we, the viewer, only got a
little snippet of it coming back from
commercial.
