Passengers board the Carnival Victory for Ships and Dip III, a rock-and-roll cruise with Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Carbon Leaf, Great Big Sea and others, January 27, 2008. These two are dressed to fit the Tacky Tourist theme of the day. At right, passengers board the ship underneath one of the ship’s features they don’t want to use - lifeboats.

Members of Barenaked Ladies (BNL) perform a “Sail Away Set” on the Lido deck during disembarkation. From left to right: Ed Robertson singing, Kevin Hearn on accordion, Tyler Stewart drumming, and Jim Creeggan intent on his upright bass. Below, Steven Page belts out a loud one.

Barenaked Ladies Encore: When I Fall

<< Previous post in this series   |  

Barenaked Ladies Sing When I Fal

In a rare unplanned encore demanded by fans, Barenaked Ladies performed fan-favorite “When I Fall” during their first regular concert, Tuesday, January 29, 2008, on the rock-and-roll cruise “Ships and Dip III,” hosted by the band. The narrative is sung from the point of view of a greasy window washer looking into a corporate boardroom from his perch on the outside. He doesn’t care for his job, and his mind wanders, asking the listener to support him in his inevitable failures. “I wish I could fly from this building, from this wall,” Ed Robertson, center, sings. “And if I should try, would you catch me if I fall, when I fall?” Steven Page sings backup and Jim Creeggan plays upright bass. The rest of the band joins in finishing the gentle song, ending the concert.
