Notes
Near the end of their 1997 European jaunt You Am I make time in their busy schedule to record for legendary Dutch TV/radio show 2 Meter Sessies (translation: 2 Meter Sessions). Hosted by Jan Douwe Kroeske - supposedly the show's name refers to his height! - the show has seen performances by anyone and everyone in the music scene over the past 30 or so years.
The sessions are typically around 30 mins in length, so although You Am I shared this episode with Wilco it is assumed that other songs were performed.
Not certain about the venue.

Two songs from You Am I's appearance on 2 Meter Sessies - spirited performances of "Good Mornin'" and "Mr. Milk", which had been singles in Europe around this time. At the very end of the clip Tim namechecks Andy Bernstein, who was the band's English tour manager. Later that night You Am I would support Wilco at Melkweg in Amsterdam.
