It was this video that made me realize something. No one dances like Ian. I instantly knew it was him out of my love for Don Cab. Still going strong and staying brilliant, I see. Bro, everyone is this band is fucking amazing. 10/10

John Stainer is probably the best drummer I have ever seen live. He plays like he wants to rip through those drums but does it in such a clean and precise manner! Amazing drummer!

This is just so fucking awesome. No one else makes music as exciting as they do.

This band always surprises me with something new!!! To be honest when I first heard this band, I thought it was weird, but later on, I realized that they are the shiznit!!!

Where has this band been all my life? Beyond amazing.

don... caballero ...

can't get enough of this sound

This song is great! I really like the last loop the band plays too, but with more listening, I found the riff to be played earlier in the song. Mind = blown. Dave plays a riff starting at 3:20 that mixes into the song really well. The riff continues to play alone on a loop, with cut EQ, to start the breakdown. Dave increases the speed at which the riff is played at, at 4:11, which makes the riff an octave higher and turns it from 12/4 into 6/4. Definitely looking forward to the new album!

It's like three musicians in a simultaneous flow state

Stunning. Never heard of this band before. That was awesome music!

Saw them last night in Brooklyn. AMAZING!!!

Can't stop watching this video. So pumped to finally see these guys play tonight!

This song still sends shivers down my spine. What epic musicianship. Such a tight sound.

I'm in love with this band and the CAMERA WORK OMG

didn't think too much after my first listen, but NOW! This shit GROOVES

I don't understand how you play with such precision. It's easy to tell this is acoustic acoustic art just by listening.

this song is sooo nice, Good job on the Director David Raboy on this is one of the best edit I' have seen of a band playing live !!!

Not including the number of times I watched the stream on loop yesterday, I've already watched this 6 times now.

can't wait for the new album! love the video!

That beat at 2:28 is incredible. Love shit like that

Is it just me or does this live version sound a lot better than the studio recorded version? I feel like the keys/guitars sound a lot better on the live version and the drums sound more alive on this version as well.

+Harte Craft It does. It really, really does. But what it really is is the ending to the studio version falls totally flat when compared to the ending of this one. You also have to keep in mind that the leak is very shitty sounding. It will sound super crisp when a good leak comes out.

+DeadODST i respectfully disagree, i think there's a lot of reverb here that makes it sound dirty and crowded. what i love about the studio version is the super clean production and the deep, deep bass, but that's what this one is lacking, even if performances are a bit more expressive

You can immediately hear that is one of the greatest intros of all time. Not just because of how uncommon it is but also because of how it is played live. You can see Ian Williams really focused on the frequency of the sound and get a glipse at John Stanier when he's like, "When are we getting this party started?"
