Big Thief is the most real band I have seen in a very long time, and Adrienne Lenker is this generation’s best songwriter in my opinion. I just love how the lyrics can be so visceral and so moving at the same time... Her songs, to me, are all about how life can be beautiful and crushing at the same time. And I love how they four look like they are not trying to be anything they are not, and MAN, there you see a show well played! And I can see all that through a screen in my living room in a melancholic self distancing brazilian evening... What a time to be alive!!!

Yeah I got the Neil Young thing too.. When he's live, doing the extended guitar solos where it has no real structure, but he's going where it takes him.. I think it helps that he was a bit limited on lead guitar intricacies which made him freer to do what he felt rather than being chained to the music theory

well that was the most fun I've had all day

This place smells like piss and beer, can you get me out?" You were asking me, how to get you free I only know the recipe to roam You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you Wrapping her left arm around your right Ready to walk you through the night Old stars Filling up my throat You gave em to me when I was born Now they're coming out Laying there on the hospital bed your eyes were narrow, blue and red You took a draw of breath and said to me You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like me Wrapping my left arm round your right Ready to walk you through the night Old friends, old mothers, dogs and brothers There's only so much letting go you can ask someone to do So I keep you by my side, I will not give you to the tide I'll even walk you in my stride, Marie Cause I saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you Wrapping your left arm round my right Ready to walk me through the night Toy What a fool, familiar dream I wake up laughing and running From the boy crying and coming 'Cause the toy in my hand is real What a tomb we're building here In the sphere, that's where we all die In the eye, that's where I'm living The toy in my hand is real In the room, her warm hands play On my breast, what is she singing? Her form ringing and ringing 'Cause the toy in my hand is real The toy in my hand is real Charcoal, the jet planes purr In the crew, distant as paper Children burn, faceless vapor 'Cause the toy in my hand is real Yes, the toy in my hand is real

Absolutely amazing band and "Not" is such a raw, beautiful song. It gave me goosebumps just like the first time when I heard Jeff Buckley's Grace album.

Absolutely love the guitar solo at 21:10. He's trying hard to play it as messy as possible and the other's are all lovin it, and yet it still sounds amazing

So powerful. Best band and artist Ive found in awhile and hope to see live someday

I love how Big Thief will go from delivering the most insane performance to talking about how their album was fuelled by burritos

good god so much love during that last song

They are so amazing live. If you ever get the chance, go see them!

They are just amazing. And I bought the ticket for them gig in my city just few hours ago.. I really can't wait to see them live!

Ugh I love this band so much! Their songs always make me cry

I love this band. This left me wanting at least another hour.

Anyone else notice that in this version of "Not," the lyric "not the boy I'm seeing with her long black hair" became "not the girl I'm seeing with her long black hair"?

My boy Buck seems very subdued in this session. Release the beast Buck! Love you guys.
