Even the crowd clapped IN TIME (almost never happens), that's how awesome the song is.

His best vocal performance of Deadhead, even better than the studio one.

I agree. Most people seem to consider the Royal Albert version the best, but this version to me sounds much richer vocal wise. Devin's vocal timbre changed considerably after starting the DTP due to age, but in this show it sounds like a blend of those two eras. I mean come on, listen to the "You are" line at 6:41, he doesn't sing it that way anymore, with that kind of grit. Its awesome

Osoch i came to say the exact thing with almost the same words haha. I have always seen the “ you are “ part as an example of the grit he used to have , which adds a lot more to the performance than his actual óperistic vocal style .

@@xobrasxx Exactly. His opera style is very good no doubt, and it does work flawlessly in many songs. However I always felt Deadhead very raw in emotion, a painful song, and IMO singing it in opera style makes it too polished, I feel it doesn't transmit that emotion as well

I am aware that Devin is never gonna read this because this isn't even his official channel, but... i need to let this out. Thank you Devin. You and your music mean so much to me, i've been trying so hard to feel better throughout the past year and nothing seems to help except for your music. I have never heard something that affects me in this way before, nothing at all, and i've browsed through every reddit discussion and read every snob comment telling me that X band is better, Y band is more technical, Z band is more thoughtful... the truth is that you can't quantify/measure feelings, especially when they are this intense and... just irrational. I don't want something cerebral, calculated, deliberately convoluted... i want something sincere, genuine, and simple, and your music, to me, has always been predicated on such traits, at least your early catalogue, in spite of all of the chaos, the madness, the anger, the fear, the ugliness... there is still an overarching emotional truth to all of them.

it was absolutely no effort for him here, nowadays it's like he's on a deathbed with those screams lol

I love Devin, because he is the least poser-y dude in metal. Mustard shirt, white khakis, track shoes, classic Devy

I don't usually post comments on videos, but i need in this one. I met this God Sir with Soilwork, and, one day, i found this video from Tuska. It was amazing. I spent this whole week listening to his live stuff. And this song, plus Supercrush and Numbered are just art. Fucking art. He is a god. No doubt about it.

"Why is there a fly landing on me? He knows why!" We all know why, Devin!

+canoestothemoon He is literally the only vocalist I know of, especially within the harsher side of metal, that has gotten BETTER with age. I think it has to do with an excellent technique combined with cleaner living since he gave up the drugs/alcohol/smoking. It's ridiculous how insane he has gotten, even since this show.

Cell phone mics are horrible at picking up loud music properly. Very few raw cellphone videos of live shows are even decent sounding. The best are all acoustic. Tuska is LOUD, overwhelms cell phones completely.

canoestothemoon check out their performance in polodiv. That’s his best on this song

Those drums sound beautiful!

I wouldn't say this is the greatest song ever written, but it's up there.

Done it. You wont regret it. Very accessible too. He hung around after a show in Sydney for 2 hours just mingling with fans.

This just might be the greatest performance of any song ever recorded. I'm a huge Devin fan, so I'm pretty biased, but there's something captured in this performance that just screams something like beauty, or peace, or something like that. I dunno, but I've listened to this song for years of my life and it always has the same impact.

I can't help but smile when I listen to Devin Townsend.

I was about to cry while i listened to this song. I really respect this guy. He is such a genius i have seen

Oh my fucking god! This version sounds SO good! Like the version from years ago!! HIS VOICE TRANSCENDS SPACE AND TIME ITSELF! Look at how he summons those emotions! This has ALWAYS been my favorite song of his since the first time I heard it.

What a prayer. giant prayer

if devin townsend was a superhero his name would be CAPTAIN EPIC!!! the sound he has is simply massive.

my favorite singer!!!!!

Most entrancing live show I have ever had the privilege to witness!!

This is the best recording of this song he ever did.

It's been a week since I discovered Devin Townsend. Now I can't listen to anything else. I was going to see BTBAM and DTP because of BTBAM, but now I'm super hyped about seeing this fine gentleman live. I hope he plays this song at the (Dallas) show. :)

I think I'm most impressed how in time the crowd is with the clapping

I've widdled my bucket list down to one,... See this man perform live and I'll die very happy!!

I personally tend to prefer his wilder journeys like Deconstruction, Planet of the apes or Borderlands but Deadhead is amazing as well.

devin's vocals are something else......

In my home country a seagull shitting on your head is a sign of good luck.. No joke

Thank you so much for uploading this! That was one of the best days in my life and this video takes me back there and then.

awesome tune, big thx Zakk for sharing!!!!!Devin rules!!!

I've seen him live 3 times in the past 2 years. He's so fantastic. The best live show that I've ever seen (aside from local bands; always great to see your buds rocking out!)

I was lucky enough to see this live. Incredible song, gives me goosebumps every time I hear this.

This was Devins finest concert.

This is my favourite song of all time forever.

He was in Tuska2022, I missed it. He was in Helsinki again last week, I missed that also. I suck.

This is a great version of Deadhead, but the Royal Albert Hall version is king!

Devin always makes me cry but in a good way!!

This has to be the greatest live performance ever!!!! I wish I could see them live!!!! COME TO LOS ANGELES!

Fantastic live version

Oh, and I have seen him 3 times and suggest to anyone even the slightest bit interested in his music to go see him live. The man is like no other!

Definately worth the watch! I saw him at Bloodstock last year and really wanna see him again. Such an incredible guy! :)

Last time DT played a show here, i went with a buddy who is a huge Strapping fan and otherwise pretty much listens to death metal ONLY. So when i introduced him to the DTP records i expected the worst from him but i called him up and asked him what he thought and he was like "this is amazing, this stuff is brilliant!!!" And i said "But it's not death metal" and he said "It's fucking Devin Townsend, and thats all that matters". :D

I reckon I didn't really know the true meaning of epic until I heard Deadhead for the first time.

this is truely an amazing song

You will do man, seen him four times and all of them were definitely some of the best shows iv'e ever seen, best front man ever in my opinion. I know i will definitely die happy from seeing this fine specimen of a man lol

perfection personified

someone should make a compilation of all the live versions of the "you save me" C5 scream at the end of this song.. Never fails to give me chills

This, kind gentlemen, is Devin GODsend.

Seen Devin twice, both times very different, always so metal, always so funny, always so warm atmosphere when Dev is onstage! If i'd have to pick that one guy who is the no.1 man/woman in the whole music industry, it would be Mr. Townsend, a true genious in music, singing and playing guitar, and a very nice guy overall, those two things usually never come hand to hand!

Saw this genious of a god last year in Sweden. Will see him live again this November..... TWICE even! I can die even more happy after that ^^

he is AMAZING live

Goosebumps.

Omfg. That perfect moment at 6:55... I just love that guy.

I feel the same!!!!! DEVIN IS...THE BEST,,,, AND THE BEAST!!!! FUCK YEAHHH!!!!

@blackroseimmortal he played keys for Strapping Young Lad's album Alien as a session musician and then Devin like him so much they've been playing music together ever since :D

I want that exact guitar Devin is using, even with the DTP logo on it....and that sound.....its a perfect wall of colossal guitar sound. beautiful.

That's an amazing line-up.

That intro is freakin awesome!!!

This is awesome. There was a 20 min. version or so with 3-4 songs in YT earlier. Hope it's not been taken away.

Yeah bro u right! Been trying to find this again for a long time now. As far as I remember it was posted on the Peavey KZread channel, but for some reason we can't find it anymore 😢

tout simplement magistral !

Who the fuck accidentally hit the dislike? How could anyone purposefully hit the dislike button on Devin Townsend.

Christ I can't frek'n wait to see these guys play tomorrow night at the Metro, Sydney! This Song is Awesome! Pumped & Psych'd!!! XD

Thank you for uploading this. Fucking love this song.

Devin is the man!

ACTUAL ANSWER: Strapping is done with. While Devin was 95% the driving force behind that project, it was a band with 4 members who were equally essential to it's existence. Hardly the same as the "solo" work that Dev has been putting out for years and years, whether it be under his name alone, The Devin Townsend Band or Devin Townsend Project. Seeing a group perform a Strapping song other than the 4 members who made up SYL would be just silly. Although, Dev has played an acoustic ver. of "Love".

amazing

Genio...

OMG !!! Des frissons...

Cool. When Devin screams @ 6:43 he suddenly looks like Bruce Willis for a moment. Now you know that you are a badass singer, when you can change into Bruce Willis while you're singing!!! :)

Magical

Retinal Circus.. Cant wait !

iv seen him live he was amazing

RIGHT ON MAN IT WAS AWESOME SHOW PCE! AND I GOT PICK FROM DEVIN

Great voice.

Chills.

I love this song Come to chile please

I really want to check out Tuska sometime! \m/

Always tears 7.01

Now that's more like it!

I just saw him last week in seattle!

Flawless fucking performance!

I was. I can die happy.

he is fucking awesome and his band kicks ass too!

devin fucking loves what he does theres no denying that hes fucking incredible! his band is super tight too!

I was there in, man that Ziltoid so fuckin EPIC. This also.

Found out too late that Devin was going to perform in Tuska, would definately have gone there just to see him perform.

Zajebisty Geniusz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn right he is!

(Ending) "Thank you. Why is there a fly landing on me? He knows why." -Devin Townsend \m/

fucking awesome. !

Gonna see him live in Denmark, November 2nd :D

That silver burst PRS is farkin HUGE!!

Why wasn't I here? I could of died happy.. =(

this performance is like night in day compared to the synchestra dvd. it's ten times the epicness plus devin's voice has improved a lot since those days

Do keep listening. He's done many very emotionally effective albums: Ocean Machine, Infinity, Terria, Ki...

How did he create this Piece of Art? Deadhead is Amazing!! I have to meet Devin one day and ask him, how did he do it.

fucking awesome, tanks for the video! :)

Every time I listen to this song I just want to sit around doing nothing. The only thing my mind can do is reflect.

Он просто нереально крут! Охуенный чел и музыкант!!!

The cleans at 7:12 are from another universe

I might see this dude at download this year xD What're we thinking, peoples?
