Knower, Second Set, Rochester JazzFest, June 24, 2018 *Full Show!*
Музыка
This is the second set of Knower live at the Anthology Club at the Rochester JazzFest on June 24, 2018. This particular gig is unique in that they play two pieces I'm not familiar with, at the time this video was posted. One is "Chinese Funk" and the other is "One Hope".
The lineup on this concert is:
Louis Cole: Drums, synth
Genevieve Artadi: Lead vocals
Sam Wilkes: Bass
Rai Thistlethwaite: Keyboards
The band was fresh off a tour of Europe, Asia, and Australia at the time of this performance, so they're tight and well rehearsed. Rai was not the usual keyboardist for this tour, but he was scheduled to perform at the Rochester JazzFest three days later, so I suspect, since he was in Rochester at the time, this is why he performed with the band on this particular gig. Fans may remember Rai as the keyboard player on the "Live Sesh" videos the band put on their KZread and Facebook channels, which went viral last year. If you haven't seen these, check 'em out. They're great!
My position while recording this was as far front as I could get. In fact, I was leaning against the stage and my beer was on the stage in front of me. Louis was 6 to 8 feet away. So I bring this concert from the Anthology Club directly to you.
Enjoy! :-)

What I love most? The way that she *always* holds her microphone away from the stage monitor, to avoid feedback. Massive professionality.

So true, it's such a disappointment when good singers cannot hold a microphone properly. She knows how it's done, though.

my absolute favorite thing was how she remained standing the entire set without tripping over any cables or monitors. absolute class
Such a sweet performance piece. A rare gem for sure. That snare & kit sounds amazing!
Such a seriously talented band...but Louis Cole is the icing on the cake. A phenomenal musician.

Wow, they really brought out the 'old' stuff for the first half! Amazing as always.

Thanks man, that was a great vid. I love the way they slice and dice the songs, really makes them exciting to listen to. How about that keyboard just before Pizza! Those chords melted my face. Sounded a bit like Holdsworth. Genevieve is really turning into a confident performer.
Thanks for recording this!
Phenomenal!
Insanely good!!😎👍🎵

Somehow, first time I see this live performance on YT. Some very original versions of several songs in here, brilliant !! Amazing vibe also... About the sound : not surprised the vocals are a bit "under-mixed", I saw them live a couple of days ago, same thing.
To bad I missed this. I wish I knew, knower was going to Grace Rochester with some real wonderful music!
knower is a trerasure and this upload is a gem
Incredible.
Great job filming Paul!!! 😁😁

I'm afraid the real thing is not much better. It's called lo-fi, it's a thing, they do it on purpose. It is beyond me but apparently it is conscious. Artistic freedom and all.

Жыл бұрын
@@MartinMaat That's not it at all. Genevieve's vocals in particular are not as loud as they should be (on the recording) because the guy recording is situated very close to the stage, right between the mains. If he would have been further back, there likely would have been a better mix but then the visual aspect wouldn't have been captured as well as it was. Knower has nothing to do with "lo-fi". Maybe "hyper-fi"?

@@MartinMaatAdding noise to a recording to give it a "lo fi" vibe has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of a live mix. Their mixes live sound perfectly fine afaik. Of course the mix isn't going to sound good when just recorded from a phone as in the above vid.

So Chinese Funk is My Buick?

Hi Paul Remington, thanks for sharing this great performance. I wish to make a transcript of the jazzy 3 minute Rai Thistlethwayte piano solo on 'Around' starting at 15:25. Is there any way I can contact you to get the audio for this section of video so that I can use audio tools to better hear the keys which get drowned out when Louis comes in at 17:09 ?
Anyone know what left-side cymbal he is playing?
Rai was on Joe Satriani's recent tour - knew he looked familar.
Bass player should stand up. Great band.
I love knower. Jennifer dances like Elaine 🤣 from Seinfeld tho.
Her speaker need to be higher you can can’t hear her
21:27
Is there a soundboard recording of this somewhere? Hard to hear Gen's vocals.
Bad sound quality hurts. Almost saddening..

Wow they need somebody working the sound mixer on their next show. This does not showcase their talent AT ALL because you can't hear half the song I'm still really happy to see them performing though
50:51
Great performance, audio blows.
Does anyone ever notice you can barely hear the singer?
If this video is monetized, the proceeds should go to Knower minus the cost of your ticket and beer. They worked their asses off and it's their property.
why Rai look like the stranger things kid
Chinese funk or my buick
Way too much room on the stage, I don't know how they managed to cope with it all.
Love the band. Can't hear the singer at all....as usual
I love/hate the chatter in the back ground. Hate: Nothing of this deserves a lapse of attention. Wish her vocals were a bit better mixed. God dam you are always great! Oh love? I love the way there is chatter like the old days of jazz like when Anita O’day and Ella Fitzgerald sang over the cocktail din. It’s tradition. Jazz lives.
Great band. Crap camera work
Bass player's great but he needs to stand his ass up on a gig.
