Debatable

at 7:33 it's not the note that gets me choked up, it's the crowd response. knowing that there can be a full room of people that match my vibe for this band hits me like a ton of bricks

They celebrated the note too, i think that any periphery fan knows how hard it is to sing their song even for Spencer, is just incredible performance.

Best things about this video: - band plays wax wings for the first time ever and nails it. - spencer wears a sikth shirt.

I was absolutely blown away by Spencer at 7:25 , you can hear his voice starting to fatigue and yet he STILL manages to find and hold that final high note. Such an insanely difficult song to perform and he killed it.

This is one of their best songs vocally. One of the best he's recorded. I wasn't a fan of his the first couple of albums, but he's improved so much over the years.

It's funny how it works. My range is similar to his and those first two high notes are harder to hit than the last higher one for me. It's like the last one is using a different part of my voice that isn't tired from the singing up to that point

This album had almost no fx on his vocal. He want over that in the make of video. Kinda what you hear is what you get.

Not fucking fair. So lucky everyone who got to see this

This song staves off the intrusive thoughts.

Thank you so much for capturing this. Seeing it live was one of the highlights of my entire 23 years attending live shows. From Spencer psyching himself up for the high note at 5:55, to his raw emotion afterwards, and the insane support of the crowd. The energy in the room at that moment was goddamn magical.

On the train back from their show in London right now, incredible show but I was gutted this wasn’t on the set list, my current favourite song of theirs 🖤

Im blown away by this band’s songwriting ability and live performance

That's a really nice crowd. So crazy to be on stage and hear all the people screaming your songs like that.

Periphery fans always give back. It’s like a periphery family ❤️

Wow that crowd brought it together with the group vocals! Gave me chills thinking about how awesome this would have been as a performer!

Awe you lucky bastards lol

Wax wings is such a banger bro 🙏

- Dad, why my sister's name is Daisy? - Cuz your mother likes so much these flowers, so I choose your name from something I like. - Ok dad, I love you - I love you too, Periphery - Wax Wings (LIVE DEBUT) @ Bluebird Theater, Denver, 11/7/23

Man Periphery is one of those bands that have that something special… this is amazing, thanks for sharing!

one of my fav. song from periphery5

They killed that. And what a crowd too. Awesome

And this is why i will always say Spencer is the best vocalist in the prog/djent genre.

I can’t believe they played all my fav songs from P5, although I also really like Thanks Nobuo it doesn’t strike me as a “live song” as much. When I saw them in the spring I expected Wildfire/Atropos, but my favs were Zagreus, Dracul Gras, and Wax Wings and I was bummed I didn’t hear one of them. But not only that, it was the frickin debut performance for Wax Wings AND Dying Star which I didn’t expect to be a live song either, let alone the performances of some songs for the first time since 2014. I can’t wait to see them again already, they even have enough amazing material for a 3rd set. Anyway, THANK YOU for recording the whole song, especially also including the intro bits as those moments where they got to speak were so special.

Thanks for recording this! Fucking sick! Kudos to the band for nailing this very technical song live!

Such an amazing performance. I love this band so much! Thank you for the video!

incredible song and perfomance

Just saw them the 2 nights in Baltimore! They killed it just like they did with this debut!!🔥🔥

Fuck this is incredible!

I was hoping they'd play this, considering this was my favorite song from P5. So glad they did this.

7:34 So epic 😍

Wow Spence sounds good here.

I am so jealous I wasn't in the room for this.

Is spencer's throat okay ? (-':

07:34 Jesus!!!

How does he figure out that tuning with all the chords and new intervals (because it's no longer strings going down in 4ths) without knowing any theory?

Looking at Jake I feel tired myself 😢

Why is Spencer singing sideways to the crowd? Genuine question.

Just a thought here, but for a band that so prevalently features highly technical instrumentation it might be that he's turning to take the focus off of himself to give it to his band mates. Could be totally off here, but that was my initial reaction.

@krisztianfugedi5910

I'm no live sound engineer, but he does seem to stand slightly close to the drumkit as there's not enough place on the stage, and the cymbal bleed might come through the mic, further accentuated by compression. He also seems to have a supercardioid mic, which is good at rejecting from the sides, so maybe that's why.

How TF does Mark not know shit about music theory 💀 this gives me hope! I assumed he was well versed in it, the way he plays

so onstage they have 3 guitarists but no bassist? weird haha

@TrevIEnt

6 ай бұрын

They had a bassist. He quit touring so he's just a studio musician. Easier to just use backing tracks and keep the old bassist in the family, in a sense. It's a bit disappointing for live performances, but lots of bands these days decide that they don't even need a bass player.

It's a technically hard song to sing and that's a far stretch saying out of pitch big time....what's your point of reference, the album recording or Puddle of Mud covering Nirvana. Spencer killed it for first time live, by all rights no one thought he would even try to sing it live. Maybe you are just used to artists singing easier songs with less vocal gymnastics or backing tracks.
