This is a perfect example of a man that knows how to make beautiful music instead of just hard-to-play music. He takes his time and builds the song with subtle nuances, breath, timing and beautifully melodic melodies that make the soul fly to another world. By the time you are done, it is as if you had a spiritual experience. Thank you PLINI for such wonderful beauty!

Yeah, really good observation. For example - I absolutely love Animals As Leaders, but I think they get a little lost in their own virtuosity sometimes. Listening to AAL is more like solving a very hard sudoku, which can be very fun and rewarding, but still is a mental exercise. With Plini, I can enjoy the songs without making it a polyrhythm clinic, they tap straight into my "just stop thinking and enjoy it" part of the brain, and there's still so much to discover if you feel like digging deeper.

yep - it’s got to have a good melody. ❤
This is one of those songs where when I'm listening to it, I can't help but feel utterly convinced that it's the best song I've ever heard.

The toms at 3:18 - 3:22 to complement the outro of that minute-long guitar fill is one of the best touches in this entire song, and Plini knows it looking back at Chris Allison.
What a production and sound quality! Plini, I'd pay good money for a 4k bluray of a live release with an awesome 7.1 mix... I'm sure many would too!!
Hats off to Chris Allison for pulling that off live (the whole crew really) . That couldn't have been an easy feat to master...
The addition of a live keyboard player is A+
this tune has a feel good effect on me. Thanks Plini, your composition style is unique.
That bass solo starting at 4:47 is nothing short of incredible! That's the cleanest, most creative bass solo I've seen in a long time!

Simon is the GOAT

I think this one was more melodic kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppOYldGsls_AhLQ.html, but Simon has the Midas touch for sure and this one was gold as well. He is most definitely the GOAT imo.
Chris' drums in this song are too killer, And plini always delivering the best of the song to us, greetings from Brazil.
My father passed away last month at the way too young age of 66. Frank Zappa and the guitarists of the 70s were his idols. I regret never introducing him to the new generation of artists that shape how we view this amazing instrument today. Plini certainly is among them and i am sure he would have enjoyed this beautiful music and how his favourite instrument - which he played and studied for so many years - evolved. He didn't hear Plini's music once and now sadly never will. But nevertheless, every time i do i will think of him and cherish that i am alive and able to enjoy music at its best.
The most beautiful thing about this isn't the song (which is sensational) or the playing (which is otherworldly), but the love you can see Plini, Jake and Simon have for each other. Brothers in art.

Plini is becoming my new favourite band. Your sound and style, and incredible guitar playing is on another level.
It's one of my favorite songs ever written in existence. It's up there with Vai's Answers & the Riddle, and Fever Dream It's just a glorious thing.
5:35 Onwards: A pure ecstatic feel! To me, it is beyond what words can explain.
i literally cannot stop listening to this masterpiece. Plini is the ultimate amalgam of everything i love in melodic, technical, progressive heavy metal and somehow exceeds its own vision. a new journey every time. always fresh. forever beautiful. time for another playthrough.

Damn! Good to see Chris is still rocking the stache! Simon is looking great! No wonder Dave hasn’t kept up his release schedule haha. Amazing song!
I wish there was a live blu ray available of this full gig
When I saw Plini last year I was in awe. And that keyboard player did a solo during the concert that was incredibly beautiful.
Oooo....is Chris on set? Nice To have Chris and Troy locked and loaded for the band is golden
Favourite song ngl 🔥🔥🔥
*The groove...* Will help people battling anxiety and uncertainty
I can't believe I was fortunate enough to be at this gig. There were so many times I couldn't believe what was happening. One of the best gigs I've ever been to. Until next time, Plini.
Brilliant choice with the just intonation guitar. This mix just comes alive together. Especially love your harmony work. *chefs kiss*
Love that song 🤗 Could listen to that outro part in an endless loop 🎶🎶😲
Plini ❤
I've been listening to this song over and over all week! Thanks for the live video guys!
These are true musicians of merit.Nothing but respect from me.
Damn. How can an 8 minute song end so soon. Excellent, brahs.
I came to youtube to search for something specific, saw the thumbnail, clicked instantly and now 7 minutes later I can't remember what it was. Thanks Plini. Oh, btw. epic perormance.
Always a very nice Song and I can't hear enough. 👍
Yeees finally the best plini song live
This show in may is gonna be the best show i've ever been to, hands down.
Some of the best art being created today without any doubt.
I guess Marbles wouldn't have been as majestic of a song title. Great playing!
I listen to this song every day and that 15:8 is something I can't get enough of. It's no less amazing live! See you in Millvale!
What an absolute masterpiece of a song. Fantastic musicianship all-round!
why do I feel like his tones are of this universe
Nothing like listening to a great song for the first time.
….emozione pura , grazie Plini per la tua musica ! ……18 Marzo a Milano , ci sarò !!!
Yes kids, this is talent. Sick!!! ✌️
Finally got to see Plini on Halloween 2023. Incredible. Please come back to Portland
My favorite Track of this wonderful album😍😍😍
Aaah. Plini. The genius. It is a singular aim in life to watch you live one day.
this is just an spectacular performance
Going to see them in 4 days I cannot wait
Is he rocking a new signature? Lipstick bridge pickup and the tempered frets are definitely some upgrades to the arsenal.

Looks like a customized version of the Strandberg Jazz. No f hole and just a vol control, trem bridge and "wavy" frets and lipstick neck pickup you noted.
