My old man used to listen to this kind of music when he was younger. I forwarded this to him and said it'll take him back, plus "wether report didn't have neon light helmets" 😁

every time those offbeat open hi hat hits come into the chorus i lose my FUCKING MIND its so good! it's just such a perfect response to the melody and the fact that it's so much louder and brighter in this version just makes this whole performance nice and saucy

The drummer is crazy awesome....

if someone would have told me 20 years ago that squarepusher's songs would be played live.. I would not have believe it because, the drummer wasn't possible at that time :D

already listened to this 6 times today. its as if you roll jaco pastorius, marcus miller, clyde stubblefield, paradox drumfunk and some unknown substance from another dimension into a blunt and smoke it through a bong. in other words: ass kicker!

4 years later: great comment m8 ;)

Having learned to play bass in the late 90s, and simultaneously messin with drum machines n such, Squarepusher was my hero. My band would cover Squarepusher theme, roni size/reprazent-hi potent, dylan/ink-california curse (tech itch remix), etc live. But now to have Sir Jenkinson killin it with a full band is a full on Nostalgiasm that has me floored! This needs to be on every Jazz station in the USA to get this country clued into the brilliance that does NOT HIT OUT AIRWAVES!

The crowd is just standing there awe-struck!

Makes me think of a 1980's New York City cop drama soundtrack brought up to the vibes of futurists from Europe. Like a ...I don't know... Kojack with a bionic arm and eyeball.

Now my life is complete. I only waited 20 years for this... And please, have some mercy for the drummer, he doesn't have to follow the original to a T :)

This is like the best cop tv-theme music ever!

Holy hell! What a dream for this band to be able to play these songs w Tom! This is unreal!

1st time I've ever seen the actual shobaleader band with him... that drummer got the pattern down pretty tight & all these guys with him... pretty damn good.

I've seen a lot of shows in my life, but these guys were hands down the most mind blowing thing I've ever seen. I still don't know how they were able to pull off half of what they did.

These guys are incredible. So glad to see Jazz Fusion of this quality alive and well today:)

top stuff,been a fan of squarepusher since his early days in stoke newington,could allways hear the jazz rock fusions influences,wicked band

I start my every day with this tune banging on full volume.

I play it in the wagon. 😎

oh goddamn i would love to see more of Squarepusher's material performed like this

Великолепно! Браво! Настоящие мастера!!!

this is exactly what i possibly could have wanted from squarepusher in 2016. a live shobaleader band playing squarepusher songs. amazin

Just mindblowing. One of the greatest musicians ever. So rich, so complex, SO TRUE... You can hear dozens of beeps and details per second, in an apparent random chaos, but every single note, every single little noise, every single arrythmic sound is perfectly placed. There is no chaos at all on this absolut chaos. This is a complete masterpiece.

Tremendously stupendous. I was boppin in my chair.

Tom’s a genius, he is the instrument - very inspiring 😎👊

The musicianship. These guys are incredible. Please play shows in the US!!!!!

Straight jazz!!! Perfect, in every way.

I still can't believe this finally happened

Outstanding version. Great bass, great drumming, great rythm of an already classic of squarepusher.

Return to Forever

Saw them Friday night. Mind blowing

Saw Squarepusher live a couple of times many years ago and often wondered if he’d ever put his wonderful, crazy choonagé into a band situation... This is awesome! Cheers Tom, peace ✌️

Saw them LIVE in Montreal and it was AMAZING !

omg why is this new to me? :) first night w shobaleader, reexperiencing the possibilities i heard on my walkman 20+ years ago. squarepusher muse of my life

Some really class compositional tweaks.

This makes me so happy.

squarepusher with a live band. been thinking is it actually possible for years. thank you for proving it is possible. a live drummer playing a sample of a live drummer programmed

Damn tight.

Beyond Heavy! Amazing another tour with Live Action!! Please come to Montreal Again ! Long Live The Pusher!

Jazz gig from the deep space.

Amazing artist! Definitely one of my all time Favs!

Okay, I hate walking from Penn Station to brooklyn venues, but I will do it for Squarepusher because I love this man

Gave me multiple eargasms.

soo cool yes

It seems like I've been waiting years to hear these songs performed live with a band...oh wait, I have

this would have fit right in with the jazz fusion movement of the 70's-80's return to forever weather report jaco pastorius brand x etc

Gangsta beats

Now this is what we need..... especially in 2021 come on!

They are just awesome!! Killed it!

I've waited close to 16 years to see this. I will see you dudes in nyc...i cant believe its finally happening. :D \m/

Simply the best

1:28 Glad to see someone else arrived at this fill too during that part. That's how I always liked to play it and it's what a proper jazz fusion drum track would do too I think.

what a beautiful thing !

Please come to Portland, Oregon? Pleeeeeease??

PLEASE come to LA.

Killer!!

yeah!

At 3:03 I am most certainly going to sample that, also 4:07 has Jaco Pastorius written all over it.
