@@raptorbandarchivehe's an excellent drummer for sure! Sam Wilkes is a BEAST on bass too! I don't always like the mixes, sometimes they seem to have the drums too loud. However I love the sound of the fast RnB fusion jazz kind of stuff. It reminds me of Dirty Loops, Snarky Puppy, Vulfpeck, Scary Pockets, those kinds of groups, which is great company to be in.
That's because live sound engineers always bury the vocal. They're too scared of feedback, and hate vocals because they're all amateur guitarists or drummers. Or something.
I wish I was young again. This is monstrous live playing. I've been a fan now since I 'discovered' them 7 months ago. As a musician of some years and seen everything and found everything too boring for words, seeing these guys play has been an inspiring revelation. I want to be young again. I'm 63 next birthday.
Yip, I'm 56 and travelled to London to see the gig last year. There's always great stuff out there just waiting to be found. More power to you guys and thanks so much for coming to Europe.
That's awesome. So glad you came down to O2 Islington, your support is everything. May I add, my mother was dancing on top of a chair at the back. She's 63!
@@ratjar7025 Couldn’t be more wrong. It’s Shawn Hawk. He goes by Shawk. Tony doesn’t like to speak of him; rough family past dealing with heirarchy. Shawking, really.
Thank you so much for posting some high quality footage of the Knower Combo online! I've been waiting to see them in HD like this for so long. Thank you thank you thank you!
It's funny how things work. I discovered new artists (Domi & JD Beck) and Thundercat through them. In paraller, I discovered Vulfpeck and through them I reached out to Louis Cole. I started to follow Louis Cole to then know Knower just to see that Dennis Hamm, Thundercat's keyboard player, is playing keyboard with Knower. Crazy.
Hard to even know what to say about this. So much energy and raw talent. It makes me think of the 90s, complaining about the death of fusion/progressive jazz that showed so much promise in the 70s. But maybe I spoke too soon. With bands like Snarpy Puppy and Knower and Vulfpeck and Corey Wong and Louis Cole's solo work and so on, "contemporary, progressive jazz, fusion" is alive and well.
Yeah. Though I'm more a vintage prog rock guy, since the eighties the idea of virtuosity on your instrument has been downplayed for decades. These hard funky breakbeat influenced jazzers are reigniting the flame
Greetings from Wichita Kansas. The home of PIZZA HUT. Love the shirt, G. I just recently discovered y'all and wanted to say thank you for restoring my faith in unique music. Boundless talent, grooves like no other, and FUN! I can see that you enjoy what you do. God Bless you. Respect and much love to ya's.
THE BEST PERFORMANCE BY FAR - ANOTHER LEVEL !! Take it from me, even the artist PRINCE would have been moved by this, very few reach this spiritual level in music.
Cuando pensé que todo estaba perdido, aparecen ustedes y me devuelven la tranquilidad que tendremos buena música para rato. Muchas gracias muchachos!!!
I saw this Blue Whale gig and it was completely off the hook, wish they'd post the entire set. Killer LA homecoming show last night at the El Rey... they were funny & on fire as always. Gendel & Hamm were MIA.... will they return?
COME JOIN THE KNOWER / LOUIS COLE DISCORD: discord.gg/h3darfx
Finally Genevieve’s voice is mixed loud enough. Great video!!!
True.
I would kill to hear a this quality live version of Around: they all suck
Louis Cole is my favorite mix/master artist. So good. Finally something different after so many years of stuff being mixed the exact same way

What a nice message. Youth never leaves us with energy and love like this! I hope KNOWER will be playing in the background of your birthday event!
Nothing can stop you.
same here. 55 now but this is the kind of band I'd have been front row at all their gigs....or playing in their band!
Yip, I'm 56 and travelled to London to see the gig last year. There's

guys and thanks so much for coming to Europe.

Knower sounds like what every Sega Genesis game soundtrack was TRYING to sound like.
This might explain why I love them so much. I like to think Louis and Genevieve heard Toe Jam and Earl and Sonic 2 and made a band
Yup. Nearly two years on and this is still basically the best thing on the internet. Bless this shit...
Amen.
I'm back 2024! 👍
Timeless shit...
Louis, his playing, his compositions, and arrangements all kick major arse. Such incredible energy, syncopation, musicianship, technique, etc.
The energy in this is through the roof
... and then some
Best Genevieve vocals in this vid imo, amaaaaaazing
Damn, this would be lethal to play in the car. That rhythm section would have me driving flat out before I knew it. Wicked, wicked stuff!!
This might be the best footage we have of Knower... including from Knower themselves! Whoever edited this, you are amazing.
Thank you, baby.
I find it annoying, I wish they just showed the band playing. the editing is distracting and you can't see everything.
@@pelgervampireduck tough shit
@@area51pictures Amazing editing...how many vid-cams capturing at once on this specific song ?, all hand held ?
you deserve it !!! @@area51pictures
Effing fantastic 🇬🇧 luv from U.K. 76 year old music fan who thought he’d seen it all !! This is MARVELOUS 🎉❤👍
Saw the keyboard player play with Thundercat.That guy can shred!
Dennis Hamm sure does!
What's their name? I love Steven Brunner
@@JesseRyan his name is Sean Hawk. It's Tony Hawk's younger brother
@@ratjar7025 Tony hawk doesn't have a brother Sean...why you trolling?

11/10 editing, sound, film. just awesome.
That "Oh my god!" at 6:00.
Absolutely stunning live singing
This live mix is how it should be done.
Energetic as hell! The rhythms go directly to feet and arms!
Kudos to the person holding the camera for not being tempted to shake all the time!
There's more than one (:
better and better! this is the best live version so far!
Thank you so much for posting some high quality footage of the Knower Combo online! I've been waiting to see them in HD like this for so long. Thank you thank you thank you!
this makes me want to run 7 miles in this 90 degree heat
Your heart would be working overtime for sure
Genevieve sings so good! Not only beautiful, but also very well! Luis Cole? He is a monster! And the guys, that now I know, are incredible!
Oh, that bass line.. makes me stankfaced every time I hear it, Sam Wilkes' basstone with octaver is
something branded for me.
Best live version I've seen of "Overtime" forever... And I have seen thousands!! Thank you!
Love these guys, and this is one of the best live videos on UA-cam! I can't believe it doesn't have 1million+ views.
This is some good video editing.
why thank you kind stranger
Good!? It's AMAZING! And SO FUNNY!
Knower will be opening for RedHotChiliPeppers this week in Milan, Rome, in Poland and Latvia---wish I could be there!!!!!!!!
Amazing live version!!! the edit is spot on too!
Bob Wilson a amazing drummer from the legendary band "Seawind" among audiences taking pleasure :) !
My moonization Is that Bob @3:10? Very cool if so.
0:41 that "woooo" added +5 extra funk
Ain't being funny but is this the best keys solo in documented Knower history? Mr Wilkes seems to bounce off it extraordinarily too. Stupendous!
Wonderful!! Knower's live performances deserve this high quality of footages/videos!

I could listen to this over and over, Great band and great live performance. Thanks for posting!!

Don't know about Vulpeck being fusion jazz, more like fusion funk for those cool cats
Yup... This is still bangin'.
These guys are fucking awesome!
Love this! Serious production quality too
Pretty sure that that dude plays keys for Thundercat as well, what a beast
Dayum right. His name is Dennis Hamm
how did I miss this ! HQ knower live, freaking awesome
Bro Dennis Hamm needs to release some albums as a band leader holy shit.

Insane stuff ! And the guy from the audience shouting "Oh my god" at the end was in perfect time ! 😁
Genevieve giving it all!

That's just fantastic
Absolutely incredible! My new favourite band!
Thank you, Songlolo Music and Knower. You rule.
Looking forward for some What's in Your Heart Live (:
Nice, you can hear them nicely on this one.
Props to the video editor!
One of the best covers of this song ! Superb and energetic
LOVE the keyboard solo!
This just jumps out and moves you. It's passionate and engaging, and you just know that everyone on stage is right on tempo, it's awesome
Fabulous version !!!!!!
Well done everyone! Such an incredible video.
This band is absolutely fantastic. I don't even have the words for that. Either one of them is talented as fuck.
This is the definition of a kick ass live band. Gosh that kicks ass bad.
Absolutely smokin! Really nice work on the audio and video to capture a great performance!
Cuando pensé que todo estaba perdido, aparecen ustedes y me devuelven la tranquilidad que tendremos buena música para rato. Muchas gracias muchachos!!!
Funktastic!
This is the one that should be on their channel
...there will be more Javier. :)
first time i hear 'em live with a decent mixing. people tend to leave the voice too low every time. this one sounds great
True. It's great to hear Genvieve's voice properly foregrounded.
i love genevieve chaotic energy
I saw this Blue Whale gig and it was completely off the hook, wish they'd post the entire set. Killer LA homecoming show last night at the El Rey... they were funny & on fire as always. Gendel & Hamm were MIA.... will they return?
Been a while since I watched this. Needed to come back to check... Yup. Still good. This music is good.
That was insane!
This is their best song!
The editing makes me think of the Cowboy Bebop intro. Was that an inspiration by any chance ?
saw CBBB afterwords and immediately fell in love
@@area51pictures 321 lets jam
#PizzaHut
#PizzaGate
Fluffy The Government knows when you Pizzagate
What is this?
LOL !

Gienevieve is such a great performer, and such a babe too

They're a dream team, right!?
Hot!! por fin un directo con buen registro de sonido!, tremendo!

Great drummer+Great bassist+Great keyboardist+Great Sax player +Great voice

Funny after commenting on this about a year ago I'm actually gonna see them in Glasgow next month, ya dancer!
WHOLLY SHIT!!!....yeah i can thank music again for coming back around....was worried for a while with drake etc.....this is a super jam
Is that Thundercat’s keyboard player?
Yes
Just ridiculously good on every level. That is all.
So, if you like this, then you'll like their upcoming dates:
bandsintown.com/knower
Do they feel like playing with Vulf in Dublin in September? I think I'd die
KNOWER are going to be in Dublin Nov 17 @ The Sugar Club. Come and Rage!
Seen them in Dublin twice and they were amazing
Banging!
this is insane... Love the crew
EXCELLENT BRAVO FROM FRANCE
The perfect combo !
I haven't decided if Louis Cole is a funky genious or a sick man yet. Still: This is the grooviest thing in UA-cam today.
dayum genevieve
dang....love this live. !
The audio here is excellent man is there any more songs from this show because you did an Immaculate job.
Unglaublich. Thanks for The beasty beats.
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh man do it!!!!!!!!!
best mix
hells yeah! it's mixed by Eric Persing, the founder of spectrasonics :)
@@SongololomusicGlobal I had never heard of him before. I listened to his work and it was wonderful. Thank you for telling me about it.
Louis and Thundercat are their own best "hype man"! Lol
Outstanding
Phenomenal version!
Clean AF !
I like this keyboarder, very cool, who is it? One of those solos which can drive somebody mad who doesn't like Jazz :-) Great!
Power Light it's Dennis Hamm on keys. He's total beast mode. He also plays with Thundercat!
@@sanasounds I knew I recognized him. 👌
This band is amazing.
