@@croneskull The band Lynx, which included the bassist for Battles, was pretty close to a Don Cab style/sound. There are a handful of songs from a live gig here on YT. Pretty fucking awesome. ua-cam.com/video/rmz-4C9QjvU/v-deo.html
There's just something about The Peter Criss Jazz that speaks to me for some reason, maybe it's the overdub of guitars, the stuttering Bass Line or Damon's drumming, It has to be my favorite Don Cab song ever.
yes and yet it doesn't sound like they're really having to try does it? it just seems effortless. coupled with the fact that by all accounts they didn't really get on, it's an absolutely remarkable achievement.
i swear when i saw that the bassis just had to do one single strum in peter crisis jazz instead of "hammering" the bass itself as i thought it was done, something changed in me lol. awesome concert.
man, im just a 21 year old guy whos not from USA and wants to see in the flesh live this lineup of don cab performing lets face it pal you didnt need an eye surgery... it's a pretty simple dream
The day this was filmed, I turned 6 years old. We were on a family holiday to Disneyland Orlando, which was a big deal coz we lived in Ireland. The guy working the Rock n Rollercoaster let us skip the queue coz it was my birthday. I hear more of Ian's Battles sound here than I do on Don Cab studio recordings. Cool.
Tbf, on the actual albums, they had two guitarists. The second dude had left the band by the time American Don came out. It's pretty insane Ian Williams was able to take over the part of a whole other guitarists just using looper pedals.
I miss yesteryears music today’s music is just um not the same need Slint polvo Don and all the other great bands we know and love that bring us to this beautiful video
From drumline/marching band experience, you memorize insanely long unrepetitive scores by playing them literally every day for hours and hours each day. We would be outside from 5am to sundown drilling again and again and again only really stopping for water breaks and a lunch.
I have these same melodic phrases memorized the same reason he does, repetition. Hundreds of album listens and learning to play them all over time. Still working on that
The American Don album is one hell of a musical statement, and Damon Che, Ian Williams, and Eric Emm were so damn good this live performance is arguably better. It's crazy how complex the loops are that Ian has to build in real time here as opposed to the polished sound of the album, you really get to see those classic songs broken down piece by piece.. Damon takes the compositions and pushes them too, past where you already thought was beyond humanly possible. Eric's work in songs like "You Drink A Lot of Coffee" is hella sick too, sometimes he gets forgotten in this power trio but that's some really inventive bass work, those ideas with the loops and harmonics is awesome. Love this unique band, wish I would've gotten to see them. Would really love to hear new stuff from any of these guys.
saw don cab on that tour in dc, was a great show. they really were on fire that night. can't believe that was close to the end. at that time, i was so into them... i just wanted more and more. battles is cool. would be into seeing them live sometime. new don cab w vox just doesn't do it for me, so i've avoided it.

Anybody know what pedal the bass is using on that first song. I could recreate the sound, but I was wondering if anybody knew exactly what it was. Thanks
Not sure because did not check it by myself yet. Such effect comes out BOSS delay pedal (i do not know which model exactly) when it pressed twice in short succession. I've read in comments to some Don Caballero live video here on youtube. And I'm interested too in this sound.
Ian Williams looks like that guy who is always late to work.
and yet probably one of the most efficient employees
18 years, and thousands of math rock bands later, no one sounds quite like this..
So tight. And yet, so loose..
i mean... battles? same guitarist though haha.

I blame opening tunnings and guitar tabs.
24 years to the day
I was there!
might be one of the best camera angles for a live show

turn it up guy whoever you are

big same dawg on that one
agreed
@@maniswolftoman It's the best part. lol
American Don tunes must've been exceedingly difficult to pull off live because Damon had to follow Ian's pedal literally the whole time.
Chris Knight I can imagine this led to some very frustrating practice sessions..
yes and yet it doesn't sound like they're really having to try does it? it just seems effortless. coupled with the fact that by all accounts they didn't really get on, it's an absolutely remarkable achievement.
also the way they deliberate 'toy' with phase at a few points, e.g. 9:27 (same on the record incidentally). beautiful.
poor ms. Che i think Damon was born drumming
They're the loosest sounding super tight band in existence. Everything sounds off the cuff but is the furthest thing from it
I've never seen Don Caballero live and I actually went to see Don Caballero live.
well, that's all but a distant memory from the looks of things.
Shellac, Arab On Radar, Rye Coalition, US Maple and some others played this too
i thought i recognized Albini in the background. makes sense why now.
what a show
Arab on Radar fucking slaps
This was the day I was born :)
The Stanimal great to see youngsters with great taste :)
same!
Same!
Keep on jamming

Thanks to whoever recorded this on my birthday 21 years ago love the gift
steve albini just chilling in the back
I love the guy sitting behind Damon shaking his head in disbelief.
The guy is steve albini
man this video was shot 2 years before i was born. what i would give to be around the time when these legendary math rock bands where at their peak
Eric Emm is my favorite bassist and this is my favorite Don Cab clip

thanks for your journal entry Jayden
One of the most if not the most influential mathrock bands (particularly in the west)
No one can touch them. They're not the tightest. It's something else and it can't be emulated.
I never knew this dude made all those sounds with like 3 pedals.
It's all in the looper.
Tbf, on the actual albums, they had two guitarists. The second dude had left the band by the time American Don came out. It's pretty insane Ian Williams was able to take over the part of a whole other guitarists just using looper pedals.
@@noesunyoutuber7680 :OOO which looper??

Icecream. Goes with celery.
Not sure what's louder...
Damon che
Or the bassists shirt.
I keep coming back to this video, its such a spectacular performance
This is fucking magical. I'd kill to see this live.
I miss yesteryears music today’s music is just um not the same need Slint polvo Don and all the other great bands we know and love that bring us to this beautiful video
You havent looked in the right place then
Dr D Musicalmasterrecords every decade has great music. you just need to find and discover it
Thanks sooo much im a big don cab fan!
thank you for the upload!
They pulled this off so amazingly
All we need this band, I believe in a World with Don Cab, always, all the time, thank you for post this video
Thx Accuradio !!
this is the show that tuned me onto my looper life w/battlesbetween goodandevol UA-cam
Insane work!
9:15 so there is Albini in the crowd...
They played the same show
He doesn't look impressed lol
he recorded all their records sooo...
he only recorded their debut and American Don i think.
I like In Utero
It's great to see Neil from the Inbetweeners enjoying his hobby of playing bass for a mathrock band...
Well Jay used to tour with Metallica and fill in for Kirk so he pulled a few strings and got him in
so good soooo goooodddd
Brilliantly done
still love it!!
Ok a friend told me to search this AND I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. THIS IS RAD.
Hacia años que nos los escuchaba. Alucinantes ¡ yeah ¡¡
Seria genial que volvieran a tocar
@@vibrantdragon3123 bua ya ves ¡
Best band ever
I was there!!!!!!!!!! Damon is a beast.
Was at this show! And the one below it. Saw SHELLAC here as well
Lovin the RIDE's "going blank again" shirt
Todavía no nacía cuando pasó esto xd,, que grandesss
Eric emm is very underrated
I’m so in love with this
How does Ian Williams remember all these long melodic phrases?
Playing them a lot.
because he wrote em

when you write something its alot easier to remember than when youre learning something someone else made
thist ist gold.
Insane!
13:03 bringing the fucking heat with the cymbals
+SuburbanLegend93 alluring
Those cymbals sound awesome
budget sabian cymbals
2nd songs intro is like a math rock waltz.
Still the kings
That was pretty cool.

Check out Battles it's almost a spiritual successor.
From OP's appraisal of Ian and Eric's work, I think Storm and Stress might be a better recommendation (both of them make up 2/3rds of the band)
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ian's guitar prowess is terrifying

this shit must sound amazing live
lol I'm just sittin here goin "I was in 10th grade" when I noticed this took place 20 mins away from me hahahaha
9:12 Steve Albini just chilling in the gazebo
nice
Man they smoked it! Che crushed it.
Damon is one of the greats
Good sound and camera work! Thanks for posting! Damon is a machine! Is that Steve Albini in the background behind the drum set?
Was thinking the same thing! He recorded American Don didn't he.
Michael Crabb Yeah, he did. Probably checking out the live version. Lol.
havenet albini sighting?
havenet yeah that's def Albini, I'm guessing Shellac played this festival also?
That sounds like a rad line-up. Damn, the Don Cab did rule, didn't they?
the guitarist is a chad he literally his tuning his guitar while the song is playing, that's a guitarist that gives no fucks
1:30 cool Ride shirt!
DRUMMER!!!
Cool
I was Ian Williams’s gum tech for this show.
us maple also played this same gig!
Judging by this video, Ian Williams' pedalboard consist of A Boss Chromatic Tuner, A Boss DD-3?, and Two Akai Headrush Pedals.
Math music, at its rawest form
✌️
12:40 is so freakin good
Goodbye Steve
-hello steve!
HOW DID HE KNOW THAT!?!?
rest in peace steve
2:00 that guy needs some coffee on a dailyyyyyyy❗
Woah, this was the day I was born...shit
Cool
Lucky
Anyone know what effect the bassist is using for that stutter effect?
Bills and Pils 🎵
Bom pacarai
Steve Albini is chilling in the background it appears, anyone else catch that?
How does the bass player change the repetitions of the delay so easy in the first song, which pedal is that?
Julio Dávila it’s a boss dd3, the speed is based on how fast you click the pedal
What pedal or which pedals is the bassist using at 8:47?
Tasty intro fills
Anyone spot Steve Albini in the background?
This is my first time hearing math rock and I am totally digging the drummer. Please help me with suggestions.

That machine gun sound right at the beginning. When he starts it and then stops it over and over.

It Might be a Boss dd3
Boss dd3 or dd6 both have hold functions as do the DigiTech digidelay
i think its tremolo, if you notice he is sustaining the notes.
That drummer’s filthy beat though...
DON CABALLERO > LIL XANAX
what kind of comparison is that???? LMAO
birthface I think that may be the joke
Pittsburgh's own.
Is that Steve Albini watching with his arms crossed behind Damon Che?
Yes.
