+MrR3WIND lol I also did a song for my pet cat months before he ran away because of our new place residence . I took care of him for 2 years , I will pay with my life just to see him again even though I think he's dead :(
+Zam Wam The same happened to me, a few years ago. About 5 months ago, i was walking through the street and i suddenly saw him, he was a really big and savage, but yet lovable, cat. We stared at eachother for about 20 seconds, he meowed then run away. It was a very special moment, thanks for making me remember it.
This may be one of the greatest jams between 3 brilliant musicians I have ever heard! Pounding crazy drums and fills, wicked keyboard solo, and dat bass groove! Thundercat's vocals! OMFG! Thundercat needs to keep this lineup and make a live album and a billion more studio albums with these dudes. They fuckin' rock!
+Ocean Sage If you like this, Check out "Return to Forever" with Chick Corea & Stanley Jordan. Not quite the same because it from 40 years ago but it's Jazz with a touch of spacey and prog rock.
+bmiller218 RTF features Stanley Clarke, not Stanley Jordan. Jordan is the new cat with the 2 guitars, also phenomenally talented, but Clarke is one of the godfathers of bass. RTF is sick tho!
+bmiller218 Stanley Clark is on RTF... Stanley jordan is a super gifted guitar player. Yes, It's a lot like RTF. Thundercat has said Clark is one of his close friends & Mentors.
Why do I feel like I went back to the 70's? Reminds me of a Buford concert I saw years ago with some more R&B ruffles. What's old is new again. In any case, nice to see good musicianship.
When the first piece of contemporary music you’ve found that reminds you of trippy Peter Gabriel-era Genesis is by a black dude that is into anime. What a cool world we live in. 😊😊😊
I found Jaco unlistenable, just weird spaced out electric base noises with no semblance of a melody or song. I know he’s got a legion of fans but I can’t get into it. Thundercat on the other hand...
@@SnyderChips07 No doubt about it. I'm not saying Tcat is better or worse, he just takes Jaco's riff's and applies them to very listenable music. Plus tcat's bandmates are on same level as him, which helps.
@@SnyderChips07 Plus the consensus seems that jaco is a "bass player's bass player" (if that makes sense), his music is just not that tangible to the common ear, which probably applies for myself. Looking at him noodling away with his instrument I have no doubt he's on some god-level for bass, lol.
I'm really glad they posted these videos, because it did not sound at all like this at the show... You could hardly make out anything with the way it was mixed. Which is really unfortunate, especially when he was reharmonizing and singing the ending theme to Adventure Time. I could hear a little bit of what was going on, but not nearly enough to really hear how he was embellishing the harmony/root movements.
That's crazy. I don't understand why sound guys are okay with everything being bloody muddy. Especially when it's for the sake of "feeling the bass." As a bassist it's incredibly annoying to have a sound ruined by too much bass, whether it's from the actual bass instrument or not...
Sometimes it's hard for the sound engineer because of poor acoustics, especially at low frequencies... This kind of music requires very short reverberation times to sound good and I'm guessing this hall doesn't have that quality. But I totally agree with what you're saying, muddy bass that masks everything is so annoying! :)
Finnur Pind It's also a matter of, "Yeah, it has to be ear-piercingly loud!!" A couple weeks prior The Bad Plus played there and it sounded absolutely great, but with Thundercat it was so much louder and everything just became too muddy. I totally agree about bands really needing different halls to truly sound spot on, but a good sound engineer should know how to make the best of a spot. The same has happened with Snarky Puppy. The first time I ever saw them they had the engineer (I think) that did their GroundUP record. He made a crumby venue sound absolutely fantastic and a big part of it had to do with the fact that my ears were not about to explode. As a result, a proper mix could be established. Ever since then, even in the same spot, they have had other guys and it's always insanely loud and muddy.
First time I've heard this....and I usually listen to totally different music....but this is heavy! Drummer is wicked. I know everyone hates genres / sub genres.....but, seriously what does this get classed as? Prog something fusion something lol? Wicked track! I ain't a musician, but you don't need to be to tell these guys are top quality!
The phrases and chording used on this song along with the live drumming reminds me of the songs off of Allan Holdsworth's IOU, which makes this my favorite kind of fusion.
yeah the drummer is obviously technically talented but it really blows how much he sped up the tempo so irregularly. I wish he could just take a step back every now and then and just play a straight half time backbeat
And, oh my god, that drummer.
his name is Justin Brown. Check him, he's great!!
pharoah
he's the older brother of thundercat ;)
Ronald Bruner Jr. is Thundercat's older brother, but that's Justin Brown in this video :)
Oh god, you're right. I confused them :)
Pierluigi Bizzini bruh lol
When you realize he wrote that to his cat...
MrR3WIND And it's still too dope.

Paws before Hoes.
Jazz is like the force.
The jazz is strong in those ones
Indeed
His voice is ridiculously on point
GuidoAnchovy B huh
First time hearing/seeing Justin Brown...friggin' KILLIN' IT on those damned drums, holy crap!
Unfriggen believable :)

Joe DiCosola Thundercat is just so dope!
i actually shed a tear when that piano synth droppped.
I love this live version the best!
I love watching people try to dance to this..
same.
Hehe. Even I'm like, "just move to the snare... oh wait..."
the moment you realize Tony Hawk plays keyboard with Thundercat...
Actually, Stacy Peralta's son, Austin Peralta played keys with him. RIP Austin Peralta
Taylour Rudzinski this was 2 years after he died
good one :-) Dennis Hamm is the keyboard player
@@NM-jn6cp mmmm
@@NM-jn6cp mmmmmmmmmmm
the lad just left of the drummers left shoulder at 1:28 railing a line haha
lmao good eye
Bruh!!! 😂
Intense tune to come up to
That or licking a blunt/rizla
haha nah I don't plug a nostril to roll a blunt
Tron Song is one of my favorite Thundercat songs. Seeing him live was awesome. I hope he comes to DC again.
Why do I feel like I went back to the 70's? Reminds me of a Buford concert I saw years ago with some more R&B ruffles. What's old is new again. In any case, nice to see good musicianship.
These guys are great, I discovered them just a few minutes ago. Lucky me!
Hey I just discovered this song.
Damn, straight fire. Thundercat has infused jazz with a funky shot of soul!
Oh my god. What did I just witness? That was incredible.
that drummer is kicking ass
thats Justin Brown, check him out
new drummer for the band OFF!
that keyboard solo jam reminded me of Mahavishnu Orchestra...shit, this whole song kinda reminds me of something off of Birds of Fire...
Yes!!!
Funny you mention it since the video for Walkin' ends with another Mahavishnu Orchestra style riff.
I kinda heard some Keith Emerson in that keyboard part. But yeah, that's some high-order cooking going on in all 3 instruments there.
probably one of the best live performances ever WOW
get me in touch with whoever the drummer sold his soul to because i want in
Sold his soul to practicing and metronomes
I'll draw up a contract for you XD
No backup singers nessessary! The man has serious vocal range!
I'm sorry I didn't find you earlier ! Man. O man. Thank you !
I saw Thundercat live in Bristol last year, this was the first track on the set list, sounded no less epic, great track to open a gig to
Man, I would love to have seen him collab with Alan Holdsworth!
Thundercat unfortunately never did but his keyboard player dennis played with alan for a while!
When the first piece of contemporary music you’ve found that reminds you of trippy Peter Gabriel-era Genesis is by a black dude that is into anime.
What a cool world we live in. 😊😊😊
Thundercat is an artist. His bass the paintbrush. My emotions; the canvas.
I'm getting teary eyed because I just found out this song is about his cat. Makes me miss my dog so much
Holyshit dude... like... HOLYSHIT!
Sick bass skills
This shit made me cry, so fucking amazing
Justin Brown, stellar.
Weather Report for 2017
I thought the same... Jaco Pastoriuscat 👍
I found Jaco unlistenable, just weird spaced out electric base noises with no semblance of a melody or song. I know he’s got a legion of fans but I can’t get into it. Thundercat on the other hand...
Richard Hodge jaco is one of tcats biggest influences ;-))
@@SnyderChips07 No doubt about it. I'm not saying Tcat is better or worse, he just takes Jaco's riff's and applies them to very listenable music. Plus tcat's bandmates are on same level as him, which helps.

guys don't even need to look at their instruments, one has his eyes closed, amazing skills really they're just one with their instruments

truth. saw him opening for Flylo in vancouver and had the same issue :/

Finnur Pind or shitty speakers are the usual culprit.

Love this song. I know his cat does too
His shows are so hilarious. His opening acts are like people he ran into on the street.

He is just sick wit it. Amazing.
Turbo Tron approves 9000 times.
Justin BrOwn on drumz-he Bangz!!
this guy is awesome. I will forever be a fan.
Saw him live in Orlando, always amazing. I love the fucking wolf thing he has on.
thundercat is fucking insane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he's the king.
0:29 yall aint hear that scared sounding "tron" in the background ☠
is this what heaven feels like
One of my favorite songs by Thundercat
I've got a feeling this guy's gonna be huge someday
Billy Bloomer he is pretty big. Kendrick Lamar collaborated with him.
Shivjeet Parthasarathy he actually did all the production on one of Kendrick's albums, if I'm not mistaken
Terrance Martin produced TPAB but thundercat was definitely a big part of the process, almost every bass line on the album is his.
Billy Bloomer you were correctb
Why does this remind me of the second Soft machine band, with Robert Wyatt on drums and voice. Same kind of feeling IMHO
Outstanding!
The phrases and chording used on this song along with the live drumming reminds me of the songs off of Allan Holdsworth's IOU, which makes this my favorite kind of fusion.
Yeah IOU is a good album. Gary Husband on drums.
Road Games is a good album too...
***** Thank you AnonsCrossfader, I was totally unaware of that particular album until now. But I will definitely be adding it to my collection.
"Tokyo Dream" is on Road Games. Classic Holdsworth.
I heard and thought the same. I saw this AH lineup in ‘85 with Chad Wackerman on the drums.

Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can't stop watching thundercat youtube videos!
It's almost like watching him play catch with the band fucking love it
AGUANTE EL TRUENOGATO!
reminds me of squarepusher with vocals.....
haha was expecting the smooth sound from the album... but i was blasted with breakbeats
justin's hands look like cute cat paws ! great drummer!
My favourite cat! Miauww.. 🤘🏿
justin!!!!!! straight kills
Ain’t gone lie, I can’t stop listening to this 🤦🏽♂️
that drummer!
You got me a little teary-eyed at the end there
I love kitties and Thundercat.
awesome fur hat
I swear Thundercat doesn't even look at the drummer to cue last hit at 4:21. #confurmedillumernarti
I love this so much.
sounds a little like the ending of Never catch me by Flying Lotus
Thundercat plays the bass on that track so it makes sense
Imagine playing this shit on RockBand or Guitar Hero. It'll be like the final (extreme difficult) mode. lol Love it!!!
0:56 *drooling over that beat*
nejlepší kapela na světě současnosti
Favorite song lately
tony hawk on the piano lmfao
This fuckin' drummer is unreal.
The drummer's so hardcore! This is great
thanks for the multiple drum cams!
Nightcap
Me: Intensive breathing
gawd dayumm
Is the drummer Ronald Bruner Jr? So amazing!
Nah, Justin Brown
Drummer going BRAZY
Goddamn those bass lines are fucking dank!
Thundercat and his boys bringing back '70s jazz-rock (before it got smoothed out and bland.)
Drummer speeding up the song..... Groove that shit dude!!!!
Bernie Worrell vibes with that keyboard solo.
yeah the drummer is obviously technically talented but it really blows how much he sped up the tempo so irregularly. I wish he could just take a step back every now and then and just play a straight half time backbeat
Well, that was amazing...
Actual chills
Who is his drummer? That guy is so frickin good! All of them are superbeasts, this is not normal musicianship
Justin Brown
Hyper Funk!!!
don't you
ever
leave me
donald
truuuuuuuump
This drummer is fucking ridankulous holy shit dude shredding!
Is there somewhere that has the full recording of this gig?
Super talent with zero effort
The cameraman should’ve been capturing dude on the keys during his solo
Groovy baby... YEAAAAHHHH!!!!
wooooooowwww!!!! so great!!!!!
that drummer gives me some kind of progressive feeling, like marco minnemann or something, nice!
Feeling the living hell out of this... but daaaaamn they are off beat with the dirty dancing.
love!!!!!
What genre is this even? Some experimantal jazzy soul?
fusion jazz
funck fuck fun fluff
its the wave, hummie.
kanskejonasidag1 It is called good music....🎶
kanskejonasidag1 It's called Space 🚀 Travel Jazz !
