I've said it before and I'll say it again, Devin and Anneke could sing the ingredients list to a packet of cheese and onion crisps and make it sound fucking epic.
Amen....52.... found Devin thru Dream Theater, Animals as Leaders.. doing interview with Rick Beato.... Devin is refreshing to say the least. LOVE'EM! And Anneke is sooo very easy to watch move..
Why? When I was studying music in college we used to do 6 shows a day. Two in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening. This went on for 6 months. It would have went on through the summer holidays too, if we agreed to it.
@@mixodorians12 Merely doing two shows in a day is not the issue. I bet virtually all house bands do that. I am talking about touring with one group doing a particular genre of music doing a show then being asked to travel to a different venue to perform with another band playing a whole different genre of music without having had the benefit of rehearsals etc with the second band. (because the performer was on tour with band #1 at the time.) Devy's stuff is complex at the best of times and technologically challenging to perform. To be able to do that show - basically cold?....
being metalhead for almost 10 years and getting to know Devin´s music just now makes want to regret those 10 years of listening to all kinds of metal subgenres trying to find what fits me most, because he has it all, it is heavy, powerful, it has energy, tons of varieties, vocals are insane, like how the f**k could i miss this??
+magio xjazek I totally agree, yet I remain loyal to some good gothic metal. I actually just discovered Devin Townsend earlier today thanks to Spotify, but I already know it'll be one of my all-time fav bands.
Massive fan of Strapping Young Lad but this is on another level. Both Devin and Anneke could sing the back of an instant mashed potato packet and make it sound epic.
well put, saw Devin last night in New Orleans, told my wife as I left the house, not sure, but I have a feeling I'm gonna be a part of something epic tonight, she said We don't have $$ for bail
No matter how many times I listen to the Retinal Circus...every time...something inspires this 58 year old man....when I play this album for my friends that are my age they are totally mesmerized (blown away) by the artistry of this magnificent composer and the musical talent he associates himself with.....Anneke Van Giersbergen is a treasure !!
+Anni M i looked at your page. i find it very interesting that you know so much about dtp! seen your treatment vedios and was wondering how you are doing? u commented not long ago so i hope all is well. keep rockin you hippie!
+D Rock Hi Thank you for the post. I adore Devy, even saw him briefly in Toronto last year (was trying to find my son and the security guards let me in. Devy had just ripped into Kingdom and i nearly fell over, since it is among my top 10 DT tunes). Treatments have changed to something else and we are waiting to see if they have any effect. Putting up a new vid soon And yep, this old hippie shall walk on home, boy ;-)
I was a little late discovering DTP and Devin Townsend in general. Thankfully one of those trips through youtube that usually ends up in a waste of time led me to a gold mine! I think I have a new favorite.
Hi, TheMastabaPrime, are you in North America? 'Cause they are on tour. They just finished playing western Canada and Minneapolis and are now heading into the southern states.
lol there is no "too late" when it comes to discovering music unless you're actually laying on your deathbed, scrolling through Devin's entire discography whilst realising you probably won't have enough time to listen to all of it..
For people who are upset about Anneke being back in the mix, Devin said there was a problem during the show where her mic was picking up the cymbals in a bad way. For this DVD release he had to mix them out of her vocals which is a fucking nightmare of a process and I personally think he did about as good a job as anyone would've. I'm sure Dev would have her vocals mixed higher than his if he had his way.
Fantastic thumping anthem of a song..and boy can Devin chime..puts all those other so called front men to shame . he is the man, he loves performing and give it the beans every time, magic...
Jeez.. everywhere you go there's love for Anneke, I showed my Mom a solo song of hers, she fell in love, too... Anneke must be the type of girl who leaves vehicle accidents behind her when walking about. Beautiful soul.
Anneke and Devin's musical partnership has produced awesome tracks such as this, Numbered, and Grace... Imagine if they put out a whole album of songs that good... The Earth would melt!
Inspirational, lifting melodies here. The big lift is when they combine their ultra vocal harmonies to a level of hope and strength. This is the uktimate in power metal in that it inspires inspiration. Thank y'all for that!❤❤❤❤
If someone uploads a video with that little section being looped for say... some 5 minutes straight with a Devin's song as soundtrack, I believe that it will get viral in no time...
I am convinced that Devin Townsend could be a cult leader after seeing this. I don't mean that in a negative way, either. This whole song/performance was just mesmerizing! Saw him years ago w/ SYL, that was an awesome concert, but that was nothing compared to this.
”So get up, get up, get up, get up. Now DE-CON-STRUCT!” followed by bossa-nova chants over a caveman riff. Gets me everytime. Simple, original, ingenious eclecticism.
The sound is thick, and the entire band apparently knows how to use their instruments consistently, but melodies? Let's not fool ourselves, they are between primitive and non-existent here, with all due respect)
ANNEKE's stage presence with this band is so encompassing!!! Unique!. Amazing! Soooo different! 50% of the show. She should be part of the band, period.
Day off, chillin', listening to all sorts of musicz, had to stop cleaning and replay this song, Holy the Shit my guy! This man is an avatar for some deity.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Devin and Anneke could sing the ingredients list to a packet of cheese and onion crisps and make it sound fucking epic.
They could belch an epic song, and it would still sound good.
Lord Poshname Von Plumbingparts agreed. Or toilet paper.
Yeah
Well, look at "Grace"... tahts basically what it is ;-)
Word
I literally listen to this on a weekly basis these days...it's like a B12 shot, I swear! Love it!
Same. It’s friggin awesome.
yeah
edit: actually, stumble upon it every 6 months or so, then listen to it for 48 hours straight.
The whole album man - amazing. Nothing out there like it.
There should be a dedicated camera just filming Anneke dancing to the vibe of this amazing song.
That’s alright you’re only human ;)
The only person who's made real Metal look sexy as fuk!!!!
@@tomobrien4965 Did you even see Devin? (no homo)
Best idea on UA-cam....ever 🤘

Still loving that man in 2023 who is with me!
But what a woman in 2024 still here? 😅

Still here 2024 🫡

And my daughters name is Anneke, after this beautiful goddess❤@@magusmelanie828
90% of this comment section is now in love with Anneke
Cuz she's awesome.

Cute , very attractive🌷💚
The Captain she is so very talented and so sexy here!! Oh geez
Even if I were a woman, I would be in love with her !
I can't get enough of Anneke's voice. And I will never get enough of these two singing together.
Yes, they compliment each other perfectly.
I saw they together live on stage and it was one of the best things in my life
She is awesome yes!
Went to all 4 of these shows, with mates, this was the best gigging days of our lives. Thanks Devin, i'll never forget.
You're blessed. What tour was that !?
At the age of 53 I found Devin. I am totally fascinated of his music. Uncompareable... f... great!
I'm nearly 55, I discovered him through a mate about a month ago - it's like being reborn!!!! Absolutely in another dimension. Can't get enough now.
Checking in at 54 and yep, this guy is amazing.
Amen....52.... found Devin thru Dream Theater, Animals as Leaders.. doing interview with Rick Beato.... Devin is refreshing to say the least. LOVE'EM! And Anneke is sooo very easy to watch move..
@@gskhaladonchecking in as well at ripe young age of 65 I saw Devin play here in New Zealand around 4 yrs or so ago - I love him!❤❤❤❤
Same here. Too bad he hasn't found God yet. Keep striving, Devin!
I think I'm in love with Anneke van Giersbergen.
Join the club, buddy.
everybody loves anneke.
get in line !
Devin's heavy metal tinkerbell
22 years and counting.
Anneke’s hair should have its own channel.
So hard to believe that Anneke was performing her second show that night. She had a gig with her own band earlier. Remarkable.
Why?
When I was studying music in college we used to do 6 shows a day. Two in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening.
This went on for 6 months.
It would have went on through the summer holidays too, if we agreed to it.

Massive fan of Strapping Young Lad but this is on another level. Both Devin and Anneke could sing the back of an instant mashed potato packet and make it sound epic.
You should check out the band that puts him on the map - Strapping Young Lad, fine art disguised in the coat of metal
well put, saw Devin last night in New Orleans, told my wife as I left the house, not sure, but I have a feeling I'm gonna be a part of something epic tonight, she said We don't have $$ for bail
oh, by the way, I was in full monster make up with the black veins crawling up my left arm, good times,
Anneke and Devin sound the best.......Awesome Duo
sheesh, idk, figured they were married ;)
That first harmony absolutely took my breath away. I'm in shock. This is one hell of a duo vocally
The best. There's no better.
I found Devin through dream theater. I’ve definitely been missing out for many years. The best duo I’ve probably heard
That's funny. I found Devin while browsing Dream Theater as well!
me three
I think Devin should do a collab with Epica, or at least with Simone.
I think its kinda funny i found devin thru Dethklok because of gene hoglan
1:50 one of those awesome moments in music
Anneke van Giersbergen is absolutely iconic. She can be my femme fatale anytime!
Where has Devin Townsend been all my life? I have a man crush, and I don't care who knows about it!
This is Epic !! Devin rules, who else thinks Anneke is gorgeous !! :)
Metalhead Perth SEXY GORG!!!
Devin and Anneke are simply perfection.
1:50 That combination between Devin and Anneke makes feel my soul completely alive!
No matter how many times I listen to the Retinal Circus...every time...something inspires this 58 year old man....when I play this album for my friends that are my age they are totally mesmerized (blown away) by the artistry of this magnificent composer and the musical talent he associates himself with.....Anneke Van Giersbergen is a treasure !!
I believe he's 42.
Duane Klaming I believe that too. But, Nigel stated that he, himself is 58. I don't think he asked or stated how old Devin is.
guitarsolos72
That is correct sir !!
Devin is only 42
I'm 58.....
Annake is such a doll...she and Devin make a fantastic vocal duo.
Both of them are easy on the eyes, too ;)
True! UwU
Anneke's dancing in this performance makes me feel things
Evertirme I watch this video, it gets better and better ❤❤❤
I have to say that this is one of the best heavy metal songs I’ve ever heard. No guitar wanking in sight. Brilliant.
Devin is from another part of the universe ;)
He's from the Omniverse
+Joshua Elsner And he's just looking for a 'Bit of Fun' or so Ziltoid said.

Anneke. She is even more unimaginable than back in the Gathering days. How is that possible. Devin. Thank you for the music you bring us.
Gets better with every listen
DEFINITION OF A BANGER.
I was a little late discovering DTP and Devin Townsend in general. Thankfully one of those trips through youtube that usually ends up in a waste of time led me to a gold mine! I think I have a new favorite.
Once you discover the magic of Hevy Devy you will be lost forever in his music. Rejoice!!
Hi, TheMastabaPrime, are you in North America? 'Cause they are on tour. They just finished playing western Canada and Minneapolis and are now heading into the southern states.
TheMastabaPrime took the words right out of my mouth, I first heard of him in 2011
lol there is no "too late" when it comes to discovering music
unless you're actually laying on your deathbed, scrolling through Devin's entire discography whilst realising you probably won't have enough time to listen to all of it..
Same here. "Discovered" his music this year and haven't been the same since.
You really cannot get better than this live... The groove of the band and the mingling of voices is sheer perfection, astounding!
I think i was more than 700 concerts but to see Anneke and Devin togheter was the best thing of my life
i have have always wanted to here these two sing together ! i love it!
2021 And I never get tired of listening to you, I love you, Devin and Anneke

This instantly lifts my mood, what a gift
3:07 one of the best vocal part of metal music history🥰😳🎤
ANNEKE and DEVIIN is THE BEST colab I could imagine so far.
I will never forget the show at Summerbreeze... absolute awesome
the fucking pipes on this man always amaze me.
I love it when dev smiles :)
At this point I don't even think it's healthy, the amount of times I watch Devin's live shows in rotation.
Just can't get enough of it !! Hevy Devy is metal's class act.
Devin Townsend is the most genius musician since Ludwig van Beethoven
Dimmu Borgir tho...
I watch this a lot..... A LOT
CARPNMETAL me too
CARPNMETAL I am addicted!!! LOL
Awesome! Truly awesome.
This song and performance makes me happy.
RIGHT? :D So much positive energy here!
Just what i need
guitar sound is f*****g awesome, wall of sound
It's amazing that only 1,434,246 have seen this by 2021 while it has been here since 2012.
Anneke is just perfect

If this isn't in everyone's top 100 greatest metal live moments of all time, get your head checked. It's in my top 10.
Fuck yeah 🤘🤘🤘
Sure is, for old bald guys like me, anyway. Funny, a kid introduced me to Devon...
Waoooo!!!! Awesome.Thank UA-cam to show me and see one of the best song in duos for metal. Pure energy!
Anneke looks mesmerising
Anneke is of course just mesmerising. And honestly one of my very favorite songs from Devin.
Love Anneke van Giersbergen FOREVER
F***ing Massive ! Epic ! Anneke&Devin's voices together = golden
I discovered Devin through Anneke... that just proves how awesome she is.
Inspirational, lifting melodies here. The big lift is when they combine their ultra vocal harmonies to a level of hope and strength. This is the uktimate in power metal in that it inspires inspiration. Thank y'all for that!❤❤❤❤
I haven't heard anything this good in years. The world needs more music like this.
Isaac Shemp I couldn’t agree more with you
2 of the best vocals in this universe....
a math teacher introduced me to devin, he spoke of him as if he were a mythical creature.... he wasnt wrong IMO lol
How the hell i missed Devin Townsend until now? This is epic!
welcome in the new world, the one with Devin on ur side, and it feel way much better!
Just caught this guy this week. WOW. Feel like, "why haven't I heard them before? ?" Lots of catching up to do!!! What a crazy huge catalog! !!?
John Graboski
Same here Bro
3:56 is all anyone needs to know.
perfectly put...
exactly! She's gorgeous
If someone uploads a video with that little section being looped for say... some 5 minutes straight with a Devin's song as soundtrack, I believe that it will get viral in no time...
That, and a little look she gives at 3:14... and I'm done.
This is my favorite DT video of all time, because of Anneke.
Massive in every way.
One of the truly great performances
I am convinced that Devin Townsend could be a cult leader after seeing this. I don't mean that in a negative way, either. This whole song/performance was just mesmerizing! Saw him years ago w/ SYL, that was an awesome concert, but that was nothing compared to this.

for as thick as the sound is, those melodies are just gorgeous...
just like annake.
SirManDudeGuy1 That she is...hard not to fall in love with that gal isn't it?
The sound is thick, and the entire band apparently knows how to use their instruments consistently, but melodies? Let's not fool ourselves, they are between primitive and non-existent here, with all due respect)
@@qpavlov1The melodies are there. Listen to the song.
@@qpavlov1 You can't hear the melodies? Umm...
Once again, THANK YOU DEVY! \m/
I think this is the first guy ive ever enjoyed MORE live.
El baile de anneke es sencillamente una delicia
Mind blown....
Anneke and Devin = Yin and Yang
Together they become something amazing, something (I dare say) perfect!
3 days later.....and I can't stop listening to this!!!!
Oh my god that woman has VOICE!
She does, but try this one 😎 Apocalyptica & Epica - Rise Again (Official Video)
Annekes dance moves are epic
Wow I just DISCOVERED this. AMAZING!

two of the best voices in rock
I'm not a big fan of female voices in rock but I must admit she is fantastic.
Tilburg 2023 Anneke can’t miss 😁🤘🙏
Now THIS is an example of real talent. Fuck me. I just barely came across this group too!
Anneke is the greatest compliment to Devin ever!
Real music,by talented artists,,,
Devin at 3:40 lol 😂 God Bless that man
A beautiful monster!!
Anneke has the voice of an Angel.....
You know they are giving it their all, you can see the sweat glistening on Mark Cimino's guitar! Awesome 😄
He has a Klingon playing bass, a true axe warrior!
Don’t you ever disrespect the Skullet!
Yeah epic...good on you Devin
Anneke......is something else.
WONDERFUL !!!!!! Paradise for me......
