London's freshest export Black Midi live from our London studio Sound brought to you by Void Acoustics - voidacoustics.com/ #BoilerRoom #LiveMusic #Music #Mix
Their music is impressive, but what really did it for me was the fact that this man wore a turtleneck for an hour long set at a place called "Boiler Room"
the first song of this performance is amazed me dude. im really beginner at drumming and idk what to learn to be this good hahaha he is such inspirational drummer like pridgen

jam 2 part 2 is an early version of "Number 5", according to their latest Maida Vale session at the BBC. it's really cool to see these songs develop in real time
I've never seen such an elaborate long form composition so completely driven by percussion. This drummer is a front man of Freddie Mercury status, without ever uttering a word.
I just saw them in SF a couple of hours ago. Amazing show. So many unexpected jams and grooves. Unfortunately they played so fucking loud that Matt blew his amp and they had to end the show early
they were playing john L for a long time before it was released, they even play an early version of the middle sections during a jam after of schlagenheim at the pitchfork music festival
gotta love that drummer i became big fan of that band in a short time i know they only will produce gold need to see them live, please come to brazil edit: omg, that's my most liked comment. thank you!! also, they were coming to brazil in march (2020), but covid19 came first. :(
46:07 so Hellfire was a thing back before even Cavalcade? Knew Sugar/Tzu went played unlisted at dozens of shows. This is sick. Geordie must write song lyrics way in advance for the tracks!
Hellfire was great as their third album. I'd honestly imagine the next album to be called "Witchcraft" or something with Magician as a 10 minute centrepiece.

La etapa más chingona de los Midi, como conectan sus rolas a través de los jams en este live en especifico es asombroso. Los sintes crean una atmosfera muy futurista, Jhon L (25:49) se siente como una carrera de Meteoro/F Zero

Vada especially when the drummer looks like he’s gonna lose a pound of water weight by the time the sets over lol.
The lead singer actually trains to mentally withstand discomfort. He turns the AC on in the winter and wears a jacket in the summer
just a classic greepster move
@@arloose1635 He's an unusual fellow. I wonder if he studied computer science......
Hahaha
Do you guys do weddings?
😂
It would be less noisy of a wedding party here in South Italy, for sure.
ok but no joke i would invite them to my weeding
I'd pay to attend that wedding. Just to listen their take on bmBm.
I love you
I’m amazed by the drummer and his fills, I have no idea how he stays in time
It’s all about knowledge and discipline
he doesn't stays in time, he IS the time
Saw a comment on another video that said he could take apart the drum kit, put it back together, and still be in time, and they're not wrong! lol
the first song of this performance is amazed me dude.
im really beginner at drumming and idk what to learn to be this good hahaha
he is such inspirational drummer like pridgen
Morgan Simpson is an absolute monster on the kit, and it’s amazing how much of a hidden gem he really is.

Everyone keeps praising the drummer as if they need to justify liking this band. The whole band is brilliant.
The question is why you feel the need to denigrate the drummer. Pretty weird. I mean, I have my theories, but...
@@BlackuLaLa I dont think you got the point of the message. Or then you're purposefully trying to start drama. Get something better to do, maybe?
The drummer is good, the rest are mediocre
@domestinger8805
Please, can you elaborate further on why the rest of the band may seem mediocre to you?
@@whitemouth8921 Because the drummer is the only member exercising any form of creativity. The rest are playing it safe or 'making noise'
Morgan Simpson will be looked at in 40 years the way people look at John Bonham today. Elite musician
God I hope
Unfortanely not.

@@juliehosier1777 Completely agree! I really love that riff...so menacing [ i added that to the list as well :) ]
I've never seen such an elaborate long form composition so completely driven by percussion. This drummer is a front man of Freddie Mercury status, without ever uttering a word.
every time they play bmbmbm it gets slightly more humorous
truest words
Xavier Garcia explain to me the exact definition of “real music”
@Xavier Garcia wym, this is pretty real
@Xavier Garcia you listen to Frank zappa, this is just a modern day Frank zappa
Ye
they just start. not even enough time for the dude to leave the stage after announcing them. they immediately captivate you. love this band.
Genuinely one of the best drummers I've ever seen
Same
I just saw them in SF a couple of hours ago. Amazing show. So many unexpected jams and grooves. Unfortunately they played so fucking loud that Matt blew his amp and they had to end the show early
Were they very interactive with you guys? Love these guys but I know nothing about their personalities lmao. I’d like to see them out there more
Christian Castellanos they don’t really interact with the crowd or say much.
@@theresnoway440 by this point them not saying anything is part of their "aura" which is fine by me really
@@theresnoway440 you can watch their new interview with anthony fantano to see some
@@manaooooOOOO lmao how far back they went on that

Still is

When i first saw Him on KEXP I was sure He was Frank Gallagher from Shameless.
@@karlheinzstockhatso i thought he was Jonathan Byers
i just like to watch
Lol "Johnny noooo!"
As much as I enjoyed how they sounded here, they sound way better now. That blows my mind
what a magnificent vocal delivery
totally hear influence from Talking Heads and Wall of Voodoo there.
It's so magnificent
What a magnificent purpose
I'd add Pere Ubu
Love how they teased John L to us all the way back in 2019
they were playing john L for a long time before it was released, they even play an early version of the middle sections during a jam after of schlagenheim at the pitchfork music festival
gotta love that drummer
i became big fan of that band in a short time
i know they only will produce gold
need to see them live, please come to brazil
edit: omg, that's my most liked comment. thank you!! also, they were coming to brazil in march (2020), but covid19 came first. :(
damn man, does nobody go to brazil or something
everyone needs to see them live. one of the best performances ive seen in my entire life
CURSEDTV plzzzzz Come to Brazil!!
They're unbelievable live. Unbelievable.
plis
They already had John L in the bag and we didn't know.
Just noticed that haha these dons are ahead of the game!
I loved it when I first heard this performance. We are witnessing something special
I think they played parts of John L like the week before schlagenheim released
You can hear some of Slow right after and right before bmmmm
46:07 so Hellfire was a thing back before even Cavalcade? Knew Sugar/Tzu went played unlisted at dozens of shows. This is sick. Geordie must write song lyrics way in advance for the tracks!
yeah geordie has been saying hellfire as like a jokey kinda phrase since 2019
I think it's cause his dad apparently thought hellfire would be a good name for their debut album.
Hellfire was great as their third album. I'd honestly imagine the next album to be called "Witchcraft" or something with Magician as a 10 minute centrepiece.
and there’s a bit of it in their kexp at home video it caught me so off guard i love sugar/tzu so much
@@davidparsons97i think it will be called lumps, and eventually if bm keeps going they will spell out schlagenheim
Spread the word of this band where you can. Such an original band with an important message.
What message? Curious to know.
I’d assume the message is be unique and don’t conform to what’s popular
First time ever listening to these guys and I’m getting heavy Primus vibes, especially on bmbmbm.
You heard the new album?
the mix engineer needs a knighthood
Exept for when he cut all the sound for a second
@@handwriting8804 that’s only one minor mistake in an hour long performance that was otherwise amazingly mixed. cut them some slack
The Radiohead of our era.
7:52 is one of the coolest things ive seen live
London crowd even more jaded than NY crowds. Classic. This would have been outrageous to witness live.
I love rock and roll music with guitars
Yeah rock n roll with a washboard and triangle is just rubbish, awful.
Love the beatles references in bmbmbm
4:56 dropping the snare down
Just had a thought. Imagine Morgan and thundercat just jamming.. I feel like their styles would suit each other hmmm
Justin Brown, the guy who plays with Thundercat, can hold its own against Morgan, super fast player
@@MrQuimDosMontes Yeah Justin Brown is insane. Thundercat also plays with Thomas Pridgen sometimes too
Don’t forget Thundercats brother, Ronald Bruner Jr is a killer drummer
That jam after Of Schlagenheim is one of the best things I've ever heard
Truly the best live performance I've seen by a contemporary 2020s band. Blown away! Morgan Simpson is incredible!
sounds like fugazi feat david bowie feat soft machine
Hey thats not bad of a description
M.K.S PMA thanks mate!
With lashings of Sonic youth
@@NP-lz2bx Don't forget the Adrian Belew era King Crimson splash
i have said it once and i'll say it again. this band is lucky to have this drummer
yes Morgan is incredible but that's too simple. the whole band is fucking amazing, they are lucky to have eachother
there's an odd blip somewhere between 37:15 and 37:16 where it cuts back to the lead vocalist for a frame?!?! I thought I was having a stroke

What did you do to them?
Edward what did you do to them answer us
Does anyone know what he did to them
i dont think we'll ever know
Oh gosh you so wacky
I love how each song kind of blends in to the next! Amazing band
I'm here for the drummer as per usual.
such a cool band. one of the more innovative rock bands of lately
Could possibly becime the most important band of the next decade
agreed. especially with that drummer
@@carstarsarstenstesenn 100% the drummer is unbelievable
If you like this I can recommend GoGo Penguin
Their drummer is just as amazing
@@carstarsarstenstesenn we meet again, man from the John L video comment section.
I'm sad that there wasn't a scene in the boiler room when John 50 didn't come to town.
the iconic Battles sound weaving here and the in the background just get me itchin'

I'll be honest: I reall didn't gel with these guys first four or five times I heard them; but they've really grown on me - especiall that third track.
A friend shared your music - blown away ~~~~ wow, what an inspiration ~ and I have been doing music since 1973 ~~~
Insane John L is played here
That drummer is FLYING!
those guys are insane. awesome performance.
First time I ever saw these guys…….my brain was like “ I can’t process this”….54 mins in my brain was like “I need more….please give me more”
Discovered this band literally 15 minutes ago, need to see them live. Frightening like early Rolo Tomassi or ATDI on Jools Holland.
almost forgot to watch this today
Wow! Scott Walker like vocals plus plain and beautiful chaos, I mean frenetic order.
Cheers for fixing the mix lol
i was about to leave the video lmao
the mix is really good though

The jam after Crow's Perch has an early instrumental version of John L in it.
Students of Fripp and King Crimson. Saw the boys at Powerhouse in Brisbane 2 months ago. Tight and new generation of electric mad house rock
iconic drumming

2:21 Little Thurston Moore
My best jam of all time
I just saw them in L.A.! FOCKING BRILLIANT!!!!!!
45:15 nice glitch touch
I’ve already heard a Nick Cave, Nirvana and Battles influence. It’s only the first track. Wow.
Nice pfp

Come to Chicago!
Bruh...I recognise some of the synths in there and it puts a smile on my face. I love that synth
Saw the guys earlier this year in Bratislava, in a very small venue but they totally killed it!
Crazy drumming
Great Band....Morgan Simpson is one of the best drummers out there!
Battles and black midi ? What a great combo
27.35 is John L before John L
Today was King Crimson`s last live show - but we're covered
Incidentally black midi just released an official cover if 21st Century Schizoid Man lol
Such an insane drummer. Fantastic band =)
When the camera pans down towards the pedal board and you see a memory man:
seems legit
Forgive me, but what is a memory man?
Iamman i upload 5 times a day for 6 months A guitar pedal
@@tyde4610 oh. What does it do?
I play so I'll understand.
Iamman i upload 5 times a day for 6 months memorizes a man
notice how greep shouts LP3's name years before it's release 46:08
His vocals do my head in but the music is fantastic and they are unbelievable players
he says "lewandowski" and "dereck chisora" at 35:48 lmfao
Watch this space! Brilliant! Stream of consciousness precision
Tell me they are not the best band in the world right now
Too good - the of schlagenheim jam here is far by my favourite ever
The Hozier influence is very strong in this performance
how, i dont hear it at all
h ever heard of a joke
Spencer Marcotte yea it’s just not a very good one lmao
One of the greatest bands of the last generation
The longtime missing next step in the evolution of rock. Right on brothers!
hella!
Matt is a fucking God.
I hope hes back soon if not I hope hes doing well
Wow .. great performance, great tunes , great recording.
What a fucking awesome combo!
46:07 foreshadow 🤨
He looks like Garfunkel in the thumbnail
I cannot fucking wait to see them in concert
32:41 sneaky little Day Tripper, ey Geordie?
one of the best videos in this decade
10:52 that look on morgan's face says it all
jam 3 sounds kinda like on the run by pink floyd, so good!
wow Jonny Greenwood is playing with them, cool!
the beginning of jam 1 is a masterpiece
