@@jamestyler8104 gonna wait to see how this whole resale thing plays out, waited first in line for all three sales and all the Tix were scalped 😤 aiming for the mission but will buy if I need to
Hearing the crowd throwing down all these years later is peak nostalgia. Didn't know i was going until the day of and headed from nashville to Chicago an hour later. Wild times.
I just discovered Pretty Lights. I don't know how they did it, but they mixed Clapton, Willie Nelson, and The Allman Brothers. I even hear a little Beck in there. I'm impressed!
As a music lover and a drummer, djing is a talent ! Turn tables, cd controllers etc, are devices used to express one selves just as a guitar, key board etc. I crack up when I'm listening to the original song that some one has sampled and created another tune and some younger person thinks its the latest greatest from whom ever. The best part is “the old people music” has a chance to be heard even in a remix.
This is word for word how I listen to music! I was also raised on classic rock, but if a song sounds good then I'm going to listen to it haha. Glad to know there are other people with my same philosophy!
This is awesome and for those who is asked the songs used were After Midnight by JJ Cale and Midnight Rider by the Allman Brothers or maybe by greg allman band. The PL website has a music download for this and the final countdown. Great stuff!!!
this is amazing. I dont give a fuck for all those people saying this is dubstep, this is trip whatever. they're arguing what colour the plane is. i love this
hi. just checked this song out. very good. nice flow. little beat mixes. straight through i think pretty lights produced a quality track. that could also be because I'm trip pin major balls. strongest acid in the midwest. still gotta hand it to them.
Not only can Derek Vincent Smith, the genius BEHIND the Pretty Lights name play multiple real instruments (watch the making of for his newest album, color map of the sun) He knows how to keep the soul the original presented so well, in the modern twist of it. His newest album was created from content he IMPROVED ON THE SPOT with some of the biggest legends in blues and jazz. Which was pressed to vinyl, then remixed digitally the same way everything else he's done previously was. Amazing stuff
People say ‘he just pushes buttons’ when criticizing electronic music in general. Keyboards are just buttons. So the piano isn’t an instrument? Gimme a f$&@!’n break. Depeche Mode is my favorite band of all time. Alan Wilder and Martin Gore are synth masters. Fuck the haters. #monomeisaninstrument
You do realize that Pretty Lights just spent two years travelling around the country recording samples which he cut onto actual vinyl and mixed the entire thing with vintage analogue effects with plug ins and will be releasing it on vinyl so it is a perfect representation of the music. Someone from your era should at least appreciate that and the fact I can add it to my vinyl collection to represent the best of my generation's music which I will hand down to my kids someday as my dad did for me.
its pretty cool that he can bring back old music and tweak it in a way that people love it. pretty lights is a musical genius and obviously knows what he is doing in the studio. derek vincent smith does not even consider is music as dubstep, he prefers electro hip-hop. finally to answer your question, he can slap the ol bass guitar and actually uses it in his music. quit disrespecting people's music, if you don't like it don't listen to it
Hes played bass since a young age, has been many bands with his friends in highschool, and now some of them have created a record label called PRETTY LIGHTS MUSIC, where each artist release there music.. Derek Vincent Smith uses vinyl samples as well as recording from live musicians, search Re-generation Project, Sampling has been around ever since weve have the technology capable of doing so, Hes not the first to sample but his style is unique and is what gets the credit.
Midnight rider! Ha one of my favs although I prefer Willie Nelson singing it. And then later that same sample Shadow used on Midnight in a perfect world, who could have imagined both samples on one track? Foresight....insight....the clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight
He mashes all your memories into a track(s). This is why he is good. He's that guy with every piece of vinyl living in a basement except he's fucking PL and comes to your ville and kicks your sonic-ass.
DVS/PL is clearly very versatile....just as much funk as dubstep, just as much dnb as house, just as much hyphy club beats as lush organic downtempo electronica (remember 'an empty station'?). you're wasting your time arguing about genres -- he often blends them seamlessly, which makes his music especially accessible. if you like it, because of whichever influences, great. that's the point. if you don't, go find some artists you do like! the audio from his chicago NYE 2010 set brought me here!
I'm dead serious. I never really got into pretty lights at first til I heard finally moving, hot like sauce and then this track. I'll be blaring this track tonight 😁
Just so you guys know, this is a sample from a song by J.J. Cale. The original is also called "after midnight".He didnt really do a great job... Im sure he was trying to do something like Crystal Method did on a remix of Roadhouse Blues by the Doors. If you like this, go listen to the original and to crystal method. Thank me later. Peace
Checked it out. And I love crystal method I do. But the soul of this remix and the illustration of sound sculpting is much better imo on the pretty lights. I can see myself on cloud 9 loving this soulbreathing sound! so when i saw your post I immediately went and checked it out. I disagree bro Pretty lights has got that vibe and the air pockets are mastered by propper gain levels with the reverb. I love the doors and crystal method, imo pretty lights takes this one tho.
yea because mixing in dj shadow midnight in a perfect world and like five other songs seamlessly is not doing a great job.... someone drank the haterade
Your kids obviously have bad taste lol, PL is one of the most talented proudcers/DJ's alive right now. Also, it's not dubstep and making Electronic music takes its own set of skills, who cares if they don't play an instrument? It's all music.
I play the violin, guitar, and piano. I tried making electronic music, and it just baffled me. I couldn't do anything, it made no sense. Playing an instrument is WAY easier. People who don't respect electronic artists don't deserve a reply imo.
Hey i'm looking for the version of after midnight that pretty lights uses to make their version of the song. Does anyone have an idea who sings it? I know its originally done by JJ Cale and then redone by eric Clapton which are both great versions but the one used in this pretty light song is played on the radio a lot but i can't seem to find it so again if anyone has an idea can you let me know? Thanks

Saw him play this live @ red rocks like ten years ago . Serious nostalgia listening to this
2014 I think, cause I was there... 3 days with the band and Colorado Symphony.
He needs to come back!!!
Painful nostalgia bro
Saw it at Congress theatre Chicago new years at midnight forever ago.
I can't believe this is 12 years old. Such a better world then.
Sorry you got left behind, I think I see your better side if it helps you out,,?
Miss you D, music ain't the same without you ❤️

PRETTY LIGHTS!!
He mixes it all up so well! Don't he?!
THIS GUY ROCKS!!!!!
PL is sick. His reimagining of music is incredible.
This man needs to tour again soon, the wait has been long enuf!
I'll bring the glowing body paint and beer. Who's gonna bring the Molly? 🤘
The money gonna run out soon he’ll be back 😂
@@fbskier20 no, it isn't. He heavily invested into real estate. He got clean and has been focusing on yoga.
@@codexmachina1358 fucking love that. lets GOOOOOO PL!
@@fbskier20 agreed brother. I want him back as much as anyone but it won't be money, it'll be heart. We should expect nothing less 😍😍😍
dude knows good music from back in the day. thats what they call knowing your craft and good music
This song changed everything for me.
This should be next on your playlist

This is the groovy side of Derek you only get to see at live events. Love love love it. You forget sometimes.
It's been to long.
@@_alltheseprettylights_ so long.
So true. I saw him in New Orleans with a jazz band. The groove live was next level compared to his recorded stuff
still prob my favorite Pretty Lights mix
love it, love it, love it see y'all out at the festies this summer, trippin balls and dancin like a T-Rex
chills; up and down the spine. fuck man what a great spin on a classic. i cant categorize this song...
wooooh!!!!!!!!!! thumbs up for gettin up and gettin down

rumer
Incorrect. Allman's and the writer of the song, JJ Cale
I love that
@@brianmcelroy9272 q

This mash-up needs to be in production
SUCH GREAT TALENT! love love love love .. . . . it,
A fine mix!!!
JJ Cale and Pretty lights.. A match made in heaven.
SO SO GOOD! I've been playing this on repeat for the last few days.
this is amazing. I dont give a fuck for all those people saying this is dubstep, this is trip whatever. they're arguing what colour the plane is. i love this
i saw him a few times, the lights were pretty pretty, pretty much, it was pretty awesome
his music crosses so many genres...this little bastard knows how to make a chill beat
hi. just checked this song out. very good. nice flow. little beat mixes. straight through i think pretty lights produced a quality track. that could also be because I'm trip pin major balls. strongest acid in the midwest. still gotta hand it to them.

Beauty! Thank SSX for finding these Pretty Lights ;)
no way hosea... pretty lights has transcended such musical greatness and taken his place among musical gods
i am absolutely loving the DJ Shadow sample in there as well
allman bros and clapton! wow what talent
Singer and writer here on "After Midnight" is JJ Cale..
How dare you mistake a legend for a hack like Clapton!
@@FarginIceholeful Clapton is a legend. Are you kidding me?
Been. Listen in sinz 2011 thank you !!!!

Who tha fuck are you talking to like that?
@@erico7245 Original comment was deleted. It was someone shitting on Pretty Lights not being a real artist.
@@erico7245 lol I'm over here wondering the same thing.
I'm here is still listening to this for New Years in 2022!!
@ 3:00 Tripped so hard at this at wakarusa 2012 mainstage in Arkansas
same here. Good times on Mulberry Mountain.
How does this song only have 13,000 views??

Is that when he debuted the Country roads remix? That shit was Epic!!!!
What a dope mashup!!!
Love love love it. Thanks for posting:)
I don't care if it's dubstep or not, it's great...

Just saw this live at hulaween 23. Fucking banger

Clearly perfection exists.

DAMN J.J. Cale and the Allman Bros never sounded so groovy!
You're really doing a great job at displaying your old age
Play this loud at a fraternity party. A settling alcohol buzz, sun peeking in at dusk, and a pretty girl at your side. Euphoric!
Me too lol
Whoa! This guy crosses all the lines! + :)
Pretty lights lovin!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Love it!
Man oh man what a combo jam
Just discovered this track by PL and I fucking love this!!! Can't wait to see what the future holds for PL

One of those utterances of the word 'midnight' has to be from DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World.
How cool is this?!
The original tune is Midnight Rider by the allman Brothers- u can find the lyrics online
midnight rider-the allman brothers
great tune
clapton AND pretty lights???? word up!
nice midnight rider sample/remix stuff
i love remixes and this is why
He played this the first time i saw him at Camp Bisco 2015 at about 11:55pm. It was lit
Just so you guys know, this is a sample from a song by J.J. Cale. The original is also called "after midnight".He didnt really do a great job...

@easybz555 IM GONNA HAVE TO SAY PL IS THE NUMBER 1 DJ AT THIS POINT IN TIME
Still feel this.
If I were to put pretty lights in a section of edm I would say he's jazz because it's so smooth, got class but has that added pizzazz.
Future funk

Bonnaroo 2013, owe owe!
@TRAVIO5O pretty lights kicks ass. i must agree. this is hip hop/funk (with dub elements) dj-ing at its finest!
Abb is the bast clapton is god and this mix doesnt rip them off or piggyback them pure goodness
killed it. keep it flowin' if you cant jam to PL go buy a britney spears album and roll doobies on it.
I play the violin, guitar, and piano. I tried making electronic music, and it just baffled me. I couldn't do anything, it made no sense. Playing an instrument is WAY easier. People who don't respect electronic artists don't deserve a reply imo.

listen and learn "DJ's". This is what we call T-A-L-E-N-T
