I’m laid up in the hospital today after emergency surgery, hurting like hell, and just wanting to go home. In walks my wife two hours ago with two tickets (digital) to see Devin in Orlando in a few months. I haven’t cried like that in years. She and I are polar opposites on most things. The very first time I played Devin for her, it was Kingdom. It ended and she hadn’t said a word. Then she hits replay and proceeds to tell me that the next time he’s within 500 miles, come Hell or high water, we ARE going.
Hey yeah player! I will be at that Orlando show as well. In my case, my wife has no idea what is coming lol. Especially since it seems like his recent shows have been on the heavier, SYL end of things.
Devin is such a wonderful human being, he is so lovable and his art is just so transformative and moving. I have so much love, admiration and gratitude xXx
I've wet my pants down here in Australia in anticipation of Sir Devy's imminent arrival. Morgan smashed that out of the park. This tour is off the scale. I'm in awe.
Ché Aimee Dorval, she and DT have worked together on a few projects, check out the live sessions for Casualties of Cool. Dorval has an incredible voice.
How the hell does a person feel a need to downvote this?? AWESOME and very different feel from past live performances that were full of backing tracks. And Ché is just lovely!!
Well, i was at his concert 2018 i think, that was god damn awful, the sound was unbelievably bad, and Devin was kinda tired or something. Anyways, me and my friend, the biggest Devin fans were heart broken after. It took me a year to start to listen him again. So there's that :/
Avec plaisir :D Quelle soirée fabuleuse, hein ?! Il y en a quelques autres, il ne faut pas hésiter à farfouiller dans nos vidéos ;) ua-cam.com/video/xXMenoPQ1LY/v-deo.html
Well...he is Morgan Agren after all...u know. Dude can soooorta play them drums..... Seriously now, I find it interesting for him to be playing double bass and all that. I bet he likes it. He is swedish, every swedish dude can play metal
@@YanusDV I had never heard of him till this video but instantly when the beat started I heard that something special in his drumming that only a few drummers have. I don't know how to explain it in words properly but I know it when I hear it. I'll definitely watch more of his videos.
@@Ammiel1234 One of the absolute best and most interesting drummers you can listen to. Check out his work with Mats&Morgan band or Fredrik Thorendal's (Meshuggah's lead guitarist) solo album "Sol Niger Within".
I think Morgan is faking those double bass beats though? It appears he is playing an electric pad, which makes me wonder if he is even doing them.....but then again during the instrumental part he isn’t hitting them....so not sure. But it makes me wonder. Love his drumming otherwise.
Amazing show I was in the second lodge stage right with partially blocked seats... but it was awesome b/c I got my own little square to absolutely FREAKING OUT during the entire show... but particularly this track. One of the best shows I've ever been to. AMAZING. You have to catch this tour if you can.
Man I fuckin love Devin Townsend. Just the creativity. Even with SYL the creativity was the vile delivery and words spewing against a backdrop of aggressive sounds and music. Nowadays he is much more refined in the delivery, but the backdrop is still somewhat the same. Not as heavy but I can still see and appreciate this form of art that he and his mates are creating. Not just songs but canvasses/ journals. I think I get it, might be above my head but that's how I see it and appreciate it.
Morgan's using electronic pads for one half of the double bass pattern. He also does this on two pads for Genesis That's just as impressive as when later in this song he actually plays it on double kick pedal! What a monster drummer!
Amazing to see the transformation of a man whom I'd originally found through Strapping Young Lad. I don't listen to Devin's newer stuff all that much but he's still one of the greatest musicians on the face of the planet.
SevansVII Same for me. I was a huge Fear Factory fan and I remember Dino talking about SYL as an influence. I listened to City for the first time driving through Worcester, MA and I just couldn’t comprehend what I was hearing exactly. It made Fear Factory sound primitive and one-dimensional. But we were listening to a genius that expressed himself in metal. I don’t listen to a lot of the new stuff, but I love to see his success.
I'm going to miss the show in Vienna because I have to work - and we can't take any time off in December. I have never before so seriously considered just quitting over a single event.
I've done it. Quit for events. If your employer cared about YOU, they'd make it happen to keep you happy. And YOU have only got one shot too live your life.
Holy sh*t! I was wondering the other day what the hell Mike Keneally is doing this days and then he shows up here with Devin. unexpected but very cool =D
Thanks for uploading this video! I was just next to you (slightly more to the right)... What an amazing show! A lot of heart and energy. If they actually rehearsed for only 6 days, they were pretty damn good!
This tour was about two weeks away from hitting First Ave. here in Minneapolis when Devin, before there was any real mention of the impending lockdown, postponed/ canceled the show and the rest of the tour. I was heartbroken, but fully understood and respected his decision. He probably helped prevent a great deal of virus spread by doing so. TG I was able to attend the 2016 Transcendence tour when it rolled through... 'Kingdom' was the highlight of that show, without question. Here's to more Empath performances in the (hopefully) near future!
It's normal I guess, it was the last song of a long set, listen to this live version of Deadhead, it's the better version in my opinion ua-cam.com/video/ugPqBqgtqx8/v-deo.html
Ok do you hear the crazy woman screaming??? ITS ME!! One of the best concerts I’ve ever been!!!
Best concert ever!
Haha, That'll be me in a couple of weeks!! 😆
Isabella Diller : it’s all good! I would’ve been screamin too. DT is not from this planet. Absolutely phenomenal.
Keep your panties on for God sake :P
I'd be screaming, too. Holy shit this is awesome. :D

Does she have a sister?
If anyone ever says metal can't be beautiful this video is a must see.
Thanks James!
Just goes to show that being a genuine artist, who truly appreciates his audience and the amazing talent he attracts can rule the world.
I just LOVE watching Morgan Keanelly and Townsend plays together... And i LOVE how Keneally is soooo into it
ikr, some serious headbanging there!
Right!!!! Fire it up!
Devin is such a wonderful human being, he is so lovable and his art is just so transformative and moving. I have so much love, admiration and gratitude xXx
Quand il dit merci, c'est vraiment du fond du coeur.
Che is a vision of unequalled loveliness.
One of the loveliest voices, too..
I fucking love Che so mch
Beautiful! She killed that dress
Yeah, Che is a stunner for sure.
It's unreal how much on tour he sounds almost Exactly on the album song...Heavy Devy indeed
hevydevy*
Hevy Devy, one of the most talented, humble men in music.
I've wet my pants down here in Australia in anticipation of Sir Devy's imminent arrival.
Morgan smashed that out of the park.
This tour is off the scale.
I'm in awe.
Did you see his acoustic show earlier this year?
@@nathanking8315 mate, I missed out 😥
Nathan King I saw it, it was top shit. We all had a good laugh. He is so down to earth.
Huh? He's coming again?!
@@pearljamrock we are all hoping so!
i cant stop looking at that girl...shes so incredibly intruiging and beautiful. beautiful energy
Who is she ?

@@davidpearson6346 but the energy and audacity to express it through a thumbs down?!
omg just cant get enough of this lineup
I think this is just a perfect rendering of this song.. And Che Dorvel is amazing.
I know Che is good but I really miss Annie!
Morgan is killing it
Best people ever!
Morgan invented the killing
What a gracious guy! And what a sound! Excellent!
Devon and King Diamond have the best voices I've ever heard. I'd love to see them both in concert together.
Devin...what a great great human being !
Tenia una banda perfecta y en el mejor momento la cambio! Y todo siguió igual de excelente y a la vez diferente! Este tipo es un Elevado!
It's super cool to see a more "no-frills" Devy. Can't wait to catch this tour in Toronto.
I have to see devin live. The commitment to giving the best show possible is astounding.
Hopefully you will, this tour is so amazing!

Bonkikavo DTP sounded great when they came out on that last tour w/BTBAM in 2018 I think. Hopefully your next Devin experience will be better.
@@ThePortal101 I'm sure it will be :)
Awesome show!
Devin is the man!
🤘👏👍🙌👌🎶

Chills. Great performance.

🤣
Cheers for the upload, this is just bloody brilliant!
I was at that show , it was awesome
Indeeed!!!
Thank you for recording this, you were as good as Devin ! Thank so much.
You're welcome! I just recorded and shared, Devin and the Empath Players did it all!
I was there. ABSOLUTE GREATNESS.
Morgan Ågren is killing it that back beat has so much groove. Ain't gonna lie the rest of the band is spectacular as well!
Well...he is Morgan Agren after all...u know. Dude can soooorta play them drums..... Seriously now, I find it interesting for him to be playing double bass and all that. I bet he likes it. He is swedish, every swedish dude can play metal

Amazing as always.
Mike keanelly, Great morgan agren, and Markus Reuter, aimée Dorval,,, ouuuch!!!
davbass Such a great lineup, what an experience it was! Looking forward to watching 'Order of Magnitude'!
So EXCITED to be seeing them all in Toronto in February!
This tour is really surprising and new, and by then it might have evolved!

thank you for this footage, and yeah, keep family close
No delay? No reverb?
I don't even know what to think right now!
I'm going to have to run my pc through my Memory Man pedal.
agreed. I'm shocked by that
Same here
Morgan's using electronic pads for one half of the double bass pattern. He also does this on two pads for Genesis That's just as impressive as when later in this song he actually plays it on double kick pedal! What a monster drummer!
I was looking the same. Different resources for the same brutal sound. Just a lot of emotion to see this almost freak band now with Dev.
What a nice guy!
C’était énorme !
Oh oui :)))
Che vibing to the song is literal mood.
Oh man, Devin delivers and delivers... What a fantastic performer.
Dublin in 2 days! Can't wait!!
Sure you'll have an extraordinary great experience!
Those kick drum covers are beautiful! I want them on my wall!
Awesome.. thanks for the upload 👍
Amazing to see the transformation of a man whom I'd originally found through Strapping Young Lad. I don't listen to Devin's newer stuff all that much but he's still one of the greatest musicians on the face of the planet.

Wow, Morgan Agren on drums, some huge talent on stage.
I'm going to miss the show in Vienna because I have to work - and we can't take any time off in December. I have never before so seriously considered just quitting over a single event.
Hopefully you can make it to another show next year, there are many volumes to come on this Empath tour!
I've done it. Quit for events. If your employer cared about YOU, they'd make it happen to keep you happy. And YOU have only got one shot too live your life.
Seeing this tour in feb and trying not to watch spoilers but I cant help it lol
Great seats thanks for sharing
There is no classier act than Devin Townsend.
I agree with you! The way he puts his soul into it is astonishing!
@CrazyFish what? He's like the most self-aware, insecure frontman around lmao
great live performance
nathan navaro on bass??? wowwwwww
As if her voice wasn’t enough, Che is so fucking gorgeous. Such an incredibly talented woman. God bless her!
And she ruined that dress for any other woman!
Ché sounds great, but I miss Annie´s voice with Devin´s one in this song.
I love you Devin.
Holy sh*t! I was wondering the other day what the hell Mike Keneally is doing this days and then he shows up here with Devin. unexpected but very cool =D
I forgot Mike K was touring with Dev! Now it makes sense why he wasn’t playing with Dethklok the other day.
I thought Dethklok didn't exist anymore, because of the BS between Brendan and Adult Swim?
War624 they just played for adult swim festival.
Dev sounds fucking amazing. Can't wait to catch this tour
I love you guys!
Love you too :D
Anytime you have Morgan and Keneally in your band you will dominate
Devy 💜💜💜
Thanks for uploading this video! I was just next to you (slightly more to the right)... What an amazing show! A lot of heart and energy. If they actually rehearsed for only 6 days, they were pretty damn good!
Let's meet next time :) Yes it's quite amazing!
@@LeDevinCircus Avec plaisir !
Как всегда великолепен!
Thanks for the video !!!
The ONLY track of Devi I throughly enjoy, and man, I cannot get enough of it;)
Awesome, cheers!
June can't come soon enough!
Each day it's closer!
Gonna see him live in Berlin tomorrow. So hyped!
Did you enjoy your experience?
Yeah, it was amazing. He's quite an Entertainer. Very unconventional for the metal genre, and his humor makes him so unique.
OMG!
3:34 Mike K. oops...
Fuckin goosebumps everytime i hear his song.
2 for the Price of 1!
Wwhn he was in ft Lauderdale 2 years ago he did it all the singing himself....it was good but need that female vocal to complete it
when voldemort took up music instead of becoming wizarding hitler
If Devin was Voldemort,.. i would have actually cared about anything Harry Potter,..
who are the 24 jagoffs who hit dislike on this?! I want names
I'm the JAGOFF. Hearing some guy sing stay with me 2000 times does nothing for me.

@Mike Cranston ????????
@@boomredimprint8411 Probably because he filmed through a whole song
@Mike Cranston Okay boomer.
He’s so Canadian🇨🇦🤘🏻😝🤘🏻🇨🇦
Might be just me but man I miss when Ryan was playing drums for Devin. Idk how I feel about this other guy.
Just look up Morgan Agren with Fredrik Thordendal here on YT. He is THAT guy.
This tour was about two weeks away from hitting First Ave. here in Minneapolis when Devin, before there was any real mention of the impending lockdown, postponed/ canceled the show and the rest of the tour.

If Che had a song to best describe her beauty it would be Kingdom.
Or Grace.
Just a matter of time and Heavy Devy will confess Christ is Truth.
Plz come to korea
So anyone gonna mention the balls of steel on the drummer? This song is fuckin stamina check cuz of the double pedal action throughout the song.
I want to know the role of the guiy with the 8 strign guitar that seems to play in very weird ways, can some one explain me please? thanks in advance
That's a Chapman stick also known as a Warr guitar, It's played in a hammer-on technique :)
Pretty sure Devin said it was to replace a lot of the keyboard parts they had on the album, but I may be wrong
What the fuck is that red led masterpiece guitar and how badly can i not afford it
NATHAN NAVARO ON BASS
Is it just me or are they playing it in a higher tuning? Devy struggled a little more with the high screams, still fantastical though
It's normal I guess, it was the last song of a long set, listen to this live version of Deadhead, it's the better version in my opinion
ua-cam.com/video/ugPqBqgtqx8/v-deo.html
His voice sounds worn out in the intro. Last song of the set, he's gonna be a little tired.
Oh please stfu
His vocals sounded better in Hamburg during this song. But he's the best💞
@@Liz-cmc313 he is indeed the best :) i'm tempted to go see him next month
Mike Kneelly playing? Wow nice group.
this would be my first time I see this piece live. Amazing. Thanks for recording this, dude.
Is dude playing a Chapman Stick variant?
Wow
It's a Warr Guitar.
@@mysticalink152 a touch guitar U8/U10 actually. www.touchguitars.com/markus-reuter/
@@duke_77 Cool! I didn't even know this was a thing. You learn something new every day.
@@mysticalink152 its reuters own brand me thinks
Mike K playing a Devy guitar! I'm guessing he's also playing in the Open C tuning to match Devin's riffs?
Dave Lanciani : yep that’s a Framus Stormbender. $6,500. And yes. Open C
Devs is the Stormbender. Similar lights on Mike’s guitar, but it’s a different shape.
Matt Kettmann
I do believe that guitar Keneally is playing is one of Devin’s older Framus models.
@@coreymineard It's an older one-off custom for Devin. It's the Framus Mayfield model. Che' has a custom Mayfield as well.
Whooaaaaaahhh hold the fuck on, Where is Devins reverb and delay on his voice!!?!?! He’s going without it!!!
A Warr guitar!!
What was playing on the PA at the end?
Did he play the main villan in Harry Potter
He forgot to mention Steve vai... Ha ha ha
