How the fuck is this guy not fully recognized and celebrated by the music industry as a whole? Such immeasurable talent and charm. Truly one of the greats!
It's a tragic. The USA only wants POP and Rap to be popular. It's sick. This Canadian has so much talent that he doesn't need the USA to be popular. We know.... we know. :)
This right here is fucking cool, no doubt, but for me nothing can top King's X concerts at their last song when they play "Goldilox", there's videos of it, lookup texas 97 the crowd takes over the stage and the band having a blast on the sides of the stage while the guys go nuts... That's therapy right there xDDDD
Not only is he one of the best musicians ever, but he also one of the best humans beings ever. The gratitude he shows to everyone, whether it be his family, friends or people who work for him, is just great to see. An absolute hero of a man.
Spud Byrne agreed. Probably the sweetest thing I have ever seen or heard on stage, from anyone. And this, all from the man that has no filter. Beautiful
I travelled from Scotland to Las Vegas to see the DTP play. It was for my 40th birthday. I wouldn't do that for any other musician. The rest of the band were also super nice guys.
I wonder how many other musicians can play a sold out show at a place like Royal Albert Hall, perform over 2 hours of some of the most emotive music ever made and then finish by introducing his own family onstage to share the moment with the fans...i'll tell you how many. None. Not a single musician I can think of can make you feel as though you've been riding the journey with him, feeling like you've been a part of the brotherhood all along. This is one awesome human being right here. We the fans salute you Dev.
Probably lots. The only difference there is that they tend not to introduce their family on stage, but Dev is not the only awesome musician who ever played the RAH.
Coheed and Cambria on the Neverender DVD where they played thier entire discography in flawless/epic and emotinal way You really felt part of "the fance"
ok so I called my son into the room and played this song for him. He is Seven.. as soon as "FLAAAAME!!" kicked in, his face and his eyes lit up, the headbanging kicked in and he just exploded. Jumping up and down spinning around. This song activates something in my child that is so positive and good. They should play this song for babies in the nursery 👶👶👶 Thank you guys so damn much xoxo
I recently discovered Devin. He mentioned here that he didn't choose a very lucrative genre to be part of...well Devin I will most certainly NOT be downloading your music for free. I am going to buy every album you ever made and I am gonna spend my hard earned cash to do so. You deserve every cent bud.
this is proprably the first time i see a video of a concert and think to myself "i wish i was there " feels good just by watching this here on youtube, i cant even imagine how great was to behold this live , devin is a hero.
52 Y.O tomorrow, just discovered DTP a few days ago. What a wasted time. Brilliant, amazing stuff, this guy is a musical genius. And this song bring me to tears
Though you feel you're far gone Never to love again Remember to have faith now The sun will rise again! Damn. Gets me right in the feels every time. And since my wife and I separated earlier this year, it gives me hope that I'm still worth a damn. Not many musicians can do that to a bloke!
I own this (if you're watching it here only - BUY IT IF YOU CAN!) on both DVD and BR, and it's just... it's... completely honestly, I've seen it a dozen or so times through the entire ~2.5hr show, and I legit cry at the end most of the times. Humanity doesn't deserve Devin. He's such an inspiration and such a brightness in the darkness of the lives of many - his own struggles and the way he's gone through them and along the way created some of the most epic works of music in the history of ever is truly a blessing. I might be alone in feeling that way, but he, his works and the people working with him, have truly been crucial in my survival these past years of my life. He's a goddamn hero. A bald, loveable, poop-joking, Canadian, hero.
You're definitely not alone in feeling that way. Devin's music has helped me through some of the darkest days of my life. I'd love to meet him just to say, 'Thankyou'.
Thos is how Devin Townsend saved my life guys. I put it on here because its the only place where anyone can understand what I mean when I say that. I owe my life to the Townsend Family.
@@FaithsFallen me too! Ive been through hell, it's true. But it was worth every excrutiating step becaue life is beautiful on. The other side. I love my life now. My family loves me. My friends love me. My boyfriend and his sons love me. And life is beautiful. Thanks for the welcome faithsfallen.
This is for the love of my life. My wife of 17 years. Laura I love you more than life itself. Cancer picked the wrong one to mess with. You will beat it and I will be by your side every step of the way. You are my sweetest friend. Love you Baby
She died March of 2019. I miss her every moment of every day. I want to be with her so bad but I got 4 kids to raise. Laura one day I will be with you again. I miss you so much. One Ill be in your arms again. I Miss you more than you'll ever know. Her name was Laura Lou Ann Maynard and she was the the sweetest love of my life . I miss you every moment of every day, I'm so tired baby. Please give me the strength to keep going, I miss you you so much. It wasn't suppressed to be you. Why did you leave me/
When he thanks Tracey, I keep thinking about the hand-written post-it's saying "thank you" she kept sticking to his CD's when they still ran their own shop!
Devin definitely conveys a profound degree of sacredness through his music. The cosmic creative spirit, the force, God, whatever you want to call it, it is sure flowing through him and I am happily here for it.
There's definitely something weird with DTP and me. Everytime I've been watching their live shows I've been driven to tears. Tears of joy. I don't know how in hell the man does this to me. I'll see him live one day hopefully !
Goddamn unbelievable performance! The talent and expertise of the band mixed with the amazing acoustics at the Royal Albert must have made this one hell of an amazing experience! Devin is literally second to none. He's simply in a realm of his own.
im not really into this type of genre but this is just beyond godlike....by far the best performance ever, not only the music.....the way he dominates the stage, gave importance to his crew and most of all his family and everything is so awesome!!!!
I’ve listened to a TON of Townsend over the years, and I can safely say this man performs better live than most studio tracks, not many do that. It’s the energy.
Still my favourite moment of my entire music listening career. The atmosphere was so incredible. Glad to have made this one after missing out on Retinal Circus
When I was in the hospital for a blood infection I watched this for inspiration for my son and myself to be there for him since his Mother abandoned us for addiction. Much love to my parents for watching him when I was in a dark place pushing back for my son. Devin is a beautiful soul what a wonderful thread of comments there's still beauty in this world don't let the flame burn out!!
I barely held it together, but completely lost it at 5:13. How powerful and emotional. I can't believe I haven't heard of Devin before and would give anything to have been at that concert. 😢
Holy crap... this actually moved me to tears. This is amazing. I'm not a huge DT fan, when listening to recordings, but I would give my left kidney to see him live!
And see that everybody looking and singing to him like a eternal God!!! (by the way, im an Atheist and he touches something in me with this song, i dont have another name for soul ;) )
@@alfredib78 I believe Devin is an athiest as well. It's funny, because of alot his songs could be looked at as giving off a "religious" vibe, but to me it's more of having faith in oneself and those around them, not necessarily a divine figure.
Why call it "religious" when religion is a man made thing... maybe... just maybe... because this song seems to touch you on a soulful level, in your spirit if you will, maybe it is more of a spiritual experience than religious
se recupero y mostro que es aun gran cantante, escritor, guitarriasta y padre.... DEVIN ES UN ANGEL no hay duda.... vencio a sus problemas y aunque sigue luchando sigue ganando
OMG.... one of the most impressing guys in prog/rock/metal, at the most wonderful location, with a wonderful show, great band, amazing music. And than also has his parents and wife in the audience. And has his smiling son on stage. This can't be better in any way!
Devin Townsend has given me Inspiration for anything I do from now on in life Mr.Townsend God works in mysterious ways because you an Angel put upon this earth to spread joy,humbleness,validation for your fellow man and most importantly through your music you give hope to those who for some reason or other have lost hope at least in my world I would to shake your hand and give u a brotherly hug for coming into my life May God bless you and your family Thank you ,Devin.
I already grew up, but I still want to be Devin Townsend when I grow up.
Yeah same xD
Me too. I’m a singer/songwriter/ guitarist/ drummer etc....Devin accomplishes all that I wanted to be!...and I’m cool with that.
Devin never grew up, yet he still somehow managed to become Devin Townsend.
ME TOO
Same.
"Remember to have faith now, The sun will rise again!"
I needed this today! Devin
Wow! If you listen to this and don't feel anything, please call the morgue.
A. MG I got spare parts division.
how can you call the morgue if you're already dead?
That made me cringe. Is that a feeling?
How the fuck is this guy not fully recognized and celebrated by the music industry as a whole? Such immeasurable talent and charm. Truly one of the greats!

“I’ll show myself out” part. Awesome dude. Made me giggle. Thx and happy new year.

I want a son who loves metal...
That's just beautiful 😱
most wholesome performance in history.

Exactly! I'm doing the same thing!
This makes me so happy :))

what a honor!
I don't know why I'm crying, it's so great
Makes me really happy how Devin loves his son and wife. You can really feel this is one of the best moments of his life.
Bring your kid to work day has never been as traumatising, or as awesome.
Seriously, this is one of the most emotional songs I have ever heard in my life. I didn't know I could cry watching this, but it really happened ...
Happens to me too, brother. Dev talks to parts of us that nobody else cared to reach.
THe Devin Towsend Project is literally the best live performance band!

ok, I'm watery, blamed it on the cat,
wife didn't buy it,

Everytime I list this song, I can't hold my tears

Ah, goddamn it.. Devin's kid made me cry
Me Too!!!
Recently discovered Devin, and these last few weeks I've been going down the rabbithole of awesome music, funny videos, and just a pure awesome guy.
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying.
indeed
So much cry.
Yeah, I am.
we all are crying
every fucking time :')
52 Y.O tomorrow, just discovered DTP a few days ago. What a wasted time. Brilliant, amazing stuff, this guy is a musical genius. And this song bring me to tears
I'm not weeping, you're weeping. Seriously how amazing is that! Final song is the request of his son, I'm dying!
Though you feel you're far gone
Never to love again
Remember to have faith now
The sun will rise again!
Damn. Gets me right in the feels every time. And since my wife and I separated earlier this year, it gives me hope that I'm still worth a damn. Not many musicians can do that to a bloke!
How is lfe treating you these days mate?
If this song does not bring us the world peace, than nothing does... 🤗😇🥳
imagine how proud his parents must be :)
Devin seems proud as punch
I'm blown away. Commenting as I'm hearing this for the first time. Am driven to tears.
That ending....
If you don't know Dev, you're in for a ride..
You cant beat DTP welcome to the family friend !
Damn...same here, first time listenning to it, almost cried like a bitch, fucking epic
That's the genius of Devin Townsend. He can make you laugh, cry and headbang all at the same time. One of the world's best kept secrets.
Coolest dad ever.
I couldn't stop smiling.
Was smiling and crying in the same time for me 🤣
That last stanza right after Devin says "Ready?" makes my eyes leak...
Devin Towsnend: the only father, who when he shouts at you, you're happy !!!
I own this (if you're watching it here only - BUY IT IF YOU CAN!) on both DVD and BR, and it's just... it's... completely honestly, I've seen it a dozen or so times through the entire ~2.5hr show, and I legit cry at the end most of the times.
Humanity doesn't deserve Devin. He's such an inspiration and such a brightness in the darkness of the lives of many - his own struggles and the way he's gone through them and along the way created some of the most epic works of music in the history of ever is truly a blessing.

You're definitely not alone in feeling that way. Devin's music has helped me through some of the darkest days of my life. I'd love to meet him just to say, 'Thankyou'.
@PeTTs0n88 I feel the same way my friend. Devin Townsend saved my life
I remember being there and being ever so slightly disappointed that Reyner didn't have a skullet.
Awesome little fella.
give him a few more years... what are parents for?
Devin is a God of peace and love spreading his infectious message through music. play it loud play it proud and horns up
To hell with mainstream music. This is amazing!!
Poor kid :) He looked overwhelmed on stage. Yes, boy, your father is kind a god for a lot of people, you must be proud of him.
This makes me want to live another day !
Me too
Then let's live together!
Thos is how Devin Townsend saved my life guys. I put it on here because its the only place where anyone can understand what I mean when I say that. I owe my life to the Townsend Family.

She still does this, I bought a signed CD from their eBay shop and she put a note in it on HevyDevy stationary
i used to get Christmas cards!
Is Tracy on stage and if so which person?
@@Geddylee2000 i believe is the one who is hugging Devin's son at the end of the song
@@rerditirerthz5568 I don't think she's on stage.
Probably one of the best performances on the tubes. What a guy! If I'd become a dad I want to be that cool. The face on that kid makes my day.
That looked and sounded like a huge Christian church revival. That's not a criticism btw. It sounded GREAT!!!!
Devin proves you don't have to be religious to come together and feel you have purpose.
Linus Wärn my 3 year old daughter absolutely loves Devin!

Changed my life Devin Townsend 🤘🤘🤘
If I could open Devin’s music for myself years and years earlier I would be a much better person now, that’s for sure.
This is Goddamn poetry. Thank you Devin
Son of Devin! Awesome. Lucky boy.
Devin has 100% my respect. Amazing artist. Genius.

Bless you DTP

Oh My Lord this song is absolutely Amazing. "You are a Golden Soul of Passion Overflowing and You....." Oh My Lord. Devin this is just The Beginning.
This is absolutely beautiful.
Just…so…wholesome
Aw man I'm pretty moved by him bringing his son out and thanking his wife and parents. What a rad dude :'^D
This literally made my eyes water. Absolutely amazing.
Seeing the crowd group around his son makes this an even more amazing performance, and really shows how amazing this mans music really is!
Watching this, how else could the show have ended? This is masterful in every way.
Still my favourite moment of my entire music listening career. The atmosphere was so incredible. Glad to have made this one after missing out on Retinal Circus

the moment when the kid sees his dad might actually be godlike to other people aswell
Puts a smile on your face. It's just fukin epic. Doesn't get any better than this. Cheers devin
This is everything a last song to an incredible concert should be.
i understand now
Out of this world!!! Wonderful.
Can't stop watching this - amazing and so moving with his son up there as well - must see him live!
Such an amazing track. Hitting all the feelers!
After listening to these, i think ill go back to strapping and repeat the loop again x
