2024 and im still here. Are you there? ------>
KEXP you can never delete this video I need it to survive
Can't tell you how many times I've put this one / watched this.
or any video for that matter. LONG LIVE KEXP!
I love the drummer's skill. He's deaf (mostly) and still has this incredibly unique style and ability. The beat and sound that he creates really sets the atmosphere of the band's sound.
At 35:56 he eats his own booger.
@@BillWiltfong he does not but whatever
Ludvig wtf is your problem bud?
@@justinfielden2818 just trolling :D
I dig the off beats hard to keep up!

@@tatianamedina3214 De nada.
I'm in love with the intro
Almost 10 years have gone by since this performance, and it still brings me to another dimension. Every. Single. Time.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Same. I found it 4 years ago and I still listen to it. I am a bit sad that their other albums didnt live up to this one (in my opinion). It is one of the best albums of the 2010's
I've just started listening to them, and this performance was haunting and hypnotic. Absolutely brilliant.
Time travel......stop it you kids .....this is freeeeeeasj
This is incredible music.
I love how outward they're very quiet, but their songs have so many messages and emotions behind them.
Anthony Trevino
Totally can relate
their music is so textured and artistic, radiohead influence definitely but still make it all their own
@@hippiecheezburger5457 Heir apparent to radiohead for sure
These guys are very artistic. They paint a canvass in my ears.
They just inspired my freedom from painter's block.
wooah, what an amazing way to put it mate
Gracias.
Gee, your comment is absolutely amazing
Thank you Porim XD
There is little or no difference between LIVE ALT-J and RECORDED ALT-J. That is fundamental. Very chill, simply the best band
Me too, and that weird sound in Taro was made by a guitar? Simply amazing, it is the little things that make them so distinguishable
this is why you can call them awesome
xoxULTIMATExox yeah, what the hell was that?
Jesse Berdinka I dont know what it was but it was just amazing
xoxULTIMATExox
Originally i thought it was a sitar but damn that's a pretty cool technique
Taro is one of the best songs of my life of listening to music and I am 71 years young . It's purely heavenly . Been 10 years , so glad to listen again . they are geniuses , love it . gonna do that one more time, have to .
The video is perfection too
I love the fact that they sound perfect even live
j
+Lucie Kahounová Also, KEXP engineers are one of the best in the business, they ALWAYS nail everything :)

🔼
Very true.
Their music is brilliant, so well written, thought of in every detail... truly a mastepiece! and it gives this warm feeling
+Anna Pietkiewicz I know right?!
+Anna Pietkiewicz look up the back story to every song. You'll love them even more :-)
+Shivraj Acharjee yeah i did! :) that was the first thing i did after hearing their new album. i gotta say they have lyrics that stuck in your head for a long time...
+Shivraj Acharjee i can't believe Matilda was written for the ending scene in Leon The Professional
Ikr...u end up loving the song even more after this. :)
I'm actually amazed at how good they are live. You'de expect a band that uses so much electronics in its music to sound a little worse on stage, but holy hell, these guys are amazing!
For the first time in quite a while a band worthy of praise has hit the big time. Best of luck to them.
i feel like its a crime that i get to watch this for free omg!!!
Agreed. But I'm cool with this crime
you can pay subscription ... dont be criminal if you hate crime...and especially don't be hypocrite
It's not. You're paying with your data. ;-)
No matter how many times I listen, Taro always gives me goosebumps.

This album is an absolute masterpiece. There isn't a single song that isn't as good as the rest. Such a wonderfully unique sounding band. I must have listened to this album from start to finish over a hundred times.
Where do you get the album?
Same :)
Is that all? :p
9 years later and this is still easily my favorite alt-j performance. dozens of watches and it still hits so deeply. thank you @kexp 🖤
The best
100%, I always go back to this when Im on my darkest 🖤

Somehow I always come back here and watch this 42 minutes through over and over again.

hahaha same feels
Úna Hi my dear hope all is well with you? Love to chat with you anytime! Have a wonderful day for a beautiful woman as yourself, John
I've been an Alt-J fan for years, but never watched this performance. It's insane how all the little pieces meld together perfectly.
Hearing them is like taking an actual chill pill.
It is quite clear that they are professional trained musicians, from the way they hold their instruments to how they harmonize a capella. And they sound identical to their studio album. They are a pretty cool band. Really like the atmosphere they have created with their music.
Sochilinda not sure of their training but they are extremely consistent and extremely tight as a band. Kings of Leon comes close. Really a pleasure to watch and listen to.
im not really sure that matters...
speaking from a nerd pespective, alt+j means nothing..
musically, this has nothing on people like john frusciante who can sing and or both sing properly..
people dont give cred to bands like "crippled black phoenix", which has a mix of "super" artists... so why praise this band?
it can and has been done by other bands already.
Agree
Yep...they know chords and melodies very well..you can't' learn that on UA-cam. This is college trained musicianship. Awesome music that isn't recycled horse shit from some desk jockey....it's called "music theory".
I love this band for that.
actually, the only person in this band who has music training is Gus ..
can't even listen to this while studying, it attracts too much of my attention
After listening to them for literally only a day, they are one of my favorite bands.
such a vibe, they still sound new as if they arent almost 10 years old
Dwight, what are u doing here?
For all of you who don't know, the drummer is phenomenal. Also he happens to suffer from Alport syndrome which means he's now 80% deaf...
But anyway, Alt-J are incredible
Thanks for this comment, as it made me pay more attention to what he was doing, after which I realized that he has no hi hat and therefore keeps time with virtually everything else. Ingenious. :-)
Damn
Each member in this band is badass
Amazing.
Yes they are. When I listen I'm transported to a happy place
Strange how Alt-J have grown on me so quickly. I actually hated their music when I first heard it - but then I decided to listen through the whole album in one sitting really loud in my bedroom, then I gained an appreciation for them.
I now really love em, think they're amazing. Can't wait for their next album.
This is the first band I've ever seen that sounds just as perfect live.
omg his voice, i can't even...soo good!
I think now tho its dying, u listen to the recent live performances and it has its ups and downs. :L
That's what human voices sound like, holy shit. Are you even being serious?
Go back to autotune-land.

Listening to Alt-J sends me into a completely different world!
I get so over whelmed that I just want to cry!
LOVE THEM!!!
I sometimes find a tear in one eye or the other , thats what great music does
Just so different. Nothing sounds like them, which is the ultimate compliment. The atmosphere is amazing and the guitars at the end are sublime, but also...the drumming and rhythms are just infectious as heck. Best listened to with an herbal aid.
Or with red wine.. or nothing at all. Good in all aspects ❤
Totally agree.
First time I have listened to them 27april 2023 excellent stuff very nice 👆Thankyouxx
Still goes smoothly in 2020. Such a flawless performance
I've only watched this 8.9 million times? Humm....I thought it was more.
always come back here for this preciosity.
Do ya know the song at 2:00?
Just found this guys during quarantine 🙆🏾♂️ where was I!!!
Agora de escutar bloodflood muito chapado! 🤭
Welcome
Tessellate was always my fave
Alt-j is simply the best. Got to see them live this year and it was even better! Can't stop listening to Fitzpleasure, this live version is amazing!!!
Drummer gets a break to wipe his nose at 7:24 Cool sound effect 10/10 I can Tessellate to that.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! nice catch
gewmonster Thom is always 10/10 though 😌. In case you were wondering he does a lot of solo stuff on the side.
yeah, he was sick at the time, he's struggling through it .. .
mad respect :)
HAHAHAHAHAHA such a great comment
I scrolled up and exactly one second later it happened
Definetly a preformence that will always be rated as one the the top best and every song is great. what a completely different awsome sound that ALT-J have.
Hi! I'm still listening Alt - J
Bought the cd "this is all yours " at the library today on a hunch.Fabulous band. have played cd 3 times already. Im 63 but this music is timeless.
Only an Alt J intro to an album can be one of your favourite songs. I remember coming home from working at a pub in 2020, it was about 4 in the morning, I decided to put on some Alt J because I hadn’t heard much of them since 2016. I played this video and when I tell you I had an eargasm to Intro that’s an understatement. I felt like it was euphoric. I played it over and over again that night. For the following few months that song was in my ear everywhere I went. This started me on my journey of obsession with Alt J. Can’t wait to see them in Dublin May 23rd.
got me the same way
you're gonna love it, just caught their first night in brixton playing an awesome wave in full
My cat has 7years and her name is Matilda because of you guys. I really love you. You’re going to be huge I can’t doubt that. Keep the good work and make keep making music like you only know. ❤️
LOVE IT...Last year, I kept listening their album all the time, especially while driving at night...I put them in the same category as Bon Iver...Beautiful vocal harmonies, some folky touches...
The tape to guitar thing on Taro is pretty cool.
so cool
I always thought is was some kind of weird indian instrument ahah
@@VoOrT3xX me too! 🙈🤣
@@VoOrT3xX same :)))
Give some old Radio Head. A listen!
Safe to say Breezeblocks is a masterpiece?
easy
Yes
The whole album is a masterpiece
Bloodflood
Bloodflood is the best one lol
I’ve been listening to this live performance for 9 years and it never gets old. I get chills every time Bloodflood begins.
This is what the evolution of music is supposed to be. Unmastered, indifference between recording/Live. Yet moving forward through creativity and influence. Powerful is the word that comes to mind.
I love this drummer. He's an absolute machine...but like the good type of drum machine.
The band with the most original sound I have ever heard.
Remembering that I was listening to this years back … hello from 2022
Guess what, we’re all here in 2022 tryna find the answers to #dreamquest
The fact that I accidentally clicked on this and ended up watching the whole thing says something 😂
Hallelujah girl that's the same way I found out about them they just came into my feet and I was like what the freak no matter what anyone says of course it's just our opinion but these guys are so freaking good and such a breath of fresh air really unique stuff here
Adriana Booth I feel you LOL
Unbelievably awesome. Listened to this while coming down from a big lucy trip. By far one of the most relaxing yet addicting new sound I have come across. His voice just tickles your brain. Put on repeat and there goes the day.
Thank you so much.
This album is possibly my favourite of all time, AND this live performance still gives me goosebumps in 2024!
This recording is on point, the percussion especially! ❤❤❤
alt-J has set my soul on fire.
Nearly 10 years since this was recorded, and still listening to it and loving it like I just heard it for the first time.
As an old guy, I am absolutely amazed by the quality of music coming from this generation. Alt j, Glass Animals, etc. This level of talent and musicianship is incredible.
i am nothing without this band and this particular album. thank you, Azan.
I’ll never be able to put my finger on exactly why but this specific album has been so calming to me for years. I always find myself back here. 💗
1st interlude puts me in some sort of trance.
rite...
That’s a good sign
I'm an old guy and I have loved the Talking Heads all my life. Their unique approach to music has always intrigued me. But Alt-J is ready to step into their shoes and be truly legendary. Outstanding stuff by these guys - absolutely amazing work.
You should listen to The King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Im so happy that I heard Fitzpleasure however many years ago.. and said Yep, I need to hear what that bands album sounds like.
One of my favorite albums ever.
First alternative rock band I see with a drum kit without hi hats! Absolutely amazing!
The frontman is penetrating his guitar like a fucking God.
Alt-J will be my favorite band forever. So much inspiration for all seasons of my life.
I can't thank you enough for that.
PEACE
Who would think id still be here listening to this 10 years later.
So much years after and this is awesome...
Bloodflood sounds especially good live.
I disagree, the outro sounds not intense enough for me in this version.. And the outro is my favorite part of this song
I can understand that.
+Jérémie Labelml
Zacharias MCLeague gotta be one of the most pleasant and courteous disagreements i've seen on youtube comments lol
hey in 2022 your guys still awesome, pls make another performance.
hugs from Brazil.
Nos BR estamos em todos os lugares
Had the pleasure of seeing them live. Theres nothing so beautiful inthis world.
What's the song at 2:00??
@captaincrum1 that is the first song on their 2012 album An Awesome Wave titled "Intro"
@@alexchavez6779 Thank you so much it's such an amazing piece!!!!
Altho i find with Alt J songs unless you already know the lyrics there completely different to what I thought he was saying.
i am so in love with these guys. SO in love. the way they can create the most simple sounding parts on all instruments that come together sounding so complex and beautiful. they know what they’re doing to the brain. and don’t even get me started on the talent lyrically. my god. just in love. his voice is like no other. and the drummer is deaf?? amazing. so amazing. i am a drummer and have a slightly deaf friend who drums as well, it’s all about the vibrations and the atmosphere. the relationships they must have to stay so intact. such a beautiful world they all created that i strive for in my music. ✨
this brought tears to my eyes twice. what the fuck. so good. crazy synchronized and holy heck??? thom's drummminngngng?? phenomenal. im gonna miss seeing gwil's guitar moves but i WILL see alt-j live before i die.
See them at red rocks your brains will fall out ❤️❤️
Flop that’s awesome! Are you based in the states and where’d you travel to? Ironic cuz most bands I enjoy/ feels as though they never come to NC, Alt J came to Charlotte right after this show. Got to see the original band together and it better than I ever thought. On a hunch we stood to the right- right in front of thom drummer
me too!
the day i found out about these guys is one of the most cherished moments of my life.
FIRST TIME SEEING THESE GUYS FACES.
I AM GENUINELY SHOCKED BUT VERY VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED
I can't even find the words to express my happiness that KEXP had Alt-J in the studio 💕😅
these guys are insane live, saw them in san diego a few days ago and they were to good to describe in words
this is an amazing show. I've never seen them live. Do they ever jam? I mean, play out of the bounds of the studio versions?
they have 2 jams, one before the main sets and one before the last one, at least the one i saw thats how it was
Daredevil you and everyone else you lucky bastards LOL the way it looks right now I will never see this band Live so I will Envy those it did, I just found these guys in early 2021 how the hell does that work? Anyway I got to say it one more time this band straight up slapped me in the head the very first moment I heard them and I don't even remember how but oh my Lord what a difference what an absolute unique sound/ story and example of actual music from the core of the Soul!! these dudes flat-out do more than Rock I don't even know what to call it maybe mesmerizing??
i really love this performance, something about the acoustics of the venue really adds to the band's sound.
I remember the first time I saw them live, in a small venue in Amsterdam. It was one of the best nights of my life!
SO LUCKY
Just had my socks knocked off! What an incredible sound- so different and one of the tightest bands I've ever seen. Taro and Fitzpleasure kills.
Their second album had a not so good sound live. Although it seems that as of recent they have gotten much better
+mrepictaco vargas it's the singer that really slows them down live
This is one of those rare bands that is JUST as good if not better live. Awesome.
There is no spoon...
i was obsessed with this band for like a month. their albums are amazing.
j Iove alt-j and always wanted to see them live.... this is the next best thing.
🤘❤
Thank you Alt-J, for your music
This band is mega talented- one in a million. Their music gives me goosebumps. Bravo!
The Fuck! I never realised the Indian sounding part in Taro was played on a guitar, awesome !
Just found these guys. Painted my entire house listening to the album over and over. Thanks alt j for getting me through these times of change
Sounds like a good time!
@@tmoe6674 yes sir
I could listen to him play guitar all day, he makes it look so easy too
Every time I listen to them I get that feeling and just close my eyes and for once, I'm at complete peace and serenity.
they are actually amazing, one of the most magical sounds i've ever heard
I'm 67 and am fascinated by this band. Hypnotic is the only word to describe their work....along with the feeling that these guys "get it".
Wow bro I'm 56 and I get what you're saying 100% 1 year plus later yes I do! Seriously something different here with this whole vibe and music that this band puts out, it is almost unexplainable to me but anyway there Vibe and sound what the freak? what else can I say? I'm at a loss for words!
Escuhándolos en mi consultorio médico. Agosto 2023.
this has aged exceptionally well so far
