Over 40+ years of playing and enjoying music, visiting shows and seeing all my inspirations onstage - I must admit that I've never seen and experienced anything like this Devin show. It was like teleporting from a movie through a cartoon into a beach to a theatre scene ending the other side of the universe and back. I can clearly recall a couple (most probably wife+husband) watching the show before me, both having DTP logos tattooed to their necks. They cried, fry screamed, laughed, hugged, hedbanged, cried again - during the same song! The emotional rollercoaster ride during this show was stunning.
Insane that this was performed live to such perfection. It sounds so close to the studio version. Absolutely mind blowing performance by Devin and all the other musicians.
Props to the backup singers. They were amazing live. I remember one of them started tearing up just before Spirits Will Collide. Maybe the content hit them personally. But it was moving to see.
@@TheDarkMessiah He is brilliant at reworking songs. Check out the variations of the song Kingdom. It's been polished and repolished many times. But it's crazy how many places he finds to shove things in there.
what did I just see??!! Devin , you are Genius! I sit here with my mouth open and tears running down my cheeks. In decades there was no Musician who impressed me so much! God give me the chance to meet you one day and see your live show.
Morgan is more have a powerful Jazz drummer. That’s why I was surprised Devin chose him for the tour, I didn’t know if he could keep up with the fast metal stuff but I was proved dead wrong. I should known to trust Devin.
No offense to Devin's past bandmates (any of them, they were all fantastic) but it's absolutely awesome to see him finally surrounded by virtuosic, world-class musicians. Nathan especially never ceases to stun me
Literally took my breath away. How this was even possible LIVE from them all brings tears of joy to my eyes. For all the shittiness that people are capable of, that people are also able to create such art, beauty and positive power just makes me crumple onto the floor. Man, the day that Devy has to stop, will be a very sad day.
@@mikesmith30000 Mate, complaining because Morgan Agren doesn't play a blastbeat 'properly' is like dismissing Christopher Wren for not being a good bricklayer. Agren is on a completely different level, playing in a completely different way. And I for one would take one drummer who can play a ton of different styles over all the UA-cam blastbeat merchants in the world.
I'm just trying to figure out how I can hear a choir... Perhaps there are some pads on the keyboard for these sections. Must be a pretty complex rig for this song! Or I suppose some sort of effect on the backing vocals might be the key. I just can't fathom how they have pulled this off without click & backing tracks! Amazing!
@@MooseyFate100 I think it is, I remember Dev saying that Mike laid down that little guitar thing and that he couldn't dream of playing something like that, let alone come up with it
Morgan is an absolutely world class drummer! Sure, Samus does great blast beats (and is overall a fabulous drummer), but drumming is more than speed. Tomas Haake said that when he needed to figure out some extra tricky drum part, he took it up with Morgan. He’s just a wizard. 👍🤘
devin is an opera metal singer most stuff he does is like an orchestra btween madness and metal with alternating clean vocals and screams ,but love his heavy guitar tone
Had a great time at this gig. It was the first gig I have ever gone to with my Dad. He's a Thin Lizzy, Rainbow and Pink Floyd fan so I lent him Empath to see what he thought. Then when he said he liked it I brought him a ticket for his 60th. You can see my dad, husband, brother in law and me beside the sound deck at the end of this video! We had such a fantastic time. I'm super hyped to see the live video as I hadn't noticed Devin was wearing a skirt! The curses of being 5ft 5 in a crowd of tall people and not being allowed to go to the front. :-)
One of the best performers ever! We are fortunate to be seeing him burning the stage with his aura🙏🤘🏼 And huge respect for Morgan as well. Beast drummer. Loved seeing them playing together.
THIS is what I Love about Progressive Music.... Nothing but a Musical Journey and Adventure! Devin Townsend is an absolute Master of this! Forever a fan! ^v^
I didn't know that this guy existed. WTF! I feel like a visitor from other planet. How is it possible that I didn't even knew about this guy. Ok, I'm from Argentina, I live far from this bald beast, but nevertheless, how is it possible that I never heard about him. I will talk to all my music geeks down here. Maybe it's just me that I'm ignorant, or maybe it's one of those Mandela effect things. Either way I'll have to watch it again.
Genesis has turned into one of my favourite songs actually. I love that it is all over the place. It is everything. It is so much. But it all means something. There are subtle things and loud things and cute things and metal things. It is everything I love about Devin. 💜
It's insane how good a singer he is.
O.....my.....God.........I'm flattened
not many bands can ever claim to come close to this level of performance. Devin is an other-worldly being
I need to be careful not to understate this: this is the greatest thing that has happened in the history of the world.
You convey an adequate amount of carefulness
HA HA HA HA! Thanks man, I needed a good laugh. But make no mistake, He is a genius who makes great music!

Amen brother!!
I want to keep liking this comment

His live performance sound quality blows away most studio albums.
I love this Song!
Being able to pull this off live is... something
This is just unbelievable. The song itself is incredible and even attempting to perform it live is mind blowing let alone actually pulling it off!
Cool rock and roll
That is an insane amount of talent and skill packed within a single song.
Props to the backup singers. They were amazing live. I remember one of them started tearing up just before Spirits Will Collide. Maybe the content hit them personally. But it was moving to see.
That was at the Nottingham gig.
can I just say how much I love the juxtaposition of metal and Ché Aimee bouncing around in a big puffy dress?
Yep.Love it too.
NO other vocalist can rip your head off and melt your heart at the same time in one breath!!!
Devin Townsend,Mike Patton, Chino Moreno
@@härjaren mike patton no, chino no, i already sais devin
How had I not heard of this guy 2 weeks ago? Like holy hell.
Welcome in friend :3 Devin is the best!
I see Devin, I click play. No questions asked.
Dude....this man is an inspiration on so many levels. Thank you for existing in our life time
Damn dude, how'd you get Dave Gilmour on rhythm guitar
lol
Dave Gilmour wishes he could play like Mike Keneally. ;)
@@brbernardini God Bless you for speaking such deep truth
Brian Bernardini not even mike agrees with that hahaha
I'm sure Mike would take that as a huge compliment 😜
Bloody hell that's even more intense than the album... how is that even possible?
I've only gotten into Dev recently, maybe a couple of months at this point, but "this is better than on the album" seems to be a thing with him.
@@TheDarkMessiah He is brilliant at reworking songs. Check out the variations of the song Kingdom. It's been polished and repolished many times. But it's crazy how many places he finds to shove things in there.
@@mikesolomon5584 lol true, don't even talk to me about WAR, holy crap.
The whole Order of Magnitude album is gold.
Devin is his own genre...this is amazing
This is one of the most insane live drum performances I've ever seen.
Inmenso siempre, saludos desde Colombia
this is my favorite video in this universe. happy to be born in the right time to experience it
Devin Townsend is my favorite Doctor
All genre in one music
So great Devin
Lovely skirt, Dev. Che is gorgeous too
I didn't notice until I saw your comment lol
I think Dev didn't want Che to be the only one with bare legs on stage. Or he got jealous.
Kilt
@@realPenrodPooch nah that's a tutu
Yes and yes ✊🏼
I met Devin a couple of times....He's a class act all the way!
what did I just see??!! Devin , you are Genius! I sit here with my mouth open and tears running down my cheeks. In decades there was no Musician who impressed
me so much! God give me the chance to meet you one day and see your live show.
This is 10.000 times better than the studio version!
This is the Bohemian Rhapsody of our generation
Che looks like she's having so much damn fun up there, it's infectious.
Shes gorg! i wanna be up there rockin out with her :)
omg the mix is immense, what a band
I actually would prefer the drums to be more punchy and clear like with DTP, but damn it's indeed great
@@seenbelow Drums are punchy, it's just that Morgan isn't really a metal drummer.
@@NervousProject yet he still nailed the 270 bpm blast beats
Morgan is more have a powerful Jazz drummer. That’s why I was surprised Devin chose him for the tour, I didn’t know if he could keep up with the fast metal stuff but I was proved dead wrong. I should known to trust Devin.
@@Amrani964he used pads to help (and I don’t blame him for it at all)
Probably one of the most technical songs ever written by any artist ever. Tell me I'm wrong.
This is the type of songs we dream of and wake up wishing them were real
Devin you are the king
This is music and art at the zenith of the pyramid.
This is the song of all time
He's like the Bjork of Metal. I think it would so awesome if he collaborated with her.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Morgan Ågren! What an amazing drummer!!
Really enjoyed working with him on the ( Defragmentism Project ) by Robert Ritchiesse
No offense to Devin's past bandmates (any of them, they were all fantastic) but it's absolutely awesome to see him finally surrounded by virtuosic, world-class musicians. Nathan especially never ceases to stun me
I miss Gene
Mike Keneally literally looks like a prog metal David Gilmour in this video
Yeah for a second I was like "WTF, is that Gilmour?" haha
Dude, to a T! Spot on!
Oh shit. Is that really Mike keneally??? I'm kinda more stoked for that then Gilmore
I had to stop and rewind to check if it was Dave or not lol
Devin belongs to the same Circle of Musicians as Zappa was. Outstanding and definitely on a higher Level than anyone can reach
Literally took my breath away. How this was even possible LIVE from them all brings tears of joy to my eyes. For all the shittiness that people are capable of, that people are also able to create such art, beauty and positive power just makes me crumple onto the floor. Man, the day that Devy has to stop, will be a very sad day.
This song has the greatest identity crisis ever found in music - but somehow it's still epic.
"... all without click tracks or backing tracks". Yeah, man, that's what I've been waiting for! The 2CD+DVD pack is going to be MINE!
Can you save a copy for me???
FOMO!
Got to have!
Morgan trying to metal it with pads without @66samus. I mean I live the effort but I see the holes.
I was looking for a full band townsend show then he released this and i was happy.

There is literally nothing this band can't do. Absolutely stellar.
A composition of a brilliant madman. I love it.
Mike Keneally casually playing that ostinato at 4:50 as an arpeggio, like an absolute badass he is.
I don't even think it's like that on the album
@@MooseyFate100 I think it is, I remember Dev saying that Mike laid down that little guitar thing and that he couldn't dream of playing something like that, let alone come up with it
Jesus that drummer is monstrously good. Well just like everyone else :)
update: its Morgan Ågren and everyone else is not as good as him.
He is great, but those Samus blasts are... not this guy's style, to say the least, lol.
@@anolaf Exactly, we need Samus handling the blasts
isn't he Morgan Ågren? he is indeed a top drummer.
Morgan is an absolutely world class drummer! Sure, Samus does great blast beats (and is overall a fabulous drummer), but drumming is more than speed. Tomas Haake said that when he needed to figure out some extra tricky drum part, he took it up with Morgan. He’s just a wizard. 👍🤘
@@anolaf he needed 2 HAND PLAYED e-pads to do the faster double bass parts. if you look closely everytime he accelerates past 16ths on the "feet"
If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I would not have believed it possible.
Actual goosebumps........wow
Interesting how Morgan has adapted by playing the insanely fast double bass parts by playing with his hands on drum pads, CLEVER!
This was the last gig I went to before lock down, and it was f***ing awesome, thanks Devin
Same here.
Same! Couldn't have been a better last hurrah before it all went south, though!
Lockdown is the reason I wasn't able to see this show. I am sad everyday because of it
Same here!
Also same in Brooklyn at the end of Feb.
devin is an opera metal singer most stuff he does is like an orchestra btween madness and metal with alternating clean vocals and screams ,but love his heavy guitar tone
this is stupidly good
Without fail, I watch this every day

Oh Lord, thanks for the internet - I can hear and see it all.
Thank you for existing
David Gilmour tapping guitar was the highlight of the show!
Where is the f... LOVE button? Hail to the King Devin!
I saw this show. Was phenomenal. Best audience vibes I've had at a concert. Dev made sure each and every one of us felt loved by the end.

Morgan I love your awesome work!! Tremendo baterista!!
this is the greatest thing i've ever seen
Unbelievable. This is gonna be my funeral song. Even better than the studio version!!!!
I've been lucky enough to see them live last year. One of the best concerts I've ever seen!
Same here! Mindblowing!
Coffee 'N' Stuff even my girlfriend liked it and she doesn’t even like metal! Incredible
@@PietroBlanca Haha, nice! I try to turn everybody I know onto his music. :D
Saw him here in the states just before all this hit, he was incredible
Got to see him in Oslo in november, one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
This. Is. Foken. Amazing.
hats of to the sound engineer!
i saw this live. it was insanely good sounding.
Holy mother that was INSANE!
That chorus is amazing
It flows tru out my body when i listen .wow😄
So many thumbs up
Genius!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Chills and a huge smile, every single time I watch this. What an incredible song.
Damn I love this song. It's like Devin's whole discography crammed into 6 minutes. And it works superbly.
Exactly. It’s his masterpiece.
This song is a masterpiece. One of the best songs ever written IMO
Goodness gracious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Transcends genre and definition. Just shear talent and experience. Perfect.
@C B That’s just like, your opinion manZ
The epic journey that is devin townsend 🤘😎
Greetings from Germany! There was an epic show in Hamburg last year. Unforgettable musicians!°!!
Just ordered the vinyl :)
Magnificent!!
Genius🤘😍😍😍
Can't wait to see hear me live
What a Team You are!!🙏
Can't wait to have this record fit nicely alongside Retinal Circus, By a Thread, Plovdiv, and Royal Albert Hall 😁
Same here!
Beyond. This is Beyond.
Absolutely stunning
Strapping Young Lad LIVES in Devin. 🤘👽
There's only one word for this.... MAJESTIC.
Devin, we love you...
AWESOMEEEEEE!!!!!
Genesis has turned into one of my favourite songs actually. I love that it is all over the place. It is everything. It is so much. But it all means something. There are subtle things and loud things and cute things and metal things. It is everything I love about Devin. 💜
EMPATH is amazing!
It would be awesome to see this album alive in it's entirely!
Went to the Glasgow show, one of the best gigs I've been to. And I'm old- I've seen hundreds of bands!
even after listening to this hundreds of times 2:01 still gives me god damn chills.
with nathan navarro playing bass! wonderful!
