Amazing job by TYS and The Bluecoats, along with Doug Thrower's awesome, apparently last-minute arrangement. Sounds like we have another collaboration coming up too - super excited!
This has no right to be this good. I have listened to this performance probably 50+ times over the past 5 years, and I keep coming back to find that it continues to sound better every time. Absolutely incredible.
Antoni Soroka also to be fair, the full hornline didn’t have nearly as many parts as the small ensemble in front did. So what you’re mainly hearing is the 8? Or so members that are in the front. Most of the full brass sections are towards the end when it picks up and you hear it more. Regardless, what an insane experience 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I don't see why not. They've added so many elements since the beginning of DCI, many of which seem blasphemous if you are either a long time fan or actually marched back in the day. Don't get me wrong, I still love DCI and still go to my local show every summer (well except for 2020 because everything sucks this year) but it can be quite a shock if you haven't been following them all along and you show up and see trombones out on the field, a keyboard player in the pit who also doubles as a DJ to sometimes play pre-recorded sounds, giant speakers for amplification of various mic'd instruments, including all of the soloists, and last but not least, giant set-pieces carted out onto the field. It can be quite a shock to the system to see all of these things when you grew up listening to, and watching, drum and bugle corps. Times have changed, and so has DCI. They've adapted and moved along. I won't be surprised at all if and when they decide to allow woodwind instruments, although I'd have to admit it will be really weird to see.
I've been a fan for 4ish years now since being introduced over some board games. Last night, I attended the Detroit show with BTBAM and won't miss another show. A Thank you Scientist headliner would be a dream-level event.
As a Western NJ resident, I'm PROUD to see my home state REPRESENTED so SAFELY. Praise be to THANK YOU SCIENTIST for blessing us BARGAIN BOYS with this masterpiece of MUSIC.
What a frickin JAM!!!! Another amazing song by one of the most criminally underknown and best bands on this planet!!! Thank you scientist!!! Thank you. So much. I absolutely LOVE your music!! And those parts with the guitar and xylophones shredding together!? I creamed myself. ALOT. JUST WOW....what else can I say? FUUUUUUCKING WOWWWWWW!
Still listening to this regularly. Thank you scientist is undoubtedly the most underrated and underappreciated prog rock band out there, and arguably the most talented. Please keep making music and absolutely crushing it. I need more 😩😩😩😩
I had the privilege to see them Live at the Sylvee in Madison with Coheed and Cambria. They played this song months ago. When I returned home after the concert I was mortified at my inability to find this song anywhere. Months later I'm over joyed to find that the song does exist. Was beginning to think I'd need a map of non-existent places to find it again.
DAMN!! The drummers Oyasumi Pun Pun shirt is honestly the best first impression I could have ever gotten from this entire band. Parts of the song reminded me of the very specific brand of positivity a lot of J-Rock has, and I'm glad to see it wasn't just me. I wish more bands would utilize Piano/Violin/Brass like J-Rock does, it adds so much power and passion to the music.
lol ngl this comment sounded word for word off of another comment from the trash taste podcast lol, but yeah oyasumi pun pun is probably the greatest manga i’ve ever read
dude, this album was released under claudio's label. they're practically coheed and cambria with some sort of parallel universe michael stevens as the frontman
Holy shit, I would damn near kill someone to see this played live. The intro alone was so fuckin' powerful. No speaker I play this on would ever do the live version justice. If you guys ever take the Bluecoats on tour with you I would be eternally grateful. And as everyone else has already said, I don't know what you lace the marimba/vibes players' coke with, but I hope to God you have plenty more. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go to the ER to take care of the whiplash this performance has given me.
Rest assured the marimba players were extremely dehydrated! We would love to tour with the bluecoats, however I’m sure it would be a budgetary and logistical nightmare
I've been listening to "TERRAFORMER" a lot since we went into quarantine. Thank you for the awesome tunes to help keep my mind off everything else that is going on in the world.
I have just now discovered this band. I discovered them because I'm going to see them in two weeks with BTBAM. I'd never heard of them until this minute. I just might be more excited about seeing these guys than BTBAM. I absolutely fucking love this!!
brand new fan and as soon as i heard your music i could hear the influence and knew your sound would pair well with a drum corps/winter percussion, and y'all were waaay ahead of me on that! You guys are a fantastic band and Bluecoats rule!
This is the first time ever listening to or seeing this band. Was not expecting that type of vocals from that man! Really enjoyed the vibes of this song! 👌
Can't believe I just stumbled across this at 2:30am for the first time.....consider yourselves having a new fan :D hopefully you'll come to the UK again once the pandemic is over :)
What in world! OMFG, you guys are fuckin insane!!! How did you manage to pull off Jazz fusion in prog rock so beautifully? You made me hallucinate without pills!! Love you guys already, you guys sick, mental and astonishing🤘
I'm hearing some serious Marhavishnu Orchestra vibes. Definitely coming to see you when you come to the UK in August! Love that you've got the musicianship as well as the catchiness. You guys da 💣
welcome back fellas! saw y'all open for Coheed in Charlotte at the Filmore, and you had me hooked from the opening of "Feed your Horses" 🙌 keep doin the Lord's work 🍻
GODS I was so pumped when I saw this I almost cried. My favourite band and my favourite drum corps all in one!! It's like a dream come true!! Please come to Dallas/Fort Worth, I gotta take my lil bro to see you!! He's been in drum corps the last 3 years (Genesis, Phantom, and now Mandarins) and me and him have a strong band nerd bond and connect over music like this all the time
FlowerGirlPower Isn't this incredible? I marched back in the 60's, so that's great for your lil bro, it'll make him a man, as it did me! I hope he enjoyed his Phantom experience, and I still think that '08 Spartacus was the best show ever!
Just got contacted by my buddy who has an extra ticket to ProgPower USA, and he invited me to come along. Checked you guys out from the web page and I'm excited to see you guys! I just sent this to my best friend--you know, that one music nerd friend who gets drunk and shows you his favorite DCI shows--in hopes that he'll buy a ticket too.
okay using a megaphone to make a compressed audio effect was really cool...

I love how you continue to have a relationship with the Bluecoats after Jagged Line

Its Insane to even compose such a Part. Only Frank Zappa did STUFF like that before in 1975.

Technically it isn’t even a guitar solo, it’s just some wild ass transition that is ultra complex, because fuck it.
This vocalist is a legend to sing like that live
Their shows are so good
I know at first I was thinking it was the studio mix vocals but no, it's not
Listen to Haken live and you will be amazed how great he sings live... total opposite from James Labrie lol

Which symphony orchestra?
OMG U WERE OUTSIDE OF MY SCHOOL, how did I not see you guys
During the summer we loaned our field to the blue coats to practice, that's when they were their I assume
@@darthevan01 During the summer of 2018 the blue devils and a couple other drum corps marched on our field for a competition.
Omg as a marching and prog nerd, this makes me veryyy happy tingley
I love the fact that all the corps guys started moshing during the heavy phrase at the end.
First time I've listened to a non-album performance and I never imagined the singers voice would be this clean live what the heck
yeah, he's good
From a 72 year old, I love that sound you guys are making. Keep it up..
5:10 gives me chills evey time.
The drummer is wearing Oyasumi Punpun shirt, I have a lot of respect for that
Ahmad Al Hothali and Def Leppard shorts
bruh, i thought i'd be the only one to spot that xD jaja
This!
Yeah she's great
And Afro samurai headband
As someone who did front line in high school, it pleases me so much to hear those crisp mallet runs with the guitars, especially around 6:15
I said it before, I'll say it again. I'd definitely pick Sal first in Dodgeball. He just has that look.
Don’t sleep on Ben, the boy has moves
@@thankyouscientist he's also a stick so he'd effortlessly dodge everything
This has no right to be this good. I have listened to this performance probably 50+ times over the past 5 years, and I keep coming back to find that it continues to sound better every time. Absolutely incredible.
The mix, the HORNS BABY, the visuals. This band is so TIGHT. I also find myself coming back to this often.
Love it, though I wish the corps came out in the mix more. They got buried most of the time.
Antoni Soroka I agree, but even still the horns were so much punchier in certain parts with their backup.
Antoni Soroka also to be fair, the full hornline didn’t have nearly as many parts as the small ensemble in front did. So what you’re mainly hearing is the 8? Or so members that are in the front. Most of the full brass sections are towards the end when it picks up and you hear it more. Regardless, what an insane experience 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I get them being in the back, but I wish they had like a little solo section or something.
Umm no way. They were balanced great. Listen on something other than a phone speaker.
Can't expect too much, a lot of school bands are rhythmic loudness
This actually caused happiness in me - love the band, love the concept, love the Bobby Weir shorts, loved it all. Thank you Thank You Scientist!
Shout out for the bob weir shout out,, weir everywhere (~);}
