It's an intergalactic hip hop opera set in the distant future. It's one of most insanely ambitious ideas that I can think of and they stuck the landing. Artistic gold.
As much as I love this, I would argue that his work as Deltron for those albums is pretty good for concept work. Concept albums as a whole are very much becoming a lost art and I love a good concept album. So this is no faint praise from me. Yet when it comes to being an opera even stuff like Avantasia cannot claim to truly be one and that project is a hundred times more ambitious than the Deltron 3030 albums (and even presents itself as a heavy metal opera, at least originally in the first 2 albums). Note than in an opera there is a complete story within the music. The Deltron stuff feels more like two anthologies from the same setting.
btw Avantasia's failing is that you need to read the liner notes to get the whole story. Thus not a complete story contained within the music.
addendum: Don't get me wrong, Avantasia is utterly amazing. ffs they had more singers on one song than most ska bands have members.
Del is gold for sure
this albums a masterpiece
FreshmenBolts 100% was very ahead of the times. It felt larger than life listening to it.
Fuck yeah!!!
3030 way past the millennium composed as a marriage gift for a couple of friends in 1970 and originally released two years later.ua-cam.com/video/FYAiibLnnXE/v-deo.html
that is for sure :)
Yeah definitely top 5 hiphop albums of all time for me. Along with about 10-15 other albums :P
The amount of lyrics this guy has to remember. It's frickin' unbelievable.
It is
But look at eminem tho
Not to mention he's tripping balls, high out of his mind.
@Matthew V. He's been trippin' ballz 4 Life. On the Natural, since birth.
Also he has to keep the beat
Shoutout to the peeps that play this in the year 3030! Hope yall on mars got good wifi lol
Hahaha! Wtf!!
+Vlog Hog "wifi" will probably be some ancient communication technique to them
pretty sure the cats on mars will have wifi bio engineered straight to the dome, how else would one be a high tech archaeologist searching for nick knacks. gotta have that brain app son.
That's if we don't blow each other to oblivion
Vlog Hog good looking out my man
Rap with an orchestra. So awesome and unique. and a horn section. Everything is better with a horn section.
you got that right!!!
Saw a video of Eyenine doing it as well but it seems to be a pretty rare thing which is a shame. Love to mash up of genres
Exactly that's why Earth Wind and Fire is my favorite Band there Horn section is Awesome.
Earth Wind and Fire set the groundwork for everything like this
@@yukimaruzam really? I rekon it got more inspiration from Geoff Wayne's War of the Worlds
I like to think that this whole performance is just the triumphant conclusion to the trombone player's story arc.
It started in 5th grade when some jackass told her that playing trombone would never be cool.
😂 hell yeah, she’s in her moment
That's awesome!
tumeke bro
Word. This is why the internet can be awesome, this kind of love.
I need more. She makes this.

and battlesong?
Thanks for this man.
No Madness?
@@Gibson-zq7tb probably cut for time.
I love Del, he doesn't spit 80% of the sentence and have his hype man finish it. Sure, sometimes he seems a little short on breath but that's how it should be when you perform that many words. This is real hip-hop.
He's like 50-ish and very obviously baked as fuck here lmfao
This is... INSANELY good. I never imagined this would translate so well live. Great album
I completely agree. I hear an album like this and have no idea how much it is produced, and this really means something playing it with actual instruments and rap live! And of course a horn section. Everything is better with a horn section.
I knew it would
The original black hippie with that off step flow. Severely underrated
As pointed out by some others, the trombone lady really stands out in terms of really 'jamming out' to all the songs. I think it's awesome to see band members really 'feeling it'. I know it hyped me up, seeing how she was really into it!
she arranges all of the orchestra parts. I went to college with her
@@tomsilveira5528 Wow! Freakadelic!
Exact same thing I said. Glad I’m not the only one Who appreciates her appreciation for the jams
This album is a classic, you definitely can tell who's been rocking it for years. The drummer too!!! Shiittt if I was asked to play a bongo here I would rock that bongo madd Ill 3030 style
Okay, youtube bot
Everyone is sucked into the mainstream and dont see or think artist like this exist.
Why am I just now finding this in 2024? Been listening to the album for a long time but never knew there was a live recording!
This version of Positive Contact is awesome
Seriously funky.
Memory Loss was sick.
Hell yeah it is.
i liked 3030
Amazing!! Yes
This album will forever be in my music rotation. Especially showing it to people who’ve never heard it. They don’t believe me when I tell them it’s over 20 years old now. Timeless.
My older brother showed me this album in the early 2000’s when I was just a young teenager and it spread like a VIRUS through all my friends. We still jam it all the time. My brother passed away tragically a few years ago and it’s been tough man. But I’ve kept living and jamming to this makes me feel his presence. Forever grateful!
I love how all the musicians are digging the composition too. Bridging the gap between musicians, artists & DJ's alike. Creating something maybe a little ahead of its time?
Check out Skratch Bastid at CPA high school wind ensemble. Pretty cool!
By 1000 years
Straight from 3030
trombone girl goes hard
She is actually feeling the vibe not just reading the notes.
Preparing ForSHTF
Trumbone has no buttons. You have to feel it all. I used to play one. If you aren't into it you're just shooting in the dark.
Spencer Arthur Jeanne Geiger, ladies and gentlemen.
Had the opportunity to tell her how she rocked after this show!
Haha. I saw that too. That’s what’s up!
Amazing show with orchestra and choir: Del, Dan, Kid Koala, Taka Tozawa on guitars, Alex Swain on drums, Juan Alderete on bass... and Jeanne Geiger on trombone!
Trombone girl got the rhythm and feel yo! Anyone else notice how at 38:15 she does that female voice part? She starts out of sync but gets in sync quickly. Notice how she's the only one doing it? You can see some of the other members in the band looking at her. Seems like that part was supposed to be recording entirely. But she couldn't hold it in and joined the vocals! Big respect! It sounded great!
thank u for pointing that out. Bloodygood
Del even says "wow" when she starts singing. He wasn't expecting it mos def
I've watched this video twice as much JUST because of her!
This is beautiful. A masterful rapper, a DJ, a horns section, a strings section, backup singers, a goddamn conductor. A true blending of musical styles. Deltron is one of the best ever.
2024 and this is still one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums ever created. This live performance of it is next level.
The chick on the trombone is jammin the fuck out
I fell in love
Seriously she jams so hard the audience is just waiting for her to spit a del verse
i literally was thinking the same thing when i read this! lol
She dropped some acid before the set
Seriously, good on her. She looked like she was having the time of her life. Singing into her horn mic, even.
kid koala tho...sounds like he'd been waiting 13 years to get another crack at this album, dudes goin hard
Sure its Dan the Automaton see what's in my bag 3030
in the paint goin hord!!!
William Evans pretty sure dan the Automator originally produced it but in this koala is djing while dan conducts
@@sprb4725 no, Koala was on the original as well.
AMN. Espinosa yeah I just found out, blew my mind. He plays that turntable like it’s a horn section lol
How awesome is it to see Kid Koala do this shit live by hand and memory....his hands are mixing and blending and actually scratching the entire show...something you don't see anymore.. this was nuts.. just wish that either a recorded Joseph Gordon Levitt or somebody did the preamble to The Return. That gives me the goose bumps every time I hear it.
In it Dan the Automaton?
ya word!!!!
@@williamevans747 it looks like Automator is conducting
I think q-bert is the only scratch dj that is better than kid koala
Maybe revolution is up there with him...
And if course roc raida(r.i.p.)
That trombone player is having the best time ever. I love it.
Probably the best KEXP performance of all time.
clean performance... no yelling, no sloppy hype man also yelling, no muddy loud DJ scratches, no prerecorded un-live beat... this is the oposite
hip hop in 80s babies generation bro yall got rap now not really hip hop at all
Koala is the overlooked glue of the whole unit. Pure magic.
First time hearing Del live, he sounds as good as he does in the studio!
Almost... not hating at all, but the only artist I've seen with redder glowing eyes than Pharrell in NERD or B-Real with Prophets of Rage. I saw DVS (Pretty Lights) live, but couldn't see his eyes. Morello said not even B-Real could hang with that guy.
No "Madness"??!! I'm caught in the grip of the city, MADNESS
The poignant beauty of John Lennon's son singing those words made my emotions swell Everytime. 😓
@@Suchapill Sean Lennon sings the part in Memory Loss... Madness is a sample from the Poppy Family (maybe the reason they couldnt use it)
UA-cam is the best thing on the net now... I never even heard of a LIVE performance of Deltron 3030 let alone witness one (even though its a recorded video)... Shoutout to Del the Funky Homosapien... You still got mad love from the "Town"...
Is it recorded though? Some of the intro obviously is, and there are other elements too, but most o it seems to be live. Nothing wrong with having prerecorded elements either, it increases versatility and creativity in composition (there are some things that just can't be played live).
@@awesomeferret I don't think Lowercase G was implying that any of this wasn't performed live; he was simply saying that this (a live performance recorded to be put onto UA-cam) is the closest thing he can get to physically witnessing a live performance of Deltron 3030. 🙂
Del is my favorite rapper of all time. His voice style, his lyrical style, the sophistication of his lyrics. I won't say he's "better" than any other rapper. But for me, he's it.
It's amazing Del can remember all those crazy lyrics.
My god. This man is a genius. I'm just glad to be living in the same time as he is. Crazy.
Hearing this album in the early 2000s is what made me a hip-hop fan. Del is forever
3rd eye vision and cypress hill black Sunday sold me, this was the cherry on top
he dominates with lyurics and story!! he don't rap about the hood, he raps a syfy story, he deserves much more credit than what has been given to him. I salute this man. He is one of a kind.
Oh Yeahhhhhh..
The great thing about Del though is hes versatile AF. I mean on his 90s albums for instance he does have songs where he talks about the hood and street shit (although not in a glorifying way.. its more like storytelling) but then he can turn around and make a song about video games and sci fi and all that kinda stuff lol Hes awesome.
I hope people from the band see this and know that their performance made my freakin day. This brought a lot of joy to a mediocre Monday!
The year is 2019 and this is the best live performance I’ve seen on UA-cam ever. How did I just stumble upon this?
The year is now 2022 and I feel the same way, Tan
You guys haven't seen "fishmans 98.12.28" yet? I love this live performance but fishmans will forever be legendary so I must put fishmans above this
3030 @Tan,all good 😢...for some.
This is a hell of a production and show. This man is brilliant.
You know, it’s easy to have all music automated and be up there , but this dude hired 75 people to do a truly live show.
I'm so happy this performance exists.
That trombone player really gets into it lol
loved it!
Just found this for the first time in 2022. So dope 🔥
Goddamn this shit is so dope. Del has been doing his thing for 20 plus years now and my dude ain't never fell off, he's gotten better like no MC from the 90s has. It warms my heart to see a true hip-hop artist taking steps and more steps to advance the music I love and breathe. Been down with Del since Mr Dobolina. Who's been in the game for over 20 years and still making moves like Del? Props to The Automator!
I love how in to it the one trombonist gets....
I love trombone girl!
Agreed! She totally knew the words, and got so into it! It got me excited!
zd4w9 Seriously! She jams out as hard as anyone in this video!
Da Butchaman Indeed. She clearly wasn't performing for the sake of performing, she was performing because she is a fan of the work - and this I can get behind.
Definitely. Could you imagine being a musician and you get that call? "We need a trombonist to play Deltron 3030. You free?"
The way hip hop should be done... to many shows I have seem are just a guy yelling at me as his friend plays a record. That’s not a performance, this is a performance. Much respect to del , I remuneration rocking him in 92/ he is so original. Okland provides such brilliant original music, and lyricist
Incredible performance. Epic album which stood the test of time perfectly!
These guys together are a hip hop treasure my God
Watching Del perform this album with a full orchestra at Stern Grove in SF was the best concert experience of my life
What? Just 200k views in almost 3 years? Why? This is absolutely great music by all measures. Sometimes I don't get how youtube works.
I like the low view count. It's cult music.
I honestly would have paid thousands to be there.
Thanks for getting this on YT.
Loving the live orchestra on this show.
S/O to Del! Deltron 3030 was one of the first instrumental records i listened and wrote to. Public library never got it back lol
One of the greatest albums in any genre right here...
That journey gave me goosebumps. Love this group of talent and positive contact
So good, Holy shit. One of the most imaginative hip hop acts around. KEXP fuckin killin it as always. DELTRON FOREVER!
the mars volta is one of my favorite bands and seeing juan alderete play bass with deltron 3030 is like crossover of the century
Del the funky homosapien ftw
Fuhrdaddy maybe like 10 years ago yeah.
andgalactus1 Yeah your reason for commenting was what? Trying to win the biggest douche award of 2015?
andgalactus1 his voice is especially raspy in this performance. probably had a cold or something. del is still the shiznit tho
+Pan Pan yeah it's a pitty .. he usually own live, but never the less everything else ... live performance ... massive xD
maybe too much smoking over the years
So much about this is right, so right it becomes surreal... This album has been with me for years and never gets old. A timeless work. The addition of Event II highlights the brilliance of the original even more. (but no Virus wft?)
Ikr Virus is amazing
yes juan is playing bass with deltron, but that trombone player is feeling this whole thing!
Would love to see del live
Del wasn't at his best but it really doesn't matter... The fact that this even happened is amazing....Had me mesmerized.
He still got all the lyrics right, which is amazing.
I'll make my offspring celebrate this album in the year 3030
Just discovered this live performance....SUPER happy to have this to jam to on this hazy 2020 day.
DELTRON KING👑
Wow this was breath taking. This takes me back to high school! My friends and I sitting at our table bumping del out of my friends Osiris g bag, freestyling and battling any mcs that came to us. Dan the Automator and kid koala are amazing, I wish he would have done more from 3030 but he's obviously trying to promote the new album. Regardless this was great. Thank you kexp!
Its not often that you hear something live that sounds almost EXACTLY like the studio version!! GOOD STUFF!!!!
Heinrich Evers - I didn't think that sounded anything like the studio version. The orchestra was fantastic, maybe better than what was originally recorded, however Del seemed out of it and like +andgalactus1 said above, he had very little passion and was most likely inebriated.
Respect for using real instruments and not just 2 turntables. The brass section on POINT!!! It let the music "breathe"
Saw this show live in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, one of the best shows ever...
22:35 is just another example of why Kid Koala is one of the world's best DJ's. The guy style is smooth like butter.
So wild I’m only just now seeing this performance. 3030 was on repeat nonstop around 2011-2014. Haven’t listen to these tunes in years but still remember 90% of the lyrics. Del the man!
Good Lord, how did I miss this performance?
True kool. Thank goodness😅 We used to ride the what outa this album.
2020 I am in love with 3030.
Genius.
And, ‘02 and ‘03, we were in love with 3030.
This literally gave me chills, then brought a tear to my eye with how great it sounds. Thx, Del.
It's my duty to tell everyone here that this guy was destroying hip hop from the early 90s and on...one of the greats from an era for sure. Classic voice.
I feel fairly confident when I say that this album is fairly close to what is hip hop's version of Dark Side of the Moon.
This album particularly was way beyond its time and if/when humanity gets to the year 3030...this album will absolutely be listened to if we still have ears. Otherwise perhaps the music will be experienced in an n-dimesional space designed for the human race to experience art and history.
This album changed my life, so unique!
how awesome to see it live
12:21-12:30 she loves her job
Who wouldn't!
OMFG I FOUND THIS BY ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!
yup real talk !!! there number one is my number three on my number one playlist
Is there anymore artist like him?
@@mattelollol1 I suggest Kool Keith AKA Dr. Octagon. Album: Dr. Octagonecologyst
Same. Holy shit.
@@franskoster9572 Yeah its good shit!
The first time i heard this album my mind was overflowing and i felt like going into coma it was such a "Oh my fucking god" moment. These artists that keep inovating and doing original content like this and of other kinds, to a special meaning to me in music as an art form, are truly something else, regardless of money or fame or power, just for the sake of creating something unique and beautiful.
You've Berserk. Your opinion matters. :)
AMAZING!! This is what I've seen everytime I've heard this album, especially as a teen! Deltron brings dreams to life... 4 Life
I love the orchestral accompaniment in this performance....especially, the trombone girl behind Del! Looks like a fun time for all musicians. 3030 ftw!
This is awesome. One of the best concerts I've ever seen was Deltron3030 in Brooklyn in 2014. I'm more of a hardcore and metal fan, but there is something about Del, Dan and Kid Koala together that just make art. I also love Kid Koala's stuff with Dynomite D where they sampled Bollywood songs.
Death/black/doom metal is 85% of my taste but love me some Del. You ain’t alone, brother! Jealous you saw him live!
❤THE BEST EVER GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS!!!!❤
He’s not tired lol
He’s just hella lit.
I mean it’s Del.
Deltron Forever !
Yes, Virus would’ve been epic to hear.
As well as everything from both sides of the brain.
3030 is one of my all time favourite rap songs. Props to them for using William Shellers Introit from Lux Aeterna and spicin' it up. Such an epic combo of lyrics and beats.
KEXP delivering the x-mas gifts before the hour.
Merci !
Incredible performance
seeing this live at house of blues here in chicago was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life.
best time of my life
I had mad appreciation for this album beforehand, but.... in 2004 a group of friends and myself got wrecked on tabs. End of night my roomie and I popped this album and watched Batman the Animated Series on mute. I will never forget the most epic of rap battles that took place between Joker and Bats that night. Still spend about a month out of the year with this on repeat. Fantastic.
Right on, I had a night very similar to what you posted waaaay back as well. 😁
Mark Hamil as joker savage
Chills whenever the chorus to 3030 kicks in!
Trombone girl having the time of her life. xD
For the entire show. Totally dug her!
I saw Deltron right when Event 2 dropped, and it was just like this. Full band / orchestra and free show in SF. I will never forget it, legendary.
This is unbelievable raw talent.
He has the best rythm ever i seen live 20 years ago gave me goosebumps then❤
Thank You Thank You Thank You!
I was sooooo happy to see this today!
I love him and this album. I show everyone I can this album. Truly underrated
If Del ain't in your top 5, you better recognize ❤
Definitely brings me back but how did he not do Madness!? Arguably the best track on the album.
***** How the heck are you doing man? Shoot me an email, I still have the same one I have always had.
Nicholas Kreidberg
I seen them in melbourne a while a go and i'm pretty sure they didn't play madness there as well, maybe there's some reason.. it's a shame, it's one of my favs off the album
Nicholas Kreidberg maybe they couldnt clear the sample : \
Maer808 I bet you are right, probably also why he hasn't played it at other shows. Definitely a shame!
What did you think of his latest album? I didn't think it was nearly as strong as his first but it had some solid tracks. Really love the David Cross dialogues.
2022 still appreciated and respect ❤️
Listening to what he spits is like reading snippets of various interesting dystopian sci-fi novels. I'd like to read the whole story. I think he is unique in this style.
I'd pay to see Deltron performing with an orchestra and chorus. The mix of electronic and live instrumentation is done very well. I have to favorite this video.
The conductor is just too cool on "Nobody Can."
Ain't unique though, have a listen to Kool Keith aka Dr. Octagon aka Black Elvis...
@@HMan2828 of course it’s unique, Kool Keith and Del are both obviously mad different from “mainstream” rap but also mad different from each other
He must have loved dystopian sci fi too because he has that line about feeling like a Ghost in the Shell. He wrote that line well before the American live action remake came out!
“The conductor”? That’s Dan the Automator. Show him some respect
