Catch this: @ 4:57 the spot lights are set up to create a Fox silhouette right on Plini. For a band that always create work that has so much depth, I bet this lightwork imagery is no accident
The greatest band around. Absolutely love and respect these incredible musicians. Chris is one of the most versatile, prolific and steadfast drummers in the world.
Less than a week a away and I'm already in awe. Really hoping to hear I'll Tell You Someday live it would complete my life and I could die happily. 😅 Ask and you shall receive... that experience was healing I thank all of you and hope to catch you the next time you're near.
The song we didn’t know we needed in our lives. The feels are ecstatic and deep. But this performance has elevated it furthermore. Seeing them enjoy adds so much more feels. Love it.
I've been a Plini fan from the very beginning, they were still quite unknown, I saw the band live, without a big light show, these guys are absolutely unbelievably excellent, for me the most modern groove band on the market at the moment. I was really sad that drummer Troy Wright left the band, an incredibly cool guy, but Chris Allison is also doing a really good job...👍
Top 3 tune on the Mirage EP. Super fun video to accompany it now. Dang Simon is ripping it up 😭 P.s. Plini please come back to Austin with AAL in about 2 years. I can't make it next month..
Wow! Absolutely love your music! I'm disappointed that I want make your show this November in Atlanta GA. Hope you guys can come to Birmingham Alabama soon!
Never thought I'd watch a Plini video and want to see more of the bass! Don't get me wrong, Plini is exceptional and I love his guitar playing...but man, the bass in this is sublime!
Best Album/EP: Handmade Cities Best Song: Selenium Forest Best Solo: Pastures (Handmade Cities version) Things have gotten more complicated, more technical, but there is something to be said for direction. And melody. And shred. This kind of feels like a plane that keeps taxiing the runway and never takes off. Like a whole song that’s a vamp. I blame jazz. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate it. There is a lot of greatness here. And the band has only gotten better. Just something lacking compared to the best stuff. And really it’s Plini being less in the foreground. With no singer, the guitar has to take that role, and play strong melodies throughout. But also compositionally, it has to go somewhere. That’s what Selenium Forest does so well. And there’s nothing wrong with being a guitar hero. It seems like he’s really backed off from that. Like he wouldn’t be caught dead doing some kind of insane tapping like Pastures anymore. And it’s not like it’s a crime to go into 4/4 once in a while, etc. Neither is harmonic resolution. Hooks. Riffs, melodies and shred. That’s what his best stuff has. Otherwise it’s just a jam.
Plini always looks like he just woke up
he's the most chilled guy around!
That's his signature look 😂
he's so chill that the video color-graded itself
Abd even that he looks better tan anyone
And needs some ice cold beer
I really like Simon Grove on Bass - I like his tone and the way he plays even though I'm guitar player and not a Bass Player.
Same here, especially parts like the harmonics in Ember
One of the best modern bass players and engineers.
@@frenchiesfrankieandhenry True
Five Days of Rain really shows the talent of Grove on Bass and Lowe on 7 string the ending is massive.
Simon improved his skills as a bass player, opted out of glasses in favour of contact lenses and lost extra weight. He is an absolute legend!
Mirage was a tremendous EP. Hope there is a full album coming soon.
Didn't Plini say he was going for an Album/EP/Album/EP split? :)
@flake8382 I've not seen him say it, but you're probably right. He's been doing that since Handmade Cities.
The production on these live videos never disappoints. Absolutely sick as always!
As insane as his live sound
Don't you mean, "Never disappoints?". Double negatives are one thing, but triple negatives?

I see PLINI, I click and like, period
Man, you are a wizard. Your music is a magic. And i love what you're doing! ❤
He single handedly got me to appreciate "solo" type music and not perceive it as all just "shred"
Muy musical todo.. Hermoso!!!!!!!!!!!
That drum solo fkn sends me, amazing to finally see it performed
What an amazing performance.
Think this was the opener for there gig back in July in London a great shoiw and the support were really good too
Magnificent Plini...can't wait to see you in Vancouver
4:09 One of the best solos I've ever heard
chris is definitely fire🔥
His hands are so relaxed, but make heavenly sounds
The magic of practise .... though that enduro neck certainly does help too. Feels like magic to me.
@@Traumglanz Yeah, Strandberg's are genius design. Out of my price range but someday...
the rhythm that jake plays is absolutely mind boggling
You're my inspiration plini ❤
SIMON GROVE 🙌🙌
Simon GROOVE

The greatest band around. Absolutely love and respect these incredible musicians. Chris is one of the most versatile, prolific and steadfast drummers in the world.
Man... @simongrove's tone and playing are nuts on this song!
Outstanding , love it , glorious !
Less than a week a away and I'm already in awe. Really hoping to hear I'll Tell You Someday live it would complete my life and I could die happily. 😅 Ask and you shall receive... that experience was healing I thank all of you and hope to catch you the next time you're near.
Great tone all! amazing track
Simply the most exquisite musicians and arrangements.
I like the very powerful bass sound
The song we didn’t know we needed in our lives. The feels are ecstatic and deep. But this performance has elevated it furthermore. Seeing them enjoy adds so much more feels. Love it.
You've never heard a bass tone until you've seen Simon live!
ABSOLUTELY STELLAR as always !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think this is my fave Plini song ever... can listen over and over and pick up something new every single time. Thanks Plini, very cool
Perfection as always boys 🫶🏻🫵🏻😘
This is so good in so many ways!
Amazing musicians on stage, amazing sound techs, amazing lighting, amazing videographers. Just wow! ❤❤
Chris Allison makes the hardest stuff look so easy
He Did,He Lives on a Tour Bus!But He is Not Grumpy!Allways Cool,to the Maxx!❤ You Plini,the Note Maker!Ha!
Yet another guitar lesson from the guys -- outstanding. Also, please play the Bear Tooth in Anchorage.
4:22 I'm pleased to know I'm not the only one that bobs my head at that part of the song lol
Quality!
So nice... again!!
I've been a Plini fan from the very beginning,
they were still quite unknown, I saw the band live, without a big light show,
these guys are absolutely unbelievably excellent,
for me the most modern groove band on the market at the moment.
I was really sad that drummer Troy Wright left the band,
an incredibly cool guy, but Chris Allison is also doing a really good job...👍
Probably my favorite song on the EP!
Plini is the best
what a wonderful haunting solemn tune!
Top 3 tune on the Mirage EP. Super fun video to accompany it now. Dang Simon is ripping it up 😭
P.s. Plini please come back to Austin with AAL in about 2 years. I can't make it next month..
Amazing!
So awesome
Thanks for the killer upload!!
That just blew my mind! Freaking awesome!
Even the lighting is red. Such cinnamontography
So complicated but still beautiful
Absolutely love this song as you know Plini.
Proud to wear the Mirage on my calf for you.
Keep up the doof choones Cobba.
Thanks, man!
Wow! Absolutely love your music! I'm disappointed that I want make your show this November in Atlanta GA. Hope you guys can come to Birmingham Alabama soon!
In my opinion, one of his best songs since the trilogy days
Outrageously good.
AWESOME..
WOW 🔥🔥🔥
Holy Macaroni, thats a beautiful piece
❤❤❤
Super!!!👍
I fxxxing love your music, goddammit!
truly beautiful
If there are only three members, who is comping behind the guitar solo? This is amazing.
When Spotify does that end-of-year summary that it does there is no doubt this track will be my most played track of 2024. Absolute masterpiece
You add a new layer to my monotonous life, thanks bro 🥹
This mix is fantastic, everything is so punchy
COME TO INDONESIA, DAMN YOU!
🔥🔥🔥
5:21 so eargasmic
I love me some 15/8!
👍👍👌
✨️🎶😊
❤🙏❤👍❤🙏❤👍❤🙏❤👍
Cracks 🙏🙏
4:09 has to be his favorite part to play. If it I isn’t his then it surely is mine lol
Never thought I'd watch a Plini video and want to see more of the bass! Don't get me wrong, Plini is exceptional and I love his guitar playing...but man, the bass in this is sublime!
when the band sets in, that sound is magnificent. The bass sounds so sexy, it should be forbidden.
🔥
❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
❤
The platypuses really dig this.
They should rename the project to the Simon Grove Band
🦊🌙✨
that bass tone is fkn NASTY
Funny thumbnail like an 80's metal/thrash band 🤘🤪🤘
the solo to this song is fucking nuts
As always, technical, flawless, but emotional. Hopefully they will make old stuff live video like ATLAS.
WOW!
Very Holdsworth, Ritenour, but mostly Methenyesque vibez. The next generation of Jazz players here to stay.
Will there eventually be a live video recording of an entire show ?
What means Plini? Is it his name or last name or anything else?
Plini is actually his first name!
Whats with the random pit shot at 5:20 😂
Best Album/EP: Handmade Cities
Best Song: Selenium Forest
Best Solo: Pastures (Handmade Cities version)
Things have gotten more complicated, more technical, but there is something to be said for direction. And melody. And shred. This kind of feels like a plane that keeps taxiing the runway and never takes off. Like a whole song that’s a vamp. I blame jazz.

Hooks. Riffs, melodies and shred. That’s what his best stuff has. Otherwise it’s just a jam.
5:28 - interstellar reference?
Where are the keyboards coming from???
Is this a track running on a laptop?
YO WHAT?
🌙🔥🫶🏻❤️
In some ways, aren't we all?
