looks like the math and history department got together to jam and then needed a drummer. Turns out the guy that kept ending up in detention was actually an accomplished jazz percussionist

[@chiaramusumeci9361]

lol

[@limbicD]

haha

[@Bix12]

he's got my vote on the first few brush strokes cuz he's wearing a "Roots" jersey

[@veden310]

And still haven't found a bass player )

[@samuelstroup304]

entire fac ulty of liberal arts college

[@BlastedCharacterLimi]

This remains one of the best concerts I've ever seen put on film.

[@cbnimble]

For real.....I've replayed this one countless times

[@mishagas3912]

I completely agree with you

[@frankvazquez5974]

Yeah, this has stuck with me - and its been 5 years since I first watched it.

[@mjordan8432]

100%

[@user-cb5fz8jg4g]

Agree

[@isthisviolence]

This is for me the best gig on youtube, hands dowm.

[@FabianSalomonsson]

I must have watched this 500 times but it's equally as good every time

[@oudain]

I come back to this performance every once in a while too, this is just too good

[@santiagoheredia]

crazy... a few years watching this over and over. Its my favorite live session OF ALL. I enjoy the studio versions, but the sound on this recording is phenomenal!!

[@santiagoheredia]

I have to admit... this IS the one video I come back to the most. There's something magical about this performance. Not the same with their studio albums.. this is insane! Hypnotic. The second one is good... but this one..... oh man...

[@oldirtyshinobi]

Ditto!👊🏻

[@celesteisneat]

I haven’t looked yet!!!! I’ve only glanced but wow! I’ve been in deeeep with headphones for 3+ hours & ohhh wow

[@JSMN]

What a performance this is. Must have watched it a thousand times...each time it gets better!

[@MarkMerrick]

Wow. A guitarist doing his own thing in a truly artful, interesting, and musical way. And kudos to the whole band for a very unique and original vibe.

[@MarkMerrick]

@Adam Jacobs Bill Frisell is awesome. Honestly, we're living in this golden age with so many amazing talents.

[@PhilippWolgast]

This music grows synapses.

[@friesiamans1966]

wow, biggest complement possible... :-) 🙋‍♂️

[@adamdahlstrom7771]

This is my favorite performance ever since it came out. Always a treet listening from time to time 🙏

[@Sleepysidney]

I ALWAYS discover on KEXP.

[@lastofthemadtierneys169]

i used to have the exact same silvertone guitar back in the 90s. that is such an interesting choice for this style of music. bold.

[@biggestfanofroger]

love the drummer's 'The Roots' sweater

[@necromancin]

Coming back to this is giving me hope for humanity

[@Psztyk236]

This is my favourite video on the internet. Thank you KEXP again

[@Somiten]

i like how guitarist and saxofonist enjoy each others playing

Thank you, that’s helpful

[@FrancescoAlcozer]

Thanks friend...!

[@CavemanForChrist]

Quite possibly one of the best jams of all time. Four people working together to find a higher purpose through sound and ingenuity, it is an organic exploration into the unknown.

[@holprod00]

it sounded like shit,worst jam ever.its not even a jam..

Iceland has some amazing fucking talent. For such a small Country, you guys are way ahead of the game!

[@freenando75]

just like portugal ;-)

[@maciekgut8375]

Can you recommend some bands? Obrigado!

[@freenando75]

Maciek Gut _ Maria João e Mário Laginha :cor. Terrakota ... And so many jazz musicians .... Orelha negra ,. Madredeus

[@levinascimento1995]

@ Maciek Gut Dead Combo and Clã's earlier work was already spot on , too!

[@delfeth]

buen punto

[@jessegarate]

18:43 he plays the lick

[@danieldesantiago9922]

Yeah!

[@DQ2121]

It's actually really beautiful in that context lol

[@sstutes1972]

so, i have been a musician (amateur) all my life.. playing guitar seriously from 9 years old.. 46 now.. and may instruments and singing etc.. anyway... ....KEXP has single handedly grown my music appreciation by 1000% percent.. and i have found all my NEW fav groups through this medium.. and seek shows and merchandise from these bands just to support.. such an awesome station.. best thing ever.. sheez.. it still just makes me want to move out of po dunk missouri in that direction..

[@meanpicker]

Shon Stutes haha sounds like me...where at in MO? I'm down by Cassville. We should jam!

[@holzVFX]

i saw them like 3 times in a small club in germany. the club is like a living room and seeing them performing was insane

[@haw8395]

Red Horn District?

[@friesiamans1966]

und warum war ich nicht da? sch..........

[@cezmiyarimkaya7877]

that just sounds incredible

[@LuisFonseca1]

These guys are incredibly underrated

[@chaussette1er]

Well they're not from a country where people reproduce like rats, they respect every kind of work...the hard work is Well paid they Say studies are only to avoid physical working... They understood everything

[@kartikswamibhardwaj9834]

@@chaussette1eryour reply is best ever

[@burninglion2584]

@@chaussette1er interestingly enough, I most enjoy this when relaxing after a hard day's work - some of the passages are like floating in water, gliding through Icelandic volcano-scapes, warm fur-lined parka jackets and wild, windy, black beaches. If I'd been listening to this after sitting on the sofa for hours smoking weed playing computer games, it would just be 4 dudes (albeit 4 terribly accomplished dudes) playing some jazz. Hard work and skill recognises hard work and skill. No Icelandic privilege here, just pure Iceland, and pure music. Superb beyond words.

[@lookingatyouforever]

Hot tip: Dont forget to insert 'band' when googling or searching ADHD on YT

[@chaussette1er]

I see what u mean 😂

[@abala1]

This is the most inspiring band I'v seen in a long time! Great musicians!!!

[@cesarvivas]

This video made me start playing music every day again, 7 years ago. I had no other choice.

[@cooldog1972]

these men are vessels of truth

[@morkmon]

still coming back to this so often, absolute perfection

[@brkso7058]

Again and again. Never enough

[@daud1269]

I found this treasure in 2018

[@edihoxhalli4885]

I've been watching all day long videos of KEXP this last month and ADHD is the band that has impressed me the most! I've listened to all their (self-titled) albums too! They are amaziiiing !!!

[@mjordan8432]

This is quite the musical journey, fn ethereal and hard at the same time. I keep coming back to this recording for some reason ✌️❤️

[@phildupuis-skateboarding]

Sounds like a David Lynch movie soundtrack, complicated and so evident in the same time, straight and freaky. Gorgeous !!

[@Crazywesguy]

Magnus throws down some crazy transitions between songs. Never been thrown off that hard before

[@whatdothlife4660]

Incredible dynamics, wonderful sequence and transitions, and some creative solos. This is a real gem!

[@ckg3362]

How the fuck?! This is so amazing I can't even, how is this even possible

[@_baalshamin]

@@herettahuston9457 eight, now

[@The2012332]

They pair a tame, contemplative atmosphere with some mind blowing shredding! I feel like the tension of the crazy guitar parts on Merkilegt followed by a return to the more relaxed theme of the song put me in a really alert but calm mood.

[@bellavitarepresentacoes1832]

9 years old and still kickin ass. Just can't get enough of this

[@Les537]

So much respect for that anti-guitar solo in song two.

[@oldirtyshinobi]

Nucking futs!

[@whatdothlife4660]

@@stanvanillo9831 That is NOT a normal solo!

[@excultus2057]

That solo made me want to buy a guitar.

[@elbisnopserton9052]

This is great to play with the top down. 2022 now wtf. That went by like 5 minutes not 30. 👏

[@PaulVegan]

YEAH!!! What a show! Mega thanks to the ADHD crew and KEXP for sharing this with the world.

[@pnoplyr14]

dude from mythbusters rocks.

[@Mugenloo]

Hahaha

[@travshorts]

I have come back to this vid so many times over the years. It's just so excellent.

[@theantwillrule]

I like how at 6:40 the buttery smooth sax bloke is just admiring the space mullet from mars guitarist like "im not sure what you are doing but me and my velvetness are approving" Also I like the Milka wrappers on that organ. Right at the top of bands I need to see live for me.

[@FabriGarciaLOTR]

theantwillrule Saw them live yesterday in Salzburg, Austria. THEY BLEW MY FUCKING MIND. So fucking good.

[@iakusz]

Space mullet from Mars, you say, eh?

[@WiresAndChords]

Is it from space or is it from Mars? MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!! ;)

[@keesgroot8143]

apparantly they are brothers :)

[@celesteisneat]

Yes I could go for Milka!!!!

[@manojbhardwaj6246]

I just picked up a saxophone and started classes. When people ask me what kind of music I want to play, I did not have an answer that was better fitting than ADHD until now. Foook yeah!

[@piopiopiopiop]

Is no one gonna talk about the guitar solo at 6:25 ??? That was mind blowing

[@maxm30000]

and the one at 16:20 sooo funky

[@tomislavsekerija1957TN]

why talk? just enjoy, the whole thing is pure gold

[@cyyytr0n]

Jonny Greenwood would be proud ..

[@NicolasCaes]

Well...you don't have to talk(write) and listen at the same time

[@emblemcc]

I must say that I do not like the solo at all. To me it is unnecessary exaggeration, but it is their music...

[@TheAlternatist]

man that sax sounds just glossy smooth

[@astralstars77]

really enjoyed this, thank you!!!

[@Goodphish]

seriously love how the sax man brings the band back from absolutely obscurity
