The guy up front isn't security, he's just too stoned to know which way to face the band

[@tyretear1263]

coming back to this, when Matt just strums his gibson ONCE and keeps sliding up and down at the Improvised Morris (flight version) riff and just lets sustain work for him ( 21:49 ) I feel like I witness a fucking god doing his work

[@espanjolo830]

Al has the best fucking Headbang I have ever seen in my live. The whole man is just exploding with energy

[@henrysmith8603]

7:07 this is my favorite riff in all of sleep’s discography

[@AZirk1997]

First song I learned to play from the album and still such a fun riff to play.

mine is the breakdown to evil gypsy, but that one is a really close second

potentially the best live sleep video i've seen

[@ElMuertoEspejel]

Agree.

[@paltefogt]

Phenomenal recording of an incredible performance, by a band with a collective, what? Almost 90 years of groundbreaking musical experience? Incredibly, after all this time, they appear to operating at peak efficiency. Mr. Roeder, in particular, has appeared to not age at all over the past 30 years - I assume the beard is an attempt to hide his immortality. When he launched into the transition during the intro to "From Beyond", I feared for my house's foundation.

Gracias Sleep por existir

[@NicholasSantangeloDrummer]

@4:35 Jason fucked up and didn't come in. That's the only thing I miss from sleep. Jason on Anarticans Thawed is great, better than Chris. However, everything else, I just like more with Chris Haikus. He was Al's musical solo mate. Them in Sleep & Om really make the term drum & bass come to life and mean what its supposed to mean.

[@henrysmith8603]

Personally I think Jason is a more creative drummer and he compliments the parts and the overall sound better. But I did listen to The Sciences first so I might be biased. Anyway I don't think it's fair to criticize a musician for messing up an entrance on a song he didn't write and hasn't had as much time to learn. Every musician fucks up now and then, and he still kicked ass the rest of the performance

[@yunsulee5522]

@@henrysmith8603 i do agree with you and i think he missed the section because of the monitoring

[@cpmorgan5000]

Look by 5:25 how much his band mates are supporting him

[@itexistsbeyondtimedeeznuts7949]

I agree. He’s probably the only drummer who can fill the shoes, though not as good as the original. I mean it makes sense. Sleep was al, pike and Chris. Al and Chris worked together like no one else could

[@blxcktongue]

Yes, for some reason you're just 50 min in (so high)

[@justinkline1294]

Anybody tell me why Al play his bass so high up onto the neck? I'm sure there is purpose to it (like how Geezer used to play over the fretboard of his Fender for the "clank" to cut through the mix). I just can't pick out what Cisneros is accomplishing by doing so through all the distortion. Sorry for the bass nerd question. Thanks anybody.

[@calin3983]

The Rickenbacker bass is the answer. I have an Epiphone EB3 black and I play like Al Cisneros on it, he made me pick up and play bass man and I really dig it in and the Rickenbacker with Ampeg heads is the answer and of course rhe magic of Al’s fingers. Cheers!

[@pongosnodgrass7014]

More vibratory length to the note and deeper bass, plucking directly in the middle of the string. Also produces a kind of woody slap against the frets when plucked/tapped, for a unique attack. Your nerding is complete. You're welcome.

[@justinkline1294]

@@pongosnodgrass7014 Perfect, thank you!

[@pongosnodgrass7014]

I should also add, that tapping the string percussively around 15th 16th fret, while fretting the actual note, produces a range of bell like overtones

[@justinkline1294]

@@pongosnodgrass7014 I'm gonna try that out later today on my own and would bet that you are right. I have a Ric clone (1974 Greco RB 800) with proper Ric scaIe length of 33.25" tuned down 1/2 step so should translate. May have to move up or down a fret to replicate. Or is your count on a Ric neck? May be the same, as the natural harmonics are as a full 34". But like I said, we shall soon see. And thanks for understanding what I meant by "bass nerd" and the depth I was hoping for (and then some) in response.
