Medeski, Martin and Wood - San Sebastian, Spain, 2005-07-24

[@trevorbsmith716]

It makes me sad I've never had the honor of getting to see this band live... they're definitely at the very top of my musical bucket list! So insanely good, their chemistry is out of this world. 🙏🙏🙏

[@scotty6124]

Man i miss this band. Theres nothing like it out there today. I have a feeling once the pandemic is over they will reunite for a tour

[@SpeedOfDark186Kmps]

They hit an improvising high here. Everything is so different yet so familiar at the same time. I can name every single song played, in spite of how original the performance of every masterpiece is.

[@scotty6124]

Exactly what I love about them, and the recording is damn near perfect. I've been missing them lately

[@Eri3t5co]

Una de las actuaciones más memorables del trío. Quizá la mejor.

[@hirschmj]

This video is fantastic - I'm amazed at the sound quality and the performance is top notch. Shame about the audio cutting in and out after the halfway point

[@SpeedOfDark186Kmps]

I wish that I could've been there. This is an epic performance!

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Holy crap I was at this show!

Greatest fucking band! Gawd Damn

[@LucLongley23]

It's unfortunate that MMW is such a niche scene. Though, I'm glad there's that niche. It is an explosive expression at the crest of traditional American music history. Like any good historian, MMW approaches history with the attitude that attitudes are unavoidable. The subjective is embraced at every improvised flick, whap and pound. It helps me locate myself in social history. Well done guys.

[@SluffAdlin]

It's sad that people view this "fusion" music (whatever that really means) as "boring Jam bands" or "stoner music". I use the term fusion because they are throwing a bunch of different styles of music into a melting pot and coming up with something new. In these performances, there is classical elements, there's all kinds of jazz styles, there's funk, there's latin, rock you name it. Not to mention John's use of analogue equipment, which he switches up all the time. Some night's he uses a Mellotron, other night's he uses a Hammond C3 instead of his B3, where as his C3 might have a bit more bass (also I've seen him use different Leslie cabinets). It's bands and performances like MMW where music is explored and discovered at the same time. Unfortunately, it tends to go over most of the public's head as and dismissed as a "scene".

[@xebio6]

​@@SluffAdlinYou shouldn't be so afraid of using the word "fusion", that's exactly what it is. And these guys weren't/aren't the only ones giving fusion a good name following on the footsteps of the 70s greats and opening up to newer, fresher influences such as hip hop or electronica.

[@olecranonrebellion9976]

The best!

[@MrForestExplorer]

Those are die-hard heads, dancing in the rain. Fun times.

[@EPurpl3]

i hope i will be as good as that bassist when my bass is going to look like that :D

[@420HEADY]

Dank

[@geoffreygraves848]

Brigas Nunca Mais interpretation makes me smile like an idiot every time I listen

[@stonelenny]

Where's the time? Thanks!!

[@chasmenear7130]

Great show!!!👹

[@Discrimination_is_not_a_right]

MMW represent something that could've been born only in the 90s---Grunge Jazz.

[@e-ternell]

certainly but they also have this trashy-cheap bad kids thing that comes straight from the 70s, in my humble opinion

[@DntBuyTheHype]

Thanks Mr. Money Mustache.

[@bogthing1]

Yes, bird calls and all!

[@falsenotefest]

Le chaînon manquant ??

[@marcoesquandolas1533]

the wood bros killed mmw and i'm not ok by that lol. Chris if you're reading this (and I'm sure you're not) ditch your brother and get the band back together man....please....and thank you

[@aclarkedesign]

I don't think that was the Wood Brothers. I thought Billy wasn't interested in touring anymore. At least thats what i read somewhere.

[@timtremblay8601]

Bass was low in this mix, hardly audible shucks~!

[@falsenotefest]

Good with a headphone
