Black Midi - (First Unitarian Church) Philadelphia,Pa 11.12.19 (Complete Show)

[@bananatarash3704]

really crazy that these songs of cavalcade already had their basis a 1-2 years before the record released

[@ZaneFowler]

what's crazier is getting a sneak peek into how Cavalcade would've sounded with Matt in the band. See if you can find the one live version of Slow with Matt. It's interesting

[@guywithaguitar1827]

@@ZaneFowler WHERE IS IT?? I NEED IT NOW!

[@jmckenzie962]

@@ZaneFowler I saw them live in New Zealand recently and they've started to play the majority of their set with Seth "Shank" Evans on bass now and Cam on second guitar, including Slow. It seems they might be trying to go back towards that more noise-rock-y sound they had when Matt was in the band again.

[@ZaneFowler]

@@jmckenzie962 Really? Now that's interesting.

I think cameron is starting to love synths

[@user-gv8vv2id7t]

sounded dope when he was using it the other night when i saw them. he played the bass part for ducter on synth

[@SaynaTheSpiffy]

@@user-gv8vv2id7t Yeah, he was on the synths a whole bunch in LA. Ducter synth bass sounded really nice.

[@frederickfumblefinn8919]

I really don’t like the way the bass sounds with whatever fuzz pedal he’s using, the synth sounds great though

The new LP is nice

[@None-tq1yi]

geordie is refining his vocals it would appear

[@lymntria]

i can’t help but feel like he’s over-stretching the slurring sometimes his voice is getting a lot smoother though and less whiny

[@lymntria]

27:02 is some next level shit, i appreciate the amount of chemistry it takes for these guys to be playing a jam like this so effortlessly

[@lymntria]

Jack Wilson yea i never said it was improvisation, they’re just making cool music

[@cookiepuss6296]

@Jack Wilson still takes a lot of effort to orchestrate some off beat shit like this and playing around the notes yet still being on time

[@laluz-a5596]

One of my favourite live recordings of black midi uploaded to KZbin. Matt is the beast by the way.

[@DJAudiogenic]

first of all, THANK YOU FOR THIS. was there last night too and am still so floored by their performance. but now I realize that Geordie just fucking long-con trolled the whole crowd by quoting Kanye West - Stronger with his first and last words of the night, opening with "I need you right now" and closing with "let's get lost tonight, you can be my black Kate Moss tonight" LOOOOL

Honestly I kind of love that feeling, sore legs or abdominal muscles from holding on. Lucky sod I already have a ticket for something else the next time they're near me, some band.

[@TheProJuicers1]

Sound sounds likes a direct feed from the soundboard; there's no room ambience at all and it all sounds very dry.

[@CSaboe]

@@TheProJuicers1 i thought the same. i just don't recall seeing a 'board anywheres. maybe it was all the way back, by the merch

[@TheProJuicers1]

@@CSaboe By soundboard, I just mean the mixing desk which there must have been owing to all the microphones on stage. Most live mixing desks these days have an option to output all the channels over usb allowing them to be recorded which is what I think the live engineer has done this time.

@@TheProJuicers1 thank you. at 51, i am trying to retain tech sense before being rendered mentally incapable of doing so. your response is educative and i appreciate you, your reply. the show was sick, i got crushed, made me seriously consider being too old to physically expose myself to a mass of exuberant youth. my sincere thanks

Difícil ouvir outra banda depois q se ouve ( ou tem-se a experiência de ouvir) Black Midi. Esses moleques são invocados, casca-grossa, imprevisíveis e geniais. A melhor coisa na música mundial em anos!🙌👏😂😇

Concordo. Os miúdos são, de facto, muito interessantes. Finalmente algo fresco. Aconselho uma outra banda: Squid. (PT aqui)

When I made my move to the front during the first pit I lost my sneaker. Spent the entire show in front of the best drummer in the world. Saw them a few weeks before at canal st. I'm seen on both videos lol

what did he say into the mic at thevery end when he was putting on his jackef

[@peterpansie5]

MANGAN I think he was annoyed at how they sounded when he was talking to Morgan towards the end. I believe he said we sound horrendous

[@Charactercats]

like sound-wise/mixing?? cause at the show i feel like i could barley hear him in the mic, the mixing in this youtube video sounds totally different than when i was in the crowd

[@peterpansie5]

MANGAN this sounds like it’s a soundboard recording that was mixed afterwords. The angle it was filmed from also is where the mixing console was. I’m gonna assume the guy who uploaded this either works at the venue or knows someone who does. The live mix was much much messier

[@BenLubin]

Great record but I think their live performance needs to be reigned in a bit. Seems like a lot of pointless and boring noodling between the actual songs.

[@jock608]

Ben Lubin bruh it’s called improvising and it’s a good thing to have as a group

[@quailfeather]

Improviziation along with the fact they likely need to make sure their sound and even timing is correct for the next song. Lol I couldn't imagine anyone playing one of these songs, let alone two immediately after one another and sounding good.

[@r7coo]

Go & listen to Coldplay then bro 😏
