black midi - John L (Live Toronto 11/8/19) early version

[@johnathom-v3y]

it’s so weird hearing the parts the song would’ve had if matt was on the recording, makes me imagine how different cavalcade and this whole era would’ve been if he was still in the band

[@alex11v3]

I actually would prefer a studio version with his played instead the saxophones and violins in the song.

[@DoggBann]

I thought he was still a part of the writing process, just not actually playing on records/at shows

[@poopyjoe7883]

that low tuned ass guitar he’s playing adds so much to the song

[@surrealducks]

@@DoggBann Yeah, I'm pretty sure he technically is still in the band

[@manray7189]

I miss Matt :(

[@williamclintonogbebor387]

THAT DRUMMER! THAT RHYTHM SECTIIIIIOOOOOOON!

[@ravenkliff]

this is literally me when I hear three encores of oh sunny boy :)

[@kaylons]

Backed only by black midi

[@mythrodak6892]

Can't wait for this one to come out as a studio recorded song

[@Thegreepest]

Wait no further

John L

[@adamclarke403]

It's here

[@HarryBaileyFortnite]

same

[@wallywutsizface6346]

What’d you think?

[@ashercohen8440]

the composition of this shot is so cool. Especially when matt, geordie, and cam are synced.

[@tomdyer4342]

i miss matt

[@trashpigeon1164]

Really hoping he comes back man. I didn't even realise he was my favorite until he left

[@granthamilton1918]

I do too, I hope he’s alright.

[@harperschannel567]

these guys sure love naming songs

[@RevoltOfAges]

I miss the long improv jams they used to do constantly on stage

[@davidnicolascontreras1621]

I keep coming back to this video. Drumming is impeccable.

[@YeshMCx]

ohhhh... so that's what the song was!! I remember once this song ended, I just went 'what the fuck was that??" in a confused, yet mind blown state

[@chiquitodaviii2913]

You were there?

[@YeshMCx]

@@chiquitodaviii2913 Pretty sure I was a few ft behind the uploader

[@mattdrummond3552]

That middle part reminds me so much of King Crimson.

[@muzakfan]

It's the guitar polyrhythm stuff. You're so right.

[@mattdrummond3552]

@@muzakfan yep, and also the atonality (or should I just say clashing notes) involved. Super cool

[@apothecurio]

Straight up some level five shit

[@tilerman]

Not heard of this band until yesterday when BBC 6 music played the studio version of this track. And as soon as he started singing i could hear Captain Beefheart. In fact, the whole track, to me anyhow, sounds very much like Beefheart. Really good stuff. Love it.

cant believe i missed this concert

[@wolves853]

My name is John and my surname begins with L

[@jonathanhanks6434]

honestly digging this version more

[@Josh-lo6ws]

is that a little YYZ reference at @2:26 lol

[@pythag0rad]

I think so lol. They *love* putting in little melodic references like that in their songs. Pretty sure I heard bits of Beatles' in their boiler room concert

[@yerLerb]

Definitely, unmistakeable

[@brandontracy5455]

Gang of Four meets Deerhoof. Tasty.

[@ErikSteevens]

AWESOME!!! Progrock is still alive ... I hear a lot of King Crimson influences ... and that's alright of course

[@lymntria]

so sad i missed this concert

[@lymntria]

if you got any more clips you should post them

[@ImTrendArts]

@@lymntria will do more soon i have about 34 mins of footage

[@ImTrendArts]

@@jermyhopkisn9654 not doing much else lately I will try to remember my bad on the late uploads

[@TheBirdThatWhistles]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DRUMMER MADE OF?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@apothecurio]

Play drums starting from the age of 2 and also be in pretty decent physical shape outside of drumming. That's how.

[@oscarstokes468]

great

[@alecsneed5835]

So cool. Reminds me of mahavishnu

[@tav095]

Jonny Greenwood stepping in and out of the shot

[@instations]

Johnny Greenwood?

[@mariorossipuzza]

Not even close

[@TheChasedanger]

That ain't Jonny Greenwood thats Johnny Leenwood

[@ТанжихоловМуродулло]

Is it just me or is this song highly danceable?

[@elvatonegro4880]

Is this Lee´s Palace??

[@ImTrendArts]

Yes

[@Nerdfacenerd]

This is worse than primus ;)

[@jacksonkimball4583]

No sax= much better

[@21Cayque12]

Said no one ever

[@ephemeralflash3395]

The KEXP performance with the sax was pretty sick. Had a cool lil solo in the middle and everything.

[@dahgmafelix912]

I thought i was alone in this whole world.

[@macarron5729]

More Sax = much better

[@energyturtle46]

No vox much better gimme the sax tho
