TESSERACT - King - Bloodstock Open Air 2019

[@galantaytamas]

Hugh Grant is still one of the smoothest bass players

[@handaloo]

Came here to write this comment....haha

[@kevinfriesen5325]

That, good sir, is hilarious.

[@cvblaylock]

I was about to drop the same comment!

[@CesarSanchez-vy3sy]

Hail Hugh Grant on the bass guitar! ✊😀

[@dmythica]

Someone needs to tell Davie 504 he's been looking for celebrity bass players!!

[@dibpower]

All about the mix...if you can hear ghost notes live, you know that some serious guys are working on the mix

[@ParthGChannel]

That's Acle himself mixing these live videos, he's a beast

[@kareemb0]

It's their guitarist, Acle, doing the mixing here.

[@vitorarsenio4105]

The mix is really astonishing 😱

[@calamusquill116]

I saw them at the Majestic in Detroit, and there may have only been a few hundred people there, but they played for us like it was a festival and gave it their all. The mix was huge and clear.

[@scottreid3540]

I saw them in Atlanta with my Girlfriend and to this day ive never heard a more beautiful live mix. Gojira came on after them and honestly the guitars were so harsh sounding compared to Tesseract that I had a hard time listening and Gojira is my favorite band

[@karankulkarni4204]

Acle Kahney is the true undisputed God of mixing and mastering

[@majesticpbjcat7707]

Masterful

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

And then there's Devin Townsend

[@karankulkarni4204]

I actually like Devins' live sound mixing it's just that the vocals tend to get buried like in Deadhead at Royal Albert Hall because of the amount of reverb the man uses

[@SuperAlfonsoBros]

I was just thinking the same thing!

[@murtazasyed4867]

4:10 the genuineness of his emotions, the angle, the music, the sky, the tone...everything...

[@nicolasbrettin7815]

just.. perfect.

[@tretansakera_war250]

So comfortable

[@alexandre9215]

Perfect.

[@amianc]

I know righttttttt that shot was so sooooothing

[@justinrgray4979]

Dan is one of those few singers that actually sounds better live than he does on his tracks!

[@getsugar6411]

That image of Amos admiring the crowd at 4:12 is so wholesome. Such a great musician with so much love for the fans!

[@ronlouthain913]

He's one of the nicest dudes I've had a chance to meet.

[@geisapires4868]

I heard someone talking about Dan's voice being autotuned in this... MAN, IF ONLY YOU HAD EARS... Live version of this another level, the mix is insane, but you can cleary hear there is no correction to this voice whatsoever. That's Dan having a good time singing.

[@dragon___]

how?? there were obvious but very very minimal inflections, whoever said that must be deaf or mistaking reverb or echoes for autotune

[@gabryvk]

Autotuned my ass 😂too many deaf leppards on the tube

[@1neUpGaming]

I saw these guys live. They sounded amazing and did not sound like any autotune was used.

[@JacobAndrsn]

Amos has so much stage presence it's unfair.

[@C_GOODIES]

Lord Elrond will always bring it!

[@lucasmourao751]

His stage presence is insane. But i think that BDS takes it!

[@brandonsandoval9890]

BDE at its finest

[@marcio1745]

Bow, Down ... dude ... got the chills. Dan is killing on the screams... and the whole band plays as if it's the studio version.. My current favorite band.

[@NHPaintballer]

So are we just going to ignore the fact that Dan’s control of his voice live is out of this damn world... 2:30 & 5:00 are angelic

[@teehundeart]

Sounds suspiciously autotuned to me

[@user-op8pf3uf8s]

@@teehundeart it may very well be. It's obvious and no secret he uses reverb and has a vocal track playing for layering. He has a good voice but yeah this isn't "natural".

[@teehundeart]

@Koulnis 5:00 you can't tell me that sounds human. Who knows, maybe that was actually him. I find it very unlikely though.

[@lestervandenberg6052]

I don't know but 0:50 doesn't sound very human to me

[@WadeTroutt]

teehundeart yes, that’s actually his voice. Literally all he has is slight echo, and slight reverb. That doesn’t me it’s not actually him singing. Listen to the record track and tell me it’s sounds the same. It doesn’t, he using more range live than he does for records.

[@messiah2230]

5:23 smooth

[@slehlasezem]

af :D

[@allersfera]

HAH

[@xJaesa]

im horny

[@twinny_mi]

I love how into it he is--he just knows how to incorperate it in a performance, like you can tell at 0:27 what I mean there

[@porkchopexpress1]

strange seeing a bloke on the Bloodstock stage that can actually sing

[@JosephAlnasl]

What? Most of them sing well

[@madspanner4870]

I'l never forget how heavy that riff sounded at 5:07 in the audience, you felt that reverb alright!

[@FearAbsence]

how the hell do you feel reverb? that doesn't make any sense

[@madspanner4870]

Bass then...I'm hungover.

[@GeeorgeBeeedle]

@@madspanner4870 lmao

[@TheMetalJam]

Hell yes! So massively intense

[@MrLiarsenic]

Would give this a like, but you got 69 likes, so i'll leave it be

[@evannicholson282]

This is one of the best sounding live performances I’ve ever heard

[@AtifMetal]

When the live mix is better than on the album

[@worthykev]

i remember many many years ago hearing concealing fate pt1 and loving the track and then a few months later saw that they were playing at a pub in Nottingham, so me and my mate drive over pay about 5 quid to get in and go upstairs to where the bands are playing. Tessearct "headlining" and 2 or 3 other bands. i swear the only paying people there were me and my mate!! Daniel was ill so couldn't sing so they just played the entire concealing fate instrumentally. Never forget it and they deserve all the success they get. well done guys will hopefully catch you live again soon

[@dancawar1765]

worthykev i was there too! It was £6

[@worthykev]

@@dancawar1765 nice one Dan!! can you remember the names of the other bands?

[@izmotions]

Daniel Tompkins undoubtedly sounds even better than the album itself, I'm impressed how good everything sounds together with the entire band.

[@langadubazana]

3:02 that cymbal action though! So satisfying!

[@XiyuYang]

What mixing sorcery is this.

[@Kynect2Hymn]

Good source material helps :)

[@shadowfox3051]

MAGIC

[@ecam90]

Yeah wtf they soundproofed the air

[@NathanHakoune]

1) They are all amazing musicians so that helps 2) If I'm not mistaken they don't use real amps or stage monitors which means the only things actually making sound on stage are the drums and the vocals (which means that the sound of the drums can be as clean as possible since the guitars don't interfere with it, and the guitars can be as clean as possible since they are DI) 3) Acle is one of the best (if not THE best) mixing engineer in the game

[@AtifMetal]

I was watching from a little further back and these guys were one of, if not the best sounding band that year mix wise.

[@manan_1011]

Lyrics: You died within me The boatmen came to sail me down the river Bind me up with visions of a blind man I operate this way Turn nothing into gold Death on such an ugly day You dine like a king on top of the world You show us all That forgiveness is the weakest call And now revenge Against that grudge inside your tiny head Remove the crown of absolution Let the retribution fly The king has all the king has all But words can kill and maim and take their toll And you massacre my dreams at night And eat away at every thought Until we take control The king has all totalitarian and carnivore Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground Until it's safe to breathe and coexist again Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground Until it's safe to live and coexist again They're taking away the freedom to be just you They're taking away the freedom to be just you They're taking away the freedom to be just you They're taking away the freedom to be just you But the sun always shines for you They're taking away the freedom to be just you You'd kill to find me But the crown above my head is deadly They're taking away the freedom to be just you They're taking away the freedom to be just you

[@er3din237]

is it just me or Daniel sounds so much better live than the studio

[@matiaslintunen4609]

that's the basics being a singer. Be better at live than in the studio.

[@jambostringo]

It's unfair because he's so far back in the mixing, particularly in Sonder.

[@luisserrano9355]

He was recording vocals for sonder when he was sick, apparently. But then also he was just low in the mix.

[@mieskalustoa973]

I do find weird the fact, that even this level guys are still cupping the mic. Would sound even better not doing that. Nevertheless, this is some kick ass stuff! Very good!

[@hyleg666]

Daniel's voice is magnificent...but he shortened the lenght of lots of high notes here, I understand that his singing is so demmanding but it is still a bit sad. His screams are gorgeous tho, and he still is absolutely stunning in his timbre and (altough this shouldn't have to be pointed out) his tuning.

[@ItsGormey]

Dan's moves on stage are so creative. They fit the songs perfectly.

[@rishavpal7704]

We need the entire concert in KZbin

[@danielwvhl]

Holy shit. I really had to run it back at 1:25.. that ghost note play made my mouth drop.

[@desourceband]

Sounds Absolutely HUGE

[@tudorsanta5367]

that ''At night''' from 2:35 gives me goosebumps every time

[@ryankern7943]

So Good live. I really don't understand how Daniel is that good live. Unreal

[@sevennofficial]

this is good for all the reasons.....I support everything this band does

[@smokejc]

King is a masterpiece.

[@svartsjokolade]

5:25 Amos going crazy in the background. Impressive that he didn't get tanged in his cables.

[@Marps2016]

How can they sound better than they do on record? Absolutely unbelievable sound.

[@gdifrancesco]

Amazing performance, amazing mix, such perfection... (btw I love Amos going crazy at 5:24)

[@swayambarot1791]

Great Vocal performance!

[@Datsagoodcurry]

There's not many bands that have their live show down like this. Rehearse your ass off, know your entire sound and you too, can be this fucking good.... Holy shit...

[@joseluisrr2222]

That note at 1:40... Jesus Christ, it's a fucking bomb!

[@stefanmccabe4705]

Dans voice is truly unreal

[@RyanDenzerKing]

I've listened to the studio version so many times that I wasn't really expecting to like this, but this has to be one of the best live performances of any song ever. Just phenomenal.

[@matthewmeserve73]

Amazing performance and this mix is insanely good.

[@fionajolly5801]

I was there! Superb performance. Although TesseracT should have got a headline on the Sophie Stage. They are more suited to indoors as their lightshows, paired with the music is phenomenal.

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

Ahhhh this is pure candy to my ears! 6th time in a row now that I spam the replay button and it's only getting better and better!

[@shadowfox3051]

I never get tired of TesseracT - Daniel and Jay together are just great jeez
