Brass Against - The Pot at Java Jazz Festival

[@FairFuse]

For those who feel like this version has less "punch": the studio version has two more musicians playing, which probably significantly impacts the feel of the whole song (more layers etc.). Also, sound mixing for live performances is often subpar.

[@djtazzyjeff]

they also couldn't add all the drumming in post....Sorry but this guy has no business trying to play tool. he is a very basic 4/4 studio drummer

[@gertnood]

Overall sound feels very tightly compressed and dry for want of better words. Beating on the players is inappropriate - this is a bitch to perform live, and the mix here makes them sound like they are buried in pillows. Properly mixed I think you;d hear a lot more substance here than is evident.

[@timlamiam]

This version makes you appreciate how hard it is to pretend to be a guitar with a sax. The breath control, wow

[@zabokalanmori1175]

That last scream was incredible! More power to you Brass Against!

[@MikeBoaz]

No kidding was singing along and lost my breath about half way through that scream.

[@MatthewHill]

Amazingly clean for live.

[@TritonBrewing]

This band is a tight unit. Sophia Urista is an amazing talent and her final shriek is pure Rock and Roll. Great cover!

[@jakeclinton6571]

Holy $h*t that last scream!?!?! Love Sophia 💚🎶❤️💞 (and bam!)

[@ramma77]

This was the first time i had ever heard a Tool song (that i know of). A year or so later i think i'd consider Tool in my top ten favourite bands of all time. Thanks!

[@joemurphy2738]

Ditto, found Tool through Brass Against 👍🥳🤘, BA were a good find but Tool, Tool are extraordinary

[@ramma77]

@@joemurphy2738 What annoys me is that out of the many people i would call friends, not ONE of them told me to listen to Tool. Not one. I mean, tbh, i probably would have went 'uh huh yeah no bother' and then not listened to Tool. But then i would only have myself to blame.

[@joemurphy2738]

What killed me was how I managed to miss them, but then I remembered I got married and had kids 25 years ago, better late than never man

[@Twizz435]

Im astonished anyone missed Tool im 25 and they have been my favorite band/musical insperation since i was 13

[@joemurphy2738]

@@Twizz435 yep, and when I was 25 I had a full and comprehensive album collection ,from Pink Floyd to Nirvana and everything in between, I had the time and energy to do it. Then you spend years between family and work and coaching kids and you're lucky to listen to your old collection, never mind finding out newer acts that never get airtime on the radio, no internet or youtube back then man, it's called life. It's all ahead of you, you'll find a band in 20 years and wonder how they slipped through the net, enjoy the discovery

[@DaUltimateFuzz]

The studio version is balls to the walls but the live version is missing that umph! Im sure if i was there it probably sounded epic!

[@T4nkcommander]

All the live stuff (minus the Bulls one a few years ago) have been pretty terrible. Pretty sure, like usual, it is the person mixing their music

[@badmonkey91]

@@T4nkcommander The singer has a wonderful sounding voice, but it's probably suited more to the studio. Where you have infinite retroactive control over your levels. Not alot of volume in her voice. Hard to get thumping levels on your amps and mix in a smaller voice live. No hate to the singer. It's not her technique or ability, she's obviously really talented. Probably just her small build. I think Sam Hope would be a better option live, where as Sophia has a much more interesting sounding voice that records better. Sort of sounds like she sings with alot of head voice. Not going to provide tons of volume. She seems to be straining and probably injuring her voice to pull this off. When she wails, sounds like she's switching to chest voice. That's when her volume kicks in, and it doesn't sound like she's hurting herself.

[@crottedepingouin]

their drummer plays very softly, they would sound a lot bigger with a good one. as to the single guitar (and no bass) it doesn't help that its thin sounding and undermixed. it's a shame because she's doing a great job on vocals (not mentioning the brass part of course)

[@themiddlepath8939]

@@crottedepingouin Good points! ..This drummer cant even touch Danny! Had to be said.

Phew... Thought it was just me. Yeah, weird board mix by the sounds of it. Almost wish for the video it was a few live mics out front or wherever... :)

so rhythmical! that first verse with only vocals and saxophone is obviously well rehearsed. awesome!

[@GabaranRickshaw]

This version is missing the guitar. Its buried. Like you're gonna need a shovel to find it buried.

[@statom985]

first you need the map with x that marks the spot

[@brispencer]

Great band and I am excited when you can return to Europe next year...see you in Barcelona...

[@rludeks]

It's a small promise for someone from the UK to make, but if you guys & gals make it to our shores I'll be there.

[@codicium]

No guitar actually doesn't make this song more authentic. It just belongs there

[@Sporting1210]

since i ve seen Tool live (in a way the best concert experience of my entire live ) this video made me actual realize, how difficult it seems to be to do what Tool is doing in general and Keenan with his voice in particular. But she came close - kudos for that but srsly, if you get the rare chance to see Tool live - take it.

[@thierry18]

This is my favorite one

Weird to see several comments complaining about how bad this sounds compared to the studio videos. My initial reaction was "I like this sound". It's not just loud. Maybe the perfect sound (for me) would be somewhere inbetween?

Haha, she wanted her mic cut either in front of house or in her monitor during the break down so she didn’t catch feed back while not singing during the bridged breakdown. Not sure what the sweater was about

[@thegreatdivinie]

@@nimblebimble oh interesting. thanks!

[@AaronScutt]

This is a very talented band...but what feels missing when they play Tool sometimes? They get the meters and the time right...they get the feel right...it's BASS. Bari Sax and Tuba cannot recreate what Justin does on strings. You guys should at least consider adding bass guitar to Tool covers. Justin's playing is one of their major differentiators.

[@fanaticaldueling6337]
