Half Moon Run - A Blemish in the Great Light (Full Live Concert)

[@blackriver4790]

We make the wrong people famous. This band deserves way more attention.

[@antney12]

Blackriver47 you are so right!

[@carlosmpizzi]

nah they're alright, not being famous. They do the music they want, get to live the life they want and they don't get to be bothered by the media.

[@blackriver4790]

@@carlosmpizzi You definitely have a point :) I just meant that we make the wrong people famous dependent on the chemistry and skills of their perfomance... their songwriting is way more advanced than all the stuff you hear on the radio. I love their music and i like the fact that they are still able to perform their own music without the influence of the media or being manipulated by labels and stuff :)

[@carlosmpizzi]

@@blackriver4790 Sure I get your point, I can argue though that 'making' people famous equals to using the media to push them to appear everywhere and manipulating their image to suit how many people they can reach. Also their music isn't bound to become mainstream because of the complexity of the songs like you mentioned.

[@Jayrhum10]

It's okay to love something and not be special.

[@callumjones9427]

Should be Grammy winners. I went to middle/high-school with these guys. Inspiring. Super underrated. Singer is a legend

[@Idyliss]

Dylan Philips is an absolute legend, epic bass lines while playing drums.

[@sammcaskin8079]

@@Idyliss that blew mind on razor blade

[@jeffc820]

Razorblade. Masterpiece.

[@NadiaRox]

That's what eyem saying

[@convik22]

My Favourite song of all time

[@Idyliss]

On this album its only jello on my mind that I dislike

[@TheUnQuake]

Then again 00:12 Favourite boy 03:23 Flesh and blood 07:44 Black diamond 12:50 Razorblade 17:08 Jello on my mind 24:36 Damn these guys are great...

[@ESmyth-nu7ug]

came here for top-quality live version of Favourite Boy

[@taIkshowhost]

these men are so very talented i'm so happy this band exists

[@lonzobean]

I love how happy they are when they play together

[@YungW0lf]

Saw these guys in San Francisco. One of the best live shows I've ever been to.

[@tonyrandall3146]

I'm convinced that this is one of the finest live music concerts ever. Sound is so clean, better than any recordings, and the boys' polish is just absolute perfection.

[@cbcmusic]

High praise! Thank you so much! We're happy we could share ❤

[@paintingjo6842]

Strapping shakers on a hat so you can still play them even when both hands are occupied... That is some serious shaker dedication.

[@cbcmusic]

Maximizing their performable area!

[@vhwvv5880]

This is so incredibly good! This band needs more recognition. They are so insanely good live. OMFG Can I double like this?

[@pwhitaker569]

Proof great music isn't totally dead.

[@DesignerFromMars]

Dear 'A Blemish in the Great Light' welcome into the discussion for the best album of the year.

[@braelutas]

17:15 The best six or seven minutes ive had on youtube all year, thankyou

[@DesignerFromMars]

Favourite Boy is the song that I would have my young teenage daughters listen to at first to get them hooked so I can them trap them into listening to Razorblade right after.

[@marcinspace]

I have been watching these guys since day one, they have only matured and grown in there skills above all else.. they deserve the recognition and attention beyond doubt!.. timing was not on there side during these hard times. I can not wait until I see you live again my friends, one of the best performers I have seen yet. All the best, forever supporting you.

[@cbcmusic]

These kinds of times might be the perfect fertile ground for making more music... 🤞

[@brysonfrank6476]

Their playing of their the multiple of instruments is mad impressive.

[@paulferris4123]

I always look forward to hearing ANY Half Moon Run tune for the first; what’s even better is hearing it for the second time, third time, fourth time, etc. etc. etc. T. Ferris ❤

[@paulovemx2222]

Their talent it's astonishing, I'm in awe. I've been listenning to their last album for the last 3 days and it's one of my favorite albums ever.

[@uppercutman]

100%. I watched this for the first time about 3 days ago and I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. Finesse.

[@psychedelic291]

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched this whole video

[@lilianpestanaosuna5020]

This band is amazing , big musicians , originals ... good sound , style , beautiful voice, voices and vibra... love it... from Venezuela since 2013...

[@umoe.6414]

i'm alsooooo

[@ns3616]

You guys are a big deal and the world needs this kind of genuine musicianship right now. Good timing Half Moon Run!

[@anettkordalnss4526]

I Just can't get over how many instruments they switch between during the set!

[@mindfloodnc]

3 albums deep and they just keep getting better. Thanks again CBC Music.

[@tonyrandall3146]

4.5 now?

[@LPx007]

I'm so glad I've just discovered this band...awesome musicians!

[@StallionFernando]

Their better stuff is their older stuff, especially their first album

[@MsCrumbles]

I have to disagree that their older stuff is better. All of their music is amazing.. they keep adding and growing and evolving into better and better musicians, and it’s so much fun to watch.

[@chrisrcarlson]

Half Moon Run has been one of my favorite band discoveries of the past year. the melodies/phrasing, rhythms, and harmonies are fresh. Hope they can swing by Portland, OR in the near future.

[@jessicashirley6634]

Wow, they deserve so much more! Such a great band

[@annafmiranda]

So great! Come to Brazil

[@caravanoflove4]

Always one of my top fave bands to see live. Their music speaks (or rather sings) to my soul.

[@TheMasterMief]

One of the best live bands I have ever heard and seen. Incredible musicians.

[@adamrabbDrums]

Thank you all so much for the inspiration! As a fellow musician and islander, Either live or KZbin, I take away so much from every time I see you gents play. Much appreciated!

[@eddiemomonty4012]

The harmonies they guys come up with is just sublime. Very much talented 🎶

[@tristanvalerius4242]

I am so glad that I got to see them live in Troy Ohio with Mumford and sons. They have become one of my favorite bands.

[@cbcmusic]

Sounds like a cool show!

[@tristanvalerius4242]

CBC music it really was an awesome show. There were also many other bands like Edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros and old crow medicine show.

[@russelldawkins3408]

Great music and a very nice mix by the CBC sound engineers. Kudos.

[@TheUnQuake]

agreed

[@beatriced8184]

I love the way each of them is multitasking with different instruments etc.. One of my fav bands

[@cbcmusic]

They played 18 total between the four of them!

[@beatriced8184]

CBC Music awesome!

[@jeffc820]

Finally! Thanks for finally posting the whole show!! Wonderful sound. Amazing band.

[@veerle3]

Still love all of your music after 5 years!!

[@PRMLA777]

Amazing band , classic style very addicting to listen in any time very relaxing and very very different, but good way . Amazing!!!!!

[@NicholasPower-hc6cv]

This set is *chef's kiss* again and again.

[@ronsmith6662]

The music world needs this band in a big way.

[@reneebluejay]

Then again 00:12 Favourite boy 03:23 Flesh and blood 07:44

[@RS54321]

Dang-Black Diamond has a Midnight Cowboy feel, a late 60s/early 70s vibe that is awesome. These guys have truly honed their craft, and love the harmonies. Looking fwd to seeing them live again.

[@janiskruk]

Just found this video ~ what a gem! I’m a big fan and hoping that you guys come to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on your next tour. Please! You are THE best!

[@stephenmoran5855]

Growing up i didn't think being in Canada would lead to amazing live music but these last few years have been stellar with Half Moon Run at the absolute peak every time I see them.

[@tommiller6198]

Keyboard while drumming! On point as usual everyone see you in Victoria 2020!

[@cameronmartin3004]

I watched an amazing performance live in St. John’s NL. The music this group puts out is so pure. The world needs more musical passion, talent and excellence that this group puts out. Please expose this to everyone you know

[@maciekstarnawski]

The best live band for me now. Fresh.. They sounds Great I ve been on gig in Poland with last album. Always Great form Respect Guys New Beatles 4me👏 Thanks for that.

[@MoodIndigo1]

Great to see and hear you again!! Amazing songs, both music and lyrics. Thanks.

[@KiralearnsNorwegian]

These guys...I just can't get enough of their talent. I realized how talented they were when I first saw them live in Calgary. It hit me like a ferociously wonderful wild wind. I'll never forget how I felt that night.

[@cbcmusic]

When did you see them in Calgary?

[@KiralearnsNorwegian]

@@cbcmusic I saw them probably around 2014 in the basement of the Palomino. There were only about 50 people there but it was an AMAZING performance.

[@SarahL45]

No other band succeeds in giving all the feels like these guys. Absurdly talented. I am crazy excited to see them for the first time in January!

[@cheeseontoast77]

Best band I`ve ever seen live and I`m old af and have seen loads!

[@npenn3596]

Same here. They are a must see band live.

[@tesscod2561]

I was totally blown away by their stripped down show a couple of years ago in Ottawa in an intimate venue. I am old too 😉 and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen

[@JeremyPerreault]

im a big fan since 1 month. officially my fav band. im from montreal so cool that youre from here

[@mollflanders72]

what a pleasure to receive your whole back catalogue on good old cds for christmas :)

[@plainguy4996]

I can't believe this talent is not moving the world with their skill and creativity.

[@nickpiovesan4361]

Gods I would have loved to be there, come by London ON sometime again soon you guys!!

[@courtneyf2756]

I'm so excited to see these guys live tomorrow night in Ottawa! Been a huge fan for years but I have yet to see them live. I hope they play Need It (fingers crossed).

[@JunkHeap]

I hope new music keeps going in this direction. A conviction to learning an instrument or many, learning to sing harmonies, and using the latest tech where applicable.

[@ckey93100]

AMAZING

[@SaZid07]

After Arctic Monkeys, these guys are my favorite to watch live perform. A brilliant mix of talents.

[@cbcmusic]

Happy you found this vid!

[@pmac3099]

Just a fantastic set. Their live shows are next level.

[@ultratone]

How much fun would it be to be in this band?! Such an amazingly creative group.

[@alicerummery5817]

Yessssssss razorblade YesssSs !!! 😭😭 when I first listened to the album, I knew that song would be stellar live.

[@joanfotli]

I can certainly appreciate their music, but watching them live is another thing. The energy, the quality, the intimacy, I just feel they are good people and I can feel them just like being there playing for a few people and not for the masses. I feel kind of special since I saw them live.

[@nicole98765]

wow, watched this one also over and over again, am amazed how good they're on stage. went back through all their albums and discover more and more amazing songs! still, i'd love to see a live-album-record as then you can really feel them - amazing energy, guys! great arrangements, great singing performance! all thumbs up

[@cmoore7294]

Absolutely Awesome!

[@cmoore7294]

The studio musician is alive and well here.... Tight, Clean, meaningful...

[@MsCrumbles]

Thank you for this! 🙏🏻 So good! ♥️

[@mariest-laurent8696]

Juste magnifique!

[@G.A.Ullrich_1Q84]

yay excited to see them in january. im flying out to oregon to visit family so i planned it so i could make the portland show =)

[@mariodonato5656]

Top top topppppp!!! I wonder why they don’t perform “Narrow Margins” that often. I would love to listen to it in HQ live! 🙏🏼

[@mrossi2034]

They do actually, not sure why there aren't more recordings of it on here. I saw them about a month ago and they played it!

[@loggerbomb]

Heard these guys today on CBC Radio live and I am sure glad I got their name as I am quickly becoming a fan! Some fantastic stuff here!

[@flaro38]

This band is amazing. Their live songs actually sound better and cleaner than the studio versions. I'm glad I'll see em in Italy next month.

[@arbellfriday6613]

Incredible.

[@hophop1137]

Not to put any pressure on ya but I love y'all!

[@aidanrees]

I can't wait to see them live this year!

[@ZachMeador]

yeah this band chronically never gets the love it deserves. one time saw them at a club in DC and the crowd was obviously mostly randos that walked in, just talked over the show the whole time. so insanely good, and I hope to see them again (with a hopefully more loving audience)

[@Jeaaannette1]

Great!! Can't wait to see these guys live in november!

[@AlI-gn9eo]

Wonderful music and vocals! come to Moscow!

[@shaneelsey]

I can't wait to see them live!! Great band!!!

[@arianakatsakis5812]

I love their unique sound

[@julianocarvalho5541]

Absolutely incredible! Kudos!!!

It's almost hilarious how good this music is.

[@joss3228]

Masterful live performance

[@KarenYoung-k9y]

This band makes magic!

[@Duh6666666]

What a great performance, they remind me a little of one my favorite dark horse bands ever: Split Enz. The voices, the tension points, the melodies, and the quirkyness. Love it!

[@dprahn02]

No matter how many times I see him do it.. Playing drums and bass/keyboard at the same time.. This group all has too much talent. And his voice feels like Shannon Hoon too. Man.. Sigh. Replay.

[@VanuzaMartinhs]

Half moon você nasceu pra cantar a voz suave e doce.brasil.

[@williammelvin]

Saw you in Brixton. Booked immediately for roundhouse in March. Boom. Awesome 👏 thanks.

[@dc1502]

Great. Thank you @cbcmusic!

[@cbcmusic]

You're welcome!

i'm in bootle merseyside,been to mathew street today.these lads are proper class

[@edneistropa1126]

Bacana demais! Gostei! 👏😁

[@dio52]

Been listening to this band for a while, but had never seen a live performance before. jfc these guys are insanely talented. Reminds me of the way Rush could get so much more depth of sound than their numbers would suggest.

[@RandallSlick]

I'm 50 and thought I'd seen it all. This is up there with Pink Floyd. Profound.

[@deniseelalala85]

I’m such a fan of this group, man. I hope to see them in Montreal in 2022?

[@Mayflowermallen]

The Universe Featuring Ray needs to be on the bill with these guys, they would be great musical partners.

[@cbcmusic]

Who'd be opening for whom?

[@angelicdarkvader6701]

U take me away Half Moon Run ⚘️

[@plainguy4996]

Saw them live at the Visualight Theater in Charlotte. They are as good if not better live. Do yourself a favor and find them.
