[@MetalRush666]

One of the most important and most influential bands of the last 20 yrs, Converge is legendary

[@HalfdanMCMX]

While I agree with them being legendary (my favourite band btw), how are they one of the most important and influential bands?

[@luukderksen3556]

They are one of the founders of the Metallic Hardcore genre (metalcore) and Mathcore, while not really being credited for it or at least recognized for it on a grand scale. The influence these guys have had on other bands is immense.

[@walterluhm2998]

Chris Howard damn near 30 years now

[@tomd4934]

They influenced so many bands that would not have existed otherwise. Even Malajube a Montreal indy rock band that was very popular in the 2000's stated in an interview that they were influenced by Converge. You really hear it in their song Les Collemboles.

[@korkscrew63]

[@theoduncan9062]

What a band 😎

[@icandrivelikejehu]

Damn this is a REALLY good setlist

[@raappanya]

44:22 What a boss move, Ben Koller :D

[@jbasti227]

Ben is THE final boss

[@xfremenx]

Love it when he did a mistake at 19:04 and Kurt and Nate looked at each other with a smile.

[@ronanjenkins2323]

Jake’s vocals are absolutely insane. He has a crazy fry scream.

[@dennisdenouden2541]

This performance of "A Single Tear" actually brought me to tears. Such a powerful performance!

[@TheCondorjc]

Without a single shred of doubt One of the best pieces of music they’ve composed And that’s saying something. Converge is a consistently great band.

[@Lothnothus]

one thing i love about converge, is that all members are just dead nice guys. No stupid macho stage presence. Engaged with the crowd and having as good a time as them. Amazing sound on this aswell.

[@twerktospec]

sounds like you think theyre cuties

[@hzmi_]

@@twerktospec aren't they tho?

[@TheCondorjc]

@@hzmi_hell yeah They cute as fuck No homo

[@areakastudios6704]

I've never seen the band so happy and goofy before. It's really charming.

[@TyecoK]

Nyah nyah tyah tyah tyah nyah the darkness nyah nyah tyah

[@Terzolykos]

you can easily sing along though

[@ericappell801]

wow.

[@natrick]

Chris Johnson, you mixed this like a BOSS. Sounds SO good.

[@ericappell801]

he crushed it

[@joshuawand3217]

He plays in Deafheaven now. Such a genius!

[@jasonbarnes2693]

Duuuuuuuude, this mix is absolutely crushing. 🤯🤯🤯

[@zachary5237]

yea man this sounds amazing

[@TrantaLocked]

Converge is one of the best live bands of all time.

[@IH8YH]

the pure raw emotion of A SINGLE TEAR ....... astounding and rarely seen in ALL of music

[@TheReverOcelot]

Woo hoo hoo on 11:07 just made my day

[@VioletAOP416]

frwellmonalisa glad to know eggman from sonic can get down to some converge from time to time

[@SKYVLY]

New songs sound so tight live

[@jbasti227]

Converge is way too good. The riffs, vocals, and basslines are killer and then there's Ben who takes it to a WHOLE other level with his drumwork. Unreal.

[@TheCondorjc]

Concubine is one example of a master class in drumming. Ben Koller is that dude 🤙🏼

[@panic_chords]

Band is on point. Camera angles are great. Mix is solid. Kurt's 'stache is feral. New songs sound rad live. 10/10 video!!

[@joelbennett9014]

that is quite a powerful mustache, i must say. he could be an RAF spitfire pilot.

[@reedthesteed]

Wow, the new songs sound really good live. That performance of "A Single Tear" was incredible.

[@reedthesteed]

And Kurt's guitar playing is phenomenal.

[@eNergievlh]

Incredible is an understatemnt imo, I discovered Converge a couple weeks ago and what a ride. Coming from a tech-death background, holy shit, I don't recall seeing anything like this, pure, unfiltered, raw emotions. IDK how Jacob does it, but that performance of A Single Tear redefined what a front man should aspire to for me. The connection he has to the crowd is a thing of beauty, I just can't get enough Edit: IDK if you noticed, I might be seeing things that aren't there, but you can tell just how emotional it was for him when the song ends. His fooling around feels like he's trying to regain composure.

[@Officialrostovorphan]

Vincent LHeureux yes you’re able to feel it for sure. The time this band has spread and a genre that’s extremely dedicated to their fan following on such a family level is proof of pure musicianship that every artist should strive for. This band is def one of the pioneers and a phenomenal example for bonding with every fan. All in synch.

[@ryleighs9575]

Jacobs live performances move me. His delivery of those like climactic lines in A Single Tear made me wanna cry lol

[@ohyeahoOvV]

29:55 What a beautiful voice

[@axelmurphy2397]

fuckin LOL

[@luispalmeros9926]

Eve is an incredibly underrated track, it’s massive and should go down as a legendary Converge song!

[@Dwesk]

Preach, man, what an epic song.

[@micheleselvaggi7165]

A masterpiece.

[@coruxanocta]

yep

[@xonikIDGAF]

All converge songs that stick seem to do that lol. Jane doe was panned at first when it came out it was way to advanced for its time. Now it’s regarded as a staple for modern metal and metallic hardcore.

[@armandoarrojo9841]

Daniel Puig 100% true

[@joshuasmith1215]

I really like the part when he was like WAHHH WAHHH WAHHHHH DAHHH DAHH DAHHH!

[@distantyahoo]

​@7 Angels 7 Plagues i love converge but the comment was funny.

[@Claude1Rochon]

Right ! very impressive... i bought the Jane Doe live album four years ago ( it was my first hard core album ever ) and i thought to myself...this is fucking intense stuff ! but now that i am watching this "comedy of horrors" i think to myself...hey ! this guy Joshua is absolutely right ! that's it that's the extent of it....BUT NO...holy shit...i hear other words now...he is now expressing himself more explicitly...( ... ) this trait of their music notwithstanding, the instrumental content and the grit of it...the texture...is very interesting value for a while. As far as i'm concerned....as long as they recycle their water bottles after the show...i'm fine with the excess.

[@sswwwaaann]

you gotta check out ARF ARF

[@nicolettelukibanova2623]

@7 Angels 7 Plagues your name is 7 angels 7 plagues LMAOO stfu

[@ryleighs9575]

A million people twenty years ago called, they want their joke back.

[@JamesMellberg]

Friends since high school and still friends. Best band ever!

[@johkri87]

There is no other band that can make me tear up, smile and laugh during the same performance. *All from a KZbin video!*

[@shillian4770]

The continuous wah wah wah shit coupled with the heavy ass riffs is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Fucking dying right now.

[@mhkpt]

the Cool Dad Energy emanating from Kurt is too much, I can't even

[@HairlessMonk]

Fuck this is brutal. A Single Tear is so epic here.

[@asoulfounddead]

More than ever. Ozzy on drums.

[@jasonbarnes2693]

It doesn’t make sense No band should be this heavy, this tight, this raw

[@DownRDpromotions]

Seeing them on Thursday for the first time ever after being a fan for over 6 years... Words can't describe how ready I am.

[@johnnycash7474]

this is amazing, sound quality and energy and awesomeness just dope.

[@MehAwake]

Thank you so much, Converge.

[@FollowerOfClay]

Thank you guys for posting this video....i´m playing it now the 5th or 6th day in heavy rotation. Love it!

[@themoneyclub6008]

The best band in the world as of right now, hands down.

[@URCFTW]

Amenra, your favorite band's favorite band. Props to Jacob for wearing a Church of Ra shirt!

[@ulli_freska7392]

I can't even believe how insane this.

[@isaacdissonance3967]

Incredible tight as always ....finally a great recording of jacob's abrasive mouth hell vocals!!!

[@josephstrong5490]

There was a duck stuck in a drain near my house in Florida and it sounded like Converge’s Live vocals. I bought that duck a drink! For real though Converge’s Live vocals took a while to grow on me but when they did.......FAAAACCVCVKKKK! Jane Live particularly! That roar is Beastmode particularly near the end on Thaw and Jane Doe!

[@catface]

Kurt looks so brutal with stache

[@gimmigimmigimmi]

ahahahaha fucks sake

[@Alex-jk7xu]

not true

[@winterfrost99]

catface he looks like a navy dad

[@joshuawand3217]

Just realizing how badass their latest record is...

[@thoroughbred2741]

Me too, holy fuck

[@djtonylazo]

Fuck, this performance A Single Tear is god damn incredible.

[@muhammadosama4383]

The guitar tone is absolutely making me cream my pants , goddamn those bends sound so fucking good

[@adamnshame95]

I saw them in Boston the night before! Since it was a Converge show however, I split my head open during Worms Will Feed/Rats Will Feast, so thank you for the video of what I missed when I got stitched up!

[@Agostoic]

Ben's manic smile never gets old

[@areakastudios6704]

"F*** YOU HI-HAT!"

[@ryandanford5289]

[@alvarogarcia5270]

Ammmmmmmaaaaaaazzzzzziiiiiiinnnngggggg. I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND, THIS BAND IS A LEGEND. MUCH RESPECT FROM SOUTH OF SPAIN

[@Stuppern]

I love this so much ;( Sadly no one else does in my country.

[@tomd4934]

Worms Will Feed/Rats Will Feast is one of their best to hear live. You can really witness that everything they do is calculated even in the noises/distortion

[@FlyingWhale213]

[@jdebney]

[@Medytacjusz]

DAT AUDIO QUALITY! so rare to find live recordings like that on youtube. A gem! Takes a lot of hard work, thank you!

[@joeyclemenza7339]

Kurt is looking more and more like my old calculus teacher every year.

[@droodmetal1797]

Best drummer of all time. Including the future.

[@leeleeleelee420]

[@jamesmcgrane20]

Eve sounds so brutal in this set. Easily one of my favorite Converge songs

[@corinshearston2324]

[@Drahkir9]

Kurt looks like my dad snuck on stage but ended up killin it

[@syfman6]

What the fuck, this sounds very close to the actual album production. I wonder how it actually sounded during the gig.

[@jasonbarnes2693]

I could only imagine how good it would’ve been live considering how amazing this sounds

[@richardcardoza1895]

I remember being in that crowd

[@davidcouzens]
