De Staat - Witch Doctor (live at Larger Than Live 2020)

Although 2020 has mostly been a shit year, it has brought the band this one special live stream show: Larger Than Live.
To me, it felt extremely important that we'd play Witch Doctor in the middle of the empty Ziggo Dome. Marking a year we'll never forget.
I hope you all haven't sunk too deep in the hole. Next year we will come out roaring.
See you then.

There's something almost poetic about performing this to such a small crowd of people. The camera zooming out to reveal he's preaching to basically no one makes it seem like the Witch Doctor's starting to lose his hold on people. I know that's just a coincidence because of the times we find ourself in, but that's still a really interesting consequence. Good performance.

[@CircuitDruid]

You put this great. This might be one of the creepiest live preformances and they really leaned into it. It might be stranger to watch than the music video for this song, and that thing was weeeeird. XD

[@kevinmoore7173]

This song has always been scathing but shown like this it just becomes amazingly grim. Like were seeing the world these snake oil salesmen would give us if left unchecked. God I love this band.

[@rollerscab]

this live version of Witch Doctor hits hard, oof. especially the "audience" cheering at the end

[@danimoyano2183]

makes me cry

[@ordinaryJeff]

Interesting contrast between the usual performance and the perfectly aligned rows of empty seats. Also nice touch with what you did with the cheering crowd sound at the end. Well done.

[@soezimaxTV]

Great!!! I love it, from Japan.

[@disgracetologic]

The zoom effect out taken from the official video, shows the contrast to .. everything around us. Another beautiful production of you guys. I Enjoyed this alot, thank you.

[@infectedpaddo6619]

I saw myself in the croud! Awesome experience and one hell of a show. I'm still looking everyday at that ticket on my monitor at work and it still gives me that fantastic memories of that day!

[@haarinmeglas]

Not jealous at all...

[@Gsczu]

Why so few people in there?

[@richg2250]

Torre and this performance are mesmerizing.

[@annabellesaker-neale2284]

I watched this when it was streamed live. The part where it pans out and most of the seats were empty made me sad. :(

[@Gsczu]

Do you know why it was so empty?

[@kavyrshin]

Блестяще! Пустой зал как аллегория на 2020

[@romanvorontsov7705]

Как же я хочу увидеть Торрэ в россии, вы бы знали Хотя тут многие могут не прочувствовать его музыку, но все равно хочется

[@diabalotia]

another live album on its way maybe?? crazy

[@delanokraan548]

I think the lead singer would be an epic boss in a video game with this song

[@thelazytyrant1831]

I had a dream where torre had me added on discord and wanted to play csgo

[@carrotcake927]

[@reneramos3214]

Love it . Reminds me of a musical anton levey

[@greatsouthernpansy]

Somehow it seems a perfect song for current times.

[@zzzkaisendon]

かっこいい

[@MoonAndMidnight]

dit was zo'n surrealistisch moment! Ik vind het wel nog steeds enorm jammer dat we het maar 1 keer hebben kunnen kijken, wat een gave productie was dat

[@rollerscab]

Eens! En Help Yourself was wel echt het toppunt van paniek, wat een twist

[@MoonAndMidnight]

@@rollerscab oh zeker! Ik ben er ook echt in getrapt, had mijn stream gepauseerd en opnieuw aangezet en toen kreeg ik het pas door T^T

[@L0wki]

Without Fans it is half the Fun.
