He's almost 50 but his vocals remain superb!

[@TheBomber15]

They sound better than they did than in the Infinity days, the man has maintained a really good healthy lifestyle for about a decade and a half now and it really shows.

[@travisbeyer5325]

He truly could have been a comedian if he wasn't a musical genius. I love how he oozes talent but not ego. I was laughing the whole time.

[@maxmattt]

The things this man can do with his voice boggles the mind.

[@bibilette7720]

I liked Devin Townsend way better than Avatar which was the headliner Hadn't ever heard of him before this night. Huge fan now! I'm so glad to see that this was taped xD this was so fun

[@theTenthlife]

Saw this show in Colorado Springs. Devin and Avatar, I can die happy now. Seriously though, this was easily my favorite show ever and Devin was absolutely killer. I don't know how he makes the acoustic sound so good, it's exceptional.

[@jimbob20051]

No one makes music like Devin Townsend. A literal master of guitar tones and sounds and musicality... His mastery of ambient sounding tones is just wow....

[@dylanaguilar6545]

Sound quality was amazing in this vid, I can’t imagine how good it was in real life

[@damianocampo4302]

I was sitting fright behind the dude recording and I can confirm. It was fucking amazing.

[@fatsuperfly]

It’s so good! 😂😂😂wish I could be there.😂

[@miked4382]

You are awesome for catching all of this show. Thanks alot. Devin is such a force to be reckoned with and it's great to see he is getting more recognition these days. I still think he's criminally underrated even after 25+ years so it's great you shared this on YT because more people in the world NEED to know who this guy is. Great voice, great writer, great musician, great sense of humor, ah hell just an all around great person. The man has more stage presence with just himself and an acoustic guitar than most main stream bands these days. Thanks again.

[@Hyperchicken]

Damn, I don't think I've read a better summary of HevyDevy. Amen.

[@jaymoore2738]

Thank God for KZbin or I may never have discovered this guy. He is the different charge some of us have been needing for a LOT of years. I just turned 70 and am so glad I didn't miss this. Thank you BinaryViking for posting this for us!

[@devintownsendonsteroids7404]

I'm a super buff Devin Townsend from another dimension. Ziltoid introduced me to my alternate self's music. Its FANTASTIC.

[@jimbob20051]

Why do I get the feeling dev would make a comic or an album about this hahahaha

[@jeffreylong1478]

That profile pic though haha 😆

[@dannyflores5920]

OMG!!! He is the KING!!!

[@RattieRae]

[@carlosenriqueguitars]

This is completely Fantastic. The talent of this man it´s unique in the entire world.

[@auditoryarmory]

He's the only person I know that can make "tuning" sound like a beautiful song haha ... thank you for capturing this performance! I wish I was there. I freaking love Devin, so many sides to his music and personality.

[@MadsMcKay]

Two weeks for me to see this is show, I'm so excited. Empath has been the best album of the year and Avatar is great.

[@jeremythornton433]

Devin is simply off the scale amazing!

[@jasonlazenby8895]

[@Erhudreamer]

Devin Townsend----speaker of truths....

[@omarsharif927]

This changed my life.... I'm not the same man I was before...

[@ryanmarion7655]

As much as I love his heavy songs I think his acoustic songs are just way better

[@superdoc177]

My gods he's amazing. Thanks so much for recording this.

[@dglover364]

Thanks for uploading. Acoustic Devy is spiritual. 🙌

[@wookiespet]

Many thanks for this binary viking. Devy is my fav.

[@dex1lsp]

Seeing this tonight at the Fillmore!! :-D

[@angw8419]

Can you tell me what order the line up was? Is he right before Avatar? Seeing him tonight in SLC and only going for DT

[@dex1lsp]

Let It Roll Deadhead Ih-ah! Love? Why? Solar Winds Life Yes, he was #3 of 4, right before Avatar. I would actually suggest staying for Avatar. I wasn't really familiar with them and I also just came for Devin, but I have to say they were really fun and I'm glad I stayed.

[@CaptainRandus]

Fantastic show! Devin's wearing a really long t-shirt

[@angw8419]

Going tonight in SLC!!! ❤

[@rebeccarahe9398]

[@luisamador2318]

[@zakrise]

thats odd.. didnt he do a Q&A too? in his acoustic show in Israel he did a Q&A and the together with the show it was about 3 hours.. and more songs too

[@dirtpile]

This crowd was way more into him than the Madison, WI show.

[@RattieRae]

Wtf, Madison. 😑
