Devin Townsend handles PA crapping out like a pro.

[@Maxx61]

Whatever Devin's ticket cost, you'll get your money's worth and then some.

[@AnfalasHerdsman]

oh man i had the fun of my life at his show

[@dirtpile]

Cheapest concert I've ever been to ... and the best!

[@AnfalasHerdsman]

William DTP, LEPROUS & BTBAM 27€ wtf dude

[@AmandaLaggan]

I believe that.

[@MrT1o9P9i2]

That PA crapping out was just an excuse to Devin have a solo act

[@AnfalasHerdsman]

this man is fuckin living legend

[@DJHoboMan]

my grandma told me that will smith joke a few weeks ago... devy has ascended past dad jokes, and gone straight into grandma jokes

[@geetarguy777]

This is what happens when a real artist experiences technical issues... handles it like a GOD and makes it awesome the entire way through.

[@RoisinT2]

Yes. And to everyone who is in there, i think no-one didn't mind not one bit that there was these problems... He is just so fking great guy hands down..

[@geetarguy777]

i wonder if DT didnt learn a thing or eight from Vai... i saw him a few monthes back... Vai's PA took a shit as well, we got an acoustic section that wasnt repeated throughout the entire tour, yet it seemed almost put on because of how smoothly it went.

[@adahbombdon1512]

My 4 yr old son and 3 yr old daughter, LOVE march of the poozers and ziltoid. Cannot WAIT until he comes anywhere in driving distance of NC I'm taking both my kids.

[@c_huntermc]

So true - a lot of frontmen would have throwntheir instrument down, stormed off stage, and fired the sound man on the spot. Devin just rides it out and makes the most of it.

[@kaizze8777]

he handles it better than ANY band I seen live.

[@amywhelan4888]

It's so cool to hear the audience chanting Lucky Animals when the sound first turns off. What a great crowd!

[@DenisKublitsky]

Another reminder of how enthusiastic Devin is about his work and what a great person he is!

[@NEntv58]

100% born entertainer...

[@jonathanwalther]

Oh really?! Once again?! This already happened only a month ago in Leipzig, Germany. He delivered a great and hilarious mixture of stand up comedy, philiosophy about being a musician on tour, giving autographs and an acoustic performance! Just great! Saw him the first time and was blown away!

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

And in the Barcelona's 'Be Prog my Friend' show also 😅😅😅

[@jonathanwalther]

@@VeronicaGorositoMusic Haha! Seems like it's part of the regular show :-D

[@filipepassos-coelho6661]

you'd almost wish the PA would crap out every show.

[@samiollikainen3722]

What would Devin do? LOL he's the best!

[@jonswan12]

It's easy to do when everyone in the audience absolutely loves and adores you!

[@frtard]

He doesn't even have to sing a song, the audience took care of that!

[@izanalatreon]

He just did something similar at the Be Prog My Friend festival in Barcelona, check the video he is the best

[@collectivevolution]

Bless you Townsend you beautiful fucking deity.

[@AvB.83]

Their computer stuff seems to break down on a rather regular basis, happened in Dortmund the same month as well.

[@andrewbennett6089]

6:31 You can hear that Devin is chuckling at the ridiculousness of his own joke by the way he enunciates the words and stops in between each of them. That's how the joke ends up being so funny.

[@disgustibuss]

He's one of the greatest ever in music not just for what he makes but even for things like these,he's a living legend fml

[@neeltheother2342]

"Mike's gonna talk to me and it's gonna be fucking sexy" I love this man 😂

[@Endisupertramp]

Truly the Deadpool of metal.

[@thecrasian6426]

From one musician to another, I love you man!!!

[@Pandemify]

how can someone dislike this.....

[@TheSheer96]

7 did and they are all members of the tech crew, just to troll Devin like he did (a bit) in the vid...

[@chessbrainiac]

There are always haters...there are actually people obsessive enough that when they hate someone, they see every video of that person/artist/whatever just to click that dislike button.

[@guitargrimblin]

Devin is a professional at wingin' it

[@SygmusBand]

Did that guy heckle "Suck me off, nerd"? xD

[@sgtouring]

I've never heard an audience clap this close to being in time and in unison. Very impressive.

[@c_huntermc]

Somebody should set up a GoFundMe to buy Devin a backup laptop.

[@stephenmcphillips6118]

I'm gutted i missed this having only gotten into Devin the past year or so

[@paulafox9482]

That night was so good.. I sang along as loud as I could but I lost my voice at the Manchester gig the night before. Love Dev a little too much..

[@jonnyrock29]

Was at this gig. Fantastic! Great venue too. The guy's a legend.

[@Liz-cmc313]

Devin is pro on all levels. Love this man

[@vigilante351]

Totally awesome pro work. Entertainment and enthusiasm. He does the best shows in any format.

[@joedugas9462]

I hope the next time I see him live...the PA craps out.

[@AtuOma]

Dat pirate joke tho...

[@ilialvov8142]

...Aaaand I didn't get what was the last line of the Will Smith joke :D. Thanks for the video btw!

[@1brutaldeath]

How do you find Will Smith in a snowstorm? Look for the fresh prints! As in fresh snow prints, and fresh prince of Bel-Air. Thanks for the comment.

[@ilialvov8142]

Oh, thanks for replying! Well, this one was deep :).

[@harleysrocknrollchat]

Devin is an INCREDIBLE artist, talent, and entertainer.

[@WackorMiki]

I really like his music and live performances but anyway I'd gladly go to a Devin show consisting only computer freezes and Devin talking. The guy is among the best singers and showmen, ever.

[@PatrickG74]

What a KING

[@chrispayne5985]

I was there too. So much fun

[@AmandaLaggan]

"I'm 80" ahahaha.

[@Tio-Nino]

Now I understand Buckethead nunchakus and gift giving, just in case.

[@DeathByHumbuckers]

I was there. Devin = best live musician... that is all

[@TTRVision]

pure class artists & audience !

[@TheCorona272]

Absolutely.Fucking.Awesome.

[@MaltMetalMick]

Ah i thought it looked like the Barrowlands! i couldn't make this gig :(

[@RattieRae]

This beautiful man has the patience of a fuckin saint, lol.

[@to77ro]

This man have a fuckin Class. Love it

[@Onecrunchypickl]

He has always gone 100% for fans .

[@kumudtsering]

Devin is da best

[@told2stop]

Fucking King.

[@slickguitar01]

Dev rules!

[@zjetman]

What do you mean by "like a Pro"? He is a Pro.

[@JayTor2112]

6:40, uh oh, time to stark taking a knee at Devin shows.

[@battousai12]

this man is god

[@Muppio]

Devy is the greatest.

[@LVenemy]

total pro

[@stefanozurich]

Class.

[@wheresallthezombies]

wait what was the first acoustic song he played?

[@hollohead7631]

wheresallthezombies i know at least one of the songs were life from ocean machine

[@intraterrestrial5035]

Life

[@ZhasX3]

[@RadityoPramAdi]

someone please told me the song

[@guerilla6460]

It's Ocean Machine - "Life"

[@RadityoPramAdi]

Thnks a lot!!

[@MarkkuKoljonenwTinja]

Heh! ;D by Tinja

[@randomguyuk2]

I knew that fucking digital desk was a bad idea!

[@WiresAndChords]

It's probably the SoundGrid Waves server, which is why the PA stays up to a degree... most shows everywhere now are digital boards, they're reasonably stable themselves.

[@randomguyuk2]

Ah makes sense, I have been out of the loop for a few years, I'm not familiar with the newer desks. It just made me nervous when I saw her cycling through banks of different plug ins for a live set up. To me it feels like the whole thing has the potential for all kinds of catastrophic failures that I wouldn't be able to fix on the fly, whether as a result the waves server, or anything else its running. Things move quickly and I'm probably a dinosaur, but I'm out of the game so whatever. haha
