Donny Benét - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@AcousticJuice93]

seemed like only yesterday I was cruising in my speedboat to these songs in 1984

[@WowJustWow37]

I lost my raybans on that speedboat

[@peterjanjanin9883]

Were you also doing cocaine?

[@stupedkiteh]

Was it made of bananas?

[@chuckfinley3152]

How many kilos?

[@steverogers7611]

I bloomed late it was ‘85 for me

[@CzarOfMars]

Donny's songwriting is great but I think a lot of people underappreciate how good of a bass player he is. Top notch technical skills that get applied tastefully to support the song and create infectious grooves.

[@ToneSherpa]

He's a fine bass player.. BUT. the thing that is most impressive about him is the fact that he can play this shit and sing lead on all these songs... and it's all super complex and syncopated. It's not like the song gets simpler when he starts to sing and then he complicates it for the instrumental breaks.. It's like trying to juggle and ride a tricycle or something.

[@MSantanaT1]

It's the first time I watch him (or listen to him), and clearly he is more a bass player than anything. His singing is not great but damn that bass is pure fire.

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

I was 11 years old in 1973 when this song was played on the countdown and I'll never forget when my dad looked at me and said Son if you ever grow up to be as cool as Donny you've succeeded in life.

[@alyssonbessani5535]

This is top quality! The drummer is not playing; he is floating.

[@ShunnyMcbuns]

Nice catch lol

[@victorrodrigues180]

Much respect for every mustache in the room. Also love the way Kevin say INFINITE...desires...

[@evergreenrider]

Donny and the boys rocked the house in Portland. Can't wait to catch them again

[@fairuzhussaini7301]

That is the most chilled out pocket drummer I've ever seen.

[@CrummyVCR]

Both SAX and Drummer are related to Donny btw ;) kinda cool if you ask me.

[@mightyV444]

DJ from Khruangbin also is pretty chill while in the pocket 😊

[@atrainradio929]

Saw these gentlemen at Warsaw in Brooklyn. We got experienced that night. They make love to their instruments.

[@TheStuntmanSteve]

The outro to Forbidden Love....I just can't get enough of it!!!

[@humanharvest4078]

i was listening to donny benet all night last night, woke up this morning and the universe answered back with this performance

[@wolfgangmerx]

The Don, a true legend.

[@AM257.]

So he's not our little secret anymore?😊❤

[@katyhm]

So happy to see Donny get more recognition! ✌️ Peace n love from Chicago

[@ludovitvirag3911]

Very tight, great sounding band. Fantastic bass playing. Great saxophone player

[@SantiNunez-ef1wt]

I watched the performance and I became a fan.

[@Knifymoloko]

You're in for a treat. Check out his Le Piano EP after the new album. One of my faves

[@mattwelle5235]

I mean…that outro to Forbidden Love is legit prog jazz heaven. Donny & gang just getting better.

[@Ntyuask]

The Don and KEXP 🔥🔥🔥 Tracks: 0:45 Multiply 5:13 American Dream 10:42 Forbidden Love 16:15 Consensual Loving

[@Ironrow]

Saw Donny and his band live in ATL earlier this year and I was blown away. Talented and suave. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone got pregnant that night!

[@droy47]

Ey! I was at that show too. Super great right?!

[@powertrip6426]

With moustaches like that, I'm not surprised!

[@thijsschipper6406]

I sure did, and I only saw this video!

[@ytsm]

You certainly don't get glorious hair like that with low T!

[@Chaoslorden]

Awesome musicians!

[@alexandrepit85]

After this performance, I'm ready to love! Genius Benét!

[@joanaparicio]

love the mix, super-tight playing. Donny & band , absolute legends!

[@extrasuperpowr]

Whoa I did NOT expect to see Benny on here today. Hell yeah!!

[@SCLONAN10538]

Unfathomably talented on the bass. Amazing live mix.

[@a.e-mann8576]

Never clicked so fast on a new KEXP video!!!😊

[@eleintblood]

Menos mal te pude ver en vida, mi Donny. Thanks for the signed records!

[@KurtThomasHauswirth]

Such a tight ensemble. Donny and the crew never disappoint!

[@Shern1922]

Saw them live a few months ago and they sounded amazing, Donny's very funny and stuck around after the show to sign merch and take pictures with fans. It was also at a barbeque spot which was an added bonus.

[@steevnifty]

The live performance I've been waiting fooor. Thank you.

[@robbe1320]

What a sound! That bass! Donny is the Best🤩!

[@JustK009]

I said it before and will continue to..Donny’s the baddest man on the planet..I wouldn’t mind seeing him in two collaborations: with ThunderCat with Mayer Hawthorne

[@alyssa4818]

THUNDERCAT, yes ❤️‍🔥

[@GizzyDillespee]

Khruangbin, Daryl Hall... maybe Tenille if she's up for a one-off... and any number of current divas would make excellent collabs, IMO.

[@robindowner666]

I'd love a Donny/Thundercat collab

[@Sageonthecoast]

Donny is so talented

[@WhiteSlash_Guitars]

I was listening in the background while working, and at some point I was like "where is this music coming from ?". It's crazy that it's a live ! It sounds really good. Then I noticed that he sings while slapping the bass, what a beast !

[@mattn.2520]

Everyone in the band is no doubt highly talented, but the full sound comes from the massive amount of backing tracks they're using (vocals, synths, keyboards). The drummer triggers them on a pad before every song.

[@jonathonmcmillan9410]

The Waples Bros. are on fire!

[@cresenciogonzalezjairojuli2247]

Alaaaaaa que buen talento traen estos batos, definitivamente KEXP nunca decepciona con los artistas que traen a su programa. 👀

[@jkand]

Amazing audio engineering!

[@GordonPavilion]

Totally!

[@gloverelaxis]

i disagree; the bass is far too low in the mix. this genre in general, and particularly Donny's music, all has the bass *very* far forward

[@Psychograce93]

​@@gloverelaxiscontext matters in this specific instance

[@raphaelleevi5778]

WE ALL LOVE DONNY

[@RhettNichols]

Buddy is slappin that thing

[@joewhy]

Great player with a sense of humor. 👍

[@stephanknull3579]

I see the guys riding against the sunset. Great stuff!

[@artoideone]

We love you Donny !

[@damiad1630]

Love you Donny!

[@myjotv6448]

Name another artist making anything this good in 2024?

[@maximelemaitre6714]

The god is back on KEXP. Thanks KEXP :)

[@progrockjock]

I ❤ Donny, man! Great to see him back here with a band! I didn't know Stanley Tucci could hold a beat like that!

[@Bobyoudontneeemyname]

Burnin’ it up donny!

[@fives.]

The amount of Steely Dan records I'm prepared to make with this guy is truly absurd

[@Knifymoloko]

Donny for life. Bringing the sensual grooves 🚬

[@BergantinoAudio]

Legends! Awesome musicians!

[@Ceeple]

Wow, Forbidden Love did not disappoint at all as a live version

[@saariepaarie12]

Ugh I love this man so much, saw 2 shows this year :) Fam Waples, keep it up!

[@Belman5]

That sounded fantastic. Great work on the mixing, brilliant performance by all involved, and terrific questions from the host. What more could you want 🙂

[@StarsWithScars]

My Man Donny!!!! He gets the attention he deserves.

[@Matt-Hurin]

As soon as The Don Plays in England with full band, I'm there 🤘🏼

[@peanutmansemporiumofrandom7472]

I just finished watching this set, thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to see Benét for my birthday. I already have my tickets ✊

[@tommyvaughanhaus]

Love The Don! Saw him in LA last year. Outstanding!

[@designatron7894]

Modern day legend.

[@idantion]

Timeless Tnx

[@LeahK-uu9rf]

Love this so much. Speaks to my soul 🎈

[@asdf2593]

saw them live in march and am still thinking about how good the guitarist is, absolute professional live

[@Dorachagi1]

Much love Donny

[@winnipesaukee9252]

Glad KEXP had Donny back. I missed him on this tour. Saw his first KEXP show, then saw him in concert a few years ago. Great show.

[@michaeljamesyates]

Donny wins a gold medal every time

[@deliciousrelish]

The don graces us once more. Amazing

[@turnippocketted]

Wow! Just stumbled on this. Thanks KZbin ❤

[@jacobstuddard6940]

Wow! I’ve heard a couple songs by these dudes and I didn’t realize the bass is singing! Hell yeah

[@tjdonohue7469]

Yes he is back in action

[@modgrip805]

Hot enough to toast!

[@JothJackson]

Yess Donny

[@simewn]

Fantastic!

[@chickenzwings]

I fucking love Donny. If you're a bass nerd check out his youtube channel! He goes into the basses he uses and how to play his songs!

[@TheStuntmanSteve]

Man's tone is immense! We're all so busy focusing on his moustache that we forget he's a monster bassist first of all.

[@YohanSchweitz-o2x]

His tones are tippy top tier,, tone on American dream downright ridiculous. I'll chk out his channel tho

[@Matt-Hurin]

The Main Man, the Don 🤌🏻

[@grecozito]

Donny for President!

[@eddyafritz]

Hell Yeah, been wanting to catch Donny for a few years now. Sad that every time he's in the states Im booked. Donny, please book a show next week when I'm in Perth lol.

[@Autsider]

I was both in prague and vienna this year and it was amazing. Would definitely revisit. Thx again for the photo in vienna Don ❤

[@jamesvitucci7191]

I absolutely love the moment at 21:51, so genuine and wholesome

[@lucasisaiasscardamaglia1397]

They have that late 70s, early 80s west coast sound down.

This is what peak male performance looks like

[@thebreakfastmenu]

I've got some serious mustache envy right now.

[@imherno]

Te quiero mucho Donny Benét

[@Audiofilas]

Nice.

[@samuelbarber6585]

Donny is back, we are blessed.

[@MinkyUrungus]

Incredible audio quality, dang.

[@fitzmeister87]

The Don has so much mana 🎶 if he were to cover Cee-Lo Green's "Hot Tub of Love" someday 🎉

[@lukeczerwinski5079]

Band of Brothers :)
