DONNY BENÉT - LIVE EXPERIENCE

[@bradmosier7687]

My girlfriend and I watched this when it aired as a virtual concert for a date night. She made a sushi bake and we got a little dressed up. A night very well spent. Thank you Donnie.

[@Rolandbv]

It was my wife's birthday the day it first aired. We too made a night of it and it was amazing!

[@cosmicbaggy]

Goes without saying you both got laid that night...

[@ckwanita907]

Lucky lady 👌

[@LukeFennell]

fuck thats awesome! my gf wouldn't do this at all :(

[@breesevere]

Sushi BAKE and Donny and you didn't even have to leave the house? That is goals.

[@antimetus]

You come for the novelty, but stay for the musical genius

[@solowingpixi]

Yes

[@naringrass]

solid quality music, them frogs/toads (which he's channeling, clearly) really do know their way around DEEP GROOVING BASSLINES

[@vbarbosa480]

it has BENET pleasure.

[@steventan2754]

well DON

[@johnanderson3475]

i see what u did there. haha

[@mandel12]

Now that's a power comment.

[@FPVMystique]

I know someone will read this. My wife is currently hospitalized and it's Christmas Day. This video gave me the positive energy I needed to help to keep moving forward. I am using that energy to support her as much as possible. Thank you sincerely for the intellectual tunes, Donny.

[@ampthebassplayer]

The man. The myth. The mustache. The legend.

[@pizzadadbod]

I'm gonna shave my ears for this one..

[@adderon]

I hear that

[@sherm_stick]

2nd Dinner was so good I almost went back for 3rds

[@mettfisch2624]

just found out that there is a donny benét on this planet. instantly listened to all songs, watched all videos and bought the vinyl...

[@majorfifth5911]

Yup. That's usually how it goes.

[@CarlosSR88]

This is so 80s I went back to my mother's womb.

[@chesterwick]

Best thing the Facebook Algorithm ever did for me was sending this dudes ad my way. Legit tunes.

[@rustyspigot1876]

just got it tonight. Agreed

[@oranjuly]

Dude is an incredible funk bass player and lead singer - a rare combo because it’s so challenging

[@eadghe]

Gotta say his singing is pretty weak live. Props for being honest live, ergo no playback and no ton of technique on his voice, but vocalwise he really is a studio person. Instrumentalwise he and the band did a solid job!

[@Bassdriver]

@@eadghe Actually several hours with a good singing teacher might help him quite a lot. But his bass playing is really good!

[@eadghe]

@@Bassdriver Yes, there is always a chance for improvement and I think Donny wouldn't struggle, since he works in that field and has the spirit.

[@Bassdriver]

@@eadghe and one more thing I have to add after watching the entire show - he REALLY needs to work on his intonation when playing a fretless, at least in high registers. A lined fingerboard might help too ;-)

[@xxhorrorpunkxx]

his voice is honest. i like it

[@dusaovox]

11:54 this part of the show was amazing!

[@strangersun7721]

I've been a guitarist for over 30 years. Never was too interested in bass. Now I am. What a talent.

[@hatchetman664]

found this man 3 weeks ago and im hooked. energy is different with a live band. i wanna be there for it. protect The Don

[@lionelnaidoo360]

I'm in South Africa and it will 5am for me ! a plate of cold cuts is better than a hot bed.

[@wesatat]

I'm in South Africa its 1030 now and Im vibing HARD!

[@retroFUNKINgroova]

Lekker jy

[@daolchang]

the bass is so punchy and reliable in the event of my untimely demise I hereby entrust it as the protector and provider of my offspring

[@peterlarkin762]

That bass already has 23 child support payments every month. It just can't help finding the groove.

[@sgt_postman]

It’s been almost 2 years since I found out Donny’s music. Now it reminds me of the times of my previous and precious idle and peaceful life here in Ukraine. Was supposed to visit his concert last summer in Europe but it is what it is. Hope to see you one day, mr. experience

[@innercityprepper]

This is beautiful, and I too hope you see him in concert soon my friend.

[@MorticiaObscurum]

Yeah, guess I'll do it then: 0:33 - Mr Experience 4:30 - Moving Up 8:23 - Second Dinner 13:31 - Reach Out 18:12 - Girl of My Dreams 26:15 - Negroni Summer 29:52 - One Night in Paradise 33:56 - Take a Trip 37:56 - You Don't Need Love 42:45 - Waterfall (Love Scene) Personally Take a Trip's my personal favourite, the chords are just right

[@BazzakudaGaming]

Not all hero’s wear capes I very much appreciate the effort you did 😊🙏🏻

[@tobymcgroby8967]

Thanks, Timestampers are youtube's MVPs! My personal fave is working out, but I only discovered him 5 days ago on spotify. ...That Mr. Experience cover shot of his face with no shirt on, hairy shoulders, I couldn't help but wonder who he was, I checked it out as a joke. After listening to his hits, I was immediately hooked. Nobody dares to venture back to the 80s or disco era type music anymore, so it was a pleasant surprise

[@amordemadre]

Thnks!

[@skipnick]

Looks like we punched all the numbers and you got 69 likes

[@Esrom_music]

Good on ya

[@dudeyemsi9304]

Seriously one of the best concerts ever recorded. If this was pressed on vinyl, I'd buy three copies.

[@TheRoomofRareMusic]

Konichiwaこんにちは！ ドニーベネットさん！日本に来て下さいね！Please oome to Japan!

[@trboslav]

You are already in Serbia mr. Benét. You are in all our hearts, bless you. Živ bio kralju.

[@martinenn]

[@Raaaaaaaa82]

Одличан је Дони 👏👏👏

[@Retro-Future-Land]

His heart travels far indeed.

[@christianfriisjensen2055]

One must never forget how much of an unstoppable groovebeast this man is whenever there's a bass in his capable hands.

[@LordLove]

Let off some steam, BENET!

[@dylanwade2020]

There's two types of people in this world, Donny Benet and women

[@ethanhopfer1578]

Best comment ever lol

[@BolleBoi]

Does that make me women

[@kurtdewittphoto]

You almost made me choke on a fig bar.

[@YodaZemunski]

@@kurtdewittphoto That would have been a way to go

[@mcscrooge4542]

​@@kurtdewittphoto 😋 😜 🤪 Having a little 'Second Dinner' are we? Enjoy every sandwich! 🌭 🍷 🍔

[@SaulTPokit]

He was randomly recommended to me on KZbin - Konichiwa - in December and I'm hooked man. Girl of my Dreams is such a good wee tune. Bought Mr Experience on vinyl and haven't had it off the platter. I'm a heavy metal guy as well.

[@scottholpainen]

MY GOD HE'S SO SMOOTH!

[@artomarto679]

And he doesn't even try..

[@HAL-im9tr]

Years ago I stumbled upon a guy in Donny's comment section saying that we don't deserve him... Well, that very same thought gets to me every damn time I listen to him. Donny, if you see this, I thank you on behalf of all living matter in the Universe. Cheers from Serbia.

[@carlogee]

Donny, with your music in the world, I know everything is going to be ok. What a legend.

[@Retro-Future-Land]

Basically if the nukes drop, the survivors absolutely must have his complete works on stand-by during the downtime to mute the horrors without.

[@Wellgoez]

Please, Donny, Save the planet with your love !

[@paulmayerpiano]

Can I just point out how hard it is to play those busy basslines and sing at the same time? Most ppl have trouble just remembering all the words. Sheesh...

[@SCCatelo]

Esto es tremendo!!! Cómo no lo encontré mucho antes? Me lo recomendó mi vecino hace unos días y no puedo dejar de escucharlo!!!

[@RolandDuke]

Dressed up, cabaret seating, some nice cocktails and your lady’s hand in yours at the Donny Benet show.

[@TheTilde]

These chorists sway like wind in the banana trees ❤❤

[@duartebriz]

I realized that I was living in darkness until I hear and see this... As a wanna be bassist this guy became my hero instantly. 😀

[@austinstillwell]

This is brilliant on about 10 different levels.

[@doktorfellatio438]

Really takes me back to a time I didn't even exist yet. Don is the man!

[@erich1710]

Maybe the reason you exist is *because* of music like this... Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!

[@Lowest_Levels]

Hotter than eating spicy tacos in the sauna with wine on tap while outside the hottest day of the year, at high noon with a smoldering large red sun casting it's sneaker melting rays down into the shimmering waters, where dolphins splash happily off the beach. Benet sums up my life philosophy in this age of troubled minds.

[@ArgoNavis94]

Underrated comment. I salute you.

[@mbcrra]

Hotter than a kick in the ear. Than an asthray in a bingo room. Than Stephen Hawkin's right ear. Than a cordon bleu's cheese.

[@kevinsturges6957]

You said it!

[@ignatgoossens]

Great reason to wear my Donny Benet t shirt!!

[@christopherkunchick]

I'm gonna wear my Mr. Experience T-shirt too!!

[@ZoëElizabeth-SD]

My son & I have grooved to this for 3 years this summer. Thank you Donny. x

[@shiboomi2249]

I've been on this planet for nearing 40 years and, to this day, I've never understood it when people have said that it's the bass player that gets all the chicks. (I've always felt like it should probably be the lead guitarist, if anything.) While enjoying this fine performance -- somewhere around the mid-point of Second Dinner to be specific -- something clicked with me, and I feel like I finally understand. Thank you, Donny Benét! (For this and other things.) P.S. This comment is honestly not intended to be ironically humorous (and shame on you if you thought otherwise!); this is my sincere account of some kind of legitimate enlightenment that I believe I just experienced.

[@Retro-Future-Land]

Lead guitarist might get the groupies I guess but maybe the bass guy attracts rando-women more into the energy instead of the 'name' or celebraty?

[@teedomeowgi7959]

Chef Benet serving up the tastiest bass in town

[@macderosa7589]

Donny turned my night around and had his way with it!!

[@josephlammardo]

Strange I actually like this. A friend mentioned him just today. When is a parody not a parody…Donny.

[@davidmazzini783]

"Living Legend"

[@CharlesButlerVIII]

For a live event the sound mixing is AWESOME! Great dynamics and each instrument comes through very clear...

[@whyohbee]

Came for the Don, stayed for the Don.

[@strawhousepig]

You've always wondered what goes through a bass players mind when they get bored, well, here you go. Cheers to Mr. Benét for making it a reality. 🍸

[@Cropsykills]

Donny is a man you know that loves the old 69. Like me, he's a man of culture.

[@mesasavage]

Mix one part Har Mar Superstar, one part R Stevie Moore, one part Ron Jeremy and mix liberally with the 80s episode of Yacht Rock... You get a nice fresh serving of Donny Benét! You know, the very first time I saw one of his videos, I knew that he must be the bass player because the bass lines were so sick. The whole thing tis just a showcase for his bass playing!

[@MegaJam8bit]

You know when you literally applaud a youtube video, someone did something right.

[@franfenderjazz]

Elana's glasses for the win.......so 80's!

[@rowanbrecknell4021]

rWMINDS ME OF THE OLD DAYS OF MY fATHER ON STAGE.

[@cleemckinnis]

why are you the best Donny. I love your music and this is one of my favorite albums of all time. Negroni Summer is a philosophical masterpiece that I always take time to savor as it reminds me of the joys of taking time to enjoy life! YOU are the best! Can't wait for the NEW ALBUM!

[@freqlok3070]

Thank you for not drenching/masking the live vocals in chorus/delays/ stereo effects etc... . Great show!

[@wolfgangrecordings]

that's never really been his style tbh, most of his studio recordings have the vocals on the dry side too. also you don't really tend to use stereo fx live so much on vocals

[@doshiempiresandpuzzles8822]

I love that this is shot in 4:3

[@duartebriz]

And the old school overlay effects 👍👍👍

[@sourdoughsdreams4001]

Apparently they do make them like this anymore.

[@renangoncalvesflores]

The band is amazing. The only bad thing about it is that they are not Donny Benét.

[@mdee8784]

National treasure this man 🎸 🇦🇺

[@bob6230]

Music makes the man,,,a true giant, Thank You Donny

[@frenchywi7686]

Singing and playing the bass at the same time on stage .... Bravoooo

[@jessebillson]

Completely genius. Right down to the aspect ratio! It's hard to believe what I'm seeing.

[@bplus2932]

When a Tim and Eric Skit turns into a real Banger, Great Job!

[@RoryG]

The Maton bass is killing! Great performance, looks the part in 1080 or 144p

[@Usualeclectic]

Sipping my coffee in Dallas... feet kicked up-cheers to you all and to the Don himself!

[@AppalachianScribble]

Love, from Kentucky ❤

[@mrdajve]

Music 2.0 and I'm fully on board!

[@lazylion420]

look I'll be honest; in a world full of Red cameras and nerds obsessing about every single pixel of their 8k format, I can really appreciate the fuck out of some intentionally and artistically applied low-fidelity video quality. it's so soft and comforting. take your anxious 1080p60FPS and shove it. I'm all here for Donny Darko and the VHS vibes

[@sarahpark4207]

yesssssss

[@henzolily]

Donny darko? 🤣

[@Retro-Future-Land]

lololol

[@rodolfooliveira6358]

I love Benet!!!! Pleassse, come to Brazil in 2021..or...2022...😬❤️

[@paulstanley5672]

This guy jams! I love it with the band! Should record with the band in studio, the Sax adds soooo much same with the back up singers.... I am a mechanic and I always jam this when fixing machines

[@bunkyspunkmeyer]

Never had this amount of anticipation for anything 😍😍😍

[@markpatane3677]

Same here

[@Purplereign3121]

Amazing songs awesome basslines. Great live experience indeed. I hope that Donny will play in Greece someday 😊

[@indigopotatomusic7471]

What a stunning performance.

I'm watching this at work and just got written up for sexually harassing the office!

i feel harassed 2 months later

All hail the Don

[@erickdesafreire1356]

AMAZING BRO!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@magic.island]

This was the suggested video after my own bands video and I couldn't be happier.

[@Booxbred]

TOO SMOOTH! Slipping out of my chair.

[@BartFunkBass]

Incredible performance! I love you Donny!

[@MadeofThings]

This is going awesome, Donny. Come back and hang with us again when the pandemic is over 🐙♥️

[@Nebra1979]

I came for The Don, I stayed for The Don and bass virtuosity ! Purrrrrfect :)

[@chameronthe_profit7467]

On a Garth Marenghi level of brilliance. Oh and the music slaps

[@wolfgangrecordings]

i was about to comment that howard moon of the mighty boosh would love donny, but this is close enough :) funnily enough i just finished watching darkplace again recently, and discovered donny at the same time. that's some nice synchronicity

[@IvanSkull666]

Thanks thanks thanks!!!

[@carlossevilla2978]

Anyone who's seen (and liked) his old shows where it was just him and the snyth/keyboard need to see this new setup with live instruments and him grooving hard on bass

[@Crovax9000]

Donny sos lo mejor que me pasó en la vida.

[@bloodnchocolate]

Remil sí.

[@yeroc5033]

The opening track ensures to the audience their money is well spent.

[@antoniojosecebrianvazquez8869]

SEE YOU IN MANCHESTER!!!

[@AngelArtists]

This guy is awesome. It's like he's a parody of bad 80s disco towards the end of its era, BUT its somewhat fantastic & cool at the same time. But Donny's right, slap bass IS the sound the kids want to hear 👍

[@wagnerribeiro4061]

Absolutely gorgeous! Everything is impeccable!

[@ramuelbatuigas3964]

He just announced his NA tour with a live band. Im stoked!
