Dredg live | Rockpalast | 2009

[@jakealpert2209]

Here 15 years later. I’m waiting for you (Dredg), I know you’re not very far behind, to play catch up 😉 Can’t wait for the next masterpiece 🐧 🌵

[@hulkingmass]

The guitarist does something so unique and lovely. He provides the atmosphere that the others breathe and fly around inside, and also the ground they walk on. He uses his delay pedal to multiply himself, and as one part fades away a new layer is added, building a rhythmic and tonal structure that gives each other player context. He keeps more time than the drummer and provides a firmer foundation than the bassist, but somehow doesn’t diminish them. It sounds almost like the bass and drums are playing on top of the guitar, which is pretty unusual. He does so much and it warms my heart to watch this man play.

[@EthanMondy]

Check out a band called Fingertight. They only did one record but the guitarist does much the same. It’s worth a listen, Dredg rules!

[@JJsiN84]

Amazing description. As a guitar player I take inspiration from this band. Really is quite unique like you said.

[@austinbailey6175]

This concert is so beautiful it often brings me to tears when I watch it. Their art is so powerful, so honest, so inventive, so pure. As a former musician myself who played in several bands, I am, each time I come back to Dredg, simply astonished by the profundity and depth of the songwriting. Frankly, I have difficulty comprehending how anyone could write music this good; this perfect. But where _does_ genius come from? We cannot predict or formulate it; we can only recognize its joyful and terrifying presence through the transfigurations it brings. Dredg's music is secular-spiritual. To listen to them is to open yourself up to a transcendent and profoundly altering experience. In my view, this band is too good for our society. We really do not deserve them. I have tried to introduce Dredg to as many people as I can, so that their lives can be transformed like mine has been. The fact that this band has not been, in my view, adequately recognized for their profound and lasting artistic achievements actually causes me physical and emotional pain (though I trust their loyal following genuinely appreciates their work). This may sound crazy; if anyone reads this they will likely say to themselves: wow, that dude has issues. What I'm saying, though, comes from my sense of seriousness about what music, when made by rare artists like Dredg, can mean and how delicate and rare the existence of something like that is, particularly in our over-marketized society wherein music is increasingly mass-produced and artistic authenticity is consequently threadbare and imperiled (which, in a way, it always is and always has been). Thank you, Dredg, for changing my life with your music, and for being with me, in the depths of who I am as a person, for all these years.

[@pimentadrums]

I totally agree with you, mate. For more than a decade I come back to this and feel the same way. Exploring their music deeper and deeper each time.

[@lburnham13]

I always liked Dredg since their first Album. I lived in Dortmund back then in 2009 and totally had the chance to go to that Visions Festival but I didn't go because I thought it would suck because it was indoors. I just discovered this live video from that concert a few days ago and now I hate myself for not going there because their performance is so breathtaking. I love it.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

I bring this up anytime I've had a few too many 🤣 and yeah it gets me teary eyed for some reason. It brings me back to when bands had actual talent. Nowadays most people use so many backing tracks and are basically doing glorified karaoke.

[@joelalexander4513]

Your thoughts match the art we love. Thank you.

[@FerdieOdendal]

wow man! You transcended through me😚. My exact experience.... It was like you pulled these words right from my mind.

[@Chilipotamus]

Dino is absolutely colossal behind the kit. For how much energy and physicality he puts into his playing, it's never too loud or overpowering the rest of the band. The amount of raw talent in Dredg is nuts

[@sclaperz]

I can't help but feel like he's just turned down in mixes. he's clearly playing his heart out but it never sounds like he's overplaying. lol

[@pitotzen2387]

I was at a Dredge show in 2003 and Dino’s drumstick broke in half, then threw it to me in the crowd. It’s incredible to watch how strong and precise he plays in person

[@xTruthxWithinx]

This band has no business sounding this good live like they do on album. Wish they’d come back

[@eldertoad98]

They're back

[@Halcyon156]

I grew up listening to these guys. I grew up in LA and was a musician, sound tech, engineer, you name it. I played in a lot of bands with varying degrees of success. One day my best friend and drummer when we were drunk and stoned said "you have to listen to these guys." He sat me down in his room in dark and put on "El Cielo" and it was a high point in my life.

[@djaxupjazz]

a high point lol - no pun intended right? :) one of my favorite albums of all time for sure.

[@mostlike]

I haven’t listened to them in so long. I cried

[@alfredovallejo3477]

This concert is a quintessential masterpiece.

This is one of the best live performances ever…. Period!

[@florianbeyer8955]

We definetly need more of this wonderful, handcrafted, intelligent, various music. Come back!

[@PeteOliva]

We need more DREDG in this world! Luckily, I've seen some recent interviews with Gavin that suggest that new stuff is in the works. I'm a musician myself, and I know the process sometimes isn't so quick when you're working on being creative in between "real" jobs. But I hope that we can have more music from this amazing band in our lives sooner rather than later! I just discovered this concert today and I'm kind of in bliss right now. 🤘🏽🤘🏽 The entire band sounds impeccable, and I honestly don't know how Gavin can keep his voice so pristine throughout an entire show!

[@chefmarv6499]

Oh man this has been floating around in pieces of varying quality for years. The whole thing in best quality available, 👌

[@mebradhen]

Man I've been missing out, Dredg is amazing!

[@ryankiewel3302]

Yes! I first heard El Cielo back in 2004 and it's my favorite album of all time. There is nothing like it. I'm glad people are hearing them for the first time even in 2024 :) I hope they can make their new album sometime soon

[@mebradhen]

@@ryankiewel3302 Just bought 3 of their albums, loving it!

[@lesterdfunct]

Wow, what a concert! I was fortunate enough to be there that night, and while it was a bit weird to sit during a dredg show, the acoustics of the venue really did the band and their intricate sound justice! Thanks to the Rockpalast team for capturing this show with style and grace!

[@lburnham13]

Damn! I lived 10 walking minutes from there back then and I didn't go. I still hate myself.

If you know, you know. I hope they realize the inspiration and beauty they deliver to music lovers.

[@mickcarver1672]

So many of my favorite artists are appreciated and shared by my friends and family members. But so few of them are moved by dredg the way I am, and the way that most of you are. I just don't get it. But it's great to come here and read your comments. It's great to be able to share that with others, even if it's just an anonymous group of people turning the comment section into a productive, thoughtful, and non snarky place to show admiration for an artist. Thank you.

[@JeromeWoody7]

Wow, that was the best live concert I have ever heard of my entire life. Dedge is so amazing I hope one day they come back and play for us. ❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@joshtsavo7154]

thankful I got to see these dudes live in their heyday, absolutely amazing band.

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

This band is so criminally underappreciated it's a goddamn tragedy. Legitimately one of the best groups of the past few decades with multiple masterpiece records. But people fall over themselves to praise and celebrate the most generic, milquetoast pop music made by billionaires instead and pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to go to a stadium gig where they get to listen to autotracks and pitch corrected "live" vocals.

[@xavgelmar85]

DREDG we miss you!!!

[@johnrobert80]

I saw them open up for my favorite band called OURS in Lawrence, Kansas at a tiny club called the Bottleneck in front of about 20 people. It was around 2005-2006 when catch without arms was coming out. They blew my mind live and I’ve been a fan since.

Watching this in 2023 and remembering seeing them in a small venue in Athens, GA (the 40 Watt) in the early 2000s. Listened to them play almost all of El Cielo. One of the greatest experiences of my life. Taping concerts on cell phones wasn't a thing back then. It was less than a hundred of us, just in the room vibing.

[@7StringShaolinMaster]

I was at that show also. Codeseven from North Carolina was also on the bill along with Strata and STUN. It was a great show!!! Amazing Times!
