[@ToCatchAVein]

Fuck I was hoping nobody mentioned the diff in Joe's vocal efforts in this or could just be an extra emotional day or time for the selfless gentlemen but it was literally the 2nd comment. Being a drummer for 25 yrs Ive always noticed those rare moments when I get slightly off time on certain lines from recording to live setting but he makes up for it with overwhelming ferocity and the bands been playing together so fucking long they'll find eachother thru any blunder. Even if it fell to pieces and they failed to even Finnish fuck it, if music is too perfect it takes the humanity out of it and once you've done that might as well not play no more cuz that's what music's for. Exists to build bridges and keep ppl who have the ability a very incredible out when it comes to mental illness. I can only speak for myself but when I'm creating my subconscious is a long for the ride and inadvertantly contributing to the process rather than make me chase it all around the cosmos all day trying to answer questions idk who's even asking me, for lack of better words........ 1 involuntary rant later (apologies), lotta musicians play to try getting big, famous, or wtv the fuck and others do it cuz we fucking have to or get the straight jacket. Once again, speak for myself. They absolutely play because they have to!!! When passion and love can literally be seen on stage, it gives me hope, makes me feel like there's something much bigger going on here. This band is the Ayahuasca of the music world, bringing ppl together just like plants' compounds become 1.

[@moonstruckskywalker9276]

Yeah, I absolutely think the same! It's like he waited to give us a present and now it's there! :D

[@pejmannoruspur668]

I'm new here and this my actual first listen to this band. I dont get to deep into how much Im impressed with this performance and how everything is in its right place, but I will get into one thing, the song "The Beachland Ballroom". This song is "the song"... Its the one that I guess I needed to hear the most. I didnt know what to expect going into the song but what I can say for sure is that, it left me bleeding in my emotions and tears, and even tho its been 3 hours since my initial listen, the song still leaves a mark, leaves me speechless. The last segament of the song, is most of how I felt in the past 6-8 months and I couldnt let it out because I didnt know how. But hearing those vocals cut through this barrier of being passive and emotionless... Sorry for me rambling on, I think I just needed to write this somewhere...

What amazes me the most is the impossible balance joe and company have achieved between great and energetic violence and profound and authentic sensibility. This songs actually speak about this whole era with sharp criticism but also profound understanding of the times we are living. Even more: they cannot be imitiated because of the unique energy and strength they put in every note, every phrase, every expression, always giving the 300% in the scenario, this is how you can tell they're passionate, they love what they do and truly respect their audience, always giving us different but amazing interpretations of the same songs, that are always new. They are never robotic, never tired, never the same, that's why every performance is unique and truly amazing, I shall thank them for being who they are, and initiatives like from the basement for giving us the chance to enjoy this musical revolution. Can't wait to see and listen to them live, it's going to be a dream come true. With bands like Idles, King Gizzard, Squid or Black Midi, I must say that these are exciting times to be alive.

They're just lazy when they say that.

[@pathetictoiling]

I felt that way til I found IDLES!

[@kevinwallace962]

I was one of those people I'm ashamed to admit it ...Then along came IDLES ! Saviours of modern music

[@toddmeiers]

I have never heard much of the Idles. This just came up on my KZbin home page. So I checked it out. I am so glad I checked it out. This is an absolute amazing performance. The music grabbed my soul and took me to the place where only the most powerful musicians can take me. Thank you so much. I am now going to go back and start from the first album. I will definitely spread the word. The Idles are insanely awesome

[@PeasantGarden]

Agreed

[@michaelrodriguez2961]

In the past week I've seen this at least three or four times a day. It is so beautiful seeing how they've grown as a band. Each and every member is captivating in their own way, but I feel like Jon Beavis needs a lot more praise. At the 18-minute mark when everybody was looking at him was the most FUGAZI moments I've ever seen.

[@ropesquid2085]

Gotta be the best full time drummer and part-time accountant in the game But in all seriousness, the tension was unbelievable and you can tell all the other band members were waiting with delicious anticipation for him to come in like a sledgehammer through drywall

[@rvialm]

I feel this performance shifted my left brain two decimeters backwards. Absolutely insane. Glad to see bands in these times that have this level of creativity, performance and such an original poetic horizon. I LIKE THAT

[@Kam3hameha]

So so good and i am glad "From the Basement" is back! Now, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BRING "THE SMILE" DOWN TO THAT FOOKIN BASEMENT! *_*

[@Philoceraptor]

I've listened to this at least once a day for the last two weeks. So flippin' good, amazing performance.

[@single_daddin_it]

I put IDLES on for an old friend and he said "What is this? I don't like it." I'm not friends with him anymore. I don't need that kinda negativity.

[@magalicornette292]

Friends of mine can have different tastes than mine but it's true that I can barely dig how someone cannot love Idles

[@user-bf9ob6vi9r]

Too many levels for them haha this is my favourite set from them.

[@nilsbovenschen3188]

This Beachland Ballroom performance was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen!

[@sirdouglas2010]

I saw them in San Antonio, TX in Oct 2021. They didn't have to come to South Texas on tour but they did. I will always love the IDLES even more for that. The show was Epic.

[@tomazrocker]

I've listen to this like 500x already. Absolute masterpiece!

[@shelbytaylor3835]

currently obsessed and recommending this band to EVERYONE

[@bearbaro]

We’ll be watching from Mexico.

[@rangel_]

Wey te veo en cada publicación de IDLES jajajaja

[@julioocelotl5908]

Rockeando desde México!!

[@NJStew22]

It's rediculous how good this performance is

[@annathompson7770]

I am so sad I am just now discovering IDLES. But grateful that I’m here. Absolutely the best of the best in every aspect.

[@xmonks]

I keep sending this to people to show that watching "live" music online can be transformative. A+ Great Seller

[@santiagoarias50]

Joe's voice is getting outstandingly melodical and beautiful. Amazing. 🌿

[@phatramp]

I nearly threw my bottle of Stella through the glass double doors of my back room listening to this, I can never ever gain the amount of energy THE IDLES gives to me compared to anything else in my life. This is powerful stuff as always and have been hooked since a few years ago after finding them and 1st hearing Mother....jesus I am so amped right now from this performance, I need another wrap.

[@brutallyremastered4255]

Cringe

[@danstirling7386]

Didn’t really get the band until I saw this. Amazing performance!

[@mierich1]

It's not often that you have to sit in complete silence after the music is over. This has been one of these times. Outstanding performance.

[@qq-md3si]

the way joe says WHEEL around 20:45 is one of the best moments

[@dcQ23]

First time hearing this band and they are killing it! Reminds me of 20 years ago when i was listening to Interpol and wishing they were harder. LOVE THIS BAND. THANK YOU.

[@SEATACx]

Was thinking the same. Haven't enjoyed something like this since that time.

[@stevesayer84]

Wow the Interpol connection is not one I’ve noticed before your comment…good shout!

[@bradfordgoodwin9611]

Or of 30 years ago listening to Fugazi and wishing the performance would never end!!!

[@TheAdamwalters]

Idles was my first live show after Covid and what a way to get back to live music

[@FromTheBasementOfficial]

IDLES will be answering questions in the chat when this goes live. Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss more new episodes coming up.

[@Godhatesfatpeople]

*All ready to go:* Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized Joe Talbot's, or 1 horse-sized Joe Talbot?

[@DstandsforDoomed]

Joe, what are your Doc’s? Gotta get me a pair! ♥️

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

Love you guys this ruled ❤

[@jeffmaleri7754]

@@Godhatesfatpeople wow that's a tough question, but a good one...I guess ducks for me??

[@guy8029]

From The Basement - I’m not sure if you handle where adverts are places in the video, but a couple of times the Ad came right at a climax/just before the actual end of the song. Other than that fantastic editing and sound on this, been watching these sessions for years.

[@ZwienerZ]

I’m just amazed by their progression. When I first heard them I was like, “oh cool these guys are fun.” After watching this I’m very impressed. Excited to see the future!

[@jasondavies9037]

If you are just discovering these guys everything they put out is just flawless. Enjoy

[@Alex-kp2xq]

Idles???? My brother just sent me the tiny tiny room session, and i was HALLELUJAH!!¡!!!!!! AWESOME BAND, I WAS kinda horrified by music latley...... But you guys are pure genuine crazy galloping horses!!!! Love it.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@C.SchitzPopinov]

Was this performance suppose to be so splendid that it would bring me to my knees? The Beachland Ballroom, pretty much had me in tears.

[@mattlombardi54]

This is auditory art.
