[@monitorlizard9971]

Imagine being there not knowing whose on the mic, just a dude being crazy yapping youd think its a crazy person and then holy SHIT wtf was that glorious mind blowing vocals.

[@floatymcboaty9851]

With all due respect to Devin, he is a f**king crazy person 😃

[@louderthangod]

Best comedy special I’ve seen in years.

[@eattheheat1919]

Proof he can shine every time

[@quantumhealing341]

He is always superb!

[@harolddeschenes4640]

This guy is absolutely wonderful!!! What a great human being!!!

[@nerdfactor500]

You've just given us another reason to love you Devin.

[@denverrandy7143]

Ive never given Devon Townsend a chance...This is great!!!

[@elimcfly350]

There's a lot to love about this guy. Definitely check out his catalogue.

[@denverrandy7143]

@@elimcfly350 I just checked out "Kingdom" and "Genesis" WOW!!!👍

[@robert.-]

welcome to the family my guy... there's a long way ahead, this absolute batshit crazy bastard and blessing of a human being has 20+ albums under his belt across his multiple eras (strapping young lad, devin townsend project, devin townsend band, solo). enjoy the ride!

[@Zhgarr]

@@denverrandy7143 Nice picks! Genesis certainly isn't usually an early pick for people, it kind of is an amalgamation of the different styles he covered over the years so it's kind of all over the place. So if there were parts that you liked, there's probably albums out there in that style :D Some other nice introduction songs (I usually prefer his live versions): * Failure - at Plovdiv * Deadhead - at Royal Albert Hall * Higher! - at Plovdiv and if you want to take an album deep plunge, google for "Devin Townsend Flowchart" and check that out. It's a bit outdated, missing some of the newer albums, but it's a good start! (PS. My favorite listen is the "holy trinity" - Funeral, Bastard and Death of Music at Royal Albert Hall)

[@borna1231]

@@denverrandy7143 Now that you´ve almost certainly seen the Royal albert hall Deadhead, what´s your opinion😁?

[@missmetal]

I'd buy whatever he's selling.

Let It Roll 1:51 Deadhead 6:12 Bring Him Home (from Les Misérables) 9:31 Solar Winds 17:28 Ih-Ah! 20:41

[@VagueLuminary]

My man really out here giving the best performances in thrall to capitalism at a public place he really doesn't want to be, truly an inspiration

[@acgm046]

Devin can transform any moment into a musical/comedy performance, even if he's overwhelmed and stressed out of his mind. I wonder whether he finds it a bit less difficult to decompress from NAMM nowadays or just the same, but i wish him the best anyway. He's an absolute treasure. ❤

[@kaoticarkon5518]

Nailed the pitch despite not being able to hear... Astounding!

[@floatymcboaty9851]

A London Tube station would have better sound, but fair play to DT for making the best of it

[@magusmelanie828]

Ah existential crisis Dev, we love yiu

[@BrofUJu]

Basically him about 50% of the time, which is why we love him, lol

[@circleVI]

jesus that saxophone in the background 😂

[@cjjones4050]

Freakin love you man!! I appreciate all your musical talent's and man you're funny as hell!! 🤘🤙✌️

[@bloozer666]

Love this shit!!! Dude is awesome!!!

[@JohnHenry1331]

I love this human

[@jakeorel3406]

Beautiful, fantastic. Happy Friday and all that 🤙

The only musician that can touch my Soul❤

[@stupud818]

While also touching your bumhole!

[@Jaoip]

NAMM 2024. The dying remnants of a dying industry where all get together to celebrate their inadequacies and their relationships with their fathers and rendering themselves emotionally incapable in dealing with anything other than validations from strangers, indeed.

[@chrisvickroy6170]

Indeed

[@RichardGarcia93]

It’s not that deep lol. It was a great and fun NAMM

[@guitarslinger16]

devin is absolutely amazing

[@MrMapacheco]

the yap god has logged on

[@BakedAnomaly]

master entertainer

[@LifeHawkeye]

Poor Devin lol. He’s so talented but he was at the mercy of both the noise of NAMM and of a moody acoustic guitar yikes. I can speak from experience that when acoustic strings are brand new but haven’t been stretched yet, tuning per string can change frustratingly quick. Devin is an amazing musician and handled this well lol.

[@DerAntikristSeelenMord]

The Best

[@Epiphonech]

Still a great performance despite very distractive envoirment for such acoustic set. That's Evertune bridge missing right there

[@seba5837]

I love Devin Townson

[@mirna2979]

Amazing as always ☺️

[@beppythepilgrim6302]

What a shitty noisy place to play. Devin deserve better.

[@gpstenholm23]

Poor Devy .... also, why is he playing a Cole Clark? His signature acoustic is a Prestige.

[@TroublesomeOwl]

Why not? CC make lovely instruments!

[@gpstenholm23]

@@TroublesomeOwl they do indeed.. just thought they wouldn't want him playing other brands.. don't know

[@martin42382]

Great vid! Whats the brand of guitar he's using in this vid?\

[@heidirosenz]

Was that last song new?

[@phoebedaemon]

Nah that was Ih-Ah! from Addicted :)

[@Dunkelheit_Schwarz]

Where did this take place? I assume it was some kind of mall? Poor Dev, he did his best to make it work. Well at least we got another comedy piece lol

[@davidperes3720]

He says early in the video it was NAMM 2024.
