Jesus this is is so good but in context really dark to witness when following the time line of Johns 2018 this year.. He got a really talented crew together to finally make live sets more traditional and easier for himself. He gets to tour with his beloved brother as a band mate and was married to some Polish artist . Then... He announces in a reddit ama his wife left him, and then John's brother sadly dies some time later(RIP Joe.) Bless this man for having the emotional endurance to still tour and perform for his adoring fans All this context makes his performance here even stronger and emotional.. These performances must be very therapeutic and cathartic for him and his soul.

[@fandelchef3652]

Her ex-wife Kika Karadi is hungarian. He is a really strong human being, I am surprised he still is touring, I saw him three times with his band and then I saw him play solo in Bilbao. It was hard to see him without his brother and the band, but I'm proud he still plays live. I got to meet Joe a week before his death, it was horrible to wake up to the news of his sudden death... I think John is still processing the loss somehow. Godspeed!

[@alfielb8040]

well said, I thought he'd never perform again. God Bless John Maus

[@versnellingspookie]

Notice how he opens with 'My whole world is falling apart' :'(

[@liammcooper]

yeah then follows with "castles in the grave" and closes with "your pets are gonna die" :/ @@versnellingspookie

Rest in peace indeed. why must all this horrible shit happen to John, his band and his family in such a short time?

I discovered John while going through one of the toughest times of my life. “Do Your Best” came on my Spotify radio while I was walking through a cold winters street feeling hopeless and lost. It felt like a warm embrace that provide unexpected comfort when I needed it most. I went home to watch one of his performances and was moved beyond words. John, you are a beautiful artist and I wish you peace through the pain...

[@jonathant4201]

Jessica Moore Do Your Best is totally life affirming man

[@heynongman1222]

I had an incredibly similar experience. Same song and everything. Glad to hear it was able to help you the way it helped me!

[@hectormenchaca9617]

I can feel you on this - I got into John Maus last year during one of my darkest times in my life and My Whole World's coming apart literally saved my life - I owe a lot to him.

[@gordonfreeman-g5w]

41:39 Heartbreaking performance man.. It's not hard to imagine him thinking of his brother when singing this.

[@henriqueb8538]

His performance is spectacular. He transmits a social detachment like attitude and a slaming self sufficiency that sums up into something I can relate to. His way to awkwardly show emotions is by definition a rebellious act against this normal world and I see much of the same in me.

a.k.a autism

[@AnthonyVargas-kt7ht]

Fools for christ

[@christianbachmann8206]

Or: maybe he is just the best performer ever. And definitely not autistic (autism wouldn’t even fit at all here). Read the interviews. He is just a very intense performer plus a very gentle and calm person if you meet him. If one thing could be said about John is that he could be more confident of his amazing work. He is a very humble person

[@fullmoonsociety7463]

I watch this daily, from beginning to end. I'm not kidding. This is my favorite live performance of all time. And it's just a man with his backing track. But it's so real and so visceral, so cathartic and so fitting for my reality. Thanks John Maus, nothing matters when I listen to this performance, I wish I could witness it live.

I've never seen him live and hope I can, but what I love about his shows is that it seems like a guy who brought his own songs on a usb to a local karaoke night and sings his guts out for his own personal catharsis

[@smithywerbenjagermanjensen]

Just one of the absolute greatest performances I've ever seen. I saw him twice that same year, at primavera and roskilde fest, roskilde i believe was Joe's last performance as John's bassist. Both times were extremely cathartic for me, but this performance is something else. Seeing him all alone on that vast stage performing his guts out is just so so revelatory. I don't care about many artists beyond their musical output, but i really hope John is doing good these days, he has given us so much.

[@istanformarzipan]

I just found this guy a week ago and I'm spellbound, amazing

[@fullmoonsociety7463]

I love his energy, it must be so cathartic to perform like he does. Wish he did a live album, his screaming vocals fit his songs really well... I love the studio version, but the live performances have an extra liberating wrath that I really like.

[@kemmmer]

Anyone else here also looking forward to seeing John live in Dublin this September? I still can't believe I'll finally see/hear him live, it's like a fecking dream

[@Nlorgpipe]

I hope I see him live one day

i'm catching him live in Barcelona during october... extremely excited to see him again. i'm thinking of gifting him a Bach CD.

Hmmm... I got a strange allusion. His amazing weird style of performance and hypnotizing hyperenergy very similar to russian musician Petr Mamonov (look for "звуки му консервный нож"). Both of them like a shamans at mysteria)

[@kemmmer]

I never thought of that but this comparison does make sense... only Mamonov was on an obvious self-destructive path so a bit more extreme than John in that sense, but both are emotional/cathartic powerhouses

[@oostenmusic]

Am i not mistaken but isnt this after Joe Maus's death? I thought all of these 2018 gigs had his full band? They cut the last leg of the tour after joes death but he resumed without the backing band. Is this one of those shows recently after joes death? (they where in north america) was this a gig that was to be cancelled? strange

[@fandelchef3652]

You're right, this was just after Joe's death. He did three european shows in october-november without the band (due to the death of Joe) and later embarked on a short US tour with the old karaoke performances.
