[@sabrinasmusic]

Fantastic explosion of MY OVARIES

[@rolandfaucon1560]

the singer has a crazy charisma

[@ULTRAVISTA.]

I still listen to this everyday. Best love performance of any song ever recorded. The ending is absolutely transcending

[@BAMnadia]

i watch this like. everyday

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

Nadia Rahman 16 times in the last 24 hours for me. Bout to see them live in another 24.

[@MrEblevin]

seeing them on Sunday for 'The Weather' set.

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

They have a killer set! Don't miss their opener, he's got one of the craziest shows I've seen all year and I've seen a lot

[@lilmac4202]

I go back to this every month since I watched it probably 5 years ago. I always queue it up when I chill with friends

[@danielg7204]

Me too mate dont worry the drum beat makes it

[@the_sage_head1953]

Proper music, played by proper musicians. So much energy in this performance

[@NovaLovebright777]

One of The Greatest Bands of our Time❤️🎵

[@terryhughes7196]

What a multi-layered cake of sound. Each layer different but equally is delicious

[@guilhermesimoes4932]

how i see this 2:30 nice pause 3:07 1..2..3..4.. 4:54 nice pause again ( and lets trip) 5:20 nice bass line 5:42 guitar + tremolo =

[@jamesmurphy7507]

Nailed it. This recording is such a gem. Band is tight, desk is tighter.

[@donna25871]

I seriously think these guys play paper scissors rock to work out who plays what instrument. Or do they lay them out and the first one you grab is the instrument you play?

[@michaelseymour3534]

Called musicianship.

[@bigidiothead]

Its refreshing, right? =] Fucking love 'em

[@josacarmona9487]

Lyrics: Every day I wake, physically weaker than before In my growing mind, the dreams I've left behind, the sign that there was more Blackness it awaits, slumber hits the rain outside my window Can I get it back, what can I do to get them back inside? Into the delay, the sounds don't carry on into the graves In my growing mind, the parts I realise are all collective thoughts Blackness it awaits, slumber hits the rain outside my window Can I get it back, what can I do to get them back inside?

[@eliascoldplay]

Cam is a beast as drummer

[@sgbskates]

This just blew my mind.

[@Chames_Chaikowski]

This is definitely a righteous tune !! They've got a new fan here, their whole performance was tight as shit. This radio station is awesome, I wish they had shit like this in Florida.

[@wpwpwpwpwpwpwpwpwpwa]

Waou! I just discovered this band this morning. The day starts well!

[@Ivelostmyway42]

i've listened to many songs but this is one of my favourite ever

[@coldacre]

there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Pond are the best band on the planet right now. NOW. this is utter genius. and as great as Tame are.... they don't cook as a live band in the same way Pond do.

[@salo7227]

Yep, I'd have to go close to agreeing with you. They are just an incredible band live. The psychedelic space-funk really comes to the fore and they just get the crowd going like no one else can. Such pure musicians.

[@macpaz]

salo7227 They only have one song. It's this one.

[@HUNFalcon]

what do you mean? they have a lot of great songs.

[@macpaz]

Istvan H Name three as good as this one

[@HUNFalcon]

Phil Tes does it matter to you if you have a different taste? But fine, there are three of them: Frond, The Weather, Medicine Hat.

[@SandroTavartkiladze]

Everyday I wake physically weaker than before in my growing mind dreams have left behind a sign that there was more colourless and vague thoughts, they slip away with the daylight can I get them back? what can I do to get them back inside? I'm speechless

[@jennifvckk]

this song and video never fails to make me go "what the fuck how is this even fucking POSSIBLE"

[@elderchildren]

they need to bring this back to the live sets.

[@mo0dyy]

I saw them live in Amsterdam last year (october 2019) and they played it :) it was brilliant!! Very refreshing to hear some of the older stuff.

[@leonardjulius6098]

Ok but how about now. Idgaf how ahead of your time you were, how do we get this back now

[@spacebusdriver]

we need a pond live album

[@rhyeshedden7826]

they were making one, but their sound guy's laptop with all the recordings was stolen :(

[@LanceVanceDance84]

@@rhyeshedden7826 Seriously? What a fucking bummer. I saw them last year and they blew me away. Best performers I've ever seen live.

[@rhyeshedden7826]

@@LanceVanceDance84 Yeah I know, was pretty gutted when I found out. I'm seeing them in Melbourne in a month, keen as a bean

[@LanceVanceDance84]

@@rhyeshedden7826 Well, maybe someday they'll decide to try again. They're too good not to have at least one live album, especially when they're in their prime. Anyway, hope you enjoy the show. Seeing them live was like a religious experience for me lol.

[@rhyeshedden7826]

@@LanceVanceDance84 hopefully. And yeah, it's definitely going to be great

[@samdelaney9577]

just wow.....never stop guys, please.

[@marinho018]

Thank you for existing! Cheers!

[@Ivelostmyway42]

There is something about this song, it has all the nature on it. It's like some kind of millenarium sound that existed since the beginning of the world and they made it a song. So amazing. And if you look at the sky and the movement of the trees you'll see the song on its essence, it means movement really. oh god pond is amazing.

[@josephconyer2421]

This is a sneak up on you good song. All of a sudden, you’re just down with it.

[@manro8]

this needs to be re- released how great is this live!

[@Kenchy1010]

I hear you man, best thing to happen to the Aussie music scene in a LONG time

[@tulkuwithattitude93]

Yeah man I saw them live and they went off one of the best performances I have ever been to. Their was something about seeing them effortlessly recreate the songs live and adding to them with live improvs. They were all the funniest performers pretending to be rockstars then just being plan silly throwing them selves around the place cracking jokes. They jammed out so hard best stage performance and they still looked so smooth and cool. I met the curly haired guitarist nicest dude. Go see live!

[@aluxaltotech4262]

I love it ! mexico waits for you pond

[@jowellsmedia]

My God. JAY you beautiful man.

[@lolazo1020]

those aditional 30 seconds at the end shitttttttttttt, eargasmmm

[@kurtduvel4345]

*pantsless and crying*

[@salo7227]

Just got back from seeing these guys live. Wow! Just pure musicians that love to have fun. Their first couple of tracks were a bit sloppy but then they got it together and just went off! Amazing band.

[@TheRaspaCalos]

kexp has the best live concerts

[@thierrysiemons]

The drummer enhances the sound so radical with his hat jammin plays during Pond's kickass climaxes..

[@thecitizenjoan]

sick,sick,sick.Absolutely incredible. I Must see them live!

[@Hemimod]

100%! The jam portion is epic. Love the stellar bass work.

[@Scoob505]

They should! They make me proud to listen to good music!

[@rippy4freedom499]

Ya I am older, but this brings me back to The Band psychedelic days... Thanks boyzzzz

[@Quarion32]

Woah! 4:53

[@makkietakkie]

Pond's lineup is getting the best of me...

[@traffic2678]

Oh god !! All time fav

[@jayclops]

this is my fave from the album as well.

[@MARTREI1]

I just love to groove on this song everytime I smoke a joint. Awesome!

[@alex9949]

fucking amazing my band doesnt like pond but has me singing maroon 5, when we could be doing this goddamit

[@adamdekleer2359]

Alex Berghuis Is being in a band really so important that you let yourself be in a band that covers Maroon 5?

[@alex9949]

Adam Dekleer I compromise with maroon 5 so that one day I can force them to do this song Not a lot of bands in my city

[@StSpeer]

Alex Berghuis haha arme jij....

[@salo7227]

Alex Berghuis Time to find a new band Alex!

[@alex9949]

salo7227 haha I did Should've known it wouldnt work out the day they suggested I sing adam lambert kms

[@Scoob505]

Their guitarist is from my province in Ireland!

[@stillh8ing407]

Nick forget and sung wrong the first part of the song thats why they laugh at 2:18 PD: sorry for my english

[@apseudonym]

I couldn't not buy this album. It's amazing.

[@gokuxstyle]

Excelente! Con esta canción los conocí y son la raja !

[@CourtneyCasablancas]

I met them with 'you broke my cool' and then this one and oh my, theyre awesome

[@gokuxstyle]

Es bueno You Broke my Cool :D tambien Mystery de Pond. Escucha They Dated Steadily de Mink Mussel Creek, es filete :D

[@Aylin1Rock]

Can't wait to see you in CC MEXICO

[@lotusflours]

I am seriously tripping oh my god so ethereal I am dead

[@freeheelfreestyler]

This should be the version that's on their record. Eye Pattern Blindness, a product of KEXP Studios.

[@ddavidelacruz]

#POND It is a super extraordinary band 2020

[@nickmorante8903]

Absolutely massive

[@JoeNailRecordings]

I think I'd literally just explode if I was in that room with them

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

Fuck me these guys are unbelievable. Only just started listening to them but this song is my favourite so far. Fuck and every band they've made is bloody brilliant.

[@lolazo1020]

omg outstanding performance and awesome song, fucking amazing

[@alexandranicole9117]

looove

[@VxDRAGONSLAYERxV]

I prefer this live stuff over the album, so much more natural :)

[@perrillo5]

wtf this is really good

[@rosarico8236]

Heaven 🥁🎸❤

[@softteu]

A melhor deles

[@Esoapjeong]

Brilliant guys

[@eric7922]

I really dig these cats...they capture a 70s groove like no other and make it fresh and relevant for today. some of the new shit out there has "too many notes" to coin a phrase... not pond though...nothing over done here, nothing over cooked, just really nice, a real sense of what belongs with a splash of cognac.

[@tulkuwithattitude93]

Definitely worth a good rock out dude highly recomended

[@matty37676]

This is fucking insane.

[@wecna]

Jay Watson at 5:25 so hilarious

[@brooksdurham8244]

bluebarracudasfolyfe he had the look of like “well hell guess I’ll just go with it” 😂

[@freeheelfreestyler]

90's Pond was grunge shit. This is psychedelic brilliance.

[@LiamJosephine]

yeah I really want to see them live, it seems like it would be a beast show. And you met that guitarist? I hate you ahaha. When they come to DC I will definitely check that out

[@omerhaber6790]

RARE!

[@Ivelostmyway42]

The best thing about this is that when I wrote it I wasn't high.

[@adamaustin3064]

And breathe.... F*, ing ell, epic.

killer!

This is better than any TI song!

This shit makes me wanna get drunk

[@andredias241]

02:30 man,thats insane

[@zogrush]

3:08 haha nicks face, ow oh i think we just made a hole within space itself!

[@manualvarado2212]

What is the model of the white guitar? The one Jay Watson is playing. I love it so much.

[@connormain1868]

J Mascis (dinosaur Jr) signature jazzmaster :) it's the same one Kevin borrows from Jay for some tame impala stuff live. Think he sticks a midi pickup on it

[@manualvarado2212]

Thank you so much Connor! I imagined it was the same Kevin uses, but it didn't have the fake eyes in the head here. Oh, that's great information, what does a midi pickup adds?

[@connormain1868]

Hah yeah I love the googly eyes, shame he took them off! Midi pickups basically take each string as a separate signal, and convert them to midi data. You can then run that into all-sorts - I believe Kevin has a Roland GR-55 guitar synth and some custom presets he uses to get the strange synthy sounds you hear all over Tame Impala's stuff - think the intro soloey bits to "Why dont you make up your mind" and "Alter Ego", that kind of stuff I think was done using these. Think the pickup itself that he uses is a Roland GK 3, although I could be wrong. Looks like a little black box on the lower strap button and a thin black bit of plastic between the bridge and the bridge pickup. Doesnt look like he has it on here though! Hope that helps :)

[@tedmoesby3884]

5:40 Anyone know how Jay get this sound?

[@NYESmusic]

Tremolo

[@tedmoesby3884]

Matt Koopman Thanks bro!

[@keremmadran]

could be a rotary speaker simulator tho

[@guilhermesimoes4932]

+Ted Moesby i think its tremolo

[@nicolezatkowski4429]

4:57 hits SO HARD LMAO

[@fantasypgatour]

That was fucking brain mashingly epic.

[@Akshobhoyo]

@2:18 Joe Ryan, literally laughing at how good he knows they are.

[@cesarespino7384]

Esto me hace muy feliz

[@AggressiveGold]

King Gizzard kinda sampled this on their new song Nuclear Fusion!!!!!!!

[@Evan95.]

Which part?

[@juniormemberfg]

It's as though they start with Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd to Live at Pompeii in one song...fucking awesome

[@coraliegardet5840]

wow
