[@rubbersun857]

When you go to see king gizzard , it's not just a show, it's an experience, nothing else like it in the world. Absolutely unreal. Those 2 nights were easily the greatest nights of my life. I was in the front row, both shows. Now I'm all bruised up for being crushed against the railing. I was hit in the head at least 10 times by crowd surfers. Almost lost my wallet. So thrilled that I got to meet them and hang out with them after the second show, they were nice enough to sign my poster of stu. Coolest people you'd ever meet. We talked for about an hour before they had to leave for Boston. Thanks for these amazing 2 nights and the memories, had fun hanging with you guys. Waiting out in the cold windy rain for 3 1/2 hours was absolutely worth it. These boys are going to take over the fucking world, no doubt in my mind. Ill never forget this weekend, as long as I live. Till next time gizz

[@osirister]

Some people couldnt recognize the greatest psych band that has come in DECADES even if they were playing microtonal instruments at Webster Hall in front of their noses

[@tg4414]

Danny Mo I've also seen them live. They're pretty fucking good. Let's be real here.

[@TheFourthHouse]

they're a great band, but they recycle wayyy too much stuff for me to consider them the 'best psych band in decades'. still one of my favorite bands atm..

[@patrom0406]

explain your point Airik :)

[@osirister]

I think i see your point because they have similar songs (see cellophane rattlesnake) and they have used structures that a ton of musicians have (her and i, the river, god is in the rhythm) but even so once you hear their whole discography you see how fucking original they are. They're always exploring and tbh they just keep getting better, FMB has some of the most amazing songs that came this year, what we know from motu so far is fuckin epic, i think its good how much theyre growing because they work very hard, they gon go far

[@TheFourthHouse]

Yeah, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. The recycling doesn't kill the band for me by any means, and am enamoured by the fact that each of their albums is pretty much their own trip, that each album dips into its own genre, in a way. That is something I love about this band and gives me something to look forward too. FMB is my favorite album by them thus far, so I'm pretty excited to see what else they have in store for this year. MOTU sounds sick too, like it's going to be almost in the same vein as Nonagon maybe a little heavier and darker, to be honest digital black reminds me of some sabbath which is totally sick.

Awesome show. Joey's licks are the secret weapon. That and the probably the best bass in the business. Also Eric and Micheal on the drums, wtf. Then throw in some Ambrose and Cook like seasoned salt and then Stu conducting and driving...this band is off the hook. 2017 was a real treat for rock and roll as far as I'm concerned. That is all.

When the tripod-mounted camera on the dancefloor starts bouncing at 13:52 during Billabong Valley my eyes water at just how fucking awesome this band is and how much everyone is enjoying what they create. The smile on Ambrose's face tells me he can feel the vibrations through his feet. Best bit of the video. Watch from 13:28 to get the full effect. Amazing.

[@hfhdhdfbwilliams2407]

dude I've​ watched that part over and over since this came out and thought the same exact thing, very well said my friend ,that show was absolutely amazing and u could tell they were all having a blast on stage.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

That drop in Billabong Valley is something pretty sublime with the audience, incredible

[@makkietakkie]

well said

[@SuperSaltyFries]

I saw gizz live at Trees in Deep Ellum in 2017. I was in the front row, waiting for several hours, holding in a massive piss. While waiting for them to set up Stu asks me and my friends where we're from and has casual conversation with us, and even asks us what our band is called. He then set the Hagstrom 12 string in front of us leaning on the floor monitors. That day I got to touch that fucking guitar AND the microtonal flying banana. Now anytime I see it I think about the journey that guitar has been on and for that brief moment in time it met me. I love y'all, come back to Texas soon!

[@sweetsoul3145]

hey, are ya gonna go see them this week mister?!

[@thomasp961]

Part of me loves King Gizz because they're one of the best psych/prog/krauty bands in god knows how long. Part of me loves King Gizz because of how nerdy and dedicated their fan base is and the great relationship they have with the band.

[@tf8159]

Fanbase is very engaged, and clearly into alot of fun things outside of this band with all the content they come up with to show their love for King Gizzard and this kind of rock music

[@ampiere_]

That medley at the end is perfect. They really know how to control their dynamics.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Mitchell St. Pierre oh yeah and the river guitar solo both middle and ending ones

[@kylestyyle987]

It makes me so happy when a band actually dares to play with more dynamics than just loud all the time, especially at a live concert.

[@Stoneman180190]

Never knew Joey sang in Anoxia, he’s got a good voice. Sounded a lot like Stu in the studio version.

[@attilamarta2899]

[@enkiea8322]

Thanks KZbin. Instantly my new favorite band.

[@dreambreeder079]

I was at this concert and it was absolutely insane. I really didn't know what to expect, but what I didn't expect was the intense crowd that was literally beating the shit out of each other from beginning to end. It's weird because this video really doesn't show that at all, but it was intense. Anyways now I've come back to this video and rewatched the entire concert a few times, purchased a few of their albums and I'm purchasing more and I really can't stop listening to them. Crazy band, but really something incredible.
