[@jimybo20]

I looked to see if anyone had done this yet, and after 3 hours of the video being posted it’s done. Well done mate. Enjoy your upvotes.

[@tedrockwell]

It is interesting to note that the album lists 'Sleeper' as the name rather than 'And, Goodnight' (which is the name of the song on 'Freedom's Goblin')

[@antparkasp]

@@tedrockwell sleeper was the name on the acoustic album called "the keepers"

[@antparkasp]

@@tedrockwell also should add that the acoustic one came out first

[@kylebuckert]

@@antparkasp the acoustic album is called "Sleeper". "The Keepers" is a track off that album.

[@viniciusbazanella]

you can tell the guy on the rhodes is having a blast

[@rocketsalad]

Rhodes + overdriven stack = the Sound of The Gods

[@stereofidelic67]

I just wish Rick Beato would quit looking back to 90s Grunge and look foward to the cutting edge of what's cool in Rock today. This shit ain't quantised or auto-tuned Rick. Listen to this!

[@rocketsalad]

Beato don't know jack

[@jonborup83]

I agree, but I think Rick’s rebuttal would something like “it’s not mainstream enough from a commercial or radio friendly songwriting perspective to consider”. But I guess garage-psych-alt rock has always been under appreciated.

[@givinloosethegoose4648]

Highly derivative and boring. we've heard it all before. This is cookie-cutter retro-Rock. So what? This is so over.

[@nicholaswood3250]

​@@givinloosethegoose4648 It's just music, man. Chill out.

[@tylerthompson1842]

Not even. Looking back and appreciating grunge is great. But for him to be making any kind of videos bitching about how music sucks today when theirs stuff like this going on all around him is wild. Him and many ppl his age understand that things have changed, but they don’t understand how they’ve changed. All music is at your fingertips, you just have to put a little effort into finding the stuff you like. It’s not spoon fed to you anymore.

[@Strik9]

Holy mother of GOD!!! This off the fkn Richter!!!

[@rocketsalad]

New for 2022, The Fender Custom Shop ‘72 OCTO REVERB CUSTOM REISSUE 😆 (It’s just two Quads shipped in the same crate, but with the spring reverb swapped for a DSP and also a blue jewel instead of red 😭)

[@roxysciackitano1766]

It must be intentional because it looks as if they are playing inside of a mini Colosseum type thing

[@ChilledGreeses]

This is the shit that gets me through the day. Ty is from another planet

[@pineapplecircus]

Thats how I feel about bloodshot Bill & king khan in tandoori knights Curry Up, bloodshot Bill's 15 solo albums, bloodshot and shannon Shaw, Bloodshot Bill and Mark Sultan in The Ding-Dongs ,Mark Sultan's Sultanic Verses & $ albums, those blow my mind along with Mark Sultan/King Khan and The Black Lips as Almighty Defenders, shannon & the Clams, and especially cannot stop STILL listening to BLOOD VISIONS by Jay r.i.p. Reatard (James Lee Lindsey Jr) and his Angry Angles albums. He mustve known he had a short time with us as his body of work in over 9 bands in less than a 10 yr period is something to behold. Then theres Thee Oh Sees who've changed the name spelling each time theres a significant line up change. The OSEES are the closest to Ty's psych,keys,nuggets garage ,punk rock style ,vocal fx ,echo chambers and stylistically together that show would be too much lol. I thought Dinosaur Jr. Was loud but Osees are LOUD

[@elecelev]

he is David Bowie's brother

[@rocketsalad]

@@pineapplecircus John Dwyer ([Thee] Oh Sees) is an utter sociopath, a mad lad of the finest form, who plays through two Fender Dual Showman Reverb heads into two 2x15' cabs, with all the knobs pegged at 10. Total lunatic, aurally suicidal, and the loudest live band going, easy.

[@kcatsnave]

one of the coolest things about watching any iteration of ty's band play is seeing the cool vintage gear they use. these guys seemingly own hundreds of vintage and expensive amps

[@rocketsalad]

Love seeing Ampeg getting repped hard, and Ty's Super Reverbs (or are they Bassman 10's?) are very choice. Love me a Mustang more than anything, but ever since Ty switched to Travis Beans his wu-tang powers have increased ten thousand fold (he got GOODERER)

[@kcatsnave]

@@rocketsalad hella ampeg, also note the music man 65 on mikal’s bass rig - ty’s got super reverbs :-)

[@rocketsalad]

@@kcatsnave watched it again and finally caught a good look at the faceplates on Ty's amps - good eye! Even better eye on Mikal's MusicMan, which appears to be a cut-down HD 110 combo that's been head-ified! Stacked on top of a V-4[B] 😍 Oh yeah, a Rhodes. Ain't nothing wrong with that never.

[@kcatsnave]

@@rocketsalad truth!!! in another live video (Ty segall at KEXP) that rhodes is run through a traynor head and cab (iirc). they are always slipping out phenomenal gear pieces

[@rocketsalad]

@@kcatsnave just saw them play on Friday 6/25 and that Rhodes (and a Krumar electric piano, too) thru a Marshall FULL STACK was the cronchiest, most beautiful sound I've heard since I don't know when. Standing dead center behind the soundboard, that was the loudest show i've heard in my life. actually, probably the loudest _thing_ i've heard ever!

[@redlabfilms110]

Would be cool if they cut to the audio out in the rafters for a second. I'm sure this sounds epic from 200 ft away

[@ChadwickRider]

Nice set ... it's like Brian Jonestown Massacre and Thee Oh Sees had a sonic child named Ty Segall & Freedom Band.

[@rocketsalad]

On point comment 💯, but being a completely irredeemable a-hole must be a recessive genetic trait and thank god Ty didn’t get any of Anton’s personality passed along in that unholy union.

[@4e4a75]

What a show! Great music! Great musicians!

[@ATACTA]

After my intro to this guy, via 'Freedom's Goblin', I did a quick scan. He is in the line of genius.

[@danielcarter3928]

that was such a good version of Fanny Dog

[@rocketsalad]

The best, as close to seeing it played live as possible. Really brought the heat on this one 👍

really glad i saw ty during the slaughterhouse, melted, goodbye bread, reverse shark attack days. to me that is some of the greatest music ever recorded

[@youthinasia7519]

wish i could have seen him during those 2010-2013 years. amazing music he put out.

[@toadstool1679]

On god, man is on a different level

[@alleydash4340]

Totally agree! Ty came through Madison, WI twice in the summer of 2012. The first time was while his band was touring with White Fence for the Hair album, and the second was when they were touring with Thee Oh Sees to promote Slaughterhouse. Ty's band for both tours was Emily on drums, Mikal on bass and Charles on guitar. Every band killed it both times. Ty and his band signed my copy of Ty's Singles collection and talked to me for a bit. They were all really cool.

[@cynical8330]

I was 11 so I don't think I would have been that into it back then personally. Happy to be a fan now though, all that matters.

[@cherryaxiom9711]

Agreed however I didn't catch ty back in those days (was also a younger chap at the time, about 14-15 just getting into the music of Ty) but I more recently caught him during the double album tour performing both his latest record-First Taste-- along with Emotional Mugger and it was some firey shit they were jamming wicked heavy it rocked for a 1st time!

[@ninastone3659]

Absolutely fucking obsessed with this performance.

[@freedomson1]

Holy!! That was badass!

[@weedsandwhich420]

This set rips

[@MadMaxBS]

This is the magic lineup for me, all these guys have such great musical chemistry. Same band that was on his Freedom's Goblin and 2nd Self-titled records. Also on the live record Deforming Lobes which is also fantastic face melting live music. Ty Segall continues to be at the top of his game, I'd love to see him live in real life.

[@Boston84]

Exactly my thoughts. Mikal and Charlie are killing it on the rhythm section, and I’m not sure of the keyboardist’s name, but he’s awesome too. Of course Ty and Emett killing it as always. This lineup is perfect

[@Zappappappappa]

Sad that Charles is seemingly stepping away from music (not sure if it is a complete hiatus or what) and out of respect for his great friend Ty is officially retiring the Freedom Band moniker. Last couple shows for Ty with Freedom Band are coming up but I am so grateful to see the 3rd/4th to last performance of theirs in Detroit on the 6th but my god did their performance make the announcement more of a bummer than it already was. They were absolutely amazing and the complete rearranging of classic Ty songs was a blessing to witness 🙏

[@jonnywose2528]

I've watched this so many times now. It's like the ultimate music. Didn't see them last time they were in Manchester unfortunately. Struggle to find a better group of musicians out there

Ty is fucking sick, he's a shredator. Dangerous to the eardrums, even while they bleed you feel the need to turn it up! I love all the different formulaic styles each band takes in form as they shed another skin and formulate something new again,forever refreshing. Early on i thought his stuff was soft while listening to jay reatards blood visions but ive had my eye on him and w respected mikal cronin i keep being surprised by Ty! I must see him live now its the logical next step
