Lightning Bolt "Dracula Mountain" @ First Unitarian Church Philadelphia 5/14/2015

[@PineappleStickers]

I Love how right at the start Brian drops his stick and just keeps trying to use the force until some guy picks it up for him

[@edwardfowler6663]

+Jaben Betz he's motioning at it to get someone to pick it up hahaha

It always blows my mind how frantically they both play their instruments while remaining so incredibly synchronised. They must know each other extremely well!

[@NyqWill95]

They’ve been doing this since 1994. They’re basically pros at it

@@NyqWill95 yeahh I really hope to see them live one day but they rarely come to the UK these days (understandably)

I like the crowd dynamics. Brian: *drums* Crowd: *silent* Brian: See you in the eveNING! Crowd: *freaks out*

[@hldr4345]

Brian gets all the attention, and the bassist is just "ok, I'm right here guys, I'm here"

[@seyedoo]

This is funny, because both of them are Brian.

[@isaacwilliams9919]

Brian is simutainously being filmed and not filmed

[@vb2388]

I think Gibson doesn’t like the attention much as well…so I think its fine..

Lightning Bolt is hands down the best live act I've seen in person.

[@sammelchi]

i need to see them live. i need to feel that bass in my bones

Honestly the most euphoria I've ever felt at a live show. Hope you get to experience that!

HOLY SHIT just randomly found this video and now i am a fan lol

[@noodles41]

this is a touch better than any church ive ever been to

[@terminaldeity]

The First Unitarian Church is the best venue on the east coast and possibly the entire country. You can't change my mind.

[@WhiskeyPieSometimes]

Love when noise/experimental people rock tie dye. Throbbing Gristle alone taught us that psychedelic drugs and crazy, sinister music go together.

[@HRDixie11]

I remember seeing Lightning Bolt at Fire House 13 before they had a stage back in 2010. The venue was very small but EVERYONE from Providence came out to see them. The mosh was absolutely brutal, people were literally falling onto the drummers set and they had to stop a few times just back the crowd up! What a insane show and band nothing like it!

[@SantanaMinusSantana]

Hands down best bolt show I've ever seen. The pure energy within the room was intoxicating. What a performance! Btw, I'm legit right in front on you, I remember your go pro taping that song haha, I was wearing the Kanye west yeezus shirt. Thank you so much for this video!

[@cablevamp3163]

I've seen Lightning Bolt once and this song is one of the most apeshit experiences I've had in my life. I was insanely drunk and wore myself to a pulp to this because I knew every part. I was in sync with this.

[@dighawaii1]

@@dakotakeller1606 it is subjectively bad in every measurable sense. It lacks art, it lacks finesse, it lacks any of the qualities that "good music" has ever had. Maybe a bad acid trip is the one thing it is good at conjuring.

[@basszille]

@@dighawaii1 Bruh... Really? It may be not your kind of music, which is fine, but from an artistic standpoint this is top notch! It's planned out chaos. These two are more accurate than a fuckin clockwork. Also the bass player worked on Guitar Hero and was responsible for the music and art in the video game Thumper. And both Brian's have musical backgrounds.

[@dighawaii1]

@@basszille it's flat, without dynamics, and the fact that there's a bass guitar playing makes it no better. it's garbage in every sense of the word.
