That drummers stick control is killin me.... great playing

[@robertnazaretyan9010]

Rob Turner is a God of drums.

[@ignacio3092]

Favorite drummer. I hope he comes back to the band

[@anthonydavid6703]

I just wanna thank everything that happened in my life that lead to me finding this music.

[@dannixon247]

Dude, that makes me smile sooooo much. I shared this vid with like 20ppl who were like 'mehh'..... I'm with you!

[@roodsound]

Legend has it, the audience is still clapping...

[@geofftracy7205]

LMAO :)

[@KalvinMauveMusic]

Thanks for making me laugh :)

[@onder6072]

The songs honestly sound better than the studio version here, it's mind boggling

[@AronJohnston]

Nothing better than discovering something amazing.

[@Ob1sdarkside]

Aron Johnston see them live if you get a chance, mind blown. Seeing them again

[@azabattle]

creating something amazing ;)

[@lcarthel]

Feeling this right now.

[@bravepart]

They're such an immensely professional and creative band, a rare breed of penguin indeed

[@zetetick395]

Thanks for the listing man - ALWAYS useful! :)

[@gregparrott]

ilCapotesta Thanks for posting. This really should have been included in the publisher's comments, or at least have your post 'pinned' to the front.

[@conraddean6510]

They really do sound just as good live as they do on record. Increadible band!

[@stanleywilliamsbigdreams7867]

As a musician I aspire to being this swept away, so that people can ride along with me. This is magic. These guys take you galaxy hopping. It is almost an insult to stop at how technically good they are cause they go soul deep.

[@bartpickford1836]

The textures these 3 create are insane. Robs percussion has the ability to drive, lift and sprinkle magic into the music, as a whole. Heavenly

[@120beers]

These guys play like they've been at it for 40 yrs. Total professionals.

[@TheOriginalEntz]

Yeah. Usually I only hear this level from grey-haired musicians. Young men have skill but the arrangement of this is so ... they are not playing from recently learned theory knowledge but playing from what an old soul wants to feel. A different approach (not that they don't work with theory like everyone else as well :P )

[@AllIn1Studio]

I hear early classical piano training and if you listen to all different cultural music in compound time signatures like 7/4 12/8 you get these kind of creative ideas! Cool.

[@bazjaddley6369]

The tone on that bass is perfection!

[@vonoom]

Oh man. Protest (22:21) blows me away. There's something so emotive about it. It's got so much frustration and hope bundled together, glued with anger and determination. It's like Rage Against the Machine, but in a version that even your grandmother might deem pleasing to listen to... and I definitely mean that as a compliment! Amazing musicians. You go, GoGo Penguin. Go do more of this.

[@witoldjanik]

@vonoom I've just thought about RATM too! Yeah. Such a great band. Go go, GoGo Penguin(s)! ;)

[@DerekPresti]

You hear that Korn Freak on a Leash reference in that melody?!

[@slowlearner984]

MONSTA bass line.

[@AdrianMartinez-kv7qx]

i came here for this comment, man, soooooo goood, a true masterpiece that rythm

[@sidj9952]

absolute gem thats a masterpiece

[@BGMRelaxingMusicStudio]

doubting that anyone would see this, but keep going. you're doing great ヅ

[@lollinandbawlin]

If these guys played a concert with The Bad Plus, the world would implode.

[@kawabungadad8945]

This band is this good all of the time. If you have the chance to see them live, don't miss it.

[@AnDoKo93]

So true ! Saw them 3 times and ... WoW !

[@becauseisaac]

Drummer lays it down with the breakbeat there! Great touch. Love it.

[@alexhook6771]

I read Penguin, I click. I hear amazing music, I stay. I'm a simple man.

[@MiseFreisin]

This has very quickly become my go-to for background music. Sooooo good! Until I suddenly realise I've been watching the video too and neglecting whatever else I'm supposed to be doing.

[@InterpretingAesthetic]

You mean your GoGo-to for background music ;)

[@philipdecastro9684]

I love the way the drummer and pianist smile at each other at 11:07 knowing what they just did sounded amazing

That drummer is out of this world! So rad! Jesus

Every song was so incredibly unique, open and beautiful, unlike anything I've heard. Thank you!

[@martinscheffler8954]

baammm, what an ending of the last song. Absolute joy listening!!

[@RafaelZeratai]

only weird thing is people clapping 10 minutes straight at the beginning of the video

[@romainpavy]

first piano notes played, people calm down and shut up 1 time, obviously they waited for the master on the keyboard what an amazing group, so great to see them live, if you can one day, don't blink twice, just go !!!

[@justpettet3506]

right over the announcer was hilarious hahaa this is why brits need so many rules they are all autistic

[@dickiejazz]

@@justpettet3506 ReallY? Well apart from ridiculous exageration ad the crowds anticipation of seeing a great band live what can I say except you are a complete dick! As for the sick comments about nationality and incidious conditions my poit is proven. Dont know what yor nationality is but you are a fucking disgrace.

[@lupreable]

jesus christ, relax, it was 40 seconds... no need to get emotional over a stupid comment ment to be funny.

Reminded me of top of the pops all that clapping (showing my age there)

Gogo pinguin what a wonderfull band

[@Ob1sdarkside]

These guys are incredible, one of my all time favourite gigs in Dublin. Going again, can't wait. If you've neg voted, you've got no soul

[@osoialncuiq]

I love the bass playing. He is really good.

[@rodericktech5643]

There is, in fact, still real music being made. Always glad to rediscover that. Excellent work, guys - your records just went on my next-buy list.

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

For the past two weeks, this is my favourite band, my favourite youtube video. I love how their theme melody is being twisted, spinned, stretched and compressed by this or that instrument, but the magic is that in spite their juggling with music they always catch the melody back in their initial form, more beautiful and shining as ever before. I'm not a jazz fan, but this is just reaching my heart and make my soul to sing and body to dance. Bravo to you guys, I will buy your music gladly and thank you again!

[@frankfanacht1838]

EST meeting Billy Cobham! Unbelievable music!!

[@michaellwalker8748]

Came here because Tidal suggested y'all. Got damn! "Protest Live"!!!! I live for that fucking song!

[@Akkodha-]

Compared to most music nowadays,I 100% support this music over all other genre

[@ProckGnosis]

These guys rock! Just assumed they were at least using SOME loops, samples, or triggered clips the first time I heard them. Then I caught a video of them playing live...and I was simply blown away...

[@Fair-kaeuflichDe]

Saw you live in Darmstadt, Germany yesterday. One of the best gigs I have ever seen. So much dynamics and power in the music and the fine details have their place too. Great trio!

[@RobinThomsonMusician]

Shades of EST Very nice indeed

[@dennispremoli7950]

Seen them live yesterday and they had a whole different repertoire. Much stronger and epic and the build-up oh god! The bassist is incredible. His ability to solo for 4/5 non-stop playing it as a guitar is pretty much! The drummer is also really good. Epic night!!

[@hrotghar]

I really love the entire band, but the drummers control and touch is simply amazing. Hope they come to the Netherlands soon!

[@rajbroh4334]

Rick Derksen yess the drummer i guess listens to a lot of electronic and drum and bass music

[@rajbroh4334]

He plays a major role in “modernizing” the band’s music concept

[@jazzcrusader430]

They have been to the Netherlands! I think a year or 2 back, I saw them!

[@susanbracher1489]

I just saw them live, first time ever, here in Canada, with their new drummer. They're a different band...off course. They appear to be exploring more electronic sounds with the drummer banging away with very little subtlety, constantly filling the space, sounding more like a rock drummer, heavy on the bass drum...almost a constant competition to play the loudest. The sad thing is that the musicians don't seem to be aware of this. I am heartbroken that Rob Turner has left Go Go. There was no ego involved. Just superb technique wrapped in the delicate way that he felt every second of the music. Where's the organic connection between Go Go that created a seamless flow of magic with every note? I'll keep listening to the early concerts pre: Jon Scott ... loving every moment.

[@pievanian]

​@@susanbracher1489 Damn, I was at Montreal Jazz Fest in 2018 but didn't know about them at the time; wish had gotten to see with him. Going to have to look up what he's doing now

[@gustafsterne343]

It is so nice too see the bassist being the bandleader!
