MAGFest 2017: The Protomen

[@ironklaw]

MAGfest needs a new sound guy. That's... that's a pretty rough mix.

[@JerrySproingenstein]

Alex Mason there are like zero vocals in the mix

[@TheAaronGerenShow]

Right?!? There are recordings from phones on YT of these concerts that sound way better.

[@gregorygunn7508]

Check out their 2020 show. The sound is nearly perfect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoemlaWFhNOqkK8

[@RainbowKidDoesThings]

0:35 "HEY YANNOWUT FUCK THIS. NO. STAHP. STAHP. THIS IS BULLSHIT." The way KILROY says "stop" makes me die XD XD XD XD

[@Drouge87]

During that part where Gambler is offstage singing Hold Back The Night she ended up right in front of me and I just about died. What a fucking awesome concert.

[@SergioMendez369]

once again, microphones were too soft, instruments overpowered the vocals. Great show though, just wish I could hear them better

[@johnsledge3942]

Sergio Mendez Yeah, but it got better later in the performance though.

[@macrocosm2778]

Sergio Mendez who cares they rock

[@Astrosimi]

Enigma, that's exactly why they deserve a good mix!

[@LordLOC]

Their Queen covers are literally the best. And the new song sounds amazing. Love the ECW "HOLY SHIT" chants lol

[@thinredpaste]

I don't know if Maffew's panel or WWF No Mercy tournament got recorded or not, but it was a good Magfest to be a botchamania fan.

[@LordLOC]

thinredpaste Wait, Maffew had a fucking panel at MAGfest?? Holy shit I hope it gets posted here (or someplace else for that matter).

[@thinredpaste]

"Everything I needed to know about writing for videogames, I learned from booking in wrestling" or something like that. But it quickly became "Maffew drinks scotch and is funny af"

[@LordLOC]

Nice, sounds about right as well.

[@MoonMoondawoof]

Shit went till 4 in the morning

[@DIY_Miracle]

I swear Raul is just cyberpunk John Lennon.

[@TheRoleplayer40k]

There is a city that this darkness can't hide.

[@magfest]

Thank you, added.

[@onrubywings]

EchoFox "Kilroy's Surprise" XD

[@searchthenight]

The track at 24:30 has no officially announced title at this time

[@AtlasFox]

Basil Lynn Oh yeah, you're right, I forgot that's what I called it when I downloaded the first KZbin videos with the song and I named it so the filename had something. I did Google it at the time and I read they are considering that name for it, but yeah it's not official.

[@AtlasFox]

OOH 23:26 PANTHER AND COMMANDER DISCUSS WHAT SONG IS NEXT AND PANTHER SAYS "IT'S CALLING OUT" OOH GOT IT RIGHT MAYBE PROBABLY I GUESS PERHAPS

[@johnsledge3942]

Some day I'll see them live...

[@Crunkman2k]

Can speak from two different experiences that they are absolutely AMAZING live, especially since they play a lot of covers live that don't make it to albums.

[@jens9578]

It is AN experience. Just freaking amazing

[@KMarien]

This is the sassiest Vengeance and I love it.

[@PurpleMax]

Wow, the new song at 24 minutes is really good, now I can't wait to hear the album version !

[@Fouxjin]

The Hounds doesn't feel right without Turbo Lover's voice

[@AtlasFox]

This is a great quality recording of Calling Out (or whatever name they finally choose for it). Also I love the synth heavy intro to Light Up The Night that they always do live. Also, great performances all round. Particularly enjoyed In The Air Tonight, sounded very smooth, especially from Panther.

[@tabithadickerson2525]

God Gambler and Raul harmonise together so well.

[@benwilson1088]

In a world with so much darkness thank you for some light.

[@mofman1]

Love it, kinda feel like we're missing out on The Father Of Death without being able to hear the crowd though.

[@CoffeeinAmerica]

It's simply not fair that some are destined to be Protomen and not the rest of us!

[@zenorockbell3023]

I love the opening surprise. I feel so happy for this couple! They got to have a happy moment and then listen to kick ass music for awhile

[@onrubywings]

I'll always remember this as The Show That Tried to Kill Reanimator

[@demency2741]

Great show, aside from the technical hiccups, but man, I miss TURBO LOVERs performance as Wiley. :/

[@stardivinity4112]

haha the "holy shit"s and "everybody touch panther" still excited to see these guys this year

[@NytroDesigns]

It'd be cool if the Protocrew got this footage and the multitracks for this, a live DVD with proper mixing and everything would be awesome.

[@dionysusrose4909]

I was there and it was an amazing show. 10/10 thank you for introducing me to this amazing band Magfest.

[@GameShowManOne]

Ridonkulous. Not the same as actually being there, but it still is awesome to see. If you have the chance to see the Protomen live...GO SEE THEM. You won't regret it.

[@TheFlipside]

The new Act 3 song, Calling Out, oh my god it's amazing! I'm so hyped for Act 3! It's like it's 2009 all over again!

[@AzrenSA]

The first 2 minutes or so was amazingly cool.

[@s3fruit969]

still waiting for act 3

[@TRIedge369]

10/10 would see you guys at magfest again

[@cogitoergosum4736]

I have always the tendency to push a like at every song but I can do only one :)

[@BuddhatheRock]

I generally prefer original versions over covers, but damn it, this version of "In the Air Tonight" has so much emotion behind it. The album version blows me away and this one was so cool to watch. Phil Collins is amazing, but... I... I think I like this one better.

[@Astrosimi]

They throw in some chord changes at the end that don't exist in the original, really gives it some oomph.

[@IanUnderwood1974]

This set came out fantastic!

[@lebowskiunderachiever3591]

420 likes , just sayin' .... Anyway, back to this ... AWESOME . Revisiting this great video because I have recommended it so many times to so many people . and again today

[@auriculardiscovery]

I finally flew out to MAGfest last year and you guys skipped that year. Broke me...

[@onrubywings]

Mozgus They tend to do it every other year

[@ViRoGmR]

This was such a good show to see live.

[@eckitronix]

The best surprise I'm sure! FANTASTIC way to start this year off!!

[@d084466]

Thank you for this, MAGFest. There's only one of me and I cannot do all the things. Also, I'm curious if the sound in person was anywhere near as good as it is in the video? I couldn't watch them the last time I tried @ the event because I couldn't hear any of the vocals of the rest of the music, and the story is kind of important. But *this*? This sounds great!

[@IanUnderwood1974]

Kimberly Detro I'm glad you liked it. This was one of the most challenging live streams MediaTron did over the whole festival, from an audio perspective.

[@Psychotria]

I was there and it was really, REALLY bass heavy. All I could really hear was the bas and the drums.

[@onrubywings]

Kimberly Detro It was pretty hard to hear Panther sometimes, but the instrumentals were incredible. Thanks so much for this

[@tabithadickerson2525]

actually just from this video I can tell it was very bass heavy.

[@dorkandproudofit]

Same here. Surprising considering the act before them sounded perfectly fine.

[@missatralissa]

My only wish is to see them live. I really hope they come out to Southern California this year.

[@CallumKennedyTuberzMcGeeMusic]

That finale to Unrest gave me goosebumps. Holy sweet jesus.

[@Kurapika123]

This version of Unrest in the House of life is so good,,, I love this band

[@FavaMamaaaaa]

Damn I miss turbo lover

[@MarreLirre]

Which one is that?

[@FavaMamaaaaa]

he used to be wily

[@Jacksmusicshack]

silly protomen...you guys played unrest before! not the first time!!

[@deltad3592]

I really hope these guys come to montreal

[@EdventureChannel]

I DON'T WANT STUDIO VERSION OF CALLING OUT I JUST WANT ACT III PROTOMEN PLEASE

[@Jawa_Joose]

Hey will you be uploading The OneUps? Their set was amazing.

[@nuruddinshah684]

T.T (Fistbump to the air) That was one hell of a intro

[@arcadia713]

Now I gotta see them live

[@alandunaway3000]

Please come to BGS 2018!!!

[@micy7182]

I wish I were there :'c

[@tabithadickerson2525]

Maybe I'll get to see them one day.

[@ebslater29]

Why are the vocals ALWAYS too low, Bass overpowered? I love the band but have never had the opportunity to see them live. Is the sound just as unbalanced live? the best audio of a live recording performance of theirs is from PAX East 2013. Every other live recording, the audio is horrible.

[@healingv1sion]

Fuuuuuuck I don't like marriage but some marry me at a Protomen concert

[@Coolio_Ash]

A FUCKING MEN that was such a great proposal

[@WorldMind]

The Drummer was super pissed about something at the start.

[@NathanaelFosaaen]

It seems like ol Panther is starting to lose that Geddy Lee part of his vocal range.

[@IAmDeafSoGiveMeADola]

Kazuhira Miller lookalike @ 24:30

[@raffiavedissian8425]

Rip turbo lover 😕

[@JonahUniverse]

Why can't sound people ever turn the vocals to an appropriate volume? When I saw them in Nashville for the Light Up The Night short film showing, they performed and it sounded AWFUL, even though they played just fine.

[@AriGriffin243]

What is someone in the crowd yelling at 23:45?

[@greatsg5021]

I was yelling "Everybody touch Panther!" It was a hold over from something a friend of mine yelled at both Panther and Commander at a show back in 2015 at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC.

[@IAmBitfrost]

"Everybody ____ Panther!" Couldn't make out the middle word

[@AriGriffin243]

GreatSG Thanks. I was wondering what it was because of Panther's reaction. I hope they will come back to NC soon so I can see them live. I'm in the Fayetteville area.

[@jamesfarmer6878]

The bass was too loud

[@frankhughes7053]

WillbuyExpiredJello bite your tongue heathen

[@bongobongo985]

Styx666 solo at 44:59

[@RokkuDarius]

24:07 ho-ly-shit!

[@Krageesh]

Mux sounds absolutely awful, but... This is like Meat Loaf on steroids, very cool!

[@healingv1sion]

IS CALLING OUT NEW?? FUCK ME

[@Afro_Matt]

Honestly they need to just stop doing The Hounds. I love the protomen and I have for many years but please just stop.

[@Bahamut4life]

I love the song it just sounds weird without Turbo Lover, I'd hate to not hear it again, but if they did stop I would agree, and hope they put in The Stand (Man vs Machine) in it's place

[@TheGalamoth]
