Meshuggah - Live at MGM Music Hall at Fenway - Boston, MA, USA - 12/9/23

Playing *Humilitave > Future Breed Machine > Bleed* is the ultimate *G.O.A.T. FLEX!!*

This has to be one of the greatest Meshuggah live concert videos EVER recorded. The fidelity is perfect. The video quality, the frame rate, the positioning, the sound... As a superfan of meshuggah, I cannot thank you enough for posting this!!!

[@amrarchives]

Wow, thank you!

[@BenMoon-zv2gq]

This is awesome mate for sure but there live performance at Bloodstock is definitely their best to date, check it out!

[@daviddevilliers2828]

Listen to bloodstock fest, the sound is incredible

[@levelont5560]

Absolutely. This is wonderful. Props to the recorder, you've made our lives better. The excitement to soon see 'em live increases! @TylerNassiri: in case you haven't: check out The Ophidian Trek. I don't mean to compare, I just want to share: the sound and production of that recording... ✊🏽

[@craftyangler97]

@@BenMoon-zv2gq They`re both good imo. Bass is really good on this one, but jens and guitars come through better for me on Bloodstock recording. Both great to listen to as a Meshuggah fan.

[@CinnamonGrrlJ]

Dragged my boyfriend to this show as we were just getting over being sick. We seriously debated not going and just eating the ticket price, but.... holy shit. It was the best show we have seen in years, and we go to a ton of shows. Saw them on a Tool tour like 20 years ago, but this is a whole other level. Will never miss another. 33 🤘

[@Lolaandcassidyadventures]

Saw them open for tool 2002 epic! Just saw them again last year it was incredible!

[@yamimage1046]

I was there I still can’t believe how amazing they were, I mean I already knew how good they are but from the production to the sound it was just an experience of a master class live hahah unreal

[@ericwilliams2137]

Playing Bleed at the end of a set is crazy. The stamina they have is jaw dropping.

[@lilly8958]

especially because they didnt play it for most (or all?) of the last two years afaik. they didnt play it on the 2 europe stops i saw them on.

[@Sasquatch33]

​@@lilly8958 they haven't played it since 2019

[@TheGreenCumulon]

@@Sasquatch33 My friend and I flipped the fuck out in Vancouver when they pulled out Bleed and Demiurge.

[@sadpotato7029]

@@Sasquatch33 iirc i heard haake recently had problems with his leg or foot idk so they had to pull bleed off the playlist coz it was too much for him. then around when fredrik was doing his side project, they also had multiple problem playing bleed coz according to some, his temporary replacement somehow messes up the brrrtatabrrrtata riff of 2nd verse from time to time, not always tho

[@rhino202]

Bleed is insane. It is far from one of their best songs, but pulling it out and playing it night in and night out at the END of a set like this is crazy

[@bgLittleNeck]

That Fredrik Thordendal can basically freestyle and improvise on these songs is very godly of him.

[@muffmuff3631]

Holy shit the light tech had alotta fun with Humiliative

[@thesloppyjoes]

There is a video out there of how they script the lights. Was pretty cool seeing it.

[@lifemusiclive.]

[@DFCZE]

@@thesloppyjoesYeah, software does that mostly these days.

[@Sicel1304]

"Rational Gaze" just comes in like a kick in the face during this set. I love it.

[@kennynator8038]

This is exactly what i thought. I saw them live in may in Germany and Broken Cog is just a great heavy opener in my opinion. Right after that song was over I looked at my brother (who didn't really know what he was in for) and boom, the Rational Gaze pull-off of doom on the F String hit like a wrecking ball and the whole crowd went absolutely nuts. They really are one of a kind. Edit: Perpetual Black Second right after that was the ultimate finisher. If they had ended the concert after just these three songs, I would've gone home happy lol.

[@excxmoody]

I get the biggest smile when I hear that song.

[@Sicel1304]

​@@kennynator8038I still need to see them live. I'm so angry with myself for not traveling to see them during their last US tour.

[@bnine6669]

@@Sicel1304same as me, been a fan for 20+ years and I have yet to see them live 😢 I’ve wanted to eat a bunch of acid before a show like this one for years, I remember getting stoned listening to them in HS thinking they were so incredible that my brain was melting lol primus on acid was a ridiculously fun experience and phenomenal performance but this is on a different level

[@Weeping_Somnambulist]

It was so awesome to see them play Humiliative live. That song is almost 30 yrs old and None EP is almost forgotten about. Part of Meshuggah lore. When they were still building and refining their sound. Song still sounds fresh today.

[@samulation5047]

[@stevebanning902]

This lighting guy deserves as much as the band members LMAO

[@nolifebr]

He still accompanies the band live but I believe that the entire lighting system is pre-programmed using MIDI with the band using in-year clicks to know the right time to enter each song. Still an impressive piece of work, tho

[@TunnelJumper]

I've seen them in Toronto a bunch of times, at Bonnaroo, in Calgary and in Boston and by far, Boston knew their lyrics and sang along the loudest!

[@tonitapia89]

This has got to be the best full set recording I've seen from the whole tour, definitely gonna be putting this one on rotation A LOT at home. Respect. P.S.: I'm quite jealous that they played future breed machine... they didn't play that one on the San Diego date of the tour.

[@amrarchives]

Enjoy!

[@dredgmo]

I THINK this is the first tour they've played it.

[@Lord_Raptor]

I would absolutely lose my shit if they played just one song from their first album.

[@bhfromnh3914]

I was there. You can hear me just to your left during the encore yelling “Meshuggah! Meshuggah!” Fucking amazing show! Thank you for capturing it all! Tomas Haake is the GOAT

Thank you Meshuggah. My wife isn't a huge metal fan and she left this show instantly hooked on what you guys do for us. Thank you Meshuggah and crew for bringing the PAIN! Could chew on the danger in the air.

Humiliative is such a beast of a song. It sounds so frikkin massive here. 53:30 and onwards is just a syncopated chugfest. Chaos and precision in perfect harmony.

[@zagadape109]

Freds Bleed solo is fantastic. It's so good he's back. Pozdro666

[@manifestgtr]

OH MY GOD…they played humiliative! I almost lost my mind when that squeak happened in the beginning. I feel like they play stuff from contradictions so infrequently which is a shame because that’s one of my favorite albums of theirs. Sepultura on angel dust…

[@TemalCageman]

Humiliative was not on Contradictions, but on None, the mini-cd they released in 1994. Contradictions was released in 1991.

Thanx for uploading and very great filmed! This concert is way beyond amazing, and the light show is by far the best I’ve seen. I well do remember the first time I saw Meshuggah live at a small club in Stockholm back in 1998. This is like from an own galaxy!

Thanks for the upload. I saw them last night in Bethlehem PA. The edibles hit just right and I was grooving too hard to record anything. Really happy to see Bleed live. I became a fan during the pandemic so last year I didn't hear them play it. Was sick to hear Humiliative and Perpetual Black Second too, two tracks I really like that don't get played a lot live

[@bryansmith7758]

love thordendal's playing so much. he never does cliche licks, his playing always fits the song, in some ways it can be minimalistic, like his first solo in bleed is just 2 notes. such an awesome player. wish i had learned from him when i started first playing guitar.

6 days after I saw them in MI. I wish they would film each show for the entire tour and sell it as part of a ticket package or something.
