[@mmcpa]

I apologize for the audio quality. It's decent for a phone, but still. I don't have the software to edit the audio portion of the video.

[@johnbrownspiers8242]

Dude absolutely no need to apologize, this whole thing fuckin rips

[@BearsDenOneinVain]

I cant get my footage off my phone with "onedrive". I'm glad you posted this. Thank You!

[@mmcpa]

@@johnbrownspiers8242 Thank you

[@NooDLES411911]

I have the same phone. Everyone that I show my concert videos to always says the audio is really good for a phone. The folks over at Samsung know what they're doing.

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

It sounds perfect......thats the glory of it.......We get to hear the massiveness of the natural sound......Great job.

[@LucasDo-iy9ju]

Jen's vocals are on another level these days

[@deathmusic7120]

And he’s 57

[@JohnCrichton]

Dude was just thinking that, damn he's been doing it a while. some peoples voices burn out

[@SidewalksandSkeletons]

1:00:00 this moment KILLS every single time, just unreal

[@mmcpa]

Such a hard drop

[@GabrielGarcia-300]

​@mmcpa even just before that when the green lights were on. I was on theright side VP side of the balcony with the tables. Nobody occupied it, so I did. Came from Maine to see them. I fell in love with them in 2010 in Alaska, so I didn't get to see them until now, and they're my top favorite band. Not too many bands go to Alaska

[@stonehenge55]

Oh yes usually the closing going apesh!t song Future Breed Machine. I've been seeing them live maybe 7 or 8 times since 2003

[@markwyman6753]

34:28 such a ridiculous solo. Close Encounters of the Third Kind vibes. The precision and musical knowledge is there, but its a baseline vocabulary establishing an alien percussive element. \m/ \m/ Another small example of the backing-riffs being more complex than the guitar solo itself (Ex. Entrapment)~

[@NooDLES411911]

This band is fucking incredible live. Dont think ive ever seen a more powerful onslaught of metal mayhem. Closest thing is Gojira. They've gotta be the 2 best live metal bands on the planet right now.

[@robnorwood3591]

Agreed. I've been saying that for years.

[@brandonpaice4528]

Totally having seen both aswell over here In the UK live metal really doesn't get any better than meshuggah and gojira

[@AidenCantrell]

Top 3 live bands for me are Meshuggah, Gojira, Periphery.

[@nkasdu]

What gojira's song do you recommend to listen to a meshuggah fan? I listended couple of tracks but wasn't really fascinated somehow. Probably I picked up wrong songs

[@nkasdu]

[@roseredflechette-vidya]

43:40 OH. MY. GOD. I've never gotten to hear Fred actually solo here, usually he just holds a few notes and bends them (on the album there's _definitely_ a solo there, its just lower in the mix. Nobody even bothers to include it in guitar tabs for the song). It always struck me as weird, awkward even, cause I never understood why no one not even the band acknowledges that solo lol. But hearing it here... mind=blown.

[@ericwilliams2137]

thanks for sharing. was my first time seeing them and a true holy fucking shit experience

[@mmcpa]

That's an understatement 😅.

[@TheRozzleNozzle]

Been seeing them for 15 years. Honestly, never changed

[@mmcpa]

@@TheRozzleNozzle They've aged well, REAL well!!

[@robnorwood3591]

​@@TheRozzleNozzleI saw them open for SLAYER in 99. They have been blowing my mind since that night.

[@4-saken]

Meshuggah are to djent what Metallica were to thrash. Saw them in Wisconsin and already thinking of when I can go again. My dream concert: Metallica/Meshuggah/Gojira in a football stadium. Just imagine the light show.

[@mmcpa]

The light show coupled with the music was siiiick. The difference between Metallica and Meshuggah is Metallica plays thrash where there are many comparable bands, and Djent or whatever, there is no other band like Meshuggah. At least, that's my opinion.

[@NooDLES411911]

My dream show would be Tool, Gojira and Meshuggah. The holy trinity of insane live shows.

[@mmcpa]

@@NooDLES411911 Like I said in the description, the only time I ever saw them previously was 21 years ago when they opened for Tool. It was hilarious as it was mainly a Tool crowd. By the end of their set, people were still filing in to see Tool. The ones that were there at the end (maybe 60% full) stood up and clapped, but a majority of them I could tell had no idea what they had just listened to.😂

[@adamantiumrage]

Went to the Wallingford, CT show. Truly insane. They've never disappointed

[@Chris-zi6ki]

Yo me too bro! 🔥🤘

[@METALALEX211]

I was there flew from Orlando fl for this totally worth it

[@chefmarv6499]

Good footage. Saw them in Montreal, it was probably the best concert in a long time, sound was loud yet no need for ear plugs. My ears didn't even buzz the next day. They were on fire! 👌🏻

[@robnorwood3591]

They have it all dialed in like nobody else.

[@calebbernstein5163]

Saw them Bethlehem PA same tour, rode the rail the entire show.. No words. Like being sucked into a black hole and disintegrating. Really can't believe they do what they do live. It's almost impossible. Almost..

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

I find it funny that Jens makes sure he doesnt say...."I like Juice...." during Rational Gaze......He really annuniciates that part since the meme.....Love these guys!

[@NooDLES411911]

Born in dissonance is an ear worm i cant get out of my head since last night. Mind blown.

[@culldera1]

Thanks for posting this! Saw them in MI Dec 3rd. They’re so heavy live it’s unreal. Their sound is like, threatening. My wife said it felt like her body was going to have a danger response 😂

[@papabutter21]

Was right up front for this first time seeing them and was absolutely blown away

[@senseicorey9979]

Thanks for posting

[@atomdragon]

It was a great show. The audio sounds great! I remember old concert phone audio and how bad it used to be.

[@PlayToDie]

THAT note at 48:21

[@kylegross9923]

Or 10:32

[@Jumper76Anton]

It really speaks to the quality of their mix when this is actually so good to listen to recorded on a fucking phone lmao

[@PSYk1ll4h]

Got in the pit a few times during that show. It was epic!

[@Hyperoptix]

Dude, I still can't believe I was here. What a fucking incredible show

[@glovester]

Damn

[@KaylaCumbee]

All those phones man. Miss the days when you went and just watched the shows and not have to see a wall of phone screens. Can't even hardly take a dump now without a phone recording it 🤦 killer show though

[@mmcpa]

I agree. I only took this because I obstructed no one, and probably no one even noticed I recorded it.

[@Djcimofficial]

Saw them on Long Island, the stage wasn’t as big as this one so I think they cut back with some of the light production there. Regardless they were incredible as always. Great video!

[@markwyman6753]

33:42 such a ridiculous riff. I'm glad for how they've used technology to their songwriting advantage, as far as imposing math on riffs in a ridiculous way.

[@mmcpa]

This was THE song I wanted to see, and they f'ing killed it. The drop, out of the breakdown into the final section, hit hard!!!

[@markwyman6753]

@@mmcpa Hell yea~ I can honestly say every time they put out an album, I have at least 2 new favorite songs by them. They've only ever continued growing this whole time \m/ \m/ I was at this show and loved it so much I saw them a few days later in CT for my 10th time~ You killed it recording the video and keeping it continuous. Fred's solo game keeps evolving, and it's just a damn good show every time

[@mmcpa]

@markwyman6753 Thank you. I think it was a good video, so nice to be appreciated. The thing is, I recorded for 80 minutes having no idea what it would sound like.

[@markwyman6753]

@@mmcpa Good on ya for taking the leap of faith~ The audio is better than at least one other uploader of the same show~ Seems like you've got a proper balance across all frequencies here~ Congrats on the fine phone ;)

[@jayray4546]

I had to have been just a few rows of seats behind you at this tremedous show of brutal vertuosity! I have a vid on my channel of bleed from the encor. Keep keeping on 👍

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

Not only are they playing the bleed encore but theyre playing it at 115.....Instead of 110 on Ophidian Trek.

[@MLCrow]

I attended their show on the 6.6.2023. They teamed with Behemoth. I like Meshuggah but in small doses...when they finished I was exhausted. Some people went insane. LOL

[@mmcpa]

Their music is an acquired taste for the brain 😂

[@robnorwood3591]

I take a large dose every day.

[@JoseManuelOrtegadev]

the play of lights and the combination they make in each song is crazy

[@_FearNoEvil]

All the mindless drones with their phones out. How pathetic.

[@mmcpa]

The only reason I shot this was I was seated by a railing. No one even noticed I was recording.

[@garrusmandolin1362]

im still upset that Whitechapel only played 6 songs.

[@mmcpa]

I had never seen them live before, and I was disappointed in the length of all of the sets.

[@JTNat]

Was only a few rows behind you and got the same video. Always a fucking incredible performance \m/

[@mmcpa]

It was nice to have the railing in the box seat to rest the phone on. I balanced it with a finger for the most part instead of holding it the whole time so I could really watch the show. Amazing, better IMO than when I saw them 21 years ago.

[@JTNat]

@@mmcpa yeah I bet. I just wanted to get a seat right in the middle to see it all. This was my second time seeing them, but seeing them live at all is such an experience. Must’ve been sick seeing them 21 years ago that young. ‘02 I’m assuming then?

[@booly2459]

Tomas threw that last stick and the kid in front of me butter fingered it and I’ve never dropped to the floor quicker. What an unbelievable night, can’t wait for them to come back!

[@mmcpa]

Nice!!

[@nuuklier4090]

When they started to play rational gaze I lost my mind haha I loved being here

[@jakeparker6610]

Brilliant set, great to see Bleed back in there. And no matter how many times I see live clips of Future Breed Machine, that breakdown gets even more incredible

[@metalmadness9760]

Awesome video! Are you actually a CPA? I'm going to school for the same field

[@mmcpa]

Yup, metalhead CPA!!!

[@senseicorey9979]

Man...how many more times are we going to get to see these guys before they hang it up?

[@mmcpa]

These guys are still at the top of their game, unlike some other older bands who have toured recently where I think they should hang it up. 21 years since I saw them last, and they still kill it!!
