"But your kids gonna love it!"

Mi dad is 53, never knew bout shuggah, now the mtf understand what is heavy

[@Dan16673]

Remember this tour

[@bigmonk802]

You guys act like the 90s was a really long time ago. It wasn't. No knowledge has been gained.

[@brendamobley]

​@@bigmonk802Some people act like they were adults in the 90's and it's funny to those of us who were. We can spot you from space But anyway, I just recently found Meshuggah and miss that I didn't know about them before. I'm slightly older than Jens

[@FurnaceFuneral84]

I love how they play with so much energy back then like their career depended on it....and it payed off. Now they play like almost standing still with a different energy but it's still just as intense.

[@eduardoentr1]

Simply because they are old guys now. Backpains and so on…

[@FurnaceFuneral84]

@eduardoentr1 yah makes sense. Whether they're standing still or running around with their hair on fire it's all super intense either way though

[@Chronic_meshuggah_face]

I guess its natural for them ‘slowmotion down’ but now, them standing rather still - live - is way more menacing. Best band in the world, they’re goofy on their behind the scenes tapes; incredibly dedicated, talented and relentlessly creative. They’re *INSANE*

[@robnorwood3591]

I was there. They opened up for SLAYER at Roy Wilkens auditorium. I had never heard of them, but they blew me away. Big fan and have seen them many times since this show.

[@FurnaceFuneral84]

I remember they opened up for tool in 2002 and I took a bus to Sacramento from Seattle to specifically see tool. Meshuaggh opened I never even heard if them. Then i heard the closing moments of straws pulled at random and meshuggah have been my favorite band ever since

[@robertfan332]

I followed this band for 17 years but after seeing this video I can say now that concatenation is my favorite song of all time from Meshuggah. Unreal.

[@Mozerellaattitude]

It’s one of there meanest songs in my opinion like talk about a terrifying guitar solo.

[@CpLKaNeZA]

The more pre-2000's Meshuggah shows I find online, the happier I become hahaha

[@grizzlywhisker]

best band ever.

[@P3t3rPizzarelli]

8:42 is that a cheeky Anthrax nod?

[@Slayyyer84]

True lol

[@bedhead4129]

I was 4 years old then, never knew. Grew up listening to all the things that would lead me to them. But all that time in between, never knew.

[@guillermolopez1377]

The cameras back then are so bad ass. they get the sound so good nowadays our phones ain't built for that.. the Algorithm is on point this week with old Meshuggah Shows.

[@bigmonk802]

It was a microphone that plugs into the camera, and not the camera itself.

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

my phone sounds better than this, also, placement

[@13_cmi]

No they did not sound better. Newer microphones are better and don't clip like crazy like the one in this video.

[@Chronic_meshuggah_face]

14:49 *this* moment holds a special place in my soul - look at their energy wtf - Sane is an INSANE track

[@erakattack]

19:19 Meshuggah is alien music.

[@wallacemosh]

Lastest tour with Gustaf Hielm. He left the band at 2001 but he had a great sound! As Peter Nordin had a great sound (Unique) too on "CC, None and DEI", Gustaf sounds awesome and different (Unique too) on Chaosphere.......Awesome gig, thanks for posting!

[@RlotttHD]

I thought he left in 2004 for personal decisions, then dick lovgren came into the band

[@darwinism14]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4Hdkoh9gZaIl68 Here on tour again with Gustaf, 2002

[@erakattack]

it's crazy that along with Pain of Salvation, Gustaf has played in two legendary Swedish progressive bands

[@brianb1995]

Hell yeah! I'm in the front there somewhere. This was when they opened for Slayer at Roy Wilkins.

[@fearvo]

This is fucking raw as fuck.

[@jebslept8515]

fucking brutal performance they play with so much energy

[@BittersweetDuality]

Is this the only video footage of Concatenation being played live on KZbin?

[@nicorido]

I remember saw another one a few years ago that was my favorite version of Concatenation live, but it was deleted.

[@djem_arda]

There’s also another footage of it in Eindhoven 1999, you can easily find it.

[@BittersweetDuality]

@@djem_arda thank you!

[@djem_arda]

@@BittersweetDuality you’re welcome! Also just found a (suprisingly high quality) audio recording of it played live in Pitea.

[@TunnelJumper]

I’ve always wondered if Tomas plays the pedal hat during the solo section

[@devendasmusic]

Dude Jens is a machine. So consistent.

[@goosebumps212]

Jens: beastmode activated...

[@dylanbeasley5392]

So true

[@pedrou9708]

Jens on Chaosphere era was not human

Absolutely!!!

[@zeppelinfan82]

I know. He's really into that for this show. Seen that solo plenty, and he's dialed in this show

[@facepalmjesus1608]

their most frantic period

[@doom7232]

why was soil by soad playing at the end?

[@nicorido]

lol

[@officialrhythmicthoughts]

have they played concatenation at all since '99?

[@CpLKaNeZA]

first time seeing them play concat live, i was not prepared. Imagine yourself in '99 seeing this live for the first time

[@arcadeshift5071]

They played it live until 2003.

[@officialrhythmicthoughts]

@@arcadeshift5071 yeah I actually found a bootleg recording of a performance from 2003, bout shit my pants when I heard concatenation

[@djentmaster33]

That crowd just wasn't worthy. If only they knew..

[@sneakychrisdude]

I'm sure most of them were trying to figure out what they were

[@troopin]

Finally one of those where I could say I was there. Had been looking forward to seeing them for a few years at that point. But yeah probably 100 people knew ahead of time what they were seeing. sick of it all played after meshuggah and the crowd was totally bored

None of us are

excellent performance, but few songs ((

Now they let the lights do all the work for them

[@123612100]

I dig their lights but that did make me laugh lol

[@johannrajan3279]

Haha, jokes. But Marten has arthiritis on his arm and he is older now. Tomas Haake was herniated disk on his right thigh and is very tough to play. Fredrik even skipped his tour from 2017 onwards. He tired of live shows, he can't drag himself around. Age only hinteres their live performance, their songs never get old.

[@Forsete]

@@johannrajan3279 Fredrik is back now though.

[@johannrajan3279]

@@Forsete I know, he seems to have lost his hair and his stage presence will mostly be equal to Marten. They won't headbang as they used to.

@@drumkidstu maybe , end of the day they are a rip of atheist cynic pestilence and i guess korn

[@drumkidstu]

@@Djent7779 😂😂😂😂 Meshuggah has been around since 87. They literally wrote the book on syncopated metal. Slayer, Metallica, and rush being their main influences. These guys were using 7 strings in 91 on contradictions collapse 3 years before Korn's debut album. I admit i have seen them put on way tighter performances, but even then this is 10 times tighter than most bands on a good night.

[@Djent7779]

@@drumkidstu 3:58 wtf is this shit

[@drumkidstu]

@@Djent7779 not sure if you are talking about the solo or the build up to the breakdown. The solo is an improvised solo. Fredrik thordendal strictly improvises guitar solos instead playing the same wanky bullshit that most metal guitar players play. The build up is great. The intensity is incredible.
