Really enjoyed this set. Lots of songs that blew me away, like 20 Size, Remurdered, and the chill inducing Every Country’s Sun. Awesome band. Cheers Mogwai and fans!!!

[@maxwamalot1651]

I'm 42 years old, seen and heard a lot of bands, these guys are in my top 10.

[@andresEnie]

same and same

[@cryptodentist]

This is the best performance of Remurdered I’ve heard. I think it’s a tricky song to do live because it often sounds more uncertain, and you want the end to hit like an anvil - it does in this show.

[@justawatchin2]

fully agreed, this gets really aggressive and I love it.

[@PhilippeCorthout]

I was there... but even on the footage the sound is incredible. That snare sound, the guitars and synths.... just perfect.

[@leifdehio2151]

Kudos to Cat - her performance is absolutely on par with any of the official band members.

[@sryburn641]

She's one beautiful human machine. Her drumming just blows me away.

[@KnorpelDelux]

@@sryburn641 Yeah, nothing better than a person with dedication. She really carries the band through every track, great performance.

[@sryburn641]

@@KnorpelDelux agreed. She deserves respect in the music community. I’m going to check her out and see who all she’s worked with.

[@D2uned]

HOLY SH*T! Who are these people? They are not of this Earth. Have we been visited by vastly superior aliens and did not know it? They might be angels, especially the drummer who is my opinion the heartbeat of the group.

[@coa9080]

What's happening in 'every country's sun' ? Why is the bass going 1 beat faster?

[@tobimm2]

Technical malfunction. He plays forward and fades the volume in onbeat - here it looks like the volume pedal doesn't work as intended, at least for the clean bass mix for the Stream.

[@vincentpourchaire9918]

Great music. Thank you. Whats the name of the last song please?

[@EvilCarrot]

We're No Here from Mr. Beast

[@timbugbee6921]

that part at @8:00 will never get old. who's drumming and where did they put Martin?

[@antonhosek7363]

Her name is Cat Myers from Honeyblood, another Glaswegian band. Martin fell ill just before the tour so she's touring with them.

[@timbugbee6921]

Anton Hosek nice. Saw them open for Belle & Sebastian a couple years ago.

Been there the day after. Is there a live footage of it? Thank you!

[@TheICONMOGWAI]

I'm still a huge fan of let's say 2-3 first albums... after that is somewhat lazy repeat-settings-same-song / but the concert was great, always a sound blast, amazing gig with great edges but still with somewhat too much comfort zone... if anyone can remember of their very first gig in brussels at the botanique 'young team' period, or even the one one the cody period

[@chrisytfc879]

Don't know how you can say they're repeating the same songs to be honest, even if you don't like their more recent albums, Every Country's Sun sounds absolutely nothing like Rave Tapes which sounds nothing like Hardcore Will Never Die which sounds nothing like The Hawk Is Howling. There is no similarity from one album to the next.

[@cinevile]

still worth going to their show, especially under influence of psychedelics

[@robertislas1]

[@iandt1367]

Is there anyone who knows the lyrics for "2 Rights..."?

[@matatmat]

At night, you're driving You don't know where you're going to But you keep driving And try as you might, time passes by You see two roads ahead of you A left or right And then you realize this road you're on Will never end These roads, you've seen before In one of your recurring dreams It seems where you are now Just maybe is another dream But rest won't come to you As you drive on and lose control The wheel spins faster now A left or right means nothing now In dreams. *Not sure how accurate this is *

[@javiern100]

ABSOLUTELY

[@guichardthomas3616]

bassist not in rhythm on Every Country's Sun. Not hearing well, I suppose

[@mybrainidont]

I noticed as well. Its not the first time, so I'm wondering if he meant to use a reverb pedal of some sort that times his notes one beat after he makes a stroke, and that he forgot to switch it on or something.

[@stuartbraithwaite7382]

It’s a mistake with the board mix. At the actual gig that wasnt what happened. It’s to do with the mix coming from a bass pedal.

[@guichardthomas3616]

@@stuartbraithwaite7382 thank you for your answer !! Didn’t mean to criticize at all, but it did feel strange… all apologies 😅

It was Yesterday night.....my week was pretty bad and i was zapping thru the TV Programm, as i saw this Band my very very first time. Never heard anything from them. But now they have a new Fan. Their Music took me away....i just wanted to watch one song, to see if i like it.....I watched the Show to the end and it was absolutely awesome !!!!!! Greatest Band i have ever heared Live !!!!

[@rygelxv]

Dar Ancienne Belgique Team, thank you so much for this fantastic videos. Just one thing, is it possible to shift the audio a little bit (one or two frames), so that it syncs with the video?

[@abtv]

Hi, thank you for your comment. Are you watching on a mobile device or desktop? It is perfectly in sync right here.

[@rygelxv]

Oh i´m totally sorry. It must be my crummy Desktop here then. Thank you for looking into this.

Does anyone know what John Cummings is up to? Where can we hear his tunes?

One of the only artists i've seen live. I was there, which is not something I can say often, but was really good. Should do it more often

[@TheICONMOGWAI]

... and Cat new drummer is kind of cool, but martin is less heavier and more rolling-drums-with-that-glasgowian-teenagfancubish-mogwai-shit-things to me

The piece at 52:34 sounds like any number of pieces from John Carpenter's Lost Themes.

[@ernstschmidtmann1980]

good, better, Mogwai!

[@D2uned]

This drummer might have listened to Bonzo of Led Zeppelin (I could be wrong). The beat is sometimes very syncopated and just a bit ahead or behind the downbeat in a very planned "hovering" way. This is an incredibly stylized sort of drumming that in some ways reminds me of A Perfect Circle or Puscifer. Totally original in approach to percussion instrument playing and different on every song. I am a guitarist who appreciates good drummers. With such a complex overlay of instruments, their drummer has found a way to interweave with the vast Mogwai sound but still be very distinctive. I can see the love on the drummer's face when playing. It helps too that the engineering is so great and nothing gets lost in the mix.

[@pacapache1]

[@rapbattlewbbofficial]

During every country's sun why does dominic (the bass) play out of place? anyone know?

[@freakandhell]

Hi, I'm glad you have the same feeling as me ^^ As far as I understand, Dominic seems to use a volume pedal for this song. He strums the chords out of tempo and bring the sound in with the pedal at the right moment. For some reason the pedal doesn't seems to work / is not recorded in this version. The other band member doesn't seems to notice ^^ In this version (kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3LHi4F4gKisn5I) you see Dominic struming out of tempo and fade the sound in using his pedal at approx 2:20 Anyway ... it sound terrible in this live ;)

[@rapbattlewbbofficial]

thank you so much, cheers

[@antonhosek7363]

I think you're right - makes sense.

[@jamienliston9072]

I wonder if the sound we're hearing is the non-affected signal straight to the desk? It looks like he's swelling the volume but we're not getting the intended result

[@stuartbraithwaite7382]

@@jamienliston9072 exactly right. It’s a mix mistake. It didn’t sound like that at the show.
