ODESZA NEEDS to do a full blown orchestra concert

[@seth_d_Cfit]

Piacabs have you watched them live? They pretty much do. But yes I agree...I want to see that so bad!

[@charstar1989]

Apparently they did. My friend said it was a full orchestra when she saw them at red rocks

[@kengardner5275]

They have! And it was incredible! :)

[@charlesmillard7574]

ABSOLUTELY

[@bryandastmalchi3250]

Saw them live . The most incredible performance I’ve ever witnessed.

[@rahul91090]

I feel blessed that Odesza is around in my lifetime.

[@Markle.]

Me too. They bring me so much joy.

[@Markle.]

Seeing them live this year. Hope you get the chance to as well

[@missbus9197]

I feel the exact same way

[@wingtracer]

Beautiful soul

[@paultorbert6929]

saw Odesza at the Brandon Amphitheatre outside Jackson MS...... i am 63 years old..... it was an incredible experience.... the Lightshow was bomb, but the music was unspeakably Uplifting !!!!!!! as a guitarist/synthesist, i was floored !..... as a music lover, i was elevated !!!!!!!

[@duncanwcraig9668]

paul torbert you go brother ! You’re an inspiration too. So true. I just hit 50. Music is the highest form of communication. Love Odesza.

Hello friends, I like music, I think it is difficult, any advice ☺️

[@loveeachother7135]

THIS. IS ODESZA. ^^^

[@brandoncavnar9179]

Bored in my house thanks to COVID-19, I stumbled across this performance. I listen to them when I'm training a ton. This was out of this world and angelic. I'm not sure what magic I just witnessed here. This is truly from the cosmos.

[@magnat7]

I think that this is the best live performance. Just mind blowing.

[@332fuse]

This version of Higher Ground is so beautiful!!

[@cb1313bb]

Agreed! Naomi is sooo beautiful as well.

[@paragt3682]

[@BatmanHQYT]

Line of Sight was fucking flawless, they pulled it off so well

[@MarcosSoni]

"Line of Sight" gotta be one of my fave O-dizzy tracks of all time. Rising ambience, juxtaposed melodic chorus sung by Wynne, haunting transition of "I Don't Learn," then the beat drops. When the background singer sings the harmonic "oooh-wooo-hoooo-ooo," done.

[@Hallerlale]

Perfect description. Love it.

[@Lotthawottha]

I can't die before I see this guys live. Please ODESZA, come to Belgium! Or to any country in Europe I can reach by car or train.

[@m0t0k0kusanagi]

ODESZA is one of those amazing bands that sounds even better live, so awesome to see them on KEXP again. WTB this version of Higher Ground!

[@corvo9406]

They were awesome at Sloss Fest in Alabama this summer ... what an atmosphere.

They are such an inspiration! The music is out of this world. I love them so much!

I haven't seen them live yet, but I will the next time they come to my city!

[@aaronmiyashita9084]

Never seen Cheryl more stoked!

[@marina5909]

Cheryl is always so sweet 🥰

[@Voevoden]

The amount of creativity that has been in that room is astounding

[@ValleyOfTheShadow]

I think their current tours are about the music and the visualizations (at least that was my experience a few years ago) but if they did a truly live theatre tour w/ an orchestra I would pay anything to attend.

[@tertoka]

KEXP is the best radio station in the U.S. period.

[@RatherSneakyBadger]

ODESZA has earned all the good coming their way.

[@jessewood3196]

Painfully beautiful. We are so fortunate to have them.

[@christopherrubio8047]

Once that beat dropped for Higher Ground, I got chills while weeping.

[@DakarRaider]

it never ceases to amaze me how well electronic music can translate into live performances. Above & Beyond did a live concert a few years ago and it was stellar. This gave me goosebumps from the first few notes.

[@maderaofficial2245]

literally clapping in my bedroom. so beautiful.

[@tomwall2361]

This set literally brings me to tears.

[@j7db]

I get to see Odesza tomorrow night at the Electric Factory here in Philly. I'm a 6'5", 220lb born-and-raised hip-hop head from the Bronx, New York, and I openly admit that I'm probably going to cry like a bitch at the show. A very emotionally stable, secure bitch, I might add, but a bitch nonetheless.

[@jolt106]

DUDE HAVE A BLAST! I missed that show because I have to work :'(

[@seanr1013q]

good on ya brother

[@j7db]

Dakota Shackelford absolute magic. It was the most incredible live show I've ever seen.

[@jolt106]

Amazing to hear, glad you had a blast!

[@arictelian]

Thats awesome. Enjoy!

[@acridwolf]

I really do appreciate how much they care about delivering a serious performance every time, no matter where or what, or when.

[@fantaskles]

When he said there was an older couple in the crowd, 30-35 !! That cut me right through the heart

[@ce11ochic]

As a 49 year old fan myself, tell me about it. ffs… 😩 Clearly I’m ancient?

[@heatheranderson864]

This version of "Higher Ground" is so simple and stunningly beautiful. It brought my fiance and I to tears as we heard it together. I'm a professional cellist, composer and arranger. So.... I wrote it out for my October 2018 wedding and it's what I walked into. I had a live string quartet playing, a mixdown recording of myself playing the keyboard part, and the vocal line covered sublimely by a professional oboist friend (because completely pointless trying to find a perfect silken voice like Naomi). I initially had all the percussion parts in the mixdown too, but removed them. I thought it would be lacking without the funky percussion but it wasn't... it was peaceful and beautiful just like the opening and ending. We both sobbed in joy as I walked to him and and together we found our higher ground. Love you Adam.

[@AZmotion]

Hello, I love this. Would it be possible to hear it? Even just an audio clip. This is a dream of mine too haha

[@ce11ochic]

@@AZmotion I don’t think any of my walk in was recorded. I have the oboe piano parts in a file but not with quartet added. I hope to pay some friends to record that part with me but it is very expensive to get a sound engineer for just an hour. Do they have private messages on youtube? If so send me your email address.

i loved their music before then i saw them live...no words to describe the feeling. i cried. I love when a group can produce music that moves you. love the positivity in their music. we can change the world with their jams

[@missbus9197]

I love your post. Have loved this band for years and got to see them live in Denver this summer on their Last Goodbye Tour. Then they had a makeup show in San Jose so we flew there just to see the very last show of their tour. A friend pointed this video out to me, it made me cry tears of joy just as much as the music, both concerts and it’s played on our house every day

[@HotelEdenMusic]

These guys have a way with layering such beautiful timbres.

[@glitch2998]

I have played Thin Floors and Tall Ceilings like a million times, and I'm still not bored of it...Odesza are totally amazing!!!

[@sponkmcdonk3898]

This is way better than I expected. Such rich and lush things going on here.

[@mattryan2489]

This is my favorite KEXP performance. The version of the songs are incredible and I love the way they incorporated the strings and wind instruments. Such humble, and down to earth guys who really deserve all the success they are getting. I like Cheryl Waters, but what is with the comment about not being able to sing at the end?Is it really a shame when the band highlights some incredible vocal talents from out of the mainstream? Maybe she was still in a dreamlike state after listening to all that beautiful music.

[@maxszwell8491]

She was talking about WYNNE, she was being sarcastic and complimenting him.

[@paytonashleyxx732]

they are one of the greatest musicians. they literally take you out of your soul to another world. they will always have a special place in my heart❤️

Had the privilege to see them live last year and they were amazing. Wish they played this. Just mind blown. Imagine if they had a whole orchestra shit would be orgasmick

[@SonnyScapes]

No kidding, this is the best live studio performance i have ever seen on KEXP. The way they put together the strings along with the voices. This is just perfection. Get goosebumps with every song. Oh, and those trumpets on "thin walls tall ceilings". just wow!
