spencer's live vocals have gotten insanely good

[@laughingwolf330]

I was JUST thinking how much he's improved from the earliest live shows - seriously impressive!!

[@jacobweber5743]

ill bet they always are, i think due to this being a casual event , and only sang one song (i think) he was at 110%, when you see live videos online, song one is normally great, then they get tired lol. and he simply cant preform at full potential , great either way

[@DomSchu]

Very few people are great lead vocalists naturally, but you can train a decent voice to be great with enough practice.

[@aidancelner6305]

A Clark actually they played maybe 5-7 songs, it was fantastic and Spencer sounded great.

[@hogblockula9335]

probably because he has good monitoring here and can hear himself properly

[@tamaszombory-balogh930]

Stranger Things is such an epic ending for Omega!

[@CrNgLrD]

a very appropriate use of the word epic

[@TundraCH]

Yea, it was such a perfect ending, i just find it weird that there is no music video for it and they play it so much

[@shonnythansurn]

It is! The song Omega itself was amazing although it is long. The Bad Thing and Priestess were awesome. The best from Juggernaut still had to be Psychosphere for me, personally. I just love that song. You should check out the 'machine gun' riff on Stranger Things where they hit the G# note on the lower F# string repeatedly.

[@TundraCH]

Psychosphere is AMAZING man, lovelove that song, so emotional and powerful, think Alpha gravitates to people who are more so into catchy choruses and poppy tendencies over all but Omega theres so many great songs, Priestess is underrated to me but Omega followed by Stranger Things probably my favorite closer to an ending ever besides White Walls by BtBaM

[@shonnythansurn]

My bad, it wasn't from Stranger Things. Anyone happen to know which song where they hit the G# note on the lower F# string repeatedly. like a machine gun djent riff?

[@rustycr0w]

What I love about Periphery is, no pretense, no bullshit. Just some chill guys playing amazing music and having a great time. No costumes, no uniform, no bullshit. They let the music do the talking and love what they do. So cool.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

Yea but sometimes the costume isn't pretentious at all. Like Adam D from killswitch engage. Wears a cape and daisy dukes because it's funny and makes a fool out of himself on stage

[@grabmyrooster]

"Honey, we won't be able to make the mortgage payment this month." "What the hell do you mean??" "I walked into Guitar Center to get some strings and picks but Periphery was there playing and well....those guys are magical so long story short I have an 8-string now."

[@aaronwalker1678]

Better investment

[@jordanols]

So accurate

[@austinl1912]

Fun fact, they played this so Spencer could take a piss break

[@austinl1912]

Yep, I was there. Awesome little event

Jose Monro there's a few.

[@James-yt6to]

That’s probably worth 6 grand easy

[@James-yt6to]

I could be exaggerating a little lol

[@Mytube6138]

Proper custom PRSs can get absolutely nuts. Like aggressive multi-scales and shit that I've seen in a high end store near me that cost comfortably over 10 grand

[@josuastangl7140]

@@Mytube6138 what? Never seen a PRS multiscale, damn that sounds cool!

[@xSkullKrushax]

Periphery is just godlike in person. they sound so good, and jesus christ Spencer is the real deal. has a wider range live, than he does on record!

[@eclipsegfxable]

I really want to see them live!

[@nivekiohc]

I saw them at the Masquerade in Atlanta GA during their tour this year. They are amazing live! When you get chance to see them in the future you will not be disappointed.

[@eclipsegfxable]

NivekIohc I shall but I'm in the UK, So might have to wait a while aha

[@unabashed]

Catherine Langenstuck awww...don't insult The Gift of Music like that. Both bands are truly a gift and their music can get people through the shittiest of times.

[@devindawson2710]

Seen them Live 3 times. No band can compare to them in my opinion as far as how hype you get. The best band as far as sound live is The Contortionist.

[@in_light_in_me]

I firmly believe Spencer is the greatest vocalist in the genre.

[@James-yt6to]

Michael Gutierrez agreed

[@zaned861]

I second that

[@phokyew699]

3 years later... still fucking true

[@anxiousx]

Every member has a unique things to offer which you can't find in most bands.

[@djentisnotagenre_]

i 100% agree

[@towertito2149]

When you see Misha playing. Big smile on his face. You can tell he's just living his dream. And it makes listening that much better imo

[@bfmvlewis1999]

6:20 was the most djent thing I've ever heard in my life... hit me like a mofukin train

[@SezamMusic]

Absolutely man this is sooo tight and groovy

[@pandamoniuminstrumentalmus2970]

Spencer is KILLING IT

[@codylujan]

jesus christ spencer. you could tell he was out of breath a lot in this performance but he never missed a key. any motherfucker says this guy sucks can be his guest and pick up that mic and sing it as flawless as he did.

[@Anonymous__-uo6zq]

Fucking Shit. Spencer's vocals are unreal good on this. This is goddamn incredible.

[@mikepaling8427]

yeah he's fucking sick.

[@Quaselfasel]

especially on the first track

[@t3chphr3ak]

I'm so lucky that I was one of the 150 people who attended! The atmosphere was nothing like I've ever seen as a concert. Between the intimate q and a and the guy screening "SHIT ON THE FLOOR" it was so cool

[@aidancelner6305]

Justin Dittburner I was standing right next to the shit on the floor guy, he was hilarious.

[@americanmetalhead7318]

Chester Bennington given someone backed up their story, I’ll say you’re just salty you werent there; furthermore, RIP Chester

[@Cestariarts]

Jake's 8 string Ibanez is one of the nicest guitars I've ever seen

[@bantzrayder8976]

Love the way the last riff of four lights hints at that heavy as shit riff in stranger things

[@Nedwin]

No words can express how super talented Spencer is.

[@cruzigi6592]

Just imagine if Nolly didn't leave and he's killin the bass with these monsters 🔥🔥

[@EEeE3771]

5:55 oooohhh man that stackkk

[@cruz5248]

Something about these two songs just fit so well together. Maybe it's the fact that Four Lights has a slower version of a riff from Stranger Things.

[@SenseiJosh]

Super Djenty. These songs still seem so new, but its weird to think that they were 2 albums ago

[@TheAnselmoE]

It was on Alpha/Omega, so just one album ago

[@SenseiJosh]

Yeah I meant two albums ago counting P3

[@GoodCarpet]

What was the other album that wasn't P3? These were on Alpha/Omega.

[@justinbeamon6624]

When are people gonna play at my guitar center

[@bildom]

justin beamon The funny thing is that this is my Guitar Center, but this was three years ago, when I wasn’t into Periphery, so that sucks...

[@PorscheJon]

Wow lucky people. Wish I experienced this.....

[@aidancelner6305]

I was there, was standing pretty much right in front of Misha, it was incredible. These guys are so down to earth and cool (and really nerdy too haha). Probably one of the best shows I've seen because of its intimacy.

[@TheRealCC3]

Six years later and this is still one of my favorite videos to watch.

[@fabiobianchi1981]

good live vocals! something very unusual

[@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp]

3 guys, 24 strings. holy shit balls

[@coreyballenger5600]

João Ferreira If only Nolly were there with his extra 5. :/

[@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp]

I think it's actually 6, which would make 30 strings total. I guess the answer to that old question "but does it djent?" is quite obvious in this case :p

[@qanderson]

@@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp his yellow afterburner 1, yes? i believe that one was used for f# standard on the tours (or he could just pitch shift one in b standard)

[@agnosticii]

6:25 Nolly, wtf are you doing in the audience? Get in there n play dat bass.

[@emametalfarra2092]

Lmao

[@vsevolodkvachev7649]

I'm continuing to get physical pleasure out of this song.

[@jhar9022]

My two favorite songs off the double album. So stoked for this...

[@djentisnotagenre_]

i saw this in my recommended like two weeks ago and i’ve watched five times since then, never gets old.

[@TheAverageGam3r]

Ibanez 8 headstocks are perfect

[@thejrfanclub628]

yes, the jackson ones are ugly asf.

[@britscout6496]

zifee mayne I like the Jackson 8 headstocks

[@hcaz5818]

Jake's is flipped but either way is perfect yes

[@JesterMasque]

Thank you so much for blowing my mind. Mark's tapping part was one of the most intense things I've ever seen. You really found something here with these perspective-type single-cam shots. So much drama and energy is captured.. What kind of lens did you use?

[@ericmuellervisuals8633]

Your welcome. I used an AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G lens.

[@Meshuggaha]

My thoughts exactly. Awesome job Eric. That was a great moment. Glad you were there to capture it and share it with us all.

[@M4NA5]

Vincent Ippolito Actually, Misha wrote that part.

[@JesterMasque]

Manas Sharma He may have, but Mark is playing it with precision as per usual, and it looked fucking awesome with Eric's beautiful cinematography'

[@CryThunderdarealone]

Proxy Who cares who wrote it? It's a Periphery song. They all have to play it. It sounds great whoever plays it.

[@oshikiri999]

Spencer's a beast...but a beast who's suited for an controlled environment such as this and the studio, his only flaw is over excitement in the moment (But fuck how can you not feel this shit) but I'm no one to judge him and neither are any of you...

[@poopguy6208]

jesus ive never seen an 8 string holcomb prs before

[@Apfelsafs]
