[@anthonywinchell56]

this is the most positive comment section I've ever seen. a whole bunch of nerds just here to enjoy good music. that's what I love so much about this community

[@jonnyquest8774]

Anthony Winchell, you're right! I didn't realize it til you pointed it out. I wish I could follow this 'comment group' around KZbin. Most are unbearably negative and toxic.

[@634983]

then you go and call everyone nerds.. lol, just kidding

[@davidhenrylake2047]

@@jonnyquest8774 This music makes us too happy to be toxic.

[@rollacoastaride1937]

a 55 year old nerd totally agrees

[@Polletross]

Definitely a nerd for the production, tones, style, and overall musicianship of all of this!

[@DashHoundRacing]

Major shout out to whoever did sound for this recording - spot fucking on!

[@magetaaaaaa]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@SaranjivacSRB]

Crazy Japanese freaks :) The sound quality is so unreal, it's better then 99% of studio albums that I have listened to.

[@lucase3047]

Excellent mix, however i do miss a bit of room mic sound, its very direct for a live mix.

can you guys add "Chon" in the list?

TROY WRIGHT!!!!!!

[@951258tike22]

+Dustin Sweeney so great to see him live like this, killer as ever!

[@deathbastardable]

Monster players, every one of them. So glad I found Plini, his music is _too_ fresh.

[@joelcoool]

troy wright adds something tasty in every bar he plays, but he literally never overplays. impeccable feel

[@Daddyfatclaps]

notice how quiet the crowd is, something rare to find in America during any concert. Truly listening as to truly enjoy.

[@floeten-olm8396]

+Mike Lord it's japan dude, but yeah, quiet intense though

[@Daddyfatclaps]

I've been doing sound in the US for years, never have experienced this before. Really neat to see people so attentive.

[@floeten-olm8396]

had this at an animals as leaders show, but tosin said it's strange we're so quiet :D

[@wakjob961]

+Mike Lord I find it so rude when the crowd treats the band as background music as they just talk away with each other or dick-off with their cell phones the whole time. This crowd is awesome!

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

Agree Mike they are memorized and hypnotized..I concur!

[@Polletross]

Simon Grove just doesn’t get enough love and appreciation. He’s a master of bass and production

[@Avynders]

Normally, Paper Moon would have been my favorite, but... I have to give these guys a shoutout for their rendition of Selenium Forest. Just... wow, I'm at a loss for words, let me just say this much: I had a huge smile all over my face while listening to it, this is by far the best live version of a song I've ever listened to, better than the studio version imo. Needless to say, huge props to Plini, Jakub, Troy and Simon, you guys killed it!

[@flake8382]

Probably the best live version of Paper Moon there is.

[@markg2861]

It's because of Jakub :)

[@flake8382]

@@markg2861 absolute. Jakub and Plini together are a match made in heaven for harmony.

[@Ooranji]

SELENIUM FOREST LIVE IS PURE GOLD

[@roryg3460]

14:26 onwards of Selenium Forest is so sick, Jakub's solo is insane

Honestly plini's solo was shit

I just realized that the second guitarist is Zytecki. both are guitar heroes of this decade.

[@FluxProductions2009]

Holy shit it's Troy Wright! Knew he covered Plini material, didn't know he was their drummer

[@paralasalud]

+Glenn McClue he's the touring drummer and the drummer for the end of everything, but everything before that i'm pretty sure plini was just using programmed drums.

[@paralasalud]

[@MrShagification]

Zytecki's guitar tone is unbelievably good.

[@andyham6094]

The sound quality and video quality and the angles and the entire feel and emotion of this full set video of plini is absolutely perfect. Please do a video exactly like this of animals as leaders next time they come near you. One of the best live videos I've ever seen.

[@Desmolas]

All of Plini's songs are great...but Paper Moon still blows me away every time. Its so masterfully crafted its beautiful. Every note of every instrument with purpose

[@apexxx09]

I feel the same! Especially the solo, it's just a rollercoaster of emotions!

I must have watched this video at least 30 times, and the colossal drum solo at the end of Selenium still makes my heart race. Seeing these virtuosi play in person is right up there in my all time favourite live music experiences.

[@marlathea2764]

[@luigi1mario]

Lost it at the paper moon solo. Incredible to see Jakub play his own solo live

[@BLzBob.7268]

These guys are on the next level from all the bands that have come before. No false sentimental lyrics, just full on guitar skills with gut busting power. Fucking love it.

[@vprice509]

They really are something else. I never heard of them before today. Somehow Jakub Zytecki came up in my feed. After I watched that video (JZ live in Cracow) the algorithm fed me this one. I just now realized that Jakub is the other guitarist. Curious, though- it has definite rock influence, but is not rock-n-roll, which really requires singing to be called that. I've heard it called prog, post-rock and math-rock but I'm not sure those terms do it justice or really describe it. At times they remind me of Rush (without singin'), in the cinematic and bombastic scope of their music. Bands like Yes and Rush had non-sentimental lyrics, but few bands are like that. Maybe a few songs a year (worldwide) are written that are saying something in a novel, original way. Mostly it's a rehash of Oh baby I need you so much please come back I am so sad, honky-tonk badonkadonk, how ya like me now? That's why I can't write songs anymore. I used to think I had something I wanted to express. I guess I did before, but I don't any longer. At least not that belongs in a song.

[@Bi0hazardOpeth]

This literally brought tears to my eyes... Yesss!!!

[@reneheadbanger1246]

fuck im happy for Troy Wright! finally he made it with a band worth his skills!

[@JouniK86]

15:29 Jakub absolutely destroys it and Plini is having the time of his life. Amazing to see two guys just ripping it and enjoying the hell out of it. Flawless work by Grove and Wright as well! One of the best live shows I've ever seen and Selenium Forest is the pinnacle moment of it. This is why we have music!

[@FabiodeAlbuquerque]

24:37 That groovyreggaedub section on 'Away' is a refreshing and pure tribute for the universality of music.

[@DeadlyLazer]

reggae away was AWESOME!!

[@wisnumurti8178]

I missed Plini live but this is definitely the next best thing. Plini's music is so refreshing and uplifting.
