PLINI - Live "CYNIC Japan tour 2015"

[@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.

[@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.

In what album? I cant find the paper moon song on Spotify

[@metalhead4827]

@@farhanmeazza5424 It’s on the ”The End of Everything” album

[@deadwood21plus]

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

[@Polletross]

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

Completely agree!

[@mark5438zzz]

can you guys add "Chon" in the list?

[@stellaspoochpitfeaturingro3522]

Wow I never knew that was Jakub Zytecki

[@dlamb4prez]

I come back to this set often and I'm still blown away by not only the performance, but the sound quality! This was mic'd perfectly!

[@jacobsladder62663]

That and Jakub Zytecki! I sure hope Plini brings him along on the next tour🤞

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!

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

Selenium forest is pretty good here , for the same reason as paper moon lol

[@Ooranji]

SELENIUM FOREST LIVE IS PURE GOLD

[@PierreDevil203]

Maybe the best video on youtube.

[@davidmarsh1603]

PierreDevil203 Definitely the best live show I've ever seen! The sound quality/mix is especially amazing

[@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!

[@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]

+paralasalud my bad, i think the recorded drummer for the end of everything was actually marco minneman

[@direvus]

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.

[@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!

[@FabiodeAlbuquerque]

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

[@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.

[@luigi1mario]

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

[@jordanols]

Jakub absolutely destroyed that Paper Moon solo. I come back to this video every three months to hear him destroy it... Just to keep me humble.

[@DashHoundRacing]

Troy's solo at 16:30 good GOT DAMN

[@Guille495]

Fuckin' in-sane

[@mliuzzolino]

He is a beast!

[@andrewholmes1353]

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!
