[@devoman17420]

This is the type of song that seems like it has existed floating around the universe since it began, and just needed the right artist to tune into it and bring it to life. Has an almost mystical quality to it. Definitely the opening song to the soundtrack of my life.

[@ck675]

Devo The Great this is such a fucking amazing comment.

[@RetroHalon]

Rad!!

[@SummerGlitter]

Amen to that!

[@shepdozejr]

You just described every great STS9 moment right there.

[@Dasloth92]

What a beautiful way to describe this magic. Absolutely makes sense

[@satchellrobert]

Man. This brings me back. 21 at the time. Just having the best times with my close friends. Thank you STS9.

[@wolvesretro]

so true bro, how time flies. and all the experiences we've had in between

[@beastlyzeus1266]

Dude literally my exact thought. 21 with best friends

[@kevinsmith8561]

Amen. I was 19 and still remember this set so vividly. Turned me onto a whole world of music I wasn't familiar with. Time flies.

[@permbizzul]

Likewise & yea there are many others too

[@t1lers]

every time i see sound tribe it is the most amazing day of my life.

[@martinterry7613]

This is the best festival I have ever attended bar none. The Dead, Cheese, Yonder, Nas, Umphreys, Bob Dylan, Willie, Toots….insane lineup!!!

[@kmitchell9891]

My first, and I was definitely spoiled. Havent been to any in years but i always have fond memories. Cheers!

[@infanitewonder9858]

If there’s a heaven, I hope they’re playing this when I get there🙌❤️

[@jaredrakestraw7200]

I'll never forget this moment in my life, even if my brain gets scrambled, id still know I was here

[@davidhunt8384]

I was there. EPIC weekend. See you out there and stay after it. Head towards the light dear brother

[@lruddy8820]

i legit just told myself the same thing this was the best show of the best weekend

[@nachoisone]

Hahaha same! And that Eoto set that night too!! 2009 was a damn good year! Happy decade!

[@JaredC63]

Zach Velmer is a rediculously underrated drummer. He truly is one of the greats

[@JKoooozie]

Keeps it tight

[@brandonsandacz2863]

I AGREE 💯 Seen them in Austin Texas, it was my first time seeing them and it changed my life..... but I didn't fully appreciate them,,,, so I seen them at red rocks, a few years ago and I really listened and they changed my life again! Now I'm going to see them in Southern Ohio in a few months and I fully expect them to change my life again 🙃 I'M A STS9 FAN 4 LIFE!!!

[@CharlieBarks-jz5br]

Yooo thank youuu foreal he’s the engine

[@dfdfdfdfdf5]

16 years old when this went down still my favorite show. I'm holding the Mulan dragon when it drops

[@lols9928]

Ah man this was such a vibe back then.

[@timestretched]

Undoubtedly one of the best days/moments of my life! Jesus christ I still get goosebumps...

[@JWitt30]

Me too....

[@AriesOfEmotion]

My first STS9 show/festival. I was happily laying in the dirt at the front of the stage on the left side. So unbelievably exhausted from all the other amazing sets I couldn't dance. That didn't stop me from having the profound understanding that STS9 came to be my favorite band and helped me see and love festivals and music in a way I never though possible. Fuckin' Rothbury

[@JWitt30]

I have to revisit this about twice s month... it's like a chiropractic session for the brain.

[@lruddy8820]

right there with you bud, after ten years, two concussions and all the drugs this show is still one of the most vivid memories i have, they played for 4 hours, sketched out and had to leave after an hour went to go see an hour girl talk set and came back to see them play for over another hour and a half

[@hannahpoland4267]

This is one of the most beautiful and inspiring comment sections on KZbin

[@JaredC63]

I remember walking down the path from the main stage to this stage (Sherwood Court? Ranch stage?) after that banger of a Cheese show and walking into the intro to this Circus. I remember thinking... Life = Complete

[@evansmall]

I'm not even a big sound tribe fan, actually don't like alot of there stuff, but JEBUS! This song is exactly what I look for in a song... it offers everything!!! Everyone in that place is smiling from ear to ear.

[@aumahnaherenow8274]

Will always blow minds how this song evolved so beautifully over "time" from the very first time they played it. Tribe is sum sacred shit. Remember be good n keep it in fam💚

[@acmomberg]

Quite possibly the best song ever written

[@davidhunt8384]

IF THERE IS A HEAVEN I WANT THIS TO BE PLAYING WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE GATES.

[@DinoDNA12]

my favorite song. so ready for live music again

[@mmurphy06]

Was @ this show & found my Michigan homies. It was one of the best nights of my life!! Cheers. ✨✨✨💯💯💯

[@matthewshelvey]

this is a tear jerker.

[@bobfinlay]

wow, this song makes me feel like i have absolutely nothing to worry about

[@TribeVibez1]

such a great feeling you get when the music hits you and takes over the mind and body to create a musical bliss like none other

[@joshuamorphew8560]

Still jamming in 2019. While I miss Murph and the era of time that came with, so happy 2.0 lives on and appreciate the new jams more and more by the day.

[@CharlieBarks-jz5br]

One of the more aptly named songs of all time…I still remember when everybody threw those floaties up all @once. It was somethin Elsie.

[@Reid18]

Favorite song is all time.

[@opihutt]

I loved that festival!!

[@justinwinter4018]

I've probably seen these guys 150 times

[@rjl12]

Was there and it was glorious!

[@nachoisone]

How i miss that moment. Thanks for making Rothbury more magical than the magical world of Disney.

[@Crookz]

How can anyone not love this band and song? 3 people must be deaf and only disliked the song b/c they can not hear the epicly beautiful sounds that come from it.

[@TannerAilstock]

This video will always be my memory of the ledendarry Sound Tribe Secta ninneee

[@gibsonsg3416]

such an awesome song. happy to say I'm a Tribe fan after watching this

[@katiemagee3335]

So beautiful..makes life worth living..they really do..will die a STS9 fan. one love yall and good vibes!

[@jacksonownsyou]

Chill out. People don't live forever, but their music will.

[@AriesOfEmotion]

Bands like STS9 help people realize there is no god and that we all are gods and universes within itself. After seeing STS9 I didn't need faith in "god" or any sort of drug induced feelings to understand this universe is one, making loving to itself infinitely and constantly expanding and exploring forms of conciousness. Welcome to the universe my friend, were here to stay.

[@vanryan8276]

best of the best sts9 tracks

[@caseymitchell7167]

Oh the music 😍

[@kellyfeger]

i could listen to this song over and over and over again

[@t1lers]

@bobfinlay there is nothing ever to worry about as long as u have music like this in your life.

[@ColoradoSon19]

Has to be one of my all time favorites!!! I'm so happy now

[@jeffwittmeyer8173]

Amazing, this is why I love S9 the energy and vibes are unmatchable. Can't wait to see them in a few days

[@edubz1906]

Gives me chills like very little other music can

[@pricklypineapple]

This was one of the best STS9 experiences I ever saw. So pumped to see them again 4.20 in nyc.

[@nolocolo1574]

still brings back chills like it did when I was there watching this..

[@bryansmith2091]

Best weekend of my life

[@cravinmavin]

This video makes me so happy. One of the most amazing nights of my life.

[@bonzmontreux]

The first time I saw them they opened with this and it changed my life.

[@jhsmith2789]

ahhhh everything about this scene is perfect.

[@waltalmeida7783]

Got to love the song

[@waltalmeida7783]

I love this song

[@berniesanders5419]

This is so freaking good.. improv delight

[@mavers21]

[@andrewbalcom7418]

Was at this show ... Good times

[@brandonridgeley4510]

[@Clearynotcrazy]

[@elmoisamac]

[@Beezer1089]

[@jackthepug]

[@joshuamorphew8560]

Still great in 2019!!

[@Trancefreak93]

[@MikeyRicky]

amazing.

[@mkechelesurfer]

mann was such a killer show

[@fluffheadish]

so good

[@pittsburghpiff]

Holy shit that show looks so amazing. I saw them for the first time at Red Rocks on the 6th and it was life changing.

[@Trifectaa]

Did the same thing when they opened allgood with a circus a few years ago

[@SpunionUploads]

Ive watched this set 1,000 times over. This night --as is with any tribe show--was absolutely spiritual. Das me with the Shark in the beginning of the video. The sea of inflatable animals was like nothing i've ever experienced. My favorite part about this night was when the band left for set break. Ya'll did some magic with the lights and the stage making it look like the forest. Then thousands sat quietly and calmly while we waited for you to come back on. Wish i still had access to the full set on iClips :(

[@trevortaft6846]

Thus video just makes me so happy (:

[@JayWaxse]

soo good...best version of circus on youtube. can't wait to see em at stubb's in two days!!

[@PushYourEdge]

wowwww.I'm blaaaaazed right now, never seen this video and never heard this song, and all i can say, is this song is REEDIKULOUSLY AMAZING...and that's a severe understatement =D

[@erincaroline]

magic

[@andrewflavor]

It’s good. It’s funky!

[@TheForrestcook]

i can't wait for sts9 at camp!!! and sts9 and umph at the mann

[@ColoradoSon19]

Fillmore tonight!!!

[@timj8484]

yessir epic show!

[@sambrunner384]

Damn this is awesome

[@jacksonownsyou]

When/if STS9 breaks up, I will probably cry for days.

[@thebrewsrider]

We need you guys at Electric Forest! Big Money Murph!!

[@samuelbrunner8138]

ohhhh myyyyyy goooood.

[@dshiznet333]

this was probably the best live song I've ever heard in my life. I was front left still rolling massively on my purple star after string cheese

[@justindloski9129]

I was there left center stage could have left after circus so epic.

[@shotoftequila]

nice!!

[@Embodied.om333]

im in love with you guys

[@jesserhodes88]

I love all those dudes. But in concert I always posted up in front of zach. He was always how it felt to me for the show.

[@brownbrigade97]

haha they played this NYE first night and i was rolling my face off. STS9 = God

[@walCeb88]

i love it, u guys kick ass!!!!!!! :)

[@joefoley583]

Best. Festival. Ever. Everything was beautiful. All bands slapped, hard. Haven’t seen a better lineup since. Anyone remember the dude just blasting MJ outside the gates with the old school looking boom box? Magical. Unicorns and fairy dust and rage juice all around

[@tryptaminddd]

so fuckin HAPPYYYYY

[@turboencabulator2079]

The bass section was extremely delicious.

[@fdiedling]

I need two things to happen to make 2011 incredible; 1. Rothbury to happen again this year, and 2. Tribe to play two nights again. I'm still rockin my 2009 wristband.

[@brownbrigade97]

fucking incredible

[@colourmeMaggie]

RIP sound tribe

[@kellyfeger]

EPIC.

[@spacebish6073]

Bliss

[@adams3042]

I was there. Good stuff

[@stustu009]

i know people are particular about their music but uhm... anyone else think that STS9 + Pretty Lights is a good idea? anyone?

[@MartySimonson]

i second that emotion

[@FLyAgaric421]

Pretty Lights used to be on 1320 records.. and he's opened for Tribe and done their after parties plenty of times..

[@j13a13]

I have seen Sound Tribe and Pretty Lights together in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

[@Trifectaa]

that breakdown at 4:40 gives me chills everytime.

[@digitalt3ddy]

i was the guy waving the green turtle floaty up front by murph. wicked f-ing show. my 98th tribe show and definitely my most memorable. hunter even played fword for me. can't wait for summer camp and wakarusa. will we see a camp bisco appearance?

[@OMGshhLaWLz]

Anybody catch this on 4/20 in Oakland? Sooooooo good!

[@MrJhurd23]

Dude I remember those exact thoughts. My buddy and I looked at eachother and instantly knew we were where we were suppose to be lol. Cheese was epic and this was the perfect come down! Carl!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rjl12]

TurdBurglar420 Carl! For sure! Haha
