This performance certainly gave me a trom-boner.

[@cheetahfranzen8547]

this is one of them

[@chavelitareads]

Look at the joy in Yoko Kanno (Lady in the red trench coat who wrote the music for Cowboy Bebop) It radiates from her to her music!

[@glipk]

Because she's a god

[@Limpass610]

@gypsy lab god damn

[@newflesh666]

She's the coolest, no matter the planet

[@danbo967]

She actually stole a lot of her music from other songs tho.

[@alexanderbanman9288]

Her soundtracks are incredible.

[@EbefrenRevo]

That woman is a genius.

[@geishagirlskoume]

yoko kanno(菅野よう子), composer of this tune.

[@The51stDivision]

I now file a formal request to the Government of Japan or whoever's in charge to have this as the kick-off song for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony. (Although I'd also like to have The Real Folk Blues for the closing ceremony but then I guess I'd be asking too much)

[@danielfennessey]

And the Seatbelts have GOTTA Play it. I don't know who else could do it justice...

[@DaRUde117]

Stop being a fucking cringey dipshit

[@mehmetturgut6154]

Tank is kinda ok but real folk blues might not go well with that event

[@percyplant474]

Tank, it is sooo iconic

[@neelshejwalkar5153]

I think kaneda's theme is better suited but I love this too

[@feAt.tAkuyA]

シートベルツのメンバーは日本のトップミュージシャンおよびスタジオミュージシャンたちで構成されてるから、もうこれ以上は無理ってくらい演奏が上手い。

[@ApexGale]

This was quite the vicious performance. The song's badassery really spikes when that sax starts playing, though.

[@HeroOfWar1214]

really.... SPIKES?

[@FlyingNinjaGypsy]

Quite VICIOUS SPIKES see what you did there

[@danielappleton153]

[@danielappleton153]

[@mistertibbs472]

[@robgeorge4581]

Goddamn. The sax is better than the original.

[@HokutoAnsatsuken]

Of course it is...

[@robgeorge4581]

HokutoAnsatsuken The power of live music and Bebop improvisation compels everyone.

[@kagoon0709]

the saxophonist's name is Masato Honda.

[@robgeorge4581]

[@MarcSpraragen]

Amen brother

[@siddharthm285]

Seeing this I can understand why Ed's personality was based of Yoko Kanno, they're both hyper geniuses lol

[@daquandoolie1623]

It wasn't her it was someone else

[@lucaslaino7292]

Slightly based on bowies alter ego ziggy i think.

[@Carlx6]

Yes, the sax is great, but what about that fuckin' robust drumming?

[@colegamba3096]

Carlx6 sooo true. I'm a drummer, and the whole time I was amazed at how on point the drummer was.

[@tvu86]

lmao i have no idea about drumming but your comment cracks me up for some reason - "ROBUST" drumming?!?!?! HAHA

[@colegamba3096]

tvu86 It means that the drumming is very easily heard, pronounced, and defined. It is the opposite of weak drumming, with whenever a drum is hit, barely any sound and vibration is made, and the stick bounces like when you drop a bouncy ball it bounces several times, but they're very weak, as opposed to throwing it at the ground, which gives several powerful bounces(before becoming weaker).

[@nicoflogger123]

What about that bass, hot damn!!

[@juliantupas106]

Carlx6 Watching Whiplash made me realize how under appreciated jazz drumming is

[@TubbyGeneration135]

nothing beats that damn sax.

[@cr1msonriver]

Agreed. I've never heard someone hit a note that high on an alto. And it sounds majestic af. XD

[@killerash8726]

Really? Dude it's easy. Well not really but it's possible. I've done it before.

[@cr1msonriver]

[@plutomutt]

Can you imagine being there? At the height of Cowboy Bebop's popularity. The energy in the room, the optimism, the pure unadulterated joy?

[@nickstoli]

[@OuroborosChoked]

Y'know, I ended up here after looking for a bunch of different marching bands and jazz ensembles that covered Tank! There are a lot... and none of them - not a single one - holds a candle to The Seatbelts. That's not a knock against their musicianship or abilities, but the main thing that separates all of them from The Seatbelts is passion. Not a single group sounded like they gave a shit or that they were allowed to give a shit. They were hitting the notes just fine... playing the piece as written... but there was never any riffing or improvisation. Either they had over-practiced or were just too controlled... it didn't seem like anyone playing was allowed to have _fun_ with the music. And that's just depressing. Tank! is the kind of song that you can't help but jump on your chair and get hyped over! You can't play that sitting in rows of folding chairs in a tuxedo. That's not even how jazz is supposed to be played at all. You've gotta throw yourself into it and let your heart play through your instrument.

[@elizabethainsworth1138]

OuroborosChoked I love that and I’ve also noticed the same thing. I’m playing it in my school band at some point and I hope we can put that passion into it (and that we have enough brass)

[@BedtimeDisaster]

So I just checked out a bunch of the same videos, and you are 100% correct. The Seatbelts blew that roof the fuck off.

[@ohagiiman8985]

BedtimeDisaster That's because it was the Seatbelts who wrote this song exclusively for Cowboy Bebop.

[@BedtimeDisaster]

Ohagi Man I think it was just Yoko who wrote it.

[@user-ix6qr5if5y]

She did and then she created "The Seatbelts" to record it for the Show.
