[@tonyzhang2791]

I was there the night! Thanks for sharing so I can relive the moments. TWOD is a treasure!

[@lesleysummers]

My favourite band. I would love to be there in Melbourne. Please come back down to our hemisphere soon!!

[@chewyhulston4297]

Great video. See myself doing the dad dance down front. Beautifully constructed tunes.

[@fedebjalways]

Thank you for sharing this! Have only been listening to them for a few months but they quickly became one of my favorite bands and I had to see them live! They didn't disappoint at all... Great musicians, spectacular songs! A very solid band all around! Awesome show!

[@ExPatRatt]

My friend Melissa introduced me to these guys about 7 years ago and I discovered that they had released their newest album shortly after I moved to the Wellington area for the winter this year. I grooved to it while riding the trains back and forth to Wellington. Especially I don't want to wait which flowed with the smoothness of the train riding on the tracks. These guys are my go to music for chilling and unwinding out of the new school and old U2 and Pink Floyd out of the old school. Thank you so much for uploading!

[@shessassy]

Nice! Happy to share!

[@Brian_ON]

You’ve just mentioned my 3 favourite bands in one sentence. TWOD is just the obvious natural progression. 😂❤

[@ExPatRatt]

@@Brian_ON awesome!

[@bspnhd5760]

Great video. Hearing Strangest Thing in person was one of those bucket list items ticked off - amazing that it was written in Auckland!

[@shessassy]

Yes, very cool!

[@wattpilot]

Same - one key song I wanted to hear - didn't know the Auckland connection either which was way cool !

[@mwd5037]

That’s wild! I am an American that was living in Auckland in 2019 and heard this band strangely from my balcony window as they warmed up for lane fest in Albert park. The rest was history!

[@stevemoore7507]

What an amazing live act - saw them in Berlin and they blew me away 😊

[@wattpilot]

Fantastic concert - waited a while for that one. "Harmonias Dream", "Strangest thing" and "Under the Pressure" the biggies for me !!!! @26:23 that is me going "YEAH, WHOOP for "Strangest Things" as I was sitting pretty close to this filming spot (lol!!). Check out @17:30 as two goons were hauled away 🙂. Shame the way just to close it off so quick but the 11.00pm curfew time is very strict.

[@NoobSaibot564]

Thanks for the upload! Good angle!

[@shessassy]

It was GA seating, so I was pretty happy with my spot!

[@GrantVincent-v9e]

Brilliant Concert .Best concert ive been to in ages.Thanks for sharing your video

[@shessassy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rm3266]

They were fantastic in Wellington the night prior , one of the best gigs I’ve ever been too , I’m 41 & have seen a few !

[@GarethGriffiths-j7i]

There last night amazing! Thanks for sharing

[@hastingsgal]

Having seen them ‘live’ in U.K. I can say that 1:21:01 is as good as it gets at any ‘live’ gig - EVER!!! 😲😲😲

[@wattpilot]

As Charlie builds the "pressure" then lets go!!!!!!!!!

[@johnnyleghorn]

I must've watched Under the Pressure live at Glasto 50 times this year. It's an incredible song, wonderfully delivered.

[@hastingsgal]

@@johnnyleghorn Yes, Glasto was a fantastic performance and UTP is such a crowd pleaser 😅

[@wattpilot]

Same - that's what got me amped for this concert!!!!!

[@lwolle]

Never gets old

[@SuperMacarios]

Thank you ! I saw them already 5 times in Belgium. They are so fantastic !

[@pamela8749]

My Favorite Band ever!!! I love you guys, Amazing!! cannot wait till you come back to Red Rocks!!! I will be there!!

[@johnnyleghorn]

Surely life can't get better than WoD at Red Rocks. The ultimate bucketlist!

[@ErikaFollansbee]

Thank you for sharing this! Excited to watch from the USA! So happy that they made it Down Under. They sound great!

[@shessassy]

[@johnnyleghorn]

[@jjohnson568]

[@rohan-ghosh]

Hey thanks for this!

[@99vaughan]

Went to this. Had low expectations but blew me away. Havent stopped watching them live. So much better than albums. Thank you

[@goormart]

Thanks for sharing! You must have had a great night!

[@faycalgoussi2906]

À little bit of Springsteen huge horn a cup of P Gabriel some coming from Collins or bob Seeger Solos like Tom Morello or Lofgren blowîg my mind. American band and guitar Heroes fighting for life Against Reagan’s law against drugs This is one of the best band I have ever heard since Joe Jackson’s campus songs stepping out opus. I am to old shit. What a mess Thanks for sharing. Fayçal Algeria and France

[@shessassy]

Happy to share. 🙂

[@jnicholson00]

4K is still processing - it might be a few hours, it's a big file!

[@shessassy]

And 7 hours later, it is finally done. Enjoy. :-)

[@hastingsgal]

Thank you so much for posting this!!! ❤️

[@Thedrewzz]

Support quality musicians - go out and buy their music- their LIVE cd is brilliant, called LIVE DRUGS.

[@shessassy]

And better yet, go and see them live. 🙂

[@brandoncrane3874]

Whats their Walk out music?

[@shessassy]

It was State of Independence, by Donna Summer.

[@bradsmith236]

How loud was it? I remember one show they did at the Powerstation... it was the loudest show Ive ever been to.

[@shessassy]

It was loud, but not the loudest, at least not sustained - my watch didn't warn me I was in a loud environment as it often does!
