Thee Oh Sees Bring Down The House +1
Starring: Thee Oh Sees

[@gabeb.3733]

This is my favourite Osees track. Its perfectly encompasses the band as an entity. Makes me kind of sad that I didn't get into them until a few years ago. I wish I was there for the early stuff. Need to see them live. Discovering John Dwyer was like discovering someone that you made up in a dream.

[@DaveAnchovies]

honestly, the early stuff is not as great as Help and onward. Masters Bedroom seemed to be when they started to really kill it. so 2007-8 would be when they became a band and not a bedroom experiment.

[@mikedavis2107]

They still kill it live dude. Different members then this video besides John but the hits keep coming and the pits stay pitty. Oh sees show is living.

[@AHarmlessBlackMan]

Quite simply the greatest current live band

[@MrFunnybrain]

Still holds up

[@DickiMonster]

There’s that thing very unique strange and fascinating when you go to an oh sees show . The noise gets to your soul and stuff I can’t describe it but it’s more powerful than the dark side of the force

[@dennisswiatkowski2580]

This is such a great video, which captures the feeling and energy and positivity of a Thee Oh Sees show perfectly well. Just love looking at all those kids having a good time. This band is really one of a kind in our time.

[@justineppie]

def one of the most epic live bands of this generation.

[@VonWarwick]

Saw them in Baltimore, the best live show I've seen in years. Love this band.

[@imargo75]

This must have been the best show in the history of ever to be at.

[@DaveAnchovies]

i saw them in a venue that probably held 100 or so stinky bodies on this tour...and the opening band is Australian band TOTAL CONTROL. one of the best, nothing like Oh Sees, but equal in greatness.

[@joanneberry7521]

Just pure magic my medicine thank you john

[@mikedies89]

Holy hell. Holy fucking hell. Anyone that complains about modern music hasn't seen Thee Oh Sees live. So rad.

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

They've released more albums than anyone in a ten-fifteen year period and they keep getting better, it's insane.

[@nickgirilovitch5428]

Please travel more and play more John Dwyer, please live forever!

[@dylanpohearn]

Anyone know where to find more footage from this show? This was my first Oh Sees show - blew my mind.

[@harryrocks44]

people are having fun, enjoying the moment when it's happening, without filming with their phones while being stoic lil shit, that's so rare today, i wish i could see ppl my age do that more often :)

[@III1236]

this is the best live band playing today. & I have that poster at the beggining of the video!!!! dying for a new album.

[@andlovesaidno19]

definitely lost both my shoes at this show

[@ayberkyuksek7603]

[@mikeoconnell7216]

Oh to be young! Incredible band

[@guido072]

[@The4thGuy]

3:47 A reference to "The Wall?" Epic.

[@jackbudgen8858]

I NEED these guys to come to England!

[@lucassierra8305]

Seeing them in May with the Intelligence. Can't fuckin' wait!!

[@hotchagirl85]

FUCK! I love this band

[@jeeezmaaan]

truly "Warm Slime" at 5:15

[@ericmsandoval]

He's like a mix of Crispin Glover and Conan O Brien

[@chrissavage5298]

And Benjamin Gibbard

[@ohlookseeker]

his eyes look inked in this performance.

[@publicnyc]

i love and need and ugh and thanky heart thanks

[@half-elf]

is the full performacne of this live version of "i was denied" online somewhere? i like it better than the album version. i don't know this band well, but they sound like a west coast ramones! lol

[@brianbrugge]

Miss this venue big time

[@telegrammsamm]

You can still rock in America.

[@Dochotshot]

you can rock anywhere man....

[@dedadoe]

Anywhere.

[@Itsa6stringthang]

Great band !

[@Dunavitzki]

Let me take this nostalgic unlived memory and have it replace something else

[@3goals4bonzai]

i love pitchforktv.

[@Imitablerumble8]

Is that the guitar player from the intelligence playing drums

[@DaveAnchovies]

yes, also drummer for the amazing and seminal AFRAMES---good call. Intelligence are great, but underappreciated. Lars is a super nice fellow. TOTAL CONTROL on this tour...aussie greatness

[@SplittTwig]

his speaking voice sounds just like jack white

[@xlrious1]

dude, the girl at 3:28 next to john. hottest thing ever seeing a girl do that.

[@TheMonolake]

Talk about being plugged in....

[@kevingill2497]

LOVE IT

[@LowHappening87]

its carrion crawler! fucking awesome song!

[@DD055]

Still searching for the entire Video of their performance here (@ 285 Kent). Please, someone help! 😫

[@mikedies89]

It certainly is.

[@slye1991]

Is it just me or does the whole band look exhausted in this video?

[@karlirish8396]

what's the name of the song they used a snippet of to play over the video beginning at 0:10?

[@karlirish8396]

never mind. carrion crawler.

[@pawelbortel]

Guys! What's name of the song at 1:12?

[@keranssdecontrol]

Dead Energy

[@jpinto9935]

how does Dr. Dwyer get the effect at 2:51?

[@reidflemming8458]

Jddj Jdjd - Just need a delay pedal man. turn the repeats up and just hit a note and slide it up. You're welcome ;)

[@jpinto9935]

Reid Flemming thanks!!

[@kylebags81]

Dwyer is using an original Roland Space Echo. an analog tape dealy. Boss just put out a new digital one, but it's not the same as the original one he uses.

[@RegularDude00]

the original one is just to expensive at this point

[@brianraygor3761]

RegularDude also they only used the space echo for vocals and keyboard. A boss dd-3 is all you need

[@sean1hickey]

what is the song at 1:25?

[@buzclatworthy1555]

Sean Hickey if after 4 years you're still wondering, it's called dead energy, from their split with total control

[@Imitablerumble8]

Whats the song at 0:13

[@kylebags81]

Carrion Crawler

[@johanjohnssson]

It's Carrion Crawler

[@93467x]

What the name of the song at 1:18?

[@slye1991]

@bickled HAHA!

[@BLutnz]

[@nicholasazak5653]

[@montsetse]

[@stephenplante2273]
