You know you've heard something special when the live performance is better than the studio recording. What a band

[@oSTEHo]

I am a fucking consumer and I like it! Point

[@Magoots521]

Seen them 4x before and each show has been so unique and mind blowing. I will never get over this band. It's a life experience to see them live and I'm going again tonight!

[@tristanvadimterranova8053]

I fully agree.

Me too! Send help in a few days!

[@flarkityt]

Let the bassline put you into trance, slow those biorhythms down and you will survive on pure harmonic energy for another week or 3

[@akumal1985]

Grooviest bass player ever.

[@karenvarian1174]

Love the bass player!!

[@standardofexcellence]

My fave

[@JohnWilliamsFromBluff]

Groovy movin, but he's not actually playing a groovy bass line (for my taste, anyway) I'm a bass player, and I'm soo bored with music where the bass does basically nothing except mirror the kick drum ... (boom - boom - boom, boom - boom) sigh ...

[@jpaytonk]

Yeah... well, that's just like, your opinion man.

[@JohnWilliamsFromBluff]

Haha! Too true.

[@HuggableThorn]

Can't stop listening to this song on repeat. I don't think there is a cooler fucking song.

[@mikemichael777]

This song is so underrated, beyond its time

[@johndorn2450]

Took my daughter to see TC at Summerfest in Milwaukee a few years ago. We got all worked up with the warm-up band and got front and center. The sun went down, the lights came on, the fog rolled in off of Lake Michigan and the show was ON! Such a great concert and an unforgettable night.

[@minutesagoedited9761]

This tune reminds me a little bit of Soulfly

[@BatoCongo88]

[@zaineba7319]

You know why ? Because people who listen to rock / metal generally have a great music taste. So whenever there is something good enough , you'll vibe to it

Thought you had write a "Heavy Mentallist" Lol

[@juanadeasbaje5126]

I worked at this coffee shop for few yers , thats how i got to listen TC , they are awesome .

Feb, 2020 ... still watching and listening a few times a week or more. It’s not only the music, it’s watching fellow humans passionately digging the sounds they are making together as much as I am.

[@mikeyore14825]

One of the greatest performances in years. A seminal song from a seminal band. Bonkers cool. I play it every day.

[@t.danwich4661]

Usually, If I hear a song/beat just once, I'll always love it. This is one of those beats.❤😎

[@SEAPanel]

Rob Garza is kind of a contemporary Barry White in that he seems to be in love with the sound itself and he'll do whatever it takes to get the sound right. A band half as good as TC would hire a half-arsed sitar player or just do it with synth. But Garza and Hilton just do what it takes to make it unforgettable.

[@captainbart]

They made the Motor City vibrate 2 weeks ago. Most lumenaries blow thru town, do the set list, an encore, and its back to the hotel. Not TC. They knocked down the wall, took the audience wherever, and than went across the street clubbin', with the fans. Seasoned yet fresh, TC is as "tight" as any Motown group, and as tough as any Detroit garage band.

[@hedshovel]

I love Thievery Corporation, they are an awesome band! But I had to laugh to myself when I read the comment about the sitar... honestly, it's nothing special... it's downright basic. Still, it fits the music, fits the vibe.

[@craigdamage]

Screw chord changes. Find an awesome groove and stay on it. This totally rocks. It could have gone on for twenty more minutes and that would have been too short.

[@suzybeza9412]

You are totally right!!!

[@castbreeder1]

any music without groove feels just empty, dull...

Just watched the movie "Side Effects" which has this song in it! I had to come here to visit who these talented people are! The music is hypnotic and alluring! And it's not every day that you can find a group with a sitar and just want to rock out! Love!

[@py_a_thon]

Check out Mdou Moctar and thank someone else for something else later. They don't use a Sitar, yet there is a sort of cultural universality to how they play electric guitar (and sing).
