Dude listen from 7:44 to 8:34 and tell me this man is not a genius. Dopest groove line I've ever heard in my life. Historic

[@Obiwannabe]

Very Jaco. Love it.

[@adolfolopez7880]

lotus and the jondy

[@UkuleleAversion]

The harmony too. It sounds ominous and unsettled just like the lyrics for the song.

[@collinkeller1498]

reminds of of jaco or manring

[@fortnumsound2668]

He’s not a genius. But he is pretty damn amazing.

[@herpderp7957]

Kamasi gives me goosebumps

[@nadominhoca]

Amen brother! Me too!

[@joebandana1]

That Kamasi Washington solo though!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@myascott155]

Straight FIRE, The intense growling is amazing

[@nadominhoca]

@@myascott155 He is a BEAST!!!

[@charlesrichards5179]

@@nadominhoca overrated

[@michaelk3078]

That first sax solo by Kamasi is of COLTRANE level.

[@Kurrency1911]

Probably one of the better live performances I’ve seen on KZbin from Thundercat ... give him a full accompaniment and it’s pure gold

[@nadominhoca]

Indeed! This one and the BBC Concert are REALLY good! The good Thundercat days prior to his shift to a more groovy sound...

[@nadominhoca]

Kamasi's solo on the first song is brutal!! What a beast!!

[@ColynKirkland]

Somewhere, SOMEWHERE, the full audio to this concert exists, AND I WANT IT!!! LOL

[@massimilianogajo7811]

13:40 thundercat enjoying what he's playing

[@DocteurBloups]

Those kind of music give me the feeling of living in a perfect future.

[@nubient]

he da man

[@WrongButtonGames]

The mix on this thing is perfect, this is the ideal video of Thundercat live.

[@CaShLA00]

I wish I can see him live one day

[@lisaj4698]

you can, he is touring the states, tix are usually 20 - 40 bucks at smaller venues.

[@elmamba7495]

I’ll be listening to some random ass music and then just think of this performance and get goosebumps i watched this video like 50 times in the past month

[@jrivtechv]

Just finished a gig where I played Thundercat. Just wanted to pay homage lol

[@haft2beu]

ahh I haven't listened to thundercat in a week. Feels like coming home :D

[@Theflowoflove]

Thundercat becomes each note he plays & I love the bass, never heard him play this guitar before.

[@Jakeman90210]

+Theflowoflove I don't think he does play guitar

[@finlaydegrauwe]

It's a six string bass :)

[@Jakeman90210]

0satanisboring0 Its a BASS guitar

[@Jakeman90210]

0satanisboring0 it's A bass guitar

[@Theflowoflove]

Sorry folks, i meant to say bass guitar.

[@TheInternetusername]

Drummer sounds so tasty, how does the snare sound that good!!

[@livinginyourhead7333]

Because Noisegate+Compressor

[@LJLiveLV]

Moongel!

[@notabubba8976]

Because he’s Ronald Bruner

[@vincentsmith3244]

TheInternetusername what's the durmmer name he's killing it

[@jovanalexander6804]

Because ron is using four of them

[@daveking8259]

There must be some serious air-conditioning in the club with all the felt jackets!

[@kamaukirikouraxi8272]

Nah. Its just that they're so cool that they don't sweat

[@antoniomiraval4157]

HA!

[@bigben1986]

HA HA!!

[@washintonmadeira7496]

Beauty knows no pain. :)

[@UkuleleAversion]

Mans not hot!

[@ActualKaktus]

Drummer: My live rig requires two kits Thundercat: Mine requires three

[@Atominey]

I wish footage of the full gig was released :(

[@TheCarlosBill]

This spectacular blend of soul and jazz that Thundercat, Kamasi and every guy who plays in the band do is a voyage to Jupiter...with tickets to come back! Like Cannonball Adderley and Miles davis and the West Coast Jazz, I call this sound the Avenues Sound. So cosmopolitan, with some feeling from roads surrounded by green fields. Even when I play my music on bass I feel that way.

[@ANTHONYCUSHEN]

more uk please. Yes you will not make a loss!! we are all awaiting

[@jazzydynamo]

This video make me fly around universe this man Is a fucking jazz genius

[@vernellthomas6644]

I missed Thundercat but I'm gonna see Kamasi this month! Can't wait

[@cmathews5909]

+Vernell Thomas If you near Atlanta, he's playing on memorial day weekend. Kamasi will here also on Wednesday.

[@vernellthomas6644]

+C Mathews thanks man!!! I'll let my boy know he stays out there

[@weskercorleone]

Just saw Kamasi in Montreal last night and it was a fantastic show.

[@RENTCONDOSINFLORIDA]

Them man is a GENIUS. The Beacham in Orlando will never be the same!!

[@TheCarlosBill]

Woooow man, it's just...hahaha I closed my eyes and was like, in a Nirvana mind vibe in a green field with tall trees sparsely placed here and there, and birds and the nice Sun bringing such a magnificence which is for me the essence of Peace & Love...like they used to say in Woodstock and the Summer of Love...and real and fantasy reminiscences were all in my mind as one, and Happiness is all I felt. Thundercat simply transcends it all; again DAYLIGHT his super bass showcase, with him and Kamasi displaying beautiful flurries of notes and which are so soothing...the next tune well I mean...like, hard bop, soul, or free melodic music and that's all? Sure Thundercat created a really totally new style in music. Others are exceptional players, but he is far beyond them all. Total freedom of spirit, I guess. He's tremendous!

[@Chriss123HD]

Thundercat is feeling the music for sure haha 13:53

[@FlasKamel]

Any idea what track that is, if any?

[@PartridgeFamm]

Seven, although I'm not entirely certain.

[@FlasKamel]

I found out ! It's an extended version of the outro of "Is it love?"

[@user-jz4ey8nb6b]

mmmhmm arranged version

[@gregorbajc4541]

Wish I could see him with this arrangement of musicians, great set up

[@BAPSOC]

The full version of this has to be out there somewhere

[@MrLordHasta]

[@Joshualbatross]

The bass solo at 9:15 is absolutely mind bending. What planet is this guy from?

[@tonydynamite33]

Yeah it´s sick!

[@Marekki2202]

Oh, he's from Melmac

[@ActualKaktus]

A planet with feline overlords.

[@jovanalexander6804]

Bass utopia

[@UkuleleAversion]

He's from the shed. He had to practice smart and for hours everyday to get to that point.

[@ashashley3121able]

Heaven. Heaven...

[@niceguyvillain]

The video is edited in a way that cuts off thundercat when he's improvising, that's just awful!

[@panchoquai]

It is what it is... Sorry pal

[@niceguyvillain]

Did you do the editing for this video?

[@panchoquai]

+niceguyvillain video is part of an interview with images of the show, this is the musical extract

[@niceguyvillain]

Anyways, no need to apologise as I'm sure you had your reasons for editing it the way you did. You can't please everyone

[@Atominey]

+niceguyvillain the guy has only uploaded what was available, if the cinematographers had included footage of the entire gig in their documentary i'm sure @panchoquai would have included them in this upload.

[@dharper18]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@clxrr502]

Thundercat dripping in that Pendleton though.

[@radikbrasil]

The groove from 04:13 on is just superb! The head just can’t stop moving

[@matheusmendes536]

Yeahh i wonder if it is a released track

[@natew9087]

I think listening is probably a good thing to start with. The ears are good for that, you all use your eyes, I find they are not quit as good. but that is just me....

[@youngsoulmusic4614]

I want that jacket cat !!

[@ramalonzo5819]

crazy

[@DarrenBlacketer]

It's like his notes don't make sense yet they make perfect sense it's like he has brought peace from chaos I hope this doesn't sound like a disrespectful comment it's supposed to be a compliment

[@stephek2640]

10:37 thru 11:05 that’s the torch🔥!!!

[@CraigTravis]

As good a performance as this was, TC's jacket is fucking incredible.

[@gregoryvaughan2640]

Maybe I could take on the name "OLD cat" You are very young but a GREATcat You are always playing "THEsong". You may not be the quote bass players' bass player. The way you stick to the song makes you my kind of bass player. I realize many bass players my age may be offended by your musicality as a bassist as if it's some sort of crime now to be so young and so great, so innovative, yet so traditional. So impossible. 'Twas impossible to conceive for all who pulled out early. Some squirrels will never get their own nut and will always be a starving speck tater. "Woodshed?" is an action, place, state of mind forever focused on things presently impossible without perseverance, I think.
