Cafe OTO - Tuesday 26th September 2017

Love the idea that these songs will only exist in this form this night alone. Beautiful

[@durchreiser6573]

Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny.

I was at this but I was sicknote, and now the whole evening feels like I dreamed it. So, thanks for the footage! It's made me well happy.

Good to see these old friends together again.

40 years of punk rock distilled into a dyad of understanding

[@jlfvrs]

Incredible. Thanks for sharing this man!!!!

[@aaronmoore9055]

Two originals. Thurston’s guitar almost sounds like a completely different instrument. Mikes bass tone is big and full. This two are masters at what they do.

[@elmoblatch9787]

I mean it's not for everybody, but you know if you know that this is for you. There are some really original sounds coming out of these two.

[@davel.9467]

Good shit! Love it!

[@J.Dove3D]

Very cool. "Out" jazz, "tone poem", whatever you want to call it (minus the negative naming some would give,lol), it is a cool jam.

[@peterbee88]

Imagine being able to do that instead of stacking the shelves at Walmart or Tesco's. It must be great 👍

[@adamfindlay7091]

This's nice. Howcome i never heard this b4.😻 Moore has a searching quality; Watts is more arrived and reflective nuance.

[@elliottquent]

Mike makes it sound and feel like were on a boat in the middle of the sea with him

[@elalek8444]

Genios

[@tuskedbeast]

"Noise is only fun for the people playing it" Who said that?

[@blockedyouth]

Another guitarist is Malkmus?

GENIAIS

[@nimusworks5475]

Fuckin Awesome!!!

[@justineaves1977]

Is Watt playin' a Watt?

[@adrianordonez8800]

at 39:17 i would definitely be yelling "FUCK YEAH!!!" goddamn that was ineffably good.

[@santaincarolina6280]

Oh God this reminds of the horrible jams me and friend used to do when we were 15 with shitty multi effects pedals. Love them both but I couldn't tolerate it sit through this

[@Marceu33]

pretty good

[@danielstoddart]

Listen to the interview Thurston did years ago where he talks about how he met Mike Watt. It's one of the funniest things he's ever done. It's here somewhere on KZbin, search for it.

[@billepperson2662]

From the Richard Hell & the Voidoids documentary? Mike eating shellfish & nerding out about how many times Thurston has seen him live?

[@danielstoddart]

@@billepperson2662 Yeah, I think the first time they met Watt was eating nachos and writing stuff furiously on a notepad. Later, they went out for squid and beer.

[@MrUnicornsinmycereal]

Anyone have a clue what tuning thurston is in?

[@Fender420]

Nighty Night

[@jameslarson9583]

I could have sworn I heard some European Son in there.

[@blonieamw2998]

this is great!! ehh i ashed on my leg :/

[@MrPERPS]

Poor Watt,,,,,,like,,,what do I play to this shit?

[@buddhistpriest1357]

That would be cool if Thurston saw a charismatic Sasquatch acknowledge him before diving off the stage at one of his shows.

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

I don’t get the mimicking of Japanese and sitar music

[@travisbishop7212]

Somebody teach this guy a chord please 😮‍💨 Yea I’ll stick with my blue note and prestige lps thank you very much

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

He can play all chord very well. You obviously have know idea how talented Thurston is. He's an accomplished guitar player but prefers to be experimental and I love it.

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

We all like jazz and blues too, doesn't make you an interesting person. I enjoy Enjoy all forms or expressive artwork whether it's by instruments or painting sculpture etc. Don't be a negative creep. I bet you didn't even listen to the whole performance 😢😢😢

[@eliane2743]

C’est globalement très, très, très chiant.

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

They think they’re Hendrix and Noel Redding

[@terrywho22]

Watt is better than Noel Redding. On the other hand...

[@jessenowells2920]

There are infinite possible sound worlds. What's the point of judging the merits of one presentation by criteria antithetical of the type of sound world it reflects?

[@aidanconcannon5710]

@@jessenowells2920 thats a really shitty way of saying "different strokes" but yes I agree

He's only human. He's not the first person to cheat. The thing is I bet you've cheated on a boyfriend or girlfriend once in your whole life, young or old. If you say you haven't you're a liar too.
