This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thank you so much for blessing us with this brilliant music. I hope to shake your hand one day and thank you in person.

Our Tigran is so talented and super awesome that Putin himself is his drummer.

my favotite youtube video. gob bless tigran hamasyan.

He's come close, but Tigran has never topped this performance/live album. This is him at his peak.

[@lucas-kf8ws]

I agree. This is Tigran at his best. And the bar is pretty high!

[@kentosalazar]

listening to Tigran's music is like experiencing a wonderful dream

[@lucas-kf8ws]

absolutely agree. the most wonderful of dreams!

[@wonjelee543]

First time I saw this concert on youtube was four years ago. One of few concerts that literally stopped my breathe.

[@dkyoandblade]

I saw him live in Los Angeles, and I had this exact same experience. I was hardly able to draw a breathe.

[@RoxyLight-1988_Bryansk]

Искренне желаю вам вдохновения и искромётного потока свежих творческих идей!

[@stacyemelineclaire]

That 20' ish minutes version of The Poet is one of favorite moment of live music... It's insane, beautiful and majestic !

[@davidgee4260]

the terms 'The Shit' or 'Sick' apply. Pushing the envelope, not rehashing the old order is so fresh to my ears. Thank you

[@antoniocastillo9218]

I try to avoid listening to my favorite artist to keep their music fresh, but the ending melody Ben plays on Road Song gets me every time. Court Jester and Alternate Universe are marvelous as well, this whole show is top notch start to finish. It must be so much fun to play this live.

[@kentosalazar]

funny thing is no matter how many thousands of times i listen to Road Song, i can't get tired of it 😌 no other song like it

[@pereajose3282]

the music of Tigran is coming from nowhere and thé grâce hé's got in his game of playing thé keyboards and thé piano comes directly from heaven...God Bless U 😊

[@patrickbg110]

The performance of Alternative Universe from this concert is one of the greatest bits of piano playing of all time and that is a *fact*

[@UkuleleAversion]

He’s constantly blasting past my very high expectations. There are so many solos he’s done where I have that exact reaction, “This is probably the greatest piano solo I’ve ever heard”. Recently I’ve been obsessing over his piano solo on Memories from Hankavan and Now (off “New Era”).

[@lucas-kf8ws]

The performance of Alternative Universe is one of the greatest moments in music history, in my humble opinion. Absolutely fantastic!

[@user-yn2ct2ie9m]

I desire so much what was underlining that stage. Pure spiritual experience

[@user-mh7hg1gl7u]

Вот когда подобная музыка будет набирать сотни миллионов просмотров, тогда мир будет идеален!!! 🥰

[@ArsenYagdjyan]

Shat shnorhakal em qez, Tigran djan)))

[@uwespielt]

Was für ein Hammer! Ein Zusammenfassung des Lebens, mit all seinen Höhen und Tiefen. Übermenschlich virtuos und gleichzeitig zutiefst Emotional. Wunderbar zu sehen wie die Musiker untereinander kommunizieren und trotz dieser Komplexität offensichtlich viel Spaß haben. Besonderes zwischen ihm und seinem exzellenten Drummer funkt es permanent. Solche rhythmische Verschiebungen habe ich sonst noch nirgendwo gehört. Und dann dieser engelsgleiche Gesang oben drüber und der Bass wie ein Fels in der Brandung. Ich bin begeistert!

[@damonmcrea1275]

this is Tigran's kid in a candy shop track. I saw him during this tour at the RIP SF Yoshi's. he's clearly got his his ear to the ground and dubstep is not lost on him, such a treat during the set

[@morkmon]

I was worried this was gone permanently, thanks for (re-)uploading it. It's honestly one of the greatest concerts ever recorded

[@silhy37]

I agree.

[@spangalang]

100% agree. Watched it easily 20 times back in 2014-2015 when it was available!!

幸せな時間をありがとうございます。

[@MusicalPhliosophy]

I watch this and I think, this is probably among humanity's greatest achievements. I watch this and I feel like it's worth putting up with all the horrors of this world. We can actually create this. Emotions, pure artistic bliss, otherworldly feelings. Think of all the generations of humans and all the time and research and discoveries it took to invent all these instruments? Think of the thousands of years of cultural evolution to create musical theory, in different forms, from different cultures, all here colliding into one great achievement. Think of all the technological achievements needed to record and film the show. And same goes for the computer I'm writing on right now. This is overwhelmingly beautiful. Humanity is a beautiful thing, when you give it a chance. I hit the 10:19 mark has i finish writing this, and I've got goosebumps all over my very human body. Love you all internet dwellers with impeccable music taste. May your life be filled with wonders and surprises.

I love you, man. Thanks for writing this.

Your music gives a person strength to carry on. Such a phenomenal concert, with outstanding videography that you and this amazing band deserved. So great to see you blow the minds of thousands of people there in Paris. I hope you come back to Boston in '22. Thank you, Tigran. Cheers and God bless.

[@dedompler]

If I might ask, would you consider it necessary to look up the translations for all of Tigran's lyrical work? I feel like I'm missing a bit on an emotional level since I can't understand Armenian. I'm a musician and composer so I can start to parse it on a technical & theory basis, but I want to understand it further.
