Tim Minchin "Dark side" (Sydney Symphony Orchestra)

[@crazyratlady3026]

Lol the "argument" between the piano and the drums is what I live for 😂😂😍😍

[@Luka_WiFi]

yeah, that guy is really deep!

[@tl73_]

deep as, bro

[@oliversherrington1333]

Seriously, the back and forth between Tim and the drummer is a demonstration of 2 absolutely amazing musicians. Who the hell has the balls to improvise like that in-front of an enormous crowd? Hilarious and impressive at the same time.

[@troygardner1610]

As a Dixie jazz, live Looper and from a cadre of like.ends chasing similar ends ..it runs

[@Markalodon]

That moment the drummer riffs off the boom mic says everything

[@crieverytim]

That part is pretty sloppy actually. But they're having fun so it works

[@crieverytim]

Tons of bands and artists improvise in front of massive crowds. All your classic rock bands for starters. That was the norm. And the Grateful dead improvised most of their shows around a handful of songs. Same goes for all of jazz, though typically they aren't playing in an arena.

[@crieverytim]

Though you gotta hand it to Tim to have the balls to play w a professional orchestra. Those guys are unforgiving - meaning they are tight so any sloppiness on Tims part would be very evident. Just watch Dave Mustaine biff it when he played w an orchestra.

[@burnt520]

holy shit he's a fucking legend, no joke

[@hdbsidjjk]

straught up the best version, his antics with the drummer and the conductor were comedic icing on the musical cake

[@Son0fHobs]

I love how Tim messes with the drummer through that whole back and forth instrumental part.

[@frankG335]

This piano solo is different from the other recording... the chords are rhe sane but he us literally improvising sections, within certain boundaries. What a blast!

[@ReallyGottaTap]

I've seen a bunch of versions of Dark Side and this one is one of the best, but they are all fabulous. All different. All Tim, all the time.

[@bronwyntully6058]

I adore Tim Minchin, however surprisingly 1st time time I've seen this version of 'Dark Side'! As already mentioned a few times on here, the interaction with the drummer is genius musically by both!

[@GarryOzols]

This was even more awesome live. the entire concert was amazing.

[@terrapinflyer273]

When they both flipped their hair while facing off lmao. Omg that was great!

[@ProHobbyjogger]

The interplay with Ben Vanderwal (sp?), the drummer, is so fun here. Love the dueling hair flips and the weaponization of the damper. Absolutely no offense to the HO’s drummer, Brad Weber, but although they’re both obviously fantastic musicians, Ben seems to just be having a blast. Very fun to watch.

[@featherhailglimmer4249]

those piano skills man, I'm so jealous right now

[@olympe6609]

You could learn :)

[@katebrentley7319]

Yeah I play piano, you need years and years of practice for that, I’m no where as good still.

[@Son0fHobs]

OMG, I love that drummer and Tim's awesome play back and forth with him! (4:25 - 5:34 ) Like any comedian, I love how Tim does improve with his playing, interactions, and comments within lyrics. Love this version, thanks for the upload! 9:10 - 9:40, freaking hilarious.

[@Irishglen6]

This folks is where genius and insanity come together in a place masterfully done. Bravo Tim!!!!

[@Kellerw2000]

"[...] He's not mentally ill, he's a genius. Which is a mentally ill person with an audience" - Tim Minchin Man said it himself.

[@prunelle9051]

AMAZING. Thank you. Always a lot of fun.

[@Always-fd7pk]

How does this have only ~60 000 views??? Outrageous

[@EPrimeify]

I’LL COME TO YOUR BALL GAMES, TIIIIIM!

[@davec-1378]

Love the Minch! He’s just lovable, talented and just entertaining. So many great songs that I enjoy for so many different reasons. If I could go back in time his concert with the Sydney Orchestra would be a top 3 I would want to have seen.

[@Fire_Crystal]

I love how the song changes every time he plays it

[@emilysamanthataylor]

im that woman with the shaker

[@sebastianroberts9988]

You did a splendid job

[@nitra01]

That was absolutely amazing.

[@emilyflotilla931]

Cool! Lucky you!☘☘

[@Master_Exploder5000]

My personal favourite performance of Dark Side (A little biased tough as heritage orchestra was the first Tim Minchin special I watched).

[@emilyflotilla931]

BEST VERSION!

[@michelleford8853]

fINALLY sOmEoNE whO uNNNNNDERstands!!!!!

[@anEyePhil]

This is the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, before it was renovated and the acoustics improved.

[@nadavdueber9488]

2:30-4:15 and 5:45 to the end are my favorite parts (for my future use)

[@goniakarczewska3966]

Genialny!!!

[@MichaelAutism]

the part where he scares the freaking conductor is hilarious (9:09)

[@juliearnold5412]

having a Dark Day so visiting before signing off I have 1 grandson here but I miss my other grandson and family jay

[@DBG4ME]

Amazing.

[@jao2914]

Just brilliant

[@juliearnold5412]

FANTASTIC ALTERNATIVE JAY

[@aleoscargentinator]

Thank you Douglas...

[@eduraavida2702]

Amo essa música nunca deixo de ouvir

[@douglaslawrie3449]

wtf, good sound quality on the best song ever, only 72 views. this must be a new vid.

[@frankG335]

He's so playful!

[@ruffusdawes8203]

How many days and hours did it take to put this concert together? It would have be been awesome to see live for sure. What an awesome piece of work and talent and skill by all involved. Well done Aussie.

[@bronwyntully6058]

Given that Tim had also sold out at Royal Albert Hall London for 2 nights (2nd evening was Prince William and Catherine's Wedding Day) !! I'd say he knew what he was doing at The Sydney Opera House

[@bigo3ppp]

capo argentinator

[@bronwyntully6058]

Does anyone know what Tim says to the conductor after the foot slap on the piano?? I think I heard, "I'll talk to you later" - and another person on here thinks he heard "I'll make love to you later" Anyone with any other idea?

[@angelinasepulveda2160]

Something something "make love to you later or "I'll make it up to you later" I've been wondering the same thing and relistened to it so many times. Who knows.

[@juliearnold5412]

for JEN as usual

[@acdones8793]

I'm ⚛️ too

[@juliearnold5412]

I CAN HAVE A DARK SIDE TOO I HAVE EARNED IT JAY

[@emilyflotilla931]

I have one, at 66 I've earned it!

[@Fire_Crystal]

Like 30 of the views on this are mine

[@hharts83]

I think I’m responsible for about 50 of them. 😬

[@annikaaberg847]

648 when i saw this. it's good song

[@juliearnold5412]

BYE JEN I WILL GO HOME TO WALES AS SOON AS I CAN i give up on reaching out to my FAMILY

[@ginamcdonald7854]

What does Tim say to the conductor after he steps on the piano?? I’ve listened so many times and just can’t hear what he says.

[@bronwyntully6058]

I think he says "I'll talk to you later" LOL.... Because I doubt the conductor was excepting to be nearly deafened by Tim Foot

[@SeasonsChange14]

Actually, I think he says," I'll make love to you later." Doesn't make sense to me but that's what I heard.

[@bronwyntully6058]

@@SeasonsChange14 Yeah that make total sense, being Tim!

[@liandel]

he said : so i'll make love to you later

[@lighthouse1413]

Sorry, very late to the party, but I'm pretty sure it's "I'll make it up to you later."

[@crieverytim]

Sloppy but still fun

[@guybarton2103]

[@gogo2495]

this video has so awful sound from the 3rd minute....

[@emilyflotilla931]

I'm just enjoying his genius!

[@dasfeenfleisch8775]
