Tortoise - I set my face to the hillside

[@geonx001]

tortoise make me feel cooler than i really am

[@itzoccor]

brilliant piece by the way, it is probably inspired by Ennio Morricone (at least the first part), and it has a very "cinematic" feeling. One of the best pieces by Tortoise, in my opinion.

[@MrDaigoRiki]

I Love this song so much, Latin feelings but a little bit sad. Tortoise is one of the most favorite bands on earth. They are awesome.

[@wesdavis7371]

Damnit, I love these guys. This song is one of my particular favorites of theirs. The melodies are astounding. Just fan-damn-tastic.

[@scleralp]

man, this band has started to really blow me away lately with their unique sound and total professionalism.

[@DRA1N0]

Best shaker guy I have ever seen...

[@spencer2112]

zappa would've loved this

[@Gy0952]

[@imj6710]

To think this video uploaded the same year youtube launched.

[@redshaftedflicker]

I really enjoy Tortoise studio recordings but I like them live even more!

[@LiuLoki]

They’re amazing

[@lefty335]

By god I love Doug Mccombs, especially when he's got a bass vi in his hands

[@gibderm]

A lot of research bring me to the belief that his “bass” is actually a baritone guitar

[@TheEpicImpaler]

My new favorite band.

[@beatfox9]

the bells give me the goosebumps. love the sound

[@Gretsche87]

Glass Museum used to be my favourite. Then I heard this. Along the Banks of Rivers is good too.

[@timjmoran]

yes.. it is a semi-hollowbody..it's a Gibson ES -335.Nice guitar..and Parker is a really good guitarist,too!Love Tortoise..I think it's amazing how they sound like no one else out there.

[@pajarraken]

my favorite song of this great group. this is great!

[@soulrider69able]

amazing sound. just brilliant! it´s a pleasure to listen to their music.

[@ziggyflinthawk]

One of the cleverest bands! They always have cool song titles too aha Ever heard of Lucid Rivers?

[@mattwur]

best. band. ever. thank you for this. just caught them in nyc, loved it. wish i could follow them around...

[@tsuboishogo]

I wish I could play the guitar like this

[@sargebaker]

Probably one of the top 2 best shows I've ever seen, alongside Ribot

[@3243_]

One of the best groups around today.

[@Sergio0Oo]

I love this band

[@rodrigorosm]

love the sound . so great sessions

[@Kinshasa9200]

wow i wish Tortoise was on tv in America. like that's gonna happen....

[@dudarstmein]

3:22 was like "why did you stand up man? What was your point?" LOL

[@dactilusokono]

this is the continuation of the art rock of the 60 `s

[@dannyrivas3312]

If you guys like this then check out The Sea and Cake. same drummer

[@Garrison2]

This is awesome!!

[@Satiaraha]

THE FIRST ONE IS A ES-335 and the second one is a FENDER VI that actually is a baritone guitar but by many other people is conceder in like a sixth bass a JAGUAR give you the same tone

[@nightman333]

i liked "swung from the gutters" as well. this song is put together well...

[@AirPickles]

To answer the question as to the whereabouts of this performance: Belgium is the capital of France. duh.

[@ayhanlina]

Ohhh.. That feels good.

[@Satiaraha]

very close my friend is a FENDER VI wich is a varitone guitar or like many people said is a bass

[@badboyrocklobster]

i wish I liked cool music in 2004. i was probably too heavy into Broken social scene and old modest mouse to notice this

[@andredealcarvalho]

Muuito lindo!

[@baytamusic]

that's awesome! i laughed out loud by myself when i read this.

[@GiovanniCarusonrgiga]

...Ennio Morricone...it's easy to find his evidence here (and in a lot of other T. works)...what surprised me was to find out that they know and love Franco Battiato. Totally unexpected..

[@arleyrojas-musico]

Beautiful!

[@MisterHPlays]

@dsmidl I think mostly in their range of instrumentation, and that they have a strong improv feel, but alot more laid back and jazzy in my opinion.

[@4toSensorial]

Jeff Parker is a fuckin' genius!

[@djdamixbe]

It was in Belgium I think... This Tv chanel is from Belgium...

[@badperson3]

Yeah, I definitely hear some Morricone style.

[@KERAKAO]

does anybody have a tab for this? beatiful guitar...

[@encefalenko]

excelente wn la kago grande tortoise

[@Wo1926]

everybody in tortoise is better at drums than most people in my school

[@badboyrocklobster]

oh shit when were they in nashville?

[@julietavalon]

quality one of my favorites:)

[@OldSchoolChinny]

@Aspartamebraintumor: Yes-well spotted! A "Fender Six",essentially a baritone guitar.Pretty rare,and often just presumed to be a Jaguar by the casual observer.

[@gotedgo32]

this show was in bruxelles, belgique

[@dannyrivas3312]

My bad didn't notice also found a new band called Precious Fathers you should check them out.

[@Irv350]

tortoise is excellent

[@enmorefoodbar]

What a great band. There live stuff is even better than their albums. PS if you like this you might like the Little Guy's KZbin clip 'Verabschiedet'

[@rdrik]

pure class

[@WakeUpEveryone]

Hey I noticed you were marked as spam, but its weird cause we do have good taste in music, and i also recommend watching money as debt. its actually quite an eye opener about the international banking system.

[@honeyspur]

So gratifying.....

[@grimshawr]

@TonsofFun777 You'd probably like the album version then. the keys are much quieter. I like this version a little better.

[@playerarota]

looks like a jaguar!! :O

[@ferdmertz]

@bhodes try pell mell - interstate & yawning man - vista point

[@nURoma7]

@DRA1N0 best drummer you will ever see as well

[@playerarota]

synth heavy? this is what makes it sound organical.

[@smart_mouse]

awesome ;>

[@arcrs40]

MUITO BOM

[@hogalicious]

Yup, you're right. Turns out that the song I thought was called "I Set My Face To The Hillside" is really called "Ten Day Interval". A complex way of explaining a simple mistake. My bad!

[@SmudgerTWR]

cheers for adding this. Nice one. Cant wait for the new album now! shameless plugging but, Check out The Window Right. We're from the uk. You might like us if you like Tortoise. Cheers again!!!!

[@Tuna_Casperole]

This is in Belgium.

[@SeafloorReunion]

these guys NEED an accordion player....R.Burger perhaps

[@christianklintholm]

Some kind of vintage Gibson ES-335.

[@aneventwontkill]

One of my fav tortoise songs. thanks a bunch. i cant fucking wait to see these guys this summer.

[@vitorbelfort]

what the fuck are you trying to say son. lets just focus on tortoise while we're here

[@2bin]

Not bad. I think they could've been more tight with the vibraphone work at the end. Both players sounded like they were rushing it.

[@Djnti]

6 people loooooove lady gaga!

[@bhodes]

Can any one recommend some more music in this style? Some modern Spaghetti western style music.

[@ibelieveicansoar]

Scenic - Acquatica (1996); anything by Anouar Brahem / Anouar Brahem Trio; anything by Cul De Sac, especially the album China Gate (1996) and its song “Nepenthe”; Macha’s self-titled album (1998), the instrumentals on Eric Clapton’s Rush soundtrack (1991); anything by Dirty Three; the song “Nomad” by the Aqua Velvets (1996). The Scenic and Macha albums in particular are two of the most mind-bogglingly brilliant ones I’ve ever heard.

[@Dadedrums]

preciosa

[@theonetrueaen]

A Fender Bass VI

[@omni_optometrist]

Check out the band Dirty Three if you love Tortoise.

[@itzoccor]

no, you are wrong, this is called "I set my face to the hillsides" from their 2nd (? not sure) album, TNT.

[@ChaosTitties]

@ferdmertz yawning man is great :)

[@Lucas-bd9nd]

That could easily be a Marc Ribot's song

[@gustaffos]

great... 6/5

[@hogalicious]

This song is not called "I Set My Face To The Hillside". I believe it is a version of "Along The Banks Of Rivers".

[@Timothy2706]

Belgium (Cirque Royal in Brussels)

[@Timothy2706]

La Deux = belgian tv

[@Jomabe]

Unfortunately, they don't use the harmonica, which adds so much to the album version. Without that harmonica chime, this live version seems awkward.

[@vitorbelfort]

this is in france

[@AirPickles]

Of course it was a joke. Everyone knows that France is in fact the capital of Belgium

[@thenowhere4882]

Who's come back here in 2022?

[@iloveyoubebe]

what kind of semi-hollow body guitar is that? or is it a hollowbody

[@mattsargentmusic]

Ches is an awesome drummer, but that's not him playing with Tortoise here. It's Jeff Herndon.

[@onlyanactor]

@dsmidl i bet you can guess why

[@frog606]

Please tell me that "Belgium is the capital of France" was a joke...

[@worldsedgeband]

Nope, It's just Chuck Testa

[@kyleross]

actually its a melodica

[@Smilegyrl222]

Funny. I found this song from my liked videos. But I've Never heard this before. Some weird UtUbe joke? And for the record - I don't like this song, but I also will not give it a red thumb. It's not that bad =)

[@arleyrojas96]

¡ :D !

[@nURoma7]

@rbenitez88 Christian Vander , crazy ass shit

[@Egondv]

LaDeux (the tv channel this is being broadcast on) is from Belgium. So Belgium? Orrr Who gives a shit?

[@TruthSmack]

I strongly recommend watching: money as debt, freedom to fascism, ring of power, 911 mysteries, viberation creates form, behold a pale horse, 2012 enigma, Jim Marrs the 4th reich, the polarity matrix field, Graham Hancock - Quest for the Lost Civilization ,Red Ice TV - Episode 4 - Symbolism in Logos, Indigenous Native American Prophecy, Michael Badnarik's Constitution Class 1 of 43, Consuming Kids:The Comercialisation of Children, Fluoride Deception Part 1, Are You a Sovereign Yet...

[@vk3980]

thank you! ill watch when i get the time!

[@thesoftbulletin]

​@@vk3980did you watch them?

[@Kinshasa9200]

@CowboyMidnight i happily have to disagree; using the word great is not enough to describe this album.

[@DestinyQx]

it almost sounds like a song from final fantasy

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

Is that one of those 6 string "Guitar" basses that fender made along time ago?

[@Alex-jq5ft]

Yep!

[@revo956512]

the video is over now and i just jizzed my pants. shower time =D
