Man, I swear Tpain’s live performances are going to be remembered decades from now

[@MrHalfDoom]

his tiny desk performance was about a decade ago and it still slaps

[@garrettkuracka2277]

@@MrHalfDoomno doubt, but this is so far beyond tiny desk. This was a masterpiece, seriously. I can’t say I’m his biggest fan or know his best work, but I’ve been aware of t pain as a legit artist since tiny desk and have someone kept tabs since…I honest to god don’t think he will ever top this. I mean that with all respect the world, but this must be his magnum opus.

[@Scp716creativecommons]

Yup, i got corrected on tpain by a dude i cooked with throwing up tiny desk, my jaw hit the floor. I've had a number of fun moments since, "orly? Just autotune and club moves? Listen to this." I just said that to my lady this morning, how blown away i was when i heard the man aside from top 10, lowest common denominator, radio friendly boogie tunes. Catchy, fun, but not artistically deep in any way that hooked me. Then i find this... 😳😨🤯

[@desmondsegodi1380]

It's gonna be remembered centuries of now, not decades, this is timeless...

[@brandenwellington1035]

On everything. What he’s doing in this space is otherworldly 🔥

[@user-fp7kn1jk2d]

This could have been a Netflix special 👑🔥👑🔥

God forbid they put quality up. I'd rather he stay true and un influenced this is real soul he's putting out. Is it strange that I feel proud?

Omg yes!

Me too! And I don’t even have very much of that stuff either but I’d scrape it together

That war pigs cover went HARD

[@drsquid8124]

that guitarist just shredded!!

[@craicrai7150]

New t pain respect

[@GoodNewsJim]

Ozzy shouted it out, lol, YES!!! We need more anti war songs... Get some Jump Nyabinghi & War from Marley, Civil War from GNR, Throw away the TV Chillipeppers, Handlebars flobots, etc etc... Keep the anti war song views up, it changes the world.

[@brettskaggs8066]

The war pigs cover is right up there with Denzel Curry covering bulls on parade. Top notch

[@EntG1]

54:22 loved tpain singing in that but was that guitar pre-recorded? sound changed but his fingers stayed in the same spot

[@jerekahunt2415]

THAT DRUMMER IS KILLING THAT BLACK SABBATH 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@therrelllyon196]

Yeeeeesssssss!!!! I’m at that part now. He killed the break down

[@MercuryRisingFast]

Ozzie actually said T's version was the best he'd ever heard. Said he wished he could be onstage with him one day.

[@gemrpt26]

He got the drum set pregant for real.

[@kennethlester9722]

The lead guitar isn't bad either

[@kennethlester9722]

Bravo t pain

[@richarddejoseph7846]

T-Pain cracked the code with the covers album and this live show. Get this man headlining every festival this year. One of the best artists of our generation, I said what I said. A true musician and artist

[@LanceCassidy]

Hard to replicate this type of experience at a festival. I think that was his point - easier to connect with people like this.

[@ericthompson3982]

💯

[@Source293]

You, Sir, get it. As someone deep into soul music (widely understood) history, I'm past the discussion of *whether* he can sing and found myself asking, "Who is he comparable to in terms of vocal range and texture, dexterity across genres, and pure and applied soul?" I started putting him in the conversation with a Frankie Beverly, or (in terms of crooning) Ron Isley. But I could think of no one except Prince who is able to sound this powerful, rich, poignant, and exquisite across SO MANY genres. Obviously, T-Pain doesn't sound like Prince and isn't the interpretive genius Prince is. But I can tell you, from start to finish, I enjoyed this T-Pain concert as immensely as ANY great artist (Marvin Gaye, Chaka Khan, Bon Jovi, Aretha Franklin, and yes, Prince) I've ever listened to.

[@Source293]

@@LanceCassidy I hear you, but there's no doubt T-Pain's got the vocal chops to not just be the headliner but the sole act for a concert and he certain isn't or shouldn't be confined to small spaces.

[@ThereandBackFilms]

You ain’t wrong!

[@AduderReviews]

Brown Sabbath version is pretty damn good too

[@brendo6390]

Yuh

[@davejonesing1018]

According to ozzy it’s the best cover ever

[@ryanbrooks2721]

I'm mostly into the newer more progressive sounding stuff, but have been playing guitar and listening to all sorts of metal for most of my life. The majority of T-Pain's music I've heard has been autotuned radio stuff. I was surprised how well his real voice worked for the War Pigs cover. He fucking killed it. Ozzy Osbourne recently tweeted that T-Pain's cover is the best War Pigs cover he's ever heard.

[@melbright917]

Even his background singers know he’s killing it

[@emperortv767]

That's when you know you're dope...even people in your team go crazy

I don't know y'all but I'm hearing Seal and Michael Bolton lowkey on that riffs and high notes. Is it just me? This got me on repeat 🤌🏼

[@cjkcc5]

Man this band is so locked in! T-Pain singing his face off! You rarely get this type of live recordings anymore! The precision playing and singing is so profound! This was awesome! Well done Fellas! Well Done!!

[@lisabaughn]

This absolutely blew my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cynthiajones6013]

Yessss, T-Pain and The Band are Badddd! Guitar players & drummer Showed Out!

[@SamG.-pq8tv]

T Pain didn't use autotune, autotune used T Pain. This performance was 10/10. The arrangements, the backing vocals, the musicians, the song choice, and just the overall vibe was excellent. Will watch again.

[@marcc.5535]

FACTS!

[@lorit4320]

Agree 💯

[@animateddream1035]

People don't understand. You have to be able to sing to make auto tune sound good lol

[@MattWebz]

@@animateddream1035no

[@shortiewaswo]

I know it's been said a hundred times in the comments but I gotta say it again... Yes, T-Pain is amazing, but the whole band and backstage production were so tight the production was next level!

[@jacksonmutunga2829]

This is superstardom for sure. To be able to perform that catalogue you need to be a superstar and him with the band were all superstars.

[@brantmccracken2926]

I’ll probably be coming back to watch this about once a week till the day I die. This man is a generational talent. A living legend.

[@joschhooth80]

[@timthompson2406]

I'm on watch 3

[@brantmccracken2926]

If anyone was wondering… yes, I’m still coming back. Man is the GOAT‼️

[@Nftees.buysellfade]

I made the “stink face” at least 100x during this performance Arguably one of the best live performers of our generation. Don’t @ me

[@BenjahMedia]

OK "War Pigs" just blew my mind! 🔥

[@bignasty389]

Good lord what a performance. How anyone crammed so much talent onto a single stage is beyond me. Everyone was completely on point. I’m watching this on my phone and there’s just no reason I should be this hyped from images and sound on a screen. Absolutely incredible. You’re a god damned sorcerer T-Pain.

[@tjax2max215]

That ‘Tennessee Whiskey’ 🥃 was Legendary Fam 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿Band is Legitimate 🆒👍🏿👍🏿

[@jskn15]

This is kind of what we have been lacking in African American music. It is great to see someone stand and deliver a true rhythm and blues song. Sing young man sing!

[@TroikaMexicana]

Hey don’t hog it all for yourselves! Every race can enjoy this absolutely gorgeous live set 😊 Stunning vocals T!

[@freefoodtv]

Stop with African American. no other race has a continent in front of where they’re from prior 😂

[@anthonyespino7478]

It never left, you’re just looking in the wrong places

[@callmeLetr0]

Listen to king fish my friend many more of course there out there

[@txo_txo8972]

If you think there are no black musicians putting out amazing music currently, you simply haven't been following the music that's out there.

[@mariomaleski8382]

“I don’t want to be” at 22:45 is the most fire thing I’ve ever heard.

[@vig8307]

Wow, just wow!! Wonderful band, wonderful background singers, wonderful arrangements, wonderful natural voice T Pain! So glad you are sharing your natural singing voice with the world.

[@N.Fact03]

As a black person that listens to a lot of rock, I really wish more contemporary black artists would cover rock. Some of the greatest songs of all time transcended spaces like that. Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix tossing records back and forth between each other gave us two incredible renditions of “All Along The Watchtower”. And let’s not forget: Michael Jackson and Prince. A ton of great music to cover that brings a whole new sound and feel. A ton of great new music we could make if we saw contemporary black artists transcend their core genre(s) to come find out they have more range than they actually do through experimentation.

[@Millie-um2bi]

Living Colour too!

[@bmac4]

Rock doesn't happen without Black artists. Whether it be the blues greats of Robert Johnson or Sister Rosetta Tharpe, to some of the genre's first greats like Chuck Berry or Little Richard, the heart and skeleton of the genre are deeply rooted in Black American cultural input.

[@N.Fact03]

@@bmac4 certainly don’t disagree. That’s why I want to see more!

[@nnebundoannaobi1386]

I agree, music is a smorgasbord and we can taste and see what's out there

[@brandonstiffler4937]

It would hopefully give black artists more exposure and respect for their talents as well. Many, like T-Pain, are underated vocalists and musicians.

[@tracycarter5617]

T-PAIN has such a versatile voice he can sing R&B country and Rock well he has a versatile singing tone and style 👍

[@bealyne75]

We can't forget about his hip hop too.

[@dylannowak3226]

Like Teddy Swims or Chris Stapleton

[@obedchibuikem]

The Production of this show is unbelievable 👏🏽 🔥 🙌🏽

I love T’Pain’s personality. His talent is amazing but his personality just shines through. I’m a huge fan.

[@KadintheGuitarDude]

Came for the War Pigs cover, stayed for everything else. This is legit one of the best live sets I've ever watched, in any genre. So good

[@Cmcmillen77]

He's giving us all the hits from when he was on Masked Singer!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I missed him bc I rarely watch that show. I love his voice and talent!!!! Thanks for sharing and educating for those that didn't know.
