can anyone else agree with me that this live session is fucking produced perfectly

[@bugmachine777]

Yes I agree wholeheartedly

[@antonioaguiar5071]

Amen

[@tarsier419]

THAT'S KEXP, BABY!

[@JTHelectronics]

2 years later and this still bumps harder than the album. Squealer two is the heaviest version I've ever heard

[@elchiponr1]

agreed

[@Elevantband]

This might be the greatest ever KEXP performance.

[@mhbackman]

Years on, I think this may be accurate. For me, anyhow! I come back to this one (and 'The Oh Sees' one) weekly!

[@thisisgignhq.mymenaredeado8094]

King gizzard has some good performances though.

[@kostaskonstantinidis7318]

probably the best in this style of music, yes!

[@robertoseveno]

Damn right. Equal to 60s classics

[@robertoseveno]

@@mhbackman Yes!

[@alexadame8121]

This KEXP recording sounds better than the actual recorded album. The energy, overall sound, and quality just rips. Absolutly love coming back to this. If 6:24 doesn't wake you up, you might already be dead.

[@modularmountain3910]

The umbilical chord on the mic stand really brings the room together

[@alexmalch]

7 years, still the best

[@chiefbraun570]

Man I remember watching this when I was 16. I had gotten the cd at my local record store. This was so new to me but I absolutely loved this entire album. Not being able to see him live during this tour because all the shows were +21 still saddens me to this day. However, this performance yet remains as one of my favorites in music these last couple of years.

[@willstonedrummer]

At 7:13 when he hits the keyboard note with the rickenbacker and then proceeds to phase that shit out. . . priceless. Such a good performance

[@Terriorcell]

Sick ass fucking move

that line up, jesus. can we all agree this is maybe one of the greatest musical colabs of our time.

[@phantazmadroidz]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA on keyboard and guitar.

[@brianmathews2926]

The breakdown on Emotional Mugger is unbelievable, completely subverts the bizarre ridiculousness of the start of the performance into a pure, focused, beautiful psych rock lazer beam to the melted face we all found ourselves in possession of in that moment. And then Big Baby Man lol. What a wild ride.

[@elchiponr1]

that last part rocks so hard

[@ffgg2402]

I gotta agree about the best performance of all time. I've come back to watch this more than anything. Makes the album sound very hollow . Sick performance

[@edbeckert370]

Yeah, this is a much more dynamic performance than than any of the album cuts.

[@hfab_jzx]

This performance destroyed the speakers on my laptop. Worth it.

[@josh0g]

I remember at the time being like "what the hell, Ty?" because Cheryl's trying to do an interview, and he's just totally derailing it. Later on, I loved it, and I come back to this perfomance a lot. Next time he came, he apologized and was like "I'll do a real interview this time, Cheryl" and said he got calls from friends thinking he was on drugs like "are you okay?

[@stanthonyspray]

That’s exactly how I feel watching babies run around so I’d say it’s pretty accurate 👶

[@averageslacker6054]

He simply needs a new mommy

[@brianmathews2926]

Give Cheryl credit for how seamlessly she both managed this chaos and also enabled it to be exactly what it was

[@RickyLeggee]

@@brianmathews2926 yeah I had no idea who she was until I started watching these and gained mad respect for how she just let it ride with this one. She even took the imaginary acid that he offered her without hesitation. She knows what’s up.

Nice. Good job. Thanks for that. I think this is his best band. Love this stuff.

[@johncaberton9378]

Why aren't there people around me that also enjoy this?

[@ElGuayo]

Because people that enjoy this are not the most social beings xd

[@ElGuayo]

I fucking love it tho'

[@dawsonnichols3166]

i ask myself this question every fucking day

[@justinr420]

man whats weird is the ppl around me that enjoy this wear it like a band tshirt and its equally as frustrating.

my whole band loves the shit out of it

[@FUZZWAHH]

Think Ty peaked here. I always return to this.

[@andrewm7317]

Nahh

[@iwillnevergetone5]

holy shit, Baby Big Man is my new jam. the group vocals (doing the harmony throughout the whole thing )really make the track. But then again, with this lineup of players in the band, i'm not surprised it turned out this fucking awesome. Thanks again KEXP. another one

Best KEXP performance ever and I've done the block here

This is by far one of the best performances I have ever heard

[@jimmy-breeze]

The people that ty segall has connections with are amazing. King Tuff on guitar, Cory Hanson from Wand on synth/keyboard/guitar, and Mikal Cronin on bass.

[@KingBoner]

He's also good friends with John Dwyer. What a guy.

[@puspokamen8156]

Craziest performance I've ever seen at KEXP!

[@rosemadelynvlogs]

These KEXP performances are gettin me through high school! I started getting into king gizzard through KEXP and there's so much more to listen to I love it

[@violoncello42]

Only one word for this: iconic.

[@kevinkinkaid8694]

I think this is one of the best live recorded performances of all time.

[@mhbackman]

Baby Big Man (I Want a Mommy) is 100000x better here than on the studio recording! It loses all the manic screaming and desperation that is present in this performance. So unique.

[@yourrealdad9442]

Also spawned the whole "Cheryl being a mom" thing

[@Rubberfooted]

Legendary.

[@JoeSarasa]

totally agree

[@sportsfreundberlin]

True for the entire album. Prefer this performance over the Emotional Mugger album.

[@usernamesnamesnames]

i'm discovering it right now in this live and I have no intention of listening to the studio recording, or stop listening to this version until I have to sleep or something.

Seeing Ty and the Muggers live was everything a rock show should be. Felt like watching Sabbath or Zeppelin in their best days.

[@Christhyfy]

Already the best KEXP performance of this year! hahahahaha sick dude.

[@jimmyjazz95]

YESS! Ty is an album writing machine. Emotional Mugger was definitely his strangest album to me when I first listened, but it very quickly grew on me. Still not my favorite of his albums, but its very different, which is more important I think. His last three albums have been hugely different in style which I like more than anything. Keep the fresh music coming please Ty :)

[@nadioromad216]

In ty and the freedom band’s 2017 kexp performance, he and cheryl briefly reminisce about this performance and the whole cheryl-as-ty’s-mommy bit, and he’s like “oh yeah, after that last kexp show everyone was asking me like “dude are you ok?” and i laughed so hard at that, remembering how blown away i was when i first saw this performance. I play this so many times, its one of my go-to paper-writing shows.

[@leithatex]

This is my favorite Ty Segall album yet. I can't get over how psych and strange it sounds. Love it!!!!

[@Lincolnlogsoff]

This forever cements Ty Segall as a God.....Like there's no album like this, and he pretty much produces his albums by himself

[@peopleorthings]

Emotional Mugger is his best album, hands down.

[@MarceloHenkin]

+People Or Things in my opinion it's his second best album, after Melted

[@peopleorthings]

I thought Melted compiled his catchiest tunes but lacked the immersive concept of this album.

You mean Emmett? Legendary.

[@JoeSarasa]

Ty is one of my favourite humans in the universe

[@BendikKeymer]

This is the single most "perfect" KEXP set I've seen. It's effortless, masterful, and blows the KEXP 4th wall making the viewer aware of the artifice of it all, using various effects, including the disgusting and the use of camera angles that inevitably show other camera angles to make the viewer aware of convention and how babyish the whole r&r thing can be. The result is joyful irony and fucking good rock.

[@Funz2022]

This band makes sense. The spirit of Rock is strong in them. That's a rare thing in 2016!
