I just discovered this band tonight. My life, forever changed.

[@lakelessfish]

i feel you. this band's changed my entire fall and it's only august.

[@akutazaki]

i come back to this video often, hope they have a live album version on spotify at some point

[@hctr9864]

theres live at bunker studios, its short but so so good

[@baileycook4136]

This is my favorite way I’ve ever heard Velvet Ring performed

[@hctr9864]

real

[@tsopuaifa]

Adrianne is just totally wonderful and amazing but the drummer is really good. He is so into it and finding every little nuance to play. And that bass guy is so unique and 100% focus on Adrianne. This band is really something.

[@tsopuaifa]

@Ellis Bell James is amazing on the drums I agree and Max is such a big part of their sound as well. They are the band that I know of where everyone is totally engaged in the performance like no-one else and plays exactly what they should play almost all of the time. I do wish to see them live one day.

[@tsopuaifa]

@Ellis Bell You too have a great day Ellis. Peace

[@LesAnderson]

Seeing them live was like a 1.5 hour musical trance. I was worried about COVID but have no regrets.

[@xtubalnet]

They meld together nicely. Way too many modern musical groups overplay themselves. I like the open spatials.

[@ryanpatterson2774]

They really seem to genuinely have an affection for one another, don't they?

[@husker22chad63]

Incredible. Adrienne puts down the guitar and just nails Mary. So haunting. LOVE LOVE LOVE this version. Her voice is so amazing.

[@screwtapee]

nice reference

[@vidyaruchi4810]

I've just discovered Big Thief and I'm totally bowled over by them. Wonderful songwriting.

[@CC-uv9xd]

SAME. Instant obsession! True Beauty

[@ryanphelan6861]

The volume of her writing is incredible . endless creativity just pours out of her. Whether solo or for the band and the quality is unmatched for me. I search hard too :)

[@lunamothhh]

Love this version of velvet ring

[@nielsgerwe]

Like it also! Got a Nirvana vibe to it

[@gilpinsteven]

I love Adrianne's guitar and overalls. These songs feel like sunken treasure. Love this band!!

[@fredzep01]

Adrianne is born in the wrong century, but thank the universe that she is in the here and now and bringing us her talents.

[@t4exanadu]

Right century, but I agree with the rest! Born in another century, she could not have been so open in her songwriting about her relationships with other women, and that's a running theme in a lot of her songs. As a woman who is also queer, she would have struggled for acceptance in the industry no matter her talents.

[@shaheen9317]

@@t4exanadu yes!!!

[@ikasten07]

What they did with Mary is just so inspired. They become the stage into a playground where to change everything and explore. Amazing

[@shnootch]

her voice singing those melodies completes this particular circle. love her voice

[@andreaneilcmc]

Buck Meek's non appearance gave this audience and alt performance, but one that was just as powerful but in a different way. Such a versatile band.

[@anetola]

yes!!

[@agardenmom]

didn't even notice. Sorry, Buck, but the band still mesmerizes without you.

[@superyuyo4060]

@@agardenmom well that's your opinion.

[@eyeojo]

[@ikasten07]

Why isn't he here? Did he join after this or he just couldnt play that day?

[@onegok]

I’m just so lucky to be alive and be able to listen big thief’s music

[@Oboefanclub]

This version of great white shark is just…wowzers. So powerful to watch. James is an incredible percussionist.

[@RichardWHardwick]

Big Thief - I think I love you. Thank you, all the way from Northumbria, the northern border of England and Scotland x

[@singingwolfdyeworks2391]

I absolutely love this show.

[@agardenmom]

and then we started playing adrienne's songs. . . Thank goodness. What an intelligently compelling talent, and the assemblage just explosively GOOD! Wonder-full work!

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

This is so well filmed and audio is great. It brings out the beauty of the music so well.

[@clumsy_clam]

Precious voice. And I like the story how they started the band.

[@erinateleven3477]

'this'...probably the most motivational life advice I've heard this year

[@MsAmate14]

I've just discovered them. So great! Long time since I felt so much for a new band. The only singer ever that slightly reminds me of Canadian Mary Margaret O'Hara.

[@robross7475]

Thank you... for the synchronicity of audio and video..

[@alexarpino7311]

i love hearing artists live so much

[@ParhelionMedia]

What a great show this was. So happy I was there and to find this video now up!

Finalmente possiamo ascoltare con gusto dell'ottima musica, una bellissima voce e grandi musicisti. !!!

[@msyaaa222]

i wanna see them live so badddddd

[@adelaova9868]

Listening to this as I am booking a ticket to their concert in London. So excited as I haven't been to a concert in too long of a time!

[@screwtapee]

How was it?

[@irenicum]

The last song in this set has a very Patti Smith feel to it. I can't wait to them live in Boston later this month!

[@chelseawinkler7502]

I love these guys for many reasons but I'm enjoying the perspective they gave on taking care of oneself and Spirit. :)

[@UncleWally3]

It’s fitting that, with a professional street urchin type of brilliance, Big Thief sneaks away with your heart.

[@eminemele1531]

I fucking LOVE this music holy shit.

[@andymcgowan7384]

Dafuq is Buck? Not the same without him but still a magical performance as always. Especially this version of Mary, with bass and drums only, definitely a different vibe.

[@VivianSchul]

Love you all. Love Max Olí…. Watever. Great musician.

What a Big Thief !!!! quel casse !!! i'm in love

I miss live music

[@ifitistobeitisuptome]

Loving the Black & White video! Looks awesome!

[@afretfuldevil5582]

So I've mentioned on one of their other videos that the way she speaks reminds me of Elliott Smith, and now I'm realizing that she actually looks like him too, and it's really trippin me out.

[@Droobilicious]

Some of the their songs have a definite Smith vibe too.

[@nicholasniebish2774]

Holy shit bud you ain’t lying hahahahaha excellent observation.. consider this my sending you a thank you note

They met on a street? I can't even....

[@anonymousraccoonguitar1578]

meant to be...

[@patrickhawkinson8399]

When you think about it, most people meet at least somewhere near a street, cuz there are a lot of streets with lots of people near them. People generally don't meet in the middle of a wilderness.

[@alecjahn]

@@patrickhawkinson8399 Semantics are fun... but he probably wouldn't have worded it that way if it wasn't an important note for their story.

[@jonathanmtroll]

Jan Mikicki Yeah, but even stranger because they went to Berkeley College of music at the same time and then met randomly in Brooklyn.

[@screwtapee]

If I remember correctly Buck and Adrianne actually met before when Buck opened for Adrianne during the Berkeley days but then they ran into each other on the street in New York

[@paulwrigley2864]

first ever listen to these n im hooked. very fuckin good.

[@andreaneilcmc]

Loved James solo on Paul to pull it back together!! He's a sweetie.

[@lukehutchy]

People often comment about how different they all seem from one another - a perfectly mismatched band. It's great to hear how that's the case, all meeting by chance one by one.

[@andreaneilcmc]

§gotta just luv James.

[@PinkRibbon109]

I love listening to this instead of the Spotify one

[@beverlyhillzchihuahua]

wow mick fleetwood is looking great!

[@arman0612]

I hope 'Shoulders' makes it into the fourth album, we need a studio version.

[@eVidentt]

shoulders was written around the same time that paul was.. in 2014. i suppose that its a bit late for that song to make a future project. there must be some reason for it.

[@Dangermoose-rv6bb]

@@eVidentt think Shoulders would have been out of place on UFOF...too 'rocky' for what's ostensibly a 'folky' lp...as would 'Not', another song that's been around a while but not released...they are still including both in their current sets, though, so i suspect they'll see the light of day at some point
