I could go months without listening to Alexisonfire but every time I go back, it's just as awesome as that first time I heard these guys 15+ years ago.
Dallas’ voice is uncrackable. It’s amazing and heartwarming to see how he’s grown as a vocalist. I’d honestly put him up there as one of the greatest male vocalist of my generation, maybe even of all time
I lost one of my best friends 26 days ago and I know he would love to watch this. This is for you Eric, wherever you are. All your friends love you deeply and we will forever miss you.
Right after I post this comment, I’m going to be your 200th like. I expect no reward , nor do I ask for turtles In exchange for a valuable thumbs up . This pulled me out of a funk I had been pulled into Thanks for the video
I thought you meant Strombo and got confused for a second. I was like, George is always so great and polite, when does he ever go nuts? Then i was like, oh, you meant the guy directing the genocide against mic stands across the world, yeah, George was probably told many times to keep his shirt on for sure.
i;ve been a fan of alexisonfire since i was.....maybe 20 or 21? back in 2000 and 2001? i remember their album was passed around and around and around on every emo and metal forum known to man. i remember everyone kept calling it "two girls in mid knife fight." i cant begin to tell you how hardcore of a fan i've been since then... i'm nealry 40 now... and i dont know what it was, but hearing the calm whispers of Pulmonary Archery...... i started to tear up..... i almost started sobbing. i guess this is what you call a midlife crisis... hang onto your youth, but just know that its all fleeting.... be daring, be different. remember every minute of it, and never have any regrets. thank you AOF for giving me that strength to be what i wanted to be, regardless of what happened.... i dont have a single regret.
Dude, poetic. I teared up just reading this. The self titled came out a year after I graduated and had no idea what I wanted to do in life. Every time I hear Pulmonary Archery it brings be back to some of the worst, and best times I had while trying to figure shit out in my early 20's. These albums are what shaped me. I'm so glad they are back.
20:50 can we talk about how Steele is the most calm, unassuming person in the world right up until music starts playing, and then instantly transforms into a spastic puppet? What a hero.
Recap: -Steele is still crazy (21:40) -Dallas still sings like he means it (25:15) -Wade is still a reliable gravelcrusher -Jordan sounds more solid than ever -George is still fkg wild, unpredictable. 10/10, wouldn't invite to play at my house, ever (24:38) -Strombo still has the best living room in the G.T.A .
Been listening to Alexisonfire since I was a 14 year old girl. Finally as a 28 year young lady finally saw them live and it was a religious experience.
@@toddmacdonald2056 These comments by Justin and Juan are actually the best compliments you could receive. These guy are essentially saying "there is no way an audio engineer can make something this polished and beautiful from a raw recording in a basement". Cheers man, you are an absolute beast! Continued success sir.
They truly are. I can listen to that portion alone and hear the guitars in the background. Erie to the max, then Wade comes in like a double barrel shotgun.
You missed the ups and downs. Like when they broke up some years back. I was legit sad and I’m not one to get sad about much. Then Dallas came back and it felt like Christmas
I would give anything to hear this band for the first time again. Just to fall in love all over again. Saw them live at a music festival back in 2005 in Toronto and they've been my favourite band since 🤘🏻
George, Dallas, and Wade all compliment each other so well. It's like their voices were meant to be in the same band. I wish they do a full tour of the U.S. one day. Definitely a bucket list band for me!
Definitely! PLEASE tour the U.S. That being said, I live in Michigan one hour away from Windsor, so if need be, I'll travel to Canada. I've never done it before just to see a band, but this band could make that happen.
Speaking of senses fail, just got to see them for the first time few weeks back in OKC, they played the whole ep album and bunch if stuff from "let it enfold you" was epic, reminded me of early 2000's high school
27:12 Happiness By The Kilowatt / When Doves Cry (Prince Cover) touched my soul. This whole live needs to be released on Band Camp. Fukin beautiful guys.

still some of the best guitar tones of the era. on par with thrice for heavy and dense while still having amazing brightness to the leads. so glad this band is a band again kinda. Canada is lucky to have them, the rest of us are lucky to share in that. much love from your southern clusterfuck of a neighbor America.
I'm freaking out omg best live perfomance from a band EVER. Period. Please please please please come to south america :( my heart won't survive but please please please I need to see you live before I die haha
Been listening to Pulmonary Archery for 20+ years now and still don’t know a single lyric yet still can’t get it out of my head. Melody over Mondegreene’s
Alexisonfire is heavy when it should be and not when it shouldn’t. A truly incredible recording at house of strombo. I love seeing the little nuances between George and steel and Dallas figures out how to sound better live like he always does. First time I ever heard pulmonary archery is relieved every time I watch this. A song can hold you.
You can see at 8:04 when, Pettit, raises his hands. The victory was all theirs. They knew they were back. This HOS show needs to be released for the quality alone. By that I mean on DVD, vinyl, whatever. I’d play it everyday.
How is nobody talking about how they weaved When Doves Cry right in the middle of Happiness By The Kilowatt so smoothly? That is some incredibly artistic and creative stuff. This band is truly something special.
@@temporarymomentary I was going to say the Matthew Good Band, as well! But, HOW did I overlook Rush, especially when I was listening to Hemispheres just last night. still, no argument, that these are the top three rock bands that Canada has lovingly bestowed upon us all.
How bout this. 2 best friends and I flew across country to Washington state to see these guys in concert and ran into them at the airport on the way home the next day. We were on the same flight to Chicago. Best weekend of my life
This band honestly has some of the best if not THE BEST talent I’ve ever heard. So proud to be Canadian and say this bands Canadian. Unreal how this band sounds and is so on point
Rumor is AlexIsOnFire has never left Georges basement. He keeps them locked up, so they can perform any time George wants. That's why you haven't seen them live since then.
@@svartsjokolade been better, finally able to do things on my own and breathing better. This is the first summer where I'm not sick, I plan to travel while my health is still good. Thank you ♡♡♡
Six songs and they give it everything they have. This is why they are the #onlybandever. I’ve been with them ever since the first time I saw Waterwings on MUCH.

Best House of Strombo, ever.
This needs it's own album.
Fully agree my guy
i would so buy a vinyl of that show.
Like throwing money into a well
@@rudivincent7442 What a wonderfully, positive human being 🙄
@@G90-. I meant it as a good thing, I love this band and especially this performance. Sorry for the misunderstanding!
You can tell this is Canada. The crowd wants to mosh but they don't want to destroy Georges house.
I love how Strombo asks if everyone is safe too. Canadians are incredible.
@@themessenger8334 Yes we are ^__^
Not very aggressive music for moshing.
Shoes at the door?
@@wrarmatei If you think moshing is about aggression you've been doing it wrong.
I could go months without listening to Alexisonfire but every time I go back, it's just as awesome as that first time I heard these guys 15+ years ago.
Literally. Everytime I go back it’s like the first time I discovered an amazing song
This is so true!
So true
Agreed. I needed them today...hadnt listened in a long time
I'm 32 now, and discovered them at 16. This genuinely makes me misty eyed when I see others feel the same. Damn I'm old.
Pulmonary Archery is a national treasure 🇨🇦
100%
Their whole debut album is a national treasure
A Canadian heritage moment if you will
Go to 27:00 and you’ll find the real gem
Thanks for sharing your treasures
legend says dallas green's voice has never cracked
Leyends says Dallas voice can resurrect the dead
Like a Siren he lures Fishermen to their doom.
He is literally a perfect singer. I don’t think he’s ever sung a sour note.
nolymoly I agree, he has a hauntingly beautiful voice.
@@stefaniverson2739 He definitely has, there's a live performance during their farewell tour run where he misses a note. One.

Strombo's House is now the original Much Music we all dearly miss.
100% this
Strombo never sold out, he's a man of his word and I fucking love him for it
As good as Much, without the shitty music. Anyone remember Kim and his City Limits show? That was can't miss back in high school.
Fuck yes boys
Agreed
Still the only band ever
So so much. They truly own that title. If anyone else tried it they'd get laughed down but AOF are simply perfect.
Andy Shor Tass Yusssss ♥️
@@tattoodfreak206 That's certainly an opinion!
Green is one of the best vocalists I've ever heard.
100% agreed, I LOVE his vocals, it's absolutely beautiful!
Dallas’ voice is uncrackable. It’s amazing and heartwarming to see how he’s grown as a vocalist. I’d honestly put him up there as one of the greatest male vocalist of my generation, maybe even of all time
He’s got such an awesome voice, and especially unique for this genre/scene
I'd back you up on that one
He is one of the best Canadian artists of all time. Book it, it’s true.
Totally agree
The problem is it went to his head and look what happened
I lost one of my best friends 26 days ago and I know he would love to watch this.
This is for you Eric, wherever you are. All your friends love you deeply and we will forever miss you.
Rest in peace AOF fan
Rest in Peace Eric and best wishes to you both fellow AOF supporters
rip eric
R.i.p Eric. Sending love and positive vibes from a fellow AOF fan 🤘
Sorry for your loss
The video and audio quality of this show feels like a movie. BRAVO
Like a bad movie.
Right after I post this comment, I’m going to be your 200th like. I expect no reward , nor do I ask for turtles In exchange for a valuable thumbs up .
This pulled me out of a funk I had been pulled into
Thanks for the video
@@NoUseFor18 u know nothin biaacht
Fuck yes !
I like alexisonfire since 2000... this show is the best ever....I wish I was there.
Damn that must of been the longest amount of time I've seen George keep his shirt on.
I thought you meant Strombo and got confused for a second.
I was like, George is always so great and polite, when does he ever go nuts?
Then i was like, oh, you meant the guy directing the genocide against mic stands across the world, yeah,
George was probably told many times to keep his shirt on for sure.
I knew something was odd
must have*
I didnt recognnize him till i read your comment, thought he was a new member
George wearing a shirt "over a shirt" is a first for me!
The people at this show are by far some of the luckiest humans on Earth. I'd literally chop off fingers to be there and see this live
I could listen to that pulmonary archery intro all dang day.
monalisamoshpit Chills
@@alexwarp3521 big time chills
literally same. All their first album intros are amazing
I've never heard the Pulmonary Archery intro with the reverb that amplified until now, and it was incredible. Quality of the mix is unreal too!
i mustve rewatched Pulmonary like 20 times before i continued to watch. Absolutely amazing guitar tones
Holy shit didn't know Electronic Gems is into post-hardcore. Love your channel
dallas is amazing, I love this guys
So fucking haunting, come back to it often..
Sick right ?
Damn the team mic'ing and mixing this is solid. Shoutout to the Strombo team.
Thanks for uploading this.
For real though, damn.
Sounds AMAZING
I was going to say!
If more records sounded like this, I think I'd be very happy. It still sounds live and raw but clear enough where nothing is lost.
Seriously. Its unreal how nice this is.
i;ve been a fan of alexisonfire since i was.....maybe 20 or 21? back in 2000 and 2001? i remember their album was passed around and around and around on every emo and metal forum known to man. i remember everyone kept calling it "two girls in mid knife fight." i cant begin to tell you how hardcore of a fan i've been since then...
i'm nealry 40 now... and i dont know what it was, but hearing the calm whispers of Pulmonary Archery...... i started to tear up..... i almost started sobbing. i guess this is what you call a midlife crisis...
hang onto your youth, but just know that its all fleeting.... be daring, be different. remember every minute of it, and never have any regrets. thank you AOF for giving me that strength to be what i wanted to be, regardless of what happened.... i dont have a single regret.
well said, man!
Tears for PA here too man. Their first album changed my life when i was just a wee lad.
Dude, poetic. I teared up just reading this. The self titled came out a year after I graduated and had no idea what I wanted to do in life. Every time I hear Pulmonary Archery it brings be back to some of the worst, and best times I had while trying to figure shit out in my early 20's. These albums are what shaped me. I'm so glad they are back.
Amen. I am 39, right there with you brother. We are aging like fine wine \m/
Going on 38... time moves on man. Just remember to "Dance Like Theres No One Watching You".
Dude, are you fucking kidding me? How do they just go and come back better than ever?
Damn... pulmonary sounds so good on this one! A classic
20:50 can we talk about how Steele is the most calm, unassuming person in the world right up until music starts playing, and then instantly transforms into a spastic puppet? What a hero.
That ride bell is delicious
need to say, mad props to the mix, puts this video over the top in greatness.
This is definitely one of the best mixed live shows I've ever heard.
Perfect mix of the room and close mic's is the trick to a good recorded sounded, plus, Alexis are playing tight AF these days!
Facts
So good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🐺🤘
Drummer is beyond amazing. Holy sweet mother of god.
Recap:
-Steele is still crazy (21:40)
-Dallas still sings like he means it (25:15)
-Wade is still a reliable gravelcrusher
-Jordan sounds more solid than ever
-George is still fkg wild, unpredictable. 10/10, wouldn't invite to play at my house, ever (24:38)
-Strombo still has the best living room in the G.T.A .

Wade's vocals on When Doves Cry
I am truly amazed by the audio quality of these recordings. This is legitimately better than several professional concert DVDs from a decade ago.
its called a "backing track"
@@juanvaldez5422 No backing track. Everything you hear is from their amps, drums and throats.
Its mos def back tracking I ve seen them live they dont sound like that.

I can't stop watching this. And probs won't. Lol #theonlybandever
Current fav aswell :')
Sound quality is on point
that reverb in Pulmonary Archery tho
What a ride
Am I listening to a live mix or the studio album?! JESUS this is incredible! This was perfectly on point!
Alexisonfire is bout to have the hottest reunion show in the restaurant of Zellers.
Neat...

God damn Dallas’s vocals in Dogs Blood are spine-chillingly amazing!
They truly are. I can listen to that portion alone and hear the guitars in the background. Erie to the max, then Wade comes in like a double barrel shotgun.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. 17 years later and Pulmonary Archery STILL turns me into a giddy little school girl.
me too...*thinks* wait a minute
"This Could Be Anywhere In the World"
Just want to be pointing and laughing right after!! ♥️

I scream when that pulmonary archery intro starts - must've been something else to actually be there
Seeing them in Ottawa in a month. Haven't seen them since Christmas Eve 2011. Cannot fucking wait.
How clear that cymbol and drop is at the beginning of "this could be anywhere"... Dang
that little intro before pulmonary archery tears me into pieces
Brings tears to my eyes to see my favourite band just destroying in modern times. Love you guys
possibly the most amazing intimate set ever in the history of the human race
Dallas is a living legend!
BEST ALEXIS LIVE RECORDING MY GOD MY BODY IS SHOOK!!
Dallas Green is a GOD. He sounds so incredible in this show.

@@isthisdom Houston
This has to be one of the best sounding concerts I’ve ever heard.
god damn that pulmonary archery intro is heaven
Hell ya! They sound just as good as they did years ago, this is frickin pure gold!!!
This band has matured/aged/whatever magnificently!
I only got the chance to see Alexisonfire once with Senses Fail and Saosin and I swear to god it's still the best show I've ever been to, to this day.
I took my oldest son to see these guys as his 2nd concert, maybe 15 years ago. The first was The White Stripes. Ima good Dad.
Incredible line up, assuming that was a long time ago. Cheers.
Speaking of senses fail, just got to see them for the first time few weeks back in OKC, they played the whole ep album and bunch if stuff from "let it enfold you" was epic, reminded me of early 2000's high school
I saw them on that tour too!! Also with alk3 and bayside. The lineups used to be so fuckin solid back in the day
No matter how many times I watch this show, I just keep coming back.
This band has had more reunions than an Irish family but fuck they sound better than ever
It's official, I lost track on how many times I've listened to this!

Why not?
It slaps too hard

This set is like every young rockstars dream. Basement set going hard for friends. I love it
Just realized this is days old. Excited for the comeback.

This mix exceeds studio quality. This is the future. #goosebumps
THEY ARE FUCKING CRUSHING HERE. Holy shit
To answer the question a few have been asking, those pickups in Dallas’s jazzmaster are Curtis Novak Gold Foils
Holy fuck, this might be the best they've sounded. They came to a tiny town near me, was such an epic show!!!

How is nobody talking about how they weaved When Doves Cry right in the middle of Happiness By The Kilowatt so smoothly? That is some incredibly artistic and creative stuff. This band is truly something special.
