@@jetardeshna3449 yeah his name is Fredrik Haake. He is like hybrid between Fredrik Thordendal and Thomas Haake. That's why he makes accents on drums AND guitars. Amazing stuff.
God. There’s just no other band that plays live with the kind of authority and power of Meshuggah. All I can do is shake my head in disbelief. Haha wow.
speaking to this a little bit; anything on psychedelics could be mentally scarring :) my best friend and i took mushrooms for our first meshuggah experience, and LSD some odd years later(on this tour) for the second experience, and they are two nights i hold close to my heart. we saw them a third time last year, quite sober, and it was equally invigorating and inspirational.
Fun story: I went to this show (it was amazing) and sat up in the balcony. When Meshuggah came on, the guy next to me yawned, crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and slunk back into his seat. He remained in this state of repose for the entirety of the show. Only afterwards did he open his eyes and look around. He looked like he'd been hit by a freight train and his pupils were the size of saucers.
He improvises a lot though, just like Fredrik. His improv are just more conventional. He admitted himself that the only solo he tries to get close to the album version is Born In Dissonance! Fredrik's solos are an acquired taste and I can totally understand why someone would dislike them, but they're unmatchable, for me.
@@Niamorg1007 fredrick is basically the single most creative guitar player ever...!!!the most jaw dropping.outer world sounds!!!...still dont know how the fuck is his mind at the absolute crazy leads !!
@@TCM215 false. They are completely different players. Back in the day fredrik was way more technical, but now it is mostly about atmosphere. Both per and fredrik improvise. There has never ever been a written guitar solo in meshuggah apart from I am Colossus which I consider a lead honestly.
I went by myself cuz i dont have many friends that like Meshuggah. Its a shame cuz this was THE loudest yet most clear concert ive ever been to, if that makes sense. I have to give credit to the venues sound system. Ive been to countless shows yet this one had me actually saying to myself "should i have brought ear pro?" And ive seen these guys before. I will always see Meshuggah every chance I get, but if I see they are playing the Wiltern I will do everything but quit my job to go to that show.
I love the song Violent Sleep of Reason. starting at 53:12, the already amped song grows in intensity, and then jens starts bellowing AAAAANOOOTHEEEERRRRRRRRR and I blow AAAAANOOOOTHEEEERRRRRR goosebumpy load on my semen drenched shirt. Seriously tho... between the power of the instruments, the power of the lyrics, and their delivery, I'm left speechless
1:01:23 that lone light illuminating one guitarist combined with the fans waving their hands during the clean part was breathtaking. I'm feel like I'm starting to really enjoy this band, and I just have to see them live someday. What a performance

Great to see this band getting the recognition they deserve, they have been kicking ass for over 30 years, first saw them playing the second stage at Ozzfest in 2002.
Possessed, owned, controlled! By the common sense-infected rational gaze! Onward forever we walk among the ignorant! Never stray..from the common lines!!!
8:45 holy shit he's not a machine after all. Most noticeable mess up I've ever heard him make. BUT it sounds like he just dropped the stick in his left hand which is just bound to happen eventually, especially with how hard he hits. All that said, he kept everything together but the snare while he got a new stick and that's professional as fuck, especially when u consider how complex that beat is right there. Haake is the man, just pointing this out cause no one else seemed to notice yet.
The evolution of music is quite amazing. Started with someone playing on a flute outside of a cave 30000 years ago along with someone doing fartsounds and now we got this!
I get it. I discovered them when I was getting bored listening to a bunch of Gothic and Melodic Death Metal. But for some reason, I never stopped listening to these guys.
Amazing video. It's not about sound quality, it's all about the vibe. This is a great show, the band are really into it, the venue is not too big, and the crowd is not too packed in so they have lots of room to jump around - all adds up to great atmosphere. So many Meshuggah gigs look like motionless sardines staring at them while they play some maths, this one is what it's really about, slamming as hell. The lighting and the handheld camera just adds to it, and whoever filmed it is in just the right spot, close but not too close so you see everyone really going nuts.
It also takes a song or two to get the energy to kick off. There is a point somewhere in track 2 or so where it lifts and you go "oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit here we go"
Lethargica was one of the least interesting songs to me on Obzen. After seeing them at this very show, it’s now my favorite. The breakdown when they slow it down, So crushing! The way they end it here is AMAZING. Saw it in a whole new light.
I have been listening to meshuggahs music for a while and now everytime i listen to them i have a literal twitch that makes me headbang to their songs.
Meshuggah needs to have a show where they perform the song "I" first and then maybe like 3 or 4 Other songs after that. I love that song even if it's 21 minutes long.
Come on, you know they never will:( It's all random and pieced together in the studio so to learn the entire thing to be played all in one go and with the light show perfectly synced is just not logistically possible.. Perhaps a small medley from it would be possible?
Nah man, Meshuggah shows are quite civilized. I was fortunate enough to catch a stick the first time I went to see them perform. I was just close to catching it because I waved to him and he kind of tossed it over my way. There was a step I didn't see and I got to low to catch it lol.
metalheadblues there’s a great clip of him talking about this show on RUclips and it completely summed up this experience perfectly. I was there and was in shock of what i witnessed. These guys are on level of their own
1:23:05 They also ended like this the last time I saw them in Toronto. You can really hear the triggers but I had no idea Tomas had it in him to go that fast!
Dude I was there! I had mez seats up on the right side. Easily the best metal show I've ever been to in my entire life, shit fucking blew my mind, I was totally in a trance the whole time just going wild.
jens likes to say, "see you next time, take care !!" showing that they are intact human because a lot of people may think they aren't, or atleast i have thought that before under the influence of psychedelics
Dude we had mez seats but when they played Demiurge last me and my friend LITERALLY jumped over the security guard and hopped into the pit and fucking raged for the whole song, it was fucking epic
credit to per Nilsen for filling in for Frederick. guy is solid, cant be easy learning all this awkward chuggy stuff and still play in other bands at the same time.
Late reply but I saw him here. He was chatting with fans and just overall stoked to be there. This show happened after NAMM in Anaheim. The amount of famous metal musicians that were at this show was also astounding.

Authority is right.

THE GREATEST BAND. EVER.
Every song is great but Demiurge has a special place in my heart.
DefThrone right? It’s like being chased by a slow but relentless bulldozer.
Would love for them to not even play any of the Koloss stuff live ever again.
DefThrone I’ve seen this comment somewhere else before
Straws Pulled at Random for me.
@@charlesmattinglymendoza9612 Why? Demiurge is an awesome song and gets a great response from the crowd as seen in this video.

Dude I went to and a bunch of my friends went and we all agreed it was the best show we've ever been to.

Wait wait wait, Jens is 51? Shit he still goes hard live. Much respect
This is the bill burr show
Born in Dissonance, Rational Gaze and Demiurge… 3 of the best tracks of all time.
That second half of Lethargica just gets more and more ridiculous.
I want a date with that girl that screams at the start of every song......
Nathan, I was thinking along those lines as well
this whole thing was an amazing alien abduction experience.
I was abducted by the greys in 04. its pretty similar to this yeh
In case you haven't seen them live, 40:39 is like walking in front of a freight train.
Ahha, yes!! I remember standign there like.. sooon... soooooon DUUUUN DUUUUUUUN and my face just --> :O:D
that song bleed, its like.... its incredible.

one of the heaviest metal band on the planet and play the tightest on stage
Meshuggah - music too complex to mosh properly too. Never been to a Meshuggah concert where I wasn't in what seemed like a trance. Incredible!
what song of theirs is the most perplexing to watch live?
MuffMuff36 stengah imo
I strongly disagree with that.
I always zone out when they play Demiurge, so that would be the one I'd pick. First time I ever watched them live was in Copenhagen in an arena called Amager Bio, that was the first time I'd ever experienced the floor vibrating and that was quite an experience.
Metanimalistic bleed has to be up there. It's a trancey song to begin with and you just get lost in Tomas's kick drums
Great to see this band getting the recognition they deserve, they have been kicking ass for over 30 years, first saw them playing the second stage at Ozzfest in 2002.
Thank you so much for posting this! I was at the show probably 20 feet to the right of you and 20 feet back. A most epic show to say the least
Fan fucking tastic. Seen em 6 times in England and got to hang out with them once. Super cool guys. This gig is amazing!
Bill burr was right. I must see them live at some point. If I don’t, my life won’t be fulfilled.
I can confirm.
It is an INCREDIBLE experience. :)
One of these days......one of these days I'll get to see them live! I swear it!!

Someone in another comments section said this is the Meshugga show that Bill Burr was at...
8:45 holy shit he's not a machine after all. Most noticeable mess up I've ever heard him make. BUT it sounds like he just dropped the stick in his left hand which is just bound to happen eventually, especially with how hard he hits. All that said, he kept everything together but the snare while he got a new stick and that's professional as fuck, especially when u consider how complex that beat is right there. Haake is the man, just pointing this out cause no one else seemed to notice yet.
If anyone takes only one thing out of what you wrote let it be the part that said “Haake is the man”.
Im pretty sure thats just the way the song goes...
He also messed up the second verse in rational gaze for a second lol.
He is in fact human
Yeah his legs and ankles were all fucked up for a while, this is the worst I've ever heard him play after ALL of these years. ;o(
And yet, none of us can play that well.
The evolution of music is quite amazing. Started with someone playing on a flute outside of a cave 30000 years ago along with someone doing fartsounds and now we got this!
When a phone camera recording sounds heavier than 99% of most metal bands' albums.
Thank you for holding you arm up the whole show to record this!! Haha \m/
haha! i didn't have to hold it up. i was on the next floor behind that pit section.
1:16:06 kidnapped by aliens

Saw em in Sac..would like to see them again..and again...and again........
I WAS THERE!

are people fighting over that stuff?
Fighting over what?
never been to a concert, so i'm just wondering if people are fighting over these drum heads, sticks etc.
