Devin Townsend | Ih-ah! | First Play Live

[@baumansound]

What happened here:
30 minutes before this happened (AT LEAST!) Devin was talking to the luthier that made this guitars, and the luthier introduced his son (again?) to Devin. And Devin said "Nice to meet you!". The Kid answered with "We already met!". Then a short awkward but funny moment happened and Devin carried on with his set... Until half of this song when he finally remembered he have already met the kid.

[@Gattobuono]

Thanks for the explanation. :-)

[@la3011]

This guy is crazy. For the best !

[@imnoexpert1926]

the most devin thing ive ever heard

[@VultureCL]

Thanks for the explanation, now I can laugh with property :D

[@nomadman123]

I figured it was something like that, and, that's a beautiful sounding guitar.

[@ulfingvar1]

Best artist on the globe at the moment. Yes, big words, but prove me wrong!!

[@wtglb]

You’ll get no argument from me!

[@gardhul]

I don't think you'll find anyone on this comments section that will argue on that!

[@ProfHojo-]

You can't. Dev is just unreal

[@ulfingvar1]

@Gabriel Cabana Never heard that name before, what kind of music does he/she represent?

[@steinh]

@Gabriel Cabana Lets see what music he can write over a period of 25 years and see him perform it unplugged. He's just another singer.

[@ZombolicBand]

There is no Wine on earth that ages better than Devins voice.

[@minkorrh]

You know a guy who can literally blow people away with his vocal and compositional power in an electrified setting, and also hold people rapt with attention in an acoustic setting, all the while peppering in humour has something very special. He's a Canadian treasure, and I feel bad for those that haven't discovered the magic of Devin Townsend.

[@mikemaverick7250]

This man is a creative genius

[@digibirder]

One song he chokes you up. The next one you're laughing out loud. Incredible talent.

[@fardreaming]

For me, that all happens in the same song!

[@TheTonyShow]

Then he can also melt your face in the same song as well

[@timchambers55]

That moment when Dev is singing 'with everything I do, God I love you' maintaining intensely awkward eye contact with the guy he suddenly recalled meeting - so great

[@AEGIPAN101]

Very few singers have the kind of range and tone that Devy does. His voice sends shivers up my spine, he can be so expressive in his range. What a personality, too. He's definitely of a rare breed.

[@Rebella1337]

they call em Townsend Hubbies :3

[@Squishysforbreakfast]

Even less are able to play the guitar at a high level and compose music equally as high on top of his vocal skills.

[@ambrooks5]

You can’t but love Hevy Devy!

[@Tac-0]

When i die, i hope i go to a place where devin play music constantly.

[@kidneybleach1299]

1:07 something as small as walking away from the mic stand to connect with the crowd is what makes Devin Townsend so great.

[@landonb5531]

he's just not the type of artist to ever seem disconnected from the crowd.

[@CARTMENS]

3:55 that's the first time EVER I've heard Devin being off key. And he plays it off so well. Haha.
Love Devin!

[@ambrooks5]

He has to do it ever so often so nobody questions he’s actually an alien lol

[@perfeitamente_normal]

This clip just makes me smile from beginning to end.

[@kristintilley9171]

He loves what he does. WE love what he does. He's SO addictive. Amazing performer. Genius, funny, empath. LOVE. ❤

[@petarpavasovic6333]

Who mixed this? This is literally the best mix of an acoustic song I've ever heard in my life

[@cbcmusic]

Devin

[@HeresJohnnyDee]

@@cbcmusic Makes sense as to why it sounds so incredible! He's an amazing producer

[@Tio-Nino]

Thank you Lisa.

[@magusmelanie828]

Late reply, but you can see he has an Ableton Push connected to his laptop, two columns active, one guiate and one vocal - then the mix is sent to the in-house - that's why he's laughing at himself for too much echo (which for him is a combo delay-reverb-delay chain)

[@anibalrodriguez9956]

The man himself

[@CannibalAmerica]

4:14 here to the end is incredible. I always think how stunning it must be for people unfamiliar with his music to hear such beautiful sounds come out of this goofball

[@jasonstanwick3257]

His likability is 1000% so talented. Wish he had so much more recognition!!!!

[@christinetrefalt]

One of the best nights of my life! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@Chicken_Inspector_kun]

ive been listening to devin townsend since i was 13 (all the way back to 2003) and seeing him become his best fully realized self (as displayed in this video) just makes me so happy. His energy is infectious and motivating. I hope I can see him perform live someday. Keep it up Devin!

[@guitarz]

can't get over how much I love this man's personality

[@DiegoMoralesRoccuzzo]

Your smile makes me not wanna kill my f*cking self. That smile comes from another plane. You have been through things. You have seen things. Not to mention you unrivaled talent and your voice. Thank you, man.

[@ulfingvar1]

THERE CAN NEVER BE TOO MUCH ECHO. DEV!!!!

[@Iamhere12333]

I think I'm in love m/

[@jamesahrussell]

What a talent!!

[@NicholasPaulArnold]

Dev is the man!

[@MadsMcKay]

@2:21 oh my god that made me choke-laugh. I was so moved by his voice and then that abrupt change.

[@glumauig21]

What's the context? Who did Devin remember?

[@StormingNearTheBaltic]

I WANT THIS VERSION ON SPOTIFY! 🤩

[@pixie7435]

[@s4tchm0j0n3s]

Watching him perform this song always gets me teary eyed and choked up. Such a masterful performance.

[@-IYN-]

Imagine this song in a pop-arrangement - pure top 10 hit!

[@benshaw2341]

It has been done. Addicted is a pop record.

[@sealogic4552]

Ben Shaw I dunno about that, but Ih-Ah! is a pop song stylistically.

[@rebelfiend1193]

It's an acoustic metal song
