Ryan deserves a medal for this performance!!! Un-fucking-believable!!
The best part was the looks on the faces of the orchestra... simply amazing
That's just what I ment to comment!!!
I think they weren't expecting to play such interesting music, but saying that they would have had plenty of heads-up to learn it. I think it's the fact of how powerful it is when actually realized. It must be a rise for orchestral players to take part in something modern, huge, and musically complex. Synergy of the ages.
The face of the orchestra members in the instrumental part, recognizing the awesome.
Josué Isidoro They where actually hilarious in real life! Very few of the spoke English and then add the heavy metal on top of it, they were out if their element for sure!
I bet it's a wild experience for them. Most orchestra shows you get a round of applause at the end, not thousands of people cheering and screaming hahaha
I think it was partially that, partially "Thank fucking god he didn't write us music to play for this part, that looks difficult"

You've ruined me this video.
I was just thinking “wow the drums sound very prominent “
15 years and the outro still give me tingles
5 years, baby...😘
I've listened to a lot of music, and I mean A LOT. But the last four minutes of this song is the best 4 minutes I have ever heard in my entire life. Everything else pales in comparison now, no joke. This is pure magnificence. WOW.
It's definitely one of the best outros I've heard! Dream Theater "Lie" is another amazing one.
Reminds me of Philip Glass. Driving percussion is not exclusive to metal. Try some Prokofiev or Shostakovitch.
Say what you want about the mix, Ryan absolutely killed this performance!
sonocide6 indeed!
As a drummer he is in the top realm. Everyone will hear if he makes a mistake, unlike many instruments. He's massive as a drummer and fit's the part.
For everyone tripping out about the mix, Devin just said on his Twitter account that it was mixed in 5.1, but RUclips screwed up the audio (converting it from 5.1 to 2.0) while it was being uploaded. They might re-upload it. The mix is NOT supposed to sound this way.
I've been waited for so long to hear this song without drum machine! I'm a bit disappointed though: Ryan IS a drum machine :D
According to a recent video on his Facebook he had some issues with muscles cramping up due to it being quite cold.
Gergely, I agree with you entirely:))) But don't forget, that Ryan had a predecessor, in Strapping Young Lad: Gene Hoglan:)
Ryan is a drum machine, Hoglan is the clock central to the governing of space time itself :)
Ha ha ha!!
Never saw this version... The violinist headbanging \m/
To everyone complaining about the drum sound: the bluray will have a 5.1 surround mix. If you compress that down to youtube-format and listen via a non-dolby-surround system its gonna sound shit. Wait until you hear the final product - I'm told it sounds amazing.
Yeah, I've been a bit concerned about the tracks that've appeared on RUclips, but I'm holding out to see how it sounds when my blu-ray/dvd/cd package shows up in the next couple of weeks. The thing is, the stuff from the RAH show sounds pretty solid on youtube? I've got no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to this stuff, though.
But surely it has a decent stereo mix in there as well? Most people will listen to this in stereo.
its also gonna sound better on stereo but the mix was made for 5.1 surround
It is currently available on Spotify and that version I can safely say sounds great. Everything is mixed near perfectly and the drums aren't overpowering either
you guys know this is a live recording right? and you can only do so much when it comes to mixing? especially in the outside atmosphere it was recorded in.... but ya you all have expensive headphones so im sure youre all audio engineers now.
If I could give this 1 million thumbs up I would
It's amazing that Ryan can play this so damn well. All the drums on this album were originally programmed by Devin, I don't think humans were supposed to play it. Amazing
Regarding programmed drums and humans being able to play it. Have you heard Alex Rudingers playthrough of Xenochrist? It was originally programmed aswell, merely as a joke as no human was supposed to be able to play it. But I learned it, joined the faceless and won the game of drumming.
love watching the orchestra watching the band at the end. think they were impressed! 7:09 says it all!
Man. I miss this lineup. They were a great band.
Devin is just a son of a beast! I just find his playing and singing skills synchronized beyond amazing with such showmanship
I am absolutely fucken breathless, exhilarated and blown away. And that build up to the end...holy shit. Powerful!!
4:49 Mike taking a selfie during the Narration part. It cracked me up
my eyes are watering
How good is it at the ending where the classical musicians are in awe of what’s being played. Incredible
Your pretty much getting a centre mix of a 5.1 mix which means all the wide instrument that will be panned (guitars and orchestra) are less noticeable but the drums and vocals which are typically instruments that are dead center of a mix (with some panning on the drums for stereo field) are the only ones that are audible. Blu ray is absolutely amazing quality. I had 5.1 headphones on and there is tonnes of width in the panning
This would sound absolutely amazing with some guitars!
and more snare
This song brings me literal tears of joy in that post 6:30 section... sheer epic!
Ce type est un génie ! ❤
Possibly the best DT performance ever.
360p squad reporting in.
best squad
My hope is that this upload is so fresh than anything better than 360p is not yet processed by YT.
Doesn't matter. After seeing this I'll buy the bluray, better quality and some deserved earnings for Devin.
Ryan's mastery of the double-base-drum pedal is mind blowing. What a great gathering of super-talented musicians this is.
Best double-bass I've ever heard !!!!!!
This song is why I love metal
the drummer is a MONSTER!!
Anathema is probably loving this!!! Two amazing shows!
Man, That is a extremely intense song to play on drums. You held it together! Very impressive.
A god lives amongst us
One of the best live Devin Townsend performances ever!
Devin's guitar body is ridiculously huge! I dig it
I watched it once through and I'm definitely going to rewatch it right now :) Everybody buy the dvd! It's gonna be worth it.
I watched the video once again today... the hype is killing meeee
Devin sounds so good
I'm surprised that that ancient Roman theater survived the final part of this song :D
Best EVER live version of this song.
"The universal epicenter of all that is awkward" is a great description of me as a person
these videos are a godsend to ease the wait for my limited edition package...
Paolo De Angelis I too am waiting on the edge of my seat for it to come in the mail!
Glorious!
Love the flying upper case V
We need a movie of this... 😃
I've already pre-ordered my blu-ray copy!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
What a humble guitar. :)
Too humble, I think( I hope it's not final mix
Yes!!! One of my favorite songs from Dev! Epic
That V is madness....I love this snare song
7:09 so cute! XD
+ 7:58
I wonder if they’ll be listening to more of his work afterwards and turning into big fans like the rest of us 😁
Genius!
Yes Ryan!! Damn.
For the people complaining I can safely say the version currently on Spotify sounds great. Everything is mixed perfectly or at least in my opinion.
Ok, video quality is not great, but can we talk about the awesomeness that this performance is?
No, we cannot.
Ghaaaaaantaaaarrrriiiiii!
That guitar Devin is using in this video is just crazy sick :)
Amazing performance.
This was insanely amazing. My brains are out and is the wrong mix. I cant imagine.
Oh, you've got more than one brain? Nice.
De menos a más en todo el cover mi buen, excelente! Solo no te pongas nervioso!
Holy Shit. DTP breaks the boundaries of heavyness on a regular basis. And why does Poland get the best concerts?!
Amazing, just amazing.
This is probably the most metal moment ever! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song is sooo epic.
Magic Devin... As usual 🎶🎵🎸
Big fan of the last two songs from this live. Still looking forward to the full release!
I listen with decent headphones and am now listening to the Spotify version. Yes, the drums are loud on YT, but it really doesn't sound much different with headphones on Spotify. I personally love louder drums, and think 90% of music has the guitars way too loud and the bass might as well not exist in a lot of bands. So this sound is about perfect to my ears!
Vocals are amazing
Gaaahhhhh....That was so bad ass!!!
...just awesome!
Thank u ziltoid the ominscent
yes, Yes, YES!
that guitar is ridiculous devin
So tight!
Génial !!!!
Godly Townsend.
Impressionante, pra dizer o mínimo. Sonzeira! \m/
Did the drummer mix this ?
ElCharvo no, Devin did.
he was joking Ivan
r/ woooosh
It was Lars.
Kit Palmer fair enough. Also yeah, it's safe to assume that most ppl around these videos know that man's proclivities regarding his album's production.
Come to America!
Drums need to be louder.
Drummer is in beast mode wow
Eargasm!!!!
Ziltoid....luvs drums😁
EPIC!!!!!!
Ending rhythms are TIGHT
Metal.
The drums are louder than guitars again
Oh thanks for informing me, that's actually good news!
*My energy Drink!!!*
Did Lars supervising the mix of this?
No the snare sounds pretty good.
Guys it sounds way better on the actual cd and dvd, something went wrong with this upload. The drums are still loud, but the other instruments exist and Devin's voice isn't weird sounding.
How about on Spotify? I checked the mix there and it's similar. Obviously not 360p grainy but still.
Spotify is basically what the actual mix is. Like I said, the drums are way too loud and the guitars are quiet, but at least its not like this where it sounds like some of the recording is just missing. The cd mix sounds better than spotify but if you wanted louder guitars its not happening.
Awesome
Everybody who is asking, Dev mixed this himself and spent lots of time on it so most of the choices are probably intentional
Lol not the youtube cropped audio.
The blue ray is 5:1 and mixed by him yes
The video is 360p if you didnt notice
O_O a-ma-zing... What have I just watched????
360p? Seriously? The video has been up for hours, this isn't YT's fault (unless it's a glitch).
It is up for days now, and it is still 360p. Could have been 1080p for days now.
Nah, they're pulling the same shit that Century Media did with Paradise Lost's Symphony for the Lost. They released one clip in 480p and that was it. That was all the promo for an epic orchestral live show.
I don't understand what's the point, though. By doing this you're more likely to discourage me from buying the bluray.
However, I still admit it's better than what Nuclear Blast did with Blind Guardian's single. To avoid piracy they released the song with mono sound! M O N O ! Sounded like shit and backfired big time.
All these comments about the mix quality and all that I love it like it is raw throbbing inspired performance and I'm picky about what I listen to
Anxiously waiting for my limited edition blu ray art book copy. In the meantime I did a stupid thing and listened to some of the songs on iTunes JUST to hear if ol’ Dev maybe had some trouble with his crazy vocal highlights in the songs that were played, like Deadhead last verse, Bastard, Funeral etc. I know it was silly to question a god, he definitely still has it being the insanely talented guy he is 😁.
Also can I just say that damnnnn the orchestra works so well to the point that it’s breathed so much new life in the songs and that I would be totally fine with playing them on their own, in the car for instance hah.
I think the issues with the mix is something to do with youtube. The mix on Spotify is pretty good, and I'm sure the cd, dvd, and bluray mixes will also be really good.
Just checked it out on spotify and it is much better. You can even hear some orchestra ;) Listen to Gaia for example, lots of fun additions from the orchestra!
I disagree. Sounds just as bad on spotify
you guys know this is a live recording right? and you can only do so much when it comes to mixing? especially in the outside atmosphere it was recorded in.... but ya you all have expensive headphones so im sure youre all audio engineers now.
I don't think anyone is upset with the sound quality or overall production. I think everything sounds great! The problem I have with it is that the drums are too loud compared to the other instruments (and that's coming from a drummer! haha). Every instrument was recorded with separate mic's, meaning the engineer can raise or lower the volume of each individual instrument. Again, the overall sound is phenomenal! The volume of the drums just needs to be turned down a bit. And my headphones are only $40. ;p
So Devin produced a live album that you have to have "expensive headphones" and be an audio engineer to listen to? And what restrictions from live recordings? Have you even heard what he did with Retinal Circus and Royal Albert Hall? You're a fool
Foda!!!!!!!!!
The end section of this song is amazing. It's also a fucking wrist killer hahaha!
Mr. incredible
The first Ziltoid is maybe my favourite album of his, after the unequalled Synchestra. Love this song! One of the few who still does something "progressive".
