+Str8Faced By far my favourite drummer of all time. I just love how it is so obvious that he is having a fucking blast doing what he loves, not taking himself too seriously and all that like some others.
53:00 "Time is very precious. It really is. We live on this planet for such a limited time. We waste it needlessly, ok? But for you to be here tonight, spending sixty minutes of your lifetime with us is the biggest privilege we could ever have. Thank you so much." -Dan Tompkins
+Sam Y I love how throughout the concert, Dan thanked the audience 3-4x and expressed his gratitude for their ears, support, and generosity. Class act.
Brandon Wright minute 27:34 to 42:22! in Altered state they are titled with "of matter. of mind" etc in front of them, so that collective piece is Proxy, Retrospect and Resist :)
cody thompson I think Dan sings nearly in the same range as Ashe, I really liked the athmosphere of Alterred State so I´d say they mixed perfectly. Nevertheless I also prefer Dan, hes just incredible :)
"Hey it's been a few weeks since I've watched Odyessy/Scala. I think I'll watch a few songs." *Proceeds to watch entire concert because it's so damn good*
Thank you so much Century Media for putting this concert on RUclips. Tesseract is extremely underrated IMHO and one day people will realize just how great they really are ;)
+Ryan Merica Couldn't agree more. Saw them yesterday and they've conquered every other band I've seen live. Including MUSE, who is rated the best live band in the world. So much more passion in Tesseract.
I was about to cry, so I understand them. And with three songs left (April, Nocturne and Acceptance) the fire alarm started. One of the worst moment of my life.. Luckily they shut it off after a few minutes and they could finish the show. Woah
I had goosebumps through the whole Of Matter movement... needless to say Jay, Acle, James and Amos are doing their jobs with sheer perfection. And to top off, Dan is singing even Ashes songs with a passion you don't see very often. This is high quality musicianship.
I've been a metal fan for 20+ plus years. I'm extremely picky when it comes to down to it. I can jam to almost all sorts of metal and/or rock music, being a drummer myself. My go to band has been Lamb of God for many, many years. As the Palaces Burn, Ashes of the Wake, and Sacrament being, in my opinion, the best metal albums ever produced. But being a musician myself I always keep finding myself listening to Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders or even so far back as Dream Theater for their progressive style and technical prowess. Collectively and "individually" as bands. Then I stumble upon these guys. They completely blew my mind. This to me IS perfection. I listened to one song on a Finnish radio station boasting about the latest album Polaris and I was hooked. Fucking instantly. It was like heroin for my ears. I got home after work and I got the best music "drug high" of my life... along with a few beers. Nothin' else. ;) I can't praise you guys enough.
+00ptiic AND. I'm 'onna do my best to catch you guys live when you come up to the freezing noridic countries in the spring of -16. Stockholm being the best bet since you guys aren't gonna be conquering Finland the upcoming year.
I thought that only O'hara could sing Altered State. I'm truly astonished. Ashe has a voice that you cannot find anywhere else, but Dan is absolutely insane. Chapeau to both: they're exaggerately terrific.
I was very impressed with Dan absolutely nailing “Singularity”. He has a slightly lower range, but I’ve noticed that he’s better at singing completely in tune.
Performing someone else's work is always going to be Risky because that artist is instantly going to be compared to and judged with automatic bias towards the original. And I hate to even enter the stupid Dan vs Ashe debate which is plaguing every Tesseract post on the internet but: No vocalist is absolutely perfect every show, especially when they push the limits as far as Tesseract does. I love Ashe, but even he was FAR from perfect on his OWN material and his stage presence wasn't even near as exhausting as Dan's. Dan is killing it.
Molitoth That wasn't whistle register. It was certainly up there, but it wasn't technically whistle register. Regardless, those were impressive notes. d-_-b
Given the technicality of each of their songs, this has to be one of the best live performances ever recorded. Everyone was top notch, Dan's voice was silky smooth 'till the end, the drums are irreproachable, the bassist and the guitarist kick ass... The mixing is so bloody good every song sounds like the one from their CD.
Nederland Schaak Dan is phenomenal Ashe uses his voice like an instrument and can create some very intricate and unique harmonies, which is why I like Ashe a little more. But they both kill it and are my personal top two favourite vocalists!
This band is nothing short of spectacular. What a special special live performance. The atmosphere, the vibe... Incredible. Surreal. We all know what incredible musicians all these men are. Nothing needs to be added there. Its great to have Dan back! One of my favorite singers! That said, credit where its due, its impossible to say who's "better".. But my god.. The vocal parts Ashe wrote for the Altered State songs are just.. Mind blowing. They connect with you in the most gut wrenching way. The feels trip during Retrospect and Resist right now were nothing short of spiritual. What a special band. Cannot wait for album no.3!
I got major goosebumps when Dan enters the scene at 1:33 with the hardest vocal passage on all of their albums to date and he nails it like a champ!! Beyond impressed at how good this sounds live.
The deep growls from Amos were so intense! TesseracT is really a so very passionate and skilled band, the feeling in every note, the performance, perfection. Needless to say the instruments were so damn in flow. Daniel really just killed it with his voice. He really has such a great range of possibilities and he does really cool variations and he also does that live. Please guys, promise me only one thing: always look up for yourselves, be safe, stay cool and keep on making passionate fucking music
Praise God for the youth of today carrying the torch and making REAL music!!!! These boys are on the top of my current recommendations for anyone with a brain. Live long and please prosper - and keep writing! - from an old fart who had the providence of growing up with "Kansas" (the band) in Topeka, Kansas (when first "Kansas" album was released) and who had the pleasure of opening for Dream Theater on their 1st album tour when they were the youth carrying the torch.
I'll just say this on Dan and Ashe as vocalists, and these are just my speculations and opinions: Ashe has a softness and silkyness in his voice that Dan does not and will never get. That quality is what I liked about Ashe on Altered State. It was a softer album in many ways, more produced, as well, which fit his voice. Ashe is a natural singer, born with that soulful voice, not a lot of training, if I was to guess. However, Dan has a more raw and brutal, sort of on the nose approach to singing, he holds on to the notes in a very captivating way (at least to me), his melodies are different than most, and of course, he screams, and god I loved his screaming on One. One is also a rawer album, there is less vocal layering, but it's also very hypnotic to me, the instrumental parts are just so good. These qualities are what I loved about One. I'm guessing Dan gained his vocal talents, which the man has in spades, no doubt about that, through training and experience. I'm thinking he had to fight and work his ass off to get his voice where he wanted it to be, which is how I feel you can differentiate between Ashe and Dan's approaches to singing, but I may be reading way too much into my own guesses and wild speculations. If it's not apparent, I like them both equally, for different reasons that I feel have as much merit as the other. Also, Dan's voice wasn't at his full range when this was recorded, so just know that he can do better than what is already pretty darn good here:)
@@twinny_mi It’s absolutely stellar. He really made it his own, in a great, great way. Plays around with it to suit his range and comfort, and still hits dem high notes. Can’t wait for new material from them, because man, what a singer, what a band!
I'm not very familiar with the singers that the band has had, could you tell me in what albums have singed one and the other? I've tried searching it but I didn't find anything. And your analysis was very interesting 💙
Agreed! They have a very clear image of what they want artistically... Everything, from the compositions, the lyrics, the guitar tones, their logo, their album covers seem to be connected. This is one of the most unique and amazing bands on the planet.
Never heard a band sing so well in a live concert!! This right here is pure talent, no computers, no tricks, just talent, and this goes unrecognized completely!! Human mainstream stupidity knows no boundaries!!!
to be fair, everything they do live is computer based, they run the whole show from a computer. But they still play live and have proven to master their instruments. Using computers live is totally acceptable :)
No, they are running Steinberg Cubase throughout the show. Basically they are playing along to the studio version. Synths, extra guitars, harmony vocals, loops, all that stuff is from a laptop which is on the left side of the stage. I believe they also use it to program all the sound changes for the guitars (no pedal board dancing) and I'm assuming they run the light cues as well as they are so tightly synched up with the music.
Animals as Leaders, Chon, Persefone, Behold... The Arctopus, Haken, Between the Buried and Me, There are literally tons of bands tighter than this band lol. They aren't very technical
+Keegan Alek Yeah, there are plenty of bands that play more technical riffs, but imo most of them lack the killer groove that Tesseract manages to pull off, even with all the polyrhythms they're playing over
i just saw them and honestly it still sounded similar to this. i believe they bring their own sound guy on the road because the sound was just so tight
cooliocaptin517 I don't doubt that they sound great live, but dry through a board with no other mixing would be ridiculous. I've been around enough audio production to recognize a well mixed sound when I hear one.
This is awesome! Just finished watching the whole thing. Purely amazing. Dan hits almost every single note perfectly! Near flawless instrumentation from everyone else. This band kicks ass!
steelhorseclub I talked to someone who was there and he can assure that they sounded tight, but this mix definitely has some compressions added and has been mastered.
BLFilms View the full performance from the November 6th, 2014 show in London! Available on CD/DVD & LP/DVD! That is in the video description my friend, this was one show.
MrSharpShape No but in terms of the sound recording, each song is from a different gig: Odyssey (audio) Official Tracklisting 1. Singularity (recorded in Moscow, Russia) 2. Deception - Concealing Fate Part Two (recorded in Birmingham, UK) 3. The Impossible - Concealing Fate Part Three (recorded in Nottingham, UK) 4. Perfection/Epiphany - Concealing Fate Parts Four/Five (recorded in Rome, Italy) 5. Origin - Concealing Fate Part Six (recorded in Strasbourg, France) 6. Of Matter - Proxy (recorded in Koln, Germany) 7. Of Matter - Retrospect (recorded in Nijmegen, Netherlands) 8. Of Matter - Resist (recorded in Budapest, Hungary) 9. April (recorded in Paris, France) 10. Nocturne (recorded in Manchester, UK) 11. Acceptance - Concealing Fate Part One (recorded in Moscow, Russia)
BLFilms The site indicates that the CD/LP (Odyssey) was indeed recorded on different locations, but the DVD (Scala) was live from a single show. Having just listened to my vinyl I can say the mastering/recording is not the exact same as the DVD. But both are awesomeness.
Greatest band to ever exist. Period. I’m not sure I’ve gone a single day in a year without listening to them. Dan and the crew are absolutely unreal. Cannot wait to see them live one day.
I loved Altered State for that reason. The whole album has like you said "almost spiritual" undertones throughout. Almost like an ominous warning of something. Beautiful.
Acle Kahney is an absolute genius of our age. This music is the most engaging, dramatic, heartwrenching, heartwarming music I've ever experienced. Can't wait to see you in February!
I've probably watched this two dozen times over the last week. These guys are so solid, and Dan is perfection live. Can't wait to see them in November!
i don't know if i want to cry or laugh... This is completely amazing! They found the tesseract and i found it through them. This is an odyssey indeed! Salutes and greetings from Venezuela.
AWESOME PERFORMANCE! BRAVO!!! I know there are some Ashe's widows arround, and I respect them because Altered State it's such a perfect piece of art....but NO ONE can deny that Dan hits those high notes way better!! I mean... He can really hit 'em live! Amazing! P.S.: It would have been perfect having Eden on that setlist!! I need more than 1 hour of this perfection!!!
It's been a month since i found these dudes and i cant stop listen them ...... Great drums guitars bass vocals !!!! Damn they are so fucking nice and different !!!!!
Love this band. Just have one questions, and by no means am I a professional musician like some of you apparently are that comment on these videos. But why don't you hear any like blistering guitar solos from these guys during their songs? They are clearly some of the best musicians around but you don't hear any solos.
Guitar solos wont compliment TesseracTs music as its just not that style. you wont find many solos in progressive music. vocals take care of the melodies and the instruments are strictly rhythmic or ambient, in this case any ways.

Am I the only one who thinks the vocalist is incredible?
No i love dan more then ashe. Ashes higher vocals dont mix well with this band
It mixed perfectly with tesseract, ashe gave tesseract a whole new life that they never had
Nah tesseract didnt need a girly voice and if they want that kind of voice find a female vocalist. Like nikki
cody thompson I think Dan sings nearly in the same range as Ashe, I really liked the athmosphere of Alterred State so I´d say they mixed perfectly. Nevertheless I also prefer Dan, hes just incredible :)
cody thompson I think Ashe is more creative with his melodies in the writing process, but Dan sings Ashe's songs better than Ashe, so there you go.
"Hey it's been a few weeks since I've watched Odyessy/Scala. I think I'll watch a few songs."
*Proceeds to watch entire concert because it's so damn good*
I listen to it once a week, crowd gets me just as hyped
They should have BOTH vocalists.
Hank Hill Agreed.
Or none,hehe
tonykratos
I would actually be equally in support of this, if they wrote music intentionally for that style.
Hank Hill that would be the best thing ever
Hank Hill @ 39:15 - I was thinking exactly that. Would have been a really nice duet. Would have blown everyone's mind.

Welcome back to TesseracT, Dan.
Thank you so much Century Media for putting this concert on RUclips. Tesseract is extremely underrated IMHO and one day people will realize just how great they really are ;)
Brian Anderson 100%, brother!
Brian Anderson
underrated? I've been hearing only good things about them frequently (something can be both good and not underrated).
Brian Anderson Seeing Animals as Leaders, then this, on the same evening, was godly.
Most underrated ever
Brian Anderson i fucking agree....it's just a question of time
*while I sit on the RUclips homepage* "Fuck, I forgot to watch Odyssey/Scala today."
Now we need one with the songs from Polaris.
My thoughts exactly 😂
+victor rangel they might actually have this year in 2016
+OffLeatherWings There were recording the audio at the Nottingham show
+OffLeatherWings or you could go to one of their concerts instead of just watching youtube? Saw them last month, tickets were only £15
+Sam Smith I did go to the nottingham show. I love a dvd (or blu ray ) of the tour so I can watch at home
Absolutely life changing live. By far the best band I've seen in concert.
+Ryan Merica Couldn't agree more. Saw them yesterday and they've conquered every other band I've seen live. Including MUSE, who is rated the best live band in the world. So much more passion in Tesseract.
Martine Akselsen It was literally an out-of-body experience. I've seen people cry after they finish. Honestly, I don't blame them.
I was about to cry, so I understand them. And with three songs left (April, Nocturne and Acceptance) the fire alarm started. One of the worst moment of my life.. Luckily they shut it off after a few minutes and they could finish the show. Woah
+Martine Akselsen I heard about that show. Dan posted on Twitter about it.
I can't wait until they come back to the States. I'm doing a multi-city binge, at least 4 shows. Once per tour is not nearly enough.
a buddy just told me about these guys, and I am going to see them in October this year!
24:13. A#5. Incredible.
Somebody deleted their comment saying that there was no chord there. To be clear, I was referring to the note A#5, not the chord A#5.
thats one place I gotta say that Dan beats Ashe... that falsetto
This is the singer thats on Polaris, right?
Yup, Dan. He was in One as well.
@@awol.oper8r hmmm, earthside: a dream in static, cough cough.
Amos was the last person in this band I expected to scream.
Well, get used to it, bitch.
Nullll1111 ? Dude. What’s wrong with you? 😂 calm down
he screamed since 2010 what are you talking about? he growled nascent on every live i saw
I don't know what the fuck Dan was doing at 35:38 but it turned into something fucking beautiful before I could think anything else.
Them and Gojira in the same concert. My body is ready.
Where are you seeing them?
I'm going to the Dallas show.
10/22 at the Palladium in Worcester Mass. I won a contest that got me a signed poster by them and 2 tickets to the concert

I thought that only O'hara could sing Altered State.
I'm truly astonished.

Chapeau to both: they're exaggerately terrific.
I concur! I honestly thought this was Ashe signing as the first time that I heard this I was, I literally was only listening. WOW!
I was very impressed with Dan absolutely nailing “Singularity”. He has a slightly lower range, but I’ve noticed that he’s better at singing completely in tune.
24:30 LIVE.
Only idiots claim Dan can't sing.
One of the best live vocal performances I have ever heard and I am not even half way through.
Molitoth some of the super high stuff was of key and a bit risky. but otherwise an amazing vocal performance

Animals as Leaders, Chon, Persefone, Behold... The Arctopus, Haken, Between the Buried and Me, There are literally tons of bands tighter than this band lol. They aren't very technical
+Keegan Alek Yeah, there are plenty of bands that play more technical riffs, but imo most of them lack the killer groove that Tesseract manages to pull off, even with all the polyrhythms they're playing over
Yeah, lotsa tight bands brah
The production on this live recording is insane, but at the same time I know its live, cause they are just that fucking good.
The sound has been mixed and mastered post production. This is how all modern audio dvd's are done.
i just saw them and honestly it still sounded similar to this. i believe they bring their own sound guy on the road because the sound was just so tight
although from what i remember, the drums weren't this present. this video has them turned way up, specifically the snare
ryanexsus Nah they sound like this live. I've seen them. Damn fine show
cooliocaptin517
I don't doubt that they sound great live, but dry through a board with no other mixing would be ridiculous. I've been around enough audio production to recognize a well mixed sound when I hear one.
This is awesome! Just finished watching the whole thing. Purely amazing. Dan hits almost every single note perfectly! Near flawless instrumentation from everyone else. This band kicks ass!
Saw them live again a few weeks ago... Best damn show I've ever seen.
Still here in 2020 \m/
Dan Tompkins...The one true vocalist of Tesseract.
Just saw them on Tuesday. F*cking fantastic.
I was reluctant to listen to their live performances for some time and boy was I wrong...
just seen tesseract and gojira last night. good times...
This was recorded Live!? Holy djent Batman, that's tight!
steelhorseclub I talked to someone who was there and he can assure that they sounded tight, but this mix definitely has some compressions added and has been mastered.
steelhorseclub Each song is actually from a different gig
BLFilms View the full performance from the November 6th, 2014 show in London! Available on CD/DVD & LP/DVD! That is in the video description my friend, this was one show.
MrSharpShape No but in terms of the sound recording, each song is from a different gig: Odyssey (audio)

BLFilms The site indicates that the CD/LP (Odyssey) was indeed recorded on different locations, but the DVD (Scala) was live from a single show. Having just listened to my vinyl I can say the mastering/recording is not the exact same as the DVD. But both are awesomeness.
Greatest band to ever exist. Period.
I’m not sure I’ve gone a single day in a year without listening to them. Dan and the crew are absolutely unreal. Cannot wait to see them live one day.
So fucking glad to see Daniel Tompkins back. "One" was perfection
I agree dude, most people say they prefer Ashe
He's not bad, but Daniel is better for the Band, they look more conected
Milton Mendoza I think their both good, but as shown here Dan has more control over his vocals.
Milton Mendoza thats because "most" people discovered tesseract when altered state came out.....One is better and so is Dan!
Good point Debby DePrati
Major chills around the 24 minute mark, Dan's voice is unbelievable.
Thank god that music is not dead.
Pretty sure music is around to stay.
I've seen Tesseract for the first time in NYC. One of the best live performance I have ever seen.
everytime I have a bad day or whatever, I listen to this and it really cheers me up! everyFCKNtime.. thank you so much TSSRCT
One can only feel euphoric after listening to these guys.
Resist feels almost spiritual.
I loved Altered State for that reason. The whole album has like you said "almost spiritual" undertones throughout. Almost like an ominous warning of something. Beautiful.
***** Agree, although I think the second half of Perfection (after 18:57) is even more intense, I was a bit surprised by that :)
Meh he didn't really do the song justice in my opinion
I was thinking the same thin
And I love dan don't get me wrong I just think he didn't do the best job on that song
THIS VOCALIST IS all over the place.
he often sounds like hes from Karnivool or Tool.
Acle Kahney is an absolute genius of our age. This music is the most engaging, dramatic, heartwrenching, heartwarming music I've ever experienced. Can't wait to see you in February!
I have to pee really bad, but I can't bring myself to pause the music so that I can get up and go pee.
And at that moment 3 years apart, we shared something special
@@kai_bittner I connected with both of you
I can't WAIT to see them and Skyharbor in November. Holy FUCK my dream come true. That is going to be an unforgettable night.
52:10 is my favorite scene from this whole thing. Don't know why, I just love see him get close to the camera and back off like a majestic creature
Best concert I've seen in my whole life. From the very beginning to the end.
I've probably watched this two dozen times over the last week. These guys are so solid, and Dan is perfection live. Can't wait to see them in November!
Very nice, an incredible amount of work must have gone into the production of this beyond just the show itself! The editing, mixing, etc.
i know this is two years old but i hadn't noticed this comment before. I loved your vids dude, nice to see that you're a tesseract fan too
This world dont deserve TesseracT amidst us :) #respect #respect #respect
Holy shit, the frakin' killed this show.
Come back to Ottawa! Or really anywhere in Ontario/Quebec, I will travel to see you guys again!
That final with Dan embracing people is priceless
10:21 "God, why am i here?"
+Juan Caicedo I love when Amos goes up to the front row to groove!
He was singing along later in the video!!
This is one of the best rock/metal vocal performances I’ve ever seen
Fucking perfect. This performance had me in tears.
Seriously the best band around right now.
My god, the grooves @ 4:38
Incredible performance -- thank you for uploading!
Daniel fucking Tompkins
I just love this guy
i don't know if i want to cry or laugh... This is completely amazing! They found the tesseract and i found it through them. This is an odyssey indeed! Salutes and greetings from Venezuela.
Had he head banging in bed and nearly spilling my tea, fantastic show wish I was there
that as a live vocal is incredible
AWESOME PERFORMANCE! BRAVO!!!
I know there are some Ashe's widows arround, and I respect them because Altered State it's such a perfect piece of art....but NO ONE can deny that Dan hits those high notes way better!! I mean... He can really hit 'em live! Amazing!
P.S.: It would have been perfect having Eden on that setlist!! I need more than 1 hour of this perfection!!!
5:15 DCI Blue Devils just announced Of Energy as one of their repertoire this Summer. Looking forward to it!
It's been a month since i found these dudes and i cant stop listen them ......
Great drums guitars bass vocals !!!! Damn they are so fucking nice and different !!!!!
He nailed April so damn much
39:30
in this moment, the creature known as danashe was born.
DAN’ASH sounds like a kickass arachnid boss from Diablo haha
omg can u feel the symmetry, i saw daniel in adl almost fainted the boys were in point !!!!!!!
Everything about this band is perfection! Tesseract for life!!
This is the Tesseract that keeps my attention for an hour, Dan is so on point and brings something truly unique on stage. Flawless victory!
I love the way this is shot. Rather than focusing on band members it focuses on creating a suitable atmosphere for the show
The feels are real.
2021 and still epic
The brilliance cannot be understated. One of the best and most important bands in the genre making music today. Thank you for this!
Fantastic performance!
I love the laugh of pure bliss at 38:03
Dan channelled some Cedric Bixler at 24:16 haha. Holy shit
I was there and i must say they really were that tight, tesseract are a phenomenal band
43:30 SATUS FYED!
Dan + Of Matter = Holy Shit.
I was drunk in the bar and listened this with in-ear -plugs. I came home and listened it again. Holy crap :D
Saw these guys last month in Birmingham, unbelievable stuff.
I really wanna hear Ashe doing Hexes...
It would be so beautiful if they did a concert with both Dan and Ashe harmonizing.
pure satisfaction at its finest!!!
I agree severely
I love ASH is he in a band right now?
@@jimmydurmody2490 Yes he is, they're called "Voices from the fuselage" and have just released an album
Love this band. Just have one questions, and by no means am I a professional musician like some of you apparently are that comment on these videos. But why don't you hear any like blistering guitar solos from these guys during their songs? They are clearly some of the best musicians around but you don't hear any solos.
Guitar solos wont compliment TesseracTs music as its just not that style. you wont find many solos in progressive music. vocals take care of the melodies and the instruments are strictly rhythmic or ambient, in this case any ways.
If you like solos and prog, check out NeObliviscaris, they are my favorite band (close with this band), they are brilliant.

Holy fuck! I can't stop being amazed by Dan's vocals.
Where have you been for all my life?
Welcome to my music library, Tesseract
Someone get the fucking video guys tripods.
Dan's voice is hypnotic on proxy. Better than the studio version with Ashe.
Awesome :) Right into my FULL CONCERTS playlist. ROCK ON!!!!!!!!
