Imagine just walking your dog and hearing this music blasting out of a random barn

[@Tokiofritz]

This was our first dance song at our wedding. People wept.

[@iancampbell1411]

I saw them live just last month and I don't think it's shown much in the video, but Christoph gives the audience the most menacing, evil looks you can imagine

[@xntruth9131]

Gira's vocal performance during the chaotic part is absolutely great

[@harrisonwintergreen1147]

Johnathan Kane, early Swans drummer, said blues musician Howlin' Wolf was a big influence on Gira. Decades later we get a tribute to Wolf aka Chester Burnett

They should do a david lynch soundtrack

Lowfi Hiphop- beats to relax/study to

[@TheCSJones]

This absolutely kills the album version.

[@Weifs]

Holy shit, Gira lost his fucking mind in this performance!

[@MrBurndonesinkchair]

I hear stuff like this, and I think 'I’m the only person who could enjoy this.' It’s comforting to know that isn’t the case and restores hope for the future of music.

Always a treat to come back to these stunningly-captured performances, as they never play old material. It's always a progression forward with these cats, I love it. This is pure necrotic blues, absolutely incredible.

[@kvltslime2261]

By far one of my favorite pieces of music of all time.

[@transcribeded]

One of the best things I have ever seen. Back here again, six years later

[@NPC.6]

Absolute perfection, as usual. Love the video editing on this last batch of vids; all beautiful.

[@123artish]

saw them a few years back and the musicians playing was just downright savage. such a brutal performance.

[@justinpontani3950]

Oh man, I would kill to see these guys live...

[@nathjcaldeira]

Will I ever be blessed enought to see them live?

[@iamdamosuzuki_]

I'm going to be seeing them in less than a week at Thalia Hall in Chicago. I'm so excited!!!

[@complications9718]

This has got to be the most intense thing I've ever seen.

[@MihaelPinter]

Next level shit. Seen them live in Zagreb on this tour. You have "concerts" and Swans concert in your life. Don t miss this if you ever get a chance.
