A lot
Like a lot, a lot.
@@Vibekilla Eyedea, you said, "Forget me." But it turns out there are people meeting you each day, loving and thanking you for what you had given...No matter how small the group, you made something people want to remember. There's nobody I've ever met that changed my life like you did, and I never met you. I think we would have been friends. I miss you... I miss you? I often think about the future we lost when you lost yours. I just think about the life you were leading, and wish I got to see what you could have done with it. I've never met anyone else I truly wanted to see how their story unfolded. Maybe it makes me a cold SOB, but I had a heart for yours.
So much. I'm mad at myself I never saw him in person.
Yes we do. Rest In Love Michael 💛✨✨✨✨
my wife and i drove 12 hours to be at this show that night. truly my favorite artist, worth every minute of the drive and then some.
lmao, ur so lucky
I never had that many friends; I started loving him when I needed him and he was dead
that's bad ass!! He was on another level! RIP Mikey
"I'm dumb enough to let your silence talk me into a speech."
I loved that so much.
Just as powerful as a statement today.
"I swear someday, I'm gonna be somebody's hero
But until that day, I'm just another fuckin' weirdo" -eyedea the normal
"it's not the size of the boat, it's how many people drown to death when it crashes into an iceberg"...hahahaha....fuck i miss this guy.
No one will ever write so much beauty and honesty. No one will ever touch him. No one ever could. Always loved and never forgotten. R.Eye.P
COULDN'T SAY IT BETTER AT THE MOMENT!!! THANK GOD FOR EVERY SINGLE EYEDEA FAN THIS MAN IS A GOD
Best is when he remains a hidden gem because 'hip-hop heads' usually listen to all the xanax/lean induced garbage produced today.
Matt Sendor Eydea is probably my favorite mc of all time. But you know he was an opiate user and that's how he died? Just funny you call it "Xanax/lean induced rap" when probably a lot of his shit was written/performed under the influence of opiates and alcohol. Not trying to start a fight but I think what drugs an artist use has nothing to do with the "talent" or whether it's good or not....just sayin
except Sadistik.
+raykowski13 he was talking about songs that show drugs in a positive light, something eyedea never did besides with psychedelics
the best part is his actual funny jokes dont get laughed at.... and the stupid ones like "i have good weed" get roars.... love this dude R.eye.P
As a fan of metal/hardcore I find it funny that Eyedea is perhaps the only artist I've come across who actually screams with inflection and authenticity haha
+Sean Parrish Carbon Carousel, if you haven't found them already.
Death grips
He puts his heart into it. He made music his life so we could enjoy it. Selfless
+Ben Gemmell is that modest mouse?
As kooky says, Carbon Carousel is amazingg. If you like acoustic then I recommend "Micheal Larsen - When In Rome Kill The King" (album). I'm a fan of a lot of genres but each album he ever made grew on me in it's own way over time.
Would've killed to see you play man. RIP.
I love how this concert was in 2009 and there are still comments put up on this video daily. R. EYE. P.
Still relevant. Still real hip hop. RIP maestro.
lets be real this should have millions and millions of views. we're watching two geniuses in action
27 years old and still a little kid at heart. his body can age and die, but eyedeas spirit never does R.EYE.P
Burn fetish is a masterpiece. The energy between them is wicked! The most real people die young, the world needs
real, he still feels alive and I just want to jump through the screen and give him a hug.
Eyedea, stand up comedian, philosopher, and rapper. Love the guy. Damn I Miss Eyedea
54yrs old just found this and it is fucken dope!!!
Teach it and you’re fucking an amazing person. Even if you’re you’re 54 or 55 now.
I'm a combat vet and the song he sang about the gun owner... sounded like he was describing me. He just opened my mind, and I heard smile before but I listened to the words more this time... amazing. youre amazing music and messages have reached me on the east coast EYEDEA! You just fucking opened my mind because thats exactly how i feel about guns, and you was right, and i would have never thought of that. man youre music is amazing and im so happy I found it. I wish you was still around man...
Eyedea gave you the write too think
Josh Berry
haha right wow man..but still im glad people are still finding out about him and keeping him"alive"
dante carone i know man i always try to show his music and battles to people i will always be a fan
@@dantecarone4426 gods dont die they just get stronger
lehman you know
Couldn't sleep, woke up in the middle night and eventually thought about what a loss the loss of Eyedea has been for music, art, poetry, the world...lucky to have one song.
I unfortunately didn't find out about Eyedea until a couple of years after his passing, and that already right there was such a huge hit after going through E&A's catalog. I just lost my lil furball kitty companion after 15 years last week, and days before I had to put her down, the lyrics for the second half of Hay Fever kept coming up in my head. I've been going over all of Mikey's material again since then and it's so fucking crazy how underrated he is. It's awesome to also read all the comments from people who respond to these videos that grew up with him and how much of a good person he was, truly a huge loss to humanity. It's wild to try and imagine where we would be now if his life wasn't cut so goddamn short.
I was one of the "under 21" on the ground level. Even rolling so I will remember it forever. At the time I didn't know who he was, but that night I was revealed the divine. Eyedea's transcend the concept of time. His energy at the time was simply one of a kind.
ROLLING ON TOP OF IT! MY GOD U R LUCKY
Im 23 gonna be 24....fuck
I was there that night as well under 21 of course..my bf at the time was a huge fan and introduced him music to me eyedea signed my shirt that I still have and grateful for
how could no one see the pain .. he was clearly crying out for help , just listen to him spill every emotion out on the page.. this has to be the most powerful video I have ever watched in my life
Gavin Jackson I was fortunate enough to see it in person. It was, truly, the most emotional and powerful performance. Literally awesome.
Gavin Knight Jackson
??? It wasnt a suicide you idiot. It wasnt an intentional overdose either, it was his daily medication.
@@uncleclem7381 they found 8 pills in his apartment, it wasn’t intentional, but that doesn’t detract from the sadness of addiction.
Hell. The scream at 11:38 is enough to see he was completely dead inside.
we saw the pain, but many of us were just as sick, if not worse. the last time I saw him, he was on suboxone - he was trying. unless you've lived through opiate addiction....it's very hard to understand.
i have watched this every day for the past 82 days now because i realized im losing a sense of who i am and seeing eyedea as a real person in real time kinda keeps me going.
I hope you pulled through yo
Lunchbox?
I don't think he'd have wanted to be 34 this year..This was a great memorial post, really demonstrates his personality.
Tru
11 people have no Eyedea. RIP
This may be the greatest video footage ever,...... seriously.
IT STILL IS. The highs and lows blended together like world's greatest rollercoaster and well worth the emotion caused throughout.
My most watched video on youtube,as someone perceptive noticed- it's not even poetry, but pure emotion of such immense power- one can't get enough.
This and his live performance with Slug at UCLA.....
Technology has been spun on its head, this is why the internet is here
@@bumbklaatt4228 and one of those things we go to when we feel lost
"But when my soul steps to exit this frame, I will be reincarnated as rain."
Will Bc Ever since he was young he told his mom he would come back as rain.
+Tristan Matolcsy Is that really a fact? please reply me how u heard
I heard it in an interview with his mom, Kathy Averill.
mind blown
I absolutely fucking loved the whole First Born album!!R.eye.P.
Holy fuck, Hay Fever was immensely powerful. Knowing the friendship Micheal had with Sasha.
+Tristan M thanks about letting me know her name.
that is the girl his fans must loathe? what's her whole name? "All Mikey ever wanted was all of her heart!" R.EYE.P MY SWEETEST FRIEND MY OWN GOD
Sasha was his dog
Sasha was his dog that he ended up having to put down.
Thank you to who ever recorded this
What an amazing person. So sad he didnt get the help he needed. R.EYE.P
eyedea is the one and only god of lyrics.
Nas?
***** You're joking eyedea is good but he is no nas
Nas wrote one of the best rap albums of all time at the age of 19. Eyedea is a good at freestyles
Better than nas wen it comes to freestyles, compromise?
Definitely not the deepest lyrics of any artist. I did look deeper into his his career and he is one of the legends of rap, but even among underground artist nas is and forever will be the best to come from underground hip hop.
"You saw Scribble Jam. I rule." RIP to the greatest.
Happy birthday Mikey. We miss you.
what the fuck this is amazing why was I sleeping on this I need to show this to all my friends
I was there, it was AMAZING!! He's the greatest of all time. My favorite musician for life. Nicest person to talk to and a brilliant mind that'll be missed by many REYEP
Definitely one of those people you can now forever think about when coming up with those 'dream dinner party' guestlists
16:50 I started crying
Everyone once in a while, I come to pay my respects. Rest in peace King, we miss you.
Eyedea & Kristoff on one stage, I would love to have seen that. I wish I could have seen Eyedea live, my favourite musician of all time and really put his heart into every performance.
You were the GOAT of all Music!
I don't know how many times I meant to listen to just one song from this...but I watch the whole thing every time. The best hour I think I can spend with my time. Love Eyedea AND Abilities.
HA! just happened to me! again too!
Rapper, poet, rock star, comic. Wonder what would have been next for him.
I can't believe there are only 60,000 views on this...
strait up shaman, this man def goes down as the prophet of minnesota
This performance of Spin Cycle is killer
he was such a hilarious awkward amazing cute comedian as well! this really shows his character.
Im so lucky I got to see him in 2004/2005-ish festival Hultsfred in Sweden , I hadnt heard of him and Abilities and I was like SHIT , the crowd was on FIRE as was I! Brother Ali performed as well there and I remember after the concerts Eyedea and Brother Ali was selling merch,CDs, tshirts, i bought two of Eyedeas and 2 of Ali's CDs and I REALLY fuckin regret not get Eyedea to sign the CDs I bought from him. He is now my favorite rapper/poet/philosopher. He is my main inspiration now that Ive gotten back into writing and tryin to not Suck at rappin my lyrics. One fun anecdote , some ppl REALLY wanted Eyedeas absolutely grosse as hell tshirt haha, it was so wet of his sweat that it looked like he had showered with the shirt on. the crowd waiting to buy their merch was so LIT haha , Eyedea threw the tshirt off to the the crowd haha and many of us laughed and thought it was such a great moment. Eyedea smiled haha, he put on a new shirt ,prolly one of the one he was sellin there. Ive seen many artists in festivals, not just hiphop , but I saw Dilated Peoples, Brother Ali, Immortal (omfg he was SO FUCKIN DOPE!) . but Eyedea /Oliver Heart(got that record right from him back then) has been the one that I to THIS day. Have made the most impact on me. So sad...so sad that he's gone, I hope his legacy lives on.. 😢😢
Legit he is killing on the stand up. It's so crazy how all comedians want to be rock stars vice versa. Also watching this genius in the throes of creativity is like being reborn. I'm crying. I pissed. Im happy. I want to grab him and tell him how fucking amazing he is. I shouldn't have gotten so stoned lol
You know everyone came for Eyedea and abilities. Atmosphere and slug were the sideshow.
Discovered slug and the rhymesayers crew right as eyedea passed...I'll never forgive myself for not seeing Mikey live. Yet I still find inspiration and hope in his songs. They have gotten me through and still getting me through some of the toughest moments in my life. Can't say anything but thank you for everything.
same here except i got to see him live in Hultsfred in sweden in 2005-ish i think. hadnt heard of Eyedea & Abilities as well as Brother Ali before that. i have some fun anecdotes to tell happened after the concert when Ali wnd Eyedea sold their merch and I got 2 of their both albums. I regret being too shy to ask Eyedea to sign the records.. I miss Eyedea. he is my nr 1 inspiration now that Im tryin to get back into writing
I swear I used to listen to Eyedea everyday back in middle school n high school, then the last 8-9 years I forgot he existed & now I’ve journeyed back down the wormhole again which feels like the first time all over again. Man this dude was way ahead of his time he was more lyrically & philosophically advanced than artists are in 2023 he is forever a legend. Also he combined rock influences with hip hop before anyone else had even thought of making music like this. Truly a once a millennium type of talent
So much emotion, so raw, so beautiful. It is a shame that we lost someone so beautiful that was able to formulate his own human experience and translate it into music, but what he left will survive and live on to give insight and maybe even illumination to those that discover his music and pay attention to its own living emotion.
R.eye.p. found you guys in 2004 and I'm still here
Here for my weekly watch
All of the verses in the very beginning from old projects give me a tingle in my spine (more so than his studio albums) every time.
I learn more every time I watch this.
We will never forget. R. Eye. P.
i watch this a few times a day at work. RIP eyedea. You are missed and people are still finding out about you and missing you just the same
michael larson(eydea) has always been a musical genius! im so happy i got to see him live a few times they are experiences i will never forget!
thanks for the good times mikey
Man i miss you :/ I'm glad your concious lives on who knows where it went or where it will go but i know its lurking around :)
Today is 7 years that a legend passed away we miss u I never thought I could be so close to another person yet so far away rest easy your in a better place now
Its hard for me to watch eyedea videos, his music has gotten me through so much for so many years that it literally gives me eerie chills when I watch him live now. He will never know how many lives he has touched. We all miss you
Eyedea took me by my throat! Better then god himself! Rip to the goat eyedea!
Wow I'm happy to have seen this in person. miss you mikey
That double time in juxtaposition with the half time will always be my favorite little part in any eyedea song. I just think it's so bad ass.
Watching this again, i don't know how many times it's been. Just had this strange burst of tears for 3 seconds at the end of Hay Fever, fuck it's gonna be hard. My world will be turned upside down
2 of the best ever to step on the stage. Eyedea was truly one of a kind and is greatly missed by anyone who loved him and his music.
Never got to see him live .. and that kills me
Those who have EYEs to se and Ears to hear… listen and feel the spirit behind this set..R.eye.p Michael but this ending isn’t a surprise.
Best video in the history of the Internet. Best Live thing I wish I had a TARDIS for, this is the time and space I would HAVE TO visit.
those jokes are golden ^^ rip
hedlund88 I heard a while back that Eyedea was planning a stand up routine to try out a bit of comedy
hedlund88 reminds me of louis ck, early into his shows, when he's just fucking around and chuckling. R.Eye.P.
+RyanGiggsOBE He was! He said he thought he might of reached as many people as he could with music!!
Do you listen to earl sweatshirt by any chance?
Yo!! That’s a solid comedy set lol. Rip Mikey! You will forever be apart of my life.
When I was in the darkest point in my life your song “hay fever” spoke to how I felt at the time (I know it was about your dog, but the pain matched my inner pain) and the song “smile” reminded me regardless of how bad I felt it will all be ok as long as I smile (I know a lot flnthis song is sarcasm but the ending verse about how “beautiful when i don’t deny what lies within” saved my life).
Never knew you personally but you literally were there for me through your music with Abilities.
I have yet to see an artist who's still alive with this much skill and emotion. R EYE P
Sadistik and Kristoff Krane are the closest that I can think of off the top of my head.
Pretty sure I've already said this like 4-5 times on this video, but thanks for filming the show... It's almost as good as time travel.
I love this man.
+Eziokilla9595 he's mine
Oh man, I am so sad today. I wasn't aware that you are no longer with us. You were my and still are my favorite rapper. I wanted to see you live so bad. R.I.P.
Guess I will go see Slug and pay my respect. Damn. The GREAT die young! What a talented young man.
This must be your first time on the internet
i hope someone with time and finances picks up on this video, remasters it and releases it on bluray. i just want to sit and watch this repeatedly on my computer through my good headphones in better quality. its one of those truly epic gigs.
Miss you GOAT
His passing was 5 years ago today. R EYE P to a legend and may his music never be forgotten
Fluent in the language of the universe...
They are both legendary
I've literally never heard of this guy now. But respect and RIP. This is good man, master at the game. Fun. played with the crowd. A true showman.
#rip #respect I just don't see how people didn't realize he was crying out for help.
Mario Salazar that's alllll, I see watching this.. honestly
Hay Fever in particular. RIP
It’s always after the fact tho.......
Watching in 2020. Mikey is a legend.
I am so thankful for this, incredible performance from start to finish, flaws add a whole nother realm of lovely perfection. I can't count the number of times I've watched it and still get mesmerized, what a hugely devastating loss to we, the people , that he moved and inspired and saved .... Thank you so much for posting this, and Thank you Mikey, for being you 💝
We owe it to him to be inspirational and true with everything we do
Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg. Not even the jokes, just Eyedea in general and his behavior. Miss him.
Genius by day, junkie by night... REYEP Mikey.
Funny I read that comment as soon as he said it
Genius 24/7
Always come back to the live stuff. Much more emotional
I wish I could've been there.
(48:01) dang. This man is a legend.
we truly are missing out on one of the greatest performers of all time.
HareKrishna&GodBless❤️🙏
One of the world's greatest talents. They wake up the soul and engage the mind...forever LOVE...Dawn
Thanks to whoever shared this, If only I could live my dreams... I barely missed meeting my hero
Great performance
WHO THE FUCKED DISLIKED THIS VIDEO?! All right that's it!!
R.I.P. to Eyedea....... and R.I.P. to all rappers careers that never got started after he murdered them at Blaze Battle 2000.
wow he is adorable!
I'm glad there was a delay ...we got 9 minutes extra footage of a great human.
My man Eyedea had a great sense of humor.
so amazing
Such an incredible performance.
This is a gem. Thank "you".
Peace.
The interview we did with him after his album release show at Fifth Element was crazy. He was one of those guys who just being around him you could tell he was on a different level. Wish he was still around to produce more unbelievable music.
Happy 2 years in heaven brother. I miss you so much kid, but you're where you're at for your own reasons. God bless your mother, she does so much to keep you "alive". You'll always be in my heart. R.I.P. son.
spilled my beer to write this.. best ever to do it
What were you gonna write before you spilled your beer?
the same, minus the spilled beer part.
