Nothing will beat singing Mordecai in a packed sweaty room of maybe 100 people all scream crying the words in the heat of 2006 humid august evening. I’m so glad btbam are still going hard after all these years
Everything you said brings me back to Michigan 2006 Dirt Fest at the Birch Run expo center, the only difference is this show was outside not in a small room however the thick michigan august air after almost 2 day’s rain made the atmosphere exactly as you described, their weren’t a lot of ppl this day because of all the rain however about 3-4 hours before Btbam played which they started at 9 pm I believe the rain had subsided completely leaving a hot humid but not too humid cloudy night with a sprinkling of stars complete with a half or 66% full moon. Me, my band and our group of friends were hard core so we stuck out shows whether their be rain and lightning to hot and sweaty to cold AF snowing, sleet and rain, every type of whether we watched our fav bands play through it as we also played through such weather ourselves. Sure the hardcore weather days made for great stories and very unique experiences however there is nothing like having decent enough weather to where it doesn’t effect you or the band so severally that we cant all come together and have a special moment, well all of dirt fest that year was a muddy slop of disaster, this tour was named dirt fest specifically because of the mud and dirt youd be surrounded by due to the time of year and states this small tour ran in, 2006 dirt fest was a particularly a huge shit (rain+dirt=MUD) show which caused many to go home but the few whom stuck it out til the end got too wittiness an extremely special moment where BTBAM on a small stage with a small crowd 100 ppl like you said the weather subsided and we all became one the band and sound team knew this as wel so they had the volume ever so perfect that with all 100 ppl singing you could hear the music and vocals set a notch or 2 above but not to loud as to drown out the crowds vocals and and it will always be one of my most remembered moments seeing any band, id seen BRBAM 2 times prior both were equally phenomenal but this night had just that tad bit of unique sparkly rare dust that is not easily or often recreated.

Sun of Nothing into Ants of the Sky still stands as the best transition in all of metal history, or at least, it's pretty high up there, and they nailed it.
@@notdjamesentertainment4473 yup. It already hurts to not hear the transition between the two. Had my playlist on shuffle and it fucked me up. Fuck, I can't wait to hear it in it's entirety.
Man this guy is the only vocalist who can do this style in a safe way. He sounds the same by the end of the set as he did in the beginning rather than his voice getting destroyed by the end of it. Idk how he does it
One of the greatest Progressive METAL bands of the 21st century. My favourite album by them is 'Parallax II'. Edit: Also, 'Automata II' was a late-career highlight. 'The Grid' is one of their most beautiful songs.
man ill never forget the first time i listened to colors, in my friends apartment, they left for a few and i slapped that cd into my buds cd player laying down on the floor of his room and i just felt blown away. i also felt melancholy, colors amplified the distant feeling inside me and seemed to preceed the predominant feeling i am used to today. almost like they were on to something. always ahead of the curve is btbam, i love you guys
@@lakeside1168 and honestly... I’m with you man. I’ve seen the colors set twice and it blew me away , but TGMD hits me in a way that no other music has before... but hey, I’m with ya man.. at some point we _all_ just have to close one eye and step to the side ...
I have been watching these guys for years and for the life of me I still don't know how they can keep time so impeccably (I mean, it's FLAWLESS) with such intricate and complex arrangements. It's mystifying.
in-ear monitors with a click track is probably the key. though id imagine with enough rehearsal they could do without.. definitely a group of very talented fellas.
I'd love to see them live. My hubby introduced me to this band almost 20 yrs ago. My fav song is selkies the endless obsession. The most talented band I know 💜
This band makes me proud to be a North Carolinian. Seriously, the best metal you have ever heard. NC all day baby. Been fortunate to have seen them a bunch of times. Tremont Music Hall when Colors came out \m/ I was 18 haha take me back
@@notsure1969 aw man, I never went to a show during that tour but knew I would regret it for eternity. Many years later, feeling the same way! Nice going man
i thought this was a cover band at first. they look so different since the last time ive seen them in concert. the colors concept album is unreal. you can play it start to finish on on a loop and its one giant song
Yeah its really no question. I actually cant name any prog band with an 1/8th of what they have. Its disgusting how hard they hit. The feels, the heavy, and everything in between. Sometimes feels like your brain is melting from dopamine overload
the part starting at 59:50 -1:00:06 is my favorite right before the breakdown! greatest build up to breakdown in this song but that small part has allways been my favorite

I hear this said so much. BtBAM is too good to be conpared to Pink Floyd. They're more like the 'Death' of our generation. Even that's a hard comparison to draw, only because BtBAM is obviously very eclectic.
What an amazing sound mix. What a time to be alive in man. Back when I was growing up, you basically had to haul your ass to a concert. Now I can just beam them $30 and watch the show on my ass in the comfort of my home. And it sounds infinitely better than it would at a live show.
Im about to see this live in a day less than 2 weeks. . . . Then Colors 2 two nights after. Havent been to a live show in YEARS, and this will be an absolute legendary rechristening.
I followed Dan Briggs on Myspace before he joined BtBaM. First time I had ever done something like that with a new member to a band that I already loved. Usually you hate the next guy that comes in, but I knew they were in perfect hands with Dan.
@@theriffnotebook8412 was suppose to go see them for the parallax 2 tour (which is my favorite album) in Portland but the plans got screwed up so we didn’t get to go.. same thing happened for great misdirect anniversary tour.. pretty sad.. I really hope the do a parallax anniversary tour in a couple yearswhere they play 1 and 2.. would not miss it for the world.
Ah, some parts of the White Walls solo DID sound off to me and Paul confirmed it, pretty much to Blake, at 1:02:46. What a level of musicmanship it must be to just be playing with each other!
@@thedangersofoxygen135 All of them. The lack of genuine musicality is insufferable. These guys are like a bad cliche. Endless distortion, endless sweeps, cliche basic drumming, shit singing, over use of scream growl, complete lack of real melody, piano skills lack etc. I recommend they go back to 4/4 write a good song and rebuild into the higher techniques once basics of musical art are obtained.
@@thedangersofoxygen135 I'm listening to them because they were highly recommended to me by several friends. It's funny how you identified classical as better music though I never cited it but I listen to all genres.
Lead vocal volume needed to be lowered a bit while lead guitar needed a slight boost in volume but the volume on the drums was way to low but still ITS FUCKING BTBAM, their performance was stellar as usual, thank you all for this!
BTBAM has been my favorite band for over a decade now, and that Selkies solo makes me tear up... But White Walls still makes me want to paint a goat blue and destroy something beautiful
@@oberynmartell7758 That's so unfortunate. Apparently douchebags can attain the Ultra Instinct form. I apologise preemptively if you don't watch anime or get the reference.
Blake is a f'n beast on thee kit.. I mean hell the band as a whole is just a massive powerhouse .. but i saved the best for last .... Dan is one of the best bassists i have ever heard... I give it a fuckn 10 in the good words of Billy Bob
Does Paul palm mute the last three notes of the harmonized part, right before the solo of white walls on the album? Lol. Just curious. Sounds a little different.
I had notice this, but I feel like he's doing it on purpose, cause by the end of their Coma Ecliptic tour his voice was still pretty much powerful. Like, they did "Mordecai" one time and Tommy was a fucking monster, his low fries were amazing. But it takes a toll on his singing parts. Like, right now, on their latest album tour pretty much his singing parts were better than mostly their studio version. It was a giant leap from 2016 to 2018 of his part. So, to me, I thing he's sparing his voice so he can do live songs better and actually sing for a longer time.

That album was so innovative
Same, but I include Parallax 1 with it

Yep, it's like you'd like to forget you ever heard it and do it again.
@@paulashwin247 if I could relive that album everyday I would. Actually changed my life.
I just began to appreciate what a fucking masterpiece ants of the sky is
Yeah this song stands tall to everything they've made, to me, and I love all of their music.
One of my favorites of all time... Prequel to the Sequel is another great one.
All of The Great Misdirect is great too

Man I love Briggs' tone in Colors, always have. The man plays bass boulders.
The end of white walls gives me goos bumps every time. Brought a tear to my eye this time 🤘
Yep
I was a fan of them back in the early 2000's, circa Alaska and Colors and this just made my day!
What. A. Mix. All in a basement and it sounds just like the studio. It’s amazing.
if that's Jamie's basement, i think thats where they record anyways
@@rypro525 this was in Blake's parents house iirc
The fidelity is way worse but the balancing is really good yeah.
Most original and talented bands ever period, straight mind blowing to watch them play!
I listen to BtBaM every once and a while just as a reminder of what true musicianship looks and sounds like
This band makes me proud to be a North Carolinian. Seriously, the best metal you have ever heard. NC all day baby. Been fortunate to have seen them a bunch of times. Tremont Music Hall when Colors came out \m/ I was 18 haha take me back
My all time favorite album. It's perfect.
The older I get, the most I appreciate Colors
Yep.
Colors II time
Me too. And I already fully appreciated it when I first heard it in 2008. It just never, ever gets old for me.
59:00 Dustie just casually tapping without even looking. Stone cold
dude's a badass
dudes played that part more times than Ive taken a breath lol
Had this running in the background and forgot this wasn't the recorded album I was listening to

Exactly! I agree. It is one huge, epic song. And yeah they do look soooooo different! It's so weird!
Paul and Tommy swapped their hair.
Yeah Colors was a fantastic album. No filler all killer.
@@Grimeyhoob That might be the perfect description. Thanks for that! Killer; no filler!
That WHITE WALLS voice is a wail from beyond. Gotdamn it chills.
Guitar bro down during Selkies put a big smile on my face. Thanks guys.
Oh my gosh it was so great seeing the camera pan out and Dustie staring at Paul! Haha! XD
Those keys go straight to my heart every time. Thank you for this masterpiece.
1:00:03 Tommy getting two bottle flip attempts in before crushing “WHITE WALLS”
The fucking greatest of our generation, they deserve a title! BTBAM is the best prog metal band.
Yeah its really no question. I actually cant name any prog band with an 1/8th of what they have. Its disgusting how hard they hit. The feels, the heavy, and everything in between. Sometimes feels like your brain is melting from dopamine overload
Man I wish they’d put this out digitally or something. These guys are so damn good
I mean, they already have a live album of colors.
Digitally? The album itself is available everywhere plus they did a live album front to back of this.
RUclips is digital last time i checked
im so thankful to be alive to experience this band. best live band musicians
1:14:10 This guy could outsweep any janitor.
unless that janitor is Jeff Loomis or Jason Richardson lol
Josh Middleton bro
Only band that I can forget I’m not listening to the album recording if I’m not watching the video.

Shout to Blake Richardson BTW... one of my #1 influences in music in general since 2008.
I saw them on the colors tour, it honestly was one of those moments I'll remember forever, but for them it was a Saturday at the music farm.
Glad to be alive and listen to this.
