My brother was prevented from attending the Devin Townsend concert tonight, but asked if I would take over his ticket. It was special for me as I had just returned home from Canada today, after doing 2 ski races there at the weekend (Gatineau Loppet 2 x 50 km. It's one of the Worldloppet series of 20 ski races over at least 42 km, around the world, on cross-country skiing⛷️). But even though I was tired after the flights - it was really worth it!🤘🎉😃 Devin Townsend is new to me as an artist, but my brother introduced him to me with 'Moonpeople' sent to me on Spotify half a year ago. It's right up my alley!😁 It's the first time I've been to a concert with him, and he was absolutely amazing.👍 Devin was in complete control!🤩 What a voice he has!💪 Big kudos also to the other guys in his fantastic band; Mike Keneally🎸🎹🎤, Darby Todd🥁 and James Leach🎸!
As someone who has followed Devin’s career since ‘97, I always find it interesting to consider the perspective of a newcomer to his music. Have you delved into his back catalogue?
@@MegawattThank you for your interest! For now I've been concentrating on his latest album 'Lightwork'. I will be on holiday with my musician brother, who introduced me to Devin, during Easter. I'm sure that together we will delve more into his material then. I have become very fond of his 'Lightworker', where his great vocals really come through. He really is a skilled musician who uses piano, synth and guitar in the structure of the song, which he builds up swellingly and powerfully together with his wonderful vocals! If you can recommend some songs similar to 'Lightworker', I would like to go ahead with them.👍❤️🎺
@@MegawattThen I listened to your recommended songs. "Kingdom" was intense and I need a little more time on it. "The Fluke" was very good and more up my street. "Triumph" was a masterpiece! A lot of variety during the song, and showed what class Devin has in the soundscapes he creates. Cool that your three song recommendations come from albums back to 2012, 2006, and 2001. On the way forward with Devin's music, I will definitely first listen more to the album from 2006, "Synchestra", where "Triumph" comes from. Thank you!😃🎺
@@glaknut @MikeKeneally is a musical genius and kind of a Swiss knive live for guitar, keys and vocals. I am really looking forward to see him again with Devin!
@@erikmaronde2244Yes, I understand that! As I wrote in my pinned comment, upon my posting of Lightworker, Devin Townsend I only became aware of him as an artist half a year ago. That Mike was actually brought in by Frank Zappa says quite a lot! I was very impressed by the concert from the guys at Sentrum Scene in Oslo. You can look forward to experiencing them! 🔥🎤🎸🎹🥁🔥 / ❤️🎺
It brought tears to my eyes - this song is very special to me, and to see Dev's look in his eye just beam out to the audience like "I'm back bitches" One of his shows is on my bucket list. Cheers!!
@mincentprice1041, All of his beautiful vocals come through in this song. Powerful! It was clear to see that he was happy about the start of the tour in Europe. ❤️🎺
@@tanjaikola4805Great! I can promise you a great concert! 🔥🎤🎸🎹🥁 This is funny! I'm also going to Finland this weekend, but it's to go cross-country skiing⛷️ in Finlandia Hiihto, Lahti, both Saturday and Sunday. I'm glad I got to experience Devin yesterday!😃 Good experience in Oulu! ❤️🎺

"This will be a tight little quartet consisting of Dev, me, Darby Todd on drums (who plays in Martin Barre’s band and has also played with The Darkness, Alan Price, Gary Moore, Robert Plant, Robben Ford - a truly versatile player) and James Leach on bass (a ferocious player, from the hugely influential band Sikth). I haven’t played with Darby and James yet but in a few days we start rehearsals, and I expect things to just explode. I mean this is going to be seriously great so if you can possibly come to one of these shows, you should fully do it, with all of your might." ❤️🎺
Dev is the standard for all musicians/engineers to strive to be. Been a fan for a very long time. Even more so now. As a musician and sound engineer, he has provided an outline no matter the genre.
@nooramoi, You are waiting for something good... But if it can help, with your waiting, I will post 2 more videos tonight from the concert yesterday.❤️🎺
@@glaknut I'm flying to Paris from Iceland to see him for the third time! I'm so glad he´s in such excellent shape and it is a real bonus to have Mike Kennealy on stunt guitar! The rythm section sounds super tight too 😀
@lowenbad, Yes, I understand you also want to experience him. I would like to think he will set up a US/Canada tour eventually. The concerts he is doing in Europe now must be a great success. It was such a good concert in Oslo!❤️🎺
@@Spacefred54When Devin and his band play this well, they do a fantastic marketing job to make me want to see them again. You will probably think so too. 🤩🎺
@AztecHusBone, With Devin probably taking a vacation after the European tour this winter, you'd think he should be touring the US and Canada later this year, hopefully.❤️🎺
@treyvisqueux7973, So cool you were there!👍 You know, it's always a trade-off how much to film and experience as it is... No Unfortunately. I have posted the 3 videos I recorded. I see several people have posted from the 3 concerts in Finland. My understanding is that it is the same setlist for the first 4 concerts in Europe. ❤️🎺

Genius, amazing guitarist, lyricist, singer, composer, funny, smart, one of the best musicians out there!!

Four new songs and no Moonpeople? By far the best song on the new album. Is that correct?
@matthiasbrunschweiler515, Yes, only 4 from the last album at the concert. And yes, I also think Moonpeople are top notch. ❤️🎺
Did the played aftermath?
@julianmox0459, No, they didn't. From what I understand, not even in the 3 concerts in Finland after Oslo.
❤️🎺
Good English.
Glorious song. Lots of parasites around him though.
@matchbooklove, Yes, absolutely great song. I am very satisfied with his performance this evening in Oslo together with his band members.❤️🎺
Please bring back SYL
@trevorhelmsley388, Ok, but the whole band delivered really well here in Oslo this evening.❤️🎺
