Provided it played in its entirety each time, this 28 minute video has played for over 42 years!

And shot by (among others) the late great John Metcalfe.

This is amazing. What a performance. He absolutely pours his entire soul into it.

The DTP light inlays in the guitars is so sweet

My first time here was in 2019, been here ever since. Devin work needs to be preserved!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Anyone notice he gave himself goosies!!!! (Goose bumps/chicken skin) 26:56

12:50 This guy is seeing through time and space

This triumvirate of sonic catharsis leaves me lovingly torn to pieces.

Such an amazing version, gives me chill every time

This version of Funeral is wild... it's performed so well, captured and recorded so perfectly, that I am sort of left speechless by it. This whole concert might legitimately be the best live performance I have ever seen.

Emotional masterpiece. I have nothing more to say...

What a voiceeeeer❤

i knew about DT fron the Vai album but with every song I get more impress with his delivery, I guess this is greatness confronted straight on

Always keep coming back to this video. The music, the voice, the pure sound, the quality, the edits. It's perfection

This is one of the greatest videos I've ever seen. Devin is superhuman. I cant stop watching this.

0:55 Devin: "stop clapping the wrong beat, you f***ing noobs"

i love hairless and the hendersons

What a powerfull voice he has ... it's unbelivable 🤩✌

So powerful. By the end of Death of Music it never fails to bring a tear to my eye

Despite going to see Devin in Plovdiv and seeing the Retinal Circus live, I still watch this and kick myself for not seeing this live.

This is why aliens are interested in invading our planet, one thing, Devin Townsend.

what an awesome set of tunes. Definitely, DTP is the best experiment/era from Devin., hands down !

Devin Townsend is a nowhere man, returning as an earth dweller. Sure he have the answer of Lennon's question: "How Many Holes Would It Take To Fill The Albert Hall?" I imagine he fell into one of them, exploring the string theory and sings to us what he experienced there. He is a kind of Lord Voldemort, on the bright side of the Moon. This live recording with the end of "Ocean Machine" reminds me the end of "Joshua Tree", where "The Death Of Music" is a parallel of "Exit", with a heavier sound. So good vibrations 🙂

This band is doing wonders for the bald community

Incredible. Every hair on my body is standing

Spent the day in court trying to see my grandkids. Thanks Devin. I need this to persevere.

@14:08 is so powerful. What an incredible talent he is.

Well everyone talking about how good this is. i find this very poorly mixed soundwise.. cant hear shit from instruments.. just all one ball of sound o.O

Wow, sound and performance amazing in a crazy higher level, brings to tears, this man deserves a medal and a trophy ❤

Just discovered this Musical Genius 2 weeks ago...I fell in love at first listen...never too old to listen to new music

Why haven't I heard of this guy? Today is the first time I have seen him . Why? I have listened to heavy metal for over 20 years.

The best 28 minutes in mankind history!! 😎

Damn. I even forgot that "death of music" existed. How did I even forget that ?! Thanks for reminding me it exists.

Just an effing wall of out of this world music by Devin.

Jesus, here lies my brother Tortured and blown Stretch for the heavens and go ...I watch him go Here it comes Jesus was a poor boy Jesus was a poor boy "It's justa spring clean for the May queen" I'm coming home And this one's for the life This one's for the funeral in the rain And if only for tonight This one's for the funeral in the rain The day's gone and the year's gone And I don't know when I'm coming home I can't hold on to what I've had When what I've had There's nothing left at all... So this one's for the life This one's for the funeral in the rain And if only for tonight Close your eyes and try to sleep again... A world away, you turn away I'm wide awake, and I don't need your home Tell me why he went, it seems to be An element to this mystery It's so cold today, so I get away, and I'm left behind with nothing but words...

Ladies and Gentlemen, possibly the greatest 30 minutes in (live) music history right here.

The BEST 30 minutes you can ever spend is listening to this.

"Funeral" has an incredible melodic line! Great song!!

He should get a knighthood for raising money for the NHS. His lock down livestreams are/were amazing

ALL LYRICS : FUNERAL : Jesus, here lies my brother Tortured and blown Stretch for the heavens and go ...I watch him go Here it comes Jesus was a poor boy Jesus was a poor boy "It's justa spring clean for the May queen" I'm coming home And this one's for the life This one's for the funeral in the rain And if only for tonight This one's for the funeral in the rain The day's gone and the year's gone And I don't know when I'm coming home I can't hold on to what I've had When what I've had There's nothing left at all... So this one's for the life This one's for the funeral in the rain And if only for tonight Close your eyes and try to sleep again... A world away, you turn away I'm wide awake, and I don't need your home Tell me why he went, it seems to be An element to this mystery It's so cold today, so I get away, and I'm left behind with nothing but words... BASTARD : Not one of the better days Nighttime, turn around Lonely is the city tonight Nighttime, all around Lonely in the city tonight Grey people stare at a static sky (as you will) Ours is not to question why Same thing, every time It always seems to need what I'm not To all the hopeful ones: Nobody gives a f*ck what you've got I only wish that I could pray to god (but you will) Stay longer Please don't leave me alone Bastard, mother, father, no... Time passed quicker than you will ever know And they can push me harder But you know I'll never go And they will justify it, but you know It will take them slow The girl from blue city The lights from across the harbour And the boys are out on the corners Sex in the neon basements (red and smelly) And don't feel a thing (it's too cold to worry) So in the corner by the dock Where there's no light It smells like piss but no one knows And right now just to sleep would be alright ...Feel old, gone where the feelings go ...Gone now in a field of green Gone where feelings go... DEATH OF MUSIC : Question Leapt like dog from man Terminate high thinking Known in your prophecy Sun Son Sun it shifts, and brittleness subsides To sleep Sleep away One comes, the rain will always be And things I am Are things that should not be They laughed at me but we never bothered My friends and I There were no others Now it comes Bolt across the blue Shadows dance over the land Walls high, water deep Brick and steel gathering speed Guess it's just a feeling Guess it's just a feeling Rain may come The rain may never be In things you are Are things I need to be My friends were there but they never bothered Now there's you and I and There are no others It's like when death becomes musical It's musical It's like a death becomes musical Musical You might also like Thing Beyond Things Devin Townsend Bastard Devin Townsend Deadhead The Devin Townsend Band And it comes... To make sure that he will never rise And the groans from the bellies Have never cried this hard And the eyes of the wicked ones Have never been full of dust In the middle of the sea it waits... Closer Home, nor anywhere on Earth on that final day will anyone be apart One Schooled Together Towards the sea And we may drown, fly, fall from faith But the pain won't be realized Because the emotions will hit as god should And the mountains will offer no shelter And the clouds will be no cover No matter where we run Don't die on me Don't go away When I need you here In my need The rain will come The rain will always be In things I am Are things that have to be My friends have come and I never bothered Myself and I There is no other It's like a death becomes musical It's musical

This concert is the meaning of the word "perfection" sublime is the word for the performance of "funeral"

I just noticed that his adhd makes him use his fingers to count timing and pitch. Been focused and watching the same 6 minutes over and over again. He shoves his nail thumb into his ring finger when he hits a certain note. AMAZING !

Man, it's such a shame that this lineup disbanded. They were SO good together.

The man is an enigma, and I'm a little sad I only discovered him a couple of years ago. Absolutely fucking EPIC performer, voice, guitar, and expansive wall of sound that takes you to the stratosphere.

26:57 Goosebumps for both of us Devy.

The things I am are things that have to be.

Wow

Damn I'm so glad I discovered Devin.....so good......thanks TH-cam!!!!!

Promotion Machine indeed! I never really knew if I like Devin Townsend or not... Now I am a fan, in part because of this video.
