wish i could've gone to this concert instead of being six years old
Would give up a year of my lifespan to be there
As someone who was there, it warms my heart to know that there are still young people out there that show appreciation for TBLA and the bands that came up with them during this wave of emo. I'm sure you would have loved being there and we would have loved to have you.
me too
@@grape9306lol Ur old
Hell yes
“Dad, why is my sister’s name Rose?”
“Because your mom loves roses”
“Thanks dad”
“No problem, The Brave Little Abacus - Last Show @ The Vic Geary Center”
imagine being that kid that got to record them with his 3ds
lmao wtf where is that
13:45 the little kid next to ezra
oh my god. That is like the perfect addition to how I already felt about this video haha
thats honestly a vibe
ahead of his time for real
For a long time, I always felt like one of those people who was late to discover everything. Always late to the party. I'd find out about a show/film/band/anything long after it was either no longer relevant, or in the least, already been around long enough to be on it's downward decline. It bothered me for awhile. I felt like I'd never had my own moment, in a way. To feel a part of something big as it was current, and as it was taking place. ....
But god dammit, I was there for this.
props.
I wish I was there.
Also props man you now one of the luckiest guys on the internet
you dit it!
you lucky bastard.
No one, no thing, can ever take that away from you. Even though I wasn't there, it's enough for me to know someone who enjoys them as much as I do was. Take care.
tfw you get your dad to play with you on your emo band's closing show. How cool is that.
Wasn't his dad on the cover of Just Got Back?
@@collinlopez yeah i believe that's Adam's the lead singers dad on we just got back
Which one is his dad
@@classicpinball9873 the one drumming on american girl
Stroke and nice
If this was recorded professionally itd be the greatest damn live album ever
doesnt need to b recorded professionally, already the best
@@freindmaker4473 fishmans not even close to this tbh
@@panipxe deathconciousness pfp 😴🥱
not a live album but The Denny's Grand Slam >>>
@@lukebrennan8405 what do you have against that album lol
1:03:05 "... i think it's the best we've ever sounded, i love you guys so much. friends forever?"
always gets to me.
Diego Vera makes me feel like tearing up
Diego Vera saw ur comment on the marietta last show vid
@@togir5837 shit yeah bud
I love you Diego
@@derekarmentrout5498 MUAH
These guys were something special. Not only in sound, but in character. They’re pioneers of a still majorly unexplored realm of punk and emo music. Love these guys and love everyone who recorded this performance so I can watch it everyday.
I can't say they are pioneers in the genre but they literally took the midwest emo to the limit, best indie band ever
@@duzskii def not to the genre as a whole, but pioneering the expansion of emo i guess is what i meant to say haha, anyway im glad you also enjoy tbla, have a good day real emo enjoyer
His dad plays traditional grip what a classic man. Respect to him.
RIP Matt Aspinwall he's standing on the left edge of the stage
Is he dead?
May he RIP.
rip
thank you for leaving this comment, i hadnt heard of him so i've just gone through all of his bandcamp projects and he was a genius. really amazing music, wish he was still with us
oh my god... rest in peace
I THINK ILL LEAVE THIS PLACE NOOOOOOOOOOW
tears everytime
yooooo dismemberment plan, thats tight
such a great song 😫
there are literally zero bands with this amount of inventiveness and enthusiasm in my country and it bums me out so much
Where you from man? England?
Ireland, but close
at least you had MBV@@connorchapman1232
Start your own!
Happy to report that the Irish music scene has gotten way better recently
I’m way late to this band’s existence, but if I had to pick any one moment in history to go back to, it would be this show
It’s never too late to enjoy them. I know I always will.
why can't i find a single comment talking about how cracked of a guitar player adam is? his technicality is insane
Pile! No Pile! Pile! sounds absolutely beautiful live. It truly is transcendent.
This song was my theme when I moved to California at 3am in 2021
thanks to the cameramen to taking their attention, concentration, and eyes off the show to let us all see it!
i watch this daily to dance around my room, then cry because at some point it stops
orange blue with stripes?
@@yttriumblue something like that
I know that I’m very late to the party, but this band has consumed me like no other band has. I heard born again so many times… and I was instantly hooked by the like Mathrock infused emo with a hint of electronica. It was unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. I love this band and I cannot express how grateful I am to be able to watch this show live. The Brave little Abacus forever
This is easily the most unqiue, colorful, wonderful band I've ever had the privlage to listen to. To see them live would have been a transcendent experience. I remember the day i first listened to "Just Got Back From Discomfort--We're Okay". I dont listen to a lot of albums that are incredible on my first listen, usually they take time to ripen. But that album was something so unique and jaw-dropping that i listened to it maybe 100 times in a row. I have not heard music anywhere close to what TBLA cane up with in their short but sweet run as a band.
I had the same experience. I listened to it a hundred times in a row, every day I’d listen to it three times maybe. At first it took some getting used to- and not in a bad way. Kind of like moving into a new home. You know it belongs but it takes time for familiarity. Everything about this band is magic.
❤️ the amount of comfort this band has brought me cant be put into words
This is one of my favorite pieces of recorded history in the era of Mankind. I wish I were here to see this. Words cannot describe what I feel when I watch this performance. Ty, I cannot thank you enough for capturing this occasion in such quality! It means very much.
feeling exactly the same way!
This is such a niche section of the internet but the people who are in it adore so much.. ❤️
This gives me the same feel as the live recording of Some Kind of Cadwallader by Algernon Cadwallader in that basement where the band is near flooded by the crowd. There's something about emo that envelopes my soul. I wish I could feel that cameraderie sometime.
It's of my opinion that if we all vanished one day and this was the only thing left out somewhere in space that proved we existed in this time and place Id say humanity left a good legacy.
Man I wish I knew what I was doing when I made this.
+Ty Ueda Keep making shit though, this is still a really cool fucken' documentation of them. you'll be on some next level shit if you keep going dogg
fuck you this is perfect. i get to relive one of the best nights of my life whenever i want
Ty Ueda duck you you just earned a subscriber and yes I'm aware it says duck you
@@nealgoldman4397 props.
I love it man thank you
this must have been such a life-affirming experience for all these ppl to have taken part in. so envious
hakushi
god im so glad this video exists, they were really a special band
True
homygodwtf they just have something about them
28:42 that song rocks me to my core. I listen to that same song on repeat while I study my final project in undergrad. Thank you for that.
how are you doing?
All these last show vids make me feel so happy and sad at the same time
i would do anything just to be there in that room to be apart of this performance. this band means so much to me. thank you for everything.
This is the video that made me realize that I wanted to play in a band and do shows. Thanks for this.
que atmosfera mas bella, como se nota el tremendo vinculo que habia en la banda, como el adam sube a su papa al escenario...
Fun fact: The man in the album cover of Just Got Back is, in fact, Adam's dad.
Bruh i thought he was the singer
@@Jonathan-jc4ef honestly me too lmao
Actual best band to ever exist
I've been watching this video for almost two years and this is probably my most-watched video on TH-cam, thank you so much!
+Felipe Brandão Thanks Felipe! Glad you enjoy it!
same
I only found this band a couple months ago, and I was only seven when this happened, but I've lived in NH for almost 13 years and this just feels special for some reason
Most underrated band of all time.
Not anymore :)
it's wild that the guy on the the cover of Just Got Back played drums at their last show
That's the lead singers dad I think.
@@kailwade7666Yeah I know, it's a joke
I believe it but he just looks completely different than on the album cover damn
I thought you were joking lol
Found them a few days ago, finally listened today. I am so so sad i never found them before, but so greatful i found them at all
it was lucky to see this live performance. It makes me understand how to feel this band more and more.
lucky!
This was really well recorded. I could definitely see this getting a DVD release.
10 years old today. Wish I could see them live.
one of the best videos on youtube lmao, this had to be soo much fun cause i'm sitting here in my seat jumping around and i wasn't even there
most i've cried in months. music is so so important man
i’m leaving a comment like 2 years after discovering tbla and this video but the brave little abacus means everything to me
Discovered this band last year and they've become one of my favorites. It makes me so sad that I'll never be able to see them live, or hear anything new from them.
Amazing. What a shame, that I discovered this amazing band 2 years after they broke up :(
TokenChineseGuy's Rare Music! most people did. They didnt gain much of a following until years after
andrew ryan really rocking the anthony fantano flannel
there are like 50 different dudes in this video rocking the fantano flannel
A man chooses...
thank you. been watching this since i was 16. 22 now and still love it. epic sounds epic night
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened
They stopped hours ago
@@mondoburger4998 good one
The immense sadness i feel when his dad plays with them live and helped them get their equipment. The struggle to live life is quadrupled when you dont have that support. God bless you and your family. A great example of the ideal family.
25:47 all the way till the slower section is what makes 45 Minutes To Somewhere Out There on of my favorite musical pieces
this is unbelievable. a Festivus miracle!
Holy shit you guys are awesome. Really bummed I didn't know you existed until after your last show. I hope that wherever you are, you're all happy.
it’s been 12 years, long live brave little abacus ❤ thank you for the most heartfelt music ever
thank you so unbelievably much for preserving this set. i am forever grateful that i can watch this. thank you!
Thank you for recording this show, this is truly special.
These guys brought a new music perspective to this alt hood kid growing up ,thank you
This truly is the greatest music ever made and there won’t ever be nothing like it again
I wish I could have seen this!!! I don't even feel weird applauding to my laptop in public right now. Great job guys!
Anytime I feel down, I wait that I’m at my lowest point and then I watch this video and I am born again
i just noticed something; Adam said BLA had been a thing for 4/5 years, and he said that when he was 15 he started taking the band seriously and got a PA because of his dad. was Adam 19-21 at this show? thats incredibly young holy cow
They had all been in bands before BLA, and I believe those are the times that he refers to in that story.
@jazz baby theres a podcast that adam was on talking about it and yes he was around that age
That American Girl cover is so wholesome
13:40 and 31:00 are truly beautiful and im so glad this was documented
what songs are they?
@@user-qk1xt3yb7i map of the stars and bug infested floorboards
thank you the brave little abacus for everything you made.
Keep coming back to this 👌🏼
truly amazing
I'd kill a man in every one of my future lives and serve the rest of my sequential independent eternities in jail just to have seen the Brave Little Abacus play just this one time
2indie4u hey good taste in music my friend
man me too
...yeah me too
2indie4u well...
this is seriously the best band ever. long live BLA
42:20 michael cera in a disguise stares into your soul
thanks for capturing this 🥲🥲🥲
thank u so much for posting this im so thankful i get to witness this moment in way
watching for the millionth time
still watching
still watching for the billionth time since 2012
are u still watching?
@@hllow-rt3ot i never stopped

What'd you use to film this? there's so many beautiful shots and amazing deph of field. Doesn't seem like the most high end camera but you def knew what you were doing
BEEFISBURGERS this was shot on a Pentax K-x with a 50mm 1.7 aftermarket lens. Wide open. Still the sharpest lens I’ve ever used. Camera B is a Canon TsomethingI with the kit lens I believe.
One of my favourite videos on the internet. A beautiful moment.
Thank you both for taking the time and effort to attend the concert, film it and then edit it. Means a lot!
Hope you had a tremendous time!
man, the pile! no pile! pile! performance so beautiful...i wish i knew about this band before they broke up :(
they are really the embodiment of youth
the amount of people wearing flannels in this video is amazing
This was hipster fashion being in full swing. I remember flannels being grimey until some of my friends got into Midwest emo in 2010 and all of a sudden we were all wearing flannels lol
This is probably my favorite video on the TH-cam
here to make my obligatory yearly comment about how much i love this band :)
you know when one the players looks like the riddler the mosh gonna go hard
thank you Ty Ueda
shoutout to the part in el capitano when andrew gets on bongos and the other guy playing guitar starts playing his bass upside down
This video is so great, I'm glad there was some good footage of them on youtube. Thanks man
you don’t know how much this video means to me
Watched this countless times and just now recognizing the Temple University t-shirt, go owls!
This was 9 years ago. This video makes it feel like it happened last night.
Every Christmas it feels fresh
@@auntblazewhich is funny because that Christmas tree is still there and has been since they first played at Vic Geary lmao

Best video on youtube
Thank you for documenting this.
I miss my dad bro
Certamente um dos momentos mais lindos da música
god, they all look like they're having a fantastic time
I regret never being able to see them live
i dont know why i love this so much but i do, great concert and great upload.
1:03:05 being the most replayed says everything about BLA fans
I lvoe this so much
This is one of my favorite videos on TH-cam.
I can’t believe BLA never got big in their time period
Snowcardinal all things considered they're gaining lots of recognition now. Adam is putting stuff on streaming so who knows if a reunion of sorts is possible in the future
@@classicpinball9873 sadly, that's not the case, there's an interview with Adam saying BLA's music was put on streaming by some guy on the internet, and basically they're still broken up
@@mechadam6761 is that up to date? I remember hearing that adam himself went ahead and fixed it so he should be getting the proper credit now
@@mechadam6761 he officially put them on streaming platforms on October 2020. and it doesn't look like he's at war with the other band members or anything, in fact they're friends forever
there has to be more live footage of this band out there somewhere.
Friends forever?

this is a treasure
