    It's crazy how Tortoise sounds like the most technical band but also the most chillin band at the exact same time

    Tortoise is pretty much the only band that I would literally kill to see live. They replicate their songs so wonderfully. I've proudly been a Tortoise fan for years, and have no intention to stop, ever.

      Amen, brother! I've been a fan for a long time as well. Post rock, in general. You listen to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, Isotope 217? or Mogwai?

    I left a comment on this same video roughly 2.5 years ago praising Tortoise and this performance. I had only been listening to them for a few months, but I fell in love with them hard.
    2.5 years later I know every Tortoise song like the back of my hand, and they can still give me goosebumps. Remarkable group of musicians.

    I ran into Jeff Parker at the Book Fair in L.A. this past spring. He was walking around with his daughter and it was packed. I was walking toward him and because of the crowds almost ran into him, which is how I recognized him. I just blurted out "are you Jeff Parker from Tortoise?" and he said he was. He stopped and chatted for a minute as I told him what a fan I was, and he introduced his daughter and signed a fair brochure for me. He said Tortoise was indeed working on new music and he hoped it would be out "soon". Super cool and accommodating guy. Hope we get us some new Tortoise in the new year...

      @wlouisharris 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Douglas Stephens Cool story. . They have no other equal musically or creatively. They just don't seek out any fame or fortune so they are very modest guys in person.

    • @ziltox711
      @ziltox711 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      thats one of the things i like about them! that they're very down to earth individuals and their music reflects that!

    Just realised I’ve been coming back to this clip for the last 18 years. Tortoise was the soundtrack to my twenties. Magic happened in that live set

    wow, i cant believe ive only just found this band this very second. this music is so beautiful.
    really beautiful melodies(i think thats how you spell it anyway).

    Swung from the gutters is the best song in the world!! Thanks for this vid! I love the scene with the drummers at 12:01 Its fantastic!

  • @Thelaofkazi
    @Thelaofkazi 15 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Such great drummers, they sound so smooth. Even the parts where they are both soloing sound great, it doesn't sound aggressive, it sounds like a collage of sound, like they're painting a texture over the music.

  • @BringingSoundToLife
    @BringingSoundToLife 14 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    "Swung from the Gutters" is sweepingly gorgeous! I've been lucky enough to catch these guys live about 5 times, including Lounge Ax in Chicago. This is really a stand-out set. So much space. Thank you, Tortoise!

  • @gq4101
    @gq4101 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    We just saw Tortoise in Vancouver Last week, We were tired from work and had work the nxt day,Tortoise picked us up and dropped us in our beds. I woke up with Tortoise playing in my head that morn. Truly great simple music. Thanks Tortoise.

  • @grimshawr
    @grimshawr 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Stretch (you are alright), The Lithium Stiffs, and Crest are from "It's All Around You". They are the 1st, 4th, and 5th songs, respectively. The 2nd and 3rd songs are Ten Day Interval, and Swung From The Gutters. They are off "TNT", which is my favorite album by them. The last song is Seneca, which is off of "Standards".

  • @kutandpaste
    @kutandpaste 17 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @vladimp77 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    listening to tortoise changed many things... seeing them live changed everything... Thanks Theorem, for reminding me one of the best moments my ears and eyes have ever lived!!! (if you guys haven't seen "reach the rock" GO RENT IT YESTERDAY)

    @adrianjohnson2287 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I worked as a cashier at Borders in Chicago, I was fortunate enough to have Jeff Parker in my line. We chatted briefly, but it was super busy. very cool guy!

  • @moka8267
    @moka8267 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Holy fuck they murdered Swung From The Gutters in the middle of it, but it was interesting in its own way, I definitely didn't expect that free jazz blow-out and it made my heart race

  • @Svensson450
    @Svensson450 17 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Amazing performance, especially the last two songs.

  • @peterphilip
    @peterphilip 14 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Best version of Swung From The Gutters ever. If you make music and are not influenced by this band you suck.

    @JinjaB123 Tortoise is a melodic and beautiful ambient musical group. Slipknot sounds good for metal. Different color horse.

  • @BobWilliam
    @BobWilliam 17 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Didn't know them, but they got a BIG fan now! After listening the second tune I felt like hearing Steve Reich on a Rock band! Great! I'm a fan now! Great band!!!

  • @WhiskeyBend
    @WhiskeyBend 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you look up "Real Deal", Tortoise is listed for music. Live it's like they reach into your heart and brain at the same time and flip the Tortoise switches on and you'll never be the same musically. Never.

  • @sevendaughters
    @sevendaughters 16 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Stunning set, really consumate pros. My main criticism of Tortoise is still that there's no 'hit' for easy access for the casual listener; with a set like this, who cares?

  • @edmondjones6775
    @edmondjones6775 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow. This is really great. I used to see Jeff Parker with the New Horizons Ensemble in Chicago in the early 90's. Always loved his playing. I had lost track of that Chicago scene for a while after I moved away. This group is really amazing.

  •  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Anyone got something from the concerts Tortoise did with Daniel Lanois?
    That to me must have been like a match made in heaven.
    This is really good, and so Lanois' improvised psychedelic steel guitar on top of this must be like the sun setting on a beatiful metallic ocean or something!
    Thanx for uploading Theorem

    Was zekerst fijn! Mooie set. Deze long version riekt naar averageness, maar redt het met briljantie van de musici in kwestie. Watching this as I type. En R maakt op dit moment zijn schatten open (Japanse persing plus triple album) Soon to be heard.
