    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?

    If I could choose any band to be a member of, Tortoise would be it.

    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 8 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.

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

    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.

    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

  • @shadowofcourage
    @shadowofcourage 17 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    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).

  • @Thelaofkazi
    @Thelaofkazi 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

  • @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

  • @Inysy
    @Inysy 17 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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!

  • @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.

  • @adrianjohnson2287
    @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!

  • @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".

  • @WhiskeyBend
    @WhiskeyBend 14 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.

    @BringingSoundToLife 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    "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!

    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.

  • @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?

  • @samwab
    @samwab 18 ปีที่แล้ว

    the first unknown was "Stretch (You Are All Right)"
    the 2nd unknown was "The Lithium Shifts" and "Crest" (joined together), all from the album "It's All Around You".
    Amazing.

    the metal band Ministry had two drummers when i saw them one year - maybe like 2005? It was pretty great. Still this band Tortoise rules.
