I liked the part where Guthrie plays intricate chords and lightning-fast perfectly accurate scales mixed with creative bends in a huge variety of cool tones in perfect sync with his band who are also virtuosos. It starts at 0:00 and goes to the end.
I'm a really terrible guitar player that always struggles with timing, but I can copy this clap no problemo... especially while Minneman fills what I find to be the uncomfortable spaces with his kick drum.
@@sjuozhunki Matteo is great, but Guthrie shows always new melodic ideas, like no one else. Also he is adopting to harmonies like no one else. Thats whats interesting. He is an improvise monster with some over the top technique.
@@LEXSTR-px4fn Yes exactly. And also - it's Guthrie's versatility. When I listen to Matteo, I am floored by his technique but I pretty much know what I am getting, and move on pretty quickly. With Guthrie, I will get some country licks, some blues rock, some jazz/fusion, some funk - always something interesting.
These guys were born to play together... They have that marvel superhero names, they are all the same age, and they are all too good for any other band
They know when to cool it, too. There’s a lot to say for that. Marco would have truly been wasted in Dream Theater, having to deal with the Petrucci/Rudess hierarchy. These guys are all perfect for one another.
@sjuozhunki Check the recent interview he did with Rick Beato it is really good. Guthrie is consistently listed by great guitarists of our time, including Matteo Mancuso., as an idol of theirs or simply one of the best. Matteo is great.
He mentions in a premier guitar run-down (steven wilson) that he didnt have in-ears for this set and it was hard for him to hear if he was in tune on the fretless
By far, the most entertaining fusion trio on the planet. I've had the pleasure of meeting all three members, shared beers and laughs. Great humans! Great all around!
@@DrSpoculus You think its some kind of brag and not just him trying to convey that these guys are very nice. Says more about you and your pathetic ego
@@CBT5777I checked out the two albums on YT and was disappointed honestly. Only 2 of the songs sounded different enough from the others of all the songs. Same tones, same textures, same ish dynamics, same polyrhythm stuff. After listening through all of it, I skipped through each song and they all blended together. The two that were different were really cool though... no shade. They are very technically capable.
Every guitarist, bassist and drummer should take a look at this! Technology at the highest level. This is how it sounds when three high-tech virtuosos play together. It is hardly possible to find better in this style. Unsurpassed virtuosity paired with endless imagination, irrepressible joy of playing, as well as absolute perfection. I don't find enough praise and superlatives for these guys.
I find it lacks some warmth and cohesion apart from moments where it does all come together in a musical fashion. Also, just my taste,but i find the guitarist really abrasive and angular! Anyhoo....i recommend having a listen to...John McLaughlin Trio live at Albert hall....and...Liquid Tension (Experiment)
If anybody is wondering why it sounds so good in surround sound, its because Steven Wilson mixed it. If that doesn't explain anything to you, go listen to Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree.

I'm not sure if the people in this comment chain realize that Dream Theater didn't reject Marco, they were floored by him and wanted him in the band. They needed someone who could make Dream Theater their main focus, and he wasn't willing to do that. That part wasn't included in the doc because they didn't want MM to seem like a secondary choice.
The thing is, Marco is not only an excellent drummer... He has kinda "photografic" (better said "videografic") musical memory... In 1991 he used to record nearly the whole CD "Senseless Wonder", just with the click... cos the bassist and guitarist were too stoned to play tight enough, so he kicked them out of the studio while drumming his ass off ;-) He used to warm up with playing along Zappa before recording for his band... I am sure he had been in Zappas band eventually.
Damn, that Guthrie, always wielding his axe like an ancient Viking, cleaving audiences in two with his endlessly bold and brash guitar bravado! And let's never forget Bryan pulling the oars, driving the ship to ancient shores and uncharted waters, while Marco, the ever faithful helm, pounds the beat with fluid effortlessness. They're not Aristocrats, they're warriors!!
+ironbeast6 Yep, me too. There's copyright and there's marketing. This video has got me to cough up the readies for this album and the new one and I hope it does it a lot more. These guys are amazing.
That guitar solo during flatlands is just amazing. In my opinion Guthrie's best solo. And all improvised! It's astonishing how much raw emotion a man can put into a guitar solo.
Here in 2021 and I agree. I've been fans of theirs for a few years now and I've seen random clips of this concert now and then, but this was the first time I've watched the whole concert. The album version of Flatlands is beautiful, but the version here is absolutely transcendent. It made me order the CD/DVD. Thanks for uploading this!!!
I’ve watched this video a lot of times. Flatlands has so much to offer. I Want A Parrot is also insanely good. Guthrie has tremendous character in his playing
i would just be crying the whole time if i went to this show. absolutely incredible, guthrie govan may be the star musician but rest of the trio is right in the pocket and supporting guthrie perfectly
I’d pick quite a few Danny Gatton songs just to name one ... Brian Eno , John Cale Lou Reed The Stranglers Hawkwind Gong Gizzard Julee Cruise even Rammstein haha Theres a lot of beautiful in this world of Music ... I had to check it out because of your comment ... opinions are great
I've come to the conclusion that these guys are Marvel super heroes. It's not just that all three have first and last names beginning with the same letter; it's that anyone who can play like that must have super powers.
Okay, but seriously.. What the fuck, Guthrie? How can a human be this good? I swear, Guthrie is immortal. No mere mortal is capable of playing like that.
I think Guthrie Govans' guitar is actually melded to his body, I've never seen him without it. He is the man who is the best, in a league of his own, a complete nuisance to my learning the guitar, a course in splendido perfection. Well tamed guitar.
Proving once again, you never need an obnoxious ego to be the best. And these three humble virtuoso's are as good as it gets. Especially Guthrie... my ears light up smiling, while my jaw drops to the floor every time I hear him♥♫ Thanks for the magic!!;-)
Ladies and gentle , Marco "freak of nature" Minneman on the mrums. An old producer and friend of mine Jerrold Laurner (and I believe his brother Johnathan) had just finished Marco's DW promotional video (filming and. tracking) and myself and my bandmates got a sneak peak before it hit the shelves while doing some tracking in Jerrold's own Hollywood studio. I remember as Jerrold was bringing up the project looking specifically at me (im also a drummer) and saying...."you'll never be this good. This guy is a FREAK OF NATURE"! Well, he was right on both accounts. Guy's a BEAST!!
The perfection these guys have achieved is out of any reach. The three of them, excellent performers in their instruments as well as incredible composers and organizers, they are bringing jazz rock into a new frontier.
Years have passed, and Guthrie's take on flatlands never ceases to amaze me. What a masterclass in storytelling. I've yet to see a performance on guitar so complete on all levels. Absolute bliss. Gets me every time
Androids ... all 3 ... cannot possibly be human . I’ve been playing for 45 years and have concluded I know nothing having witnessed this masterful level !!! Simply unbelievable in every way
I dont think Ive had this much fun watching instrumental jazz fusion like this before. Before I knew it, I watched the whole thing. Their music is so creative and their chemistry is just magical to watch.
Not exaggerating this video may just be the finest display of musicianship that's out there! The damn near perfection of it from beginning to end is incredible and its 2 and a half hours of it!
Incredible. Part Beck, part Satriani, part Vai, part Zappa, part Johnson, part Petrucci, but better than any of them and still jaw-droppingly unique. Fusion of all manner of styles and techniques and master of each of them (that I can tell, with my limited perspective). Jeez, how can a single guitar player and accompanying band members be so insanely talented ? There doesn't seem to be enough time to cram all of this into one lifetime of learning ... disheartening for us mere mortals.
@FlecheDeFer As a complete player, Guthrie is head and shoulders above all of them (except maybe Beck). He encompasses more styles into his compositions than any of the others and improvises in any of those styles seamlessly. IMO, the only other guitarist on his level would be Ron Thal.
@@kevinmcguinness1113 When I started the guitar, looog time ago, I was also obsessed about who's better than who, but I've long passed that. I realized guitar is about music, not showing off, so there is no "best guitarist". Actually, and contrary to what I believed when I started, the best guitarists are those who can say it all with the fewest notes, which pretty much rules out the virtuosos. Govan dosen't touch me at all, and I've listened to him a lot. Like all the shredders, he plays way too many notes when one, the right one, would suffice. Watching him trying to cover Billy Gibbons, yet a waaaay weaker guitarist technically, was an eye-opener. Now, he is a phenomenal guitarist, of course, but saying that he is "head and shoulders" above such virtuosos as Vai or Satriani merely reveals a fan (discaimer: I'm not a fan of any of the guys you mentionned, so I'm not defending anyone). Thal is amazing, yes, but generally too experimental to really be listened too (that being said, Fly in the Batter guitar parts (bridges and solo) are among my favorite guitar moments, suits my way of thinking about guitar).
I might get a sore jaw from listening to this concert because my jaw is hitting the floor. These three are just so skilled and imaginative. Every musician should check this out.
i love projects like this that invite me to pay attention, to try to follow the time changes, the harmonic structures. the chemistry here is astounding.
Please keep off this video from youtube!!! It makes me stop playng...but the thing that amazes me most is how can they remember all this music from memory ???? Howww???? Fantastic!!!
It's amazing how some music just firmly ties to a specific moment in your life even when you didn't expect it to. I used to listen to Flatlands when I was doing this crazy ass Silithus grind back in wow classic to get a trinket called Earthstrike. It actually took me several weeks to get it and all those frustrating hours after hours, Flatlands was there to be my faithful companion. And after all these years I come back to this and the memories hit deep man. Come to think of it, Flatlands is a song about flat lands with some tornado shit rampaging through and Silithus is also a barren and flat wasteland of meanacing bugs so that's where they meet I guess. Thank you Brian for this one in a lifetime experience.
probablemente una de las mejores bandas, no solo por el nivel tecnico, si no, por el nivel de comunicacion musical. es impresionante como logran comunicarse, son musicos realmente imprecionantes.
Whoow they are so good.. I listen to a lot of music, a lot of jazz and the good pop, blues as well as classical. but this guitarist Guthrie Govan is still world class. One of the virtuoso guitarists I've heard. I first heard him in Steven Wilson's band, together with this German drummer Marco Minnemman. Steven Wilson's talent is often get great musicians in his band(s)
Just jaw-dropping. Despite the exotic time sigs and un-namable chords, they still manage to pack more than their share of infectious grooves into every song.
OMG!!! It just gets better and better! These guys are opening another door to my mind; the sound they make is the the drug I crave. A new goal for me to reach for when playing and writing my songs... keep it up guys!
Funtastic!, very, very creative musicians.... Not even talk about technical skills... A complete pleasure to see and listen these guys, it made my 2016 hugely much better, thanks a lot!. Peace.

Most satisfying music I’ve heard for ages. Everything sonically perfect and playing is stupefyingly brilliant from all concerned. Top marks.
Yes! BUY "Boing..." on DVD/CD! It will enrich your life!
I bought it, & I'm better for it!
The sheer Techincal Ability of Guthrie never stop amazing me... I feel everytime I watch him play hes doing something I havent seen before
One of the more underrated aspects of Guthries playing are his bends. I mean how many tones does he bend up to at 31:18?! Incredible
Came to say this, how in the hell did his string not break?!
Brian Dennehy check out some of his lesson vids theres one vid were he goes thru his bemding technique. i think he goes up to 3 tones or w.e
he bends it to 10 tones, from high E to low E, holding all of them strings out of the fret board
A full octave is 6 tones, not 10
Hence the name I guess ... like the number of legs on an octopus
I can finally say I saw the best guitarist in the entire world. Oh and the rest of the band is amazing too.
The perfection these guys have achieved is out of any reach. The three of them, excellent performers in their instruments as well as incredible composers and organizers, they are bringing jazz rock into a new frontier.

I may be biased , I am a drummer, alas the snare could have been better
Good to see musicians actually listening to what the other guys are playing and 'answering', instead of just doing their own rigid thing.

He is great, but "I like him better" dosen't necessarly translates into "better". At that level, they're pretty much all the same.

@@kevinmcguinness1113 When I started the guitar, looog time ago, I was also obsessed about who's better than who, but I've long passed that. I realized guitar is about music, not showing off, so there is no "best guitarist". Actually, and contrary to what I believed when I started, the best guitarists are those who can say it all with the fewest notes, which pretty much rules out the virtuosos. Govan dosen't touch me at all, and I've listened to him a lot. Like all the shredders, he plays way too many notes when one, the right one, would suffice. Watching him trying to cover Billy Gibbons, yet a waaaay weaker guitarist technically, was an eye-opener. Now, he is a phenomenal guitarist, of course, but saying that he is "head and shoulders" above such virtuosos as Vai or Satriani merely reveals a fan (discaimer: I'm not a fan of any of the guys you mentionned, so I'm not defending anyone). Thal is amazing, yes, but generally too experimental to really be listened too (that being said, Fly in the Batter guitar parts (bridges and solo) are among my favorite guitar moments, suits my way of thinking about guitar).
I've watched this 100 times and still cant get over how good and tight this is. Congrats mates!
The sound on this is some of the best I've ever heard. That room sounds phenomenal. So intimate.
As it is said “There’s one in every crowd,” and AMONG ALL who ever picked up & played the guitar - past and present -- Govan Guthrie IT IS.
Amen.
I might get a sore jaw from listening to this concert because my jaw is hitting the floor. These three are just so skilled and imaginative. Every musician should check this out.
i love projects like this that invite me to pay attention, to try to follow the time changes, the harmonic structures. the chemistry here is astounding.
I'm watching this with my parrot on my left shoulder. I think he also loves The Aristocrats.
I've had the privilege of watching GG live, twice. I just wish I get a chance to watch him with these two other geniuses.
I could listen to this every day for eternity. Multiple eargasms are guaranteed. Sheesh.
Marco Minnemman is amazing!
Marco is the best!!!
Gutrie!..probably the best guitarist on earth!
Saw them live, one of the best concerts in my life. Great musicians + great people.
I an speechless! Long live rock&roll and God bless these guys!
Marco's virtuosity and style displays best in this band. He is for Aristocrats; Mangini is for DT.
Please keep off this video from youtube!!! It makes me stop playng...but the thing that amazes me most is how can they remember all this music from memory ???? Howww???? Fantastic!!!
I wonder the same. That is insane!
Me too bro
LMAO I just noticed "Mrums" and realized it was deliberate XD
It's amazing how some music just firmly ties to a specific moment in your life even when you didn't expect it to. I used to listen to Flatlands when I was doing this crazy ass Silithus grind back in wow classic to get a trinket called Earthstrike. It actually took me several weeks to get it and all those frustrating hours after hours, Flatlands was there to be my faithful companion. And after all these years I come back to this and the memories hit deep man. Come to think of it, Flatlands is a song about flat lands with some tornado shit rampaging through and Silithus is also a barren and flat wasteland of meanacing bugs so that's where they meet I guess. Thank you Brian for this one in a lifetime experience.
Three incredible musicians all in their element. At the very least you've got to admire the skill and passion on display
I've watched/listened to this probably about 8 times now and I'm still blown away by the musicianship like it's the first time.
me too bro
MM is a true band musician. He can do anything on those drums but he always plays for the song. Unbelievable good and no ego.
Damn these guys are great!!
trip only😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
probablemente una de las mejores bandas, no solo por el nivel tecnico, si no, por el nivel de comunicacion musical. es impresionante como logran comunicarse, son musicos realmente imprecionantes.
Impresionantes...
Mind blown!! I have all the inspiration I need for the rest of my life on guitar (and music in general) after watching this!
The world is grateful they found each other. ❤️
...Guthries solo on Flat Land's is sensational.
Got goosebumps...!
After watching Guthrie play slide guitar without a slide on Flatlands, I now believe he could also play guitar without a guitar...
That’s not correct
@@ohreallycat what's not?
@@ManyThingsSeem he does not play slide guitar on flatlands
@@ohreallycat right... which is exactly what I said... but he does make it SOUND like a slide... 😶
@@ManyThingsSeem you did say that, my apologies
¿Se puede llamar perfección, maestría, a esto? Imaginación, sentimiento, fuerza rítmica.... ¡Qué maravilla!
Siiiiiii amigo mio
Saludos chilenos

I can't get tired of these guys. Flatlands is my favorite song
Whoow they are so good.. I listen to a lot of music, a lot of jazz and the good pop, blues as well as classical. but this guitarist Guthrie Govan is still world class. One of the virtuoso guitarists I've heard. I first heard him in Steven Wilson's band, together with this German drummer Marco Minnemman. Steven Wilson's talent is often get great musicians in his band(s)
Flatlands ❤️...what a composition ,❤️
Agree. It's wonderful!
yeh that main groove hits well. I have had it on repeat all day
Just jaw-dropping. Despite the exotic time sigs and un-namable chords, they still manage to pack more than their share of infectious grooves into every song.
"Despite" it's more like "because of"
OMG!!! It just gets better and better! These guys are opening another door to my mind; the sound they make is the the drug I crave. A new goal for me to reach for when playing and writing my songs... keep it up guys!
Fantastic ! Amazing ! I'm speechless ! Imagine the Aristocrats sharing a bill with Liquid Tension
That bass distortion change on Waves was so smooth !!! Holy..
Funtastic!, very, very creative musicians.... Not even talk about technical skills...
A complete pleasure to see and listen these guys, it made my 2016 hugely much better, thanks a lot!. Peace.
I've watched this loads of times & only just now seen the disappearing fret wrap on GG's guitar at around 45 mins.
That's really strange! Why did they cut?
The sm57 on Guthrie's right Amp might be part of the story.. ;) I noticed that one already earlier on.
Just fantastic - Guthrie's phrases and melody pathway always reminds me of Stanley Clarke, the great bassist.
The best musicians on the planet. I will see them tomorrow in Vancouver. See you guys there.
Absoulutiley in to this world. I hear Jeff beck , frank zappa , and I m not sure what else but pure talent , thank you !!!
very coool !!! me encantaaaa es una de las mejores bandas que e escuchado toda mi vida, realmente fabuloso.
