i thought it most definitely was a forest fairy making those magical noises with a vintage hammond. imagine how shook i was seeing dwyer soaked in sweat playing this little-ass keyboard in the corner.. makes it even better for sure
I can’t even meet anyone who knows who they are and I live an hour and a half from SF. Everyone where I live has a beige soul. I have to get out of this suburban nightmare. If I let someone who liked Thee OhSees I’d be so happy. They’re playing in SF on my birthday in less than three months.
John's hypnotic body movement at 3:08 captures the entire mood of this performance for me. Idk why. It's just such a slow, heavy song but there's so much energy behind it. This song is a swaying cobra about to strike... No, a crocodile slowly coasting up to a zebra at the watering hole, just before exploding out of the water and snatching it by the face to drag it under.
Max Mooney I love how they are always ALWAYS finding a way to blend different styles that you didn’t even think could blend, like when they do something new it’s forever in their music they just keep adding and adding more
Keeping pace with music that is so engaging and that shines in and out of the future and the past… puts the band, and Dwyer's subtleties, on an endless imaginative progression for listeners.
Have only come across this recently, and love everything about their performance. This outweighs the album version. A work of art lyrically and musically.
They have an indescribable energy. At a certain point, the songs melt together, and it all just becomes this constant sonic wave (in the best possible way). My favorite live shows of all time were all Oh Sees.
Actually king gizzard does beat oh sees, dont get me wrong oh sees are one of my favorite bands and this live performance its epic, i have seen both bands king gizzard and oh sees live twice but nothing compares to king gizz live, i guess its just a matter of opinion
@@MrBlinkguy182 never seen Oh Sees live, but Gizz shows are absolutely killer. Oh Sees and Gizz have very similar energy though it seems to me. Both are intensely psychedelic, high energy bands with extensive and varied discographies. I'd kill for a collab between John and Stu; both of them are psych rock geniuses.

Astral seasons drift on by and waver in the light Stretching on through time As a soul could surely be for all eternity It's present in a sigh At a pace so patiently, waiting there for you and me Drifting all the while And the ticking of the clock and the ringing of the stocks Are relics of our lives Our love flows on endlessly, our love is pure and free A vast and depthless sea Astral seasons drift on by and waver in the light Stretching on through time As a soul could surely be for all eternity Is present in a sigh At a pace so patiently, waiting there for you and me Drifting all the while
John does sing, "While alone you'll surely be" in this performance, but not on the recording. For me "soul" works better since he references "astral seasons," but of course the master can sing whatever whenever he chooses. LOL Astral = Relating to a supposed nonphysical realm of existence to which various psychic and paranormal phenomena are ascribed, and in which the physical human body is said to have a counterpart. As in "spiritual beings from the astral plane". Astral Seasons is also a video game.
This was my first song/live performances ive seen by them. Although their other stuff is different than this. Sticky hulks is definitely my favorite. 😮
It kinda saddens seing Thee Oh Sees with only one drummer ...don't get me wrong, Dan Rincon is doing an amazing job, but what I liked the most when seing them live was the punch of the two drumsets that ended up straight to your f'ing face. I heard they hired a new one, can't wait to see him in action :) Anyways, always a pleasure to see them live, in video or in flesh !
@A Tree Yeah with a "full time" synthesizer, I never had the chance to saw them live with this configuration, but the videos I've watched sounded interesting as well. And I'm not saying they won't sound great as a three piece band, I'm only saying I really liked the fact that they had two drummers because I think it was a big part of their recent sound/performance. Anyways, I still will see them at least two times this year, we'll see what they have in stock to blow our mind !!
Joshua Jiménez I think its Erik Jimenez from Together Pangea on drums, he was playing on the recent eu tour anyway, I think Ryan stated hed left for personal reasons. I saw TOS last year witn both drummers at the beginning of the tour and always thought Dan was quite a weak drummer compared to Ryan, but watching this now, Dan has improved so much after a long stint of touring, I think they would be fine with just him now, hes a fucking beast!!
I love this exact type of music. Elevator Through had a song with this vibe called "The Pick Up" and it kind of also reminds me of early Floyd. But other than that I don't know who else makes psychie-organ rock like this song. Even the Osees (or whatever they call themselves now) don't have other songs like this one.
Astral seasons drift on by In wavering delight and stretching on through time As a soul should surely be for all eternity and present in a sigh At a pace so patiently dally there for you and me placid all the while Ah the ticking of the clock and the ringing of the stocks are relics of our lives Our love flows on endlessly our love is pure and free a vast and depthless sea
Something I just noticed: at 6:01 he puts the pick in his mouth. A few seconds later, he very clearly spits the pick out onto the floor. Then, he pulls another pick out of his mouth. Has this guy just been singing and playing the whole song with a pick in the side of his mouth for this exact reason??!
Listen to this and then to Whiter shade of pale by Procal Harum 1967. There are some cool similarities yet completely different. This song is a masterpiece.
Cool dude, i love him. Finally a band with quality attitude. You should publish the KEXP recording. Because I think that the album unfortunately does not come across so well, in contrast to the live session. Such as. the Delvon Lamarr organ trio did that too.
Saw the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio @ Detroit Jazz Festival. Two words: phenomenally funky. Easily my favourite performance during the festival. They made me shake my groove thang righteously.
one of the single greatest guitar tones ever achieved during a live performance
That’s a facts man I can’t get enough
What an epic ass sounding song, love progressive rock like this
totally agree!
John Dwyer is the king of tone hands down.
Asi es
i thought it most definitely was a forest fairy making those magical noises with a vintage hammond. imagine how shook i was seeing dwyer soaked in sweat playing this little-ass keyboard in the corner.. makes it even better for sure
I love this comment hahaha
"little-ass keyboard" 😂
Gratitude & prosperity for all in the Age of Aquarius my friends, the elementals are ready to link again ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You can even see his crack sweat while he plays the little ass keyboard 😍
I watch this video every day
Garrett Thomas guess you could say you watch this forrrr all eternity
so do i
one year later, I've delved so fucking hard into this band. and I csnt get enough
honestly one of the rawest performances ever... so sick
I too brou, Power. Soul
I am proud to say this is my favorite modern performance. Has held it's place for 4 years now
Absolutely
That's a Big 10-4
This just might be my favourite rock and roll song ever. The way it builds, crashes, ebbs and flows. Truly magnificent.
One of the most underrated guitarists (and bands for that matter)
This man is a genius. What else can be said, seriously. Just enjoy whatever he does. Incredible.
how does this song not have 12 billion views?
I can't remember the last day that I didn't spend at least 30 minutes watching live Oh Sees videos
I can’t even meet anyone who knows who they are and I live an hour and a half from SF. Everyone where I live has a beige soul. I have to get out of this suburban nightmare. If I let someone who liked Thee OhSees I’d be so happy. They’re playing in SF on my birthday in less than three months.

One of the most enthusiastic guitar players I have ever seen.

Yes. He is very enthusiastic. Like a child. 😅 I love him. John forever. 😌
yep, 2021 and this is still the best sound ever made by a guitar

This version is perfect, even better than the album one
It's the best version I've ever heard. The guitar tone is amazing.
inded my friend, indeed
best song to listen to when im baked af, the live performance makes this song even better. john dwyer just is a god with the guitar wtf
Tomas Carranza dude this whole concert while baked is a journey
@@massimoamato5593 this whole band while baked is a must
@@nathanss28 listening to music while baked is essential
@@drworm1332 listening to music on acid is essential
John's guitar tone here will be studied for eternities
Keep coming back to this version... Oh my! I am immersed in it. Wish I could have been there in person to feel it.
This is the best version of this song. ever.
So glad this band is getting popular
Max Mooney I love how they are always ALWAYS finding a way to blend different styles that you didn’t even think could blend, like when they do something new it’s forever in their music they just keep adding and adding more
You kick ass for so long people will begin to recognize
Still blows me away. Never gets old.The progressive build up in this song is intense.
I dig the rolling of the R's he did in this performance. This will always be one of my favorites by them, miss the second drummer though.
JADESDED forrrrrr all eterrrniteeee
Looking how drummer is playing in this song is so enjoyable and satisfing

This band is totally amazing! That's a really great song, the singing, the soloing, the power and energy, wow!
I'm completely blown away
@galaxyseven, Hi, and Happy Birthday 🎂!
That guitar is almost a rifle.
or a shotgun. Lol
They are so good live. This song hits so hard live.
This is what I needed in my life right now. This sound is unparalleled.
I am watching this like twice a week lol
Personally, still the craziest tone I’ve ever heard from John God Dwyer
Definitely the best 9 minutes of my day, and I don't mean it in a sad way. Nothing beats Thee Oh Sees live.
A lot does actually
Nothing beats Thee Oh Sees live!!! :)

Unfassbar perfekter KEXP-Sound, unfassbar gute Band! Ich feier dieses Stück fast jeden Tag! Rock on!
Ich frage mich, wie viele Mitmenschen in Deutschland sonst noch so nen guten Geschmack haben und warum ich sie nie antreffe ^^
I love the guitar work on this, so brutal, love it
These boys are dripping with talent....
There will never be another band that kicks this much ass
My favorite Oh Sees track
Robert Kimber same :)
My favorite too.
Love watching the crowd slowly start getting more and more into it
Great use of the OP-1! Fantastic band as well!
Now that’s what I call pure poetry. this cover is worthy.
A collaborator just turned me on to this, I've listened to it 20 times in the last day!! Sounds like Danny Weis jamming w/ the Floyd in '67.
4:01 Ramona & Scott make pilgrimage to Thee Oh Sees

Astral seasons drift on by and waver in the light
Stretching on through time
As a soul could surely be for all eternity
It's present in a sigh
At a pace so patiently, waiting there for you and me
Drifting all the while
And the ticking of the clock and the ringing of the stocks
Are relics of our lives
Our love flows on endlessly, our love is pure and free
A vast and depthless sea

Stretching on through time
As a soul could surely be for all eternity
Is present in a sigh
At a pace so patiently, waiting there for you and me
Drifting all the while

Oh hell yeah! This is one of the best live performances ever i seen, sounds amazing.
Is there an acid tab on that pick?
Just noticed that he ate that shit XD
Jake Mathews, What time? I usually notice things I have done micelf : )
This is in another level to the album version and other live versions, just awesome guitar omg
Spotify recommended this song to me and i am thankful for it
This was my first song/live performances ive seen by them. Although their other stuff is different than this. Sticky hulks is definitely my favorite. 😮
It kinda saddens seing Thee Oh Sees with only one drummer ...don't get me wrong, Dan Rincon is doing an amazing job, but what I liked the most when seing them live was the punch of the two drumsets that ended up straight to your f'ing face. I heard they hired a new one, can't wait to see him in action :)
Anyways, always a pleasure to see them live, in video or in flesh !
they only had one drummer before their last incarnation and they sounded great...
fear not! They have another second drummer now! His name is Paul Quattrone
@A Tree Yeah with a "full time" synthesizer, I never had the chance to saw them live with this configuration, but the videos I've watched sounded interesting as well. And I'm not saying they won't sound great as a three piece band, I'm only saying I really liked the fact that they had two drummers because I think it was a big part of their recent sound/performance. Anyways, I still will see them at least two times this year, we'll see what they have in stock to blow our mind !!
So Ryan left the band because of the new meatbodies album? That's my guess, I really like his style of drumming, he's a beast.
Joshua Jiménez I think its Erik Jimenez from Together Pangea on drums, he was playing on the recent eu tour anyway, I think Ryan stated hed left for personal reasons.
I saw TOS last year witn both drummers at the beginning of the tour and always thought Dan was quite a weak drummer compared to Ryan, but watching this now, Dan has improved so much after a long stint of touring, I think they would be fine with just him now, hes a fucking beast!!

Saw the band at Chalk on the 28th May. I decided crowdsurfing at 6:32 was a great idea.
It was. worth.
Something I just noticed: at 6:01 he puts the pick in his mouth. A few seconds later, he very clearly spits the pick out onto the floor. Then, he pulls another pick out of his mouth.

Wouldn't put it past mr dwyer
You know when a dude is eating his guitar pick it is worth the listen, these guys put on a great show.
If you've ever said "I wonder what it sounds like if i turn on every fx pedal at once?" this be it
What a great song and performance.... Right up there with Echoes live in Pompeii.
Like borat always says, "very nice!"
