Documentary following King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s 2023 14-show U.S. residency tour. The most prolific, exciting, and dynamic band of our time... There is just no one like them.
I made this documentary with only a point-and-shoot camera and no crew… it’s rough but it’s real :) Huge thank you to all the amazing fans/friends involved and to @mysteryjackofficial and Hunter Richards for letting me mix-in their audio.
Being a Gizz fan is one of the greatest joys of my life.
Love, Carter

NOTE: This DIY film is made from my point-of-view on the tour and simply a documentation of my personal experiences and the portion of the fanbase that I interacted with. If this angle is not appealing to you, don't watch! It is not meant to make any statements about the fanbase as a whole but rather be a time capsule and straightforward documentation of this exciting era in Gizz’s history. Just because I filmed something doesn't mean I necessarily support it - I'm just showing you. (It's a documentary!) I made this for fun and to show why we love this awesome band. I and the people who travel for Gizz realize we are very lucky to be able to do this, and all of us make sacrifices in our lives, work hard, and allocate our spending in order to afford it. People of all backgrounds have been following bands like this for decades - it's nothing new. Traveling for Gizz is a fun hobby that brings us joy and connects us to other music lovers. The people you get to know in this doc are kind, awesome people who just love music. Also, in my opinion, it is simply not weird to be "obsessed" with good music. :)
Dude! This is simply amazing! Such a great and genuine portrait of a whole subculture through an artistic statement. I'm really overwhelmed by this. This is really what some (if not most) contemporary music documentaries lack nowadays. An unpretentious genuine and personal look. Congratulations!
This is such a nice compliment!!! Thank you so much!!❤️ I really appreciate it and so happy you enjoyed!! :)
Without a doubt, one of the most well done fan made anything I’ve ever seen ever. Got engaged to my fiancé on a mountain in Colorado, had the vacation of a lifetime, all based around seeing the first show at Red Rocks 2023. Life changing to say the least. This documentary is stamped in history, thank you so much to everyone involved in making it so magical.
omg thank you so much for such a nice compliment!!! i'm so glad you enjoyed it!! :) congrats on the engagement!!
I cried at the end seeing you and Makayla say goodbye… then float along is there… and the tears really started spilling over… haven’t seen them live… but they and their fans… move me deeply…
awww thanks for your comments!!! i'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Love how it’s also a beautiful story of two friends going on an adventure and the way they treat each other and everyone else is inspiring ❤
Awww I love that!!❤️🥲 thank you for watching❤️
This documentary is truly amazing. Absolutely fantastically done. I can feel the love amongst all the fans who shared. Amazing footage and candid interviews. I've seen Gizz once before and I'm immensely stoked to see them back to back in Chicago (marathon!!) and then Minneapolis this September. Watching this just solidifies my love for this band. I want meet the community now too! I feel like I know you all now after you captured everyone's essence so well! Ahh! I'm so happy from watching this. Thank you so much!
Omg this is so sweet!! 🥲 I appreciate the kind words and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! :) Exciting about Chicago and Minneapolis!! Gonna be amazing!Hope to meet you at a show!! ❤️
We’re called the “Weirdo Swarm?!” See how much I’m learning watching this documentary!? I can’t wait to be among my peeps! This 2024 tour will be my first time seeing King Gizz live…. It was tough not seeing them in 2023… but here I go! Flying toward the Swarm!
The dude with long hair in the yellow shirt at 28:21 is my dad, pretty awesome to see him here
This is incredibly well done! As someone with 2 young kids, I live vicariously through music docs like this. The editing, sound quality of the live clips, and overall story is raw and genuine and I didn't want it to end. Very thankful this popped up on my feed, great job Carter!
thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!!! :)

Hey weirdoswarm reading this comment! You should definitely watch the whole thing, but here’s 29 Timestamps for when you inevitably rewatch it and might want to jump around to your favorite parts. Enjoy! ❤
Thank u for this!
This is awesome, the concept of groups of fans following bands around the country was popular in the UK in the 80's with bands such as The Mission and New Model Army whose support, loyalty and friendship amongst fans continues to this day.
I absolutely adore this! As an Australian this really highlights why Gizz have gone all in on American shows; the community is so vast and deep out there, I desperately wanna have the money to go out there and hit a residency. But alas, one day I will see the Gizz live!
Thank you for making this! This doc is such a beautiful snapshot of the band and the surrounding community. For those like me who could only make one stop on the tour, it was really kind of you to take us along for the rest of it and to preserve it for posterity. I hope to see y'all and many of the amazing folks featured in this film next summer and fall. Peace and love!
Aww I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for watching and for the kind words! See you next tour!! :)
the production is so great, the flow, the footage of the boys playing in all new angles. can really feel the love put into this. resonates deep why i love the band so much. best gizz doc i've seen so far. gonna make all my friends watch this,
omgg thank you so much for the kind words dude!!! means so much to me!!
Awesome doc! At some point I started to wonder what it was like for some of the recurrent show-goers, getting their POV of some of the shows they went from how they traveled there until how they moved to the next date. Thank you for gathering all of this, it's priceless!
That’s so awesome!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!❤️❤️
Thanks Carter for catching me at four different show across four different states see yall in 2024
Joeys wave to you at 1:56:51 melted my heart. Then you give us some of his Work This Time solo right after for pure face meltings ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Right before he goes into an absolutely mind melting solo on Work this time. Life is perfect in those moments.
Night 4 in TN is a holy moment. I dunno how energy like that can get any better in any living moment that I have been a live for..... although I wasn't there in person, I have been there in my head and heart so many times.
🥹❤️ it really was , watching back i can feel it so vividly
"This is going to be the chillest show ever"
*Proceeds to have face melted off*
Was at every show w my buddy except Boston and the caverns this made me cry and makes me even more excited for the next tour glad I saw my self twice in this unintentionally lol thanks Carter for this
Great job ladies! It really does remind me of the scene around the hand full of Dead shows I made in the late eighties and early nineties.
The vicarious joy this gives me! What a beautiful piece of work you've put together and how blessed are we to be in this time of the Gizz.
Not only are they virtuosic musicians, they are to me, a prime example of the power of leadership - a band with a great ethos and attitude begetting a fanbase that is mostly of similar ethos and attitude. Work hard, play hard, take care of each other, have gratitude and don't take yourself too seriously. Theirs is not a pompous or scuzzy virtuosity, so their fanbase are not pompous or scuzzy. They share their music freely and encourage bootlegging and thus we get other works of art like this, creative bootleg merch, and awesome remixes from the fanbase.
Thank you again for capturing the love.
Awww thank you for watching!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Totally agree!! They really are amazing. ❤️
You've lived my dream and i am so jealous yet so grateful you made this 🙏 Its amazing! I cant wait to watch it again and again. Thankyou!
Loved this footage. I turn 50 when they play Chicago this year and I'd love nothing more than to be there on that rail. I've never seen them before.
Night 3 at Remlinger was my first Gizz show ever after listening to them since 2018, being able to see the show and catch glimpses of my girlfriend and I made my entire day. Thanks for making this!
You got a shout-out on their official Twitter bro you made it
And on their Instagram story!
Woo! (King Gizzard reference)
Met and chatted to Jack at the show in Manchester UK last year! My guy followed them across the globe. Absolute legend. Very different scene in the UK but it has its own sense of crazy. Sick doc!
Thank you so much for capturing and sharing so many beautiful moments. This brought many tears to my eyes. If I see you guys in person at any of the 2024 shows I want to thank you. Amazing footage and great job at capturing all the love at these shows.
Awww im so glad you enjoyed!!! Thanks for watching!❤️ Would love to meet you at a show next tour!
Did 10 shows this tour, crazy how I was there for so much of this but just offscreen because I was too shy. This whole thing really takes me back like nothing else has.
THANKS FOR FEATURING MY DRUNKEN BABBLING
ur a star!!!!
Man that Caverns acoustic set was out of this world. With the extended weather delay I had already surrendered to the fact that I probably wasn't going to see them that night. But the show went on and when they started with Lonely Steel Sheet Flyer, one of my favorite King Gizz deep cuts, I was in bliss
I was at the Hollywood Bowl, which was one of the most stacked setlists I've ever heard. I was there with my Dad and it was the best concert I've ever been to. I love this band and y'all so much.
did the whole damn tour, Boston back home to Los Angeles, changed my life forever and ever, I miss it soooo much, we go again this year! so happy this doc is finally out!! 🙂
my life would have no meaning without this band
Carter this is a work of ART. Thank you so much for putting this together. Absolutely overwhelmed with emotion after watching. Gizz fam is one of a kind. This documentary demonstrates that so well. Float Along!
Omg this is such a nice compliment, thank u so much!!❤️ so glad you enjoyed it :) thank u for watching and for the kind words
This was so well done! Great editing! I love watching stories like this! Chicago in September cant come soon enough!
Thank you so much!!! :) so glad you enjoyed! Ooo Chicago’s gonna be awesome!
Great documentary! I'm looking forward to seeing them later this year! Thank you for labeling all the songs (and people, too), so I could make notes to check them out on the music apps. I liked the glimpse of the Rail rider community as well. I go to a lot of concerts, but usually stroll in just in time for the first set. I've always been curious about the dedicated pit folks.
46 times! That’s amazing. It’s a happiness to see your love for music, your loyalty to your favorite bands, and your talent at making a documentary as your own love song to this band and its fans. 👏
The colors and shots of Amby's presumptuous at Caverns was B-E-A-utiful
I'm fucking ugly crying over this ending. I was at the remlinger shows (all 3 days) and the way you evoked so much emotion at that ending... using float along for the final song... it all just comes together perfectly. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS
Awww!!! Thank you for watching and the kind words!! ❤️ It makes me so happy that it resonated with you so much!! Hopefully see ya at future shows!! :)
@@carter_tate Already have tickets for the gorge 🤘
creating an entry for this doc on letterboxd so i can rate it five stars
oh shit you weren't kidding 🤣
@@gorillagangproductions7209 😭 for the record i didn’t create it, i actually didn’t think someone would do it but it’s cool that it exists 😭
Thank you for making this! It's amazing
The fact that Grow Wings and Fly is not an actual lyric in Shanghai is rather beautiful, no?
Right!! We couldn’t believe it
“Let’s get real high” isn’t either but when they did that jam during the day show at red rocks it was insane!! I was surprised to not see it in the documentary
This is brilliant, the rest of the fans are lucky to get to see projects like this.
A two-hours plus video about people talking about every damn song of this band, this is just insane
Beautiful crazy people united by a single rock band, what a wonderful record of humanity all over, I love that !
Gonna see them for the very first time in Argentina in march, this is really dope!! Cant wait!!
The band shared it on their socials! great job!
I love every bit of this! Last year I travelled from brazil to london to see them perform for the first time. It was a blast!
That part in the end you said you always felt a little off except when with gizz fans, that hit hard here...i want to be part of that someday!
❤❤❤
This is so fucking awesome. If i could save enough money to see them for every show on one of their tours, i wish i could. This is simly amazing. Started listening to gizz in 2017 and been a fan since.
This is wonderful. It’s so cool to see how much creativity there is in the Gizz community. Such a special band!
This documentary is fuck’n radical
Love this so much and love seeing the fellow gizz gals
I can't wait to meet some of y'all in Austin this year!
Thank you for making this. We were at all 3 nights in Chicago, and you have done a fantastic job of capturing the Gizz show energy.
Beautiful doc!! Ya'll get it. We all get it :)
It's giving Bootleg Holiday From Hell and I love it!!
What a perfect intro song to choose. That Lonely Steel Sheet Flyer is immaculate. Hope we get bootlegs of the Cavern shows
I remember Stu said they'll be released by popular request
@@lmntdtmlndI believe Stu said they’d definitely eventually release the Acoustic night at least. I really hope they do all of The Caverns shows, though. Epic run!
i have really good quality lonely steel sheet flying and the river/wahwah from night 3 at the caverns. i could send a google drive link if you want.
That Supercell footage 😍
Ayy that's me and my friend on the right @1:20:47!
AND THAT'S MY FRIEND IN THE DINO COSTUME @1:25:33!
thank you for posting this! Im from Brazil but Ive been following and watching every stream on IG and being spiritually there with yall! Gizz changed my life! Love Zane xoxo
That’s so awesomeee! Thank u for watching!!❤
Phenomenal!! Great documentary
Thank you for this! 🎉
Its really dope to experience this US Tour as an european. Its really a blessing to be a part of this family and i thank you for documenting this journey so we all can be a part of it ❤
The weirdo swarm is something so special
went to all 3 of the chicago shows so this video was truly a delight to watch. amazing guys!
loved this! i'm a huge gizzhead, but only seen them 4 times since becoming a fan in 2017 and likely will only be able to see them once or twice in '24, but mad respect to those that follow the tours and get to see all the amazing shows along the way. music for the soul
This is so incredible. i wish england had the same community y'all have it's so sweet.
Im sure its bound to happen sooner or later !
Carter this is awesome, thank you. You captured so many compelling moments during that historic tour. This reminds me of my days on tour with Phish in the 90s. See you on the next Gizz tour!
this is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen. see y'all weirdos in AZ this year
Incredible work wow wow
thank you!!!❤❤❤
the acoustic sessions are awesome, hope to experience them once live too
Great work enjoyed it, looks like you had one hell of a 2023🔥cant imagine how many woos you witnessed this past year
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love yr film even better than the 12 hour cut I’ve been watching …. Long life and prosperity to the Gizz ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
HIGH VALUE CONTENT! THANX CARTER!
I can see why the band wants to do more US touring based on this vision. Loved seeing your experiences, makes me jealous as a Melbournian, waiting to see them again🥲. Congrats on the awesome work, enjoyed the ride with you and all the other folks on tour
Is it feasible for you guys to come up to The Gorge show in Quincy, WA? Y'all are welcome here!
This was a such a treat! Once I hit play I couldn’t stop…brought all my good feelings back from that tour ❤ I’ll say hello if I see ya’ll in Richmond or Asheville this summer! NC represent!!
Awww thank u for watching and the kind words!!!❤ yess NC!!!
Enjoyed every minute of that! Thank you
This was wonderful
Carter… you nailed this whole thing! It was so much fun to follow along with you guys through the whole tour!!! This literally is my favorite video ever and will be watching it on repeat! I’m always trying to find ways to kind of fill the void of no Gizz shows right now and this did it for me 💖 seriously though props to you for spending the time to show everyone why king gizzard and the lizard wizard is the best band ever! We get it ❤️ KGLW4L ✨✨
awww this is so sweet, thank you so much!!! :) i'm so happy you like it!!
So amazing! What a great watch and showcase of the Gizz community. You're a natural born storyteller. Can't wait to see what you do next!
Thank u so much!!❤❤
This year I was fortunate enough to be there for all of Tennessee and two of the Chicago shows. Caverns really were something special. I will never forget the 2am Rattle snake Kazoo jam on the last night. What a great community.
I love you
Rattlesnake/Honey opener at show #9 was my favorite of the two nights I went in Chicago, but show #10??? Epic. Absolutely astounding I've been listening/watching that June 13th concert non stop since June 13th. KGLW is pretty much the only music I've listened to since Omnium was released. I don't have time for anything else, honestly.
Carter! Had to tel you I re-watched this for 2nd time - and I will watch it again - at the end of the- when you speak of why King Gizz means so much to you - I sob…. I feel the exact same way - they speak to my soul - I do belong on this earth in this age - while I haven’t officially met the weirdo swarm - I cannot wait to join in this year - I’ll be seeing my first 4 shows …. And I’m bringing friends - while they aren’t quite as crazy as I am - they do like em - and I have to tell you what my friend called the weirdo swarm - the “nerd herd” 😂😂😂😂 I love that too! Oh!!! And I’m listening to Sea of Trees for the first time ever - as I type this - they played it in 22 and bobdylanlovr69 got it on you tube - didn’t know Sea of Trees was their first name - and apparently - it’s Lucas’ favorite song - I can hear why…. Love and Hugs to all and again - can’t wait to be around people that get it….
Thank you so much! I fell in love w KGLW almost 2 years ago - during COVID -Watching Justin Hawkins Rides Again… I think it was Catching Smoke and then People Vultures and then Rattlesnake and then Gamma Knife, Crumbling Castle, Kepler 22b, KEXP - Red Mars for the Rich.. Billabong Valley…. And then.. The Murlocs… anyway.. I’m going to see them 4 times in 2024… got tickets.. NYC & Red Rocks!,, Never been to Red Rocks… although I’ve lived out west… I love how a fan said it was his first time west of the Mississippi for the band… I’m bringing a friend to NYC and we’re meeting up w another friend of mine for Red Rocks… like another fan/artist said - we’re 3 different generations.. I just love all that I learned about the community and set lists and the regulars… we’ll call ya… I want a cute hat or teeshirt or dress… just really excited… thank you for doing this documentary and you have some great footage from close up and thank you for the subtitles…. I needed them in a couple places where I had seen the same concert but couldn’t be for sure what was being said… oh my god… that teeshirt of Stu all sweaty w eyes rolled back and tongue out? I just had to put my jaw back in place… I was catching flies… looking forward to seeing you there - but I won’t be at the rail or pit - I’ll be fine in the way back or side…
This is really well made, cant wait to see them live one day.
2024 just started and i’ve been able to pick my favorite film! This is great and King Gizzard are absolutely going nuts with the fans! I know they going to do the tour back and forth to USA this year so i hope you guys having fun for more! Thanks for the documentary we couldn’t ask for more! Greetings from Indonesia
awww that's so sweet, thank you for watching!!!
That KEXP session is so good. All of them are. I still go back and listen to that Murderer of The Universe set often.
Wooooooo ! Thank you so much for this crazy amount of work
Much love
Peace
You really did an amazing job with this, the Gizz community is lucky to have firesouls like you in it ❤
Great work. Loved this . They truly are an amazing band. My journey began with nonagon and thing just get better. Peace love and respect to you. Enjoy your journey.
This is such an important video ❤
Thank you for documenting one of the best summer tours of my life! You did such an amazing job with this!🤘🏽🐊
Thankyou for your years of bootlegging diligence! You’re an inspiration to the next generation of those obsessed with live music
thank YOU for being such an awesome and important part of it Jack!!!
What a beautiful documentary of our favorite band! You captured the love, essence, and community of what it means to be a Gizzard fan 🙌🏼♥️👑🐊
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for all your hard work putting this together!
truly captured the essence of the whole culture building around these madlads. great work with this film for real its rare as shit to see something as special as a cult following like this accurately portrayed in film. so special, so FUN, so positive. red rocks were my first gizz shows and i'm so in it now, love these goofy fucks.
just for the fam that would appreciate this - after red rocks i was randomly picked to try out CLEAR and got to skip the huge line, ended up in line right next to the boys themselves! it was so nuts and cool, i met their moms and got to chat w stu for a few seconds. wasn't trying to be annoying but def appreciated their candid kindness. memory i'll never forget. much love yall see ya in philly
Holy shit you guys are rock stars! I love it so much. A friend just sent it to me and I’m only 1/2 hour in and have seen so many of our friends interviewed!
Thank you!!
Gahhhh damn that open water night two at red rocks was phenomenal
Thank you for this amazing documentary, letting all of re-experience some of our happiest moments last year and making it even more meaninful.
as a teenage gizzard, this band means so much to me, thank you for capturing this amazing community so well. cant wait for this fall!!
Ahh night 4 of the Caverns... when anyone there could have seen a free Gizz show. What a crazy turn of events, when they let everyone back into the venue without showing tickets...
This was special. Thanks.
