He did something equally bonkers when I saw them live a few days ago. Dude tossed his stick in the air during a soft section of a song... It hit the ground and bounced twice, both bounces in-time with the music. Un-fucking-real.

My girlfriend son's band played this last night during the Tri-C High School rock off at the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I thought it was a Primus song and later found out it was Black Midi which I never heard of. They brought the house down with their version and advanced to the finals.
@@paulfoot9230 Have you HEARD their albums? They are quite astonishing. It's all just opinion and taste though. They might go mainstream, they might implode, they might fade away. But still, they are brilliant right now [just my opinion].
@@tassiegamer4516 i would say its because of the fact that the two bands make extremely complicated music, that incorporate different concepts into their respective music, yet both having such a different sound.
I can't believe I've been a fan of Black Midi for this long without ever seeing what they look like... ngl I expected a bunch of middle aged white guys
So what has colour to do with it? So if I listened to a Blues band or Funk band it's a bunch of middle aged black guys? woke turd. Just for once open up and listen to good music without the profiling and personally who cares how old an artist is if it sounds good then claim it.
I figured for the longest time that this band was a bunch of 40-something-year old seasoned former jazz musicians who decided to get to get togther and drop some alternative experimental rock, but to my shock, found out they were younger than I am. They are insanely advanced musicians and you can tell they've spent nearly every day of their lives playing some capacity.
Hearing Hellfire, I though these dudes were angry late 30's or 40 year olds, then I look'em up and they're barely out of high school holy fuck. These guys are ahead of the the curve
@@lenonel3286 lo mismo acá en México, pero la única fecha que tienen es en un festival carisimo y las entradas individuales para su día ya están agotadas porque comparten con arctic monkeys y paramore
Real Cardiacs/Mr Bungle vibes going on at times here. Scratches the same itch in my autie brain (which means I'm clearly going to wind up monomaniacally obsessed with black midi for a bit as I have done with Tim Smith's outfit and Patton's before that)
The aggressive attempts to mosh in parts of the audience are by far the most genuinely 'kooky' thing here. Got a great laugh out of the gurning and angry facial expressions. I wonder if they were lost in some kind of fugue state, so blackout drunk they thought they were at a Minor Threat tribute show?
Checked these out after hearing an interview with Lennon Gallagher were he mentioned them. Sounds like they have been heavily influenced by Mr.Bungle( that's a good thing).
Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
Bruh how do they turn the reverb off and on for the vocals when needed? That’s such a cool effect from completely dry to full wet vocals in certain moments.
They were in a dancing mood that night, the LCD Soundsystem covers, the disco grooves during the breakdown of Speedway and the verses of John L. Can’t believe I saw it in person
A friend just asked if I'm going to see them tonight at the theater. I'd never even heard of them. I don't think they're my scene although the drummer sounds good. Hope ya have a good time!
@@bl00df4rt Well they only have three so not much of a choice yet but before Hellfire there is Cavalcade and Schlagenheim And if you like those you should check out their friend band BCNR Ants from up There and For the First Time
@@bl00df4rt If you like the madcap carnival parts the most, start with Hellfire (album #3). If you like the mathier, jazzier, more left-field parts the most, start with Schlagenheim (album #1). The one in between, Cavalcade, is weaker than the other two, but it features "John L" which is easily one of their best songs and I'd definitely recommend listening to it for that track alone.
Please do a proper tour in Britain for once!!!! I can't take just seeing 2 dates when there touring,the only time they came to where i live, they supported Cat le Bon and everyone was sitting down,it looked dead as F as expected so i didn't go.
When was this recorded? Just saw them at the End of the Road festival (Dorset, UK), headlining the Garden stage on Friday 2 Sept. They were mindblowing, and the highlight of the festival against some very stiff (and friendly) competition. The singer sounds Scandinavian, and their style is too, but apparently they are from east London.
rip to queen lizzie its a shame she'll never get to hear the fourth black midi album
edit: nvm i dont think any of us will
the chuck 3 inspired album gonna be great tho
Queen Lizzie died so black MIDI could fly
She can’t hear it but she’ll surely experience it
she's gonna be bumping album three for eternity though
at least she heard this track when she died
They’re literally shitposting during the performance and it still goes unbelievably hard
NO COMMENTS?!?!?!?! lEmMe fIX ThAt fOR YOu
Geordie Greep truly is not of this earth. Misplaces vocals and still fits them in without even fucking up any of the guitar work.
Just like João Gilberto did in the 60s
Dude plays the whole song effortlessly too
he sings like hes never heard any of his songs before. love it

I just discovered them. This is so dope, this is like a modern day King Crimson/Mr. Bungle hybrid. So lit.
This is so different from the studio version but the instrumental is still so sick
First time listening to this band, its like Primus but Les plays guitar instead of bass and they have keyboards, very cool
primus + talking heads ?
Nah, more like Mr. Bungle
Cardiacs, just Cardiacs
thought the same thing. there are a few other modern bands like this but claypool made it big first
Have you guys ever heard of King Crimson and Godspeed You! Black Emperor?
That's what it is.
Morgan Simpson for President of the Nation Under a Groove. That young man could make a groove out of nowhere every-single-time
相変わらずクールが極まっている。気持ちがよいサウンド。ありがとう
geordie has so much swag
They're all so incredible at what they do, truly.
And then there's Morgan transcending the physical realm back there.
3:25 Morgan casually throwing drumsticks
So smooth too
When I first listened to it, a cross between Mr Bungle and Jello Biafra in the "spoken album" phase came to my mind.
0:31 cam shoots seth lol
One of the craziest shows I’ve ever been to
3:52 Simply beautiful.
Morgan SImpson wearing a shirt in public, cancel Black Midi it's over
why did you do this :(
@@absoluteconfiguration I have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement
Just found these guys via this video. They remind me of Mr Bungle. Very postpunk spirit.
This is the best live performance of a song I've ever witnessed.
You've obviously never seen Bucks Fizz live then?
Black midi is modern day Primus
Great comparison I hadn't thought of
Saw them at End Of The Road, interesting that they play such a fucked up/subverted version of the song. Audience left me thoroughly bruised haha.
@daddy pig It really was, there was this massive crush at one point where I got knocked down and about 5 people fell on top of me lmao
Nice Cardiacs pfp
@@user-wx2ek3uv1i cheers!
Love seeing all of the concert footage!
Getting Primus and Mr Bungle vibes……..Perfect 👌🏼
so cool, seemingly effortless playing. reminds me of zappa

This is great, but only a bunch of people here have properly compared them to Mr. Bungle; 'Disco Volante' immediately comes to mind, which is amazing.
Can’t wait to see you guys in Mexico!!
Wtf no pensé que fueras fan de black midi, que basado
y en chile? 😔😔
Iban a venir a Buenos Aires en abril de 2020 pero nunca volvieron a poner fecha

Amazing kick ass truth 2023 . Listening in San Francisco. I love you BMidi
Philip and Lizzie bumping to this I imagine
3:23 to see Morgan throw a stick up 15 ft, not catch it, and just act like nothing happened.
Astounding! Amazing music! I saw Black Midi in late 2022 and have tickets to see them again in early July at heh Montreal Jazz Festival.

come here expecting the Venom classic. was not disappointed
stunning.
Living Colour, the real thing!

I listen to Doing It Stealthy when I'm experiencing existential dread. It makes it worse but... I just can't stop.
Long Live King Greep
Yo. Just noticed that Morgan is starting traditional grip. And then switches back to match.
I've never heard this before, but I love it. It reminds me a lot of early post-punk.
Bruh how do they turn the reverb off and on for the vocals when needed? That’s such a cool effect from completely dry to full wet vocals in certain moments.
thats the job of an engineer .
turning a knob? u retarted bro ?
could be a pedal?

God damn this drummer
This drummer ❤
lol at morgan's failed stick toss at 3:25
Maybe it’s just me but I wish Geordie would put a bit more into his vocals. great performance though
I can forgive it as he can play the guitar riffs perfectly, live everything else makes up for it
yeah. at least he puts the effort in in the studio recordings.
me too man
I think he has a cold in this one
He's great in the studio, but half his live performances sound like the vocal equivalent of forgetting that the final exam was today.
A beautiful homage to the legendary Christian band Venom; Reverend Conrad Lant would be extremely proud... if hubris were not a (deadly) sin.
Yes! I like this... Nice to hear ...💞😎
Greep fully sounds like the officer character he's singing as
First impression: Chaos Jazz Rock.
this is clickbait I wanted to see shirtless Morgan Simpson
god bless my ears

please release live version of Speedway! best version IMO
They were in a dancing mood that night, the LCD Soundsystem covers, the disco grooves during the breakdown of Speedway and the verses of John L. Can’t believe I saw it in person
