Keep in mind that in 1996 bands like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Deicide, etc existed. So I'm sure these kids heard heavy music live before. Lol.
@@omnicide3251 also if you want some really good and fucking heavy extreme metal kind of similar to Meshuggah (but not really) check out Strapping Young Lad, especially their album City.
For real. People didn't realize that Meshuggah would influence Djent, Death Metal, modern Black Metal and Metal as a whole for decades. Way fucking ahead of their time. Glad to know artistry like this gets paid it's dues eventually.
Seriously. This is when Korn was blowing up, in addition to numerous other bands not nearly as innovative and forward thinking as the almighty meshuggah.
I'm from the small town and the school where the festival was held. Organizer went bankrupt after the first festival. I think they needed 5000 guests and there were 4-500 guests. You can also see that many in the audience have red shirts with Staff on them. The organizers became indebted with millions.
YEA I SAW THEM WHEN THEY OPENED UP FOR TOOL. THEY PLAYED SUM COLLAGE ARENA. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DURHAM N C. THERE SOUND WAS LOW COMPAIRED TO TOOL. TOOL WAS SOO LOUD WITH TREBLE. IT WAS TO FN HARD TO LISTEN TO. BUT WAS A GOOD SHOW NO MATTER. xDx
I’m gonna cry. Crazy how ahead of their time these guys are. If this is considered heavy by today’s standard I can’t even imagine how the crowd must’ve felt
I think you're stretching it. There has always been mad hard stuff, just not in the mainstream and not as easily accessible as today. Some namedropping... Throbbing Gristle, Einstürzende Neubauten, Merzbow... and some of Lou Reeds more bizarre work. :D However, I'm not aware of rythms like these. But what do I know? :D
Probably a little overwhelming but also intriguing. Gotta start somewhere igniting that spark in the metal heads brain about much greater music out there
1996 and the audio quality is better than 95% of live videos on YT from 2015-2020...not to mention this is the third time I've watched this entire video since i found it just after the start of COVID quarantine...THANK YOU for the upload and obv THANK YOU to Meshuggah
General public give no fucks about audio quality beyond a basic lack of distortion so phone companies always cut costs on internal microphones. Insanely high quality cameras, stupidly crap microphones.

In 1996, people recorded on analoge tapes in the video cameras. The tape gives a "natural" compression on the audio recorded. That`s why so many old recordings have great sound. And because the possibility to control the rec volume on smart phones wasn`t available until recently, most amateur footage of concerts from ca 2000 until 2015ish is distorted and sound horrible.
Honestly, this set is amazing. People at the show, 25 years later, probably still have no idea how big of an influence this group would have on modern metal. They're truly ahead of their time.
90s Meshuggah was so fucking good. Jazzy, proggy, brutal and raw. No matter how many years I listen to this band, they never stop to amaze me. Right from the start, they have occupied a league so far beyond their contemporaries, it's absolute madness.
Listen: I give the crowd mercy here. If you read the influences of this band from their Destroy Erase Improve album, they list Earth Wind and Fire as the FIRST one, then the obvious Metallica/Slayer/ etc, Primus, then they list movies of that day too. No one in 96 was going to see this band coming, or growing to be as popular as they are now. This is indeed INCREDIBLE history, solid sound, and honestly a typical performance for Meshugah. These men do not disappoint, no matter which era.
@@chadmarx7718 They also site movies from that era. Influence is an interesting thing. As for EWaF, definitely the emphasis on the 1 unifying everything, and the way the riffs carry over the bar - listen to September. The verse riffs, and horn riffs later in the song. The riffs tend to syncopate for 2 bars at a time. Meshugah just took that idea WAY further, and their riffs syncopate for 4 bars before coming back on the 1. Thomas mentioned that what they do isn't new. Meshugah's approach to that idea is def unique, and THE thing that makes them stand out. They stretch their riffs out for 8 bars and sometimes 16 bars on Obzen.
holygroove2 best and most underrated band in metal history. I've listened to them since 2002 religiously and I am more a fan everyday of these gentlemen. True talent and vision
@3:25 Some guitarists point to their guitar and do the thumbs up motion, Marten takes a walk all the to the back of the crowd in the middle of a song to have a conversation with the sound person at the sound booth; when Meshuggah goes, they go all in.
I think what blows my mind the most is how this was 1996 when Jens was basically 30 years old, they'd only really started making music for like five years as Meshuggah but even in their 50's they're continuing strong as one of the most influential metal bands of the 21st century. We need to keep this music alive even after they've all retired - which doesn't look to be soon. We need people who can keep this music alive through performance. Their performances are eternalised, of course; but it shouldn't stop when they can't keep going. Thanks for uploading the whole show
that's why I LOVE METAL it shows Age ain't shit if you have the spirit . Certain artists are like Fine Wine Meshuggah, Gojira, and Deftones are in that category . hell even Slipknot isn't really metal but they still practice their craft at an amazing level for their age.
First time in a Meshuggah pit 20 years ago my nose broke, like 4 years after this show. People’s ears and minds broke at this one. Wow thanks for the footage.
I've never laughed at a live concert the way I did at the beginning of Humuliative before. Fredrik diving onto the floor, Marten walking through the crowd, Seriously metal as fuck.
It's amazing to watch and listen to. Very young and full of energy, such a raw sound. Then to see how refined and professional they have become all these years later. Very thankful someone captured this and posted it.
This truly is the power of Meshuggah live shows to this day. No matter how loud, complex or convoluted their songs might get, you never stop hearing each instrument individually. Nothing ever muddles, every tiny bit enjoyed to the max, a true audiophile jerkfest 🤤 Kudos to the sound technicians as well who make this possible. Have enjoyed every show they've played, and looking forward to be engulfed in their new inventions 🥳
25:10 Was Fredrik playing the Stage Clear music from Super Mario Bros? Such an insanely crisp performance and the preserved audio & vid quality is superb.
Heavy AF!! Wish I was there, legendary. I was super privileged to see their older songs on the 25 years of deviance tour, I knew how special it was to see that, bucket list shit, I got a drumstick too!!
Ok - Jens is screaming actual pitches for Suffer in Truth...even back in this day, they had ridiculous talent and used it to the fullest. Soul Burn and Vanished 🤘🤘🤘
This is awesome, so ahead of the game and still are. At a time when I was 11 years old living in Scotland waiting for the N64 to come out in the September. Oblivious to these aliens until 10 years later.
Sad to think that someone on that day probably went home after what they thought was a weird band and show, had some dinner and went to bed that night and never looked into them ever again and not knowing how much of an influence these dudes have been today since that day in '96 💔 They're most likely just chilling at home today with their kids, having a nice breakfast and working 9-5, yet every now and then think about how weird that day was and pondering what happened to those weird dudes.
Lol this reminds me of the time I skipped channels when Shed came on MTV because I didnt like it. Then a few years later I discover them properly with their video for new millenium cyanide christ.
what he is like the most cookie cutter extreme metal vocalist around. He is the weakest link in Meshuggah, by far. Vocals are a common problem in Prog bands. Why do they always suck???
Tbh one can only be so mad that the crowd was dead. If I were someone in 1995 and had no idea who these guys were and heard them for the first time in a live setting I’d likely be so mind blown I’d want to just stand there and watch them play instead of mosh.
Very nice my friend; a WONDERFUL capture! I find this to be nearly as atomic as the 'Chaosphere' album. Isn't it strange that the 'sonic annihilation' of 'old world technology' actually sounds better here than some gigs today? If people want to stage dive or get messed up in the circle pit, FINE. But if you don't stand and watch: what memories are you REALLY taking away with you?!?!? It's not about how big the crowd is, it's all about your integrity as a band, an honest representation of who and what you are as a performing unit. Meshuggah have always had these qualities in spades. Thank you, and bless you. Stay safe, stay well everyone. 🤗❤️👍🖖✌️🤘👋😷😷😷😷
I remember being at a concert in about 2008-09 having never heard of Gojira before and seeing them live was insane. I didnt understand what I was hearing it was just so heavy I knew I needed more. Think it was 36crazyfists In Flames and All That Remains playing with them. I would be going nuts hearing this at the time.
First time I heard Gojira (2008 ish) I had just gotten out of 11th grade and a friend drove me home and popped their cd in the player. I lost my sh. It was great. Meshuggah tho, I was 13 (2004) and snuck downstairs as one does, to watch headbangers ball at 1 am in the living room, sound turned down so I wouldn't get caught. and saw the video for Shed. I had only heard black sabbath and godsmack beforehand. Djent changed everything.
It was so heavy, no one knew what was happening.
ohhh i don't know there's quite a few in that crowd that know EXACTLY what's happening
Keep in mind that in 1996 bands like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Deicide, etc existed. So I'm sure these kids heard heavy music live before. Lol.
@@stefanomagaddino632 yea but this is different heavy... It's really new for that time ..
@@omnicide3251 I don't know man, Death metal is heavier, Meshuggah just tunes so fucking low.

This is just like when marty mcfly plays "johnny be good" ahead of its time and no one could understand the name of the game
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, your kids are gonna love it." Love that movie
For real. People didn't realize that Meshuggah would influence Djent, Death Metal, modern Black Metal and Metal as a whole for decades. Way fucking ahead of their time. Glad to know artistry like this gets paid it's dues eventually.
Saw them support Machinehead the year before. The pit was crazy. So intense.
Imagine if Marty walked up and started future breed machine
Literally was going to post "ahead of its time" so have a like
His vocals sound exactly the same to this day...fucking insane
I thought that on the first song XD
They were more dynamic back in the day!
Exatamente!
Yes! I get angry when I see people complaining that he lost his voice. They got better overtime!
@@ArcticChonk yeah when you are young that's kinda common.
This video is some serious metal history. Thank you for sharing!
So true. It had everything you could ask for: Heavy Riffs, CP guitar solos, good ol´ hockey choirs (and shirts) and little bit of haare krishna.
Seriously. This is when Korn was blowing up, in addition to numerous other bands not nearly as innovative and forward thinking as the almighty meshuggah.
Only one person clapped when he said "Future Breed Machine"......... 😳 different times
Now you hardly hear that song live !
The way Jens introduced it. 🤣
Nu ska vi spela en hårdrockslåt.
(Now we're going to play a hardrock tune)
What's the weird 'my first guitar riff' he does at the start of that? Just messing around?

Because everyone was going ape shit over Machine Head and Pantera ruled the world.
The first time I saw Meshuggah was completely by accident when they toured with TOOL. That was a show that changed me forever.
When was that?
Lateralus era... Google will have better details
Same here!
YEA I SAW THEM WHEN THEY OPENED UP FOR TOOL. THEY PLAYED SUM COLLAGE ARENA. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DURHAM N C. THERE SOUND WAS LOW COMPAIRED TO TOOL. TOOL WAS SOO LOUD WITH TREBLE. IT WAS TO FN HARD TO LISTEN TO. BUT WAS A GOOD SHOW NO MATTER. xDx
2002, I went for Meshuggah tho
I’m gonna cry. Crazy how ahead of their time these guys are. If this is considered heavy by today’s standard I can’t even imagine how the crowd must’ve felt

The sound quality for this type of band in a video from 96 is super incredible.
Especially for the camcorder. Usually when played back it sou ded like a blender F ing a lawnmower lol
Probably dubbed over with the audio the PA recorded would be my guess why it sounds so good, that or just a really good mic filter
@@HamsterWheelGamingor because of his fking insane rhytmic riffs which are on point!

Destroy Erase Improve might be my new fav after watching this.
yeah it is still their best work imo.
Music history, are you dump, stupid, or just crazy? Music history 🤮You don't know what you talking about...
Agreed
I love how Mårten just walks up to the sound booth 😂
A true professional
Honestly, this set is amazing. People at the show, 25 years later, probably still have no idea how big of an influence this group would have on modern metal. They're truly ahead of their time.
Nah we knew back then too, it was already a thing.
They do the soundcheck immediately before the show for crying out loud!
Imagine hearing future breed machine in 1996
90s Meshuggah was so fucking good.
Jazzy, proggy, brutal and raw.
No matter how many years I listen to this band, they never stop to amaze me.
Right from the start, they have occupied a league so far beyond their contemporaries, it's absolute madness.
lol the crowd back then didnt know how to headbang to Meshuggah's ''4/4''
Like lol

Or he just bought a wireless. Every guitarist does things when they get a wireless to show off they have a wireless.
Beyond comprehension at that time!

Am i the only person whos going to comment on how clean/modern the guitar and bass tone from 1996 is? Its 2020 and Im blown away.
yea listening to dei specifically makes me feel like im in the future
Wanna hear the mad part? They were using Mesa’s in the studio in this era, but what you’re listening to is a Marshall Valvestate😂😂
This pre dates the Axe Fx Standard by 10 years,Cliff hadn't even conceived of the concept of Fractal audio yet.
The only extreme metal band with that tone during that time MAYBE i would say fear factory. But this is still super heavy for it's time for sure.

It’s never too late!
1987
something about Fredrik spinning in blissful circles with a coca cola shirt on in 1996
The greatest thing I’ve stumbled on in a while
I've been listening since 97 and I finally get to see them this year.
Me too. At Royal Albert Hall. Can't wait.
Dude Meshuggah is so awesome for performing without even knowing if they were gunna get paid! And they still played their heart out
That's every upcoming band nowadays, dude.
They just love playing this stuff. You can tell how addicted to their own style they are and it's remarkable
That would have been the majority of how bands were in the 80's 90's.. paid shit, if at all, but still played their heart out. Nothing special.
They got paid. It's not the US
Ladies and djentlemen, Meshuggah!
The Crowd was'nt ready for this, Meshuggah was ahead of it's time
Wow, crazy how his voice stays the same after all these years. Class is permanent.
Yeah you think he would get better and progress over time, hey?
@Benjamin I hear ya lol. While the rest of the band kept getting more and more out of the box, the vocalist has done the same shit for over 20 years
He's boring as hell.
24:25 Tomas and Fredrik's interesting vocal improv.

I can't tell if the guy in the back at 37:48 is either not impressed or is having his life changed beyond any human motion
This is absolute treasure. Thanks for uploading. So ahead of their time. They STILL are.
12:41 Sickening is one of my favorite songs with Meshuggah, very underrated in my opinion!
The whole None EP is fantastic. Just groove after groove
"Good show, can you do that 500 more times?"

These guys are legends. Never seen a performance from them where they didn’t play as tight as the album
Suffer in truth performance was so crazy!
I remember being at a concert in about 2008-09 having never heard of Gojira before and seeing them live was insane. I didnt understand what I was hearing it was just so heavy I knew I needed more. Think it was 36crazyfists In Flames and All That Remains playing with them. I would be going nuts hearing this at the time.
Yes it was the come clarity or a sense of purpose your.
I had the same shock listening to “the way of all flash” played live
First time I heard Gojira (2008 ish) I had just gotten out of 11th grade and a friend drove me home and popped their cd in the player. I lost my sh. It was great.
Meshuggah tho, I was 13 (2004) and snuck downstairs as one does, to watch headbangers ball at 1 am in the living room, sound turned down so I wouldn't get caught. and saw the video for Shed. I had only heard black sabbath and godsmack beforehand. Djent changed everything.
21:40 heaviest breakdown in all of metal
Thank you for sharing. Insane/Unreal for 1996!!
Looks like a modern metal show minus the cell phones. Everyone just standing there.
