I wouldn't be able to stand the mental toll of having to make constant connecting flights while only eating the most readily available food. I imagine this would've been a very good moment.
@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 flights don't happen so often, at least not in my experience. Usually, it's overland but can be some very long hours. When you get to the venues and play it makes it all the more worth it
I had moved to London from the States a couple months before the Helsinki gig and decided to go. Unfortunately I have really bad ADHD and while I booked a flight and airbnb I realized a week before the show that I forgot to get tickets to the concert, and it was sold out. All week I monitored Finnish ticket resale websites and couldn't find anything available. The morning of the show I arrived in Helsinki and was in the line to go through customs and checked the resale website for the millionth time and 1 ticket was for sale for even less than retail, I was literally shaking trying to go through all the sign up prompts on the site just trying to buy it in time. Fortunately I got it and got to the show and it was a blast. I'm the guy in the front row obnoxiously recording the performance of Vital Transformation at the end of the video, but Mahavishnu Orchestra is my favorite band of all time and I couldn't resist catching a snippet of it.
In case this ever happens to you again: even if you don't manage to get a ticket from a re-sale website, in my experience it's quite common in Finland that someone in (or near) the queue has a ticket to sell. Things happen - not everyone always shows up. So especially if you've come so far already, it might be worthwhile to go and check out the queue - perhaps you can get a ticket from there.
@@goneaerial41I once sold a ticket to a guy with a sign at the venue. I got tickets for a couple friends, one couldnt make it. Sign guy entered with our party. Its possible :D
The mindfuck of seeing your own front door in an Adam Neely video is immense, while being a totally expected thing to happen that I think about it :D The Helsinki show was amazing!! Being home in literally 30 seconds after such a massive rave was a nice perk too
Since it’s standard procedure in Sweden too they should really play here more often 😇 May I selfishly recommend Sara Kulturhus in Skellefteå since it’s a cool place and close to me 👍
For visitors as well. I travelled into the country to see them in Amsterdam at Super-Sonic Jazz Festival. The staff there was so friendly and I left that night with a big smile and a new favourite beer off their recommendation :)
I was at the Helsinki gig and it was increadible! Had been waiting for this one ever since Glad your bags made it but also disappointed your bags made it
I came to the venue about 30 minutes before showtime and saw the line streching across the block and halfway down the next block. I'm surprised almost everyone got inside before the show started. I was way at the back but it was a great show.
I don't know a place where the people don't synchronize the claps to ask for a bis. Perhaps only in the US they don't. Well, they can't use the metric system as well, that wouldn't be any surprise.
@@Asmukthe metric system is easier, so it’s actually the opposite of your statement - the whole conversation to switch to it over here is that it’s simpler. Maybe only knowing metric is why Europeans can’t play jazz…?
You need to really be devoted and passionate to endure this level of lifestyle stress. When I was younger I thought I wanted that. But now I've realized, I'll be happy to play in a local band at our village festivals every once in a while to get that on stage rush. Props to you for chasing this dream and making it a reality though. Life is all about purpose, and making dreams come true 🤘
it's crazy how modern Pop Artists can do 180+ concerts a Year, pretty much living on the street for the whole year. it's like you live your life in Autopilot because you're too exhausted to think about anything, Just keep moving to the next Venue
If I got a wish from a genie, it'd be to be so good at music that people come to see me. I ain't squeezing myself in a plane. Oh, and I play Sundays at noon at my own venue (old converted church with great acoustics). Not dealing with travel, late nights, and ticketmaster.
Oh tour life on trains. I know it too well. Running from connection to connection with gear is the worst workout. I have slimmed down my setup so much that I can do the connection sprint now easily.
Hey Adam, I saw you play in Brisbane last night and.. honestly when I saw "Sungazer" on ticket I couldn't believe it. Sungazer is touring with Plini?? I never ever thought I'd get to see you live let alone playing with my favourite Australian artist. The show was amazing and I am so so grateful that you came over here - Australia is a pain in the ass to play, thank you so much you guys were ridiculous tight and I will never forget last night.
Yeah I made a big Dunglish by translating that saying word for word in front of a whole ensemble of American musicians, not realizing it's 'putting a feather in one's *cap* "
The venue in Haarlem is actually pretty close to the station, only a fifteen minutes walk. Might have been a better option than looking for a taxi for over an hour. That being said, I really enjoyed the concert, especially the Ba(ch/ss) solo!
True! I think we originally planned to do that, but were wary of doing that because of our experience that morning. Hauling gear overland is tiring - yeah it can be done, but we also have a long gig that night (and every night for the next couple weeks) so we try not to exhaust ourselves too much if we can help it.
@@AdamNeely Haarlem doesn't really do Carnaval tho :). It's only 'south of the rivers', and in Twente and parts of the Achterhoek, so you'd have had a nicer walk :).
Helsinki show was so amazing! Honestly probably the best live music I've ever heard. I really hope we can see you guys in Helsinki again on your next Europe tour!!
The gig in Helsinki was spectacular! And that impromptu high five at the end of the gig by that person in the first row was comedy gold. Seeing you live for the first time was amazing, and seeing what you had been through the same day makes it even more incredible. Thank you, and welcome again! 🤩
the layover portion of this lovely video reminded me of the time our 6-piece band had a layover from Boryspil on the way back home after a 5 stop EU tour. Even though we managed to get the guitars into the cabin the first time, on the return when boarding a suited guy spawned with a portable scale and demanded us pay 66 € per piece to get them on cabin because they were "overweight". So we unloaded our personal equipment and filled our pockets with TS9's and whatnot, I wrapped my curly Vox jack on my body and put my shirt on to board the plane, all the while thinking how on earth I was gonna explain it if people saw my naked body somehow wrapped with cables, and that it was not what it looked. Good times.
can we all just for a second that Neely has always been there for us and I don't think this is recognized enough so I will just state that everybody should be happy. He is like the grandpa we never had.
It was absolutely amazing to see you guys in Estonia and see all the stuff you guys go through. Can't wait to see you guys again. Next time will need to take some earplugs, as the place was tiny, so had ear pain for a week straight, funnily enough you guys were the first actual concert I have ever gone to.
This was so entertaining. Love it and hang in there, I'm happy to hear the struggle is worth it. I do want to say something though. I'm Dutch and our government (especially the last 10 or so years-and for the foreseeable future) does not care about the arts at all. If there is some sort of support for the arts it is because very passionate people dedicate their lives to it and there is still an audience passionate enough to pay for art and culture. The budget keeps getting cut year by year and the tax incentives keep getting taken away. However, the people that care about the scene try to support it in very different ways. For example, have dinner (or some drinks) at the independent cinema or music venue even if you don't plan to catch a movie/show. Catch up with a friend at the Public Library and get a coffee and a brownie there. This of course on top of supporting your favourite artists and local unknowns by buying tickets and merch if you can afford it. Having said that, thank you so much for your videos! They always make me wanna pick up my guitar and play something! ❤
Great video! I've always been curious about touring, but most of all about what it's like to tour in Europe. Very enlightening! What chaos! Wow! Sungazer are real troopers!
Lots of respect to you, Adam and the rest of the band! Love you, your music and your shows, and hope to see you in Europe again soon, and I can't wait for the new album ;-D
So happy for your success Adam and crew... What a great thing how you bring people together.... please let me know when you want me to down tune the bands instruments to 432.... I hope to have my songs out this year.... thank you for the inspiration
Indeed, even we musicians that don't tour and just play local venues, we have many times said that what we are getting paid to do is move our gear in and out of the venues and setting it up and tearing it down and not for actually playing music. That's why we charge the same for a three hour gig as anything longer. It doesn't matter how long we play. That part we love. It's hauling the gear around that is the real work. And it's the same amount of effort whether we play for an hour or for four hours.
For a long time I lamented the end of Adam Neely's Bass Lessons (not to knock your video essay content, just not my cup of tea), but I absolutely love your gig vlogs man. I've learned so much watching these and they've made a legitimate impact on my music career
Adam, next time you're around, it would be amazing to see you in Belgium too! Depending on the time of the year you'd tour, I might have some direct contact if you'd be up for it. Or at least they should get Sungazer in Maastricht where they recently had Dirty Loops and Knower. Take care, great to see you as a missionary spreading the F word. Fusion.
Love this video. I had exactly that layover experience from Amsterdam Schiphol via Stockholm Arlanda to our final destination. I was carrying my two kids while running down the terrible long hallway connection between terminals on Arlanda. LOL during that section of the video! Please come back to Europe soon
We just came home from a 3-date "mini tour", leading from Western Germany to Vienna, Budapest and then Brno in Czech Republic and then back home to Western Germany. Even thought we drove by van and had all of our stuff like securely luggaged in the car, I feel every single bit of struggle. I feel the appreciation for a self cooked meal after all of the junk you plant into yourself. I feel the sensation when the crowd goes rampant on your music. Nice vlog!
I had the pleasure of seeing you and the band perform in Tallinn. It was a great experience. Thank you for doing a tour in Europe, and especially the Baltics!
Haha, the trick is: you do not make tight connecting windows in Europe. When travelling, I allow for at least 30-45 minutes between trains as (at least in Germany) they're ALWAYS late.
Haha true. Amsterdam to Haarlem is a 15 minute ride leaving every 15 minutes from the same platform though so no need for the stress really. But if you're visiting you wouldn't necessarily know that
You put on an absolutely brilliant show in Helsinki, and now knowing what you had been through to get here just makes it all the more impressive! Well done!🔥
Hi. I have a trick for you: When travelling in Europe (eg. Amsterdam-Helsinki), I suggest using Copenhagen as travelling/layover hub. First of all CPH airport has way more connecting flights from all over the world, to other Nordic countries. Secondly the airport is much better (faster services, better food, logistics, the lot), several hotels are within 5-10 min. from the airport (using the metro, which runs every 3-4 min. 24/7/365) or by taxi. And you will always(!) be able to find a taxi in the airport ready to transport your backline. (I have traveled like a touring musician for past 35+ years, still out there doing the miles..... :) ) Best regards, Michael
Ever since you made the switch to focusing more on touring, i have been dying for a new album to listen to and freshen up the setlists. Very stoked to hear thats happening!
I've been commuting with SAS with transfers at Stockholm Arlanda airport for five years up until recently. I had such a déjà vu feeling when I saw you guys running through the terminals to catch your flight, only to find that it wasn't even close to boarding. 😄 Can't even count the number of times I've missed my connection at that airport because of something like the plane just lingering somewhere for undisclosed reasons. Flying really sucks! Thanks for the on tour tag along!
Adam i was so bummed when you announced that you were stopping your regular videos. This vlog style of the realities of the touring musician is great. Your style is great and Sungazer is awesome. Hope to someday see you live and in person. Have fun chasing that musical dream.
3:19 hey! Don't blame me just because taxi drivers are dicks! 😂 Next time you guys should rent a few bakfietsen. I'm only half-joking. See you at Oeteldonk 2024!
I just got back to Melbourne from touring the East Coast of Australia. I know it's a lot smaller than what you were doing, but man I relate to that 'Oeteldonk was yesterday' moment. We were driving 8 hours every morning and performing that night, and it felt like months.
cant wait to see you next week in brisbane!!! i got the vip masterclass thing to so im really excited to hear you speak before ! love your music and your work :D
Saw you guys for the Paris stop of your tour. You guys are amazing and thank you for going through all that hurdle and play us amazing shows! Definitely not the last time I attend a sungazer show
![ประสบการณ์ จ้าง Developer ที่ผมจะไม่มีวันลืม [ภาค1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bzivN4KDg-k/mqdefault.jpg)
Petition for Sungazer to play Oeteldonk 2024. Let's make it happen.
Make carnaval jazz again
How on god's earth do you even know what Oeteldonk is
that knowledge was forced upon me
I'll be there!
Play in South America 😭😭
Patronaat realizing that travelling musicians may want to have something other than fast food for a change is heartwarming.
I was at the Haarlem show, it was awesome!
It's a beautiful venue!
As an American who's toured in Europe, it's definitely appreciated the level of hospitality they give musicians coming to play
I wouldn't be able to stand the mental toll of having to make constant connecting flights while only eating the most readily available food. I imagine this would've been a very good moment.

"Jacob Collier showed up"! I burst out laughing! 🤣
For a good second i took his word as fact. Then I realized that Jacob was probably not actually there.

Shawn's excitement at 15:01 about the synchronised clapping gives me life
Adam trained us well with Anthem's "this song's in four-four clapping exercise" 😂
If you're not clapping in sync for the encore, what are you even doing with your life 😂
I'm excited about his excitement.
It has never occurred to me that encores can be requested in any other way. Maybe it’s a Nordic thing? 😎
Since it’s standard procedure in Sweden too they should really play here more often 😇
May I selfishly recommend Sara Kulturhus in Skellefteå since it’s a cool place and close to me 👍
Hahahaha seeing Oeteldonk in a Adam Neely video the most surreal feverdream sht ever.
All the love from 🇳🇱
Best quote: "A classic Spinal Tap moment" being lost backstage in Helsinki! Love it!
The hospitality and venues in the NL is always top tier, despite the chaotic nature of touring once you hit that stage it becomes more than worth it
For visitors as well. I travelled into the country to see them in Amsterdam at Super-Sonic Jazz Festival. The staff there was so friendly and I left that night with a big smile and a new favourite beer off their recommendation :)

Interesting to hear that the clapping for the encore doesn't syncronize in other places, I thought it was universal! Awesome show!
Came here just to mention it, if you clap long enough here it just happens... mindboggling haha
I don't know a place where the people don't synchronize the claps to ask for a bis. Perhaps only in the US they don't. Well, they can't use the metric system as well, that wouldn't be any surprise.
@@AsmukI’m in Canada. I’ve never heard of synchronized clapping for encores before.

We often prefer screaming
Exactly! I’m from Portugal and it happens here all the time! I was surprised the band was so surprised about it…🤷🏼♀️
man how i love this kinda of videos, adam kills it with editing, storytelling and everything else
You guys were so good with Plini last night. 1st time hearing you, truly great. Come back to Brisbane anytime! Safe travels
SUNGAZER AND PLINI IN AUSTRALIA OMG OMG OMG I NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY WOULD ARRIVE
.... and Jakub Zytecki!!!!!!
aaaaaaand Melbourne is already sold out. What an emotional rollercoaster, is this what it feels like being on tour 🤔🤔🤔
Perth tonight! Psyched!
@@PhillipWhyte the roller coaster continues - I got a secondhand ticket so get to see them in Melbourne on Friday!
Many thanks for also stopping by at Metropolia university in Helsinki! It was an honor to meet you and to hear your thoughts on music!
I was at the Helsinki gig and that was amazing! It's incredible that you've gone so far, and I'm so glad that you've made it. Thanks!
Dude, Avant George sounds fucking so good.
Also I love that some jazzy metalcore started playing when running through the airport. Lol
WOW! Truly encapsulates what Tour can be like. Cheers Adam this was awesome.
Sungazer NEW ALBUM?? woot woot
great video Adam as always, not stress inducing at all
Eagerly awaited!
You guys are gladiators. I'm exhausted just watching this. Unreal.
Helsinki show was so amazing! Honestly probably the best live music I've ever heard. I really hope we can see you guys in Helsinki again on your next Europe tour!!
thanks for this video Adam, people don't understand how hard it can be touring as an independent artist.
The editing and story telling were stellar, would love to watch more of these,
Nice, thanks Adam

The incredible stamina that touring musicians like y'all have never ceases to amaze me. Looking forward to the next album! ❤
This perfectly captures it. Getting through Amsterdam Centraal with a 31kg IEM rig; that’s a test of your spirit for sure
The synchronized clapping for encore is a thing in Denmark too. It's pretty awesome. I thought it was actually a thing in many places.
Gotta love that not only did you guys have to make several stressfull connections. You also choose to film multiple of them!
Sync clapping in Switzerland as well. You're more than welcomed to play here as well 🙂
This is why is so important to have good tour manager! Nice Video🤗

I had such a déjà vu feeling when I saw you guys running through the terminals to catch your flight, only to find that it wasn't even close to boarding. 😄 Can't even count the number of times I've missed my connection at that airport because of something like the plane just lingering somewhere for undisclosed reasons. Flying really sucks!
Thanks for the on tour tag along!
Thank you for these videos!
that was brutal, cheers to you guys. The show must go on!
That synchronized clapping is something You could experience in Germany, too.
Loved seeing you in Copenhagen, Gothenburg and Helsinki last year. Will definitely be coming to see you at Pori Jazz this summer!! BASS!!
Adam i was so bummed when you announced that you were stopping your regular videos. This vlog style of the realities of the touring musician is great. Your style is great and Sungazer is awesome. Hope to someday see you live and in person. Have fun chasing that musical dream.
I saw you guys in Helsinki, one of the best live music experiences I've had!
3:19 hey! Don't blame me just because taxi drivers are dicks! 😂
Next time you guys should rent a few bakfietsen. I'm only half-joking.
See you at Oeteldonk 2024!
I just got back to Melbourne from touring the East Coast of Australia. I know it's a lot smaller than what you were doing, but man I relate to that 'Oeteldonk was yesterday' moment. We were driving 8 hours every morning and performing that night, and it felt like months.
Dig these sort of slice of life vids on tour and appreciate sharing your travels! Sungazer also sounded great in this vid
As a big fan of Kiesel (and known a few basses and guitars) so cool to see you carrying a Kiesel bass through Europe.
Thanks for sharing those 2 days. Looked like more than 2 to me too.
SO excited to see you guys play with Plini in sydney next week, the music is fantastic
So glamorous! This it is why passion must be the main driving force above all else
7:09 ... nice use of the Jaco lick!
Hectic. Fantastic. Keep up your great work.
felto so homesick seeing the train station of Haarlem.🥰

Tour vlogs are the best content out there, thank you
Definitely happy that you guys made it to the Helsinki show in time, since I had to travel 4 hours to get there myself.😊
Wow, been following this channel since forever and totally missed you were playing in my country 😮
I miss touring. I've had prima dona and bootstrap tours. I miss that connection. Thanks for posting.
Saw you guys for the Paris stop of your tour. You guys are amazing and thank you for going through all that hurdle and play us amazing shows! Definitely not the last time I attend a sungazer show
Excellent vlog … HARD work for your well crafted creative art … Excellent music (loved the crafty moment)
