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 👍
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.
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 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…?
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.
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* "
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.
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!!
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.
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 :).
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.
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
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.
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! 🤩
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!
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!
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
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
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.
Feel we do the synchronised clapping in Norway too. Encores and large casts where everybody bows… Never thought of it as a regional thing. It’s a special kinda funny and sad when there is no encore, and slowly the synchronised clapping dies out as the audience looses hope🤣🤦🏼♂️ In the end there’s one person, or a small enclave, that keeps going.
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.
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
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!
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
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!🔥
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!
you were IN my city?? aaaaahh i shouldve payed more attention :( awesome to see you go through all these adventures. thankyou for anbother beautifull story!
Patronaat folks are legit good folks. They know. All of the tourbands live on fastfood and microwave steam meals.. It's hard out there, especially for international artists. A good homecooked meal might look awesome, but it's just what they do to make sure artists are at the top of their game. And it's paying it forward by means of you guys giving it a spot in the video. More artists will want to come to Haarlem now they've seen this. And I'm all for it! Everybody wins!
Wait, audiences DON'T sync up their clapping when asking for an encore in other places? Great video, makes me even more thankful and appreciative of you coming over to Helsinki, it was a privilege.
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!
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
![[ROADIE VLOG #1] Traveling to Europe & First Two Shows w/ Electric Callboy](/img/n.gif)
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.

Best quote: "A classic Spinal Tap moment" being lost backstage in Helsinki! Love it!
"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.

Hahahaha seeing Oeteldonk in a Adam Neely video the most surreal feverdream sht ever.
All the love from 🇳🇱
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 👍
What a fun lifestyle this is, I probably wouldn't survive a week of it. Mad respect for all the touring musicians.
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.
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.
In Ireland (or Dublin anyway) we chant "ONE MORE TUNE (1/4 note rest)"

WOW! Truly encapsulates what Tour can be like. Cheers Adam this was awesome.
Love this episode. Been there more than once and I sympathize. Love your postings!🎶🎸😎
You guys are gladiators. I'm exhausted just watching this. Unreal.
thanks for this video Adam, people don't understand how hard it can be touring as an independent artist.
Jared’s tone is god-tier
His tone soars for dayssss
That's something you and Jared have in common. You have one of my favorite alto tones Dave!
This perfectly captures it. Getting through Amsterdam Centraal with a 31kg IEM rig; that’s a test of your spirit for sure
The editing and story telling were stellar, would love to watch more of these,
Nice, thanks Adam
Man, I could really feel the stress from watching you guys try to travel. That was intense.
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!
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.
Grandpa 😂
Wait wtf. America doesnt do the syncronized clapping for encore?! I thought that was a universal thing lol
I've definitely seen it happen, but it's not a given
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…🤷🏼♀️

Australia was awesome thanks for finally coming. Also feel free to come again!

Thank you so much! We loved every beat! 13:44 ❤
It's a good day when Adam upload a gig vlog, thank you Adam!!
Hectic. Fantastic. Keep up your great work.
"Tight connecting windows". Awesome
Saw you guys in Helsinki, thank you for making it and thank you for a fabulous gig! ❤❤
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!
I don't know how you guys do this every day. This is so crazy! We love you for it. Thank you for bringing your music live to us!
Dude I love you. You inspire me. Still can’t forget that show on the MS stubnitz
Keep on creating
These kinds of stories are all too true and very relatable to what happens while on tour, but waking up to an unexpected carneval is another level 😅
you were IN my city?? aaaaahh i shouldve payed more attention :( awesome to see you go through all these adventures. thankyou for anbother beautifull story!
Patronaat folks are legit good folks. They know. All of the tourbands live on fastfood and microwave steam meals.. It's hard out there, especially for international artists. A good homecooked meal might look awesome, but it's just what they do to make sure artists are at the top of their game. And it's paying it forward by means of you guys giving it a spot in the video. More artists will want to come to Haarlem now they've seen this. And I'm all for it! Everybody wins!
Wild.. thanks for vlogging! Keen to see you guys in Brisbane
Wait, audiences DON'T sync up their clapping when asking for an encore in other places? Great video, makes me even more thankful and appreciative of you coming over to Helsinki, it was a privilege.
Every show I watch lately is scored by Blake Neely
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!
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
Loved seeing you in Copenhagen, Gothenburg and Helsinki last year. Will definitely be coming to see you at Pori Jazz this summer!! BASS!!
Thank you for these videos!
Wait - Americans do not synchronize their clapping when they want more? This holds true for most of Europe as far as I know.
As a Russian I can confirm
Definitely happy that you guys made it to the Helsinki show in time, since I had to travel 4 hours to get there myself.😊
I saw you guys in Helsinki, one of the best live music experiences I've had!
Hi from Belgrade, thank you for coming and holding this wonderful concert here, it was surreal seeing you all play together on stage irl :D
