A lot of people are saying that these midi machines are ruining music and performance, but if you have more of an insider's view of what he's actually doing during this performance, it's still quite impressive. It really is an artistic choice, whether to do it solo with all the equipment he has or with a full band, but I think that with this setup we can see a more "stream of consciousness" Chet Faker. He has COMPLETE control over what happens to the song. He can turn it into whatever he wants, and I think that's a really cool thing in modern music. As opposed to being in a band and having to deal with three, four, five other people, you can't move as quickly without orchestrating everything. It's different, but I like it a lot.
I didn't even know he made a "mistake" I just remember thinking "omg, he jamming to his own song he is so into it" it makes me like him even more. He's really talented
I love this song so much. It blows my mind. It’s so beautiful. The layers of happy transcendental beats with the solemn lyrics. Chet Faker is just gorgeous.
Although he could have messed up in this instance, it's not uncommon to begin playing in a layer of a song with the track volume turned all the way down, and then loop the piece, as he is here. Then you can fade the track in slowly, or manipulate it into the already grooving song
Had the pleasure of seeing Chet perform live last night and 1998 was one of the most unforgettable performances; the crowd went absolutely insane (in perfect unison that is)

0:51 it's okay Chet, we still love you.

touché
Quite brave too. And I love it.
this is quite lonely actualy
He's incredible. Super talented
what separates professional from amateur musicians is not the abilitiy to never make mistakes, but the ability to recover and not give a shit.
Its not about beign a "professional" or an "amateur", because I can do that and Im not a "professional", its about knowing how music works.
alright lad
no no no no no no no no. professional means you get paid. thats all those words mean folks
i actually like the mistake alot, it gave the song a sort of bridge for the intro...
thats whats nice about playing live
He looks like he's having so much fun! Good on him. Chet faker, 1998
apatel98 Like a child enoying a game ahahah
I didn't even know he made a "mistake" I just remember thinking "omg, he jamming to his own song he is so into it" it makes me like him even more. He's really talented
Mark Nosal I had the same feeling
Even though he messed up, he still brought it back like a boss!
exactly what I was thinking
Joel The question is did he mess up or is it all part of his diabolical plan to be AWESOME!?!?! *MIND BLOW #420*
fatboymig1 where did he mess up?
@Mrsimpy10
At about 51 seconds, his keyboard isn't turned on.. He then has to improvise for a few beats haha
Joel oh haha thanks!
such good
many midi
very voice
much awesome...
waveshadow Wow.
My favourite song. Amazing 💣💥
Chet Faker brings nothing but good memories from NOS Alive.
Haha, I love watching him dance! Especially performing live.
This song is real, from the heart, lots better than some of the crap songs. No special effects, no pretty lights and no greed. Love it. Thank you.
1998, 2005 and 2014
Beautiful vibe
Makes me happy
After I belive I have watched all his live videos and even saw him live I think he's enjoying doing music the most.
This is what being a dj should be
is playback! 1:50
shut up bitch!
Totally
totally wrong, this is what being a live performer should be
No. A DJ should mix songs. This is what a producer should do
hot voice !
so FUCKING smooth my god gotta love him
Absolutely impressive! And people still think performing with "true" musical instruments is "harder" than producing music
Dario Scuderi mate. Thought the SAME SHIT. He's juggling 20 fucking independent time sequences and tying in vocals. Brilliant
I think nobody thinks that lol
Check out Prefuse 73.
2020 Lets go baby
This is really cool I've never seen someone DJ this interactively before. Dude's got mad talent
This is so fucking amazing. Literally mind blown how good Chet is..
That audio quality is beautiful.. lifts an average Chet Faker song up levels.
I love this song so much. It blows my mind. It’s so beautiful. The layers of happy transcendental beats with the solemn lyrics. Chet Faker is just gorgeous.
Handsome and talented :3
The important thing is that he's having fun not caring about his mistakes. So proud of Chet!
HE IS EVERYTHING
That song makes me feel some kinda wayyyyyyy man
Nice, very nice. Appreciate the deliverance of this.
🎃 2022 and still enjoying this!
haha woooops he messed up at 0:52 lol. nice recovery!!!
Definitely nice recovery! Check out his face when he realises the fuck up!!

Ipothas Gaming he definitely messed up and that is a little uncommon now days haha
It's 2018 and Built On Glass is still my favorite album
When he starts playing that keyboard and the sound that comes out makes me feel some type of way.
awesome performance! love Chet!
I love him the music and his shirt 😉
fuuuckin smashed it
What a beautfiul , beautiful man .
So great!! ❤️
sooo sick!
Cool as dope. His face in the piano intro 💖
Very nice!
So cute! Dance it up Chet! Love you xxx

Where did he play ?
Enmore theatre in Newtown :-)
The crowd was hardly moving at that concert, music was great but looked like 50% of the crowd were stood still recording on their phones!
Great job, really like it.
we're loving this sound! great performance
Miss you Chet!

He covered well the mistake he made at 0:51 xD
If you notice, that mistake changed the whole body of the song. Yet he still managed to make an amazing set.
Pedro Alves love how live it is. he also had the wrong setting on his keyboard selected
+Pedro Alves and also his midi keyboard was set one octave up! hahahahaha total mess with his gear!
Great Great Stuff

Chet Faker/////////////1998/////////nice////////live/////////life///////
que raro ver como baila fuera de tiempo, eso es ansiedad, igual es muy bueno!
+Martin Rez Masud no baila fuera de tiempo.. baila en doble tiempo =3
+longhouseboardmusic para mi baila a destiempo sobre todo al principio, estoy seguro que estaba muy ansioso y nervioso, pasa, igual es un gran músico.
Martin Rez Masud que opinas de lotus flower de radiohead? baila a destiempo tbm? es dj no bailarín. .. Jajaja
0:51 whooooops:D

Beasting it in all sense of the word... SN: never saw someone with a manly beard tear apart a midi setup like that :/

Need that jumper
