Michael Jordan is the Blake Richardson of basketball

It's super ridiculous that BTBAM has such a layered sound with so much going on and they still pull it off live. So much talent.

now this is prime time quarantine material

Pound for pound probably one of the most talented groups in existence, yet it feels like each member is underrated in their field.

It's amazing how they can reproduce that entire album live. Even all the overdubs that were done in the studio were present in the live show. The whole album came to life on that stage. Brilliant!

I discovered this album from a Spotify suggestion and became completely obsessed with it. I think I played it back to back for about 3 months. As others have said the sound and performance is so close to the album version it's amazing.

Node 0:11 The Coma Machine 3:43 Dim Ignition 11:16 Famine Wolf 13:34 san dieegooo 20:40 King Redeem / Queen Serene 21:10 Turn on the Darkness 28:15 The Ectopic Stroll 36:40 Rapid Calm 43:44 Memory Palace 52:21 Option Oblivion 1:02:15 Life in Velvet 1:06:38

This band is amazing in so many ways, but what impresses me the most is that they can write an entire album that flows so well with perfect transitions and logic from start to end, then be able to 100% reproduce it live with no transitions, without making it sound incoherent. That's BTBAM for you !

Can we get a raise for these sound engineers, sound quality top notch. Thank you.

Just about the greatest metal band to ever exist. They completely smashed it out the park on the Colors Ten Year Anniversary Tour. The sound production quality of their sets is exquisite.

I have underestimated this album. Everything this band does is gold

Tommy became the first Keyboard player since Geddy Lee to outsource playing the keyboard to the bass player.

Hard to believe they've been at it consistently for almost 20 years.

Not even 100,000 views. I am so blessed to know this band.

This will forever be one of the most incredible and well articulated albums ever written by a metal band

coming back to say we're going to need a 10 year tour for this album

This is one of those albums that once you start you have to finish, every time. Man I wish I could have been there to see it live.

I rememebr first hearing this album ,when I was visiting family in MX , I was on a beach at midnight listening to this , alone , it was great

This is consistently the best band to be able recreate exactly what they recorded to live performance. I will never cease to be amazed by them.

I'll just add my voice to the choir of comments that this album, and this band, hit different than anything else I've ever listened to. So insanely grateful for them and their music.

Dan Briggs deserves more closeups

The beginning of Famine Wolf gives me chills.

BTBAM is a listening experience. Its theatrical, metal, atmospheric. Its one of a kind and unmatched. Amazing.

helllllloooooooo

This is flawless. I believe this is one of the albums I will be showing my kids in 10 years and raving about it like my dad did with Korn and others with me growing up. Fucking legends. If you havent seen these guys live you're SEVERELY missing out.

One of the greatest bands of our time!

Took me a while to 'get' this band but now i love em. It's like if dream theater and mars volta had a bipolar baby

Seen BTBAM 6 times and this was absolutely their best show! The production and story telling was unlike anything I had ever experienced.

This might be the only metal show that I’d want a seat for. Mostly so I can sit on the edge of it.

Ive seen BTBAM at least 7 times over the years...never let down, never mediocre , never flacid ....

I love how they put a big glowing halo around Jesus, their drummer. Looks cool.

Great concert, happy this is now on KZfaq forever

Im so damn happy, i couldn't see them live because the fkin virus here en Buenos Aires, and since been a while that i wanted to see this DVD, so, this is a big relief :,)

I would pay so much money to see this album live.

This abum gets better every time you listen to it.

I was at that show, what an amazing memory! Still remains one of my top 3 bands!

Brilliant album, reminds me of moving to a new country on my own in 2015 and listening to this over and over again as I was familiarizing myself with a new city.

The Ectopic Stroll is just something else live. Thanks BTBAM ♥

One of the best metal bands of this generation. Thank You! You guys are a true inspiration !

The transition between each song is just...

I have a whole new appreciation for this album now that I've seen it live! It was almost like listening to it for the first time ever! That joy of discovery! Thank you so much for this!

such a tight live performance. the guitarists just don't fuck up ever

These guys have evolved into one of the best bands EVER...PERIOD!!!!

Holy shit was Tommy on fire that night. Clean AF

Pure perfection. I love this band.

Alaska changed my life. I've been on board ever since.

These guys musicianship and skill level are next level. They sound perfect just like the album. 🤘🤘

Tommy's performance is impressive to say the least, they're all tight as usual but this album is so underrated - it's like a soundtrack to a live screenplay and very immersive, Dustie is hands down a fantastic soloist with the amount of emotion he releases, Paul is too majestic and Dan is a compositional genius and arguably the backbone directing their fabulous work

I dont believe this only have 160k views because I alone must have watched it 100k times

glad i gave this band a chance. good asf

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I promise I'll buy this DVD when I'm able to afford it.

Cannot wait any longer!

Beautifully heavy, mesmerizingly technical - these are my words for these guys! Always goes beyond expectations and never fails to disappoint

thank you for posting this!!!!

They never stop bringing a joyful tear to my eye

Since I'm bored and stuck in doors. I would like to offer a few observations after watching yet another jaw dropping performance by the best band on the planet. Don't worry. It's long but I have a good point to make. Before BtBaM I was a huge fan of Opeth. (Still am. Saw them with Devin Townsend and Gojira a couple years ago. Fan-fucking-tastic show) They basically tried to do the same thing. Switching between genres. Switching up clean vocals with death metal vocals. Blackwater Park is still one of my favorite albums of all time. Deliverance too. But then Opeth started getting mixed signals from the fans. They were attracting two different kinds of fans who liked them equally but not all at once. Something I observed early on at live shows. In 2003 Opeth puts out Damnation and really stirs the pot. All clean tone. All clean vocals. I think it's a great album but it split the fan base down the middle. Then they release Ghost Reveries which is probably one of their best albums. It was a return to formula but the damage had been done. There are some sensitive fucking metal heads out there. Even I was a bit sceptacal they would ever release another Blackwater Park. Which is why by the time they released Watershed, I didn't even know it came out. Opeth was off my radar. Aside from listening to everything from Orchid to Blackwater and sometimes Watershed I didn't really keep track. Before Damnation they released an album every single year. Ghost Reveries took 2 years and I think Watershed took 2 or 3 as well. The rest of my knowledge (up until a couple years ago) comes from Wikipedia because like I said. "Off radar" Friends weren't really interested. Other bands were coming onto the scene. Yada-fucking-yada. Between 2011 and 2016 they release Heritage, Pale Communion & Sorceress. I didn't know what had happened but they changed completely and finally picked a genre they fucking excelled at. Old school progressive rock. The first album I heard that pulled me back in was Pale Communion. It took me totally off guard. It was heavy and progressive but old school and deep. All clean vocals. I thought it was great but I was very confused. Where was my Blackwater Park II? I go back listen to Heritage, same thing. Sorceress, same thing. Now they have a new album. Same formula. Same thing. Fucking great. And here is the thing. You can still tell it's Opeth. One forum I was on asked the question. Are you just fans of Metal or are you fans of Opeth? I was a fan of Opeth... and metal. Blackwater Park already exists. Why was I trying to put pressure on them to make another one? They had evolved. And I was so fucking happy for them. By the time I saw them live with this new format I was fully committed again and they fucking blew every single person away at that show. No more split fan base. Fans of Opeth were fans of Opeth. Not Clean Opeth or heavy Opeth. Just Opeth. And they still play a lot of heavy shit live too. And it fits in great with the new shit. This has happened to other bands who haven't faired too well on the other side. Mastodon, Gojira, Metallica even Opeth came out better than ever and I actually prefer the new stuff now. I post this here for people to get a true perspective on BtBaM. These guys probably should have gone down a similar path. But they haven't. They have never split their fan base. They have only gotten better. And they really didn't even need to. That is why I think this band is the greatest band on the planet. Because I don't want Colors II. Never even crossed my mind. They have consistently kept me satisfied with the amount of content and growth they have achieved. And that is beyond amazing. These guys are an enigma and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Simplemente, gracias.

Seen them twice so far. It's nice having a band that comes to Canada very often

THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!

This is easily their best album, hands down. Maximum talent, maximum composition, minimal growl. I wish all their albums were like this.

One listen and this was an all-time top 10 metal album for me.

Just ordered, love everything you guys put out!

Such a great show. Love you guys.

incredible! I have not heard this material yet and my jaw is dropped to the floor. They are such an amazing band. Virtuosity, tonal exploration pushed to the boundaries but still the same great original style of theirs. I have seen them twice in London few years back and that was unforgettable experience. I think I shall definitely get the tickets to their show if they play London again after the covid-19 lockdown ends..

One of my favorits for sure ! blake is such a beast :O

Thank you Metal Blade!!

Their songs always feel like a musical adventure ❤

I can't wait to see these guys play again.

That was awesome. Thanks for posting.

Such an amazing band. Capable of such progressive aggression and and then.., how to be still and haunting. Sunshine to darkness and the palette in between. Bravo!!!

One of the best concerts ive ever seen!

Saw them last year (pre-covid). Absolutely impressive. It sucks this only has 88K views

Just what I needed with this lockdown 🤘

Amazing!!!! After Corona come to Brazil!!!

I never realized how good they are....

Thanks

Ahhhh i remember when this album come out,you guys so great

Love it 😍😳

I was supposed to see you guys for the first time in may. I'll keep learning Extremophile Elite in the mean time.

Can't wait to see you live for the first time in Italy, soon as possible! I love you!

When i first listened to this album back at its release, i wasn't feeling it much. But, with more listens it has grown on me and now, behind colors of course, this is prolly my 2nd fav album by my fav band. Can't wait for the 1st album to be out again. Real talk self titled is prolly number 3 for me, although alaska is a close 4th.

Hell yeah. Cant wait.

I listen to this at the end of every long work day. I Need to see my favorite band again in Seattle.

Rapid Calm - goosebump. Repeated many times...

Awesome live performance!

Such an important band of the last couple of decades both technically and creatively, as important as Voivod in the 80s or Death in the 90s.

I notice that every one who is a fan of these guys has seen them at least twelve dozen times

Amazing how much you guys did visually with just lights Simple lights and that’s all you guys needed to add to the music to put on a performance that felt beyond just a live band playing music I felt like I seen the story that pops up in my head when I listen to this album being performed in live action infront of me Absolutely surreal I’ve seen BTBAM 4 times already and I don’t think I’ll ever stop going to a show whenever you guys tour

Super great performance from the bois.

Fantastic

FINALLY!!!!! I AM SO HAPPPPYYY!!!

Between the beer and me, perfect!!

Wish I knew about this earlier . Mesmerizing 🤘🔥

Seen these bro’s 5 times live , always amazing

I appreciate this album more with each listen, and certainly more than I did in 2015. It really is on par with the rest of their catalog.

Really good live music with skilled and gifted singer and musicians👍👍👍

great sound

This is a masterpiece, nothing less than that. S2

Amazing

So good
