Big Thief - Not (live at Best Kept Secret 2022) 

If you get this band, this song and this perfomance, you get it.

So much love and respect to them for being able to recover from that 'false start'. It happens to the very best of them and that is exactly what Big Thief & Adrianne Lenker are

i know i am late very late to the big thief party , but man am i glad i got here. so of the most cathartic music i have heard in a long long long long time.

The frailty and power of this band give me chills every time. Just epic

took the time she needed to reconnect to the song. It proves she plays with her insides. You go girl.

heartbreaking, breathtaking how the band's unite around Adrianne..... there's something more than a band... there's real love, respect and professionality....

Not since Neil Young's Live Rust (Cortez the Killer) have I been so totally immersed and blown away.

Man much love for this singer and her band recovering. Fell in love with this song when I heard the national play it. Had to hear the original version and was not disappointed.

That is brave, courageous performance, right there. When a friend brought this song to our jam, I was fixated on learning it. Still have to glance at lyric sheet, cuz the images are thick, deep, wide, piercing.

Love how loud Max is in the mix here

Absolutely amazing recovery. I feel like I was her up on stage that was such a roller coaster.

This should always be the intro for this song!

What a 🦆 'in heart n nerve of Steele to hold on and command her brain to chill, to remember. Also thank fuck for her drummer. A beautiful moment

Best song and most savage guitar solo of the last decade imo, right in the feels. Well in fact since 2013, that's when Push The Sky Away was released :-)

Adrians an absolute beast,What an incredible show that must have been

Badass. Amazing. Beautiful band. Great vibe. This is real music. Real performance.

Absolutely beautiful! You can't plan that. The magic of live performance embodied in this one!

Reminds me of Pixies….raw & beautiful!!❤

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this particular moment it was the best experience Upd: special thanks to the video editor for perfectly syncing my hand to the drums at 5:28

Sometimes it just leaves you! Great band Great recovery

When your friends got your back ❤

I'm a little concerned for her - seems like she's hurting. Be well, Adrianne - you are an extraordinary artist and too many have been lost to the intensity. Care.

I absolutely LOVE Adrianne and her band !! I feel their music passing thru my body. Listening to Adrianne's voice is like wrapping myself in a warm blanket. :))

Best band, a truly amazing lady with a great band.

Some 70s/80s Fleetwood Mac live performance energy right here amazing live performance

I get goosebumps every time I watch this.

loving the resemblance of adrianne to elliott smith here

This has to be my favorite. Love the humaness. How beautiful. art.

This song is also basically a riddle so that she can rmeber any of the words is impressive.

ugh i love them so muchhhh more for this. real

Keeping it that tight and coming back from that is so impressive

masterpiece

What a talent, great new music exists and here is the proof.

Thanks for filming this!

Adrianne sounds like Neil Young when she solos. Not technical, all feeling

I love Adrienne oh lord

Not at all offensive but I understand your concern and compassion thank you ❤❤❤ The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows

and that my dears...is EPIC..

This is everything

Ecouter la merveille en symbioses révoltées. En fractions de secondes, l'amour s'accorde sans fin. Parfois il s'étiole sous le sceau des délicatesses promulguées à l'invite enragée. Sans proportion, à nos cordes si vibrantes. A l'échelle des temps statiques ou le dernier baiser à la faconde en pleine révolution. La seule libération est une possibilité existentielle, une probabilité au doux sons de nos circonvolutions rassemblées. Au son du chaos, la charrette avance dans la lande, si odorante, si caillouteuse. L'Ankou va s'empiffrer de ces charognes. quand elles ne crieront plus . Elles n'auront plus de noms aux vibratos inextinguibles. Nos sensations perpétuelles de justice, les premiers frissons décochent nos peaux tiraillées d'apesanteur successives. Sous cris, la clameur de l'accord prés. Un long silence d'accords avant d'envoyer la sauce aux étoiles. Quel est le cri en sourdines d'acceptation. Aux derniers échos susurrés, à la hargne.

That was brilliant!

She also forgot he words to a song when I saw them in Brooklyn. Was so cute

Heerlijk! De rest ook!!

Omg man 😢 this band

i love you for nein you. so real.

Somptueux ! Let's rock !

It’s good to see she’s human. Such a wonderful songwriter and amazing artist. Ultimate respect for her.

der Bass ist geil

Imagine Radiohead having babies with Neil Young and it made Big Thief.

iconic

bonus points for not playbacking.

Komt de rest er ooit nog op?

5:05

Holy shit

If a milqtoast white dude breaks down every time he hears this song.. I can only emotion put into dining this song

hope theyre ok they look real worn out here

Sans cris ni chuchotements.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why The Who used to smash their instruments...

How’s the emotions

Pijnlijk black out kan gebeuren

This would be so good if every instrument was in tune :(

Jezus die basgitaar, dat klinkt niet

First: Tune the guitar.

This band loves each other. You can hear it when they forget the lyrics. You can feel it in the rhythm and flow of the music. Big Thief. Big hearts.

Man you can feel that unconditional love when Buck is encouraging her. The fact that they’re married and divorced makes it more moving. I’m not crying you’re crying

The moment she's ready and start to sing gives me chills

This is actually EXACTLY why I love this band, they are authentic.

JFC that was intense. The fact that she followed the difficult start with the best of all the versions of the solo at the end that I’ve seen is pretty amazing. She definitely went full Neil Young on that one.

I do enjoy the extended intro that ends up happening though.

i was at the front row and honestly my soul left my body hearing this

I was there. It's from the heart rather than the mind. Lovely moment. But scary too if you have to bring up your own lyrics. Well done! I was totally forgotten that moment during that great outro :-)

Showed this to my kids... beautiful learning moment. It's NOT about being perfect. But, as it pertains to music such a cool moment to watch a band rally, and a genius work through the process of connecting with a song. The lyrics seem secondary until she does. And when she does, whoa... goosebumps.

That part from Buck around 9:00 was something I haven't heard before. Such a killer addition.

I mean, she has been doing a lot of songwriting lately, both for Big Thief and her solo project, so it can be totally be understood that this may happen

If anything, this endeared me more to them. Made her human, made her real.

!! Oh god... what was that? I've seen most renditions of 'Not', but none stands at the heights of this one!

last gig i was so afraid of forgetting the lyrics of a new song that instead I forgot the chords of a song that i played a million times... shit happens...

Heel fijn dat jullie deze toch gewoon mogen plaatsen!

#1 rule of playing live music..Always Keep Playing!

I love this band so much!

makes me feel a whole lot better about NEVER remembering the order of these verses lmao

That beautiful moment we wake up and are surrounded by love and support perfect cathartic song to get lost in

I've never seen this band play live before and yet when seeing this, I instantly feel this one is beyond a legendary performance of theirs. So much passion, chivers all over.

Awesome. Great performance. I love this sing and all the extended versions. Such a jam. Great crowd too.

Magistraal, dank 3voor12!

Y’know what, I’m nowhere near this level n this has given me so much confidence that it happens to someone soooo talented 💜

Awesome. I love how real this is.

This is the best rock music moment in my history, and I'm sure for countless others. The greatest expression of humanitarianism I've ever witnessed.

Jesus that was epic. One of my favourite live performances. Beautiful. Big Fucking Thief.

Love her and this Band forever! So raw, so live, so supportive to each other, so touching.

One of the finest Bands I've seen. See them play live if you can, I've been lucky enough to see them three times up to now & hoping to catch them again in the summer. A very Special Band indeed.

My goodness. That SOLO!!!!!!!! It's seriously the best in years!

THIS IS REAL FUCKINTG MUSIC

Keeping it real, I like that. It was worth the wait!!

erg leuk. Ben 75 maar sta altijd open voor Muziek. Behalve House en Rap. Vindt dat echt niks. Dit vindt ik leuk. Indie of niet?

More than just music. Absolutely wonderful!

rad

Mad to love the version where it goes"wrong"

Me dan ganas de ir corriendo a abrazarla y decirle al oído algo bonito ….❤️ para que se acuerde de la letra de su canción…💔

True Love Waits...💋
