Chet Faker performing "1998" Live on KCRW 

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

what separates professional from amateur musicians is not the abilitiy to never make mistakes, but the ability to recover and not give a shit.

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 actually like the mistake alot, it gave the song a sort of bridge for the intro...

He looks like he's having so much fun! Good on him. Chet faker, 1998

Even though he messed up, he still brought it back like a boss!

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

Chet Faker brings nothing but good memories from NOS Alive.

Absolutely impressive! And people still think performing with "true" musical instruments is "harder" than producing music

This is what being a dj should be

such good many midi very voice much awesome...

My favourite song. Amazing 💣💥

This is really cool I've never seen someone DJ this interactively before. Dude's got mad talent

Haha, I love watching him dance! Especially performing live.

so FUCKING smooth my god gotta love him

This is so fucking amazing. Literally mind blown how good Chet is..

haha woooops he messed up at 0:52 lol. nice recovery!!!

Beautiful vibe

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 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.

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.

2020 Lets go baby

The important thing is that he's having fun not caring about his mistakes. So proud of Chet!

🎃 2022 and still enjoying this!

Makes me happy

That audio quality is beautiful.. lifts an average Chet Faker song up levels.

Nice, very nice. Appreciate the deliverance of this.

It's 2018 and Built On Glass is still my favorite album

That song makes me feel some kinda wayyyyyyy man

Hipsters make the best music.

When he starts playing that keyboard and the sound that comes out makes me feel some type of way.

Handsome and talented :3

Miss you Chet!

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)

sooo sick!

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

Very nice!

Any chance this could be released on spotify? Love this version!

So cute! Dance it up Chet! Love you xxx

I actually have never heard the song before, and realized there is a mistake at the beginning after viewing the comments

Still hoping that someone upload this versión on spotfy
