CYNIC BERKELEY SQUARE, BERKELEY 6.25.94 3CAM FULL SET 

Simply magical, in my opinion ’Focus’ is still amongst one of the greatest albums ever made.

Surreal watching this and seeing the 18 year old version of myself in the audience. Good times :)

Death metal, Jazz fusion, progressive, technical, crazy weird robot vocals from the year 2374, drums off to the side with Sean's hair in a plat and a towel around his neck, non metal fashion, a girl controlling Pauls vocorder with a keyboard and growling, headless guitars, 5 string fretless bass, trippy lyric themes. Cynic is one of the most creative bands ever to exist, we're lucky to have this amazing recording. The world wasn't ready for them in 94 and still isn't now for the most part, that's how futuristic this band is!

The thing with cynic is that this sounds cutting edge to this day. But it also sounds analogue and real and, incredibly, better than the album

How badass this! Youngsters at the helm of fusion-metal WOW! In memoriam Malone + Reinert

God these guys were and are fucking amazing. 🤘🤘🤘 R.IP. Malone and Reinert.

Dude this band is so fucking good live here, I can't help but laugh watching this. Incredible.

THE WORLD IS STILL NOT READY FOR CYNIC. LIGHTYEARS BEYOND OUR TIME. GODBLESS PAUL, PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS.

Imagine hearing this live for the first time back then? Alien.

Thinking that this album was recorded when they were, like, 21/22 years old...

one of the best footage of old CYNICs perfomance. I love it...

10:30 "This is death metal and jazz". That line never gets old.

from the beginning, everyone knew there was something really special going on with Cynic and their music/performances. Focus is the definition of undisputed masterpiece, and performances like this one really capture the unique atmosphere of that album, where cosmic energy meets organic bliss.

Damn, keyboardist has amazing growls.

Wow, to witness this in person must have been... something else entirely. One of a kind.

Holy fucking shit, this is unbelievably amazing. Hearing "The Eagle Nature" ending with all the original samples live is unreal

One of the absolute greatest Cynic performances. And they were ALL great.

I heard that Cannibal fans were NOT having any of Cynic, throwing stuff at them on a nightly basis. But kudos to Cannibal for taking them on tour. George and Alex are the nicest ppl ever.

Love Jason's smile as he's nailing the How Could I solo at 37:52, love this band so much. RIP Sean & Sean and thanks for the upload. This 3 cam footage is awesome.

Most underrated band,

10:21 LOVE this so much. Everyone is one Fire, as usual, but especially Jason just RIPPING through that wild arpeggio section, and Master Sean Malone REALLY feeling it, and you can tell by the expression on his face. You NEVER see him doing that. SO much Passion for Music being shared with this footage, it's palpable. CYNIC FOREVER!🙏❤‍🔥🙌🌎

This is amazing, very grateful for you taking the time to do this. Thank you.

Cant believe i just discovered this band. Probably because ive never been into Death Metal. But Chuck is an exception

I remember when this came out. It seemed like such a natural progression in heavy music.

Outstanding.

I was at one of the shows on this tour. We couldn't believe it when Dana belted out those crushing death vocals! So many memories. We were there for Cynic, but CC was pretty cool too. Jason was walking around after the show and I freaked out talking to him. I don't think he could believe what an idiot I was...haha. We all thought Cynic was going to be the next Metallica. This show was killer. I don't know why the snowball didn't keep rolling.

Way ahead of their time, revolutionary

Fucking awesome. They had brought some intelligence and specific charme to US DM scene

19:28 The last vestige of death metal in this band...

Thank you for this awesome video Jesse.

this is nuts!!! i've watched the boot religiously back in the day. now, with 3 cams, it's nothing but a treat! thank you so much!

Man, they killed it here. They should be proud.

I saw part of this footage back in like 98-99 great to finally see the whole thing. They are friggin booking it

How could I!!!

Amazing performance! Great times!🤘

Outstanding sharing ! Incredible video quality ! Thanks so much from France....

Legendary performance. Cynic 🤘

15:00 MAESTRO! 🙏❤‍🩹🙌

Amazing. Thank you!

Beautiful !!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Now I have seen the 3 cam, super groovy, thanks :)

Thanks a lot for sharing this footage! Have a good day sir!

This gives me chills! Absolutely amazing!

Was this the tour with Cannibal Corpse and Sinister? All that talk about Cynic getting trashed by the fans was bullsh*t. If anything the crowd seemd to enjoy them from the cheers and claps in between song. Most of my metal head friends also liked them back in 93 when Focus came out.

Beautiful recording. Thank you for uploading it.

Fvkng awesome!

Good Job!

Lovely, thanks for posting. Just like to know who thought it was a good idea that Cynic went out with Cannibal Corpse!? Anyways, unreal to see actual footage!

Ethereal

Best new year's present ever, but please change both Sean's surnames to correct spelling (Reinert and Malone)! Thanks for the upload

What happenned to that woman on vocals Dana Cosley?

Someone knows wich vocoder is Paul using here?

They kinda remind me of Voi-vod, Death, Carcass & Trouble, if they had a love child, ala, Rosemaries Baby/Charley Manson. Too Dark?

One of the all time best Florida bands and that’s saying a lot.

Its like death metal tool.
