The guy enters the stage with pressure level below 0 and plays instantly in the pocket without any pressure or tension like nobody was expecting him :) Well yes I know he's a pro for billion years and one of the greatest drummer of all time but still...
Alex T So true! dude, they performed in Kufstein (20k population), Austria at a local, very small venue last year - basically one big room with only like about a 50 ppl. no idea how they got Nerve to play here 🤷🏻♂️ anyways, in order to get to the room and therefore stage you entered the bar first - so everyone was already at the bar when the. JoJo would walk in with a beer in his hand and same outfit as here, asking me casually in German if i‘d know where the stage is. hobestly, that dude‘s vibe was the most chilled I have ever witnessed. NOT exaggerating!
Their A38 Ship performance from 2018 was also recently posted on RU-vid. They use a lot of the same themes in that performance, but the arrangement is better and the execution is tighter. I would recommend watching that one if you liked this video.
sound and set is superb as always. too bad it's in daylight and without the colorful atmosphere of proper lighting, it needs. Stage performance looks so naked... but playing out in fresh air is always good and the mood is still there :)
"In the pocket" is an old jazz term that this techno style music exemplifies. It basically means perfectly in synch. Jojo, in this case IS the pocket- like a flawless human metronome. 25:00 WTF! - THAT was not human- Jojo's a bot! What he can do with his right foot on that bass drum pedal is just not human.
If you check out Nerve's performance at A38 from a couple years ago, I commented the setlist. Both shows were from the same year and the setlists are very similar. Most of the songs are on Ghosts of Tomorrow and Nerve. Some of the songs are improv though
