King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

I love how after 3 guitars, 2 drumkits, vocals and harmonica/keyboards you can still hear the bass

I like to imagine that when one drummer stubs his toe, the other feels it.

Drummer's mom: "What did you see on your US tour?" Drummer: "Mostly the other drummer."

0:26 the drummers even drink in sync

This is basically a drum battle with background music

When Stu pulls out the flute you know shit’s going down.

“Their third album” Oh “This year” OHHH

Lucas never gets enough credit. When you can hear his bass clearly in the mix, MAN he's good.

The drummers had to play for 30 min straight in sync with one another in mostly odd time signatures that are constantly changing, and I didn't hear one mistake or even messy part. I don't get it lol.

it must be trippy for the drummers to stare at each other doing the exact same thing for half an hour

Singer: Guys, I wrote 3 new songs Band: Great, another double album.

the mix quality is insane considering how many instruments there are

The KEXP sound dude deserves a serious raise. You guys always nail it with your recordings.

the best gift my son has ever gave me was the sentence " check out King Gizz youll like them " top band

cheryl's honestly my favorite giz member after ambrose

the best choice of my entire life was to start listening to this band

1 - Welcome to an Altered Future 1:27 2 - Digital Black 2:19 3 - Han-Tyumi The Confused Cyborg 5:09 4 - The Lord of Lightning 9:07 5 - Alter Me I 13:06 6 - Altered Beast II/Alter Me II/Altered Beast III 15:42 7 - Alter Me III 21:23 8 - Altered Beast IV 22:23 . I'll see you next time .

Stu throws his guitar around like a wizard casting spells, I love it

Story Time :) - I attended this show. I show up early, which is about 10am. I didn’t want this free show to fill up and not be able to get a spot. I was just getting into these guys, and discovered them at the start of their 2017 run, with FMB, and at this point, SKETCHES just released. I buy a copy of SKETCHES at the LITA record shop in that gathering space, and wait for the show to start. Being only a few months into these guys, I was not familiar with everyones name. As I waited for the show to start, in comes the whole band, bringing in their own gear, and setting up. They quickly set up and start hanging out and interacting with everyone. At this point, I totally felt ‘starstruck’ , and somehow worked up the gaul to ask Joey, who besides Stu was the only name and face I knew then, to introduce me to some of the band members around, which he very kindly did. Jason Galea was even there! It was so cool to be able to chat with those guys for a sec, and even get the record I bought earlier signed by everyone, who were so gracious with their time. They are all really nice chill guys. Then they played and holy hell, was I not expecting MOTU on a weekday morning, but wow was it an amazing show. I wish I could have become a fan from the beginning , but happy that I am on the train now. Those KEXP gathering space shows have been some of the best experiences of my life, tbh.

Cracked symbols, a wizard casting spells with his guitar dips, flute, harmonica, another drummer, insane bassist, incredible sound mixing. I want a one way ticket to the King Gizzard feast. LET US FEAST ON GIZZARDS and reign in rock heaven.

stu is one talented iguana

Well, this band is so good. They have Ryan Gosling, two drummers and their bananas are flying.

Am I the only one who always loves a Stu "Yep"?

Man's on the harmonica is the nastiest guy alive. Best rock music I've heard in years

Those cymbals are scarred war heroes and yet still they stand in the line of fire...respect

Welcome to an Altered Future 1:27 Digital Black 2:19 Han-Tyumi The Confused Cyborg 5:09 The Lord of Lightning 9:07 Alter Me I 13:06 Altered Beast II/Alter Me II/Altered Beast III 15:42 Alter Me III 21:23 Altered Beast IV 22:23

The Stu shrug and "eyup" at 13:10 is my favorite Stu "eyup."

I love how all the band members look like they have absolutely no clue what they're doing, yet still produce this incredible peice.

Anyone who says guitar is dead, or rock is dead, really needs to see and hear this.

I neglected this band for so long because of their goofy name. Joke was on me. Incredible stuff.

Those two drummers are tight as fk.

For sure my favorite new band, right after Goose. At 70 years of age, I was never a huge fan of metal, but they do it pretty damn good. And that's it, they take metal and add a touch of psychedelia to it. I think they add that touch to everything they do, and I think they can do anything they want to do.

its about time, almost 3 hours without new king gizz content

This makes me believe in the future of rock music

Buff Corell finally covered Rattlesnake and the world needs to know. That is all.

I came for the unique name. I stayed for the unique music. 2 synchronous and impressive drummers, 3 guitars (one being a double/12 string electric), audible bass, flute, keyboards/soundboards, singing, harmonica, (I'm probably missing something) and it's all so well balanced. At no point did I feel like any of their myriad of flowing elements become domineering. It all just works together. I'm stunned by how much each band member is in charge of doing. It's so dynamic that it's hard to keep track of everything and you just kind of get sucked in. I don't usually critique/pick apart music like this, but you've just gained a fan!

FLUTE SOLOOOO

I've never seen trippy music performed live like this, shit is fascinating bro

Sucks to see Eric leave King Gizzard, at least he’s focusing solely on Flightless Records. Cheers to our favorite second drummer!!!

A Guitarist: Hey I'd like to join your band. Band: Awesome! What do you play? A Guitarist: Guitar. And I'm really good. Band: Man, that's great. What else? A Guitarist: What do you mean? Band: What else do you play? A Guitarist: I play the guitar... Band: Got it. What other 4 instruments do you play?

I like how they play the album backwards. Han-tyumi, lord of lightning, then Altered Beast

This is my first time hearing this band and I was alarmed at how much I loved it immediately.

Heard the name before, not listened. It popped up on feed thought I would leave it on, five minutes later they are thanking the audience, except it's nearly half an hour later ... damn, they're good ! They bent time in my brain.

5 years later i've watched this vid a million times.. im amazed everytime.. this set is so hard to perform, feels nonhuman to nail it that much.. their best live performance on the internet for me

0:26 the drummers are so in sync at all times

EYYUUUUUUPPP

Ever start laughing during a song because they're just hitting levels of amazing that blow you away? Yeah. Several times for me during this.

Imagine having a band with two drummers who both have the fastest single stroke rolls on the planet

16:50, I stubbed my toe this morning, I sounded just like this.

Only 10 days going in 2018 and this has already been KEXP's performance of the year

I have a theory about Aussie bands. As a country, Australia is so separated from the rest of the world that it absorbs styles from all parts of the world and makes its' own amalgamation. I just started listening to KG&TLW a couple weeks ago, and every release is completely different from the former. I love the microtonal stuff. They are on their own plane, nobody even close to them. The best relation I can make is early King Crimson with Robert Fripp. Sufficiently weird and captivating. A welcome diversion for me these past couple weeks - given the state of the world, and having lost my best friend from high school last week. I can't wait to dive into all of this band's stuff.

This performance will age like a fine wine.

I keep coming back to this over and over again, I’ve seen these guys live and this is quite possibly one of the tightest sets I’ve ever seen in my life, extraordinary.... love the new album too, fucking incredible band

This is the first time I’ve seen Lucas move around and jam on stage. Pleasant surprise

I actually love how these songs sound here way more than the album. I always come back to this video.

Creatively, this band is unstoppable.

Looking forward to the Murder of the Universe broadway musical.

1:27 Welcome to an Altered Future/Digital Black 5:11 Han Tyumi, the confused cyborg 8:24 The Lord of Lightning (Well it's like the reticient raconteur but whatever) 13:10 Altered Beast Suite

so im listening to this every single day

My neighbors love it so much they’re banging on my walls!🤘🏽

I love you, Cheryl

the two drum kit face to face combo is absolutely mind-blowing to me

just had my face time-signature'd off

this band just changed my life.

this is insane. this is real composition.

I come back like once a week for this

Unable to listen to the studio versions after watching this masterpiece...

i listened to this set so many times that i even could join in all the voices of the audience :D

WELCOME TO AN ALTERED FUTURE. Di Gi Tal..... BWOWKWOWIWOWOWOWOJWWKWOWOSI

I love how they take Han-Tyumi the confused Cyborg seriously and play it on one of the most popular channels KEXP. Despite having much better/attractive songs to play , they still choose their art over fans favorites which makes me love King Gizzard more😍

These dudes exude talent and musicianship. We are some lucky mother fathers to experience such incredible music in our time. King Gizzard forever!

They have this infectious, never ending rhythm. It gets under your skin and takes you over.

“Their third album to come out this year, MOTU.” I love Cheryl.

I want a biopic about the 2 two drummers and how they became mirrors and lovers

This is the video that sold me on King Gizzard six years ago

the narration would make this set epic

whoever mixed this is great

It’s like they gave The War On Drugs, some drugs.

This is the performance that got me into King Gizz. One day in 2016 or maybe 2015 my friend showed me The River, and it instantly became one of my favorite songs-I was into 60s and early 70s hippie music at that time-but I fell into the trap of expecting all their music to be like that, so I was disappointed by their other stuff when I initially heard it. I would listen to The River fairly often, but absolutely nothing else from them. But then one day in 2017 I saw this in my recommended videos, and I was intrigued by the thumbnail of Stu holding the guitar up high on his chest, so I clicked on it and was blown away by how epic it is; it's a nice blend of punk and metal with elements of krautrock, plus of course the random awesomeness that King Gizz likes to throw in-flute, harmonica played in a hard rock style, 2 drummers-which somehow flows naturally and doesn't sound forced at all! And, at times, it also reminds me of a punk band which used to be one of my favorites back in my teens when I was into punk and metal: Rudimentary Peni. After that, I had a more appreciative ear for King Gizz's style.

Phenomenal sound quality. Sounds as crisp as a studio recording.

Yes Ambrose, the music does strange things to me as well

Seeing Altered Beast IV live (in the flesh) makes me a violent person

i like how relentless these guys were by continuing to their next song and unto the next.

The future of Rock n Roll is down under.

17 guys in the band, not one missed beat. Tight!

lead singer is a wild cat! LOL

I miss you already eric

One of their best live performances ever! Not easy!

This band is gonna be huge.

drummer also starred in life aquatic with steve zissou

the most band in our era.

bruh I watch this like once a month and I am never not blown the FUCK away by their musical abilities. good god.

Woah, at 24:50, are the drummers alternating hihat 8th notes!? Thats really sick!! This is all really cool!

my longest yeeee boi ever.mov

this vid ages like wine

I am an all-turd beast

Illusion confusion lost humans... Stu couldnt have said it better!

King Gizz paving the way for music

6 years later, still holds up as their best KEXP performance

long live king gizzard and the lizard wizard
