Swans - Live @ Teatro Duse (Bologna, IT 2023) 

Seeing this live was utterly insane, those noisy swells of sound seemed capable to crsuh the entire building

I was there, i will tell my children

unlike many other vids, this one actually captures (at least to some extent) the horror of the live show.

Cant wait to see them in Chicago in September!

Seeing them in September. If the show is on this level, it'll be legendary

Michael Gira is a fucking Genius!! He is conducting and storytelling while creating a relentless sonic fury, that can rise and fall with a sweep of his hand! Those sonic swells can split the universe in two! My God…SWANS are BACK!!!

I was in Slovenia for a concert five or six days ago. Totally unbelievable...

🦢🦢🦢 The live is absolutely amazing, brilliant, and fully captures the unique genius of Swans’ music. It’s a powerful experience that evokes strong emotions and reminds me of the mesmerizing music they create

wow. only wish that ending bit was longer, so good

Amazing sound, carries away the soul ❤

SWANS

Thanks

Thank you❤.

I really love the album but I wish it was more like this. I need to see them live

🖤🖤🖤

How dare you interrupt SWANS with ads 🤬

oh, grazie

This is dope

Guys swans are literally back strong. Leaving meaning is by no means bad, but seeing this really raises my excitement about the new swans album

I was there, fucking amazing show

Just came back from a show here in la. My ears rang for more than 5 hours lol. Def louder than boris. Mike gira was telling zoomers while performing to put down their phones😂. He didnt stop the show he just did it while performing it was so funny. Dude also signed autograph and did a little chit chat to the fans. Didnt expect him to do that. Nice dude.

Saw the Swans in the late 80's. A little Goth girl made the mistake of standing right at the PA. 3 songs in, she just vomited. I swear I saw Gira grin as she did it.

I'm telling my kids this was Hanson

Did you filmed BIRTHING? the last track of this tour setlists..

There's something demonic about this performance. Something about the white and blue/red light and the looming darkness in the background, and how it all comes together with the sound, makes it seem like something truly evil is seeping from the band. It's like the world has already ended and this is all that's left. I know Gira probably doesn't want the music to come off as "evil", but that's just the vibe I get from watching this.

Why Gira is sitting? I’ve heard that he fell off the ceiling but is it true?

Is that filmed with a phone? Great quality!!

Grazie per averlo registrato. Peccato che la versione studio non sia così. Non che non sia bella, ma questa qua......fate voi.

What camera are you using to record this?

Correct me if im wrong but they don’t sound as loud as they were before. They still sound amazing though.

Michael is done

This is one of the most tuneless pieces of virtueless shit I have ever witnessed. Staggering. To call this genius is like complementing the Emperor on his fabulous trousers.
