Thievery Corporation - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Thank you

Thanks

Thanks!!

¡Gracias! Great band

Your the bestestest

@ape kaspank You have no idea what you're talking about. Not to mention there is more going on here than a " digital drumbeat" It's as if you didn't even watch the performance lol

Always! KEXP and NPR Tiny Desks - superior audio quality🤠

Always is with kexp, they have an amazing sound engineer.

@ape kaspank dude, what? There is nothing here to defend or "debate"

@ape kaspank Lmfao

And in the UK. I mean really underrated because they've had very little of their music hit the UK charts. This performance is amazing and my favourite is probably "Culture Of Fear". I remember years ago I was in a record shop just browsing and "The Mirror Conspiracy" album was playing. It wasn't really the kind of music I was listening to at the time but I remember I was blown away by it, and I just had to buy it.

Let's just say, in the world. But again, they're genuine, unlike those who signed their soul to the record companies.

My man on the percussion is not behind

That dude is a whole vibe.

i don't know him but i want his life

he sometimes performs completely naked (seriously, google it)

I never wanted to be friends with someone so bad until I saw him.

Saw these guys in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago. You should see the bassist with an entire stage to work with

I know right, he loves playing that thing

like 100 hundred yay!

Mine too! I'm watching these songs every night, with good headphones to feel the bass...

The bassist does't feel the groove. The groove feels HIM.

this is almost 20 years old.... imagine what else you can find.

8 years old

Me too. I stumbled across ‘no more disguise’ and now I’m hear just blown away at the diversity of the music. I am in love. Such artistic authenticity. It’s made my day for sure.

@@AG-wg1mt I jammed all their music while restoring my old boat trailer and felt like I went to a music fest!. Kinda looking forward to my hour commute to work today :- )

Totally get that. I feel that I landed on a new planet. Nothing is going to be as challenging with their energy in my ears. Bliss.

Lol you are fresh ☺️ welcome 🤗

Little late to the party, eh?

The booger flick trick wasn’t called for 24:10

In some way looks like bass player from Metallica and though they both do it great!

He’s always barefoot

@@Tallturkimagine being so uptight that you care about something so little lol

@@ivanvakar1195i can sorta see what you are saying. but metallica bass player is of mexican and native american descent. thievery bass player's parents are from india. i used to see them often a decade ago and they always started the show with this first instrumental song and it featured him jamming around the whole stage in a suit and barefoot. very fun.

hell yeah :)

the only problem it is that he forgot to turn the volume on!!!!

Luís Rodrigues Exactly! I thought I was the only one thinking he was playing sub-sonic notes...

incredible!!!!

The bass volume is fine. Did you use headphones?

Well said. Thank you.

Yeah, it's a shame channels like these are so buried within RU-vid 'recommended video' algorithms.

Maybe I'm too critical, but this host is special- really.

Preach brother

Totally agree. A KEXP session has kind of become an unofficial seal of approval for the quality of a band.

They're beyond AMAZING

same. they added just enough electric clips to make it seem like they were. which was the popular thing at the time so makes sense. they have alot of other good songs.

Me too 😆

Thought the same about Air, until I saw the live. Love them both!

They're really amazing live too!

What else are y’all listening to

Vonn Boyd@@Jungloasis

Man!! That sitar gets into your bones. I was lucky enough to see them in vancouver years ago! It was the Best gig that I was ever at when it came to the vibes of the crowd! the band sounded like they were playing off a different frequency

​@@Jungloasisa Lotta other weird stuff 😂

Yes Mon ❤❤❤

love this band. would love to see them in belgium once upon a time.

I do that also and it drives me crazy

Me too -- newbie. But it's not too late for TC. Their entire catalog is on Qobuz in high-res FLAC files, and they're playing all over. I've got tickets to see them at the Newport Jazz Fest this summer.

Don't forget Pam Bricker, the voice behind "Lebanese Blonde" who sadly committed suicide.

🖤

💚💚

@@ProximaCentauri88 thank you, she was a beautiful soul, RIP

Fly indeed!

the separation of all the individual instruments that I can still hear distinctly in my shitty car stereo… god’s work

not sure if you guys know the studio albums, the performance, the recording and the mix are all pretty bad, at some point the male singer frankly out of tune. Sound us muffled, balance is bad. Not sure how you can say the mix is "gods work", its electronic music with just two singers, about the easiest thing to mix v, a live like that (in a small room, with no battery or live instruments) should sound same as the album, assuming the performance and recordings are decent, which is not the case here.

@@lo2740 you got it. Also, they're all playing under the recorded, mixed track on the album. That's why everyone is praising the sound engineering. Because it's the album first and foremost you're hearing, then these guys in the studio waaay under. The vocals are live, however.

Got all their albums: Their music production is awesome! They are on the top three of my favourite bands Ever; with Massive Attack and Pink Floyd

You probably liked them when you heard Oceans 11!

Hope you got to see them live!

Could be worse...you could've JUST found this beautifulness today!🥴😂

I think you'd dig Vir McCoy if you like TCorp ✌🏽

thank you man !!

¡gracias!

nice one

Thanks so much! :D This set is making my day!

thank you!

You're lucky! What a combination you saw!!! ❤️

GOAT tier line up. If Portishead and Morcheeba were there it'd be an ultimate trip hop concert

Would love to hear that show.

Me too! Thievery Co. Back to back with Massive Attack, at Moogfest in Asheville 2011.. only problem was I drank a 40oz stiff Redbull-Vodka and dipped some Molly when we got in, I remember dancing, lights, great music, however, and unfortunately the whole show exists mostly as a psychedelic blur, and I barely remember it. :(

You saw them with Zero 7???? Whaaaaat!

Damn straight. I’m Lebanese and love world music. Thievery Corp is a GOAT

Same, absolutely perfect

Thievery Corporation are timeless. All their music ages like wine, not bread

very good fusion i cant explain my feeling when i listen to this guys, even im a music lover, like i'm listen music for 20 years, and their records always surprise me

Even now? Was there some kind of a musical revolution in the four years since this happened?

@@maceosikes perhaps yes

so true, the bassist has a truly unique energy that I want more of

that bassline!!

Mr. Hannachi, then we probably doubbled the view count just ourself !

Yes! for sure We did

open.spotify.com/track/7ymHY93Sgtdh5saUmoA10d?si=KmHUPMK1Tz2fk1zrM-2fkQ

Yes!

The one word I got when reading your listed bands was 'artistry'. That word could be used to descibe each of those groups. You can tell it meant something to them other than money. Relevant then, revelant 10 years ago, and if dropped today... any of those bands hits would top charts and sell out venues as they did 25 yrs ago. Portishead was Lo-Fi before Lo-Fi was Lo-Fi

I found them all and so much more back then on Audiogalaxy RIP

@@trisha1434 iiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiio iiio iiioi iio ii

You forgot tricky in that list of big trip hop artists.

אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!!!

Tout y est! Une profondeur et une variété sans pareil

of course I'm chair dancing

as am i

Pretending not to...but, I mean...ADMIT IT!

Caroline - that is hilarious! I feel ya!

How can I find you on FB!? :D

Had the pleasure of listening to thievery corporation live in Richmond VA. Fantastic show. An amazing group of people.

William L ópez Méndez ,

what is the dj for?

was? IS !

Finally some light for you in 2020.

i kind of envy your experience :} be safe, have fun

It's never too late!!

They don’t mention it, but being a DC band definitely lends to that- it’s one of the most diverse US cities and is such an incredible cultural mix swirling in the DMV region

Nice to see Shpongle mentioned! I wouldn't consider them trip hop/Bristol sound like Massive Attack and Portishead though - that'd be Morcheeba/Zero 7/U. N. K. L. E. if you haven't heard their stuff yet :) :)

@@diogeneslantern18 I never said that Sphongle were part of the Bristol sound. All I said was that I heard them around the same time as Massive Attack and Portishead. In fact, I never even said they are trip hop...But thanks for playing.

@@stevious7278 I knew you'd take offence but I didn't have the heart to edit my comment, and behold you fell for it hook, line, and sinker lol.

@@diogeneslantern18 Mate, you don't know me from a bar of soap because if you did you would know that I am not easily offended. I didn't find your comment offensive; quite the opposite. I was astounded by your stupidity, and continue to be considering your lame attempt at covering your idiocy. You may find that attempt at humour (I'm assuming that's what you believe it to be) works with those with an I.Q that matches their shoe size; but keep working at it. One day you may be able to entertain pre-school children... Have a nice day licking windows. lol.

Rolando dcd yes!

compared to who ? If to follow your logic, I'm the best in the world and you are useless.

Music isn't even real anymore :(

Pizzadoboz I know

Me too

Very similar story for me! Watching this music every night now.

Hi Frank. Yes, the video is worthwhile watching many times. Thievery is unreal and the KEXP host was really excellent. Definitely good vibes all around. So chill, so creative.

Thanks for this info man! They should add this to the video caption

Where is Eric? Can't see him anywhere :(

and PUMA PTAH my friend..

Is Sleepy Wonder the guy who can't sing on key?

TY for info. Great performers.

I prefer the older stuff and was pleasantly surprised with the song selection.

daveother guy in white shirt?

awesome me

I'm surprised Fugazi was mentioned...

i never heard they singing in portuguese, in videos, just audios

@@kbessaum hahaha, eso es francés, Amigo, no portugués.

Read my phrase again dear

same...love them even more now. respect

We were all produced by tweaking knobs.

Gem of a reply!

SAME.

I've got about 5 of their albums and thought the same too. In fact I thought they were French - had no idea they were American!
