Tim Minchin - Dark Side (Awesome Version) 

I agree jackster. He is an absolute genius.

Yeah. Like how often have I watched his videos here and have nobody to talk to about it on the bus to church? :) Comedy set to music so good it's stuck in your head all the time = legendary.

xamzax watching it while your going to church is classic😂

Too late you have ! but i agree he’s extremely talented individual no doubt about it

I agree..., and I have just learned about him very recently. He is truly amazing, indeed!

That's after a 2 hour show? Jesus

he really worked himself into a froth in the daddy never came tangent too.

He is not human. No human could be as talented as he is.

Wouldn't the whole show be a solo?

Also, plays bare-footed like Kate Bush 😀

Just a quick note, he does actually play a bar of Rachmaninov in there at 7:55 just before he smashes the keys. It's from Prelude in C# Minor, which, incidentally, I played as a teen =P

Me, as a teen: “I Can play dark side, YIPPEE!”

hahahaaaa

Was that a ginger joke? Oh crap no I cant say that word no Im sorry ple-

There's a key difference. "Play" and "play like"

This is wholesome

I wish I could have seen that, bet it was an epic moment

I'm a Sound Engineer- no compliments just complaints.

@@formerdwarf426 Hey, you knew what You were getting yourself into. If you're doing everything right, we shouldn't be sure you did anything at all. Besides, I don't think you got into sound mixing for the fame. Though, it was probably for all the chicks.

6:27 I think he looked up and smiled at the LD lmao

Better than half the musicians out there that "appeal to the teenage market"

@Harry Ashley Half? Teenage market? Try "Better than 99% of the musicians out there, PERIOD"

Nah he’s just a rock and roll nerd

He’s got the look as well

Shimeeka yeah all he ever wanted to be was a rockstar on mtv

Just as I was thinking that he said it.

The audience is not clapping in tune with him, which is probably incredibly offputting

The minute of that?

White people.

its near 4:40 :)

Charlie Pekin Have you heard F sharp? It's the clearest example of what you're saying, imo

Tenacious D

Man

As soon as he said in the key of C# Minor I thought "Oh like Moonlight sonata" he then proceeds to start playing moonlight sonata as part of the verse, genius.

@@sammy135_ Me too LOL

I'm assuming you're referring to the clapping in time to the music that starts shortly into the piano interlude. The interlude I'm referring to starts 4 min 30 sec into the video clip. What does he say that shuts them down so quickly? I can't tell. Thanks.

@@scottkessler3173 He says "Oh, you're off beat. Wicked!"

@@psychoticmortacarn Thank you! It was making me crazy trying to figure it out.

And the second time they start clapping, off beat, he turns to face them a little bit, and starts stomping his foot in a pretty exaggerated way, so that they all have a visual cue to sink their clapping to! And it works! Don't think I've ever seen that before. A large group of white people trying to clap in time never works, but I've never seen the person on stage basically say "Hey you twats, if you have to clap, watch me!" and lead the whole audience.

I love that clapping! It may be off beat, but that’s what makes it special. When did you heard about clapping like that? Almost never!

Everybody loves a pianist, but length must have it's limits.

woah there

Alexei Gregory Everyone loves a pianist, but length must have a limit.

When I asked the Genie for an twelve inch penis I got Tim Minchin.

Deep as, bro.

Yeh I noticed that too

Shit yeah.

YouSirHaveJustBeenShayed No...you fucking ruined it.

#deep

That tiny little bit was absolutely wonderful. Just a few notes, so incredibly recognizable and then it was gone. Just delightful

he also plays a bit of flight of the bumblebee I think

@@Ghostwalker98 I started expecting it so he probably did.

And "Jeremy spoke in..."

7:29 for the funny fur elise bit.

He also kicks the piano at 12:54 for the extra "umph".

Haha that is awesome!

That's guy's really deep !

@@jeremieherard2166 Deep as, bro.

Fucka wooo!

best comment lmfao

Nice one

Checkmate, religious fanatics!

Just to make sure I have it right (and I apologise I'm one sip a way through a bottle and 2 cones short a quarter) but are you saying love without evidence from the other party? Need to clarify because I know I love her but she doesn't know she loves me yet

Stalking without evidence is just lots of “coincidental meetings”

Tetrachromia and?

Michael Fajgman And nothing. It's a great song.

The Olympics are just an excuse for countries to flex their athletic chops.

I know! Unbelievable right?! I didn’t realize how truly good a musician he was until seeing this.

That's good enough for me. :-)

Great imagery!

I went to the same show and it was amazing

SIGN ME UP :D

yep

indeed

ill trade my soul to join

ill trade my D

Yeah, hes a genius! Im with you~!

Seriously. I'm always reluctant to engage in a standing ovation when I don't think it's completely deserved (cos I'm an arsehole I guess) but holy shit, I would have been the first one on my feet at the end of this.

It’s a cultural thing. Standing ovations are very rare in Australia. Artists get a round of applause and maybe a second round if they come back on quickly but that’s it. They’d better not milk that second round of applause or they’ll find themselves walking off in silence. I’ve seen that more than once.

Tim Nailed it.. it's a cultural thing, american Audiences go out expecting to have a good time, aussies (and I mean this in all due respect, as I am one) go out and will sit there with a "Go on, entertain me"

In Australia, you only stand if you really, REALLY absolutely from the bottom of your heart mean it, because if you stand and clap, the person behind you will jab you in the back and tell you to sit down so they can see! The rule is, unless you are prepared to tell them to get fucked, you're busy cheering, or it's the END OF THE WHOLE CONCERT you arent going to stand.

Not to mention the emotional ride throughout.

He is Jesus.

Make sure you check out his musicals too!!

Same here. How us it that ive not seen this man before?

Me too! I can’t believe that I don’t know him. Random RU-vid pop up and omg!

Same!!!

Same

ExordiumPlayz -CS:GO, Gmod and More! Who let that Australian in here?

Serenity XD

Definitely, just wish people didn't feel compelled to FUCKING CLAP ALONG.

+Abbie Robinson i swear to god no offense but literally every live concert i watch online or live at random intervals people clap, it has to be the most annoying thing on earth because it seems the people clapping are oblivious to the fact there is a SHOW ON, even then they can clap all they want but i swear it pisses me off even MORE when they STOP. because not only does it make them seem the biggest fool of the flock it also just show what they did even worse, its practically HIGHLIGHTING the damn people for clapping like idiots, realizing their mistake, losing the determination, stop clapping, and look literally like fools. i swear the people who start this clapping deserve to have a spotlight put on them as they realize their obnoxiousness and stop clapping. even then they NEVER learn, i bet you these fuckers go to multiple concerts and just fucking clap every time. even worse is when a whole group of fuckwits decide to start a mini FUCKING PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND DROWN THE GOD DAMN ARTISTS OUT.

+Abbie Robinson Agreed! In this case I love Tim's comment about it ("Ah yeah, offbeat - wicked") which actually seems to help a bit. What really pisses me off is people clapping as soon as there's a "soft" part in a song, I swear I've never wanted to obliterate people as much as when I went to see Opeth and people clapped like their lives depended on it during every single "soft" part.

+Abbie Robinson Disagree, the clapping DEFINITELY made this performance better, and it was short and sweet.

read this comment as he got to it lol

I don’t think he was taught

He’s just an one of those rare examples of someone doing exactly what the universe meant for him to be doing.

tim is self taught

Self-taught to my understanding.

He isn't a God, HE IS GOD!

Andrew McLean deep as...

Yeah I noticed that too, aye.

Yeah, he's really deep. Man.

magyar nep

Shit yea

It wasn't for clapping out of time per se, it was for clapping on the offbeat. It just makes it a little harder to follow the beat if you're not expecting it.

@@AlmostAnimixers thank you! it was not off rhythm, it was off beat. if he's playing 4:4 and they're clapping on the twos and fours, its not out of time! its just on the off beat. too many people confuse and conflate these things. 289 people need to take back their likes of something they can't possibly like, as they don't understand it at all.

@@TrapperC2112 that was very interesting to learn

Audience didn't mean to clap on the offbeat, they were just out of time from the get go and happened to be on the off for enough time to sound like they meant it. Clap coils back to the on beat by the end of that wee bit.

@@TrapperC2112 The point was it still sounded retarded... that's why Tim said something. And if you can't read the sarcasm in the 'wicked' remark go back and take one look at his face. 4:47

Very impressive indeed his piano is phenomenal

I genuinely didn’t believe you. I really thought he had been classically trained. Insane stuff.

@@heysimone me too, his technique has lots of hallmarks of being classically trained - strong arch hand shape, level wrist and curved strong fingers with the right balance of stability, suppleness and flexibility. He must’ve carefully and diligently observed top pianists

@@sacrilegiousboi978 Tim’s interviews are very interesting. He speaks of his 3 years of very basic piano lessons as a child, which he said he wasn’t very good at. Quite a bit of variety about his life in different interviews - very interesting, down to earth intelligent man indeed. He can be hysterically funny or quite serious. A lovely family man.

I love Bo Burnham, he’s a great comedian, but he just doesn’t have the same level of musical talent that Tim Minchin displays. It’d be like watching Usain bolt race the winner of highschool sports day race

Sam Cooper I think bo's the better lyricist between the two, and he's no slouch musically himself. Just because he writes simple music doesn't mean he's a simple musician

Ryan Alexander Music i never said he was. I fully agree that he's an excellent musician and i might even have agreed with regards to his lyrical superiority if it werent for Minchin's Thank You God which i believe is better written than any of Bo Burnham's songs I've seen. I find Bo Burnham funnier overall though, i laugh alot more watching his shows.

I think they're styles are different enough to make it weird if they collaborated

What about stephen lynch

4:35

Thank you

literally laughed out loud. i am in love

Love how they all stop clapping immediately

@@melissabailey789 They feel the shame

Amen! (Not magically or mystically lol)

He is Jesus... just think about it...

Ragnokos Holy moly, did not even notice that the quality wasn't bad :D

Gaiden Shinji I’m confused to your comment

I'm confused about my comment.

@@denisdenak why are you confused? just dont be confused

@TILTED Phoenix This is all very confusing

He certainly found his inner Eddie Vedder.

The beginning of the song sounds almost exactly like a Linkin Park song from Hybrid Theory

​@@phoenixrussell8304he beginning is Linkin Park lol

And a pretty good actor. I just finished watching the series Upright and I loved it.

@@kellydalstok8900 and director and poet. He could be famous at about 5 different things individually.

Get lessons if you can, it's definitely worth it. People like Tim are a rare exception, being self-taught is a bragging right for sure but getting the best teacher you can will improve your playing so much more than just being self-taught, and it's never too late to learn more.

And, maybe a bit of Flight of the Bumblebee too

+Aania Naseer HEY, IT'S YOU AGAIN

IT’S YOU OH MY GOD

So you’re a fan of Jacksfilms, Bo Burnham, AND Tim Minchin? I’m beginning to like you very much

SAME :D

+Aania Naseer Get a room you two. :)

I think it was hillarious, there's no reason for you to hate it. it's a comedy which was empowered by the clueless audience, tim is the first one who would admit it.

I think you and I are saying the same thing

Wait when did he say that? I think I missed it.

Sheng-Yuan Music 4:45

being off beat does NOT mean being out of rhythm. playing off beat is not unusual for whole bars, or even entire songs, and for any percussionist worth their weight, is very important. its how the rest of the band can be in 4:4 while the drums are going off in 7:8, and you don't even realize you're hearing two time signatures. but i reckon if you can't tell when a clap is off beat vs not in rhythm, then you'd never realize you're hearing two time signatures.

Does your long-buried musical self appeal to the teenage market?

Docktor Jim Judging from my oh-so tortured soul, I should probably appeal well enough. I'd rather use my music to tackle world poverty though.

Harry Silver Hmm. Have you seen "Fuck the Poor" by Tim Minchin?

I don't _really_ give two shits about some kids in Bangalore; why do you ask?

Harry Silver Make sure you add some minor chords to make it sound more compassionate.

Agrreed.👍

Tim's great in the series Upright fabulous show

+TinyPerson456 HAHAHAHA

I can only hope you went on to discover Tim's other great work. Storm being one of them (the live version). That's another 9 minutes well spent.

Tim is already an accomplished actor, he's been in several shows!

What a wholesale comment!

@@joyeboye_ I couldn't help myself...Tim really has got that something special!

Holy Christ that’s sick

so CLEAN

It's just pure distilled genius, mesmerising and wonderful

@@kcinstic3012 CLEAN as, bro.

+2 years in a pademic, i think we've reached the bottom

@@douglasdemiranda721 I'm just finding this guy this very night

@@douglasdemiranda721 putin should end it all

Shit yeah

Deep ass, bro.

@Zerion Can't tell if this is deliberate or just a hilarious mistake.

Tim: It has these really complex lyrics ... *plays the Pope song* 😂

Welcome to reality!!! Tim is the meaning of life.

Congratulations, you just found one of the most talented artists of our time, and a great human too.

+EdMcStinko I think the title comes from the fact that this version is longer. more tim = more awesome.

How about Extra Super Awesome?

i think he is too good for jazz or blues.... hes in a category of his own...

smidget whittington blues is simple music made attractive by raw musical talent. check. Jazz, on the other hand, is played by musicians with the best technical skills, or would you call Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane and so on (and there are loads of them there, who are virtually wizards with their instruments) musicians with "average" technical skill. i mean, it's one thing if you don't understand music, another entirely if you don't like jazz/blues. did you ever hear Thelonius Monk?

@@smidget5843 Tim can't even read or write music. He just never bothered learning it.

I love Tim's range. He's really good at humour and irony, but he doesn't have to rely on it. He can sometimes be straightforward and sincere. And either way he's top class.

Hahaha! Good 1 bro!

It is over 5 Minutes tho xD

So , if half his songs are 5 minutes and over then the whole of his songs are more than 10 minutes!

well he didn't lie.

Ya loved it XD

Who's Elise and why's he playing for her?

I think you mean Für Elise

Piper Beebeew Well to be fair they're the same, just one's in German and the other English.

@@vegancam no

A lifetime later, I can confirm…it indeed doesn’t ever get old.
