A lot of clever production but when you get down to it most of the music is very simple, melodically and harmonically. Wilson seems to work from simplicity to comlexity whereas the great composers will work the other way round, refining and simplifying their ideas for maximum affect and effect. I have tried to listen to this music but it suffers from the same problem as Queens music i.e. too many ideas, not particularly original in themselves, under developed and spliced together in what seems a rather haphazard way. Sorry if my comments cause offence but there must be room for criticism as well as applause.

So grateful to you for uploading recent performances from the last few years in such high quality, really helping me get through the post-TMBG show mourning period until the next time I can go see them 😅

A Sentence of Sorts as the closing track! i would have PISSED

Hermosa voz

They premiered the video for Iggy Pop's "Wild America", a song co-written by Eric Schermerhorn that appears on an album Eric Schermerhorn plays guitar on, 3 years before Eric Schermerhorn joined TMBG. What a wild and fun coincidence.

4:59 JL's smile is everything I want to be as cool as him when I get older

so joyous. a wonder

Cabin Essence is sort sort of NEx-Level Beautiful. I almost tear up, and I'm not the woozy sort. Brian, You've done it again! How do you do it?!?!? I Love you, Brian, Thank You!

I married myself is one of my favourite song. I'm in tears each time I'm listening to it 😢. Sparks are unique and it's going to last for ever ❤❤

Great video and great quality. Thanks for the upload!

Such a good live version, especially with actual drums, really full sounding and the vocals are on point

linnell's face in the first minute scares me

ah ! my fav couple forever

I would love to see Direct From Brooklyn (and also Gigantic, since it's out of print) released in the Criterion Collection. I mean, they have a Beastie Boys music video collection in there, so why not TMBG!

Everything....everything.....that's left in it's right place.

I challenge you to a pissing contest judged by distance. I win.

In a funny and strange coincidence, I was randomly trying to find this this morning and when I couldn't decided to just order the DVD. I think you happened to upload this about 10 minutes after I bought it 😅 In any case I'm still excited to get my DVD but it won't be here for another week so I'm thrilled to be able to watch this now :) havent seen it in years - thanks for uploading!

It might be "you."

Direct from Brooklyn was my introduction to the band waaaaay back in the early 2000's by my babysitters, and I think I've listened to TMBG near daily ever since. Thanks for the upload!

There's actually a self-reference you missed: Sleeping in the Flowers: "I got a crush / Copy shop clerk" Snowball in Hell: "Avalanche or drug trip / My panacea's in a Xerox shop"

They've overcome their shyness and now they're calling me your highness!

Thanks for uploading!

I returned a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf before the expiration date! I came back as a bag of groceries taken off the shelf before my expiration date! I never apologized for making my younger brother my personal slave! Now it’s over and I haven’t done anything that I want, or I’m still alive and their’s nothing I want to do!!!

💚

32:49 it makes sense cause the song is about Whitney Houston playing the drums pretending to be marty bellar

It's so nice seeing him smile and just enjoying performing his art

30:27 (walter white in the car meme) FLAAAAANS!!! THAT WORD DOESN’T MEAN SLOW DOWN ANYMORE!!! FLAAAANS!!! NOOOO!!! FLAAAAANS!!!!!

Particle Man was the first song I illegally downloaded.

Was that Dinky Diamond on drums? (RIP)

I love the Why Does the Sun Shine performance

I've always liked the part where Linnell records a way worse vocal take than the one that's already there.

0:59 the STICK

YAY I was wondering where the recording of this performance went!! Thank you so much for re uploading it!!
