Sleep is the incarnation of a giant C chord resonating through the universe

[cpmorgan]

Do we have that young man in the front row who yells to them "play slower" to thank for one of the best versions of From Beyond in existence?

[SilicateOverlord]

I love what Matt has going on in his setup with 5 Orange cabs, a few stacks, and a single digusting Marshall cab that's been altered to say Mars.

[BulletmanDoom]

You know it's a good show when the bass vibrates the camera.

[brennanchaudhry]

"Play slower" "ok"
LOL

[micgauth]

so glad this footage of this show exists.

I was able to score a ticket to this one and a friend managed to sneak me into the show the night before. The show the night before was $5 and sold out in like 3 minutes. It was Boris, Sunn O))) and Sleep. Sunn O))) hadn't been to town in about a decade so I figured I'd at least go hang out outside of Mohawk while it happened. A buddy of mine was working it and saw me and snuck me in about halfway through Sunn O))).

I'd only paid for like an hour of parking downtown because I was like "well, I don't wanna just hang out outside all night" and figured I wouldn't get in. After Sunn O))) finished I was like "oh fuck, my meter is gonna run out and I can't leave and get back in... whatever I'll just take the ticket since I'm getting to see Sleep." After the show I walked to my car and saw the ticket since my meter was up and the way the tags work in town is your print a little sticker and put it on the inside of your car. Well I lucked out because the car right by mine put it ON THE OUTSIDE of their car (and the meters don't have to be paid after midnight so they weren't gonna get a ticket) so I took the tag and mailed it in being like "yo, I paid for the parking on this date" and the ticket went away. I guess the moral of that story is that when things are supposed to happen, they work themselves out.

The screen shake from the sheer power Al unleashes...

[LuciidDreaming]

Al gets so into his music on stage, it's amazing

[TommyType]

I bet Matt Pike saves so much money not having to buy t-shirts!

[joelwilnierak]

7 cabs... 2 orange amps and 2 marshalls... It's when you see these, you know shit is about to get REAL AS FUCK

[ralkof]

Lord Cisneros, Son of God, have mercy on me, a listener.

[MrBadGamer]

this recording of from beyond / cultivator-morris is and will be for ever the best version of those 2 songs / parts...
this is the top.

[tardybros]

Does anyone else think that's the best looking bass ever

[lazylion]

the pursuit of tonal landscape. the eschewing of shredding gimmicks. the exaltation of theme, feeling, and the human soul. enjoy your Sleep. enjoy it loud.

[scaberouswretch]

The roadie that comes on stage after the set is Damon Kelly, the son of Scott Kelly from Neurosis.

[TheEyesThrone]

love how the drummers kit is so bare bones but so expressive compared to a lot of metal

*cough cough* LARS

[Gorthaur-Bauglir]

The guys summon a dope and wattage fueled haze, Iommi be praised. Matt’s stage presence is a holy sight to behold and is forever emblazoned in my young mind, they are easily among the best of the best, as a pothead, I cannot thank you enough, video series is what introduced me to Sleep.

[neosmith]

Underneath one of Al's pickups is inscribed: "Whoso pulleth out This Bass of this stone..."

[thomassegaert]

0:30 Damn, those are some drum tuning skills

[michaelmireles]
