The recordings can simply never capture how ear piercingly loud the guitars were

[ethanbridges]

The fact this was recorded without Micheal Gira pouncing on the camera person is a miracle

[xarildri]

i love watching the drummer on the hanging man so much, that drum part looks so fun

[brandonnelson]

Saw them in Portland last night. This was absolutely mesmerizing the entire time. I was so captivated from beginning to end, in a way no other musical performance has before. This video is really good and still doesn't capture just how insane this stuff is in person.

Thanks very much!!! I saw them in Oslo on friday and I was shocked how loud the play :):):) It's unbelieveble how Michael controlls everything that happens around him.

It has now been one year ago today since this concert took place. I feel lucky and grateful to have seen this performance live for myself. Thank you so much for recording and uploading this on youtube ☺️✌️

[CaptainSpandex]

I appreciate how Gira is a grouchy old man. It really adds to the intensity that is Swans. It's the music to a man who's seen some serious shit in his lifetime. He doesn't take shit from anybody.

[barrysheppard]

Normally I hate people around me at a performance like this recording the whole show. That said, thank you Lord for you!!
Saw this show in Cleveland and wished I could relive it again and thanks to you I can.
This show was a truly religious experience and you captured it beautifully!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[Burythelie]

You go to a ton of shows that i've gone to, thanks for capturing them!

[ggoohhnnjjaalltt]

Thank you for posting this! I couldn't make any of the recent dates so this is the next best thing!

[ondrejplachy]

Great video, thanks. Saw them zesterdaz in Prague. Absolute madness. It was so loud I almost forgot I had a bodz. Truly transcendental.

1:56:55 gira smiling right into the camera hhahahaha

[johnbullabaugh]

I think maybe Mr. Gira was a martyred mystic in a previous life. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for posting! Saw them in Seattle last night, and I was astounded at just how insanely powerful and commanding the show was.

It’s one thing to listen to their albums with your headphones cranked to the max, but it’s a physical phenomena to be in a concert. "Loud" doesn't cut it. I've heard Michael mention in interviews that, for an effect that he wants, it has to be extremely loud.
I had a number of moments where these massive sound waves were reflecting around the room and clashing with itself (with the use of a delay effect pedal) and the result is of course simply not reproducible on a recording.

I'm extremely grateful to have seen them live.

I also had the privilege to shake Michael's hand and look him in the eyes and say "There are no words for what I wish to express to you, so I'll just say this: thank you so goddamn much." The way he listened to me say that meant a lot to me.
