Portugal. The Man's 'And I' Live Performance

[rolandrog]

Just a few weeks away from getting a day job. They should change their name to Latin because they are so dead.

[MrJacquetheripper]

@rolandrog ....lolwut?

[JSnipes3]

Rad live band

[lilianacdias]

[waynepaul23]

[NickSpaloss]

[gabika00]

@NickSpaloss hahahah yeah right... long time ago!!

[Joao88Miguel]

Great awsome music! Cheers from..Portugal! :D

[urxstarr]

people actually disliked this?

[1Lion2the3Liam]

Just rediscovering these rad men! (interviewer is cool as well)

[ilikedrumming]

they're so hip

[ilikedrumming]

so hip

[kjonesy103]

P.TM is very "chill" sounding band, so it was nice to hear a little excitement at around 3 minutes, almost like a nightmare to break up the sometimes monotonous dream-like sound. At 5 minutes, they sink us back into that dream. The end is perfectly suited. Great song.

[mcgoo721]

@kjonesy103 Their live shows are a bit different these days. Just saw them last night and they were rocking pretty hard. They still have the chill vibe, but man they can really turn it up live!

You've got to make it to a show man.

[PlasmicNoxy]

Garret and Jason Sechrist are both really good drummers, and I'm not trying to hate on Jason but I feel like Garret gave the band a way better vibe and brought more to the table as far as music really went.

[denverm4x]

@Zatrahc the brown note is non existent

[adamaf17]

.hh

[adamaf17]

that presenter is such a douche...

[adamaf17]

that presenter is such a douche...

[ginotech]

It's not a backslash. Damn kids.

(PTM roolz)

[TheTonoMS]

3 people are total idiots.

[darkinnerrageX]

Three people don't have a soul.

[suzearon]

@mikeyball03 No, he does it because he has stage fright.

[thisizASIA4]

wow they are amazing live..

[15Think]

An example of sounds amazingly melted together.

[DinosaurusOcskai]

The lead singer and I have the same shoes. Should I feel cool or gay?

[juckstapose]

@DinosaurusOcskai gay, for not knowing his name.

[JorshWarshington]

@DinosaurusOcskai

You should tie a noose with the laces and fill in the blanks.

[ruufeeooh]

WOW FINALLY AN EMO BAND PROGRESSING. 

[gizmokabanjo]

@ruufeeooh I'm pretty sure they are not AN EMO BAND PROGRESSING. there is nothing emo about this band dumb ass

[HdotFly]

@gizmokabanjo

Agreed!

I don't see any dudes wearing guyliner, no creepy scene kids, definitely not emo.

[DinosaurusOcskai]

@ruufeeooh Yeah man, I grew up with them as a local band, they have never been emo.

[JoshFaille]

@DinosaurusOcskai They WERE a kind of screamo band, before Portugal.

[DannyWrestlesBears]

@ruufeeooh Do you even know what the fuck emo is?... There is nothing Hawthorne Heights-ish about this. Youre so fucking stupid.

[wind3]

@ruufeeooh not emo at all dumbass.

[jazzman551]

wtf is wrong with the audience are they dead?

[DinosaurusOcskai]

ak represent!

[soulseller13]

awesome vocal skills for a live performence!

[Rocksquad37]

@soulseller13

They are always so freakin' good live..

[skolviking]

[Rhouin]

wish i could find accurate guitar tabs for this song D:

[Rocksquad37]

@Rhouin

It's impossible to find accurate tabs for Portugal songs.. they're so f-ing awesome that they play notes that don't even actually exist. They're just that good.

[chibes682]

@Rocksquad37

Notes that don't exist???

How naive can one be???

Odd Chord fingering maybe (i.e like hendrix did) but never is there such a thing as a note in music that doesn't exist.

[Rocksquad37]

@chibes682

Wow.

Clearly during your extensive musical training you seemed to have failed to develop a sense of humor along the way.. and whats even more funny is that there aren't even odd fingerings, a fair amount of the material is actually quite basic.

And I love that you called me naive, you suck at the internet.

[chibes682]

@Rocksquad37

Notes that don't exist???

Odd Chord fingering maybe (i.e like hendrix did) but never is there such a thing as a note in music that doesn't exist.

[GoodOldAl7]

@Rhouin there are a lot of accurate tabs actually! its a very simple song honestly. the verse is just Am, Dm, G, C. the chorus is Am, E, F, C. and that little solo thing is really easy to figure out! those are the only chords in the song so go learn it, its a lot of fun to play.

[summerpeace9]

haha he's so cool xD

[mdcurly]

its kyle orton!!

[SSselfsponsored]

the beginning song was Bugle Call Rag

[firetruckgreen]

Their keyboardist looks sorta like Michael Cera... also, I've heard from countless people that PTM's live show is terrible. However, this is live and it is the opposite of terrible.

[Doogmeister]

@firetruckgreen Personally... I think they are amazing live... The way they structure their songs for the live atmospheric feel... it blows you away... John Gourley's vocals are soooo incredible live.... You just gotta check em out when they come by....

[kiijl]

awesome voices

[dmx1910]

fuck you, i love the keyboardist and everything they are.

[talkshowhost64]

portugal the man, kay kay and his weathered underground and RX bandits=heaven

[dunkfan9]

God damn I wish they would open for RX Bandits again. My two favorite bands

[apricotloverr]

this is amazing

[MattsMisc]

One of the most underrated bands of the decade. Can't wait to see them at ACL! 10/10/10!!!!!

[SLBovar]

Portugal Olé...

Yes great mans the portugueses..thats very true

Grande Portugal :-)

[FollowersofDamu]

they need dave to come out and jam with em

[GoodOldAl7]

i wish they had recorded it on the album at this tempo. It seems so fast on the cd.

[iwazused]

any one know what kind of guitar john in using? looks like a jet king, can any one confirm this?

[GoodOldAl7]

@iwazused its either a fender jaguar or jag-stag. i'm pretty sure. i know its a fender for sure.

[yesh0yesh0yesh]

@GoodOldAl7 jazzmaster

[slappykincaid07]

that's bad-a sir. lol

[blackpleg28]

aww man they toiured with rxb!!!tht wudda been an awsome show

[JoeLerum]

it's just his style

[MikeTheMisanthrope]

pretty good

[vondugle]

lol.....zac is probably the coolest dude in this band...

[legitstuff]

No YOUR the coolest dude in the band...

[podge325]

Saw them today.. is their singer shy or something? he acted today like he acted in this video..

..

great performance though. nice stufff.. i wanted to buy a cd from their merch stand but no one was there :<

[mickynorton]

yeh man i noticed that too. were you at the horsehoe? the singer was sideways most of the time or with his back to the crowd lol.

[maybenot1]

yeah, he has stage-freight, seen them twice in their home state (Alaska!) and he's a little more comfortable here i think, he faces the audience a little more, and is a little more into it....

[euronegative]

it makes sense but how can you have stage-freight and perform like he does??

saw them in barcelona few days ago and he acted just like in this video. AWESOME show anyway.

[icannothearyou]

I was able to see them perform last week and Jason is now my favorite drummer. Totally amazing.

[icannothearyou]

Hey! That is not the normal drummer! Where is Jason?

[buenoproduction]

his dad had a stroke, so he had to go back home while the band was on tour. but that was like a year ago, jason is back with them now

[ash2146485]

johnny got a new guitar when the censored colors album was coming out, he played that jag forever before that, seen them a hundred times!!!! ok maybe 10

[ash2146485]

hey plays a fender jaguar!

[Mushman34]

@ash2146485 That's a Jazzmaster.

[moneyonthegrill]

check out messenger mercury if you like this

[kosherboy92]

simply amazing.

[xaviarereed91]

John Baldwin Gourley... you my friend are the fucking man!I can't wait to see these guys again they are fucking awesome people that are very passionate about what they do no matter what that's what I love about portugal the man...

[Flavio1218]

I didn't know a band with my country's name! VERY GOOD!

[Jwkartz2]

Can't get enough Portugal. ;D

[eddypalacioschannel]

1:19

[unearth91]

thanks.

[lowregister]

Does anyone know what kind of bass Zach is playing? Waiter: You Vultures has the sickest bass sound ever.

[punkfan773]

From the looks of it, t's just an oldish Fender Precision. They put lots of effects over it at times though.

[Mushman34]

@lowregister That looks to be a Fender Precision bass. He uses up to 3 Boss DS-1 pedals at once and also has a Line 6 FM4. Quite often seen playing through Fender and Sunn amps from the 60s and 70s.

[prokoptom]

WOW, JUST WOW!

[atypicalmystery]

Waiter: You vultures is where its at.

[jimmyfsu84]

how bout all 4 albums are amazing

[atypicalmystery]

nope. I can't agree.

[ZWHC]

I could do without the spacey keyboard at the end, but the rest of it was sick.

[diddypopdiddy]

and we could do without your pointless opinion about their keyboard also. haha

[Shyox]

@diddypopdiddy

Their keyboard player sucks, so their's no avoiding that, their intro was boring as ****

[primergrey1]

@Shyox trolling trollers troll

[streetkarpftw]

fuck yeah!

[ReeDParkeR12345]

lucky fucks getting to tour with rx bandits and fall of troy and tera melos. jesus

[ibeatwow]

Really fucking good performance.

[maxc372]

hahaha

on the world wide web

wtf??

hahaa

[ibeatwow]

HOW CRAZY

[devonmeron]

anatomy of a ghost was cooler

[d0d04]

I don't know cooler. Personally in what they were doing I'm not sure how many more albums they could of released that could have such a diversity as Portugal. The Man can/ has/ have. But Aoag was awesome, but not more awesome.

[huntXman]

holy crap reverb.

[sharpshooter1220]

awesome vid

love the album :)

[kirkFROmMetallica]

sounds like Some old Love song i can;t remeber whats the name

[tylerarnold1234]

holy crap john has really stepped up his live vocal performance and their music is really really tightly knit now.

[freun989]

thats not john's normal guitar, the white falcon is so raw

[stud2her]

The jag kicks ass

[Vonpalbuk]

jazzmaster douchebag

[amuzaire]

+1 LOL

[jonobomb]

there name is based on David Bowie's concept of a single person being more famous or bigger than a country - something like that. They said Portugal was the first country that came to mind. This version's slower than the album but I like it :]

[manicospic]

Why would this guys have the name Portugal? Is there any relation or something?

[Lastlife43]

That was pretty dam good, i heard their song Salt and loved it, i love this even more!

[greatmonkey1]

What a Jam!

[PolarOpposites12]

wow... this was perfect

[pryze]

love this band even more now

[BlackxPhoenix]

perfection!
