Mastodon The Last Baron Live Part 1 Boulder, Co

[RalphieLOVe1]

i find this song to be beautifully majestic

[MarcusMatamua]

i think its safe to set all mastodon haters ABLAZED?

[TheGerthax]

this song should have a music video SOOOO bad

[Bsabtallica017]

brann never misses a fucking beat ever

[radical7bastard]

04:44 Hahha, I know they are supposed to be in sync, but watching Brent and Troy doing that in perfect sync slide is so awesome.

[SpasmOfJoy]

Best song on the Record.

[Saviorofthefallen]

If only Mastodon did a live album. This is the closer. I imagine them going immediately going into this after the last song. No pause or anything, just straight into it. It would be the metal show to end all metal shows.

[scarred2112]

@Saviorofthefallen They taped their Chicago show last October for a DVD release (Crack The Skye + The Medley setlist) so it's a very real possibility that they could also take the audio and release in on CD as well. If not, you can always rip the audio off the DVD... ;-)

[zdkezios]

@Saviorofthefallen dude...it was (2009 october house of blues myrtle beach. they played all of crack the skye without stopping between songs)

[dhigh57]

3 days til mastodon, btbam, baroness, and valient thorr lexington, ky

[tiddleywinks]

@dhigh57 i went to that show in grand rapids, michigan. it was kinda a bummer they didnt play this song but still one of the greatest moments of my life. bill was sick and didnt play that night either

[iDrum37]

im seeing mastodon and btbam in 17 days :DDD

[doomsdaygray]

love the prog part at 5:40. this band is so fucking badass!

[helmsters93]

best band of the 21st century

[AQganon]

this song is my soul put into music.

[disturbed2909]

wow look at the info box they played hearts alive. that must have been awesome

[makeithurtful]

Everytime ive seen Mastodon live theyve blown me the fuck away. Even before I knew who the fuck they were I saw them open for Slayer and I was fuckin lovin it. Whoever says they suck live can sit on a dildo, its FALSE.

[Cjcool300]

Same with me. I liked them before but seeing them live just ignited me.

[xyndii]

i saw them live last night and let me tell you, this video does NOT do mastodon justice. i always thought they were bad live, but last night's gig at the roundhouse, they were amazing. front row, center. caught brann's drum stick!

[Needham90]

Saw them live for the first time at Bristol.

OMFG. My dick actually moved throughout the entire show!

I swear I nearly cried when they played The Last Baron as it's so well played in all aspects and such a good song to end the main act on.

This album helped me remember events for my A level History on Tsarist Russia! xD

[Rizzalala]

mastodon is rasputin

[rockoholik]

Mastodon is the shit! And that video in the background is really cool, they should release a dvd with that video and the album playing over it

[AndrewFilmsInc]

wow lucky bastard they played hearts alive

[PauloJorgeMonteiro]

Their melodic vocals at live are really bad,

I've seen them 3 times now, and they are melodically poor.

Still a great band!!!

[HamerLamer]

i think its the sound, their live vocals usually arent that bad, especially with the newer albums were they sing instead of scream.

[chowyoungfat]

check out aeon live by neurosis, you can see the influence. If you like mastodon, then they are right up your alley. check out locust star as well for a ridiculously badass performance.

wicked bands!

pce

[stefangio]

shouldn't record vocals that will be challenging live. singing was bad on letterman also. Seen them live twice bt didnt notice the vocals until this album

[m1lky]

So you're saying they should have made the album sub-par so they could sing it better live?

I would rather have bad live vocals that sound good on the album than mediocre vocs on both sides.

[ahmadaz96001]

they should tune it half step down when playing live... or not??

[nirvanaaddict8989]

they do. this song is in Db or CGCFAD whatever you want to call it

[ahmadaz96001]

@nirvanaaddict8989 well u mean it's tuned as CGCFAD in the record rite?? what i'm saying is they should tune it halfway down from that when playing live like play it BF#BEG#C# or whatever. get what i mean?? it's not gonna be as cool but maybe brent can get his pitch rite

@@ my favorite nirvana song is mexican seafood. or maybe lounge act.. i think is a tie @@

[nirvanaaddict8989]

@ahmadaz96001 oh okay my bad i thought you ment half step down from standard lolz- yeah they are both great songs but all of kurts music is gold in my eyes i am really and addict of nirvana, alice in chains, melvins, mastodon, in flames, shadows fall... to many to list so i'll stop there ha

[immortalx50]

they should hire a vocal coach, seriously

i like Mastodon, but often their live vocals just ruin whole songs

[numbchucking]

that run at 5:50 blows me away every time

[MastaChief117]

Either the sound quality is shit or he really really cant sing

[numbchucking]

..have you heard the song off the album??

its dead on here.....

[jasemac88]

Last Baron is my favorite song on the album, i like the vocals on it. The Czar is 2nd.

[Transferhell]

o.k... this is on of the best songs i've heard this year

this one is right next to The Count of Tuscany by great DT

[SpasmOfJoy]

FUCK THat

sorry dude but the least Baron Is the next 9th Symphony

[Transferhell]

hsuahsuasa, okay dude, no problemo

[hammerandpray]

@Transferhell

Hahaha "The last baron", "The count of tuscany"

I dunno man, I think that the count of tuscany, good as it is, is just a bit too draggy and pretentious for me.

[Transferhell]

@hammerandpray

realy dude??

well, maybe a litle repetitious with the instrumental, but i don't think is "pretentious"

... however, i can't say much cuz i'm a huge fan, sooooooo for me is good as it is.

so my opinion shouldn't count much

[TheGerthax]

@Transferhell i agree soooo much with that statement

[Capirosko]

love them...

[Fry1077]

really progressive riff

[shrobi1]

I was standing directly in front of troy at this show and it was soooo flipping great because this album and this song is so fucking amazing!!! I was too close too actually hear any of the singing - but it was still faboosh!!

[chukka667]

"cyanide he craves coursing through his veins providing him with strength..."

now thats what i call badass lyrics

[propheticemcee]

The quality of this video is WEAK but i know this song from the CD and it is INCREDIBLE!!!!

[Grakbonedust]

Amazing song. Amazing album

[h3rsh3y94]

5:50

YYZ much?

[poormans5]

try king crimson.......song called 21st century schizoid man. ive heard the guitar players talk about how influence them big time. that part at 5:50 is pretty much ripping off the song im talking about....check it out. ripping it off in a good way that is.

[bom2]

I totally agree. the second part of this song is very, VERY Crimson-esque.

[chowyoungfat]

king crimson are wicked, didn't connect the dots to that song until i read that, it is very similar. These guys are influenced by some really great bands. love it.

[Andrash88]

i agree

[Rocker267]

the whole song was actually based around tghat riff lol it was the first one written for the song

[KristianWGeorge]

Yeah, it's a little like YYZ, but I doubt it was intentional.

[slimshady1111]

yeah man i was thinking the same thing, it sorta sounds like it

[RaNk323itsmynamegeez]

oh sweet its like the whole albums a movie and they play it all the way through. they mustve got the idea of the screen from neurosis.

[Cbarrigana]

Yes, because only neurosis uses a screen in their performances.

[RaNk323itsmynamegeez]

i knew some smartass was gonna say that. i said what i did because their fans of neurosis.

[vvvpqsw]

In fact, the visuals for Mastodon and neurosis are created by Josh Graham

[GETSENT4]

Goddamn I bet this song is epic live.

I heard they're playing the whole new album all the way through on this tour. Is this true? And did they play any old stuff?

[Hiiiiiiiis]

fucking nice

[notforyou760]

Dude @ 5:40 they even did that crazy frank zappa-ish breakdown thats on the album!

[FarCry2112]

That breakdown reminds me of YYZ mixed with frank zappa

[acandycolorednick]

Brent's voice is in prime form

one kickass song

[thcdisc]

amazing show crappy venue

[fluffy303]

best venue in the country dumbass

[thcdisc]

dude i was at this show and the venue sucks my balls

[thcdisc]

i can think of ten venues in the denver metro area that would have been better than this one

[mastodonpwn]

I love what the keyboardist did for the songs on Crack The Skye.. they add a really cool element when its played live. I'm mad that I didn't catch the opening keyboard part for this song.

[leachables]

I agree, kind of an eerie solemn sound. But good. Dude, to me Mastodon is like Led Zeppelin times five at least

[Maglor2equaleft]

What to expect at Alive Optimus 09 in my country Portugal. Can't wait!!!

[tjtull]

Mastodon KFA!!!!

[LaughingManic1980]

Good Vid. Good sound. Can't wait to see them in Vancouver.
