Battles - Race: In - Live @ Johnny Brenda's June 15, 2008

The amazing Battles performing at the sold-out 8pm show on June 15, 2008 at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia.

Race: In is the fifth of 5 songs I recorded (all my memory card could hold) shot from the balcony. Great band. Great venue. Great show.

thats the risk you take when u play on this level. looks like ian made it too fast. i can understand. i play drums. some shit u just can't do any faster.

[StormAndStress3711]

it's like a man trying in vain to satisfy his woman, but she's too difficult

hard to watch

but he succeeds eventually!

@manicamadeus Im drummer also and I totally agree, damn technology.

What is the box Ian starts fiddling with around 1:00?

[RawImpactZz]

@NutterBuff its not johns fault, the loop is being played at a faster speed than normal and it isnt in time, if john cant play to this loop then its the loop that is incorrect, stanier = human clock

[NutterBuff]

@bobtheblob916 ! john is having a bad night, he is perfectly able to play at that speed!

[Solids2k]

@fartparticles This is correct. You can see him getting frustrated. Once they get going though, John Stanier is inhuman. He is a clock.

[bobtheblob916]

Silly Ian...Race: In is in 96 bpm, not 112!

[Numelsaince]

@Double0Panda He uses a delay, with just a single repeat for neach note he plays

[fartparticles]

@thepaperwin -Jon didn't mess up, Ian couldn't get his loops to sync on time and Jon is just pissed.

[ThePaperWin]

Any drummer knows how hard this song is to play. I'm not surprised that John messed up but I'm amazed he salvaged it so well.

[mariorossipuzza]

@Double0Panda i think he's picking really fast (16th notes...)
