I really thought that saxaphone player was good ..... then everyone else started playing. This whole band is pretty amazing. This tempo of chicken is ridiculous

I raised my kids on this video a decade ago...and took them to see Morgan perform with Devin Townsend right before the tour got cancelled. Morgan is every bit the legend I hoped he’d be.

As a guy with ADHD/ADD wo medication heavily based around control and know who what's up, this music has a sort of cleaning effect on me. My mind is always running wild on all kinds of control based elements. This kind of music tickles my interest in a way that almost uses 100% of my CPU.

Whatever I wrote about Pekka Pohjola here earlier was a stupid mistake.
Tommy Tordsson is the bassplayer in this video.
Pekka Pohjola was another great bassplayer that sadly died 2008.

@Mats Eriksson He died! Shit! Sad to hear. He. Blessed this planet with good music before he departed, tho, and I will be eternally grateful.
