Wow, Neil makes the same mistakes singing his own songs as I do while singing them in the car.
I doubt he really focuses on doing these things live, honestly. I don't blame him at all.
oml i sing my stuff in a car too. well record my trash in car
I love the "MY MI- LIKE YOU" because every time i sing that song i make the same mistake
@@sleepjoy8221 Which song's that from?
nvm ancient aliens
as someone who knows the lyrics of these songs by heart, every mistake makes me progressively happier
It honestly just makes the performance feel full of more passion and love for doing it, it's not perfect, and that is what makes it perfect
that’s honestly what i don’t like about live performances...or really music now. i dunno. it makes the musician feel more human...it makes it feel more personal. like you’re really there and not just hearing it on Spotify or something
@@trevorhare3171 I think being able to see them sing it adds to that feeling, too.
@@crayon313 DO IT
@@crayon313 oh fuck yeah can't wait to see that
unpopular opinion: the voice cracks are actually the best part
from what i’ve seen, your opinion is actually quite popular.
So true
They are beautiful
YES
I like ur pfp also yes it does
Neil doesn't seem like much of a stage person. He likely slipped up on some of the words a ton out of anxiety lol. Can't say I blame him.
ClownDuck hi
EllieStudios
Hi!!!
@@ClownDuck Uweh?!
That could make sense but at the imagination summit he was completely fine. He only made slight changes to make them different. This is gone from changes for being live into heavy slip ups
That mike seems kinda weird. Also he not in studio so there is quite a lot of echo. And again that mike doesn’t seem to picking up much of the instruments
Edit: Lol, figured out he doesn’t record in a studio
at first the mistakes in cabinet man distracted me, but then i realized it totally enhances the batshit feral mood that the song conveys. its perfect the man goes ham
I love how you casually say "batshit feral"
That is literally lemon demon in a nutshell
@@chowcowgamer5834 lol thank you

20:00 neil gets so overwhelmed by the concept of being gay with mos def then eating pizza he forgets that whole bit of the song

@@Froggymationswho asked you?
i love how when he introduces himself everyone says “HI NEIL” it makes me so happy. and then he proceeds to ask everyone their name and they all say it, and he responds like he’s in a conversation. very cool.
yes neil is very cool he is the best
yes

Neil at concert: *Teenager mode activated*

@@Froggymations make good videos
He’s just anxious around people
Can't blame him, I shake when I'm just presenting a slide show.
No shame, Neil is a studio musician where a lot of work is needed to get to the right pitch, just the effort it took to adapt his songs to live versions is quite respectable.
holy shit cabinet man 4 years before it was released
Along with Redesign Your Logo, Ancient Aliens, and kinda Reganomics and As Your Father I Expressly Forbid It
He sorta released Reaganomics in 2012. Sorta.
He technically released Redesign Your Logo in like 2010 or something
And he released Ancient Aliens in 2012 along with Reganomics
I think eight wonder was written in 2008
I hope Neil knows the mess-ups were _far_ beyond understandable. I'd be in absolute disbelief if he 100% nailed the lyrics of Toy Food.
Anyway, considering how freaking crazy the instrumentation is in most Lemon Demon songs, it's really interesting seeing how they approximate the sounds of the studio versions.
neil cannot not be cute
"Not real is like is real food but is like toy"
cope
HAMBURGER HAMBURGER!!!!!!!!!!!! helper.
i think his visible nervousness etc have a lot to do with the scale of the concert. there are recordings from earlier years with a smaller audience where he's far more relaxed and seems to be having fun, so ofc his vocals sound better there. tho i really like the song versions from this concert too, the trashy mic and neil's messups have a charm to them somehow too!!
the part where he stuttered on cabinet man yet smiled and carried on anyways 🥺
I thought the songs sounded a little creepy, until I realised it was just because of the fact that it was live
It still looks like he's having a lot of fun tho :)
He definitely seems to loosen up towards the end of this show but I think you’re right
@@lovecoloredward so sugoi 🥺🥺
24:50 HELP IVE BEEN LAUGJING AT THIS FOR 5 MINUTES HE JUST STARTS SCREAMING AND IM. WHWBJDBDNDNBDNDNN
I UNDERSTAND SJDJFSJKFD
absolutely fucking OBSESSED with the "bashing in my face with a crowbar (ow)" at 14:08
I loved that too, it seems like a random thought he just decided to say outloud
I love how monotone it is
cope
Same!!!
now when I hear the actual song it feels empty that there's no 'ow'
I'm AT THE PIZZA HUT
I'M AT THE TACO BELL
I'M AT THE COMBINATION PIZZA HUT AND TACO BELL

i was the brunette front and center in the potter puppet pals shirt goin crazy and i can say that the crowd had a good energy in person. and it's the biggest draw for lemon demon i've seen since i've been coming every year since 2009 to see them here. i'm so proud of how much bigger they've gotten!

what if you wanted to go to heaven but got said: 14:44
I would get respects from god for listening to lemon demon
or 33:22
I would convert to christianity on the spot if God sang the voice crack version of Cabinet Man instead of the obviously inferior, shitty Spirit Phone version
hi froji
I feel like this would be way better if he had a better microphone.
dunno if it was the mic or the fact that the vocals were just way too high.
To be fair: he's also screaming, most likely due to nervousness, but screaming none the less. I absolutely still love this anyway, though. But yeah, a better mic probably could have helped.
Tbh he should have backed off of the mic more for the loud parts
It seems he’s using a regular SM58 which are known for being probably the best vocal performance microphone for the price (but still costing like £90), so whatever is causing issue is someone doing an awful job at the mixing desk, if there even is one lol
@@oliverhaines1716 Yeah he is defiantly using a SM58 it sounds like the gain was way too high, he was too close to the mic causing the proximity effect which is good if the song is quiet but he was screaming into the mic, it also sounds like someone was twerking on the eq nobs and no one moved them back.
The fact that he stumbles makes him sound more human and it’s nice.
It’s obvious singing isn’t something that comes naturally to Neil, which really makes me appreciate how hard he works to make himself sound so good.
Eh, I wouldn’t say that. I think he was just really nervous here, you can kind of see it in his movements and how he stumbles over himself every few minutes.
Also doesn’t help that his microphone is really bad here.
40:18 when I forget what I’m supposed to say during a PowerPoint presentation
The "don't ask" was hilarious 😂
there are no words to describe my utter joy at seeing him do the combination pizza hut and taco bell bit
Same I was uncontrollably happy at that part

A lot of messups and voice cracks in this concert but I don't blame him, if I sang for an hour straight I'd have trouble remembering lyrics and keeping my voice from cracking lol
It's still really cool to see him perform live tho.

14:08 ow
And that's why I say ow when singing cabinet man
It just makes it funnier
Neil Cicierega is my God
It's time to build official Neil church
Acorn Animation yes please.
*yes*
yes
same
it's completely understandable that his voice cracks up this much in a live concert considering how high he sings
True
Neil has a really good voice... now. He always sang super low in the old stuff, I never really heard him hit higher notes until Spirit Phone. it's hard for me to listen to the old stuff now even though he's written TONS of really awesome songs. The Ocean especially is fantastic. Between You and Me. Sky Is Not Blue. Rainwater. Kitten Is Angry. they're a little unpolished now, and after spirit phone came out, for me, it really drove home just how much his old tracks were being held back. i kind of hope he goes back and redoes a few of them, but as a musician myself, i totally understand wanting to always keep moving ahead
just some thoughts at 5 am no one read this okay
I FORGOT TO LIST THE MACHINE
SERIOUSLY IMAGINE "THE MACHINE" BUT WITH HIS NEW SHINY PRODUCTION OH GOD IT'D BE SO GOOD
Steven AD, archaeopteryx and Indie Cindy and the Low-fi lullabies are awesome too
100% agree, his songwriting and composition is incredible, but he doesn't have the vocal skills to do it justice. His most recent albums don't have these problems as much, but older stuff (I've Got Some Falling To Do, Atomic Copper Claw, Archaeoptryx, etc.) could use some repolishing.
If only...
cope
fucking cringe
THE ABSOLUTE MADLAD WENT OFF ON BRODYQUEST 2.0
neil butchering my favourite songs of his validates my appalling singing ability, especially the ocean lmao
SAME! i’ll have issues with hitting higher notes when singing his songs to myself but.... i’m doing just as well as neil did live 8 years ago so.... i cant be that bad?

Favourite part by far: when they sung Really Cool Wig Neil messed up but then screamed ‘f*ck yes’ I thought that was BEYOND perfect timing
Second fave: during cabinet man, “bashing in my face with a crowbar.... o w”
Was at this concert and it was great, defiantly the best I've seen Neil live. The crowd was dead though and I was one of a handful of people getting into it. Hope to see Lemon Demon come back to Youmacon in 2014.

Neil is proof we live in the good timeline.
As someone who loves "Really cool wig", the mistakes only make it better
Pretty amazing how they kept it together with all the uncommon rhythms and time signatures in his music
He doesn't deviate often from 4/4
i listened to this so many times waiting for spirit phone, i was really desperate to hear the studio versions of cabinet man, as your father i expressly forbid it, and ancient aliens (though i did find the early unreleased version of ancient aliens)
17:19 fun goosebump facts! Did you know RL stine is from Ohio? And his habit of ending books on cliffhangers isn’t just a cheap tactic to end the book quickly (though it definitely doubled as that) but it is also driven out of when he and his brother were kids, he’d tell him scary stories late at night, and right as he got to the good part, he’d fake a yawn, go “alright, too tired to continue, I’ll finish the story in the morning” and then he never did. It’s a joke for himself. During his teen to young adult years he wrote all his stuff on a typewriter he found in his attic. All of this is from his autobiography, “it came from Ohio” if you ever want a light read about a wild man. :)
It’s so weird and cool for a band’s first show get this treatment. Normally the first 10+ shows are basically rehearsals, working out kinks and getting comfortable. Interesting to see a recording of what normally is an awkward period all bands have to endure.
That doesn’t apply here obvs since it was just a temporary project, but they did really great. Especially since some songs he had to totally re-learn. Maybe to a musician that’s not a big deal, but to me it’s impressive.
