- When we first met The Brian Jonestown Massacre some years ago in Anton's studio in Berlin, we were blown away by the bands' live sound and not able to record it the best way possible. In October of 2018, the band played a sold-out two-hour-show in London, in the O2 Kentish Town. We took a car, started in Cologne, Germany, took the ferry, drove to London and shot this.

Cardinal Sessions was founded in the summer of 2010. They challenge the classic music video and try to replace impersonal footage with immediate and emotional snapshots.
Bands from all over the world with their different genres present their songs reduced to the essence of the musical spectrum - only vocals and unplugged instruments. Due to the spontaneous live-aspect and the approach to record every song without any additional rehearsal, songs emerge that often sound significantly different to their album versions.
We film on locations that the musicians mostly choose by themselves: remote places, frequented streets, parks, woods, fields, bars; nothing is impossible. We have accomplished our goal if the location fits well to the background of the music we and the artists want to present. But our most important purpose is that there are no borders: we film everything that we like, no matter how popular, famous or also unknown a band might be. It is still important for us to support local talents and it will always stay part of our concept.
The Cardinal Sessions team can also be booked: for example to film short documentaries of album recordings, studio recordings or live concert moments that you want to capture.

CardinalSessions thank you! You are the heroes who do shit like this. I applaud you.
Wow!! Amazing!!
Absolutely brilliant 👍🏻 Could you please cut it up & upload as single songs would be great so I can post them to friends,especially Vad Hände Med Dem?(best version I’ve heard) & Forgotten Graves(ditto)
Thank You😀
Hands down the best concert I've been to. We smoked a joint before going in and made our way to the front. Mid-set, my best mate passed out from the overwhelming realization that he was watching BJM live. I carried him out and slapped him back to consciousness, we made our way back inside just as Pish started and met two Spanish girls. I flew out to Vegas the next day, sitting in my seat with a huge grin on my face - thinking about this gig. Fuck I miss live music and I love this band so goddam much.
This is what being alive and living life feels like my friend...cheers!
We all miss it my friend. Especially this incredible band and man
simular experience as your friend.
I’ll be seeing them next month in Brooklyn. I will probably pass out too.
Man reminds me of when I was a better looking man , no way that would ever happen now lol but nothing takes those memories away right?
This should be released as a live album
Wow totally
Agreed! Fantastic sound and songs. Please tweet to Antone and see if he might consider it. He'll likely respond. He likes the interaction.
@@ChrisC-vz7sr I would if I had a twitter account. Someone do it! I want it released :)
@@Jsn421 I can get you a twitter account for cheap like $5 or a taco off the taco truck ;-). I'd Tweet him myself but Antone blocked me over some cheap political disagreement about chopped off heads and a boy named Baron. Que sera sera (sic?). The other alternative could be to snaggletooth it. It's going to be a 2 hour song on your phonograph though. You know it! Peace, dude.
❤️
The drummer so in the pocket.❤ sounds sooooo good… forgotten graves I play this like once a day for my sanity
what a great drummer
Thanks! That's me (Sara Neidorf) on drums. I'm also drumming on the most recent BJM album (self-titled, 2019). If you want to hear more of my drumming, here are some of my projects: sarattma.bandcamp.com | mellowdeath1.bandcamp.com | apteraberlin.bandcamp.com | restlessghosts.bandcamp.com
BJM is its own genre. Love.
Why this isn't an album yet is way beyond what my musical/magical brain can process. Holy shit man. Gold.
This is piss takingly good. An absolute masterclass in concert filming. The audio is off the fucking scale amazing. 1000 thanks for uploading this treat.
Agreed! Ive been consistently revisiting this video since it was uploaded
Indeed! I can hear the lyrics clearly for the first time... and they are GOOD TOO!
It reminds me of the Bob Dylan documentary from the 60s. Can't remember the directors name.
I saw the BJM in Nashville and they were fucking fabulous.
DA PENNEBAKER! Go watch a concert film by Pennebacker and you will see what I mean
Where's Rob tho -- Rob is the greatest
I randomly chose to watch a documentary called "Dig" about BJM and The Dandy Warhols. I instantly became a fan. I'm just surprised it took me this long before I heard them. I'm in my 50's now, and so glad they found me.
Thank you, BJM.
I'm in my 50's and I just discovered them a couple years ago. How did they stay out of the mainstream all those years?!
Don't quite know what to say. It's mesmerising. It's anti everything, but so affirming. It's life, it's regrets, it's for the future, it's swagging, it's like we don't give a f, but at the same time we want it all. It's all ours, just grab it, but don't f. others. Be different, but not normal. If you're listening you're already a convert, You know the deal with BJM. It's all about Anton, Joel and the history. It's R&R. Brilliantly played. Awesome. Life affirming. Go live your life. Anton doesn't own us, he supports us!
Bjm
Thank you Mom and Dad for having lots of vinyl from the 60’s and 70’s. Had you not, I may have never fallen in love with incredible music. Anton, if you happen to read this, Thank You for persevering and creating sounds that stop me dead in my tracks. Your music means a great deal to me. Thank you Cardinal for sharing this music to a world of fecklessness and vapidity.
thank you
Guess Anton actually did!
The BJM are fucking great.I only wish I had heard their stuff earlier. I'd heard of the band but never the music. They are so inventive and different.
...ditto and well said...
Right on brother
I honestly can't stop listening to this live Brian Jonestown Massacre show...the overall sound quality is through the roof, the set list is sweet (a great mix of the entire catalogue), everyone in the band is in their element on stage. Like cogs in a machine, the Brian Jonestown Massacre machine is in full power and performance. Thanks for uploading this show and recording it! Everything about this is wonderful....I am completely mesmerized by this performance. Cheers to Anton, Joel, and company! Well done everyone.
totally agreee - though I admit to being skeptical at first when dan wasn't there. but Anton was obviously after a special sound and boy did he get it with these new guys......so understated....accept for anton of course. watched it at least 8 times and listen to get it constantly.
the girl on the drums makes the band sound so much like the albums.
They’re coming to my town, San Antonio TX in a few weeks. Can’t wait
@@coolti44 Worrd! Agreed. I will be seeing them in exactly one week in Portland, OR. So psyched and pumped up. Been wanting to see them for a decade and missed them when they came through in 2018.
So pretty. Tears in my eyes. Brazil 🇧🇷😭
Well this is the best live concert on CZcams there is really....
Supremely professional and excellent performance by one of the most chaotic bands ever .
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤I love Chaos❤❤❤ its creative
I love Chaos
The relationship between Anton and Joel is entertaining in and of itself. Lots of eye rolling from Joel when I saw them live. 😆
just finished watching Dig, now I'm here. Didn't know if anyone survived, happy endings after all :)
I think that they all made it through the experience, Matt Hollywood went off and did his own stuff
Perhaps Courtney from the Dandys fared the worst
@@digger5521 It's a shame, too. IMO, DANDYS RULE OK is a great album. The Dandy Warhol's Come Down is like 2/3 of a great album. 13 Tales is worse, more pedestrian... but it does have two good songs (Bohemian Like You is a banger, Godless is decent). After that, the only Courtney Taylor song I've ever liked is "We Used To Be Friends." I'll admit that it's kinda corny, but at least it has some energy.
What sucks is that Taylor's voice is completely shot. I watched their concert to commemorate the closing of that club/theater in Portland (the one where they shot a lot of their music videos). They tried to play mostly songs from their first two albums (Not Your Bottle, Genius, Ride, Boys Better, etc), and Taylor just could not hit the notes anymore. It was fun to hear the old tunes, but also very sad to see the guy struggle.
Then last year he put out "Tafelmuzik Means More When You're Alone." I don't know what Tafelmuzik is, but I listened to it alone and it was some of the worst music I've ever heard.
I love that there are (almost) 31 of us, who've done this now!
Just finished Dig and all I could think about are the two antithesis of artists, but come out truly loving Anton. Went straight to this live and seeing Joel with him back on stage, made my heart smile wide!
@@akhilamv9388 Check out the 2012 tour. Matt Hollywood rejoined the band around the time of the _Aufheben_ release. Nothing at all against Will Carruthers (former bassist for the legendary Spacemen 3, touring bassist for the BJM), but it was so great seeing and hearing Matt play his songs live with his former band!
I love this concert, the chords are so simple yet so deep, the vintage guitars melting their sound to each other, and the fact they take their time between, and during songs makes this so precious.
You know I got to say The BJM is 1 underrated unknown band that has done nothing but grow, mature, and get better since the 90's... they've truly ripened. Or should I said Joel, Anton, and Hollywood have. It's a beautiful thing. Much Love Anton. Had many exchanges with him on Twitter when he 1st moved to Berlin and he was a fine gentleman. Not at all the "madman" the media has made him out to be! Much Love BJM #KeepRockRaw #TheBJMRocksMySocksOff!
niggah thinks hollywood is still in the band
I am 62 woman and this is awesome-and I use it in the sense of really being filled with awe
Loved every minute and thanks for the upload! Great to see a crowd that isn't a sea of cell phones... Cheers, from Toronto
I am thinking like ya that's it. Same thoughts. I didn't know these guys were here till yesterday. Glad I stumbled upon. New music that grabbed me and I really dig it. Oh, ya I'm only 62 too.
@@brianandlindafairchild1237 and there's is much to discover.....do a playlist or something... you'll be amazed at the range in genres, especially on all the records. I went down the rabbit hole five years ago and I still can't find my way out -- I thought I was out -- and then this wonderful show dragged me right back in. Greatest band since Neil young or Stones. Imo, im 60 too, so I seen it all as well and this is REAL.
Love that! Rock on girl 🤘🙂
@@brianandlindafairchild1237 I'm a 45 year old man :) This is one of my favourite bands of all time, seen them twice in Toronto, once in Montreal. One of the few bands that "have stood the test of time" as I have gotten older. Hope you find some more BJM to enjoy, in the meantime another you might like is The Liminanas from France, Anton the singer here plays with them sometimes. czcams.com/channels/qtSEOA-Toztj74wKq6H7gw.htmlvideos
This is Anton Newcombe the singer's chanel czcams.com/users/antonfjordsonvideos
I am a 45 year old man who escaped from T.O. 10 years ago and love your comment! I saw them in the 90s on some second floor Chinese restaurant on Spadina and 10 years later at the Phoenix. I love this concert because I feel like I am at the show and don't have to go (I don't like crowds these days).
The drumming on this, wow. And everything else of course.
So tight and inventive!
I went to this on my own , sober. It was incredible
Just phenomenal, my ultimate band for decades now. Bless you Anton, you're my favourite crazy genius in this life.
True true true. Amazing 2023 now
The best band ever ❤
υπερβολή ρε φίλε
that's morphine. But BJM is probably following them very closely.
@@dn8tvrs η καλυτερη υπερβολη αραουντ
That‘s the moment when you were asked what‘s your favourite band...
I hope you'd entertain some differing viewpoints, at least be open to discussion on the subject. I have a hunch even Massacre members would be willing to add a few groups, such as the Beatles, Stones and The Band to the conversation...
BJM live is the real deal. It is so good live.
They are an experience when seen live. I've seen Anton restart a song 3 times, then finally said "Ill do it myself"! Im so happy they've finally found some stability and success.
made me cry
if you're a bjm fan its a must to see them live, its def a blown away experience.
What a fucking great concert! Sound quality and overall mix is stunning!
OK I think this is (seriously) around the 50th time I start listening this live while working... ❤️
Thanks BJM for existing
Hands down THE BEST live performance! Love the tempo and sound!
Extremly sad and beautiful. Someone speaking the truth about mean parents ( like mine)
Man I love this drummer's style so much. She's badass.
Absolutely perfect, she's fantastic.
She is the one im looking at all the time. So damn smooth
Who´s the lady drummer? Before was Daniel Allaire who was great!
In fact, she is playing on the same kit Allaire used to play on. Maybe Anton bought and owns the kit...
Her name is Sara Neidorf from here in Philadelphia
I've pretty much decided that this is the most visually spectacular concert film I've ever seen. Thanks for giving the world this.
My absolute favorite band. Great live act.
great drummer lady
Who is it?
@@bonebrothpete7928 should be Sara Neidorf en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Brian_Jonestown_Massacre_members
@@bonebrothpete7928 Sara Neidorf
...yes, an on point drummer
During the pandemic, I viewed this every day. It was my light at the end of a dark tunnel,
Fantastic to hear this sound in 2020 especially with such a great range of songs. Honestly thought in my mid fifties I was becoming a dinosaur listening to indie rock still.
You are not alone, these guys are amazing, I can’t wait for them to come back to the UK.
Love this band of incredible musical humans ❤️🙏🏻
For a band who have produced countless albums (albeit some of them absolutely weak) it’s pure magic how they remember to play each one! Anton is a musical genius.
remember too play a song is magic ?
Superb performance, Superb sound, Superb filming, no visuals needed when the music itself captivates you, I guess Joel is the only visuals you need when watching a BJM show. Thank you very much for capturing this, i think this is the best live recording ive ever heard and seen from this great band.
That's right man ;)
It's like if The Rolling Stones and Joy Division had an illegitimate son in America who inherited all of their talents.
Forgive me for having never heard of them. Nearly every song made me shed a tear.
Not heard of them either til I played PES2020. I didn't think indie rock still existed as a genre in this era. Fantastic to hear it again. Not heard this kind of sound for what seems like eons.
I’ve only discovered them in the last few months. Unbelievable as I freaking love these guys now!
Next step, follow Anton Newcombe on CZcams then see them live (after covid) it'll be a top 5 gig guaranteed
Great band, really cool music...
BJM is very much a vibe.....a very good one
BJM is one of the few bands left where they actually have a “sound” ... I like the groove of the songs with this drummer ... those cymbals and hats sound awesome
it's a girl on drum , I saw them in september 2018 in France ( levitation fest )
the rest of the band hated her, and treated her unfairly imo
well at least ricky
after watching this several times, as much as I love dan's style, it would have overwhelmed this kind of sound. he is original. anton seemed to want quick and constant and snappy....that's not dan -- thank god.....sorry dan. hope to see you again soon.
@@JosefRosam how do you know this? Mary, please..
This concert is so good it makes me a little teary-eyed. Sara's drumming is so great.
This is about the best drumming I've ever heard. Rarely is it so musical. The antithesis of the Buddy Miles of this world.
Whoever said this should be made into a live album was spot on. The sound quality and the set list are great. I actually had this playing in the background (not watching the concert) and it was quite amazing, If it did become a live album I hope they leave in the guitar tuning etc. between songs.
Matt and his songs are missing badly.
seriously one of the best bands that has ever been
Velvet underground mixed with some early primal scream plus some Beatles vibes. Insane band with some phenomenal music.
In light of Jonestown being a band with their best perpetually yet to come in the most admirably ambitious sense, you've gunned on capturing a seminal performance with this one, Cardinal Sessions. It's so rare to find something as welcomely haunting each time its seen as this.
lol i always think to myself that i need to break the habit of referring to them as "jonestown", so i'm glad to see i'm not the only one. "BJM" is just such a pain to say ahah
@@GettingHyphy if I might confide... I tend to alternate amidst totally feeling you haha
On point though, the difference between seeing them in '08, '12, then '15 here in Aus to watching this recording now just defies me on some semi-ineffable level. It's seeing 10 years hard work at manifest while the trajectory shows no sign of slowing. Assuming you're a fan on the younger side like me; it's just goddamned inspiring. Think of what we could do by the time there are even 40 candles on our cake, let alone Anton's 50-some... one stranger to another, let's carry on taking our shit seriously :)
Finally I have a ticket for next year in Birmingham. This band are special and I missed it all so can’t wait to witness the genius live
Feel so lucky to have seen these guys 3 times in Scotland. Never disappointed. Absolute favourite band
I feel really privileged to live in the same time as this band and to be able to hear them and love them. Anton is so talented and awesome. I just want to see them playing live someday! Much love from Brazil, Anton and BJM 💘
I hope your wish comes true so much. I think it will 💘
espero que façam um show aqui num futuro próximo pós-pandemia!
@@jorelemes tomara!
@@jorelemes Dois anos depois disso, eles tocarão em São Paulo essa semana! Ainda nem acredito!
Absolutely! I feel the same way about Pink Floyd and The Cure as well.. we are lucky
Seen them twice and both times bloody great. The Newcombe wall of jangly sound!
I was at this show - first time seeing BJM live and hopefully not the last!
The audio recording quality is outstanding!
I was there as they say....
You can see me in parts
.... Cracking gig.
You only live once.
Love to all. X
the drummer play so tight, ghost notes & snares sounds perfect. best
A band can wait a lifetime and never get a document as classy as this!
Absolutely fantastic !!
Yeah - Yeah blew my mind!!!
Love this. If Neil Young had half a dozen love children and they formed a band they would sound like this.😀
I'm only 20 minutes into it and it's already so fantastic.
Fantastic show and recording guys!!! damn
...stellar band...actual for real musicians...I really dig how the center stage is for the maracas & tambourines...the lead singer / guitarist rocks...I find myself listening over & over to their live shows...bravo...Cardinal Sessions are usually always good and this is...
I went to the BJM Concert two weeks ago, in São Paulo/Brasil. I can tell that was the best show that I saw live, in my 30 year of life. They are so fuckin dope!
I'm no musician but these guys have the best sound.....fucking magic!
THIS is amazing concert footage, top quality sound & vision. Kudos all you creators that made this. Should be played on a 24/7 loop for this f8cked up world of greed and war. Love will win. BJTM Best live band in the world.
Sublime. Sara Neidorf is awesome on the drums.
Agreed. Huge fan of Dan Allaire, but this is even better (no offense Dan). Anton knows what he's doing.
girl got the groove. improved all the songs. anton on a good day is just as good as it gets
this was an amazing show! My brother and I were visiting from Toronto and were lucky enough that the BJM were performing that night. We met Joel on our way to the venue coming out of a record shop! great guy! We stood front row for the whole show and when joels tambourine came crashing down and broke i scored 2 chimes from it ! you can actually see me at 5:46 of this video! pure magic! THANK YOU FOR FILMING THIS !!!!
This has got to be the best live video of the BJM there is out there. I saw them at the barrowlands in Glasgow around the same time this was filmed, and this video makes me feel like I’m back there again. So so good
You wern't even there, ya mad pube... It was all an illusion
45:58 Cigarrete Hold Psych Drone Rock Technique
Probably the best live show I ever listened to, what a performance - consider me hooked!
I had to watch this today because I’m seeing them for the first time tonight in Philadelphia. This made me even more excited then I already was. They’re so friggen amazing!!
I’m from Philadelphia. I just started REALLY getting into BJM, looked up their tour schedule, and found out I just missed them here several weeks ago.
TEACHABLE MOMENT “MY THIRST FOR GOOD MUSIC KEEPS ME HYDRATED”😊👍🏾
Been a massive fan of BJM for many years now. I love the brilliant melodies they create and beauty of their music. I go into glide mode when I hear stuff like Forgotten Graves and Nevertheless. Just genius levels of music creation. Right up there as one my favourite bands of all time. Thanks for this video, it is perfect in every way.
What a great gift! Anton and the band are in top form.
oh man this is soooooooooooo good! I pray for the day when bjm and dandys tour together again.
Getting Neil Young vibes from Anton in this concert in 2018. Love it. What a great live performance.
I really loved the spontaneous improv guitar jam at the end of Nevertheless. At 1:13:22, Newcombe tells the band "Don't rush!" and does a really great, beautiful jam experiment with only Joel Gion's wood block percussion and some rhythm guitar for accompaniment.
I also loved the way they ended the show. Very Spacemen 3 style. No encore, just jam it out for 10 minutes, get feedback loops going, and leave the keyboard or synth (MD-20) on an infinite loop, and walk off the stage!
I'd love to buy this as a recording. Hopefully, you'll release this as a live album. Absolutely phenomenal.
massive props to Anton.......he has surely tapped into the infinite intangible....
Awesome. Such great camera as well. Really HD. Showed it to my 9 month old baby and she was mesmerised. Better than teletubbies.
Great concert, alaways nice to hear this songs, loving the drummer!
Musical genius! Come to Toronto. Soul music for me personally, everybody gets different vibes from tunes but this guys are my jam. We Control the Jams
What a band!
Ok - I’ve just discovered this because of a dust up at their Melbourne gig. These melodies are incredible. This is beautiful. If anyone can steer me into the right direction for more of their stuff,please comment. Thank you!! This is amazing!
I would probably go with the satanic majesty second request
Bravery Repetition and Noise is the album that made me fall in love with them 15 years ago.
Thank you
Much needed
this is so damn incredible! Thank you so much Cardinal Sessions
This is phenomenal, thank you!!
amazing live and sound. been playing this for weeks. great work. thank you
Thank you so much! Your generosity is inspiring and so appreciated
The second half of the show is utter magic.
Gazes @ Shoes yeah-yeah was mind tingling stuff
More like the entire show.
Twice I've listened to all of this, it's brilliant, well done & thanks for posting......
Bliss, pure unadulterated fucking bliss.
The best 2 hours I've spent in many years! P.S. Hands down the best live version of Pish ever!
pictures & sound are incredible ! thank's for that !! this is Rad !!! BJM best band
I’ve been watching this over and over. Beautiful! Agreed, wish it could be released as a live album.
this whole set is just on repeat for me. insane session and thank you.
Thanks a lot. I saw them in Cologne in 2018, and the sound was abysmal. This one is a nice compensation.
Thank you!! Great work BJM & Cardinal Sessions!! Bravo!!
Every song was played to perfection!
14:29 Hold That Thought
[Verse 1]
If you woulda stayed
I might have wrote this song for you
But as it is I'm sad and blue
Because you've gone away
There's not much left to say
Cuz' there's nothing left for you to do
There's nothing left for me to prove
Because you've gone away
[Verse 2]
And if I close my eyes
I can clearly see your smile
The kind of smile that drives me wild
It never goes away
I have no home
I've got no home
In this world
In this world, awww
Yeah
pure genius...fantastic in every way...thank you for making my day with this gem...!
The ending is AMAZING, the feedback, the drums.... crazy. Mesmerizing.
The feedback is on of the best part of seeing them live it’s so big it makes you feel like your high
@@defoperator7993 I would love to see them again. I finally saw them live in 2018. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Their sound live is so so so good.
I was amazed how good they still are. A lot of bands who have been doing this for a few decades lose their edge, they didn't.
You just got a new subscriber by capturing this marvelous band so beautifully.
Beautiful portrait of Anton and the band. Thanks for capturing this.
My work day soundtrack now! Amazing capture of the soul of this band with the guidance of Antone!
