DEVIN TOWNSEND & IHSAHN PERFORMED TOGETHER

 Monday, August 8th, 2011 at 2:30pm by

The only bummer resulting from The Devin Townsend Project’s totally sexcellent Deconstruction is that the fans’ collective fantasies of seeing the whole thing performed live with all the incredible guest musicians will never, ever be a reality. Even if you had an unlimited budget with which to transport and house all the necessary players, scheduling the thing would be a total nightmare.

But we may get to see the album performed with its guests piecemeal…

For example: the below footage of Ihsahn joining Devy on-stage during a festival set in Portugal this past weekend to perform — duh – “Juular,” the Deconstruction track on which he appears. This is one of those moments where any reasonable person would have killed to be present… so thank heavens for cell phones with cameras in ‘em!

    Too much awesome!!! :-0

  • Dingas McCloud

    Yes, awesome.

  • Strapping Young Lad

    I’ve never heard of this Devy fella, but he sounds pretty neat! Almost like Dave!

    If Ihsahn or Duplantier show up when I see him in October, I just might wet myself

  • huntermc

    Hopefully he’ll add some more tracks from Deconstruction to the set list by the US tour.

    Meh, I’d rather just see Ihshan playing a show than performing with Devy. I’ve already seen Devy, it was fun, but I need to see me some Ihsahn.

    I was there. Actually, it was nothing special. But Ihsahn and Devin’s concerts really kicked ass. (Ihsahn was even better than Opeth)

    Gojira and Devin Townsend Project will both be at Soundwave Revolution in Australia, and in the interviews, neither artist said they were against the idea of doing their two collaborations (Of Blood and Salt and Sumeria), so hopefully I will have something to show you in 7 weeks!

    I was hoping you misspelled Anneke van Giersbergen.

    Been there, Devin’s concert was the best over the two days festival. Sweet!
