Baby's All Right |
Brooklyn |
NY | USA | Great high energy Head On/Pill leading into a brief drum segment into an ambient jam with Stu flute playing taking center stage, brought back into high energy Pill. |

Pour House Music Hall, The |
Raleigh |
NC | USA | An older Gizz jam containing high energy snippets in and out of the Pill segment of Head On/Pill and Am I In Heaven?, along with plenty of Cellophane and Hot Water teases and electric jamming. |
2016-05-06 | Cellophane | 2:50 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Grey Eagle, The |
Asheville |
NC | USA | After a high energy performance of the song, the band quiets down after a few fans are kicked out for crowd surfing. Stopping the music, Stu demands to speak to someone about it and asks to bring them back in. |

Thebarton Theatre |
Adelaide |
SA | Australia | Adam Halliwell (of Mildlife)'s beautiful flute playing adds another layer of sound to this already amazing tease and quote filled Head On/Pill. |
2019-08-23 | Murder of the Universe | 2:26 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Riverside Theater |
Milwaukee |
WI | USA | The band prepares for a heavy performance of "Murder of the Universe" only to have technical difficulties with Han-Tyumi, leading to a shortened instrumental performance. |
2019-08-23 | Head On/Pill | 30:26 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Riverside Theater |
Milwaukee |
WI | USA | A notably long "Head On/Pill" with a heavy emphasis on Ambrose's harmonica throughout. |
2019-09-06 | Sense | 7:45 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Bomb Factory |
Dallas |
TX | USA | Following Cyboogie and Acarine, this version starts pretty normal and they let it ride as they tend to do, but then the vocoder comes back out. Sounds like Cyboogie and Sense had a baby. |
2019-10-06 | Loyalty | 3:53 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
TivoliVredenburg Ronda |
Utrecht |
| Netherlands | Fantastic playing throughout and heavy synth climaxing in deep vocoder usage from Joey results in a particularly heavy and "evil" version. |
2019-10-08 | Sense | | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Ancienne Belgique |
Brussels |
| Belgium | Guitar-focused but with a steady drumbeat anchor, accented with Amby's floaty synth work in particular. Joey in fine form, leading mostly. Not yet the full band improv of 2023 Senses |
2019-10-09 | Float Along – Fill Your Lungs | 11:10 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Ancienne Belgique |
Brussels |
| Belgium | Living up to the song’s name, the band drifts gently into a truly spellbinding jam, moving through some gorgeous guitar melodies which then comes down to staccato intertwining interplay. The guitars then open up into some resplendent and contemplative ambiance before slowly and patiently returning to the song. However it is truly the synths that are the star of the show, holding everything together aloft on a warm glowing cloud, guiding the band in serenity from beginning to end. |
2019-10-11 | The Bitter Boogie | 11:24 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Carlswerk Victoria |
Cologne |
| Germany | This energetic version features Ambrose crowd surfing after a soulful "Bitter" call and response. Howlin' Wolf's Back Door Man and Cut Throat Boogie playfulness add to this 11.5 minute boogie. |
2021-12-13 | The River | 13:22 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Brunswick Ballroom |
Naarm (Melbourne) |
VIC | Australia | This show opening, first acoustic, first post-covid version of The River is a major indication of the direction the band was moving in at the time. Unlike any previous version, the first jam section showcases a looser, inspired and creatively liberated band, as it opens up into fun interplay between all members of the band before simmering down to a whisper. The outro jam features strong playing from all and great variations on the composed outro licks with a particularly jazzy flair. |
2021-12-13 | Slow Jam 1 | 6:23 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Brunswick Ballroom |
Naarm (Melbourne) |
VIC | Australia | After starting off in a typically strong manner, the band briefly moves through a rather unique major key jam before returning to the normal mood of the jam. Much like the rest of the show, everyone is listening to each other with intent and improvising with precision to great result. |
2021-12-13 | Her and I (Slow Jam 2) | 14:55 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Brunswick Ballroom |
Naarm (Melbourne) |
VIC | Australia | The first acoustic rendition of Her and I is quite strong, as the jam moves into a rather dark and jazzy jam, with great piano contributions from Ambrose. The band explores this moody space for a few minutes before returning to the song via a rambunctious harmonica solo. The end moves back into that darker mode, before building back up as Stu repeatedly says “Bye bye” to the crowd while simultaneously being unable to stop jamming. A appropriate closer to a fantastic and groundbreaking show. |
2021-12-19 | The River | 16:23 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Princess Theatre, The |
Brisbane |
QLD | Australia | The main jam segment is exceptional on all fronts, from Amby’s deft piano and harmonica playing, to the focused guitar work from Stu, Joey, and Cook exploring multiple themes, to the rhythm section’s pocketed groove. The rest of the song is also quite strong; every section is performed with gusto, from the first section’s great banter and interplay, to the third section’s deliberate fade, to the outro’s swagger of a band at its prime. A definite contender for the title of GOAT River. |
2022-03-07 | The Dripping Tap | 21:26 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Enmore Theatre |
Eora (Sydney) |
NSW | Australia | Still in its infancy, this "Tap" bears witness to an inspired Stu dueting on flute with Cecil Coleman (Body Type) for a little "flute jam." Some nice harmonic interplay and Am I In Heaven?-style vamping ensues before a bevy of proper teases and quotes in the customary energetic run up to the coda. |

2022-04-26 | The Dripping Tap | 20:00 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Gundlach-Bundschu Winery |
Sonoma |
CA | USA | A super punchy and energetic version. Having achieved its now-trademark blistering speed, they further push the boundaries of the budding jam vehicle and take an offramp to (a then-unknown) Hell's Itch jam. A vocally inspired "drip drip" section gives way to the hottest "Tap" peak yet. Cavs is on fire!
|
2022-04-27 | Crumbling Castle | 9:47 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Phoenix Theatre |
Petaluma |
CA | USA | Does “biggest show gap in years” count?
Crumbling Castle had been played literally every couple shows for years. Then the band took a little break from playing it; this is its triumphant return (after Covid paused live music), as the encore for a tiny punk venue in northern California. (2nd Biggest gap for CC, after 2017-11-18) |
2022-04-28 | Sea of Trees | 11:44 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Bimbo's 365 Club |

Frontón México |
Mexico City |
CDMX | Mexico | After the first section, Stu announces, "Alright, now let’s do this extra fast", prompting Joey and Ambrose to yell "Fuck everything", launching into a super fast and high energy River. |
2022-05-06 | The Dripping Tap | 19:50 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Frontón México |
Mexico City |
CDMX | Mexico | This supersized version has lots of quality guitar noodling to extend its length, snappy Cavs, a thrilling "drip drip" stop-start crescendo, and most notably, an Iron Lung jam section |
2022-05-20 | Sea of Trees | 11:41 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Agora |
Cleveland |
OH | USA | Primarily an instrumental, with only 2 sets of lyrics being sung, this 10 minute chill low energy jam contains alternate lyrics and slowed teases of The Dripping Tap and Head On/PIll. |
2022-05-20 | Hot Water | 8:52 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Agora |
Cleveland |
OH | USA | Coming in from Sea of Trees, it seems like just a tease of Hot Water followed by a tease of Shanghai, but Ambrose's chants of "Hot Water" turn it into a chilled jam, that increases in energy halfway though, like a pot of boiling… hot water. |
2022-05-22 | Float Along – Fill Your Lungs | 16:21 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Mr. Smalls Theatre |
Millvale |
PA | USA | Beginning with a peaceful calm typical of the song, the band moves toward an evil jam which will become typical in future FAFYLs. They methodically open a portal leading to a relentless and pummeling descent into hell filled with tight, crunchy and melodic metal guitars, apocalyptic synthwork, and raging harmonica. After about five minutes of face melting delirium, the band suddenly falls away back into the original mellow groove, all the while incorporating and playing with themes from the metal section. |
2022-05-25 | The Bitter Boogie | 21:03 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Higher Ground |
South Burlington |
VT | USA | Spanning 20+ minutes, it contains an extended intro, killer lengthy harmonica jamming from Ambrose, sax jamming and amazing vocal work from Ambrose as well, along with a high energy ending. |
2022-05-26 | Persistence | 11:39 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Higher Ground |
South Burlington |
VT | USA | Ethereal and soaring. The band pulls out the wings and flies through some thrilling and melodious passages including some pristine Pill teasing, making for a truly stellar rendition. |

2022-09-30 | The Dripping Tap | 14:32 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Moreno Beach |
Perris |
CA | USA | A more melodious jam than the Best Kept Secret “Tap” accompanies Stu’s (now customary?) Lake Perris plunge. Amby rips some harmonica, improvises some lyrics, and then implores the crowd: “Can we have our singer back on the stage?” It would be a mistake to dismiss this fun, funny, and creative version as a mere retread! |
2022-10-05 | Slow Jam 1 | 17:41 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
PNE Forum |
Vancouver |
BC | Canada | Highly improvisational and groovy, the jam starts out with percussive guitar work which morphs into some Ice V teasing and Iron Lung quotes. The jam moves into a psychedelic fury which quickly chills out and gets real spacey as Stu picks up the flute. Building up from a guitar, drums and flute trio, a heavy rocking and fast paced jam emerges, which simply rages. After a few minutes, Cavs shifts to a half time beat which transitions smoothly back into the song. “Well that took an unexpected turn” says Joey. |
2022-10-05 | The Dripping Tap | 17:24 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
PNE Forum |
Vancouver |
BC | Canada | A bloodcurdling scream, a hypertensive first jam, a hellish itch, and a Pill to cure all ills; this show-closing jam vessel travels far and wide with its bodily imagery. The Gizzy Boys’ rhythm section lock a tight grip on “drip drip” while Stu, Amby, and Joey rip (especially during the coda jam, holy “Tap”)! |

Philadelphia |
PA | USA | The band slithers towards a Hypertension jam that transforms into Altered Beast, then emerges with a clear Hypertension tease. After Invisible Face, they boom back into EDR to a raucous close complete with spooky background vocals. |

Rabbit Rabbit |
Asheville |
NC | USA | The third of three monstrous October renditions sees the band grooving through Ice V teasing, before moving onto mystical and atmospheric passages, including a great breakdown jam at the 10 minute mark. The keys shine particularly bright in the back half of the jam. The band builds the energy back up to briefly return for a final refrain, before floating back to outer space for a little Magenta Mountain jam to close out. |
2022-10-24 | The Dripping Tap | 18:20 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |

Caverns Above Ground Amphitheater, The |
Pelham |
TN | USA | A behemoth of a version finds itself placed in the middle of one of the most playful sets the band has ever performed. From the get go the band is tight and energized featuring communicative interplay from all members. After moving through the composed section with aplomb, the main jam segment progresses in a manner similar to many electric renditions, ebbing and flowing through many ideas and themes, before cooling down and segueing into Wah Wah. |
2023-06-04 | Wah Wah | 3:15 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Caverns Above Ground Amphitheater, The |
Pelham |
TN | USA | As the band moves into Wah Wah, Stu, Joey, and Amby take a moment to extemporize about the band’s ability to chill hard, and Stu’s inability to chill. Unlike most versions of Wah Wah, this rendition serves as a nice breather before segueing back into The River. |
2023-06-04 | The River | 12:02 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Caverns Above Ground Amphitheater, The |
Pelham |
TN | USA | Upon returning to The River, the band speeds up and moves through an ominous passage before everyone drops out other than Joey. Stu comes in with an anthemic progression to which Cavs and Amby contribute nicely. This resolves into the third section, the ending of which features some nice Wah Wah teasing from Joey and a dramatic transition into the outro. A groovy and funky rendition of the outro provides a nice capper to a rendition of the River of epic proportions. |
2023-06-04 | Most Of What I Like | 5:06 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |

Red Rocks Amphitheatre |

CO | USA | Spanning 15 minutes, with a great segue out of Lord of Lightning and features snippets of other songs. It starts off strong, then fades into a short Dripping Tap segment for about 3 minutes, before going into 2 minutes of Hot Water, then finishing off into Shanghai (including the extended jam) played on guitar, before transitioning into Big Fig Wasp. |

|
2023-06-17 | The Dripping Tap | 30:06 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Remlinger Farms |
Carnation |
WA | USA | An atypical and jammy intro sees Ambrose wander into the crowd, from where he eventually begins the song. Following the first chorus, a lengthy minor key jam emerges that grows increasingly tense and dark. Quotes and teases of Crumbling Castle and Cellophane build up to an intense peak. Returning back to the second jam section, the band weaves Head On/Pill into a jam reminiscent of the Dead-inspired progressions that popped up throughout the summer. The longest version to date, and worth every minute. |
2023-08-10 | Hypertension | 12:40 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Slottsskogen |
Gothenburg |
| Sweden | Sick segues on either end, this jam from the tour-opener is unleashed energy that crackles and sparks. Joey and Stu generate enough electricity to power this to the charts. |
2023-08-15 | Work This Time | 12:08 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
E-Werk |
Cologne |
| Germany | Eschewing Joey’s traditional solo, the band instead opts for a funky and propulsive jam. Over this, solos emerge that evoke the freewheeling jazz fusion of early 70s Zappa and the Allmans. As the band returns to the typical outro progression, through maintaining the jam's unusual feel, Joey takes another raging solo to cap off a fiery and groundbreaking version. |
2023-08-17 | Evil Death Roll | 14:00 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Le Fort de Saint-Père |
Saint-Malo |
| France | A titanic and highly improvisational rendition in three movements. Spellbinding and focused, the band builds up the energy with some Converge teasing, before landing in a Mind Left Body-esque progression with great full band interplay. Returning to the traditional breakdown section, Stu does some incredible work, playing gorgeously melancholic melodies delicately, before building the energy up to close out the song. A must listen for any fan worth their salt. |

Plaza Mayor de El Poble Espanyol |
Barcelona |
| Spain | Coming out of Hypertension and landing halfway through a great sequence of segues, the second jam is where the magic happens. Landing on the wrong key, an atypical jam emerges from the breakdown, with the band modulating back and forth between the key the band landed in and the song's original key to great effect. Following the final verse, they break it down with some Her and I and Presumptuous teases, before executing great segue into Presumptuous. |
2023-08-24 | Kepler-22b | 8:01 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Plaza Mayor de El Poble Espanyol |
Barcelona |
| Spain | In an exemplary version highlighting the band’s improvisational chops on synths, the band rockets to outer space. They tack on a jam to the conclusion of the song propper, grooving out in a dancy, jazzy mood for a delightful five minutes. |
2023-08-29 | People-Vultures | 9:55 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Le Bikini |
Ramonville-Saint-Agne |
| France | An extended intro and an unusual mid song jam make this rendition well worth listening to. During the breakdown, a melancholic guitar duet emerges, which evolves into a raucous jam with some great harmonica work. The band sticks the landing back into the song proper before moving into Mr. Beat. |

Forum Karlin |
Prague |
| Czechia | After a smooth transition out of Ice V, Amby’s harmonica wail throws us into the Cut Throat Boogie. The band plays the first couple of verses straight, which is a stomping good time as always, but the real kicker is the appended blues jam. Amby once again takes the lead with a killer harmonica solo, before the band starts dishing out a dynamic plethora of teases of Flight b741 material, including repeated Sad Pilot riffs, as well as the never-before heard Rats in the Sky, Raw Feel and Field of Vision. |
2024-05-20 | Extinction | 16:56 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Columbiahalle |
Berlin |
| Germany | Opening a set in Berlin, the band starts with an unfamiliar setup of a large synth setup in the middle of the stage. Their playing slowly lets it become more and more obvious what they're going to debut, with low synths and samples strewn of Stu singing strewn throughout. It quickly blossoms into an excellent (and the first!) version of Extinction in a live setting, with yet more samples and synths not seen in Studio. It then slows into the bassline of Gondii, kicking off a two-in-one synth debut special. |
2024-08-15 | The Dripping Tap | 19:47 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Anthem, The |
Washington |
DC | USA | A masterclass in teasing and a very classically gizz approach to The Dripping Tap. A blissful jam opens up after the second chorus, with Antarctica teases and quotes driving the jam towards a rewarding peak. One of the greatest ways to open a tour. |
2024-08-15 | The Fourth Colour | 9:28 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Anthem, The |
Washington |
DC | USA | Cuts off after verse 1 and a slow-building blues jam reminiscent of Daily Blues starts. Eventually changes to a regular Gizz rock jam, then starts alternating quickly between blues jam and rock jam, amping up and culminating in some metal flourishes. After a few more quick and somewhat awkward alternations and a false ending, the jam ends, leaving the song unfinished.

2024-08-15 | Gaia | 11:35 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |

Washington |
DC | USA | The drum solo and bass accompaniment from Joey quickly break from norms. This drum solo is soon transformed into a haunting and spacey jam that builds steadily towards the outro and an epic close to the show. |

NY | USA | Performing the first verse from an inflatable gator raft held up by the crowd, Ambrose delivers impassioned vocals throughout the song. Colorful guitar work winds into Billabong’s iconic slow-down section where, after Stu takes a quick restroom break, the band stick the landing. The first of the “Amby wander” Billabong Valley’s that became a definitive staple of the 2024 NA tour. |

ME | USA | A long and wild jam highlights one of Stu’s now signature crowd-surfing river dips. Alternate Antarctica lyrics from Amby and a plethora of teases - notably 46 & 2 (Tool) for a large duration - soundtrack Stu’s departure and return. A closing Tap to end all closer Taps. |

IL | USA | Cuts off after verse 1 and goes to a creative blues jam, similar to 8/15, but a bit more jammy and explorative and less straightforward. They jam and quote Gila Monster and eventually Mars For the Rich. The jam quiets down and leads to a full stop, then they finish the song post-jam. |

Edgefield Amphitheater |
Troutdale |
OR | USA | A blisteringly fast and wet The Dripping Tap. An intense rain storm rolled in shortly before the band took the stage, concerning Ambrose in particular as he voiced his fear for his life throughout the performance. Out of the second chorus a familiar, yet faster than usual, jam emerges. The band wastes little time re-entering the song proper with a frenetic and energetic finish. Following the song, the show was halted for 22 minutes due to torrential downpour. |

San Francisco |
CA | USA | Fantastic composed section that flows into a "Theia" vocal sample jam, followed by a synth pattern that almost feels like percussion layered over Cavs' drumming into the "Motor Spirit" callback, leading into another percussive synth section with robotic bleep-like noises, crashing into a high-energy finale before calming down -> The Silver Cord. |
2024-11-06 | The Silver Cord | 16:39 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Regency Ballroom, The |
San Francisco |
CA | USA | -> Theia, settles into an intro jam with Stu singing "The Silver Cord" through a vocoder, accompanied by orchestral samples. This leads into an ethereal composed section, followed by a darker, more intense passage with vocal samples layered over strong drumbeats from Cavs. The music then shifts into an entirely different sound that feels like alien dance music, with static-like synths at moments, ending in an ambient section where percussive drumming fades into Set. |
2024-11-06 | Set | 17:34 | King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard |
Regency Ballroom, The |
San Francisco |
CA | USA | -> The Silver Cord, the bassline fades in alongside chipmunk-like vocal samples. The bass fades out, then returns with a strong drop into the composed section featuring a disco drumbeat. After a fiery composed part, with Ambrose adding quotes from Pump Up the Jam, they build to a huge drop followed by various synth textures. Joey then switches to guitar, Lucas on bass, and the funk kicks in. They then ease into an ambient funk section with bass bombs from Lucas, before one last drop and -> Chang'e. |
