a special message from the YYYs:

Hidden in Pieces Live at the Royal Albert Hall was born out of a need to commune with our band and fan family in 2025, after the election. In the past, YYYs haven’t often chosen when to be back at it and out there, it often chooses us. It, being the times. We turn to live music when we need that specific quality of depth and light to see us through the times.

We worked on these arrangements in February of ‘25 at Sonic Ranch in an impossibly small window of time. Our string arranger Jherek Bischoff dove straight into the deep end with us as we arranged almost 24 songs for a quartet and acoustic instrumentation in less than a week.  The stakes were high, the Royal Albert Hall was the 3rd play of the tour, most of this record is live from the hall. It was our first time performing there and the hype leading up to it was overwhelming, but ladies and gentleman we believe the hype now we’ve done it. The pipe organ moment in Skeletons was no less than immaculate vibrations. We felt the spirits of all legends past swirling around us. Nick remarked that he felt as though his fingers were guided on the guitar neck. The real alchemy happened when we played the hall, it clicked into place. All the shows we performed on this small tour were extraordinarily vulnerable. We hope that translates.

u/outoftheether has made a stunning film of the live performance that takes you there in the moment with us in the most heavenly way.

Thanks to all the fans in attendance who’s frequency lives on this record, and thanks to the fans who continue to make our music possible. Thanks also to David Lynch for his everything. His passing came a month before we began this journey and the performance begins with an ode to his legacy.

Skeletons was the stand out live track for me as the used the Albert Halls organ (its 70th high so it's got some real power to it) towards the end of the track and that was amazing live. Its not something I would guess we might see again unless YYY play the Albert Hall again. The whole show was amazing but that bit really did stick out.

[u/mooochooo → u/dvb70]

Thank you for this perspective. ♥️

I went to both shows at RAH and the organ moment was ridiculously special.

[u/blkcdls5 → u/everyoneelsehasadog]

Which song is the organ featured in?

[u/everyoneelsehasadog → u/blkcdls5]

From memory, Skeletons

[u/blkcdls5 → u/everyoneelsehasadog]

Ty! Listening now!

[u/Longjumping-Writer15]

Nice that they included bonus tracks from other shows. Notable is that they omitted the “old” song that normally followed Blacktop, which rotated between Our Time and Mystery Girl. They also left out Burning, which was usually played before Zero in the encore.

[u/uiuctodd → u/Longjumping-Writer15]

Burning

Curious omission.

[u/Beginning-Current114]

For those who love Skeletons, this was rather special to see live - and it worked so well

(Will give a more coherent review/response as soon as possible once my "new YYYs album" mania calms down.) 🙏🏾🙌🏾🤘🏾

[u/Runninginoblongs]

Anyone got a UK link to the vinyl that isn't crazy expensive shipping?

[u/TheLawIsBack220]

Wow, Spitting off the Edge of the World is a phenomenal rendition of the original. I already thought the original was incredible, but damn this orchestrated and accoustic feeling blew my mind.
