Beirut Cheap Magic Inside. Complete 69 minutes 

10 years later I’m coming back and this is still pure gold…sounds crazy but me finding Beirut as a teenager is part of who I am today….

Every time I rewatch this video, my reaction is still the same: stunned with the awesomeness, the wholesomeness. The BEST!!

I'm not sure if truly adequate words can describe how stunning this entire video is. What piece of pure art.

1:30 - a call to arms 2:19 - nantes 6:45 - a sunday smile 11:20 - guyamas sonora 16:14 - la banlieue 19:18 - cliquot 24:56 - the penalty 30:37 - forks and knives "la fete" 34:25 - in the mausoleum 38:00 - un dernier verre 4 2:00 - cherbourg 47:30 - st. apollonia 53:09 - the flying club cup

this makes me wanna live

i still come back to this performance. Music tastes have evolved, and so Have I. But this will always have a place in my heart.

2021 and this beautiful performance still finds a way to appear in my feed again and I'm so grateful that it does, music and magic and love, art.

If I had been that person jogging past I probably would have tripped and died out of amazement when seeing one of my most beloved musicians playing in a park.

It blows my mind that this was made in 2007. Fifteen years later....it's still amazing.

when i listen to their music i keep forgetting that other kinds of music do exist

This video will be seen in 20 years and we'll be saying "it was different back then" and "real music was produced back then" while other people will see it in 80 years and won't believe how beautiful and gorgeous it was back in the 10's.

Amo todas as músicas do Beirut, essa é uma das minhas preferidas!!

2007 baby, the very essence of that time & place. Nostalgia distilled..

still here

Vincent Moon has done more for indie folk music of the 2000s than any other person. This is brilliant.

I'd forgotten how gorgeous Un dernier verre is. Such a calming lullaby

fucking GENIOUS ! comment peux tu etre aussi JUSTE !

1:30 - a call to arms 2:19 - nantes 6:45 - a sunday smile 11:20 - guyamas sonora 16:14 - la banlieue 19:18 - cliquot 24:56 - the penalty 30:37 - forks and knives "la fete" 34:25 - in the mausoleum 38:00 - un dernier verre 4 2:00 - cherbourg 47:30 - st. apollonia 51:29 - "Scenic World" :-) haha! 53:09 - the flying club cup

2022 and I’m still here

I am from Nepal ! and we have similar instrument used in our religious purposes ! it's called sankha ! ! i this piece is a master ! love and respect to Beirut 's music !

Wow...I can listen to this forever.

a great 69 minutes! still watching in October 2017

Here in Brazil we need guys like these. Stunning music.

This is what heaven sounds like.

This is perfect, thank god for Beirut. Zach Condon is genius

it's an outrageous shame this doesn't have more views. it's so great.

I miss this Beirut

This is the best thing ever made as a Take Away show.

im from there. its amazing watching him walkin in and out of that world musically

his voice and the melody makes me dream back to Europe. So beautiful!

The triols that the accordeonplayer uses at 30 minutes to start La Fête are so genius and cheerfull that every time I hear it a little butterflie starts crawling up my heart in the same way. This song is brilliant on your record, but this little change by the accordeonplayer makes it mesmerizing. A huge smile on my face :-)

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

After my dog Midas ❤️ deceased everything inside me felt so cold and every day felt cold to me. But your music gave me so much warmth back and gave me my joie de vivre back. So the title magic is more than justified 😉

Una gran muestra de que cuando existe magia, no necesitas grandes producciones para compartirla con el mundo..

Pure Art, just one of the greatest things I've seen and listen to

His singing while walking down the stairs!! I'm in love!

Each single one of you being here, I wanna tell you that I love you. Don't care where you are, how you are, how you're coping with life, how you identify, where you find joy in it.... I love you.

Zanch Condon has in his voice: harmony, beauty, peace and wisdom Beirut is the best!!

Best thing I’ve seen in years !!

Podría escucharlos toda mi vida sin cansarme, en especial, Cliquot 19:20...

Loved it all. It's all about love, music and life. It teaches you how to pray and how to love. It shows you the way to find your soul and the true part of yourself.

A beautiful film with beautiful music. Greetings, cheers & congratulations from the Netherlands!

This is pure gold. Amazing

"Nantes" 02:20 "A Sunday Smile" 06:54 "Guyamas Sonora" 11:23 "La Banlieue" 16:30 "Cliquot" 19:19 "The Penalty" 25:14 "Forks and Knives" 30:38 "In the Mausoleum" 34:28 "Un Dernier Verre" 38:08 "Cherbourg" 42:07 "St. Apollonia" 47:34 "Scenic World" 51:29 :-) haha! "The Flying Club Cup" 53:10

My smile doesn't stop at my face when I watch this.

Magical. Couldn't stop watching.

Esto si es mágico! Muestra que realmente cualquier lugar tiene potencial para hacer arte, y que los lugares cotidianos hacen a esta mucho mas hermosa y cercana. Para mi este es el mejor video del tipo A take away show. Amo a Beirut!! Viva Zach!! :D

this absolutely amazing work inspired me few years ago to write a poetry book.

OH . MY . GOD Thankyou thankyou thankyou SO much for allowing this film to be distributed. I feel humbled to be watching it. It truly is an honour

Mesmerizing, I had to watch it 5 times in a row! A true artwork

I am just wondering, is it a LaBlogotheque video? Or was it intentionally? Because the way it's done, it reminds me strongly of that. And I am also wondering if anybody could tell me what equipment do ´these guys use to record the sound and the video? It would be awesome to know that :) THx!

I also hear a music box Scenic World in there. :> They are so incredible. I am speechless when it comes to their talent, gah. The feelings are enigmatic, inscrutable, I don't even know.

Love it. Anyone with the actual DVD who is able to rip an HD version? And post / publish it somewhere? It's worth preserving the highest quality possible.

Love it 2024

This is pure magic...!

Eu amo essa banda💘 Aguardando o retorno da paz e de nova turnê. Por favor voltem ao Brasil com essa dose forte de talentos!🙏🏾💋🫀

Desde la primera vez que los escuche me enamore, su voz tan acorde a las notas me hace vibrar y sus letras tan bellas.. BEIRUT🎼 ejemplo de perfección y arte puro. 💚💛💚

still showing this video to people here in china. i wish you knew how many people love you and your work. and to the band as well

Genial!!! Música que vem do fundo da alma! Saudações do Brasil!

I cant help but play this every day . It enriches me. Fills me with joy and warmth and liveliness.

Wonderful Video, This album is a masterpiece, A complete masterpiece. 🏆

what beautiful melodies...in accordion with your acoustics.....

This is truly is a magnificant piece of art! This album speaks so sweetly to my heart

Wow, never seen this all the way through :D

Best indie music video/movie ever. Anyway, what city is this?

The best music video ever made. It's fuckin' profound with (or without, perhaps...) a touch of wine. Excuse the language. X

and then life was all good again, love u zach condon

Is there anyway to get this on a DVD? I want to keep this forever.

genial amo este álbum... gracias :D y muero por verlo en vivo!!!

is that Ed Droste from Grizzly Bear singning Cliquot?

Just beautiful....it proves that magic does exist :)

Amazing movie and thanks for posting it but so many commercials 😞

this is beyond brilliant

This warms my soul

Can I simply say that this band is genius!?! There are few musicians that do such good music that can lift your souls up anytime. Beirut is one of those few.

I don't know were I am, what to say when I listen "Nantes". Love it all :)

The idea is that they need no money to make this beautiful magic, and not that the magic is cheap :)

Gracias por compartir esto, maestro

We need more artists and media companies that do things like this.

I keep tearing up when I hear the gentle and fragile St. Appolonia...

thank you thank you i love you so much for uploading this...so lucky to find it once again... THANK YOU! :)

Well if the Alpacalypse is in 4 days... I'm going out to the cliff side with a boom-box and a CD rip of this... And I'm going to watch the world burn with class.

even though I've seen it hundreds times, but still, bless you for posting this on youtube.

Uma das formas mais bonita e criativa de fazer um vídeo. Zach sempre em meu ♥!

True and pure talent. Unbelievable.

It was just AWESOME! and I've realized that the fact that we can't understand some of the lyrics that Zach Condon sings, it's because his voice is so awesome and hot that the words just melt down out of his mouth! (not homo). Beirut rocks!!!

Beautiful ... magic ... amazing ... words aren't enough to describe this ...

Ooh, Ed Droste from Grizzly Bear sang with them! His voice is lovely!

simply like the way of playing n enjoying n loving music

i have to say, it so soooo magic, and the beginning, is exclusive, wonderful, i had eargasm

Genio! Genio! Genio!! único, magnífico!

It just gets more beautiful.

Despite the name, the magic hidden inside is definitely not cheap. Love Beirut, my favourite band.

Ah! Ah! The way of Zach to play Scenic World make me cry! love it love it love... ah!!!!

Es para escucharla mil veces... coincido, son una gran banda =)

Escuchando desde MEXICO awesome

It's called "Le Moribond / My Family's Role in the World Revolution". Beirut did a version of it, I think it was a bonus track on The Flying Club Cup. Just search it on RU-vid, it's one of my favorite songs by them :D

Buenisimo! Los queremos de vuelta en México

a lot lot lot love and respect from Bangladesh. . beirut is only something I can hear all my life
