Big Thief - “Black Diamonds” (Live at The Bunker Studio) 

God, I freaking love the screams in the bunker releases

queen of screams

Buck's guitar work is truly mindblowing sometimes

this. video. is. insane. the energy is unreal, the screaming is life-giving. this band is... absolutely incredible.

Holy fuck I'm losing my shit over how good they are. What

Try NOT to have a big, stupid grin while listening to this

not many bands going these days can touch these guys.

This band is worth permanent hearing damage

"Diamond" is the operative word, rare, precious and beautiful with a serious cutting edge.

shot out to the drummer's background vocals

BUT I COULD NEVER LEAVE HIM!!!!!

angels on earth, truly.

best band ever you guys are insane love your music

i love how low adrienne's voice is in this

This is everything I like about this kind of music. I-IV-V. Two guitars, bass, drums, vocals. Transcendent.

Lenker is more powerful than ever.

Fantastic, we look forward to seeing you in New Zealand :)

I get chills listening to this song so beautiful thank you Liz for showing me this beautiful

Just came across these guys wow

Possibly the best song from "Capacity", their album from 2017. So glad that I`ve already seen them live in Cologne twice - the first time in March 2020, one week before the Corona lockdown in Germany!

Absolutely love the extended ending on this as opposed to the album. I have the album and I love this song. This version is great. Why does it seem they are so intense in the bunker?

I love your musik! Wir are amazing.

i love this band

Love Big Thief and this is my favorite song and cattails

What a band!

Sublime !

She’s like a modern John Lennon and the magic is in this group, just like how none of the Beatles were quite as good without the others, it’s a rare thing they have

This is a very good comment section. Thank you!

Just found out about you guys. Love you already!

I have the album and I find this rendition to be preferable.

Thank You Big Thief for standing up for justice and the oppressed.

🖤

woah hello!!

So much comin' in I do not know where to begin I just follow the lead you're pulling And I get lost in your trail So much more to tell You just ask me if I'm doing well But I do not know what the hell I just swallow hard In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling Terrified of what your love's revealing So much you can see Should I let you make a woman of me? Should I let you take the mystery from me? See the inside of my room at night? Sometimes you will find Things I do not know how to leave behind I've been grappling with my mind I've been stuck inside a jail In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds In your eyes, black diamonds I could die, black diamonds And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling Terrified of what your love's revealing The cold of winter warms my blood, and he's hot like a bed of steel He finds his peace of mind in the rivers and the whip-poor-wills I could follow close behind and slowly disappear But I can never leave him, I can never leave him I can never leave him, I can never leave him I can never leave him, I can never leave him In his eyes, black diamonds I could die And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling So much more to do Come on, let me make a man outta you I could gather you, and you tell the truth You could cry inside my arms You could cry inside my arms like a child You could cry You could cry

I owe you this since I was hooked by at least ten seconds in... And then I thought hey this is really groovy, it can't last... Then: Hey wait!: my daughter and I have a theoretical band (the cry babies) that's supposed to write the next white album so this song abides dude... Thank you!

Supernatural

Listening to this, I would assume Bob Dylan is one of their influences.

Sigh

Skin on skin

this reminds me of plastic ono band, but better

Dude I love this performance and was a great instance of something I was thinking about one night about like the endless possibilities and presentations of a song there can be depending on so many different components and people involved and it made me emotional watching this to think that if Adrianne held onto black diamonds for another album instead of getting it recorded during the Capacity sessions that we would have completely lost that rendering of it and how sad that would be to not have experienced it the way I was able to those times I first head it and how impressionable and vulnerable it made me feel. Does that make sense

On par with Fiona Apple for the vocal guts

they looked right at each other black diamonds
