Explosions In The Sky - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

I haven't been this happy to see something in my subscriptions in a long time.

Clicked on this the moment I saw it. How have I not seen this until now? I'm so happy to see this. EITS is a group that means a lot to me. They were the first band I heard at the age of 13/14 outside of any mainstream radio context. At that time I didn't even think an underground context like that existed and that blew me away., sending me off on a treasure hunt for music for the first time in the early days of file sharing and Myspace and the like. They were also the first group I'd ever heard play without words or singing and I still remember being baffled by that idea even though it doesn't seem so strange now. "Your Hand in Mine" still hits hard for me, since I think about how it helped me with a lot of inner grief and loneliness at that age what with having no friends and generally feeling distant from everyone around me. EITS fixed the hole in me and now I'm a lot better as a person. Essentially, I just wanna say, thank you for being there.

their concert is one of the happiest moments of my life.

I first saw them live in 2001 and i was blown away. I've loved them ever since. This is nostalgia juice for me

One of the best performance of Explosion In The Sky. I watched it over and over again. I came back to listen it again before the end of 2022. I didn't realize this video was from 6 years age. Time is running so fast....

Everything about this band is so good.

2022 and still always coming back for this amazing performance!

Compositions are insanely complicated and its takes ages to get so precise. One mindblowing band!!!

true musicians, true artists. really happy to know there are bands like this still around.

I teach at an inner city high school in New Jersey and play EITS every morning while the students enter the class while I slow clap.

These guys are from another planet

I seen and got to meet these dudes before they played and I was like a complete fan at 17 years old, never forget that gig. Now I'm 31 and seen a lot of bands but that's still one of my favourite gigs ever. What a band.

I saw them live in Houston. I wept the whole time. So moving. So beautiful.

Saw them in concert last August, totally recommend it, the light show absolutely adds to the experience.

They are the best. Thanks KEXP as always. Thank you again from México

Esta música calma el alma y aclara los pensamientos, el Post-Rock es lo mejor!

These guys never disappoint, love it.

Kinda wild knowing that I've been listening to these guys for 16 years.

... for me, this is an extraordinairy band. Thanks a lot for the swinging wonderlust soul music! Keep on groovin' on planet earth! Love and peace to all of you guys!

The only band who can move me to tears, such an amazing feeling.

The whole band seems like they're musicians, Pure musicians.

Great pleasure to see them perform. Love from Turkey!

man this was exciting when they came out with this new music. seeing them in concert is one of things i want to do most once pandemic lockdown is over

WOW SUCH a powerful performance! I love the Dulcimer!!!!!!!!!

They're so professional!

The sound of that floor Tom is amazing same with the snare holy crap thanks explosions in the sky for the beautiful music

Realmente muy buenos!!! Un gran viaje con sus rolas!! Amo esta banda !!! Saludos desde mexico

Interesting sounds. Original... great song titles too! Hello from England ✌

I found this band in 2016 and instantly fell in love with. I used to listen to them without really knowing anything about them. It's so nice to actually see you all and hear you play 💖💗

Will never get tired of these guys

Best <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1795">29:55</a> mins om my day. That was awesome.

This version of Wilderness sounds way way better to me than the one on the album. Somehow more organic and much more emotional.

Two things that I really love; explosions and KEXP! Thanks!

Awesome to see global locations noted by fans. Love from a Hawaii boy in Indiana!

Your group speak volumes about what you are !!!

Your music really touches me, makes me feel being loved~ thanks from Hong Kong💕

Their performance at Royal Oak in 2011 was absolutely spiritual. Cold Dead is one of my absolute all time favorite albums. Incredible

I had a really shitty day, then I watched this and I'm feeling better now.

followed this band for 4 years or so. but ive recently learned about kexp and have been finding all this kick ass music on kexp so its cool to see post rock show up on here rock on

I weep when seeing them live

Where have you been all my life?! This is truly incredible!!!

Un très grand groupe, de si beaux moments vécus grâce à eux. Je suis si heureux de connaître leur musique, de l'avoir auprès de moi comme un doudo, et de la diffuser et partager le plus possible !! Merci à vous !!

Absolutely was blown away by the performance. I'd heard, only once before, of the hammered dulcimer; unfortunately, I cannot recall where. i totally enjoyed the performance. Thank you to both Explosions In The Sky and KEXP :) " The hammered dulcimer probably originated in the Middle East about 900 A.D. and is related to the much older psaltery. It spread from there across North Africa and was brought into Europe by the Spanish Moors during the 12th century A.D. It is possible that hammered dulcimers were played even earlier than this in Ireland, where they were called "tympanons." Throughout the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the dulcimer remained a popular instrument in both eastern and western Europe. It was known by different names in different countries. For example, the dulcimer was called a "tympanon" in France, a "hackbrett" in Germany, and a "cymbalon" in Hungary." Source: Encyclopedia Smithsonian

They sound so good in person!!!!

They are not in it for the money. Great stuff, very unique

Thanks for the upload!

Great job KEXP, as always - Love from France

Awesome driving music!

Me encanta este canal, no es lo mismo escuchar la música de las bandas solo con el fondo de una imagen, a ver cómo crean esa música con los instrumentos y conocer a las personas que hay detrás. Me agradaron mucho estos dudes.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="994">16:34</a> "People who don't know us by name, know us by sound" That was me for 6 years lol.

Seeing how the magic is made in no way takes away from this magic

Never heard them before. OMG! Just brilliant.

Great interview. Great band. Props for this all around.

Hey KEXP team. Can you please add at which point in the video the songs start? I would be more that happy, if you added this start time thingy in the description. Greetings from Slovenia :)

Essa banda é foda demais! Acompanho a banda desde o álbum The Earth is not a dead cold place. E poxa, só me apaixono mais pelo som desses caras. Viajo muito com a melodia das músicas. Com certeza essa é a minha banda instrumental favorita!
