Fleet Foxes | Pitchfork Music Festival 2018 | Full Set 

Just discovered these guys. I am close to 70 and spend my RU-vid time reminiscing with the bands of the 60’s and 70’s. All I can say is that new music is alive and well as long as this kind of talent emerges once in a while. What a relief to find a band with something to say and a unique way of saying it.

Robin's voice was in top shape here. His vocals are simply sublime.

This should be made into a live album STAT

Finding fleet foxes’s music, is the process of falling in love with yourself & life over & over again Edit: Let’s get this video to 1 million views!

dude on the bass is killing it with the harmonizing and backing vocals, jesus man, he might be the best backing vocalist of all time

If there was ever an 11/10 mix, it's this

I made Robin laugh at the beginning of Blue Ridge Mountains and this is one of the things I'm most proud of. This is the band of my life and finally my dream came true when I saw them live. Their music has been with me on my highest and lowest moments and I think listening their music is one of my top 5 things I love most to do on my life. Thanks for existing Fleet Foxes.

Robins reaction to the false start for third of may was the purest thing I've ever seen

That flawless transition from "Grown Ocean" into "I Am All That I Need" was done so effortlessly

The White Winter Hymnal to Ragged Wood transition is still one of my most favorite things

this is one of the best performances of Mykonos I've heard. I know robin said it's hard to sing. so freaking good

that transition from White Winter Hymnal to Ragged Wood... oh my....

one of the most important bands ever

Since Pitchfork was too lazy to stamp the rest of this incredible set.. 0:15 Grown Ocean 5:04 I Am All That I Need / Arroyo Seco / Thumbprint Scar 10:22 Cassius, - 15:16 - Naiads, Cassadies 17:53 Drops in the River 22:37 Winter White Hymnal 25:00 Ragged Wood 29:56 Your Protector 34:22 Fool's Errand 37:29 He Doesn't Know Why 41:28 On Another Ocean (January / June) 44:56 Blue Ridge Mountains 48:35 Mykonos 53:33 Mearcstapa 58:52 If You Need to, Keep Time on Me 1:02:42 Third of May / Ōdaigahara (with false start lol) 1:08:14 Helplessness Blues 1:13:57 I'm A Fool For You (Curtis Mayfield/The Impressions Cover) 1:18:40 Oliver James (Encore)

You can tell a band is unconditionally adored when a false start gets the biggest ovation of the set so far. (1:02:44)

Not only is this amazing music and an excellent performance, but I couldn't help noticing how the audience sat quietly and took it all in. No fighting, no yelling and screaming. A beautiful, peaceful event.

I wholeheartedly agree with all the comments regarding the sound quality of the recording, Robin's voice and stage presence, and the musicianship of the whole band. However, massive shout out must go to Christian Wargo and his understated, but huge influence, on the band's sound. His high harmonies are so integral to the Fleet Foxes sound. Without them, the band would sound a lot different. Apparently he was solely responsible for the amazing vocal arrangements for the Mykonos coda, one of the loveliest passages of music and harmonies in their back catalogue.

This makes me so happy and also can we say how much more robins stage presence increased like he was so young and awkward beforehand. He’s like a shining star on stage now.

I didn't realize how dark and beautiful the lyrics to Oliver James are until I watched this and heard it for the 1000th time

hey pitchfork, who was the mixing engineer on this? it's ridiculously good

I really have to mention just how incredible the harmony vocals of Christian Wargo is and how well his humble personality fits the band. I'd wish his voice was more noticeable in the studio mixes, because everytime i see them live or listen to a live recording he's just absolutely spot on.

My friend calls this “flower crown cult music” and I honestly think it’s spot on haha. Good stuff though

Never heard his voice sound so on point. Or the whole band to be honest. Crystal clear.

Heavens, I love this band.

Wow this might be one of the best sets they have ever filmed. Fleet foxes you make my soul dance

Can we PLEASE talk about how good Mykonos was

Great to hear so many voices shout "I love you Robin" music to my ears

This band is great. Helped me through some tough times. Ragged Wood, Protector, Blue Ridge Mountains, Helplessness Blues and Oliver James are just so damn good.

I’ve been listening to this band for a little over a decade-currently 28. I cannot stress enough how incredible it is to learn that there is such an unknown connection between all of us.

damn robin must have done some vocal training his technique is better than it used to be and he sounds fantastic

An exceptional band of brothers... as an old guy (61) it warms my heart to see passion and musicality on this scale. Easily as good as any classic band you could mention. The acid test for any act is how they translate albums in a live setting. FF make a monster crowd like this Pitchfork audience seem somehow intimate. Amazing musicianship. Their cover of Curtis Mayfield and the Impression's "Fool For You" was just sublime. Hopefully there are more teenage kids out there starting to want to take the whole thing forward like the Foxes obviously did when they first formed. Not at all hyperbolic to call them North America's finest!!!

Whenever I'm having a bad day, I turn this on and just get super stoked on life, these guys are amazing.

"Let's hear it for E Minor!" Not sure what's better. This incredible band or the random guy yelling shit out.

The best 1 hour and 22 minutes of my life

This is one of the purest performances on youtube, oh my god it's flawless

His voice sounds so big and strong here, like it fills the entire arena. He seems younger and more alive than he did when he was 24.

Christian Wargo absolutely rocks! That bass playing, that voice...

Who’s still watching on repeat in 2021 .

Dear lord, On Another Ocean is a stunner

This band has taken the most impactful toll on my heart than any other in the last 12 years

Fleet Foxes have become the soundtrack to my life. I will never tire of listening to their music.

his voice never cracks, it's so smooth consistently

It's wonderful when live performances are just as good, if not better than the studio album. What talent this band has. Unbelievable.

Still one of the greatest bands I ever had the pleasure of seeing live.

I can't even see phones snapping or filming. The audience are truly living in a moment. Wish I was there.

Keep returning to this video ages after. I've always loved Robin's voice but this is celestial. The older he gets the better he sounds.

Been a fan of Fleet Foxes since 2008, but didn't know this gem of a performance existed until late 2021. Wonderful, beautiful music.

Quite possibly the best performance of Drops In the River I have heard.....The vocals....Wow.....I saw them live in Novemeber and was blown away. There are not enough superlatives to descibe these boys.....they really are something very very special

Just when I thought I loved Grown Ocean to a point I couldn't possibly top, that live performance of that song just made me love it even more. An absolutely amazing set from an incredible band.

I know they've been round for over a decade ,but I just discovered them and I'm so glade I did. Their music takes me to another place.❤

Goddamn I want to these guys live so bad. Props to the sound guy the mix is incredible here.

After wanting to see them live for a good 10 years, I couldn't have asked for a better show. So grateful to have seen this live and be able to relive it here, too!

Third of May/Ōdaigahara❤️😭 is such a beautiful song

seeing them live on edibles made me bawl and shake for like 45 minutes once they played grown ocean it was so intense

Wow!!! I've watched a hundred live FF vids/shows and this is as great as I've seen them, it might even be the best I've ever seen them. Simply flawless and so in the pocket..These guys are the most important band going today, and IMO belong on the same level as my heros from the 60s and 70s, all the big bands and singers, they're that good...

Can we take a second to appreciate all the TRANSITIONS!!!!

You have no idea how much I need this now

I saw them live in a dark bar with a very small crowd in 2008 and they were fantastic. The first LP wasn’t even out yet. I walked away with the Sun Giant EP. They sound even better now. His voice is fantastic. I didn’t recognize him at first without the long hair and beard. What a great band.

Just what the world needed on August 1st

I can't get over the sound quality of this concert. And Robin has never sounded better. Great band, amazing songs, at the top of their game.

This performance has blown me away. I've seen them live 6 or 7 times, but this seems to just be on another level

I NEED, I repeat, NEED to see them live!

The horn section is amazing.

Sound engineer was on point here. Way to kill it dude.

These guys are too good. Honestly, how have i spent 13 years of my life without them. My school did helplessness blues a few years ago and now they are doing it again so i investigated them a bit and now they are definitely one of my top bands.

Robin Pecknold, you are one of the biggest inspirations of my entire life and this performance seems to me like a victory lap to all the demons you've defeated over the years. Been with you guys for over a decade now and I'll never be able to express in words how much your music, passion, and your life story and tenacity behind it all has helped and motivated me. This is what people mean when they say a band changed their life. You guys did. Thank you all, forever

Damn. They're killing it here. One of the best live bands.

I like how the entire audience knows the song just by the opening chord. This was magnificent, thanks Pitchfork!

I love watching this performance. The live versions of these songs just makes it all come to life. I love coming back to this in times of turmoil and when I'm searching for a guiding light.

Simply the best. I believe when it's all said and done, these guys will be remembered as one of the forefathers of modern folk-indie rock. My feeling was the same when Radiohead dropped Pablo Honey and then The Bends soon after, you just knew a legend was born. I feel the same way about The Fleet Foxes. There's just nobody other than, I'd say, Bon Iver, who comes close.

I appreciate how many songs they managed to squeeze into their set. Some bands play the minimum and even end their set early AF....

This is a band that just keeps getting better and better all the time. Been a fan of them since 2008. First watched this video in 2019, at the time I was blown away, thought this was a band absolutely at it's peak, couldn't imagine them getting any better. Just saw them live a few nights ago, at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was easily the best live performance I've ever witnessed

I love how it only takes a twang of the guitar before he plays Blue Ridge Mountains to get the crowd cheering. In their defense, that song *is* really good.

I need a Fleet Foxes gig every week to feel better about life

This is a legendary set and I’m jealous of everyone in that pit

he has such a nice way of pronouncing words. so pleasant sounding

Your Protector has always been a particular favourite of mine but that performance was other-worldly. Absolutely blown away by the vocals and huge props to the production team on this- the mix is phenomenal.

I feel like the live version of Mykonos was even better than the recorded version!

I'm obsessed with the new arrangement they do for 'Helplessness Blues'. It sounds so good lower like that and the whole ending is perfect. I just saw them in concert a few months ago and have been listening to it on loop.

This is a stunning performance. Mykonos was incredibly flawless, Ragged Wood too. Incredible vocals. WOW.

Remember seeing Fleet Foxes live in 2008, seeing them again in September and it can’t come quick enough 🦊❤️

One of the only modern bands I listen to along with the likes of Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco. Foxes are by far my favourite, they're so important to modern music and they're so important to me. Shame all my friends think they're boring

His high notes can be so resonate, sounds beautiful

this is joyous. he's one of the great vocalists of his generation.

'Grown Ocean' has such a uplifting note throughout the song. Especially this live version.

I would be so incredibly proud if I wrote all these songs. Its really an absolute achievment. :D

I swear this concert has the best version of Mykonos I’ve heard. Really beautiful!

What an incredible performance! The mix is perfect and Robin’s voice is pretty fine. The best live perfomnace form Foxes out there!

such a fantastic set. Crack Up was next level and sounds incredible live

Whomever mixed this is definitely a fleet foxes fan and we all won. Great set!

So heavenly. It's crazy how balanced this band his. A touch of bleakness amongst an ocean of light. It's a blissful just representation of how I see my life. Feels so good to have songs like that. Honest and true.

Man the horns during Ōdaigahara were incredible. I am dying to see these guys in concert.

This needs to be made a DVD!!!!!

Never heard of this band so it was a blessing to have it just randomly show up in my feed. Definitely love the vibe.

They’ve never sounded better

So, i want to know a thing: HOW CAN I HAVE THIS ON SPOTIFY??? PLEASE!! JESUS CHRIST I CANT STAND NO MORE

I love the guy who keeps shouting "Robin, i love you", lovely.

Just discovered this band by accident a couple of months ago. When I first heard the song can I believe i just fell into it. It is one of the most beautiful romantic songs I have heard and I am 69. Great music!!

My god, that is a bomb set list

I was honestly most impressed by the bass player/backup vocalist. Great show.
