This performance will always be my favorite performance. …from any band, anywhere…ANYTIME. For all time!

i bought my first single when i was 8 in 1964, and have worked in the music business my entire life and i would like to say this is the best band performance i have ever heard.

I flew from South Africa to New York to watch them live a year ago, worth every penny! Still here in 2020

Finally. A real human. I watch this video multiple times a day

Back a year later still one of the best live performances online

This guy had such an impact on my body cells that he still randomly shows up in my dreams. One.Of.A.Kind. 🙏

Dear God that “Long Flight” ending! So happy to have found this performance. Been watching it here and again for a little more than a year now.

"I dated a girl once, her favorite color was clear"

There’s just too much to say about this performance. I stumbled on to these guys randomly, but when I did it was a curious ear worm. I had to investigate there interesting sound. So eventually I come upon this performance and wow, I have too much to say. Sam oozes with emotion and it’s encompassing. Every word every scream puts you directly into the heart and soul of the song. The band is amazing as well but they are two separate entities that’s complement each Other harmoniously and would be nothing with out the other . The music is rhythmic and somber. Longing, lonely and cold, as somehow to keep a glimmer of hope. The synths are dark and romantic, the bass is optimistically pulsing as if to keep the balance between the two.Sam keeps the intensity and emotion that pulls you in. I can watch this once a day for the rest of my life and I first saw this in 2013

I love this because it shows Sam really going for it before the audience was responding. He gave it all to a crowd that wasn't responding that much - even though it was their THIRD show of the day. Much love and much respect. (From a fan who only caught on after "Singles" and is just now catching up on the backlog.)

this rendition of "long flight" - just wow

This is my happy place.

Think I read Sams account of these times while he suffered his way through these performances while having a mangled knee. I've been there. Cant imagine. Heroic.

This concert is amazing on so many levels. The song " Inch of Dust" hit me on such a viseral level as well as the others. It's like Sam can read my mind it's crazy but then again we all experience a multitude of feelings but to express it as succinctly and beautifully as he does is an art, performance wise when I tear up, to smiling and wonder and joy and love. That is a prodigy.

The best performance of anything I’ve ever seen. It seriously feels like Sam thought he would die immediately after this set and therefore to give it everything he’s got.

still (and nerver get tired of) loving this performance! It makes me cry every time.

This is the DEFINITIVE Future Islands live performances next to their Letterman performance of Seasons that launched them to the next level.

Composition, interprétation, qualité sonore, rien de ne laisse indifférent. Un petit goût de nostalgie qui se savoure hors du temps

10 minutes in and he is sweating profusely due to his amazing performance

Praying for an eternity where I’ll be able to somehow experience moments like this performance in person.

This is *my* soul

got every one of their records 2010 onwards, they always deliver buy them all if you like what you hear, they are a great band

One of the most amazing sets ever. Saw them live a few years ago and was blessed with just as good of a show.

[Verse 1] A part of me - you have A part of me - you hold Apart from me - you stand And there's parts that you have stole [Verse 2] You collect them in the cupboards Like the pieces of a puzzle And nest just like a mother In the dampness of your sweater And it's never put together As I've watched you from the window Behind the curtains, winter Moves slowly as a tether To wrap around you tightly As lovers will in meadows To fall in love with shadows Where the snow is all but melted And it's never put together It's never put together Behind the curtains, winter Falls slowly as a feather [Chorus] A part of you - I have The part of you - I hide A part of you I hold The part you left behind [Refrain] Call on me, I'll be there always And call on me I'll be there always And call on me I'll be there always Call me I'll be there always (Ooo-oo-oo-oooo) Call me I'll be there always (Ooo-oo-oo-oooo) Call me I'll be there always (Ooo-oo-oo-oooo) [Chorus] A part of me - you have A part of me - you hold Apart from me - you stand And there's parts that you have stole See Future Islands Live Get tickets as low as $46 You might also like Vireo’s Eye Future Islands Swept Inside Future Islands Seasons (Waiting on You) Future Islands A part of you - I have The part of you--I hide A part of you I stole The part you left behind

After suffering a miscarriage and trying to get my life back together after this pandemic.. this band has helped me pull through. Thanks for uploading this, positive vibes for all!

My entire mood for this video was the guy on 32:44

The best of the best. I really want to see them live.

This is the best Future Islands performance filmed I have seen - beautifully filmed and in gorgeous black and white. Thanks so much for sharing this!

34:57 somehow even more intense than the studio version. Probably my favorite section out of any of their songs. To sleep! By light of you I can't endure, in light of things I can't ignore, in spite of all the roses thorns, it's hopeless works, it's hopeless words." chills every time. You can tell Sam was especially feeling it this performance aswell. When I day dream I imagine myself going back to this show with a time machine so I could experience it in person

Three shows in a day... good work

I love how Samuel feels the music in his hear and soul.

Thank you for posting this. The original video was taken down years ago and I couldn’t find it anywhere about 3-4 years ago. This entire set has such great memories that come with it for me. I can’t thank you enough for posting this. Thank you, sincerely.

I had never heared this first song 'Inch of Dust' before. It just blew me away, not just the song but also this performance, this charisma from the signer. Amazing !

Their bass player has definitely gotten better. He's great here but he is exerting some more effort here it seems. He seems to play more effortlessly now.

ALWAYS LOVE HIS PASSION MAN..💛

This group is so underrated. How can you not like this performance? Sam is the best frontman alive today…easily

Amazing live performance!!!

Holy shit....the day I became a Future Islands fan, it was through a short piece on Pitchfork (love'em, hate'em) that had embedded video footage of Inch of Dust...I've not been able to find that story in the P4 website to save my life, but I'll be damned if it wasn't this performance...thank you for sharing....beautiful

Love this concert, and I’ve always loved shopping at Amoeba. The black and white and lower resolution lend themselves to their style and the venue. Thanks for posting!

Unique voice ! Quite remarkable and soulful. Great show.

For me FI its Kind of a League of its own...there no words to describe them..they are one of those type of unique bands.

Conocí a Future Islands en el 2012 y este sigue siendo de sus presentaciones favoritas, gran gran banda

This is amazing. Thanks for uploading. It's really cool to see that Sam's performance has always been this intense and sincere and not just acting up for the crowd. I have bought all their albums and seen as much as I thought there was to see of them on YT. I loved them before I saw this - I love them even more now. :)

He is so amazing. A modern-day Ian Curtis

Beautiful

I keep coming back to this. It's not a flawless performance but there's something about it resonates with me so strongly. What a band.

This performance has it all!

This is fucking beautiful

Thanks for reuploading! I didn't realize until I saw the upload date - the original has been taken down or unlisted. I watched this show dozens of times in 2016-2018. The performances of these songs are incredible. Its back up on Amoeba's website but just to be safe I ripped it so I never have to panic again. Glad these guys are still pumping out new music. I was able to see them in 2022ish and they were great, but the 2010-2015 period seems like an intimate time to catch them live. Smaller venues and smaller catalogue of songs - great recipe for a show you'll never forget.

Holy shit thank you! I used to love this video, when it was taken off YT. Thanks!

Hate that only a few are dancing and singing! I'd be bouncing everywhere and I have a broken leg!!!😣🖖💕

You have to just love the passion ... Makes you a fan from the ghecko

They just played Beach Foam last night. Future Islands Concert Setlist at The Observatory North Park, San Diego on September 2, 2021 | setlist.fm

If you don’t get goosebumps from this…you don’t have a pulse

This video made me a future islands fan too! Thanks for sharing!

Me fascina demasiado escuchar esta versión de Long Flight. Las pausas que ejecuta y los cambios de voz son increíbles

They are more polished and refined as a band today but fuck me wish I got to see them in this raw ass stage

and im probably reading too much into it but i always love how Sam changes "just cause you needed a hand" in Long Flight to "its cause you needed a hand" toward the end. to me, its like he goes from judging the person for cheating to realizing how he also takes responsibility for leaving for 4 months on tour and how he can understand a situation that he once suffered through.

Thank you for the upload, I just keep coming back to this heartfelt performance

The first song makes me want to sob Jesus

25:52 especially in b&w, a little Brando here 💪

This is gold

Siclky sick it's so sick.

So fucking classic

So great

I've known of this band for a while, but just stumbled across this performance. Incredible stuff pretty much, thanks for posting it up. "In The Fall" is excellent👍

Vireo's Eye best sound balance. Studio recordings are too stiff, unlive, and the singer volume is too low. But this is excellent. And audience is crazy too :) Besides, the singer almost smoked his soul out of his body! That is unbeatable performance!

he's so cute 😩

Amazing performance!

I will never be the same after witnessing this show.

Damm, that performance of Long Flight is beyond epic

thanks for uploading!!!!

Still one of my favs

This voice hits me like a Concorde in full speed

sam makes me so sentimental

Buena música 🎶 👌 👍 😎 👏 😉

Thabks so much

EPIC 👏🏽

Peter from Forgetting Sarah Marshall favorite band for sure

Sam is a god among men

If this band can’t make you move you are dead ☠️

Sam spits truth.

Wow!!

The crowd

Someone broke count choculas heart

People can do whatever they like. But seriously how are some capable of watching this performance stood still with their arms folded? x

Dopiero kolega mi sprzedał ten stream. Zajebiste.

Sou um homem simples, se tem future islands, tem like.

❤❤

savage

No Adds!! ❤

The next Jim Morrison without doubt!

That audience has no idea.

That lead singer is oddly compelling.

16:26 the bass line for haters be learners

repeating my comment from the original video - 16:59 My theory is Kyle Matheson is the guy Sam's parter was cheating on him with?

Book Back Dog

How can people be bored in the audience, just dance you mongs, jeez. Let go!
