They are laughing because he looks like a fucking moron. I dig the dancing, but, their is no denying how stupid it looks to people who aren’t already fans
Who would have thought a little song from Future Islands could affect me physically, mentally, and emotionally as it does, and I only discovered them by accident 6 months ago. Yes No Name Astonishing, hypnotic performance
I've loved this song for years but have never seen Future Islands til today. Passion personified. I'm breathless and speeches after watching this. The singer is my new favorite person.
Amazing for so many reasons . The drummer is cool and in the moment .. the keyboardist has head down and concentrates to create that quirky wavering synthesiser sound .. the bass player reminds me of random dudes in holland in 89..with a 70 s haircut ... and the front man is just brilliantly insane ... I can honestly say I've never seen anything like his moves ..total and utter loonacy that only John Cleese could rival. brilliant .. just brilliant ..it made my new years eve
so I'm at home watching MTV, ok the normal MTV crap was playing, until Jools Holland put Future Islands on there, I kept watching, but then something happened,...Herring Started to dance, it was weird at first, but then I kept watching, He started to sing, and that was it, I know that I was watching something really special. I compare this with the first time I saw Bono from u2, this is HUGE! This band is the Mother load! I'm in baby, all the way I hope they come California so I can go see them. I'm in! count me in
dude puts so much heart and feeling into his performance that he can do some of the strangest singing ever heard and still connect with the masses. It's beautiful
I can’t get enough of this song. So amazing, and Sam’s performance is genius. I wish the song were longer. I’d love an extended version, it just ends too soon. Fantastic!
Sublime. This would totally fly past my radar, but the passion, wild elegance and joyous commitment elevate this to something that just fits anybodys musical taste.
Lol, this is accurate. If you watch the clip when they were on David Letterman, there's the point where the lead is about to go full-demon, and the bassist has an epic look on his face of: ffs, here it comes...
My fave band since 2015 and still are in 2017. Saw them perform at the Enmore in Sydney on 4th Dec 2017. Absolutely brilliant. The crowd was in awe and gave a 10 minute standing ovation when this song finished. Sam Herring looked stunned as he stood on the stage with the band being drowned in huge applause . He said " thank you Sydney that was fucking awesome".
Future Islands are always amazing live - seen them play a couple of times in LA and Bozeman - very very different (excellent) venues and great crowds - but they really lit the audience up. They've a loyal following that makes every performance feel like a reunion. Looking forward to catching them again when they're back in the US. Lov'em!!
We've been waiting on you guys!!!!!! woohoo love watching & listening to you guys performing. Makes me soul so happy, you have so much passion Sam!!! LOVE IT Thank you for your magic tunes!
Love how he breaks the 4th wall, stared down that camera like it's the one he's been waiting on...... all these changing seasons....... Love It though!
this is way more special - the performance - than the music video! Wow this event must've been the most amazing thing to experience! 2014-2016 were great. Sure been waiting on me! :)
At the youthful age of 71, I love this group. First saw them at Glastonbury... you may laugh but they are on my playlist along side the Beatles...... 😊
I watched their first time on Jools holland and it changed my world. That first performance was pure multi discipline talent. He doesnt sing songs, he acts them, theres a difference.
When I heard this a my way back home from 17 hr work day couple years back ... this Seasons change wld light up my drive home ...then found the band on RU-vid I do Zumba and he's got the body roll down
Sam is such a mesmerizing front man. His unique delivery and performance of each song keeps me coming back to these live videos. Definitely my front-man-man-crush haha.
So pleased to find this, I was watching this on NYE and haven't seen it since. I didn't know the name of the band or the song but thought I'd find it under Jools' vids and here it is...such a brilliant performance, must admit I wasn't sure whether to laugh at him or with him (the lead singer) at first but by the end it's obvious he just loves his work and gives zero fucks about anything but putting his all into his performance and I LOVE that. ROCK ON dude..
I’ve commented on so many of their live videos already, but i just cant stop watching them! Im seeing them live in july, but I first found them back in about 2017 ish. Funny enough it was Caves, and playing in an old navy. I had just come from seeing thor ragnarok in movie, and was standing in the changing room. I didnt even have shazam so I was FIGHTING to find it with the 2 lines of lyrics Id remembered. So glad i did 😭❤️
Just discovered this... Joy Division 2000s... Shares that natural aptitude for unique, soulful stage presence and delivering tight killer tones... Works for me! +fan
me encanta este grupo quisiera verlo en el escenario espero que pueda venir a Perú como lo vive la canción me ase recordar a mi cuando escucho a solas y me encierro en mi cuarto pongo la bulla comienzo a moverme como Sam's I love how he lives and expresses you, you are the only Sam's Greetings from Peru I hope you come
