Chris Bear has to be one of the most aggressive/sensitive drummers when needed since John Densmore in The Doors.

the last part of the song is REALLY beautiful

@evillink1 11 лет назад

Kept looking for an album version of this on RU-vid, as it turns out these guys are so good live you don't need it.

@biancamoravia8161 Год назад

This version is a pure diamond that I rediscover tonight with emotion, now that I realize that the band is separated

its Grizzly Bear's time. Insane level of love for this song. And i will say it also, Best Album Of 2012. Maybe the finest album I've listened to since OK Computer or Kid A.

I referred to the stage lights in a previous post: God only knows what our boy Daniel was up to the night prior... "Holds it down" he does indeed, I fucking like that phrase. Cheers!

@SherissaGo 11 лет назад

2:37 to 3:44 was in my dream.. I was at a friend's place before his cousin's huge wedding.. the funny thing was I never went to the house in real life, but in my dream it was a mansion with a garden. 2:37 totally matched the part of my dream when I looked out the balcony...

@missfit1977 11 лет назад

top!

@CyclingTrivialities 11 лет назад

Always, haha The man definitely gives 100% onstage

@classicmusiclover837 11 лет назад

I know! I saw them play live and Ed was playing an acoustic guitar on "Yet Again", but I don't think it was miked or plugged in because I couldn't hear it at all.

@yeahyeahyaha2 11 лет назад

How I wish the bass was a little louder, I know in the record it's not very strong neither, but Taylor throw in some nice lines.

@soupermanist 11 лет назад

He's admitted to not being the Best Guitarist in The World. He plays some in the chorus here (3:23, 3:08, 1:29), Knife, Little Brother, and Yet Again. But he plays the shit out of the omnichord in "Ready Able" and the keyboard for "Cheerleader". Youjustgottaworkwithwhatyougot.

@skying4444 toca chingon, se escucha súper bien, muy padre la canción

@helkidovah5222 11 лет назад

They are from Brooklyn, New York.

@econogate 11 лет назад

I wrote a song kind of related to this, sounds nothing like it, but it made me think and sing the lyrics the way i did, though mine's more moody and dark, though it marks the crux i think of this economic and spiritual depression we all are living under. soundcloud.....then search for quantum mystics song title "so many people", I listened to this song about a dozen times the night before I recorded it.

@michellepagaran9945 11 лет назад

@lucyvanderhinkle4196 11 лет назад

why are they so sweaty? gosh green space, can't you turn on the AC? you're going to dehydrate our friends.

@mytoemytoe 11 лет назад

But yes, I agree.

@Dusty-Zafu 11 лет назад

theyve always looked like that, I think they just take their music seriously, not to say that people cant smile if they do that, I just think they are in "the zone" when they perform

@frankc32 11 лет назад

it just struck me! it is reminiscent of "Down By The Seaside", from fucking Zeppelin, "Physical Graffiti" 1975. That is it!!! Grizzly Bear rules!!! Paying homage to Led Zep!!! Whether they know it or not!! Cheers! FrankC36

@Klyons92 10 лет назад

I found this picture of what some experts believe used Leonardo Da Vinci as a model when he was around his 20/30s, and he looks very similar to the singer. So hey, that's kind of cool haha I think so at least! X)

@iceehi 10 лет назад

Tears for Fears?

@frankc32 10 лет назад

idiot troll? Cheers!

@iceehi 10 лет назад

Nope, that's a good thing actually. And the song has elements from "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears For Fears. Cheers!

@frankc32 10 лет назад

iceehi sorry, bro', just do not hear it, and I am more open than most idiots. other than a 100% generic drum-beat that if you think "Tears For Fears" thought of, wow, you have much to learn, grasshopper! but you are of course entitled to your opinion, so, justice prevails at last!!! Cheers!

@iceehi 10 лет назад

Not only the drums, how about the riff from 0:46-0:48?

@frankc32 10 лет назад

iceehi OK, I hear ya' (literally & figuratively). Everyone hears what they want to hear, to some extent, anyway, so as long as you like it, that is all that counts, right? Cheers!

@dreamcastsoul 11 лет назад

as much as that could be true, they could just be seriously tired. touring can really take it out on people

@ramonathewaitress 11 лет назад

Ed always looks so uncomfortable on guitar. But it doesn't matter, this is still brilliant!

@malik_alharb 11 лет назад

i never see ed actually playing an instrument he just holds a guitar or that midi thing, just an observation

@InsomniumX 11 лет назад

In Rainbows is as good as both those albums, if not better. Just sayin'.

@axwell21 11 лет назад

Must be hot in there

@econogate 11 лет назад

I like this song in fact it sounds great, but the expressions on the faces seem to imply that something other than joy and excitement on the part of the players. Am I just reading into the expression too much? I wouldn't blame them if they were bummed out, the economy seems in tatters and the world tearing itself apart seems to imply the anxiety and tension implicated in the lyrics.

@dominicbennettmusic 7 лет назад

This entire performance just seems so tired.

@raaaaaaaaaawwwwrrrrr 7 лет назад

grizzly bear is one of my favorite bands...but goodness they aren't all that great live lol

@CPJoe1992 7 лет назад

William Alvarado how very wrong you are..

@raaaaaaaaaawwwwrrrrr 7 лет назад

I ain't saying they're terrible but I think the recordings sound tremendously better than they do live

@CPJoe1992 7 лет назад

William Alvarado I recommend looking up some of their other live sets on here. This one isn't the best. check out their entire live Coachella set or their cemetery gates set. They are actually one of the best live bands. I saw them live 3 years ago and it was the best live performance I've yet to see.

@hissorchid 6 лет назад

The issue is that a lot of what makes Grizzly Bear so special are the very intricately layered instrumentals, incorporating entire orchestras or horn sections, sometimes even just for a moment or section in a song. Take the Saxophone part in this song (at about 1:42 in the actual song), that was not incorporated here. There's so much going on in a Grizzly Bear track that without tripling the amount of people on stage, (and further cutting into the pay of an already small, relatively unprofitable indie band), you just can't get that massive sound you find in the recording. That, and the mixing is pretty shit in this video. Like the last person said, I'd recommend watching that Coachella performance from 2013, it's definitely not the album versions, but it at least shows what they are capable of with their small outfit when the mixing/conditions are better.
