I stay up late just to see Bright Eyes perform. It was AMAZING!!! When they started playing, i scream with excitement and woke up my parents, they got scared..lol BRIGHT EYES ROCKS!!! BEST BAND EVER!!!
THEY ROCKED THIS PERFORMANCE. IT WAS AWESOME TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO. WAY TO GO Y'ALL. BRAVO! And so glad to see Conor feeling what he's singing again. Bravo Bravo
Oh my, I spy with my little eye one of the (brand spanking) new Vintage Vibe electric pianos! It's the stunning silver-top looking wurlitzer, and it sounds amazing! I am so excited to see one of these in action.
Amazing performance everyone killed and i loved the fact it just the core pppl of bright eyes on stage the ones hes been touring with for years i love the shirt too !
So dope that spiderman managed to get 3 talented musicians of his exact same height to join him in the front of the stage. (just playin Conor, love u thank u)
In my English large group at school the teachers played this song for the poetry unit, they didn't check the sound first so when it came on it started LOUD, and everyone jumped a little. Made me proud to be a Bright Eyes fan Also, LETTERMAN YOU'RE HOLDING IT UPSIDE DOWN YOU IDIOT!
This reminds me of "old" Bright Eyes so much: the song, the lyrics, the "jam" feeling that comes with a big group, even the way Conor is dressed and coiffed, haha. Don't get me wrong-- I love just about everything he's ever done-- but "The People's Key" also has that added element of nostalgia (at least for me). Can't wait to see them in June... I scored pre-sale tickets in Philadelphia. Totally worth the 6 hour drive, as I've only gotten to see him with the Mystic Valley Band. :)
I'm guessing that this is the national television debut of the new Vintage Vibe electric piano, which is based on Rhodes tine/tonebar engineering. A beautiful instrument, it's a shame that its sound wasn't featured more prominently.
@PULCHRITUDINOUS actually we're both wrong. the inside part has just been printed upside down.. the cut out flames are the right way, it's just the actual album artwork that's upside down. No need to be so hostile, friend. We're all here for the same reason.
@missxcaliforniaa I know she isn't playing much in this song but they are a band so I think it's cool that she is there and play her little thing in the end. I don't think she is the one who wants to be there because it must be kind of awkward being on stage when you don't play anything most of the song.
Andy LeMaster, Clark Baechle, and Laura Burhenn in the backing band?!? Hell yeah, that's like a Saddle Creek all-star cast. If only Jenny Lewis and Jason Boesel were playing with them. Then they'd be unstoppable.
@leighxcore11 excuse me for the incorrect terminology. the "vinyl" the "special edition lp" the "album", and everything else everyone responded with, correcting me. yeah, i've owned the "CD" since feb 15th as well. and as for being a dIe hArD BrIgHt eYeSs FaN ~*~*~* and not knowing which way to hold the album,cd,vinyl,special edition LP blahbla, look at 0:42-0:45 in this video saddle creek posted, then tell me he's not holding it upside down
People asking "what is the girl for!!?!?!?" are dumb. She's part of the touring set-up of the band - she plays/sings on other songs and adds a bit of vocal depth to this one. She's part of the band, that's why she's there.
@pokerbabe779 are you not a musician? i'm just curious, because if you are you would know she doesn't need to be the most dominant sound, it's the balance of her voice against conor's. it's a tone color thing.
