Iron & Wine - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Sam, please keep making music forever.

I've always loved "About A Bruise," but I love it even more after seeing the live version-- it looks like they're all having so much fun playing it :)

His soul is suspended in a timeless and unknown place for most of us. I'm grateful that we can catch a glimpse of that place through his songs.

Of all the things I am grateful for, I am extremely grateful to be on this earth as the same time as Sam. His music will transcend generations and be celebrated until the end of humanity.

I love iron and wine but everytime I listen to them I ball my eyes out I couldn’t see them live I would cry the whole time so love RU-vid concerts thanks kexp 😂

I saw Iron and Wine for the very first time last night. It was a small venue, a semi tight fit that was Abit uncomfortable at first but once they came on, after Erin Rae who has the voice of an angel the whole room of strangers became comfortable and flowed. It was so beautiful to watch how the sounds of their music touched each person around me. It showed in the movements of their bodies, flowing, beautifully, the hugs and kisses givin to friends during a song, the intense stares watching them as they sang and played. For me, this band touches a part of me that I feel unravels the onion layers that have built up thru the yrs. Just beautiful. Every sound is just perfect for me. Next time. I WILL, get a closer spot. :) Love love love. Laughter, and truth done beautifully.

Another door... another door... layers of the onion of our hurt, peeling away. I have just discovered Iron & Wine. I am grateful.

Sam's voice is just wonderful. This was such a lovely performance.

Sam's the man. Such a rad soul. The band has a great vibe, too. I bet their musical atmosphere is honey-magnetic.

No matter how much I've seen this, still blows me away

Who else here gets excited when KEXP uploads new shows??? Best notifications ever!

The touch, the feeling, the musicality, the sensibility, the details, the tone, the snap, the timing, the art, the beauty.

What a great band he's got with him

Sam is just such an amazing person, this whole band is amazing too. They are all so absorbed in their craft; you can look at each of them and see how dedicated they are to the music. No wonder they sell out shows. So beautiful and captivating.

"By the end, we leave somewhere to forever wander back. By the end..." dang that's nice

This guy is truly one of a kind.

Saw them live some days ago here in Germany... what a brilliant bunch of musicians! Listening to them takes me both back and forward in time and through the universe. Thanks for letting us participate on this beautiful music, KEXP!

Saw them live last night and it was unbelievable!

So excited to see him in September. Went to his show during the Ghost on Ghost tour and loved it.

I’ve been listening to Iron and Wine for years and I’ve loved everything they’ve released. I wish you guys can come to Illinois!!

Epic Songs brings my mind in peace and harmony.

Wow. It's live but really sounds amazing like it studio recording.

Beaaaatufuulllll!!!!

She Is so beautyfull ❤️ 🙏

Great smooth classy sound,,, and I'm amazed at Donald Sutherland (The actor) on bass........ :)

This guy is just sick. I first heard him at the end of a movie where they did the credits song. Instead of looking for the actor I was curious about I got lost in the song. Then it was over and I had no clue what it was. I remember going nuts searching for it with no luck. Then about 2 years later someone had it embedded in their MySpace page. Now the real question; Why doesn't *EVERYONE* know who *_Iron and Wine_* are? The band has always been great regardless of who is in it at the time/whatever famous musician goes on stage with them just to get outshined by a 50-year old in a flannel or T-shirt with a Grizzly Adams beard way, way before they were popular. Well, 48, but close enough. It's sad to say, if this dude looked like John Mayer or Adam Levine he'd probably be the best selling artist of the last 3 bloody decades. I highly doubt he cares, as for him it really, really seems like it's about the music. As long as he has enough money to put food in his mouth and feed his animals life is just grand. Still, to think that hundreds of millions of people who would love them will probably never get the chance to hear them unless a bunch of current _Legendary Pop/Rock/Country/Folk/Alternative_ like Ed Sheeran, Drake, Levine etc etc spotlighted them on their Facebook and Instagram pages. I mean heck, Ed Sheeran is noted as the greatest non-rap writer in modern times, but I'd could easily make a strong argument for Sam Beam and crew. Lyrically they are right their with the John Lennons, Brad Nowells, Cat Stevens, Ed Sheerans, John Denvers, Dave Mathews, Kurt Cobaines, David Bowies and Princes we've had over the last 70 years. Some people write a great song. Iron and Wine, like the above mentioned, have made hundreds. Oh well, the world has never been perfect for anyone, regardless of what political beliefs you share or disagree on, and if he isn't complaining about his popularity. It's funny to think someone who has sold well over 10 milliion albums with a billion+ online listens while packing shows to the rafter for the last two decades hasn't come close to reaching their _popularity potential_ because they didn't/don't try to look _pretty_ enough, but again, were they to just _sell out_ for one album and tour, good grief, the money these cats would pull in. Then people would go back and listen to their older library like _:The Trapeze Swinger and _"Muddy Hymnal"_ (that was the song that really hooked me for some reason) for example, and bam, they're the next 40-56 year-old version of _"The Backstreet Boys."_ Except if they went a tiny bit more _Pop/Rock_ the songs would still probably all be classics in every demographic over 13, so there's that. Like I said, it is just insane to think about how many people are missing out on these guys. Guess I could share them on social media, but unfortunately my reach is pretty darn limited and I live in an area where Latino, Portuguese and Rap are the preferred listening for most people. Still can't hurt though. Maybe 1 song every two days for a few months. See if I can sell them a few hundred new Albums worth of downloads...

godly

Absolute legend, inspired me to write songs years ago. Thank you Sam and thank you KEXP!!

16:22 Man that's some wisdom, absolutely felt this kind of way, I'm glad he put that out there.

6:01 That flourish of the piano arpeggios!! Love it! Sam Beam is indeed awesome singer-songwriter!! :)

The song The song…Dreamin’,,,,, is a great loving memory song to my dear daughter, Erin,,,who passed away 3/4/2023 from Metastatic breast cancer

8:48 - love this bit

sweet

That drummer girl is so sweet...like a Vermont pasture filled with sweet grass.... she can take me down..

05:21 Idk why but I loved that lol xD

5:21

President Coriolanus Snow on the bass

The bassist looks so badass o.o

How did 23 people down vote this. Sam Beam is a genius.

King of The North

18:20

i am from Thomas County.

Sam; if you come down here to Venezuela, I´ll invite you some beers!

please say Call it Dreaming guitar tuning?

Is that president snow on the bass?

reminds me of Simon & Garfunkel somehow

The drummer is so right

Donald Sutherland is playing bass now?!

The old fellow on the bass looks eerily similar to Donald Sutherland..

Beard goals.

A man with 5 daughters needs to be listened too lol.

Sam Bean is a godsent

President snow on bass

050619

This is a good performance. The host's comments about not being able to play certain records because of who is president were pretty dumb, though. Do works of art lose their meaning when the climates under which they were created no longer exist? I don't think so.

Can't win 'em all, I suppose.

Fastenation

I'd rather listen to Scott Alford

That cellist doesn’t know what he’s doing man holy shit. The screeching is nice sometimes but not literally all the time

Great music without the political aspect

....Typical of what NPR-PBS thinks is great music....
