Lucius - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

2024 anyone? This is KEXP’s best concert and I’ve listened to them all. I listened to this right after it was posted all those years ago and revisit every month because it’s so damn good.

Almost ten years and I'm pretty sure half the views are just from me. One of the best live performances ever

Their loud/quiet dynamic is just...absolutely immaculate.

Lucius came to the dining hall when I was at SUNY Buffalo. Played a late evening show. Maybe 20 souls in attendance. Thankfully I was one of them. Really touched me in the midst of a tumultuous personal time. I almost walked out when they sang "Go Home". Like, whatever you say

Every time I think I have a favorite song by them, I listen again and another one stands out. Right now it's Tempest, but last week it was How Loud Your Heart Gets...

Clicked on this by mistake. Couldn't stop watching. Great band.

was a dj for many yrs in my 20's, no one has impressed me in the music industry for over 20 plus yrs ,until i ran across Lucius accidentally over 2 yrs ago on utube! I have watched the full version live KEXP over 100 times since and it never gets old! All i can say is Amazing! THANK YOU LUCIUS and pls pls pls know you are LOVED!

Oh my god, that intro to ‘Tempest’. So incredible.

Sound mix is absolutely 10/10.

Damn all these comments from 3-5 years ago an I’m sitting here like damn this is my first time hearing this!....I’m liking this.

this is a watershed live recording. so glad they captured this

I came here from their Goose sit-in and I'm a fan now. I dig it.

2022 and still listening to this masterpiece.. love you lucius ❤️

I fell asleep watching you tube vids. I woke up to this band playing. I had worked a long night shift and really wanted to go back to sleep. But the vocal and melody of turn it around had me in its grip lol! Stayed up and listened to the whole set. Im a blues guitarist.. so that awsome slide guitar really got to me. This band is one of the greatest i have heard in a while!!!

Hands down my favorite new artist. Listened to this set about 30 times in the last few weeks. Totally crushing it.

Well, I've just finished watching/listening to this for the first time, beginning to end, and all I can say: sometimes you're just glad you live in the times you live in and the music this band makes brings that kind of gratitude. They said they were grateful to the audience there, but I have to say that I'm grateful to Lucius for the music and the performances. Really wonderful music! Now, make more CDs and also-perform in more places! (or not - do whatever you want - just keep making the music!)

I didn't intend to, but I watched this entire video. I just couldn't stop. This is a spectacular performance. The fact that there are thumbs down on this only serves as proof beyond any doubt that there are people out there who've made a career out of hitting dislike on any and all videos.

Every song (especially live) is a fuckin' gift.

Even after listening to this a million times, Two of Us gives me goosebumps every.single.time.

A very audibly and visually impressive band. Seriously love the aesthetic unity, but more importantly they sound incredible!

Brilliant live performance. Love the unusual arrangement.

I had lost hope in modern music and today's musicians until this. What the heck?! Utterly infectious and absolutely original. Proof that Rogers Waters knows what he's doing when he collaborated with these 2 songbirds. Love this band in every aspect.

Great band! What a fresh approach! And i'm 2 years late viewing this. Tremendous!

Turn Around reminds me of early B 52! Luvn it

So Music is still ALIVE and very well! Hope they come to Austria one day :-)

GO HOME is a masterpiece.

I just discovered this. Normaly absolutely not my stlye of music but these guys...absolutely genius. Glad im still brave enough to think outside the box we usually fell in way to fast! Thx KEXP for distributing such awesome musicians!

Man that last song blew my mind! "Two Of Us On The Run" There are two of us on the run Going so fast, every doubt we had is coming undone And falling behind with everything we left there We held on for far too long And now we pass so many people on the road They could come along, I wish they'd been told They may call it a shot in the dark From what we know, it's not unheard of And we'll one day tell our story Of how we made something of ourselves now Our favorite parts are what we'll keep Ornamental parts of love and parts of memories So everything else has room to grow 'Cause in better light, everything changes So we can one day tell our story Of how we made something of ourselves now There's no race, there's only a runner Just keep one foot in front of the other There's no race there's only a runner 1, 2, 3 even when you get tired Just keep one foot in front of the other There's no race, no ending in sight No second too short, no window too tight Just turn off the lights when you leave 'Cause we've got everything we're gonna need We're on the run, we're on the run, we're on the run child We gotta run, we gotta run, we gotta run child One day tell our story Of how we made something of ourselves now One day tell our story Of how we made something We made something of ourselves

Wow. I don't care if yer into death metal or gangsta rap exclusively or whatever... I don't understand how anyone who listens with an open mind could resist these guys.

Love this band! Great performance. Hope we can catch up with them in Boston some time. What a great sound mix, KEXP. Sounds amazing.

I clicked on this by accident and sat through the whole set. I love them. Music is life

Best "new" band in ages.

This never gets tired. Lucius is the best live band out there. Full stop.

This might be some of the most beautiful music I heard in over 20 years..

Deeply impressive. Their attention to detail, their musicianship, and their melodic music mark them out as very different to so many modern bands. They remind me of Talking Heads. They are thoroughly professional and deserve to go places.

My goodness gracious did I absolutely love that first tune.

I AM IN LOVE WITH LUCIUS. WATCHED THIS ENTIRE PERFORMANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I'M IN TEARS. Doesn't get any better than this.

best percussionists and vocals of the year! ! Luscious rock!!!!

This is so absolutely amazing I can't believe I haven't heard it sooner

Mane. been watching this since 2014 and I still get chills!!

What a amazing group with voices that mix so perfectly. They are MAKING Music, not playing it. Using real instruments with real voices is such a concept today, and they do it perfectly. Even the vocals out in the audience with just a single microphone is such a work of art and pleasure for the ears. GREAT !

I'm always surprised by people that bother to hit the thumbs down. 😏

Damn good music ! Real musicians !

Never seen anyone play drums and guitar at the same time! The harmonys are overwhelming. I die.

Lucius is definatly one of the best newer bands I have listened to in a very VERY long time. They have an excellent musical presence that most music acts today just don't have; I can safely say I think I am becoming a true fan of Lucius.

I love the slower version of Go Home. Beautiful! Their voices are really flawless.

beautiful.

I somehow stumbled upon this performance again. I'm reminded of why I fell in love with Lucius.

I just heard "The Punisher" on 88.5 WXPN a couple months ago and checked this out. How have I never heard of this band before?

I love these guys. Saw them at the Vancouver Folk Fest. I have watched this concert everyday since. Creative. Catchy. Addictive. Pop at it's best. Looking forward to another album.

I just saw'll them last night opening for Tegan and Sara in Jacksonville! They were amazing!!! Love them.

What a breath of fresh air this band is, fabulous...

This band is F*$king awesome!!!! Their songs are catchy and I find myself singing their songs all the time. Please come to Atlanta.

Just gorgeous!!!

This concert is so good that I'm listening it for the fourth time noun. Each of its moments is perfect, everybody is at the top of their game, refined music, full of energy.

Obviously needed to turn sixty to find this fine musicians! Great music, I like it very much!!🤩

Still, this is truly amazing.

Kind of like any band/artist/performer one "discovers": you want all the world to know so that they have all the success they want and yet you want them not to change because you just love 'em so much! Big fan here and hope the whole band is having a joyful time of things because they are bringing musical/performance joy where there has been a musical desert for too long! May they carry on - well, forever! Great music/band/performances.

Really like these guys, new to my ears but will soon be very familiar with their material... So far pretty much everything from KEXP sounds fantastic!

Perfection ! I’m at a loss for words! Last time that happened, it was 1972!!!!!!

I first saw this band on this channel.Really I liked their music. Just a delight, very bright, cheerful and original music.

Living for "Genevieve" wow a lot of tension in that song fhewwww.... lord the emotion in that song... loved it you guys... beautiful... very intense!!! There's def some chemistry between drummer and the girls, especially one of the girls, good lord, idk what that is, but there's a story there... I can feel it!!! Beautiful.

most favorite when you love someone, you feel them across miles and miles

Lucius Girls.. an example of lots of music inside her souls.. and backuped with lots of music study. They are so cute and her voice is infectious..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

their harmonies, their songs, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

Fantastic! Their voices are so glued together and the songs are creative. Super bright future for this crew. I really don't understand the video downvotes - just choose something else - why hate like that - Sheesh!

My cheeks hurt from smiling through this entire video. Thank you.

I luvs me some Lucius such a unique style amd sound they really should be huge everytime i listen to my girls they remind me not all new music sucks

I'm pretty obsessed with this performance!

Caught your act on the Carson Daly Show and loved it; bought your Wildewoman LP on iTunes then came here to RU-vid to watch and listen while the download completes. Love your stage presence and upbeat energy. Thank You Lucius.

They are just awesome.

Saw them opening for The Decemberists in 2015. The two lead singers were dressed up like 1940s Moon Maidens from some cheapo serial and were using this same stage setup. At first I thought it was just terminal art damage, but then I really started getting into what they were doing. They were one of the best opening acts that I've been introduced to (as opposed to ones that I was already familiar with) that I've seen in over 40 years of concert-going.

How loud your heart gets. Jesus christ. Ecstasy. By far the peak of the show.

Thats the real stuff right there!

I'm not sure I could go on without you KEXP. Never stop doing what you do!

The Ladies of Lucius are awesome!

Lucius is also my middle name. It's not one you see too often. Beautiful music and great performance. Glad I discovered this.

Along with Tuneyards, Lucius are re-defing band structure and use of percussion! They leave enough space for the music to breathe, and this elimination of unnecessary clutter lets the songs and melodies glisten! Mesmerizing! =:^)

they're friken musical geniuses!!!!! true musicianship at its finest... ahhh

so frickin awesome. Love these guys

This is the BEST band!!!

They make it all sound so effortless when it is anything but! So, so good! I’m hooked!

wow the timing of all of them are perfect...brilliant performance

Lucius always kills. In this era, they had one of the best supporting bands I've ever heard.

Beautiful!!!

Saw them for the first time on a sunny afternoon in England, End Of The Road Festival 2014, stunningly original and so talented, and such good musicians, I now have a new definition of Bliss.

I just discovered the cd in our library by coincidence. Can't stop listening.

One of the best bands I've ever seen live!

Can''t get enough!

wonderful, pure beauty, great!

I have just found KEXP, I love it!

This is so good!

wow, saw them on a documentary on Dutch television about SXSW Downloaded their album and listening to "Turn It Around" over and over again and found out that's just a little part of the album, it's so good and so original. Love it: the music, their voices, their style WOW

Great band!The slide guitar work on that Sivertone/Dan Electro is just brilliant.Vocals are heavenly.

STUNNING!!!

Thank you. You folks have restored my love. You got in there through my ears and my eyes and massaged my soul...carved some new grooves. Justin Zimmerman.

I'm just discovering them after seeing them back Roger Waters. What a breath of amazingly fresh music.

They're having so much fun performing, that's great!

Killing as always, this bunch!

That version of Two of Us.... wow... just wow. Should be released on audio
