The War On Drugs Live @Bonnaroo, June 13-2015 

That Sax, man. That harmonica. Everything. The very BEST part is, they're super awkward and don't even realize how truly incredible they are. They're just jamming from the soul man.

@@TheRealDeanEstes their live performances have gotten a lot cleaner imo. Saw them 2015, 2017 and 2018, each show was better than the last. They're really coming into their element now.

Así es ,esta banda es una de las mejores de estos últimos tiempos!!🤘🏻

@@Sunrock92 tu lo haz dicho.

@@Fireballfree me too! Did somebody say rock and roll will never die?! Hey hey my my! These guys today, this band today will be classic rock! I can never express enough how much I love them! And each and every time I see them live, as I just did at MSG NYC, I am mesmerized and love them more!

8:32 16:22 24:28 26:22 27:17 42:03

Eat your heart out Ric Flair. LOL

A nod to waterboys mike scott

Daniel, 100% agree...no other rendition is as good...

Daniel S : Check out War On Drugs Austin City Limits 'Red Eyes'...the best version of that song...

@@dannoah1002 Superb. Always been my favourite and the crowd were rightly cooking 🥘

It gets me too, gives me chills every time. When I watched them live June 21, 2015, I literally had tears during that song. It moves me like not many songs do.

@@TheBfritsch Me Too!

Me too! Obsessively since 2014!

Lil bit of snow, weed and bier for me, amazing band indeed

Amen brother

Love the woos too. Adam must have gotten that from Ric Flair. Only kidding. Still a great band.

You da real MVP

Rodrigo Bastos who needs drugs

Me@@jamestuite3035

Thank you so much!!

🫵🤘🤙 What a set, too. Woo!

I believe Charlie used to play with a jazz band before he lived in Philly.

God, you're so right ! What a beautiful thing - I love it too

epic

Fantastic

missing that harmonica in "Arms Like Boulders" though

David, this band won a Grammy for their album in 2018 and had been putting out great music for a decade prior. Bonnaroo didn’t come up with anything here….

Yea the crowd is like a bunch of zombies

​@@dougzarti think they're just overwhelmed because the performance was great. Did you notice that silence after the first or second song? They wanted more

silly goose.

G-eazy still cool tho

@@losangulos y

Is that a Dominican flag? My wife is from there.we also like more than just meragna, and bachatta

É vero!.

​@@matthewtobin8 That's the Portuguese flag

Waterboys - A Pagan Place...

Charlie Hall's the right man for the job.

the best thing about this band is that energy is there to seek if you find it - - - soooo many people are going to find it and fall in love too

Wooooooo!

BKS-Festival is dutch actualy

Think that should be Netherlands actually

Same. I had to tell my dad the same thing as he watched from home while I was there.

But, in all fairness, you can't expect to keep the crowd's attention for more than a few minutes at a concert like this. And in those minutes you have to wake them up. Meaning: LOUD, FAST, & LOUDER! Then faster, louder, and more faster (lol). Plus, engaging them is key, as well, like Freddie Mercury w/his improvisations, sing-a-longs, & clap-a-longs ala Radio Ga Ga. With that said, I know this is a different kind of band w/incredible skills, but a kind of mellow approach. They are super in their own way & are wicked talented. But when playing at this venue they've got to step it up, do their peppier tunes & leave the mellow for albums. IMHO, that is. Don't get me wrong, I Love these guys & wish this crowd appreciated them 1/2 as much as me! 😍😎😄😎

LOL. Imagine them playing

FREDDIEMANIAC MERCURY Yah I can't believe they didn't play Bohemian Rhapsody

I’ve been to gigs here in Oz where it’s pushing the equivalent of 110. Never seen a crowd so apathetic.

dude is soaked in sweat by song 5. INCREDIBLE percussionist. Holds the beat like his dick when he pees: with purpose.

war on drugs as in going to war while you're on drugs

as in "a war that uses drugs"

Also have the Coachella gig, tried to upload it but it wasn't allowed. The setting and atmosphere at the Coachella gig is superiour but musically I prefer this one to all the other gigs I have from their 2015 tour.

do you think you could send me the coachella set?

Bram Lempers tysvm man for the amazing WOD live sets you uploaded. They totally deserve the acclaim they are finally being afforded imho. Thanks for helping YT'rs to appreciate their amazing talent.

The rug is his magic carpet, you'll rarely see him playing a gig without it. I think in another video (guitar magazine rig rundown) he explains he used to work for a seller of fine rugs. He must have developed an appreciation for them.

It's a family connection, apparently. www.theguardian.com/music/2014/mar/13/the-war-on-drugs-adam-granduciel-lost-in-the-dream

The War on Rugs;-)

So good!!

Put this on a dvd please...fantastic!!!!!

Blown away by that solo I imagine

Bummer dude

So good. I'm trying to figure out what it's over. I think he's yelling "Vox" to foh after that.

is it the keyboard he's angry about?

I'd say he has no fold back, ie; he can't hear himself singing. And the guy isn't turning up quick enough, so he's getting pissed off.

"Pizza Joe's....Youngstown, Ohio....Anthony used to own that joint." Anthony Lamarca's (other guitar player) hometown is Youngstown, OH. (I think someone was holding up a pizza box on a stick in the crowd.)
