Vampire Weekend - M79 - Pitchfork Live 

Criminally underrated song

those violinists are amazing

CT and Baio smiling at each other while "woah"ing was the cutest thing

CT's face when he starts laughing before the "whoa" part's so cute!!!! Ah!!!

Taking transit is one of the most inspiring aspects to a writer. This song is proof.

Ezras voice is so unique

This video reminds me that there are TWO amazing vocalists in Vampire Weekend. The two harmonizing at 2:36 is pure euphony. Utterly in love, especially with this video. Beautiful.

am i the only one still watching this masterpiece every day?

One of my favorite pop tunes of the last 20 years. So beautiful

Everyone playing this is smiling! It's so sweet

Song is a masterpiece 👏🏽👌🏽. I love the ending part where the violins are emphasized, they compliment the rest of the instruments so well.

They really captured something special.

Interestingly, the cellist in this performance is actually the same person that played cello on the original Vampire Weekend album. His name is Hamilton Berry and he appears to be the only string player in this performance that also played on the original studio recording of this song.

Still there in 2024 !

Why does this song reduce me to tears, i love it and only listen to it with happy things in mind life doesnt make sense.

even ezra's hella impressed by the strings 0:39

I love how everyone smiles in this

This video fills me with indescribable joy.

How does this sound identical to the song on the album... Amazing!

this comment section is hella empty last few months :( surely i cant be the only one that still enjoys this daily?

Best version!! 💜💜💜

We used this song to walk out after our wedding ceremony! amazeballs!!!

MAGIC...

Still watching this in 2016!!!!! AMAZING!

Holy Crap this is amazing

wholesome

Holy shit the string trio was insane in this

Damn good performance, a shame there wasn't anyone there to clap at the end

It's going to take a little time While you're waiting like a factory line I'll fly across the park Backseat on the 79 Wasted days you've come to pass So go I know you would not stay It wasn't true, but anyway Pollination yellow cab You walk up the stairs See the French kids by the door Up one more flight See the Buddha on the second floor Coronation rickshaw grab So go I know you would not stay It wasn't true, but anyway Racist dreams you should not have No excuse to be so callous Dress yourself in bleeding madras Charm your way across the Khyber pass Stay awake to break the habit Sing in praise of Jackson Crowter Watch yourself along the arch of glass

damn, they sound hella dope live..

Chris baio is playing a fender!!!!!!!

reminds me of my teenage years running on walls and shit

I miss this VW :(

WOW that was fucking great!

fiera!

fucking awesome

I was on this bus. Looking out the window. Thinking about this video. Feeling strangely connected; part of the living fabric.

Can someone explain why that man's playing a Spanish guitar instead of steel string?

Those chicks cut it up.

bunk bed brawl jomm

ㄷ

Would 10/10 left j

man I wish they had vioinsists everytime they performed this live the violin version is so much better but hard to find a violonist to add to their touring band

sheet music

Violins carry this one. And the kid in the blue shirt is clearly the alpha here.
