Grizzly Bear - Southern Point

[rawrbaybee3210]

Dat bass.

[rsteates]

those hi-hats at 4:01...incredible

[trex672]

My fave G Bear. Transcendent.

[skylineiiigtr]

3:23 reminds me of Pee Wee Herman's theme song.

[youtubbs67]

God. This is like fucking jazz. How is is possible to love a band this much?

[WordsInMotion]

It's the little things that make this song absolutely perfect.

[toadandlostlover]

CHRIS BEAR IS FUCKEN HOTTTTT!

[VagueSnake]

Ok they should work a bit on the background vocals i think.

[nedved2811]

@VagueSnake THEYYY SHOULD WHAAAAAATTTTT??? HAHAHAHAH

[AdmiralDonuts]

Well, I bet you can guess who is quickly skyrocketing up on the list of my favorite bands.

[bvnnnn]

is the wavering voice effect a jab at the really poor quality leak that came out that sounded like it was underwater and shitty? or is that just intentional? I'd adore if it was them being cheeky.

[iminochrasy]

Splendid performance.

[ISCHNIK]

Such an amazing intro to such an amazing album.

[jcrm05]

I still cannot believe that someone did not like this, they should not be aloud to have a youtube account.

[subpolarity]

grrrrrreat recording uuuyyy

[beatlesfan624]

Great music

[mrshiggs1]

love this positive vibe

[xjakemarinx]

such an excellent rendition of southern point. i can imagine the nerves these guys felt when realizing this song was gonna be a bitch to perform live. they dont fuck around though. brilliant dudes.

[subpolarity]

O___________O

[robotxrok]

not enough bass? seriously? That mix is near perfect.

[musiqmakesmehi]

fucking got damn brilliant.

[playitpaiger]

3 people smell.

[ruma17]

anyone know where I can find a bass tab for this song?

[jugueleish]

@ruma17 are you aware of the fact that you have ears?, tabs are for suckers! no offense, i just find it more rewarding when it's learned by ear alone.. try it!

[hereyethere]

Aw, its wonderful but the audio isn't the best. :(

[jsillervargas]

Reminds me of flamenco

[RubberBiscuit]

It's hard to believe that this was incubating in the same academic environment that spawned lady gaga.

[jsillervargas]

@RubberBiscuit what do you mean?

[FloydIV]

so happy i saw them live :)

[Fat1Rulez]

wonderful drummer

[NINmindfreak27]

I love how every member sings.

[steg111]

lol what it's a rickenbacker?! I thought it was an upright o_O

[myway43]

Man you just have to love that drummer. He is playing for the song, Lots of talent there.

[ch1215]

I just can't get in to this band. This is the definitely the closest I've been to thinking they were worth listening to, but still some things about their music drives me crazy. It's cool music, but I think I'd like this band better if they used the vocalist in a different way. The music is some new jazz rock, but the vocals added to that for me make the whole combination sort of random and incoherent.

[Tengent]

@ch1215 Honesty is appreciated. :)

[DarkMessiBan]

@ch1215 So being unable to identify the genre of certain songs is the distraction for you? Avoid Beck, Andrew Bird, and so many other eclectic artists then.

[butlerboy200]

Great Drummer!!! super jealous.

[THE0PTIM1ST]

whoa.

[sabrustuen]

my reaction to this song: REPLAY

[clemzzz]

can someone explain the drum kit to me?

particularly the strange cymbal in the middle of the crashes/splashes????

[milenko1234567]

i prefer this to the studio version

and listening to it once just isnt enought damn it

[jumaxe]

I like how their songs will sound different in each performance, but never crappy.

[Medizinalrat]

this = musical orgasm

[milenko1234567]

these guys should be in the hall of fame for sumthin ANYTHIN!

[milenko1234567]

Daniel fuckin Rossen man

[DuctTapeUtopia]

1:47 !!!

[JiubLink]

Goose bumps!

[egyptalston]

very beautiful a the end :)

[WombatPA]

2 Silvertones is 2 Silvertones more than I own, and I would like to own maybe half as many Silvertones as Daniel.

[silverdynastypie]

To be honest i think danials voice is better on the recorded version, but dont get me wrong everything else is amazing

[TheTman5487]

intro reminds me of the doors

[blakiecakes419]

This song always reminds me of the band America.

[sjr8316]

love this song...everything about it. zero dislikes you can't possible dislike this.

[jonnyreagan1]

I am absolutely in awe of Daniel Rossen's voice! Awesome rendition Grizzly bear.

[Paucabi]

waaaaaaaaa. EXCE TOP!

[ronnyim12345]

grizzly bear will be a legendary band that will be remembered for ages to come, along with radiohead, nirvana, and the beatles.

[lipppsticktraces]

@ronnyim12345 i can't agree with you more.

[marktheman045]

seeing them live in paris on the 29th going by myself though but its going to be the best day of my life!!!!!!

[Ximengz]

The singer sounds like Donald Fagen. And that ride cymbal sounds godly. Good tune. 

[passionateaboutmusic]

Who's the cutie on bass?

[burninator5000]

so wet right now

[xxswedexx]

ha...like the ONLY folk band where one of the members doesnt have a beard...with a name like grizzly bear...they should fix that =P

Awesome though, love these guys.

[Koopgeminikiller]

couldn't see the guitar when he's going nuts. He is flawless on guitar

[kinetik44]

this band is in control

[DrunkClown69]

i love KCRW

[01AlanBennett]

is there a bit of distortion or some effect on the backing vocals by the Chrises or is that just this audio? It seems such a shame to put effects on any of these guys' voices as they're all wondrous.

[D4N13Lf00]

this is so jazzy i love it! (:

[insanityapple]

christopher bear is the hottest drummer around. and grizzly bear is just sexy in general.

[CRAZYGUY2500]

they are so great

[riadohaed]

this is weird it's sped up a bit eh?

[jekyll3hyde]

too legit to quit.

[troton91]

@jekyll3hyde why quit??

[BendoGecko]

chris bear is legit

[cmatthews926]

@BendoGecko He might be the most innovative drummer in recent years.

[Queenofhearts05]

I love this song so much

[rasmusholberg]

What is the drummer doing with that pedalboard on the table to his left?

[rasmusholberg]

D'oh! To his right! sorry.

[nucleararab]

i think he is using phaser for his vocals

also what is the hi hat pattern he is using? is that a double stroke roll or something more complex?

[rasmusholberg]

It is a double stroke roll. It is pretty sick :O

[CasperGgoodwood]

@nucleararab its just double strokes, but the opening of the hats gives it a cool effect XDD

[muzzilaneous]

@rasmusholberg He triggers the sample of the triangle sound that plays as he's slowly opening and closing the hats. You see him hit it at 2:05 . He's a genius, controls a lot of the vocal and delay effects live :)

[ledzeprocs11]

Im pretty sure that it's for the voice effect during the chorus... he sings "you'll never find me now" in the background and it has a cool effect on it.

[PhantomWarlock]

beautiful song. cant wait for coachella!!

[Pablokolter]

They hit up milwaukee bout a year ago.

[bngrsnmash]

saw them in sydney as well! 2nd row :)

[ballisticman2]

owned i saw them in sydney, 10th row, yesterday night.

arrived a bit wary and excited, left completely mindblown with goosebumps on my skin

[axecold]

they are great!

[AcTNBumpChannel]

Grizzly Bear is pure win!

[itsalltoofunny]

awesome vocals, music, just speechless :)

[rafael28]

song reminds so much of bonnaroo, def the soundtrack of my summer

[BendoGecko]

not enough bass in this mix. excellent performance though.

[muzzilaneous]

@BendoGecko The levels are a lot nicer on the audio recording of this performance that came in the bonus live tracks disc :)

[VagueSnake]

@BendoGecko I advise you to use your equaliser, every video on youtube has different audio settings get used to it. Not that i don't agree with you, but i have given up hope. ;) On the other hand their is not an absolute good or bad mix in my opinion, there no device that measures it in terms of good and bad, unless it's your brain. It's all quite relative, hence the stupid "this band is better then this band" discussions on youtube. Great playing by the band, excellent performance i think.

[VagueSnake]

@BendoGecko I always turn up the bass volume with Grizzly bear, i really like to hear what the bass player is playing and i like the song a lot.

[VagueSnake]

@VagueSnake Btw the drums are also insane (in a positive way, didn't know if he could pull it of live. He clearly does however. I would never have come up with those patterns in a song like this, i think it's great.

[VagueSnake]

@VagueSnake Not to forget the drums, i would never have come up with those patterns, it's very creative and quite hard to play (for me;)). Was wondering if he could pull it of live and he obviously does, easily. Great! Voices melodies and chords are great too, i think i just love this band. :)

[michael1882yt]

Fricking great drummer. Very relaxed. Great band, great tune. More, more, more...

[drockmuthafucka]

such amazing musicians.

[DividedByTheLight]

W-I-N WIN!!

[poniboy]

speechless

[adrianenrique614]

Freaken Epen Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sentraman4]

what's that weird cymbal chris uses? is it a MIDI pad or something?

[sgbassman7546]

yessm

[0AcrossAmerica0]

It's called a trash splash I believe.

[goggor]

veckatimest was never anything else than chris's album

[1000sachenmuell]

the drummer is awesome. my most favoured recently discovered band

[OhYeah729]

Bear is a beast... the drummer that is.

[CrombyMouse]

beautiful song!

[abcdface]

Amazing!!!

[mrfarfanog]

Yes. yes yes yes!
