The Shins - A Take Away Show, Part II

[lfsfonseca]

This video makes me wish visiting Paris.

Strolling around the city seeing the sights, watching the french being, well... french. Stopping in the end of the afternoon in a little cafe for a coffee, a croissant and a cigarette...and all of the sudden the Shins jump out of nowhere and start jamming...

[rjaafar]

loooool, the part where he says "lets jump out the window" was the best

[Rolandesch]

Dear God, is this in Spain??? I would have died hearing this on my streetcorner!!! Love you guys!!!

[MrConorMackinnon]

@Rolandesch its in paris

[NJpanther05]

Shins are the best

[albaKonst]

It pains me to think that so many people walking past just carry on and don't have a clue who these guys are!

[longdali82]

I 'm just imagining the camera guy running in circles around the band... :) ahhahaha but man I WISH I WAS THERE TO SEE IN PERSON

[caraszmatic]

Curse the universe that I wasn't there for this amazing display of eargasm-inducing music. WHY UNIVERSE WHY.

[jimijimi1029]

You know what would be a nice surprise? if in five or so years the major music industry took a turn for the good and music was like this everywhere. that would be heaven...

[alexandra2702]

this is what live music is supposed to sound like! so good.

[changapoblana]

After watching A Take Away Show, Part I and II, that was it for me. I love them more and more with each passing song..

[CupOfSuccess]

That baby in the window was like "MOM LOOK! IT'S THE FUCKING SHINS!!!" :D

[aveniux]

After seeing this video would have bet that never divide, even so they are incredible!

[JaredOverstreet]

@payne36 "Our Culture" is too busy being dazzled with silly costumes, flashy sets and mediocre-at-best artists to listen to great music like this.

[sethfafa]

I was lovin this video up until I saw that distateful "E" on the guitar, damn you epiphone!

[payne36]

stairs are better... good for the buttocks 

[payne36]

im surprised they aren't MORE popular in our culture. they are so amazing!

[Cuirassier23]

I'm not sure exactly why The Shins are in France, but this is one of the most wonderful series of performances I've seen!

[ricksterp34]

the past and pending sounds absolutely amazing!

[TheTimePolice]

At least 4 tasteless people in this world.

[ThePatrickSGh]

@TheTimePolice out of the 403 untasteless :)

[aha45]

Almost as good as the Andrew Bird takeaway show! haha, just kidding, they're both great.

[choctochoc]

grrr i adore blogotheque, but whoever was filmin this needs to learn to hold the camera still once in a while! it felt sick there were that many blurry shaky moments! gr!

[CorinneMGTee]

@choctochoc i love them too, but you echo my thoughts exactly.

[gustavodefariaesouza]

haha, awesome

[heyyjules]

so freaking epic!

[metsbs]

Past and Pending is the best Take Away Show I've ever heard.

[MrConorMackinnon]

Badass

[etherealbylar]

The Shins, these 3 songs represent them very well, usually when I ask someone, Hey, do you know the Shins? Lol, I'll show these 3 :D

Well... also Red rabbits, pink bullets, So says I, Phantom limb, gosh I like them all!!!

[ShiOgreen]

apsolutely amasing! I ♥ the Shins!

[SoFarAreWe]

everyone thought kevin spacey formed became a musician.

[joobae]

"why the fuck is there traffic, is there an accident?"

"no the shins are playing in the middle of the road"

just another day in paris

[alphamoon65]

got my bowl of coffee, and now I'm dancing around....

[theEmptyMilkCarton]

I like how all of these views are mine :P

[yourdogsmusic]

man, see the toddler at the window about about 3:10....she was about to jump 'til she heard the shins. she became happy again after seeing such a great performance. the shins are heroes!

[NelliumTheFisherman]

La Blogtheque = Awesome

The Shins = Awesome

La Blogtheque + The Shins = SO MUCH AWESOME.

[aprilbloom1]

this is just so brilliant... ahhhh i love the shins!!

[bladernr2019]

Brilliant!

[ToobeYoo]

their timing sounds way off to me but it still remains good.

[stuffhobbes]

I agree, the French DO suck!

[totoh82]

they sound perfect no matter where they are. god i love them.

[budahgee3]

Australia = Just about God damn perfect....I want that song played on the day of my funeral, no joke. Those frogs couldn't appreciate American rock, period. no wait.... there's the PERIOD......

[41n0k34]

The Past and Pending completely blew my mind. I love The Shins, this was incredible.

[totoh82]

they are just too fricking awesome. wish i had been there....waaah.

the lighting makes James

look so strange.

great performance.

[lanzonfly]

"good for the buttocks", lmao

[iamacontagiousvirus]

past and pending is one of my favorites, great harmonization

[iamacontagiousvirus]

I like this version of Turn a square and Australia better than the studio version! I LOVE THE SHINS

[xXxnerdlovexXx]

why are there so few people listening?

[saturn11]

because these things aren't scheduled.

[Blamdrew]

past and pending is my favorite shins ever!

what a great job here!

[s0l4r1x]

I would have killed to see this.

[swinny69]

whereabouts in paris is this?

[WNRNradio]

Tom Peloso from Modest Mouse just performed in Richmond with The Shins. A couple days after that he came into our studio and played songs of his own! Check em out at our channel.

[PainAddict666]

It's crazy, they bring together like the coolest people evar! Everyone there last night that I met was kind, intellectual and fashionable. Peeeerfection.

[PainAddict666]

I just saw them in Hollywood last night, soooooooo awesome! They ended with 'the past and pending', my fav song.

[PLA5T1KJ3ZUS]

[rick1521]

What a great performance of Australia...wow

[fourbid1]

Epiphone ftw fck martin

[jcupsmells]

chorus of past and pending was amazing. i want a all acoustic shins ablum

[Pewpewharhar]

they use acoustic guitar in some of their songs.. but yeah i get what you mean. that would be cool

[mrdeecup]

that melodica is AWESOME! Long live the shins!

[manisiu]

ive been wondering how james has managed to amplify his voice so its louder than all those instruments! and even hit the high notes so well

[kawola101]

wireless mic prolly :)

[7dwyerm]

what is the instrument eric johnson is playing during past and the pending.

[croduck1]

It's a melodica, I believe.

[squidcommander]

this is awesome, i love the shins

[mavidekaybolmak]

LaBlogotheque, you know how to do this !!!

[Entropy37]

[redsoccrbrit8642]

[maristars333]

[Flatlegs]

OMG Holy MO FO! That's possibly the coolest thing ever!

[mad4music7]

off topic: James looks kinda like the foreign neighbor in the cartoon Hey Arnold! haha.

[schu1324]

[XtylerwithasilentX]

the shins are my favorite band but i feel that this is too loud. idk maybe its just me. i dont know how i feel about the 3rd guitar player.

[LabbySidhe]

Oooh, The Shins are just so feel-good, it's incredible. :] This video is stunning!

[scoop2230]

after 3 albums of amazing songs, i still think 'the past and pending' is the best one. it's so damn good.

[IndieKette]

@scoop2230 I Think so, too. Amazing Song, like every song by The Shins, but this one has something special.

[mrbuster123]

I love the shins

[equinequeen]

i was in paris the other week on vacation and i thought of this clip and got really excited....and kept my ears peeled for music haha. nonetheless.......i love this. the shins. paris. blogotheque. the love of music itsself.

[TheDblStandard]

Those lucky people! Had I heard one note I would've dropped whatever I was doing and ran over. I wonder of all the people watching how many knew it was The Shins? Good stuff!

[jusdog313]

soooo lucky to see that in real life!!!

[suchaclassicx]

[blueberryslurpee]

[livetolaugh92]

[doversucks84]

[WhereAmI321]

I LOVE this video! "The Past and the Pending" is one of their best songs I think, one out of many many.. Love the video! Wish they would come to my street one time and play.

[manbearpig63]

Great video but you're sorta pushy when you film artists.

[kalakaboo]

they are unbelievable!

[patch0i]

they're called mics, genius.

[manbearpig63]

lol dick comment man

[jflex]

I'm most curious to hear how you do the sound. It's all so well balanced and doesn't vary based on camera position. How do you do this?

[neadyx]

FUNNY! I love it! I love it when the car is beeping at them

[tosty88]

wow what a great 'concert' I wish I was there!

AWESOME!!!

[supercoolryan1212]

[Aiseilles]

Superb! Thank you! I'm asking for a monument or something for you! Always making my day!

[Liverbirdy8]

OMG I'm more in love with The Shins than ever.

Agree with eegool on every point, this does really grab your attension. I'm now making it my sole mission to go and watch these live.

P.S. Nearly 3000 people only, has got to see these vids??????? C'mon, lets spread the word about The Shins.

Spam if you have to. lol

[lexiealeshire]

This makes me want to cry more than the first. I think I will go buy a baguette. Or move to Portland...

[alvarocarvalho1977]

Bravo! i couldn't get tickets for their concert à l'élysée montmartre. Excellent vidéo! Merci!

[eegool]

This video really grabs your attention, fantastic atmoshpere in the sun baked town square and great camerawork. Brilliant and tuneful perfomances on all the three songs too! a joy to witness all round :D
