  • I found this by stalking Mike Patton.

  • i listen to this more than the cd version

  • At Least one crazy black dude knows what to do here :D

  • Fucking Amazing song. Great live performance.

  • My good fucking taste in music brought me here ...

  • i dont like the vocals, drum beats, or the bass. some of the guitar had potential

  • @IamSamuelK everyone has a right to an opinion, so here's mine, you're a knob.

  • @IamSamuelK I don't like your taste in music...

  • @BragScrat I'm more of a metal head

  • not good live

  • HOLY SHIT IM SEEING THEM IN ORLANDO OMYGHOSTH

  • I like how Dave and the audience have NO IDEA how to take this band.

  • TV on the Radio = tapped into surreality.

  • Stevie Winwood may sound like a black guy but he is white...

    But Tunde Adebimpe sounds kind of like a black guy sounding white.

    bad-ass

  • I love how the crowd isn't expecting much and then all of a sudden get's kicked down on their asses.

  • I wish Kyp was my dad.

  • the delivery is awesome

  • Hey everyone, I just uploaded a new song for my solo project Glacierbrain called 'Polka'. Tv on the Radio were a big influence in writing this song so if you want to support some unsigned music I'd really appreciate it if you'd give it a listen.

    Cheers

    Glacierbrain

  • Those lyrics are incredible....giving me shivers

  • Holly fuck... did i just get ran over by an 100000 ton truck doing 300mph??? daaaaaamnn!!!!

  • My Mate Footy got me on to this band, and hes like 60.

  • the first time I ever heard TVOTR was this song here on youtube, but they would break during the vocals on the first verse. I dont' know where in the hell that performance is. I know it exists. either way, this is very nice. seeing them at the Ryman in Nashville tomorrow!

  • Seriously every time I watch this I just wait for dave siteck's hands to burst into flames.

  • THIS IS HARDCORE ... Whooo

  • the singer reminds me of one of those wacky inflatable flailing arm things you find at used car dealerships.

    awesome song by an awesome band. rep brooklyn!

  • @kjd522 brooklyn is for people who cant afford Manhattan

  • Buying my tickets for the Nashville show on Tuesday. Seeing them at the Ryman is gonna be some shit.

  • BAD. ASS.

  • whoa

  • It's funny cause if you listen to all the music played onn the radio today, they wouldn't sound like anything on their cd. I respect these guys cause they will always sound the same. No autotune

  • It's funny cause if you listen to all the music played on the radio today live, they wouldn

  • Comment removed

  • honestly i dont like their studio stuff, but their live stuff fucking rocks.

  • Hey I'm a young musician/producer making electronic music. If you don't like these kind of messages then just ignore me, but if you do have any time I'd really appreciate it if you checked out my songs on my channel where there's also a link to my souncloud. thanks

  • The best moment of all entire david letterman show.

  • Best song of the last decade !

  • The best part is 0:30 - 4:21 !

  • The best part is @0:30 - @4:21 !

  • Comment removed

  • A black bassist, a white guitarist, a homeless drummer and a singer I just cant describe awesomely enough = Pure Win

  • lol did anyone realize it's tv on the radio on the tv hahah

  • Yea Dave gets it.

    

  • JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHERE HAVE I BEEN WHY HAVEN'T I LISTENED TO THIS SHIT BEFORE?!?!?!?

  • @digthatfunk Seriously though, I just dismissed them as another band with one of those really stupid names; but again, my indifference has come back to burn me, now if you'll excuse me I have a band to go discover (which, incidentally, may be one of the best feelings in the world....thanks for posting this video).

  • @digthatfunk  This effort blew me away also ....... they ROCK!

  • @digthatfunk At least you saw the light. Do you have any idea how sick

    I am of people saying "rock was so much better in the 90's. It's like they've forgotten about Hanson and Backstreet Boys.

  • @digthatfunk

    Right with you there mate.. i think I just woke up.!?!?

  • letterman responds to the music like such a geezer. oh jeez buddy boy

  • @matt0941 he seemed genuinely impressed.

  • Dave knows.

  • Comment removed

  • probably the most innovative band ive heard in a long,long time

  • beats awsome the guitars are on fire!!!

  • I love love love this song and I agree with how cool this singer is, amazing!!!

  • brutales siempre y para siempre!

  • Dave Sitek is absolutely shredding guitar, Adibimpe is a madman, and everyone else controls the chaos, releasing it just when the moment is right.  I love TV on the Radio.

  • They are really good live.great band

  • Look, Letterman, there are more styles of music besides "Rock & Roll".

  • I hate how Letterman enters at the end all like "Yeah, nice, nice" in a fake voice, after one of the best live performances I ever seen (imo).

  • @TutKatan That's because Letterman is a douche.

  • @TutKatan

    Letterman may be a prick (I don't care) but he's had TVotR on his show multiple times. I think he likes them.

  • Comment removed

  • @harlequin75 I doubt if Letterman schedules the bands to perform on his show. It's probably CBS or someone.

  • i like this song 

  • Gods, this has so much energy, I want to bounce around the fucking room!

  • come to australia FUCK

  • live version is better than the studio version

  • youtube.com/watch?v=0l_9Z4bhVS­A

    Song fits great to this segment!

  • Cant wait to see them!!!

  • 00:09 - letterman.. what a lad.

  • This song makes me think of trueblood !!!

  • Awesome shit! Will catch these guys soon at hometown Lisbon, Portugal.

    Really looking forward to it!

  • 0:20 cameraman laugh

  • @ofMilwaukee Paul Shaffer laugh

  • This band is dope.

  • TV on the radio on TV

  • guitar looks like Pete Cosey used to look when he was younger... Can't be coincidence. Guitarists in "the know" love Pete Cosey (Miles Davis early 70's band)

  • Exciting sound. Humane, urgent vocals. Pixies-ish, unleashed intensity. A bit of the Black Crows' Bourbon-swagger. All beneath the wiry, tense modulation of Bowiesque, Berlin-era displacement. Or not.

  • @countingmx

    You just made some bullshit esque vocab up then hah

  • pressing 7 over and over again is terrifying

  • Can't get enough of this!!! Just wowwwwwwwww :D

  • Is that Bubble's cousin on guitar?

  • I love his flailing arm.

  • best band in the world.

  • 2:04 MY HAND IS A DOLPHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • pure genius!

  • @LibraHorse1 Lol

  • fuck this band is awsome. they could be the best band i have heard in a long time. but what is with ok calculator that album not so good

  • @TheControlsBand Not that the two bands sound much alike but it's probably more  like bloc party is the british version of tv on the radio. They came first ; )

  • damn. this still gives me goosebumps when i see it.

  • RIP bass Masta Gerard

  • @TheControlsBand not really

  • bad. ass.

  • I get to see them live on May 28!!!! Yahooooooooo!!!

  • How I wish I was at this performance, even through youtube's terrible audio and video I can tell it's amazing.

  • yeahhh.....................

    

  • I want to rub my face against Kip's beard.

  • fucking love this band, like im into punk rock and shit, and i just love this bands stage prescence it blows my mind O.o

  • look at t black people can do more music than only hip hop

  • @dafterable thats true!!! but he looks like a retard. his hand looks like it wants to do rap guestures

  • @dafterable Hey, what can you do besides dicksucking, troll.

  • Michael Stipe is probably the only other singer in the world w/ such a stage prescence and lots of jumping and dancing.

  • @GAdawgsfan93 woot?

  • Wow, thanks Late Show producers for mixing the sound so horribly. I sure do hear the guitar.

  • Gerards stage fright is so cute.

  • oh man RIP
