[Shawnat1234]

Why is Chris complaining so much!?

[M1XR]

I think everyone here should thank Lyn for bringing them back to her place....

[gantonski]

at 4:00 isnt the guy in the bottom left from SNL? ;)

[danieltosh11]

@gantonski I don't think that's Bill Hader, just because of the afro. :D

[indieboi21]

AMAZIIIING!

[jixamn]

I favorited this video before it was even posted.

[Theblob516]

Holy shit. I favorited this before the video even started. 

[pommahawk5986]

so sick of all these comments about people who think they know what real music is and how bieber and shit are all fake. sure this is great music and i dont quite like bieber and co, but its just personal preference. chill the fuck out and enjoy the things that you personally enjoy

[TheKikidark]

- Y a des gens qui travaillent, peut-être que vous foutez rien mais nous voila.

- C’est de l’Art.

- A oui mais enfin l’art pour l’art, vous savez, ça nourri pas son monde! Y a un respect! et j’appartiens au conseil syndical de l’ENU alors...

- Excusez-nous mais c’est terminé.

- I’ll give it, give it, give it, give it, give it...

[TheRainforestt]

still enjoying and its morning !!!!!!!! )))

[TheRainforestt]

hey i just came home i saw song today on just a little moment and i saw what is all about .... enjoy the evening >"""" :((

[musicisakey]

man. i've had some parties in my place but i can't beat this. yeasayer. yeah!

[Dejinero]

SO...MELLOW

[maceo2]

Do more of these performances around the globe I bet you we can save the world.

[MrEducations]

You know you're good when you make hitting keys against a beer glass sound like a valid percussion instrument

[harrisonnantz]

Caliver would love to do A Take Away but we need your help! visit calivermusic.bandcamp.com and enjoy our lovely acoustic music and help us achieve our goal of having our music heard and appreciated!!

[menski83]

NIE MA LIPY! KONKRET EKIPA! KLIMAT GICIOR!

[RCohen2299]

The thing I like about "Tightrope" is how versatile the melody is- the versions in this video, the live video from "Dark Was The Night," and the recorded version are all so different, yet recognizably the same. Yeasayer, despite being heavily electronic in their recordings, displays such a high level of musicianship in their live performances.

[inearthsorbit]

this may be the single greatest moment in history, and i;m okay with that.

[ihatekhomeini]

@inearthsorbit Hehe, great comment, made me happy!

[googlenator2001]

if this had subtitles those 17 deaf people wouldn't have disliked this

[gw112]

My god they sound so good with so little. Such a cool raw sound

[ambzilla]

who the fuck would dislike this.



[paralysisboy]

this cameraman needs to shut the fuck up. ruins the beauty with his unecesssary chatter.

[Lexx559]

Im in love with them <3 sooo damn amazing!!

[CrasAnim]

Dear God,  Please let me one day be as musically talented as these fuckers

[swimdreamer]

i could see myself making love to that girl/woman at the front that is 'involved' whilst listening to yeasayer's catalogue.. her clothes would look good on my carpet..

[phoeberoze]

I just love the guy at 4:25 who looks so happy

(love when i do the wrong time hehe)

[phoeberoze]

I just love the guy at 9:07 who looks so happy

[MariposaCas]

This is my favorite video of La Blogotheque's Take-Your-Breath-Away shows.

[Galoag2012]

why is there a fuckin dislike button for this video...

[iaplminute]

bill hader at 3:58

[kurtwthiele]

Piano chords/tab?

[maarek93100]

[oddrunnner]

Pure joy.

[chillylollipop]

Hahahahahahha the old lady...

[emcee4CEE]

[ngrrplz]

[enewman411]

holy fuck this is what i want to do with my life

[ecopicable]

@enewman411 me too but saddly most of us will wind up in some shitty corporate

[BirdFluorescent]

@ecopicable everybody has the ability to decide their own fate

[ENOFJA]

It's just so amazing. so energetic. So awesome!

[ENOFJA]

HOLY MOLY. I really had to laugh out loud when they all sang and it gave me goosebumps.

[nedbread1]

yeah yeah we can all grab at the chance and be handsome farmers

[lacore1988]

is that dude trippin balls at 7:05?

[JungKuddy]

What's the song in the beginning? Not 2080.

[HeGivesTheTests]

@JungKuddy The first song is "No Need To Worry".

[JungKuddy]

LOL @ the happy ass guy at the 4:24 mark!!!!!

[theatlanticmonkey]

there isnt a single person in that room who isnt smiling

[musingsfromme73]

I wanna smack the person who rang the door bell ruining a perfect moment.

But I got chills watching this. Amazing

[kurtwthiele]

Piano chords?

[thrownfree]

@kurtwthiele Chords for "Tightrope" are basically D - D/B - A - D. Pretty simple. I haven't tried to pick out 2080 yet.

[football101a]

god the one time I would not be frowned upon for being fd up and having pitstains and I miss. Would of been a fun time with that brittany murphy look alike

[triton199]

I saw them live in chicago december 30th 2010 their show before the new years show. needless to say it was fantastic, we were some of first people thru the door, i was about 4 rows back from the front of the stage right in the middle. one of the best shows i've ever been to! them playing 2080 as the last song was VERY moving.

It’s a New Year/ I’m glad to be here/ It’s a fresh spring/ So let’s sing.

[floydlandisfoprez]

Going to see them in June in Toronto! Couldn't be more excited.

[jb48999]

fuck offffffffffff. 13 dislikes... piss off will you... seriously..... i have an artificial intelligent computer here which started crying when it heard this... :)

[DreamingBelize]

I dig Take Away Shows. They are always full of surprises and amazing performances. This one is no exception.  I am so in love with this band!

[chloemarie28]

This made me cry. Holy shit

[9804216]

12 people don't want to be handsome farmers?

[GuitarFreakReegs]

I like how everyone stops singing cuz the words are too fast and confusing for them to read and sing

[witsujtv]

@GuitarFreakReegs No... They didn't write those lyrics down for them to sing.

[themadhurt]

Damn, how did I miss the awesome hammock in the background?

[ashriels]

This is such a beautiful performance.

[duckiesgoqu4ck]

Wow.

[deadgalsdontcry]

Oh my. :]

[silversunstar18]

This is SO GREAT. Like beyond words =]

[nisto95]

This makes me feel happy.

[MrDonutslut]

some 1 tab this on piano plz

[bilbofuckingbeutlin]

@MrDonutslut just google it, man theres plenty tabs

[themadhurt]

It's when they sound better in a cramped house with people smoking and singing out of tune and they still sound better live then recorded that you know you have just found real music

[chinneths1]

one of the best things i have ever seen... i wish i was there

[QKEEEL]

i love them SO SO SO SO SO much

[iviceversa]

wonderful. wonderful. wonderful!

[vaginitischlamydia]

This version of tightrope is amazing...actually better than the recording

[leakeg]

@vaginitischlamydia agreed!

[mcfatty007]

Less than 1 in 100 people dislike this video. They are from communist russia, where youtube video likes you.

[FrancheskaL]

I could cry right now. this is just... I cant!! I JUST CANT!

A M A Z I N G

[colleenr825]

I'm pretty much in love with these guys. If I'd been there, I probably would have to be pried off of one or more of them with a crow bar... that is, if I even got my wits together enough to stop standing there looking like I was seeing Jesus.

[muserwood]

Excellent performance ! AND I have the exact same marlinespike knife as the tall guy.

[LuksBoi]

This is beautifull <3

[allthenectar]

Look at the fucking energy in this band. They are so in love with music, and that is saying a lot these days about bands. You hear shit on the radio everyone just needs to take shots and bop their fucking heads to but they don't actually enjoy the music. This band did something for me, but I apologize for ranting. :)

[heyjunky]

@allthenectar no need to apologize, brother!! you're right on!!

[VolksSoul93]

@allthenectar not "ranting" if were all thinkin the same thing ;)

[avisionaree]

@allthenectar I totally agree, creating and sharing music for the sake of their love, passion and fun for it!

This is why I really appreciate bands like this!

[avisionaree]

@allthenectar I totally agree, creating and sharing music for the sake of their love, passion and fun for it!

[SuperApparition]

@allthenectar Exactly. Keep ranting.

[leafvillagemonster]

@allthenectar Not all popular music is crap, just sayin'.

[indiended]

Wonderful

[stillian45]

whats the song at 0:16 - 1:15

[danieltosh11]

@stillian45 No Need To Worry by them.

[agustuff]

how can i download the song???

[eyeballkid1021]

I've got chills.

[mitchpurnell]

I'm guessing the 12 people to dislike this were the neighbors in the video.

[JR1840]

i would faint if i was there

[colton422]

(panting, tired, sore legs, exhausted)..... this is how I feel on the STAIRMASTER at my gym! hahaha

[Jwayse]

What song are they singing in the beginning?

[preste101]

@Jwayse and @Gazzarth i do believe it is No Need To Worry

[Gazzarth]

What's the song at the very start?

[kodoffiannan]

Dude, i m glad to have this awesome sound everyday bcause of your blog.

thx a 1000 times for this!!!!

One of the best i have ever seen!!

F***ng amazing!

b@k 2 da ROOTS

[jesusb00ts]

Chris Keatings voice has such character i love it!

[historian68]

Yea! .....I say.

Yes, DEFINITELY burst with (something?), watching/hearing these true musicians!

Does music & good will get any better than this?

[BicycletteQueen]

"Y a des gens qui travaillent, vous vous en foutez peut-être (...) y a un respect" blablabla. Tu mérites surtout qu'on te jette des cailloux dessus oui

[charlottevanholthe58]

This is the best thing ever

[avedic]

you know they passed around a bowl before this. :) this is so inspiring. all recorded music should strive toward this sort of effortless brilliance.

[ChernobylTaco]

At the beginning, him saying, "How big is your house." I thought something else was gonna said....

[ivyfishbone]

I'm in love with this too. I watch when I need to feel better about life.

[hunterthemanvox]

Yeah Yeah we can all grab at the chance and be handsome farmers,

Yeah you can have twenty one sons and be blood when they marry my daughters,

And the pain that we left at the station will stay in a jar behind us.

We can pickle the pain into blue ribbon winners at county contests.

[Sandertjegoeteyn]

@hunterthemanvox At last some clarity in the chaos of Yeasayer's marvelous lyrics!

Thanks!

[Habicht0815]

these guys are real mad nerds. ^^ like them a lot!

[skabashas]

By far, the best Take Away Show.

[5Danjohn]

fuck the 11 people that pressed dislike

[moviefactor]

amazing, shivering good, going to see them live tonight in Amsterdam! looking forward to it!

[Hobbis5]

lol, chick in the butterfly shirt is making random mouth movements, not at all in line with what they're saying.

[Casbaah]

i think that was the most i ever shivered watching a clip on youtube.

[tranquilosmith]

Guitarguy - Yea I was at the Masquerade in ATL. The show was awesome. I got some great pics and my buddy got some video. We made friends with these 3 girls from DC and drank a ton of XX beers. I think the opener was "The key to music" they were pretty good. Then some homeless guy walked with us for like 8 blocks and escorted us to the subway and talked about how awesome the Ravens were. We gave him like $5 and then blacked out at this bar with a fountain.

[chojinosebest]

3:59 one of the guys looks like bill hader.

[boominju]

whooh!!! great!!!!!

[tashlosung]

how the hell do I get invited to these things?!

[7LBurna7]

Great stuff...its also hilarious to watch the little girl in the white. She wants to know the words so bad but just doesn't quite know them. She still opens her mouth and pretends to sing though...its killing me ha ha

[guitarguy022412]

I saw these guys in atlanta last saturday at the masquerade. It was absolutely amazing.

[guitarguy022412]

I saw these guys in atlanta last saturday at the masquerade. It was absolutely amazing.

[kingserj1]

this must be the most amazing video on youtube

[tranquilosmith]

This seems like a perfect random night! I can honestly say I have had only 1 experience like this ... makes my toes tingle with nostalgia. These guys are on another level. Cant wait to see them on Saturday in Atlanta.

[guitarguy022412]

@tranquilosmith

You were there at the Masquerade? That was my first time seeing them live, and it was simply stunning.

[tranquilosmith]

@guitarguy022412 Agreed ... They put on one hell of a show.

[encomiastic]

@tranquilosmith

they weren't that good in Melbourne, but they had to play a second gig straight after though, so I think they were holding back a bit.

kind of disappointing :(

[ECsponger2]

I wish I had cooler friends that I could do this with every weekend, get drunk and make music

[mushroomlint]

why havnt more people seen this

[horseluv830]

I watch this all the time and it never gets old. I still get that warm tingling feeling.

[robinheil]

this kinda reminds me of MGMT's "Time to Pretend". these guys are living my dream- going around the world and playing beautiful music with beautiful people

[imacomputer101]

he sounds unsure of himself. i feel his anxiety...

[MeltingMolecules]

This video makes me feel like when my time comes to die...everything will be ok :) I'm 23

[ChanceCooper125]

This is a fucking amazing and fun video. Thanks again LaBlogetheque for your brilliance and innovation.

[crazyEMMY]

AMAZING!!!!!!! 

[aidan321pw]

one word for this video....talent

[TheDigitalEric]

I love this, even if the shaker is just killing my fucking ears.

[GyPoChaoZ]

10 persons see this video upside down

[discodivaspotter]

:: Yeah Yeah we can all grab at the chance and be handsome farmers ::

[CouturePlastique]

i want to be in that hammock

[NZartfuldando]

These, my friends, are real musicians.

[swimdreamer]

@NZartfuldando i have loved them for so many years.. i finally saw them live in perth, australia a month ago.. i was so disappointing.. cough cough.. they were so much better than the bliss i expected.. they are up there with sigur ros, radiohead and pearl jam.. (in my opinion)

[suffni]

Aaaaw it's awesome!!!! Damn good!! I could listen this forever... clearly thums up, and like and everything same :)

[peach1187]

yeyessss!!!! i luv them damn it

[lessobvious]

that was great!!

[aidan321pw]

those 8 people who click the thumbs down button obviously sneezed or mis-clicked the wright button

[sthefanytogeiro]

Nossa, esse vídeo é um dos melhores que já assisti!

[alexs1422]

Because of La Blogotheque, I picture Paris to have this antique, golden color Moon uses in his video in real life

[MarieKR]

I wanna sing with them, too!

[nikki3231]

Awesome

[blondie6235]

I'm so in love with this, I think I've watched it every day for the past week since I found it on youtube. God Damn.

[ilovebamboocharlie]

@blondie6235 me too. i love this so much

[darthood]

@blondie6235 I'm right there with you!

[swimdreamer]

@blondie6235 only the past week? - it is phenomenal hey.. i finally got to see them live this year.. ummmmmmm wow dot com

[Matthitizidu]

For every 100 people that like like .75 of a person dislike this song. You'd think that the 7 thumbs down people might realize they're wrong, statistics proves it.

[al9008]

I like this version of 2080 better than the studio one.

[malikaw24]

His voice sounds so good when hes singing the song before 2080 when theyr climbing the stairs

[Matthitizidu]

@malikaw24 That song before 2080 is actually from the No Nead to Worry/ Redcave video.

[firer1]

"YEAH YEAH"

[zuza0anna]

It's soooo fucking great! You're amazing!

[gcorking12]

why is tightrope not on the album. it's so awesome

[chimike19]

@gcorking12 Because Tightrope is on the compilation Dark Was The Night. You have to check it out. Amazing artists all on one CD with originals and a lot of collaborating on songs (Bon Iver with the National, Feist with Grizzly Bear, Dirty Projectors with David Byrne, etc.). Incredible album.

[ChocolateRain68]

I miss the old Yeasayer...

[zhibyful]

this is just great. it's so nice to just see "down for anything" attitudes on musicians. very inspiring.
