Electric Feel - MGMT (Live) - Mercury Lounge (NYC 03-14-10)

[Ysmnable]

Why the hell do people keep saying their live performance is lack luster? If I could get a good quality recording of their live songs, I would much, much more prefer to listen to them over the live recordings.

[MindlessHotel]

This sounds really good compared to a live performance in 2008...

[poopyscoopy5]

Also at 5:11 the recording speeds up ahahhaha

[poopyscoopy5]

He is not playing that guitar..

[yessi82b]

[YoourElectricFeel]

[aerlingus18]

lamest croud ever

[Seattleman90]

@aerlingus18  for realllllll

[ZataMachi]

MGMT is really not a live band if your looking for action, but if you love the music itself and your looking for spirit it is worth it. Because MGMT is told to be one of the best pop psychedelic musicians and has some really pimped songs on their two latest albumes, people expect a little too much. I mean, performing the songs as they are released on the albumes is nearly impossible. Still worth watching them live I guess.

[1076thestuff]

@ZataMachi I would love to see them live, it is a little lack luster vs the recordings. However as a musician I agree it would be impossible to pull that off. I love the music and the lyrics though, timeless stuff there.

[zeeoz1786]

lets get some lights please lol. sounds amazing though!

[argrocks321]

awesomee

[pearljamporch]

I LOVE THE END OF SIBERIAN BREAKS!!!

[GiftedKidd]

siberian breaks is an amazing song

[radioheadz91]

i like the new live version of electric feel

[aer0kid1088]

@radioheadz91 the little interlude between the first chorus and second verse sounds amazing...

[oddyseyhazard]

"siberian breaks"

[mclovin1617]

any idea how they get that kind of sound for the end of siberian breaks?? Sounds so good.

[JoeLUL]

That intro is on the last 2 minutes of "Siberian Banks" on the album. Sucha trippy sound. I guarantee a lot of rappers will use this. Mark my words!

[MashD19]

@JoeLUL think you'll find is the outro then don't you think

[JoeLUL]

@MashD19 Huh? I don't understand your statement. I meant to say "The intro on this video is the outro to Siberian breaks, which will be used by rappers in the future"

[Xavierrex3]

@JoeLUL "siberian breaks"

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

Thanks. Great stuff.

[Somone23]

the speed up at 5:10 is hilarious

[DimebagsLeftToe]

god... whats with ben? few wrong notes.. but overall amazing. andrews voice has improved ten fold

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@DimebagsLeftToe

Word. He's been singing great live recently. Big improvement.

[MadcapKid23]

Ahh i see. Good job JoeDonut. Thanks for letting me know it was in this video.

[tashlosung]

no no i agree I love the simplicity of their shows, not everybody does though. I appreciate bands that just do what they do, put the gimmics aside you know. You can have huge lights and crazy explosives and all that, but that's when people have seizures, and shucks thats not cool.

ps i love the first minute of this song! haha

[owengorkon1]

the first minute is the last minute of siberian breaks...check it out hahah.

[tashlosung]

haha yeah i know, siberian breaks is my fave on the album. i wish the end went forever

[owengorkon1]

yeah it's like a giant chill happy trip hahaa

[IsraelSaves]

Your girlfriend must appreciate the new guitar strap

I personally acknowledge the hair touches

[IsraelSaves]

I thought this song was not about your penis but upon further examination...

[chicamoee]

it was the end of siberian breaks

[kerrigwen]

thanks bb. =)

[kerrigwen]

What was that bit in the beginning from?

[say12thebear]

not as epic live huh

[JOEDONUT]

It was a small venue. I think a lot of people expect more from their live shows but I don't mind the simpleness.

[julienalexandre]

They still can't meet people's expectations on stage, just like Passion Pit. The albums are great but the live shows aren't. It's ok though, not all bands can be good on stage, i respect that. They are a studio band, but i still love what they do.

[jwsg90]

@julienalexandre

You got no idea champion.

[justyn87]

@JOEDONUT In the latest Rolling Stone they admit that they're not great live entertainers.

[AUBACKEWAUWAUWAU]

@justyn87 i liked their snl performance tho

[kerrigwen]

They like to play around with different sounds/moods for the live versions, I'm sure they do it knowingly. They have played it album-like, but so often the vibe is just better when they do something different. =)

[say12thebear]

too bad i cant give your comment two thumbs up haha

[TheWarehouse100]

this is a private show. no big electrical stuff that makes an actually concert. theres a big difference
