Mumford & Sons perform Roll Away Your Stone at Glastonbury 2011

[logotgr]

Why is it that it seems the coolest and biggest music festivals are all somewhere in Europe? I've seen a lot of relatively new artists like Florence & the Machine and now Mumford & Sons play in seemingly huge outdoor arenas in various European countries. Plus, unlike American concerts, the crowd doesn't seem 'drunk rowdy' but are all still absorbed in the performances. and their cinematography captures the essence of the performance so much better.

[indiegyal87]

Man I wish they would put out some more music on iTunes! I am so in love with this band. Wish I could see them live!!!!

[adamclancey]

What an awesome night this was, I was soaked and muddy, cold, and loving every single minute! Roll on 2013!

[felixmul]

[zeedgend]

[deanfoster123]

[Englishlad112]

[opinion5678]

[eufone]

@Englishlad112  ditto the girl at 2:40 !!

[andyyoung1990]

@Englishlad112 so true. she looks so happy. shes lovely :)

[RagdollRalph]

@Englishlad112 She looks like anakin from the phantom menace. (Not in any negative way i mean)

[hightownbrawl]

[MsCoffeeman1]

@hightownbrawl what? no they fucking didnt you liar

[statezeromusic]

@barbearasmash ye the mischiefs and mumford n sons my two favourite bands of 2011 so inspirational

[rarted1234]

@statezeromusic right on!!! did the mischiefs play glasto this year?

[dirtyravestar]

@statezeromusic the mischiefs are a bit more upbeat and wacky though not sayin that is a bad thing though

[MichaelMcDonagh94]

@barbearasmash There is no next year!!!

[awsinger1]

Aw poor winnie was ill when he was at glasto this year :[

He did pretty well considering xD

Amazing performance

[zeedgend]

The violin makes this even better. Mumford & sons <3 forever

[InvisibleVoices16]

Damn I wish I'd been there!!!

[stevieonetime]

I was there and it was top five highlight of my first Glastonbury,truly emotional!!!

Seems that all my bridges have been burnt, but you say thats exactly how this grace thing works

[123DJEdwards]

love this performance just cuz of the violin they added! love it!

[DoctorWha]

Respect for the whole bluuegrass vibe coming out on this sesh.

Good job boys

[foghornleghornish]

Fascinating to read the love, hate, comparison, digs etc. All that matters, surely, is that the music sounds great and leaves you with a smile on your face

[Zakhar10203]

He is literally steaming!

[Yoursaffectionately]

wow.. goosebumps upon my entire body! How could anyone dislike this??

[geentijdvoor]

@Steoandnoodles1 yep, he did! unfortunately BBC "blocked" al the footage of this show so i cant show it to you anymore...

[handknitviolin]

Does anyone know what Marcus is doing at :50? Awesome performance, I would have given a leg to be there,

[jedd1995]

@handknitviolin He is telling the sound man to turn his guitar up in the monitor. He must have felt he couldn't hear himself well enough.

[handknitviolin]

@jedd1995 Thanks!

[BenIsAMetalHead18]

@Steoandnoodles1

thats fair enough likes. but musicians will do what they do! haha they're completely mental! i should know as i am one :P don't play folk stuff though, im a cellist :L but i can understand what i think is the reason they dress folky :)

[geentijdvoor]

i think the only reason people mention fleet floxes and mumford and sons in 1 line is because Marcus mentioned them during this show... he called them the one of the best bands in the world.. thats all!

[RAJYemm89]

tell the women at 1:48, im inlove, lol :D

[thetreesify]

the reason people argue with mumford and sons and fleet foxes is because, if you ask me, fleet foxes are passionate and genuine and unpretentious and put alot of thought and soul into their work, mumford and sons, imo, are maybe a little more glorified and over rated and are like wealthy english boys pretending to be country folk musicians, just saying

[ChloeMeehanify]

I was there, it was amazing, thankyou for the beautiful music : )

[weareallstrange]

I want to go back in time and be there!

[Hetticus]

Wish I was there!!



[foghornleghornish]

Amazing music - feel happy and energized after listing to their music .... and also at 1:48

[Marlens93]

ahah that girl at 1:45!!! I am almost crying of happiness and sadness at the same time because I wasn't there

[GABULINAkeane]

@Steoandnoodles1 oh, and by the way, ive also seen them band members going to other london gigs, and funny enough, marcus (and all of them) are always dressing "folky". with the exactly same clothes than for "show time"...

[GABULINAkeane]

@Steoandnoodles1 i couldnt help myself when reading about the "falseness" and "staged" in your comment. It happens that i saw the band back in 2007, when they were playing a underground venue in Notting hill (communion club, which still being run by one of the mumford members) and i can bloody tell, marcus was pretty much dressed with the same clothes than in glasto, 4 years later! they are the less staged band around the uk. i swear. i wish you could read about them before judging :(

[Zomirso]

Best live band...EVER

[tabi697]

I love how real this is. Just a few friends, on a stage, loving life

[awsinger1]

GAH!

Winston grew his beard again... its sexyyyy :]]

Amazing performance As usual xD 

[BenIsAMetalHead18]

@Steoandnoodles1

probably the reason they dress up in a folk manner is to get themselves more into the music so they can put on a better performance. a musician will do what is needed to put on a great show, if they feel they need to dress up to get into the spirit of the music, so be it! because it works for them! they sound fantastic! :)

[tallpaddy]

l thought mumford and sons were undertakers but l was wrong- they're folk rockers from London- seen them the other night supporting Arcade Fire- they were okay- it's like they do well with this type of genre- but they aint reinventing the wheel

[garytray1984]

@tallpaddy 1 has 2 ask how exactly do u go about reinventing the wheel these guys are a breath of fresh air

[IMIeursaultGaming]

@TheMrJevz Jevz is a homo. Also, thanks for the link on twitter, enjoyed it. They were still better at Beni :D

[cwscpfc]

Saw them supporting Arcade Fire the other night and they were so unbelievably shit. Joke band.

[baggiebev]

both are fantastic bands..saw both of them...couldnt choose between them, and why should we...vive the difference,,,and thank god bands like this exist...also bellowhead gave a fabulous set

[vinskafan]

i was there they were great but there was loads of noise bleed from the glade stage and you could hear drum and bass booming from there which was poor!! but i will say again mumford were shit hot just bad planning by glastonbury :-(

[TimberWolf336]

Why does everyone compare this band to Fleet Foxes... why is it a battle of who's better? They both are extremely different bands. Mumford is bluegrass folk with a Celtic vibe. Fleet foxes are a harmony baroque folk group with a calm profound grace.

I suppose the comparison lies within the perception of their fans in the world. Mumford being the biggest folk group in the UK and Fleet foxes being the biggest folk group in USA...? There success as independent artists is how we base our judgment?

[mimig14]

Ugh. So irritating. This is more blue-grass. And the lead singer's voice is sooo obnoxious. Fleet Foxes are millions of times better. But that's just my opinion...

[SilkyScarvesHD]

get the fuck over hipster bashing. they are awesome nonetheless

[gogolplex74]

Mumford & Sons are a band that it is simply not cool to like. Despite there being tons of “hip” indie bands that have a lot of similarities to Mumford & Sons, the simple fact of the matter is that this band didn’t have to toil away in relative international obscurity for years a la The Decemberists or The Frames, so it’s simply not cool to like them. Only when a band has two or three albums go unheard does it make it okay for the hipster community to appreciate a good band.

[gogolplex74]

@gogolplex74 I didn't write this myself. I got this from RateYourMusic user audiophobia,m but I absolutely agree with him, so i wanted to post his opinin here

[gogolplex74]

fleet foxes are for hipsters, Mumford and sons rock!

[dankelly911]

@gogolplex74 that is not true

[nwr1990]

they are just absolutely amazing!! <3

[boomaslang]

why are they reaching for them? it's not as if they'll be able to touch them

[sacasada]

I love Mumford and Sons and love the fact that they added a fiddle player!!!!

[joryabc]

i was there at the front of the crowd near enough, this could be best part of my life so far?

[MUFCxRikki]

YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH­HHHHHHH!!!!

[uuuz6]

wish ben would stop thrashing his head up and down he will get brain damage

[uuuz6]

I wish Ben would stop thrashing his head he will get brain damage

[gct1986]

How is it possible to dislike this??? Such an awesome song :-)

[mylobster27]

Love the strings! Mah Boys playing Mah favorite tune :D

[colakeks1]

stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,

stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,

stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp,

stomp, stomp, stomp, YEAH!

[welljer]

For those of you calling this folk music id say its wayyyy closer to bluegrass!

[15musician1995]

@welljer who cares what it is? I tend to focus on the fact that it sounds fucking awesome.

[AFK337]

That crowd looks like a circus!!

[1988doherty]

i was their didnt really no most of their songs but at the end loved them so glad i was their to see them best ever

[AnnieeBubble]

i loved the violin dude at the back, the whole way through he had so much energy! shimmying, jumping, he totally rocked it! :')

[MLynnJo]

OMG



[adamclancey]

Anyone else paused this several times trying to find themselves in the crowd?

[nattaere]

@adamclancey lucky bastard! If they ever play Glastonbury again im definitely buying a ticket :)

[10funhouse]

I live in Russia and I hate this fact!!! Because there is nobody who can sing and make music like this!!! I LOVE MUMFORD&SONS!!! And I love all of british bands! I hate fucking russian music!!! I wanna live in London!!! Britain, you have so talented and gorgeous musicians!!! I love you!!!

[sparkle712]

#1 on my list of things to do before i die: see mumford and sons live.

[TheFacelessBoy]

All the people getting to the Pyramid Stage early for U2 didn't realise that one of the greatest gigs of all time was going down on the Other Stage XD

[Dodo11231]

[LivP101]
