Beirut - The Gulag Orkestar

[yootubesucks123]

something that just can't be captured on a record.

[SamuliS]

How I wish I'd been there!

[thedenimeffect]

you forgot owen pallett! i see him!

[Vaiseoquan]

@thedenimeffect @redstorm429

Owen Pallet was in Arcade Fire.

[nosdradomos]

9 people don't like this and I'm fine with that :)

[5152nori]

ブラス、ブラス、ブラス！最高！



[redstorm429]

Is that Owen Pallett back there on the violin?

[MajorFail1]

Together again in Hyde Park on June 30th :)

I'll be there

Let's see what happens

[xxDrudgeryReportxx]

Brilliant!

[eran11234]

amazing. great.

[sashaputin1]

come the 50th BRASS FESTIVAL! no sleep ...........

[yew2533]

looks like fun!!

[brooklynlulu]

No stimulants needed, this gives his own type of high! :=)

[ivanelectricity]

I think it needs more trumpet players :P

[152tbs]

what kind of trumpet does Zach Condon plays???

[DeezySwift]

@152tbs It's a flugelhorn with rotary valves. If you meant like exact brand or something I'm not exactly sure :D

[MusicianSmile]

@152tbs A rotary valve flugelhorn

[kingdomkey5362]

that must of been one heck of a show

[StrangerAeon]

awesome and decadent

[krismignolet]

Where are soap, ghost, worm, price and roach?

[dijimusik]

nice performance

[diehannelroe]

this was the place to be!

[Theycallmemrmoscow]

Wheres captain price?

[SingleActionArray]

@Theycallmemrmoscow Keep it up 141

[jko1992]

I wonder if Tom Waits was the first one to use the megaphone with a microphone. It gets an awesome sound, and its cool to see Zach using it too.

By the way, this is the best performance of any song I've seen on YouTube as of now.

[cheerocke]

i love Beirut , but somtimes when i wathing videos i think they are too much drink ;) and singing same like drinkers :P

[jesterlad09]

hey so my friend said he's saying "They call it night, they call it night, but i call it mine"

but I hear "They call it night, they call it night, and i know it well."

Is it different for the live version or is my friend hearing it wrong?

[olaeidon]

...visit Florina-Greece and you will see the roots of this mousic..........

"Beirut" very nice

[malarija83]

@olaeidon This is pure Serbian music, it has no roots in Greece.

[MrLubolupo]

No , it's just balcanic....after 5 beer you can dance or cry !

[andreithegreat]

agree

[dpoakaspine]

@MrLubolupo great comment :D

[MechA1994PL]

@MrLubolupo i will cry! before 5 beers...

[heyheyitsmj]

This is sick.

[gustaffos]

After five beers is so fucking magic...

[azulmetalisado]

Pantis???? Men I don't know what they do deserve but I guess is so much more. this Is one of the best things Ive ever heard

[PhilK22]

That's stretching it a bit, but there's nowt wrong with it.

Different.

Makes a pleasant change from the stenchfilled shit from the charts or "pop idol"

[Vaiseoquan]

I'm really surprised there isn't a maelstrom of panties and roses flying up from the audience.

This deserves that.

[PhilK22]

Why ?

[Fabsch84]

wow....want to be there

[erinmstick]

i love the guy with the tambourine at the beginning...i have a video of them performing this in paris and he gets so krunk

[museman15]

this is crazy, its like being transported to another time or something, as if it was being played in a town square somewhere in italy

[bofbeats]

Arcade Fire, Final Fantasy and Beirut? The best performance of this song that ever sounded and will ever sound in this world

[aliasnut4life]

magical and delicious

[kiliancrespoforto]

Музыка!

[moosdef]

Morceau de ouf

[musicpnppl]

who the hell is that girl jumping up and down

the video would b that much more epic if she wasnt there

[Darjeeding]

it doen't care !

music is made to be sharing no ?

I'm sure you would like to be on stage with the band too !

[mrlowdangle]

the musics great, her ass is cute, whats the problem?

i like to relax and get free to music, not moan at people enjoying themselves

[jascoolo]

Epic is lord of the rings... this is pure ...

[newyorkairsoft]

I heard Beirut on local WNYC and immediately bought their CDs via Amazon.

[younevergotmeright]

epic!

[LeaheyHoo]

hey guys, check out a new concert from Beirut on our page

[PriestsandParamedics]

So awesome!

[tinylittlenative]

this looks like so much fun!

[NoumaiosDeLaCampa]

If I could have been there with my trumpet...

[oldakustikblues]

[Rody1309]

i could get there with my violin! :D

[unfunkit]

simply orgasmic

[frenzacc]

[goosedeetz]

[lemonsalamander]

[yuliii]

ohhhmyygoooddd

this must have been AMAZING

[thetowerofbabel]

amazing song,

I'd love to know notes for the intro trumpet part. Anyone can send?

I know the notes for the trumpets after the intro, these are easy to work out, but i can't do it with the intro.

[MCMcWifey]

i wish i were on that stage...

[necroculto66]

such emotion in this damn song

[dangTree]

ahhhhhh greattt!!

[saksilangit]

so meditrenean..

[Andythestar9]

This is the most amazing thing that i have ever seen.

[delilahmrso]

Poor tambourine girl.  She is not fat and just looks like she was having a crazy good time.

[SherylandN]

what is the horn that zach plays? is that a trumpet, still?

[deluxity2]

it's either a flugelhorn or just a trumpet with rotary valves

[oldakustikblues]

Its a flugel

[kinziest]

50 trumpets, 1 fat chick with a tambourine, and Zach Condons incoherent bellowing...yup this is the greatest concert ever.

[theabuser21]

this looks like the best show ever.

[justinetruant]

[tessrobot]

[sndlwd]

[lillbill01]

Wow, wow,wow! makes me want to learn to play something...anything! Which members of the AF are up there?

[Dejital]

Looks like Win's younger brother and AF's trumpet player and Owen Pallet is in the center behind everybody.

[Sofie1989]

I really just love this song

[cbtbrulesindance]

it is beautiful. is that the full song?

[cbtbrulesindance]

wow. 2 of the best musical groups like EVER mix together to make a fantastic racket. even though it sounds like a whole bunch of clanging of pots and drunk men singing, its beautiful. it brought tears to my eyes...

[SeaEmpire]

I get you like but still, you actually think it sounds like the clanging of pots?

[cbtbrulesindance]

not really i just said that to make it clear that i think it sounds like a chaotic ruckus

[SeaEmpire]

Oh, alright cool, it does though, in a beautiful way.

[cbtbrulesindance]

true that, true that.

[dougzilla]

Extremely cool!!

Would have been so much fun to be there!!

[kablaaamo]

[batikiotis]

[Adrianpassos]

Just so wicked, sends a shiver up my spine !!

[tragic8ball]

[StrewnAsunder]

[StrewnAsunder]

(haha i added another X i am a COMIC GENIUS!) lol

[abecedarian123]

SO MUCH BRASS

:) x10000000000000000000000000000­00000000000

[hanquixotte]

[ADRIANAWANTSME]

[vacuumvi]

[aznstoner]

that has to be the best combination since Lamb and Tunafish, or spaghetti and meatball, hell it's better then peanut butter and jelly.

[Sanduloff]

best

[callmespecial]

wow! two of my favorites bands performing together. that's so awesome!

[fellwell]

now that was cool! bravo beirut bravo.

[ryantoob]

this must have been beyond divine to anyone who was there

[theonewaytrack]

This is gold.

[jorge1234]

although they played a set of this guys, the more conventional songs were left out,, doesn't matter haha love them anyway

[jorge1234]

I heard this group on the cultural channel on my local radio at Mty, Mexico, its just awesome, I fell instantly in love with the music this people make!

[starstrangledbanner]

Vaguely reminiscent of Mile Davis' "Sketches of Spain". Beruit is the ish!

[jaggysnake57]

i envy all who saw this for real. Fuckin awesome

[letnofootletnohand]

I cannot imagine how awesome it would have been to be there.

[swissmarie]

thats incredible

[akf2000]

Arcade Fire * Beirut = Awesome squared

[7VAGGOS]

where are they from?

[fake123]

Arcade Fire = from Montreal

Beirut = from Albuquerque, NM

[kablaaamo]

One of the violinists is Final Fantasy (right behind the tambourine girl)...he's from Toronto.

[therorysnake]

Isn't he in The Arcade Fire, too?

[bobarozzi]

Yup, yup, yup.

[Goara]

05.06.07 that's in two days ^^

[Jammykarrot]

Well, actually 5 is may. 6 is june. =)

[neonecropopulace]

Only in the US. In other places they do Day Month Year, which makes more sense, I think. It starts with the smallest and then gets bigger, as opposed to medium smallest, biggest.

[neonecropopulace]

Is that Final Fantasy?

[Cameronx]

That was a joy to watch and hear. Thank you.

[sambukha]

There were well over 19 musicians on stage. What a joy to watch.

[nutty119]

i'm so sad i missed it.

[lascivit]

i'm turning a lovely shade of green real fast.

[zosiarose]

Hey does anyone have a video of the other encore song?

[drtchocky]

I do... gonna post it later tonight.

[dswenson8]

dr. tchocky you're a god-send!!

[pampazine]
