At 1:04 all you can do is sit in you computer chair or lye on your bed or whatever you are doing and smile at how amazing this is! Thumbs up if you agree!
utterly mind-blowing. i don't even understand it. it's just a well written song with some nice harmonies, but for some reason my jaw drops open when i listen to this song..
years and years i play guitar, always thought there is no one else who i can identify with, now i now that there is a black cab session and feel like seeing friends.
Gosh, hearing this NEVER gets old! Goosebumps every time! There is also a video of them singing another song in a bathroom hat's just as wonderful lol
Whether Grizzly Bear is performing live, jamming in a bathtube or a taxi cab. They just make it sound beautiful where ever they are. I think they should do one in a portapottie, but a clean one. I love these guys.
at first i thought: "musical recitals inside of moving cab??? how stupid is that???"
but i'm as wrong as possible this, the one with fleet foxes and MMJ's are very intimate felt performances i love these series i think i'll keep track of them ñ_ñ
I'm not really a fan of this band, but if their album sound like this, I would play it constantly. I listened to the studio track and this one back to back and their acoustic sound stripped down is far more rich. You can't really hear the harmonizing on the album track. I love this recording!
i love grizzly bear and am so glad to have been a fan from the beginning. they're a great addition to this generation of music. i can't wait to grow with them as their music grows! <3
I didn't think it was possible for a youtube clip to sound this good. So talented, it's in a cab, wow. Half the bands out there couldn't sound this good after months in a studio.
I wish I could see the fretboard more hahaha. I am trying to figure this song out and I'm lucky 'cause it's normally played in standard tuning but this version for somereason is down a half. I'm always down a half step hahaha.
the same vocal riff for the the ''carnival is calling'' us as the ''southern point is calling us'' bit..part of the interconnections and layers that make veckatimest so brilliant
There's something about his lack of camera-eye contact [at least within the live videos I've come across] that really draws me into him, he just seems very modest and shy despite how talented he seems to be. ^_^ Lol, I dunno i'm weird.
i get shivers when i hear this acoustic version of the song. i get the same feeling when a person i really admire confronts me and smiles. grizzly bear rocks!
Black Cab is the crucible for good musicians. The lack of space limits you with instruments, and cars are pretty much dead acoustically, which strips the vocalist of even the slightest amount of resonance. It's almost a challenge. "Come and play your music in this car. We dare you to sound good."
Wasn't really aware of Grizzly Bear until I stumbled upon their show at Austin City Limits. They are Brilliant live. Not a lot of groups can be as spectacular live as they are recorded. Grizzly Bear definitely can.
I got to see them live a few days ago. I was expecting them to be incredible, and then i was still totally blown away. They do it like no one else. So original and so well done.
Chris Bear isn't gay. Only Ed Droste is. I read an interview with Ed and he said he's the only gay one.
