[gpchris95]

[TheCoJumbo]

EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!!!

[bilbob1997]

Thanks so much! This is one of my all time You Tube favourite videos!

[MetalSkater34]

amazing

[88Mbizzle]

What an amazeing group of musicians

[th130]

dut dut dut dut daa da daaa da duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[glennyW]

i dont know bout y0us.... but i just played it again

[Paan987654321]

this is the third pair of pants this week that was ruined due to this song

[jlb9889]

I was in the fourth row at this show =)

[SeanOCasey10]

Johnny Marr.

[39Jesse]

I can't express how thankful I am you caught this. I was at this show I'm from gillette Wyoming and since this I haven't seen a better live version. Maybe it's cause we were there I dunno but there's so much good emotion in this and I watch this everynight before I unwind from my long bar shift or while I'm unwinding. Thank you sir so much it brings back good moments in my life and I thank you again

[M0nkeeman1200]

I came. (as a rat)

[Enriquezimirish]

Sweet zombie jesus is this awesome

[lilmook26]

I 'came as a rat' referrence!!!

[Sugadaddy774]

This looks like an awesome concert venue, color me jealous. 

[greedbrigand]

I love this soo much! Whenever i find someone who knows who modest mouse is all i hear is about their song float on. They've made soo much better music then that one song ^^

\

[MrAssapopulas]

@greedbrigand I'm so sick of hearing about Float On. They've made so much better (King Rat, Dramamine, Bukowski, etc) I mean it's still a great song and all, just can't stand the people who are like "OH YEAH I LOVE MODEST MOUSE" when the only song they know is Float On.

[asskicker54]

MAARRRR!!!! :D :D :D

Modest Mouse is one of the greatest bands freaking ever

[ilovetubedisaster]

i love that fucking trumpet!!!!!!!!!

[arefx]

Wish there was a pro shot recording of this song but this wviseo will have to for. Soooo great

[tomjayrodnoble]

Isaac is the roger waters of are time

[mikeyj80]

@tomjayrodnoble

our time, but yes.

[notinwater]

I wish they played this song when I saw them in concert.

[bldki]

I loved the bit of I came as a rat they threw in there. Its funny because the main music for Spitting Venom and I came as a rat are just the same chords arpeggiated differently.

[40sTheme]

@bldki But the chords aren't arpeggiated at all... I think I get that you're trying to say the chords are just arranged differently, though.

[MASTERDRAIN]

best band alive

[silkcutdave]

this is probably my favourite song . that trumpet is awesome 

[Hobofish11]

i like all the shit that's on stage :)

great show!!!

[Confusling]

"He's never gonna cut his fucking hair!!!" :D

[stevieray345]

I CAME AS A RAT!!!!!!!!! :D

[heylover3]

oh my god.. this is an amazing video. super clean sound! thanks for posting! I'm in awe at how clean and on point these guys are. A real class act. First rate professionals!

[clarkshapedbox]

That shits heavier than any metal band that i listen to. I fucking love these guys

[thtsritesun1212]

yeeeeaaaah i was there!!! god how i wish i could go back in time and see that show again!!

[Guercinator]

When I play this on bass, it is different than how Eric plays it in this video, either he is tuned differently, or I am just wrong, but mine sounds very accurate so hhmmm??

Also, if you LOVE Modest Mouse, go to my channel

[afrecords01]

Awesome video man, i play this one all the time when I have a craving for spitting venom

[keeffesk8]

[JimmJacob]

[kmott03]

[netgeek]

God, I gotta see these guys in concert again...

[Dist719]

What's going on with the.. two drummers..? O.o

[nomorenames6393]

they are just badass like that lol

[Sagebigly7]

Yes...they are!

[VirtualSting]

One of them is the original drummer, Jeremy, and the other one joined on from the Smiths I think?

[OMGITSEMALYN]

no way the other drummer was from the smiths?

[VirtualSting]

Oh, wait I was wrong. The guitarist is from the smiths.

The drummer is from Black Heart Procession

[BenHorton94]

@VirtualSting and currently The Shins

[jiminy82]

@Dist719 technically it's one drummer, because, technically, one of them is a percussionist. ;)

[methefraz]

The Trumpet is crazy where Modest gets it sound from is beyond me it takes me to a different place keep playing Modest keep playing.

[jerfjuraf]

cheer up baby it wasnt all that bad

for every venom that was spit out

an antedote was had

fucking great man

[Mindbinge03]

The trumpet is so fucking epic!!!!

[lizardoblivion]

oh how i wish i was there!

[WontYouPickMe]

The trumpet at 3:46 Epic O_o

[TheModestMouseHouse]

Why do people have to come around and be fuck heads all the time! Fuck you, you don't like modest mouse go somewhere else and listen to all the other bullshit out there that all sounds the fucking same! Gimme a break, fuck the modest mouse haters, let them hate they don't know what real music is anyway....

Thanks for the upload.. Recorded Very Well....

[konradharla]

so true

[TheModestMouseHouse]

YEAH!

Thanks.........

[0thekillers00]

@TheModestMouseHouse if i could i'd like this a million times

[mikeleonardd80]

@TheModestMouseHouse  asshole, there really good, i agree. in my top, but dont be a dick about it

[te4sland]

Youtubers,

Isaac hates every single one of you. Shutup.

[samuelsons01]

the vocals a t 5:23 are awesome

[TobascohotlikeMM]

These guys r so sick just watch isaac rip on that guitar...hes the FREAKING BEST

[TheBrooksK]

This is so great I love MM

[lyleeggs]

oh my god this is amazing... when i saw it live i literally wanted to start crying. thank you so much for this

[darktor]

lol wtf?

[wwjoeyd]

modest mouse give me the greatest chills

little better than the chills my girlfriend gives me

haha :P

[zachandthebigdaddies]

i was at that show and it was one of the greatest shows i have ever seen.

[mabryzealand]

this song is on the same level of awesomeness as trailer trash, teeth like god's shoeshine, or any of their other greats

[4lfred20]

and it's made of the same chords as 'i came as a rat'

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

i cant help but dislike johhny marr, becasue once he joined the band, a bunch of smiths fans started listening to modest mouse, and called it "johnny marr's new band"

[AlteracValleySucks]

Not true at all. I grew up listening to the Smiths on a count of my dad, and i started listening to modest mouse around 1998, when i found out marr was touring, and btw he did not join the band, i was excited but i wasn't saying that.

[pap3rplat3]

god that trumpet is awesome when it kicks in.

[Basshead51]

kudos to the trumpet for bringing the tempo back under control.

gosh, this is amazing

They almost never play in the south though, unless it's Florida or something.

If they could go to Texas or somewhere close to Louisiana I'd be very pleased.

[pap3rplat3]

They come to Oklahoma a lot. Don't know if that's too far for you but kinda close :)

[qgriffosu]

yeah but sadly there not coming back to oklahoma for awhile :(

[represent601]

They come to MS quite frequently.

[KyUHLz]

i was there, too bad they fuckin opened for shitty ass r.e.m. they should have headlined. Modest mouse is problly the best band around today.

[m0destm0useisg0d]

they came to toronto and opened for REM as well and i totally agree REM blows their entire set sounded like one long ass song it was terrible.

[dragoona14]

This is why Modest Mouse is my favorite band,

I went to a concert once and they seem like they have a blast jamin' out on stage.

They truly are the best

[Cheshykid]

this song live by far is the best mm has ever done

[MaxstertheBard211]

This has slowly become my favorite song by Modest Mouse of all time. I thought it was kinda weak when I first heard it, but then I started listening to the album from start to finish a few times and everything about this song stood out.

[Snnowboard]

word

[modestmouse101290]

i feel you, that trumpet and then the little riffs that come in are just so beautiful

[phencer42]

I love Modest Mouse. They are easily my favorite band and after listening to all their music there isn't a single song I don't like. This is currently my favorite song of all time it is just sublime and has an absolutely beautiful sound to it. The band is full of talent and they come together perfectly in this song.

[persona19]

I like them too, but they have plenty of garbage songs.

[MasterKenobi1771]

1:20 was epic

[aHeartofButtons]

AGREED.

Also, this has really really great quality! I don't care if the bass buzzes on this a wee bit, this song is no doubt within their top 5!

[BADFISH417]

damn!! wish i was on tour with them

[jeminiany222]

hahaha, and i wish the same thing for me

[samuelsons01]

one of the greatest songs to see modest mouse perform live.

[ddenn]

do they normally hve 2 drummers?

[zyfoxmaster]

Mhm Joe Plummer and Jeremiah Green

[thejsrock]

FuckKK i love this song soo muchhh

[jeminiany222]

man i love his voice... very unique and different

[soulsIn80]

this rocks

[ElWeasle]

Awesome. Wish the crowd would shut the fuck up but what can you do?

[gaphary]

fuck, I could have saw them last night, but my dad was sick -_-

[Sagebigly7]

lol i'd been like..."Ya know dad, you're not gonna live forever." I'd been at the concert!

[nadiaboo1]

I KNOW!! I saw them twice in seattle in '07 at the showbox theater. My cousin was turning 21 and we jumped the border into the states from b.c. to see the show! I was so impressed (first time ever heard of them) that I saw the show the second night! Which was better because it wasnt all ages the second night so it was much moire easy going...I LOVE EM TO DEATH NOW!!

[graves47]

they put on such a great fucking show, i love modest mouse, probably one of the best bands i'll hear until i die

[jmervyn]

Oh yeah...that's Jonny Marr.

[icu3431]

I'm so excited! I get to see these guys next week!

[gaphary]

Dam these guys are so great live!

It would be awesome to see them!

[pianofreak711]

i love this band!!! but it's sad how it doesn't seem like the audience is even paying attetion..............!!

[dinoman2222]

we pretty much werent. it was kinda raining and we were all waiting for REM to come on. sorry if this offends mouse fans, but REM blew them away

[Dexatron101]

Ah man, when that trumpet comes in, proper immense :D

[kurt2552]

isaac is a fucking beast.

[jason230marusic]

that was amazing. would've been visually amazing if it were dark out..then the lights would have done something special

[FearAndFascination]

I was in the second row on the left of this concert. It was a good one. He kept saying he was gonna play cowboy dan but he never did, still cool though.

[donthurtme117]

OMG they merged into i came as a rat?!???! EPIC!!! :D:D:D

[kelseyyyANDerinnnx3]

There was one a time they played this with I came as a Rat, King Rat, and Ice on the Sheets all in one. 15mins.

[amadlook]

MODEST MOUSE!!

[JoeDynamite]

two drum kits lol hxc!

[jewdudewtf]

Your fucking dumb.

[killit88]

Modest Mouse is a good band, but I dislike there live sets, no variation. TV On The Radio has capitalized on my need of variation

[zmh1988]

their a great live band!! they perform with hella passion and energy

[killit88]

thats not passion and energy...... its lsd

[BadPhysh]

man that was a good show. I got in a bit of a scuffle with some stupid hippy during this song, and missed a bit of it. Thanks for posting.

[keppel7822]

id kill to see them live here in the UK.

[goozer66]

shit, i really really wanna see them live, when do they go on tour again?

[9439739e]

its amazing how a little three piece can turn into this.

[cheaptequila17]

i disagree. brock could have turned a 1/2 piece into this. but better.

[ApopheniaIV]

wheres his eye patch?

[TMVmucho123]

bitches talking

[Dilutedair]

I was at this show Looks Like I was either right in front of you or just behind you. I love how Modest Mouse sounds so much alike on the CD as they do live one of the last few bands who can do that.

[Mushman34]

Hate when people try to talk over bands playing, plain rude likes. I saw someone even try to do it during a mogwai concert Do=

[xraistlininblackx]

The I Came As a Rat ending was awesome...Do they always do this now? A la Dramamine w/ Life Like Weeds end..

[BVisionProductions]

MM is so unspeakably awesome

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

Theyre so awesome and badass

[intheflesh316]

amazing modestmouse

[thtsritesun1212]

thanks for posting this! I was there but I didn't have all that great of seats

[Foundlost63]

I love how he slides alittle I came as a rat into this song, Isacc is an amazing guy

[somuchdirt74]

yes that was fucking nice wished i was there

[KILLERRHCP]

I wish I had had better seats for this show, it basically rocked. Great show.

[Sean022191]

They played Spitting Venom as a closer on the 18th of june and they added in I Came as a Rat aslo. it was very very nice!

[gilv13]

thanks for posting this. I was in attendance. Awesome show
