Only Moment We Were Alone (Live from Bonnaroo 2011)

[Oysy]

Post-rock must be one of the hardest genres to make music. Technical music, very little repetition and you can't hide yourself behind noise distortion. Everything has to sound amazing and pure.

[ChickenParmHero]

I saw this song live, totally awesome.

[ryanneglect]

just heard these guys for the first time, epic!

[KLove3232]

God, the people that go to Bonnaroo fucking suckkkkk. Too bad because I love the bands that play there.

[spinkicker27]

FULL OF SOUL

BEST POST ROCK BAND EVER

[Marseille5]

@spinkicker27 Best post-rock band ? Four letters : GY!BE.

[BeestBrudd4]

@Marseille5 Extremely arguable.

[RossWildish]

@Marseille5 I do love them, but I don't think you can compare them to this sort of post-rock. GYBE are more like a film or a story in sound form, whereas Explosions In The Sky are a more traditional band approach with actual 'songs'. They're both awesome, but I think they both do different things and approach the genre differently.

[Marseille5]

@RossWildish Yes, you're actually perfectly right. Musical classifications, like "post-rock" or "jazz" are absolutely pointless : Pharoah Sanders has nothing to do with Dave Brubeck, same with Ulver and Mayhem, and with Van der Graaf Generator and Genesis. Even if post-rock doesn't mean anything, really, I just think it looks more accomplished than EITS, even if I'm an actual fan of EITS.

[topdog499]

Freaking BIG BANG In the Universe should be their name!

[TheWickedwrister99]

if god could make music

[h1d1j1]

nothing like dance with a guitar like that!!!!

[elementle]

their frontman (i dont know if he's actually the frontman, but the guy that introduced them) is the most awkward guitarist i've ever seen. epic song none the less

[Humanoids]

@elementle yeah, watching that guy is just weird :D

[Humanoids]

@elementle .. christ it just gets worse as it goes further.

[davidinucci]

GREAT BAND!

[Phannie27]

:'D

[braccobaldo82]

I LOVE YOU

[AtaIarion]

8:18, rather

[AtaIarion]

at 8:19 it looks like one of them pukes on the crowd.

Such a fullfilling climax!

[Youngopie]

I don't know, what do you want to do? Let's hang out and play guitar. Sounds cool, let's do that. Great, I'll bring a drummer, you grab a guy with the bass. Awesome.

[bazerrem]

Why didn't go and see these guys live less than a week ago?

[Naarling]

When I saw them live I was so caught up in their music, losing myself but feeling complete, eyes closed, I didn't even know what they looked like untill now.

[Unarchetype]

This crowd sucks. Put your cameras down, shut up and get lost in the music, for the love of all that is good.

[dirtycelinefrenchman]

chills and tears, simply incredible -- transcendent even

[pandalavalamp]

This song is fucking amazing, Epic Jizz at 8:15

[SuburbValues]

EITS is the finest example that good music is still out there to this day. God, they're fucking fantastic.

[Rockerosito]

fender toronado <3!

[21chito25]

0:08 BOOBS!

[400mca]

before i die i will see this band live

[runtor1988]

I think basic reading skills should be mandatory before using YouTube. Honestly, if that were implemented, three people would never have made that egregious error of mistaking the "dislike" button for the "like" button.

[ska95124]

best live act EVER. ajsklgag

[minhdiszles]

I.MUST.SEE.THEM.LIVE!

[chrius57]

bass player looks like jonny depp

[yuridaman]

Louder!!



[zekewee11]

I feel bad for the people who can't understand this kind of music.

[topaboss]

I love this band - it's sleeping music for me. I can't imagine staying awake at their concert though. lol

[smpdvs18]

God commands you all to see this band live. Or else..

[AhhItsTatiana]

Explosions in the Sky, they put me in a mood that no words can ever describe.

[computerhandyman]

cookin on gas

[OOAC133A]

Best. Band. EVER.

[guitarguyy1122]

Absolutely awesome. Love how the crowd seemed skeptical but were totally into it by the end!

[HappySmilesStudio]

ah... they never disappoint ! :)

truly beautiful

[JPaul287]

saw them in October and it made my life

[Fanchus]

lol Everyone that didn't know them are like "Hey, when do they start singing?"

[TheAnd9000]

wish could see them live, would be a great experience, away from a problems

in the Only Moment We Were Alone

[u2santos]

I prefer when they perform it a TAD slower, like in the video I've posted as a video response (recorded by myself in Madrid, earlier this month).

Anyway, this song is utterly beautiful no matter the tempo, the venue or whatever. Thank you EITS for giving us such beauty ♥

[RGDaniels79]

I get more chills of inspiration listening to this band than any other

[canilive0102]

I love that there from texas

[sefadenizoglu]

Thumbs up for the hurt hearts... I mean.. the hurt guitar.. ehm..

[mattsewell21]

4:47 the kid playing the air drums = definitely stoned

[EpiphoneLPJrGuitar]

why only 12,000 views?

[OreoboyDK]

I teared up a little bit just watching this. I'm going to see them in 2 weeks. I'm fucking doomed. Love this band to death

[zapfayr]

looking at the sea of ppl and beyond , you can just see blinding light..

BEST Stage to play this Awesome Song!

[SighHD]

⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠

[AndrewTuckr]

8:16 ... I came.

[tyresmoke]

I love you guys! i truly do. but why is your VEVO master volume so low? makes me a little sad :( but mostly happy that you're posting these

[gtg007w]

Never have I attended a gig where I didn't listen to the music being played, but felt the music being played.

[MushroomCompost]

Seeing them live was one of the best experience of my life.

[facusrock]

i love this band!!

[fizzgigify]

this had always been one of those like-but-not-really-love explosions songs for me, until I saw them open with it a couple days ago... now it's one of my favorites.

[LorriLuring]

Wow!

[niarsenia]

man, this is like literally been kissed by heaven!



[xixjanxix]

disliking this bad is blasphemy.

[svenningDK]

Great performance, but who on earth would schedule these guys to play in broad daylight? To me, this music is best complimented by nighttime.

[ty22guy]

@svenningDK Agreed. They should be playing at dusk when the sun is setting and the sky is looking all pretty :)

[matadorzx1]

@svenningDK watch this /watch?v=Un3j1_iwYdg

It is Brazil, my land . My brother made this video.

[maylortaylor987]

FUN FACT: The star floating above the crowd near the front is me. At least until they told me it was in the way of the camera.

[maylortaylor987]

My favorite concert i've ever been to.

[DeGrinvideos]

go to see them live. If you got a heart, this is the band.

[kaoss92]

@DeGrinvideos cant wait till they get to brisbane

[cod4TheDriver01]

@DeGrinvideos I missed them in Italy, DAMN ME!!!! i love them

[rawwrmushroom]

THAT PASSION

[BaezMedia]

Words cannot even begin to describe this band. I wonder if this is what heaven is like?

[seanyboy212]

@BaezMedia actually, yes, because Jesus is on bass.

[BaezMedia]

@seanyboy212

Oh I understand life now!!!

[ZuzahGaming]

@BaezMedia They say that Earth is Hell. I don't believe that as long as we have EITS. Their music doesn't need lyrics to envoke such strong feelings in a person. It's amazing.

[XbrettXtaylorX1]

0 dislikes. :)

[UnboredSpectator]

Jesus fucking christ. I think I came.

[stretch13bb1]

Couldn't have been a better way to open...everyone needs to see these guys live. That show was amazing

[stevo32E]

@stretch13bb1 Just got my tickets to see them for the first time a couple days ago! So unbelievably stoked.

[saripkin]

This set was a super fantastic finale to the most amazing music weekend of my life!

Thank you Explosions! Hope to see you in ATL again soon

[BlunterBonsai]

@saripkin I agree, I loved the crowd here. Thank you Bonnaroo, and thank you Explosions. You guys have provided me with the best music of all time. This was my all time favorite show.

[cm410856]

my ears are getting the best hug ever

[TheConstellation72]

Brilliant performance from EITS......

[maylortaylor987]

I'm the Star near the front! This was my favorite show of the whole weekend. Thank you Bonnaroo for having them!
