[metalupyourass9]

[100alexdel]

I can't be live I'm gonna have to wait until 2013 to get their album!! -_-

[MichaelGray66]

Do the people in the crowd have sticks up their arses? Jesus christ they're dull

[kerusirotan1]

Ooohhh nice

[boomyesser]

That guy who plays percussion, keyboard, and maracas is kick-ass.

[bungoose]

Songs about slapping satan's cock on his tongue for fame...

[wormsinfestedfetus]

all this time I was thinking it was a woman LOL

[ilik3turtl3z]

this performance is better than SNL I personally think

[TheScottjp]

@ilik3turtl3z  agreed 100%

[miVoYC5]

These young incredibly talented. I love them!!.. They are right up there with my generation of rockers from the 70's!!.. This old lady loves the also!! I hope they always stay true to themselves!!!

[solorocker4]

foster the people sound kick ass live. they sound really good live.

[MsTrujillov]

Im trying to go to Foster the people's concert here in Colombia! I love them so f*cking much!!! FOSTER THE PEOPLE

[kittykondos]

@MsTrujillov i got tickets to that concert lol :D

[bloolover998]

I know he says "Taking me down as a prison riot" .. Nut every time I hear this song it sounds like " A dick in me now is a prisoners right" 

[LoVezStYLe]

the crowd sucks, I had been there, I would have made party. <33



[gnooy13mdfk]

first hit sounded like Good Folks, this sounds like MGMT

[Yarin4ever]

They're my favourite band at the moment.

[liamcovington1]

@Yarin4ever their my favourite band for ever!

[MyHihi100]

The band itself is having more than the crowd o_o

[SHUBHAM6689]

perfect strike anthem! <3

[IvanxoteAB]

Solo en Doble 9 mas Rock...

[izzzy2502]

Is it just me or do they sound even better live??

[Aggedor1959]

@izzzy2502 Maybe not 'better' but to me just as good in a different way--tough to do but they manage it.

[CouragezModz]

I love the last part SO much > "You gotta focus on you're ability!"

[yeppnabilah94]

@CouragezModz yeah !! i luv dat part too !! it might be COOL if fans front there sang along tghther with him ;)

[cluckg]

they did such a great job at the grammys!

BEST BAND EVER!

[Sasabitch18]

Glad that he made it big after struggling for so long :D FTP FTW. LOL.

[heavysteve123]

the three hipsters at 2: 38 are loving it!

hipsters of course making up a large portion of FTP's fan base haha !

[whirlwindshadow]

Needs more cowbell.

[srm33srm]

they are the best i need to see them in a concert now!!! my favorite is helena beat though!

[TheWheelieWorkshop]

Foster the People is one of the few bands that sounds good Recorded and Live. GREAT JOB Helping us save the era of GOOD Music!!

[LittleNikaLika]

They're amazing

[wessslll]

Where is Kenny G?? ;) (Houdini live @ SNL)

[avindyap279]

IF YOU LOVE FOSTER THE PEOPLE, YOU WILL ALSO LOVE TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB!!!!

[icried4justinb]

@avindyap279 That is 100 % true. I love both bands very much! If they made a collabaration it would be better than heaven!

[Angela72866]

6 ppl are stupid



[parmosi]

@Angela72866 the 6 people are just saying DIS i LIKE

[MrMusiclover2345]

[TheDarkUsername]

Now I want to know what Hinch11 said :|

[shamel95]

@TheDarkUsername how noob. press ctrl + G and search the name

[TheDarkUsername]

@shamel95 not sure if trolling or just stupid.

[missyroxxiee]

4:29 simultaneous head bobbing. It always makes me laugh when this happens.

[Israelbeat1]

definitivamente ya soy fan!!!

[malenkytoys]

They're so good but I wish there was more bass on this like the original

[ihadsexwithacheetah]

mad props to the guy who runs around doing all the accents

[Supergirlwashere]

I love them and all their songs!! :D

[iheartmyshoes88]

i love the drums at the beginning, ohh and the keyboard ohhh and the singing fuck it i love it all.

[CoolGuy7875]

its day 2 and im still looking for Hinch11's comment, im running low on food supplies and water levels are down but its this song that keeps me going....

[rub504]

fuck vevo

[TVairtime]

@rub504 Honestly what is wrong with vevo

[Rand0mCal1er]

@TVairtime

IT MAKES MONEY OFF EVERY VIEW BUT DOES NT GIVE ANY TO THE ARTIST you silly goose now go away

[TVairtime]

@Rand0mCal1er No that would be Illegal, the artist and VEVO set up a deal where they get a split of profit, general 40/60 50/50. Please be educated on a subject and not just follow people saying "fuck vevo"

[KOBABY08]

I love their songs!nice

[milkisify]

i wouldn't be just standing there if i were them, i would dance like crazy!

[gustavofaria1]

i need make a voodoo,for me marry with Mark Foster

[mila111ify]

are geniuses, they are very cute

[sebacool10]

sometimes i think that foster the people aren't real!!

[rebelrevolution22]

the master of the shrug

[OxVanillaPeachesxO]

Why am I just fascinated with the way Mark Foster walks. Like . . . seriously.

Back on topic-

This song is amazing, live and studio version.

[kixxiya]

what a modest crowd

[chris101ward]

needs more cowbell

[lovitzai]

Porque ire.. al VIVE LATINO solo por ellos! Siiiiii <3 <3

[12w4kk]

original is better

[sassycupcake54]

Mark Foster is SOO hot!

[nickobefree]

they are so addictive! come to greece <3

[jacklee121207]

this has a very similar feel to alot of Peter Gabriel work. solsbury hill

[chirpchirp46]

I'm in love with all of them!! <3

[volleyballslammerr]

i love how the guy on the piano is like convulsing at 1:49 hah! this song is so fucking amazing

[ezmc123]

i will have ftp's love child

[fuckingkidsthesedays]

fucking awsome

[AmbiBambi1997]

first time i heard this song. its amazing.

[Blinkishadow]

OH YES !

[kravencho890]

i feel sad for foster the people. all they see from their "fans" is head bobbing. if i were there i would go gorillaz

[georgiasr1995]

you guys are amazing. nuff said..

[thanaprom]

nice version

[narnyiks]

i love how this video starts with the face of mark pontius with his drums. 

[gigi1955100]

Awesome love everything about them...and I am old enough to be their mothers...and oh how can I relate to "sometimes I want to disappear"...

[soulfinder09]

Ron Paul 2012!!!

[razetora]

Can someone explain why they did such a big set? (Not that I'm complaining) I thought Letterman was only an hour long.

[iThinkLogicly]

When they visit my country I watch them and they sound brilliant like I heard from the CD. I guess its always better to watch them in live than watch a recorded-live concert

[jonasgurlxoxo1234]

is it just me or is the drummer like not really playing. lol

[rubluiol]

@jonasgurlxoxo1234 he is u can see the plates moving :) u hear the tsss cuz of the pedal plate :)

[trebot9292266]

@jonasgurlxoxo1234 they dont normaly really drum on shows like this they play a recording

[smartalec1991]

I know they're multi-talented and everything but why does everyone has to go around changing instruments back and forth every 30s? It's kinda funny

[trebot9292266]

@smartalec1991 its part of the show.

[misslovelydancer345]

eww



[Hinch11]

they sound terrible live

[Musicfan5ft8]

@Hinch11 your vagina sounds terrible live

[chonghan12]

@Hinch11 Then why are you here? Go bang your mother pussy wall then.

[rhcphallofame]

@Hinch11 have u ever seen them live

[linkinmilox]

i like the live version more than the original :)

[costarea]

The only thing pissing me off is the ad of Rihanna's " You da one" under the video. VEVO post it under Bieber's songs~!

[sethcohen923]

Have to say... maracas/drum/keyboard/mixer/da­ncing guy (Isom) is the one to see in this performance. The guy knows how to multitask! Foster rocked out the cowbell too!

[bigfanofher]

@sethcohen923 agree.. I was watching this and thought "this guy walking around doing everything.. awesome!"

[TeffaWayLee]

When coming to Mexico?

[CristinaPSanchez]

@TeffaWayLee Vienen el 24 de marzo del 2012 en el vive latino :D

[thepregnantnuns]

Why do I always think of 'Where the Wild Things Are' when I listen to Foster the People o.O

[ShuklaInToonTown]

isom rock those drums

[amana71]

MORE COWBELL!

[Lanefair95]

Being excited was too mainstream duh.

[Cristian014445]

fuck the crowd! I don't give a shit that you couldn't move or dance just because its a TV show .. I mean its a one time opportunity to see Foster the People,, sooo go CRAZY

[SLAYER5192]

One of these days Mark Foster is going to hit his head on the mic and have a concussion. Now that would be horrible. "POOP"! Sorry. I've got to focus on  my abilities!!!

[andygolledge111]

I love all these comments saying ''we weren't allowed to go crazy'' and ''it's different to concerts''. Bullshit is it. I've been to watch bands where they play on tv in UK and everyone goes absolutely nuts still just like they would as if it were a concert. So tbh i'm guessing its just America which isn't surprising that the crowds are boring.

[100alexdel]

2:51

Bald! Baaald!

[MsLulu2808]

people are never happy if the crowd is loud they complain that the cant hear the song if the crowd is to quiet still yah complain

[mavishill]

looks like this dumb crowd was expecting a pop song.

[samwuzhere9]

this is the only performance where the singer looks and sounds confident of himself. if he acted like this more foster the people would be much more popular live

[voltsfabian]

Woo look at that audience mosh!!! They better call riot control -_-

[Dementor95]

why the letterman crowd is always dead?

[0hDangItsM3]

The guy on the maracas is killin it :D

[DennyBerndt]

Awesome

[eddienava]

daaanm look at how crazy the crowd is!! 

[MsTobiwankanobi]

This crowd sucks balls -__-

[fromthispoint]

Best band I have seen in years, Reminds me of the Beatels.

[heyimAWESOME12]

I NEED MORE COWBELL!!

[SkitttlezStarz]

wow Mark sweats a lot <3

[edsrkt]

COOL!!!!!!!!!! omg <3

[alylove19]

The Best = Foster the People <3

[MultiGreenist]

anyone else who is tabbing their legs just like mine?

[PeriLuvsRio]

I enjoyed the synchronized head bobbing.

[salomeamelie]

they are amazing! i love foster the people and the song.

[harrysadhuguna]

awesome



[stillbored777]

foster the people,and cage the elephant.BEST BANDS IN THE WORLD!If they were put together it`d be awesomness colliding with epicness,and it`d make a milkshake!

[Jpcruz86]

Does anyone know how old is Mark Foster?

[jesiegirl8888]

@Jpcruz86 27

[vfbrenck]

I've been searching for a crappy live performance of Foster The People for an hour...

Still haven't found... I give up... These guys are AWESOME ! I can't listen to this song without moving !

[alexandria3715]

this is a really awesome song!!! i like mark f's moves so hot!

[sasuketheavenger2468]

best band ever



[lgaitan21]

Mark Foster is better than sliced bread! This is one of my favorite songs ever.

[alexjosecarmen080608]

they're awesome live

[Paluu155]

Me encanta ver como disfrutan tocando! ♥

Saludos desde Argentina :)

[ckino9095]

people who hate this is not a cool hipster

[BoogieBMWE34]

song with terrifying "no rhythm"

I don't know how song like this can be born

[ggfanjase]

Excellent performance.

[MissJekyllll]

Very nice version.

[husnafoster95]

FOSTER THE PEOPLE

[cyclonegirl77]

Mark Foster yOu're ROCK !!!!!! ;) ♥

[MUSEic4ever]

This is my best one.....and when they play this song live it always seems like they go HAM Houdini.

[Hawkeyes907]

This is Live on Letterman.. not a rave. The crowd isn't allowed to go crazy it's more like a live studio performance

[MrKamutu]

FOSTER THE PEOPLE! :)

[andeezero]

his voice is soo unique!!!!

[caroline1697]

these comments about the crowd being lame are pissing me off. we weren't allowed to go crazy because it was a small theater for a tv show. sorry i didn't want to get kicked out! there was only about 100 people in the crowd and the seats were spaced out so it would've been awkward anyway. i was dancing at least. it's different than an actual concert. at the other ftp concert i went to i got so crazy that my whole body hurt for a week. WE HAD TO BE LAME THERE. IT'S A TV SHOW.

[heyitsmoira]

wow i counted 6 keyboards on stage ! lol they like their pianos =)

[yhea1000]

yhe tokan al 100 estos bros

[nickjjismyhusband]

wtf why is the crwod so lame?

If I was there I would be jamming my ass off, jumping up and down, singing at the top of my lungs.

this crowd is dissapointing

[prittishai16]

I agree, the crowd Sooooo do not deserve to be there!

[TLG160]

this crowd doesn't deserve to see foster.

[birdieDDD]

rocking the cowbell. nice

[mh3ruler]

they are great live most artist are horrible

[mewsao]

0:06 like his move XD

[anabel13andrew]

If there was no audience you wouldn't notice till the last bit , and if the whole audience was me we would be having a dancing ' FEST ' ! :D

[Stellaftpmusical]

I fucking love Mark Foster and this song! ;)

[L0veepanicc]

omg mark foster marry me already

[cheeyan90]

that band member who tour with FTP in stripes looks so busy in this video..

[burrlymike]

@cheeyan90 lol ya he is , he probably runs and gets coffee and all that stuff also.....

[weibowil]

wonderful! like hillybilly meets Big Country and early Depeche Mode... :)

[bensngerrys]

awesome performance

[Lean6]

I kept waiting for Kenny G to roll in with a solo. Lol. The SNL performance was an instant classic.

[sbwka]

my grandpa is more exited then the crowd... and he's dead...
