Vampire Weekend - Walcott / One - A Take Away Show

[danicb3]

I respect that the guy with headphones doesn t like Vampire Weekend. But putting headphones in their freaking face is so disreaspectful, makes me mad.

[idunnolala]

it should be off of cape cod, not out of. god that annoys me so much. also this is so god damn out of tune.

[TheAmyLeeeee]

I wish I had been in this café ! :)

[H3chTie]

Their sound (mainly the melodica) is just horrible. Reminds me of a band of sad clowns...

[mrjustinkkk]

5:04 Blakes got a new face. Youre welcome

[cicicitron]

they could have tuned their guitars !

[ZachsRye]

7:08 lol the one guy with headphones on

[storminnorman99]

@ZachsRye do you mean the sound guy for the recording?

[ZachsRye]

@storminnorman99 Oh...lol yeah, that one

[RocioCso]

I so wanna live in France

[NeigborhoodMoose13]

this is fucking amazing

[chillestbroever]

Cease, melodica!



[spiderpunk100]

CT looks like he's having the time of his life!

[spiderpunk100]

This version of Walcott sounds very French! And i love it!

[TheHaigau]

i wanna puch that smoker in the face , he dont know how lucky he is :0

[GoldenMusicBox]

a depressing day in paris :/

[scareglare]

"one" is the happiest song ever! BLAKE'S got a new face. (blakeeee's got a new faceeee) :D

[prOsympathy]

This video is so inspiring! Well done guys. Can't wait for the third album:)

[TheCaptainBro]

There is something so pure about videos like this. You just can feel the love of both the band and the people behind the camera.

[Reehta]

I always come back to this video when I need cheering up :)

[2lostbikes]

Headphones during a live performance? Snobbery in tact.

[allssiwc]

@2lostbikes he's the sound guy (recording the performance...)

[Nettie1210]

Ezra is a fantastic singer!

[thetoiletofkings]

that poor pianist had to carry his own keyboard. it should at least have a strap or something. for portability. . .

[eddymikey]

love how you cant stop the french from not giving a fuck

[Tombzy]

Smoking in a pub?? wish you could to that in Canada!

[carlotawful]

oh my goodness these people just passing vampire weekend! they r the luckiest people ever!

[Cowsilencer08]

@TeamKilIer nooooooooooooooooooo

[tomkk311]

i wonna know how to play the chair

[Traceurotops]

@peaceloveandstrokes You're annoying

[oogidyboogidy1]

how could people just... get up and walk out of the restaurant like that?! That guy was wearing headphones in the table behind them so he didn't have to hear!!!! How can you not enjoy this music?!

[shutupsuckling]

@oogidyboogidy1 He's the sound engineer.

[blackmath8]

@oogidyboogidy1

That was the sound engineer...

[WhyDoIEvenTry]

@peaceloveandstrokes Sound engineer..

[FrannieBannanie18]

ahhh Baio's so cute!

[TheWobbuffet3]

i like this version of walcott its more slow and i think the song works better that way



[luhario]

Sick drumming skills...

[koolbeanzcarol]

@peaceloveandstrokes again,thats the sound engineer, dude

[koolbeanzcarol]

Erza looks like he's floating when he walks.

[cheesyDELISH48]

that was the most attractive "thanks" ever.

[RDBeatnik]

I like the sweater the dude playing the melodica is wearing. That's a badass sweater, looks comfortable too.

[evilvon]

Drummer is playin lead guitar ftw!

[tomkk311]

does anyone know how to play the chair if you do can you teach me

[luhario]

Rostam's smile makes everything epic.

[KippaPhantom]

Rockin' that chair, it should be used more often

[TyingCaptainKnots]

To the people who started singing, I fucking salute you.

[wingsoffreedomtheif]

@TyingCaptainKnots is that like.....with you dick? -_-

[TyingCaptainKnots]

@wingsoffreedomtheif You make no sense.

[Logonalump]

@wingsoffreedomtheif that's actually hilarious

[thoraplantain]

I love how Chris is playing in Blake's Got A New Face :)

What would I do without Vampire Weekend?

[silverjetplane]

this makes me want to join a band and walk around playing music

[TopDog69]

What I particularly like about this one is that the people in that cafe/bar are actually in to it, there's a lot of these where it seems like people just don't care when they really should, like the Bon Iver one where people are just walking away.

[MustafaNL95]

omg really why does that not happen to me?

vampire weekend walking around singing walcott

[wildernessdowntown]

I don't know what Baio was playing during Walcott, but I think I want one.

[IvyPianoMan]

@wildernessdowntown That the melodica? =)

[MrDuctah]

3 people hates arsenal because they are manchester united fans.

[smileygeek18]

@MrDuctah haha good one! :D

[supersonicpaperclip]

they look so bored!

[extraviMaddie1234]

gosh he has such a beautiful voice.

and face. :-)

[buzzer2222]

4:54 such a good reaction!

[Fraseandfable]

If you like Vampire Weekend, check out Jacques by Party Snobs, hope you like it :).

[mikelitoris10854]

@biggerhater05 well we will agree to disagree

[fflammingo]

ezra at 4:53. awww!

[victorianonymous]

Liking the Likes to Dislikes ratio...

[manutdtreble7]

This is great! so rough and real and it sounds so good. Whomever wants to disect this video and say how his notes are off or any rubbish along that, are indeedly missing out on joy in their life..Brilliant!

[crinkle4]

whenever i hear One i remember when they sang it in concert - the whole crowd: BLAAAKE'S GOTTA NEW FACE :)

[tbrown8890]

Awesome performance... though someone is out of tune. It makes me cringe a little.

[mikelitoris10854]

@TheLisaEaton ummmm, i think you are a douche?

[biggerhater05]

@mikelitoris10854 Uhm, i think the lisa's extremely right.

[TheLisaEaton]

ummm, i think they need to tune up?

[shakarokka]

where was this recorded?

[thebazooka88]

Ezra and Rostam's harmonizing is so great

[CakeS2k]

Fuck vamp!

[Mrxowl]

@CakeS2k Seriously, why bother even commenting.

[CakeS2k]

@Mrxowl  your right not worth my time.. on such a wanna be band

[Mrxowl]

@CakeS2k Hahahaha a wanna be band? if you wanna talk about "wanna be's" lets go look at your youtube account picture. hahaha your hilarious.

[wizpople]

anywhere i can download all the take away shows thankyouplease :) x

[doufyduke]

It was in 2008 and at this time they weren't as famous as now in france... but people in the bar seems appreciate an unknown band, that's what matter!

je sais pas si quelqu'un pourra comprendre mon anglais XD

[kariberryoh]

@doufyduke if someone as attractive as that band came in and were that good, i'd jump on them.

[spidermansupersexy1]

ok, if i saw ezra walkin around in random places, i would have jumped on him!... I LOVE YOU EZRA!!♥♥♥

[spidermansupersexy1]

seems tht nobody cares that Vampire weekend is just walkin around places playin their instruments! if i were in france during tht time, i would have just attacked them! I LOVE YOU EZRA!

[spidermansupersexy1]

i never knew tht Christopher T. payed guitar

[Daosdh1]

@spidermansupersexy1 I didn't either, since I never saw him give it any money atall! :D

[wissyflish]

this is too good

[emochick480602]

ughh I LOVE VAMPIRE WEEKEND! THERE SOUND IS JUST SOO AMAZING!!!

they inspire me soo much!!!!

[Shp00N]

they sound EXACTLY the same in their songs, i love them

[drea464]

every time Ezra talks I pee a little

[ramonatoci]

rude people...i wish i could have seen them!

[everlastgobstopper]

nice .. how do you record the sound? where do u put the microphone?

[diannika]

Aaaand Ladies and Gentlemen! That's why i love Vampire Weekend!

[PrivateBuckwheat]

This sounds so good except for the tremolo guitar part which is out of tune with the rest of it.

[LetsGoFeesh]

I love how the people are like "wtf?" but then they're like "Blake's got a new face!!!"

[itsbeenalovelyday]

somebody REALLY NEEDS TO TUNE THAT MELODICA.....

ouch....

[calebyyw61]

@itsbeenalovelyday amen

[happyunface]

whats the name of the piano kazoo instrument??

[NeonArmada]

this drummer is sooo awesome on that chair!

[KlongJames]

Another successful. keep going on Vampire Weekend!!

[smartfkr]

i wish it was the camera man... for all these fantastic bands of course.

[HoratioMendez]

Ugh, the people in that cafe were well snobby. They don't know what they just witnessed. Ignorant fools.

[penestroika]

@HoratioMendez

I'll bring a french band in a New York café to see how come people are less ignorant there...if they're not thrown out before even getting started.

[slj544]

Why haven't more people watched this? It's fantastic.

[biancayusuke]

両方ともこのヴァージョン録音してほしい！！

[cookies2992]

are they mic'd?

[maskman333]

@cookies2992 yup you  can see the one on the singer at 2:22 clipped to his sweater.

[verdesevemejor]

Look at the douchebag with the guitar

[forzainter72]

Look at the douchebag at the end with his headphones in...

[LaBlogotheque]

@forzainter72 he's the sound engineer, dude

[forzainter72]

@LaBlogotheque

hahaha sorry about that mate. Didn't see this comment until today, no offenses intended, just thought someone wasn't appreciating the beautiful music.

[SunnyShine43]

@LaBlogotheque He didnt know any better! lol... seriously though, amazing video

[451degreesF]

@forzainter72 you made me laugh, srsly:D

[bootiesz]

@forzainter72 honest mistake bro

[alicemargaux]

the people in that cafe are the luckiest people ever... if i was there i would have got up on a table and started dancing and singing along, and then i wouldn't have let go of them, i would've followed them out in the street ! ; - )

[VitalemRecords]

god, can't they hear how ghastly out of tune they are???

i've heard this band be a lot better than this... and la blog have captured much better performances

[TurboShorts]

@VitalemRecords lol you're insulting vampire weekend on their musical abilities. just thought that was funny.

[VitalemRecords]

@TurboShorts I didn't insult them. I said they were out of key - and they are. But besides the point, they aren't amazing musicians, so if I WERE insulting their musical abilities I may be pretentious and a jerk, but not incorrect. But I did not insult their musical abilities, I simply assessed what is going on in the video. If I said something judgmental (like the chord progression is sub-par or the way he strums is elementary - I am NOT saying those things though) THEN I would be insulting

[tanzaniaa]

@VitalemRecords - I agree. From about 1:24 - 1:50 as well as around the 3-minute mark they are way off. Not to say they aren't an amazing band or anything; this performance is just a bit shabby.

[VitalemRecords]

@tanzaniaa yes, I agree - they are a great band.

[itsbeenalovelyday]

@VitalemRecords it's so hard to tune a melodica...

but no, they should have heard that. i don't know why they didn't.

[Thorin61]

J'adore le concept, et le groupe.

Je trouve que ça sonne bien par rapport à l'album.

[Frayzzou]

Haha, pas mal la vidéo en france xD

[thejoekster]

what kind of keyboard does Rostam use? im curious because i really like the sound, and I want a keyboard.

[WcxBoyo]

VINCENT!!

J'adore your work!!

How do you capture the sound so well? The audio is always so well focused on the artists, with the city and and surroundings enhancing every song! What microphones do you use if i may ask?

[Iconfusedcarnac]

I love the idea of the simplicity captured in every single "La Blogotheque" video. MUSIC. Not strippers and shnanzy sunglasses.

[TurboShorts]

@Iconfusedcarnac strippers would be pretty sweet though

[danielgnfr]

@Iconfusedcarnac I totally agree with you

[pupurmne]

@Iconfusedcarnac Music and Paris or another place

[mchammer1330]

@Iconfusedcarnac yes and just playing acousticly for random people in random places its the idea that almost makes it more enjoyable than the music

[AugusteJacquelyn]

@Iconfusedcarnac although, hopefully any occurrences of 'shnanzy' sunglasses will be excused on account of people like to protect their eyes from bright light and would rather look nice while doing it. =]

and also, yay Vampire Weekend *squeal*

[eabod]

@Iconfusedcarnac Hey; I like strippers

[y0l4nd3]

ah mais c'est en france =)

Ils sont trop fort

[lucypapoosky]

I love how pissed off the people in the cafe look!

[salbigmac]

BLAAAAAKES GOT A NEW FACE!

[crreosote]

damn the keyboardist got shafted having to carry his shit around .. yet somehow he's still playing

[nathachlo2]

J'adore l'idée des conerts à emporter, c'est génial. En plus avec Vampire Weekend, que demander de plus ? Juste merci.

[badmonkeybusiness]

Superbe, je viens juste de connaître Vampire Weekend et j'adore !

[RatmanFilms]

I love this band so much, but the least they could do is tune up.

[jemmahatty]
