[ngiannone96]

[kdick14]

how are these people just standing still?

[alberto00258]

@kdick14 with there legs



[alberto00258]

@kdick14 :p

[DeathWingProductions]

honestly these guys are like the beatles in a way, they sound no different in recorded and edited song, then they do live, and they write songs aboutt lifee

[TheColoroutofSpace]

Fuck the people who weren't clapping.

[dDo0t]

So refreshing. :)

[Peaceloveandgrease]

Marcus is sooo hot



[MyGufer1]

whats the instrument marcus is playing in winter winds?

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

@MyGufer1 It's a mandolin!

[VictoriaT158]

The best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnarKypanky]

just listen to the sax ,,,, lovely

[Astrapsody]

@AnarKypanky The...trumpet. 

[JEP177777]

Great performance Mumford & Sons! It was mentioned on VH1 today that they don't like it when new songs are posted, so I hope they like this one!

[javidquint]

NOTHING MORE CAN BE SAID

[javidquint]

THIS IS REAL MUSIC!

[austinpetemo]

trumpet soloist choked at the end lol

[davidfannet]

um, the reason no one is jumping around to the cave is because mumford and sons is not a concert / act where you should be talking, singing or jumping around at all. when they grace the stage everyone should shut the hell up and watch/listen/enjoy/and stand in awe of how great they are. that shit ruins concerts like this.

[frankierolover4eva]

I love the trumpet in this song...well I love it all lol

[Raymoondo9494]

worst audience EVER!!! they should be going crazy after hearing that beautiful music.

what i would do to see them live. :)

[MrPaulywag]

@Raymoondo9494 I'd sell my soul.

[acoustic18]

check out my ukulele cover! one of my fave bands! love mumford!

[xFREAKAZOID9x]

i thought this was the actual track..sounds just like it. Man i wish i could see them live....(adds it to my bucket list)

[fluxeable]

Goddammit they're amazing!

[Meurig06]

Oh how i love Winter Winds.. that mariachi trumpet.. a work of genius on this song.. Awesome.

[Risawalters77]

I am so excited to see them play in Dallas in November... seems way to far away!! It'd be awesome if more people knew about them. They are wonderful! I think they should tour with Elephant Revival

[jamhead062]

music .. bluegrass ... its all in the instruments. Is bluegrass a genre?

[henrymadman14]

The guys certainly give it everything.

Can't understand why they are not more famous.

They are compulsive viewing , almost like they have been told how to look unfashionably cool.

[henrymadman14]

The guys certainly give it everything.

Can't understand why they are not more famous.

[ianbarth]

Mumford and sons bringing folk back like its nobody's business. The most honest, raw and enjoyable music I have probably ever heard. Banjolin song is wicked, electric banjo's own face. Come play at the Algoqnuin Theatre.

More Mumford!!

[PrettyInPinkBoutique]

What a great band to see live... it makes you just want to cheers everyone around you and dance a little jig :)

[TheMattCottam]

Nothing, absolutely nothing compares to this band, every single one of their song's give me goosebumps... it's undescribably how catchy and mindblowing they actually are!

[cymbaline53]

Brilliant.

[joemccorriston]

they are fooking awesome

[marilenelang]

This is pure talent... Divine music... So beautiful it fills my eyes with tears!

[cmac1223]

LOLLAPALOOZA 2010!!!!!!!!

[38cya]

perfect

[henrymadman14]

Extraordinary guy, so much charisma, so much talent, and so modest.

[PdishmonkeyJJ]

they never played this in AB ;(

[supadella]

Sticks it right up the other middle of the road trash out now proper music with proper instruments REAL MUSICIANS love it

[09Elitesniper]

plz chek out my mumford and sons vid!:D it would be much appriciated:)

[sunnyskies19720]

a most enjoyable experience.

[lovestwh]

I Hear ya nphillips1982- totally infectious I would have been up dancing with tears streaming.. I cant get enough!

[robertbuick1]

Good song

[nphillips1982]

Can someone please tell me how in the hell people are not jumping off the walls to "The Cave?" Hardly anyone is even moving, let alone dancing!!! The emotion in the song, especially towards the end is unbelievable! LOVE THESE GUYS! May 25th in Minneapolis cannot come soon enough!

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

This is March 2009! Both The Cave and But My Heart Told My Head (aka Winter Winds) were new and unreleased songs. The 'leaping about' songs at this gig were Little Lion Man, Roll Away Your Stone and (the recently neglected) Feel The Tide. Yeah! Let's have Feel The Tide back in set please guys!

[encoreplz]

@nphillips1982 NO KIDDING! i would be getting nasty to the cave, nuff said

[s0undtribe]

@nphillips1982 dude they are English they dont get down like us American crowds do ;D they just wave flags and shit or sometimes have moshes but at shows like this they just watch the music and applaud at the end, dif cultuer

[s0undtribe]

@nphillips1982 how were they in minneapolis when u saw them

[haleyv8]

@nphillips1982 I know! its crazy that no one is moving We just saw them last saturday in toronto and the whole crown went nuts for this song it's amazing! It must be a brittish thing

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

@haleyv8 'It must be a brittish (sic) thing'! lol No. It's a 'this was nearly 2 years ago and the songs hadn't been released yet' thing. How many of the people complaining about the crowd in this video can honestly say that they had even heard of Mumford and Sons in March 2009? If you want to see a British Mumford crowd in action check out my recent video of Little Lion Man & Sister at the Hammersmith Apollo. But, hey, thanks for watching anyway!

[LoneRanger19]

@SeeGigFilmGigPost  So people only get excited about songs that are already famous and react as they think they're supposed to as opposed to reacting to a song they enjoy?

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

@LoneRanger19 In answer to the first part of your question I would say, that depends upon how you define 'get excited'. All the 'new songs' played at this gig (i.e. most of Sigh No More) were rapturously received - at the end of the song! Without doubt, audiences do not tend to (as nphilips1982 puts it) 'jump off the walls' to a song that they have never heard before - no matter how famous that song later becomes, or how epic it is now perceived to be.

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

@LoneRanger19 In answer to the second part of your question I would feel confident in saying that, not one person at this legendary gig was reacting "as they think they're supposed to". The audience reaction at this show was, largely, one of watching the band in awestruck silence, listening to the songs, rather than singing along to every word (radical idea, I know!) and then showing their appreciation at the end of the song! An entirely appropriate reaction I might suggest!

[newb0rn11]

I hate the fact Ellie Goulding's referred to as a "folk artist". Really pisses me off.

I know this isn't as folk as you can get but it's still brilliant stuff :)

[newb0rn11]

I totally agree, but I think he has a HUGE voice. Really projects well, but I hope they never play arena tours or anything like that, it just wouldn't be the same.

[mollypenneyXO]

This is fucking amazing <3

[fuubeli]

awesome vid, gonna see them in April, hopefully ^^ :D

[skipp5879]

is that frankie boyle playin the trombone...

[batteryoperatedpen]

LMAO ! I think it could be !

[92enjybenjy]

wow, folk music is great!

[selinemackey]

I agreee

definatly

[DnBartlett1324]

tuuuunnneeee!!!

[XxBeccaMaytexX]

ahhhhhh mumford & sons. amazing.

[NajaMartina]

These guys are totally amazing - voice, lyrics and music!!! How rare to get this combination exactly right.

[mydazzlewasfrazzled]

the first time i heard this song i thort it was reeli bad but after hearing it a couple of times its grown on me (:

[runwendyrun1]

fuck mainstream

[Bexby]

I'm really happy that folk is actually being played on mainstream radio. Kate Rusby was played nonstop on the radio last year, and she's still a folk singer. It's getting more people into folk, and keeping it alive.

[2write2sing2dance]

Why? B/c mainstream is SHIT. THIS is real music.

[Grapeyboy]

what a band. heard this song i had to listen to the rest of their stuff :O SOME OF ITS EVEN BETTER :O will deffinetly be looking forward to stuff from these guys.

[KatSat55]

Class band

[macje89]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:DD:DD:D:D

[mckdeedog]

I don't want them to become the next big thing, even though they deserve the recognition we all know what happens when everyone likes something like a band. "Mainstream"

[SamDavison92]

i agree, but it's good to see a folk band getting widespread recognition

[jhpb93]

Well we can let the Avett Brothers take care of that.

[garvito101]

kings of leon.

[92enjybenjy]

wow, then you dont know your band mate...completely different sounds

[TheDundeepieman]

well , what can i say ..they are just great ..the lyrics are just amazing !!

[jld19brownbomber]

cant get enough of these guys

[xanseox]

oh totally agree jld19brownbomber

[jld19brownbomber]

this band is the next big thing......FACT

[jowett1987]

I agree 100% they are so different... watch this space!

[ManUnited58]

Great sound but thats the problem, their different. The only thing most people want to hear now is some crap they hear in a club.

[cjdavis18]

@jld19brownbomber you're kinda too late. they already made it. like 6 months ago.

[RAFFEYBOBS]

thats some good craic, aha now come and do another gig in birmingham!

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

Sadly, no Birmingham date on the March 2010 tour - but they do hit Wolverhampton on 6th March 2010. Tickets on sale now.

[800ty]

and guess where i live!? Wolverhampton!!!!! WAHHHOOOOOO!

[treboster]

i love it! But My Heart Told My Head!!!!

[TheGregski]

just discovered this song on 6 music, has a folky gaelic feel to it.

[oliviapogo]

Really like these songs, - hearty sounds, hearty voices. Mmm... :) thank you lads. I just need to see you live now

[MERCER12OLI]

well said

[coops1964golf]

real music.............puts all that chart shite in perspective

[lizzzzardd]

music for the soul... :-) such a great feeling ha

[felixthehousecat2]

class tune good work lads

[Tote1883gas]

Best band in 2009 for me, and im a 37 year old fart ;)

Great work lads

[kelloggs2511]

Brilliance about time love them!!!!!!!

[lindseydidi]

hey... where have they been!!!!! music needs you!

[057doyler]

this band is fucking savage

[azukar8]

Yeah, I need to go buy this album.

In other news, these guys seem like they're as good to listen to live as they are on a polished album - not a common trait.

[tottymansing]

nice one guys cheers for the post

[Languageofthesoul]

Insane talent the blokes have, based on viewings of other songs they all play multiple instruments as need demands. Enthusiastic and heartfelt performances, whether live or on video clips! You can see the effort they make on their faces, vocals and instrumentals alike are outstanding. SUPERB GROUP!

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

Nicely put Languageofthesoul!

[JenForward]

I wanna know when will they come to Australia and to little ol' Tasmania - I hope it's soon

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

I think they will be in Australia in Jan/Feb 2010. Not sure how extensive the tour will be. Only the Laneway dates have been announced so far.

[dixneuf15]

God I really hope they come to more venues than just NYC in the States. Amazing work fellas!

[lanafitzs]

This is the other song my grandson Louis loves he's almost 6yrs and found this himself on the computer

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

Wow! Well done Louis! You have very good taste in music young man!

[trendmedown]

Just perfect. Thank you.

[kevsickboy]

this is so wonderful. imbusting to see em again :)

[YMSMF]

Saw them @ Oxyegen, amazing amazing band!! ;-) Roll on Belfast in September!

[nihilistichick]

the trumpet is fucking fantastic in this!

[nickwlong]

To see them live is the 101st thing to do before you die

[adonnas2]

they are frighteningly good

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

Especially when you consider that Marcus was really ill with a high temperature and they nearly cancelled this show (the following night's Banquet/New Slang shows were pulled). Amazing band. I can't wait for the album!

[JimboRocket]

someone said on here that they thought this was their best song and at first i thought they were wrong cos white blank page and little lion man are so good but im starting to think theyre right!

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

The Mumfords' standard of songwriting and performance is so consistently high that I tend to think that whichever song I happen to be listening to at the time is their best! But, if pressed, I'd probably go for Dust Bowl Dance.

[danni18h]

the lyrics are beautiful in all mumford's songs but especially in this one :) thanks for uploading the vid

[around15]

beautiful.

"As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts, oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms."

"Well be washed & buried one day my girl & the time we were given will be left for the world."

"The flesh of the lived and loved will be eaten by plague so let the memories be good for those who stay."

[nicquest]

Horny!!

[boylelaura]

thankyou for uploading,

so jealous that you were there.

xxx

[istillremember6]

wow! gorgeous!

will it be released in the US?
