Explosions In The Sky - The Moon Is Down - live

[ibnuamalia]

one person was a tambourine.

[yesrelationthesequel]

They are beyond fantastic.

[Andrevaosefoderem]

The tambourine died for a good cause

[ascii7085]

"… and then I'll put my guitar on the floor and tape the e-bow to it, so I can beat a tambourine senseless with one hand while I play the slide melody with the other.

… then I'll collapse, from exhaustion, mostly due to the tambourine thing.

I'm also gonna play snare on 'Catastrophe And The Cure'."

[LanceJeter34]

what concerts have been missing lately...a lack of emotion and Munaf really shows his love for the music

[mustbejames1]

one person has no soul.

[hellraise22]

Munaf makes all other guitarists look like pussies.

[AntP1980]

holy f*ck I've always loved this song but the live performance just blew me away. Never seen anything like it.

[krystofsplichal]

@dedalot lol man, totally :D

This is so awesome, hope they come to Prague one day...

[xXStaySeventeenXx]

holy fuck. beautiful. i need to see these guys live, they're coming to a place close to me. I gotta make it happen.

And what was that he used on his guitar at the very beginning that he was hitting his strings with?

[overflowNL]

@xXStaySeventeenXx It's a pen.

[Buditokid]

MUNAF RAYANI.....ERES MI PUTO DIOS:....

[braccobaldo82]

Fuckin' poets. The only ones who can really make me cry. I love you.

[chuchobuldog]

That tambourine can never have children now, but it was well worth it. Munaf murked that floor...

[MushroomCompost]

I need to see them live...

[Wastedcum]

PURE EMOTION!!!

[skyvorpal]

i'm reporting you to the tambourine protection society of the world.

[ytrehalfnwerd]

I sometimes stop to think... how could a song be so perfect? honestly takes emotions that everyone has everyday and perfectly portrays them all in a 10 minute song.

[DarkLud23]

excelente mi favorita

[dedalot]

the tambourine is down

[lucky13studios]

What did he tape onto his guitar?

[dawndavenport]

this band fucking rules.

[tikigod1974]

Crazy as it sounds, I don't feel sorry for that tambourine being smashed into the floor. Love this song!!!!

[lauraavrilmai]

explosions in the sky's music has made me the happiest and the most sad i have ever been. i'll never forget the first time i heard this song, i was laying with the love of my life. i hope i can be fortunate enough to hear them live in my lifetime.

[drogbapauleta]

how does Munaf play this? please? someone?

[HeartOfAllThings]

@drogbapauleta Let me know if you ever find out.

[coldplayerbuckland]

@drogbapauleta

towards the end he lays the guitar flat on the ground and puts duct tape on this little box called an ebow to keep it in place on top of one of the guitar strings. It provides infinite sustain on the guitar (the constant buzzing you hear). Then munaf turns up the volume on the guitar slowly and then grabs a slide and works it up the neck of the guitar while smashing the shit of of the tambourine. The tab to it is easy to figure out as well.

[mhmmitskiera]

that one motherfucker who disliked this...we WILL hunt you down!!

...just kiddin, but seriously! =)

[camelobebado]

Hope I get to experience their music onde day, here or anywhere.

Thanks for the upload. Amazing video!

Greetings from Rio, Brazil.

[camelobebado]

Can't put in words what I felt years ago when I first heard this song.

You people who have been to their concert have no idea how much I envy you (in a good way).

Bands like Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Sigur Rós, Godspeed You Black Emperor and a few others I could mention make me transcend this lie that is the so called life people believe and practice nowadays.

I'm thankful for knowing that there are people who at least express their feelings ("good" or "bad") like these guys do.

[vidAlexey]

incredible, true artists

[kurtbarrett14]

I love  ބ This Song it's awesome

[ResSTL11]

This song changed my life.

[Makeo984]

munaf...that's it.... wonderful....

[whazo1]

pure sex

[DylanMcKay21]

Munaf is a breath of fresh air and he's blessed for sure... Respect from a Greek citizen. Keep up the good work EITS

[39ax]

this is fucking insane.

[johnmm01]

no mamen, son unas vergas estos cabrones, yeah yeah, de los mejores exponentes del post rock

[havikairsoft]

I think that's about it?

[Jorenboarder]

Theyre playin at ATP 2010 and I am stunned by the fact that I will be able to see them perform. This will be a life changing experience

[Pr0x1mo]

I think i would've died or passed out watching that live.

[spartante83]

I was at this show. The crowd was so chill, everyone had their own space and just vegged out for an hour and a half.

No encore, but I don't think they needed one.

[dtan117]

@spartante83 ha, isn't that the freakin best or what?

[afab232]

greatest live performance ever!!!!!!

[keeppaigreen367]

es war einmal ein tamburin....

eigentlich hat es niemanden etwas getan, doch dann kam munaf und hat es vergewaltigt...

wunderbar zu sehen wie viel leidenschaft die in ihre musik packen. großartige band

[windbreaker14]

[xperixrockx]

[georgearakawa]

Amazing, nothing short.

[hudsonf1993]

It looks like he took off the whammy bar and he's just hitting the strings and letting it bounce.

[spickymcwetback]

this is the greatest song i've ever heard!

[umraan]

i concur.

[havikairsoft]

its called a guitar slide

[TomAKAVeto]

he beats the crap outta that tambourine

[pimpsauce57]

This is the most beautiful, expressive song I've ever heard.

[Kingsora15]

i wanna see them live soooooooooooo bad :(

[tearzfallsk8ta]

So do I. I've been to the Starlight Ballroom and I just wish I was there when they were playing. They seem like they'd be so fucking amazing to see live.

[Kudell46and2]
