Vampire Weekend - Walcott/One live in the streets of Paris

[candrew6]

I love how by the end, practically everyone in the bar is singing with them. That looks like so much fun!!!

[armsofdelmar]

perfect vocals



[cubyman23]

Fuck it, I'm starting an indie rock band

[sydneyvolk1]

I'm just gonna say that if Vampire Weekend sat down next to me and started performing I can guarantee that I would be shitting my pants.

[jakobgod]

if I were there and I walked into that bar/coffee shop I would say "HOLY SHIT ITS VAMPIRE WEEKEND"

[ambull518]

Walcott!



[SMteamProduction]

french people LIKE THIS ! like me :)

[DellaCruz92]

I lvoe this vdieo!

[lionmanbren]

How can 9 people dislike this, this is real music plan and simple

[ilooklikeaflower]

7:03 .. the man at the bar looks like Michael McIntyre.

[LOOKoutITSspiderpig]

lol some of the people in the cafe are like "who are these people? why are they interrupting my lunch?!" eg. the guy with the headphones "maybe if i put these on, put my hands over the top and close my eyes, they'll go away"

[eagle40311]

@LOOKoutITSspiderpig The guy with the headphones is with them.

[LOOKoutITSspiderpig]

this is brilliant. ezra's smile at 4:59, melt.

[flzgn]

i fucking love this band. this is real music.

[aldasianiparr]

i love how all of them kept on witching instruments! its amazing.

[armsofdelmar]

this is fucking fantastic

[cp0uch]

7:12 the guy in the middle of the screen is NOT enjoying himself.

[vintagegal91]

I don't know what I would do if I saw them walking around the streets of Paris playing Walcott.... 1) Vampire Weekend 2) Paris 3) Walcott... I would be the happiest person alive!

[AFIGirlPanicFan]

If I was there I'd just follow them around until Ezra and Chris gave me hugs :D

[xrawrbiexrotten]

Ezra is SO GORGEOUS ABD SO IS HIS SINGING AN I LOVE THEM! True story

[eljosimar]

the drummer playing a guitar wow that´s amazing.

[welovejonas3000]

UGH. WHY IS EZRA SO ATTRACTIVE!?!

[ClaudetteBradshaw]

La Blogothèque has said that the man with the headphones is actually the sound technician, haha

[rainingstars]

they're genius!! come to italyyyyy ;)

[g0atBallz420]

i like the guy with headphones on next to them ...like what the fuck could he be listening to

[helenplay111]

if something like this happened to me, that would be the best day of my life.

[leJETfbs]

What is that dickhead at 7:09 listening to his own music when vampire weekend is sitting infront of him. Tsk tsk french guy

[lostfirepaw]

drummer on guitar and bassist on recorder! lmao awesome

[fool232323]

reminds me of beirut

[blocker444]

If they did this here in austin, texas, everyone would be so much more appreciative haha. Although the girl singing along to one was pretty cool :)

[maxtesatora]

@blocker444 So true, my man. I love our town! SXSW is at hand!

[ashterrMc]

its so frustrating knowing that these pps hav no idea who they are and vampire weekend are like my favourite band! my life would be complete if they walked through the door where i was and performed...

jealousy

[iveGotzNoFriends]

They look so Parisian

[KnightsofCydonia9000]

I noticed that no one seems to be noticing that theyre there, they dont even turn their heads. XD

[TopDog69]

This is great.

[akrosmel666]

9 people need good kick in the groin, and 611 people deserve cookies

[akrosmel666]

9 people need good kicks in the groin

[mindhwhanna]

1:52 Justice-Stress , thumbs up if u get it :)

[BlackShades1977]

Wish they did this everywhere if I saw vampire weekend that would make my day there so awesome

[MrSuperTevez]

Ezra just oozes pure and utter class.

[Herculez7]

[DubbleBubble303]

Ah... how I love this...

[TheEIPfan]

I now wanna learn how to play the chair

[danielazmaster]

Whaaaahtt Amazing!!!

[c1arence]

OMG. YOU GUYS ROCK SO MUCH!!!

[DliciousCo]

xD, so beirut, love it

[advenger32]

according to urban dictionary walcot is A small area located in swindon. It has the lowest crime rate of the town because of all the druggies and crap houses. No one wants to rob it. Usually chavs standing outside shops asking for some one to buy them booze or else seen drinking on street corners. Litter everywhere and looks proper skanky

[RoadToDawnZ]

@advenger32 This song is the first one by VW. The name Vampire Weekend comes from a movie that the singer, Ezra, was a part of. The plot was about a boy named Walcott who had to get out of Cape Cod to warn the mayor about a vampire attack before the whole town was taken over. The movie was called Vampire Weekend.

[BeKeizer]

@RoadToDawnZ really?

[raspb3rrytwist]

Loved every minute of this. Ah i would have loved to be there.

[sideburnsbob]

Just to point out to all the folks who believe that the guy with the headphones is listening to an iPod, annoyed, etc, I believe he is actually recording the songs on a portable digital recorder - he'd have to keep his cans pretty tight to monitor the raw sound.

[geeyouknit345]

somebody at 7:12-7:15 dosent like vampire weekend the guy with the headphnes

[legomyfego]

@geeyouknit345 haha I know what an asshole!

[geeyouknit345]

@legomyfego cant blame him i would be pissed to if im listening to the new justin bieber album and vampire weekend interrupts it ;)

[Madeppymage]

@geeyouknit345 yeah, god help us if real music starts interrupting the latest soulless Disney clones.

[djiana4]

@geeyouknit345 the "guy with the headphones" is the audio guy. he's recording the songs so they turn out O.K. in the actual video :)

[XRate]

The moment i learn to love them... awesome blogotheque!! Thx!!

[votexe]

es posible que vengan a colombia en diciembre :D

[kizzachainsaw]

the man smoking the cigarette looks so pissed!! hahaha

[besthax13]

Does anyone else think this is a little smug of them? I mean, theyre great, amazing band, but wtf

[cjbirk]

@besthax13 i think its pretty cool that they did that. if those french people knew they were famous americans they wouldn't mind, trust me :D

[renr17]

MAGNIFICENT. Probably the best live performances I have ever seen.

[meggleymoo1]

VINTAGE EZRA!!!!

[Lildrummerboy50]

their first record is by far the best! but I love contra all the same! amazing video!

[flashcrashbang]

marry me ezra.....

[lipperman93]

this is awesome!

[mattyokenyi]

vampire weekend are just too cool for school!

[popomczowzow]

sounds a wee bit out of tune

[HaaappyHannah]

This is awesome. Making people smile through good music. LOVE it. Plus the lead singer is extremely attractive ;)

[lizayzay]

this is so beautifully done, Ezra Koenig's voice is lovely, and the instruments sound even better live

[HektorOviedo]

this is nice... it made my day

[tgurl64]

woah the chris's are multi-talented....nice!

[8rosanna]

vampire weekend's albums are so good for long car journeys

[gladiators2037]

@8rosanna they never last long enough though

[8rosanna]

@gladiators2037 yeah, even with both albums

[gladiators2037]

@8rosanna i know. i'll listen through both and it goes by too fast.

[8rosanna]

@gladiators2037 yeah there music is soo good for any mood aswell :D

[gladiators2037]

@8rosanna i know. i love them so much. there's no beating there first record. it has this magical essence to it that cannot be denied.

[8rosanna]

@gladiators2037 yes i do prefer ther first album to there second but there are some amazing songs on contra

[gladiators2037]

@8rosanna contra is amazing. every song on that is so good too. but the first album captured something that will never be done again

[8rosanna]

@gladiators2037 yeah, it was so different i thought, like what they sang about and the instuments they use. sometimes second albums can be a let down to the first but contra was so good

[eloyADAN]

i wish they would come to albuquerque :(

[bennyers]

Lmao. I think theres a guy at 6:26 trying to listen to his mp3, rather than them.

[eloyADAN]

@bennyers lmao he is xD

[justbelieve676]

Kudos to Christopher for playing a chair :)

[BuffyJaneAndStephy]

Love this BAND~! We just posted a tribute video to "Cousins" on our page. Clearly not as awesome as theirs . . . . but at least we had fun riding on the track!

[rimshot93]

ignorant french people.. if that was ireland the whole town wud be singing

[aerlingus18]

yeah all d skangers haha

[armsofdelmar]

@rimshot93 whats wrong with a quiet appreciation?

[froodgoose]

ooooh out of tune :) ... still good though

[TheActualActuals]

don't downvote froodgoose, the instruments are out of tune - not really their fault though, and it's still a good performance.

[thebird01010]

I like the acoustic touch, except when it's not quite in tune it can hurt a few people...

[jiddy8]

today, found this cd in the car, driving ... warm weather ... these guys ... great day

[bauer3322]

Totally agree. Listening to these guys in the summer is brilliant

[rtuzak91]

if i saw this happening in my town i would go fucking nuts.

[xHAiiCHx]

this is the best thing i have seen on youtube

i love how rostam keeps trying not to laugh haha :)

no but really, imagine if you were sitting in a bar, and out of nowhere vampire weekend walked in playing walcott. that would be INSANE

[TheEIPfan]

@xHAiiCHx it would be so INSANE oh my god it would be amazing!

[bennyers]

did you intend to say "insane" cause of the lyrics? lol

[xHAiiCHx]

haha! no i never even thought of that, no pun intended i guess!

[armsofdelmar]

@xHAiiCHx god forbid

[vutamadre]

[0DarkLink0]

One (blakes got a new face) was better in this video imho

but is that guy on the left at one trying to listen to his own music?

[EarthSage14]

That would be the sound recordist.

[wk062092]

haha that's hilarious (the guy on the left)

[Kurtsantana]

they were amazing at lollapalooza

[Fee513]

Awsome video, I got two freinds of mine into V-W after watching this! Cant wait to see them live one day.......

[m1k3x07]

Holy fuck, I loved this!

[BrettCaudill]

one of my new favorite live performances of any band. that was fun.

[yurfatalerror]

BOSS

[oakclark34]

so fuckin awesome

[SuperPerformer]

I really think I can say I have a favorite band, never could say that before

[Alixserendipity]

Love it.

[bersincorm]

awsome video but have to agree the instruments are disgustingly out of tune

[TheOdderOne]

Sounds like it's the melodica and the other guitarist.

[omgtomas]

yeah lol, good video, looks like fun, but the instruments need a little tuning...

[rodostroke]

that's right, good video anyway!

[weeble583]

Maybe so. Do you always have to hunt out the negative though? They weren't THAT out of tune anyways. Are you going to go out and do what they just did? I don't think u will

[omgtomas]

I didn't "hunt" out the negativity, it was my observation.

In fact, I do enjoy this performance, I'm just pointing out that they're instruments aren't as intact as usual.

[yejuan23]

he sounds very good. i could have been listening to the cd as it sounded the same. just cripser and liver. not liver as in the organ but liver as in more live.

[CommunalRhythm]

i wish more musicians did this.

more good musicians.

[flowersneedscondoms]

hilarious

[katladevote]

love it.

[gapperz92]

That was priceless! french people were lovin'/hatin' it...trying to sing along. Lookin' awkward nonetheless, gotta love it!

[Chikensrppl2]

Absolutely genius, Vampire Weekend once proves that they are one of the best live bands in music today.

[ScotlandTillIDie]

great band and great song but the instruments are so out of tune i cant listen

[Polmnia]

I'm amazed, it's so real! favourite :)

[grumb123]

FUCKING EPIC <3 These versions are craaazzzyyy

[jiddy8]

yeah

[indianaiu621]

I have like 2000 percent more respect for these guys now. I Loved them before, but these la blogotheque concerts are SO awesome. Bravo.

[Celticnutty]

I bet people were like throwing change into a case or something. lol

[insidethemusicboxx]

[ArcticGirli]
