[Dav1oMagnific0]

I think you had the best seat in the house.

[happyparallel]

That first "well," I swear.. Holy crap :D You can hear someone near the camera say "oh my god" hahaha

[blackmanpancakes]

modest mouse could kick chuck norris in the ass and get away with it...

[TheExpressionist1]

anyone who hasn't seen the music video for this absolutely has to. heath captured the gritty delusional chaos of this song PERFECTLY.

[musicismyfavorite777]

These guys are so pro. Just listen to that song. For any musicians out there, they can agree with me when I say this song is insane (in the good way) and this performance is ace!

[rcbcoop]

WELLLLLLLLL

[IRLKids79]

Definitely the best song on No Ones First, and an awesome one live. Great video.

[dirtydrunxfm]

best ever fuck everyone else

[Hughesy6060]

Just watched all the vids you posted from this concert. I can only pray that they play a somewhat similiar setlist July 24 in CT. Cant fuckin wait. I love MM!!!!

[ZombieDeathProof]

Is johnny mar with modest mouse anymore? Does he still tour with them?

[imjohnandyouare]

@ZombieDeathProof no he plays with the English indie rock band "The Cribs"

[ZombieDeathProof]

@imjohnandyouare Shame! Are "the Cribs" any good?

[imjohnandyouare]

@ZombieDeathProof I think theyre pretty good. theyre not like Modest Mouse tho

[DreamingMuscian]

Modest Mouse makes the banjo sound so badass.

[Raring93]

I want to go to a modest mouse concert!

[Crayzman2297]

There are a lot of videos of this song live on this website, and in my opinion, this video is the whole band's best performance of the song, out of all the videos.

[Differentiate11]

I love modest mouse, and they are a great band, but they are far from the BEST ever.

There can't even really be a best band ever.

[sgfig]

I rekon this is the best song, form the best band ever

LOOOOVEEEEEEEE it

[TheOnlyBonesaw]

modest mouse is pretty much the best band ever

[Budney420]

absolutely.

[looshkin66]

pretty much?

They ARE the best band ever......been a fan since 97 and will forever be....

[Nameless0880]

@TheOnlyBonesaw Damn right.

[TheModestMouseHouse]

[junior311]

excelent record...i mean, it looks like its from a cel phone, so...

5 stars!

[MrSkeletonFace]

can you really mess up lyrics you've written? im leaning towards....no.

[clashcitywannabe]

Isaac Brock changes his songs lyrics live the same way Bob Dylan does

[brockmay16]

messed up on the lyrics a little bit, its I dont care, not " I dont Know" and he says he spent his last 500 dollars when its 100 haha

[nervis60]

its his song i think he can sing what he wants lol. I was at this show sooo epic.

[mranonam]

I don't recall a single concert I've been to where the band recited all the lyrics of every song verbatim.

[devendarko]

Great song.

[quixoticnostalgic]

"We spun like birds on fire right down towards the residence and I

I took all that I desired, even crooks have to pay the rent.

We swam like rats on fire right, right down the reservoir

We took all that we could carry but we tried to carry more."

"I took your laugh by the collar and it knew not to swing.

Anytime I tried an honest job well the till had a hole and ha-ha

We laughed about payin' rent 'cause the county jails they're free."

<3

[gummy52]

lol the way he screams well is so epic

[Gmann5003]
