Blind Pilot on TV

[romeois21]

@Rickyjohnson81 you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. i will leave it at that to not embarrass you anymore than you did yourself.....or you could really be that stupid. Either way have at it.

[yemm66]

Outstanding.... Mumford and Sons should have these guys along for the tour



[romeois21]

I like!  I can't STAND the violin player though! She plays flat a lot. eeeehhhhhh!! Drives me crazy!

[SoIncrediblyHigh]

my god this is amazing. the violin really adds a lot from the album version. i didn't hear her play flat at all, @romeois21

[RickyJohnson81]

@romeois21 What is wrong with playing flat. Unless you aren't talking about notes. Maybe that is how they intended it. Flats are very useful notes in song composer.

[jadesloan]

Beautiful!

[gnitleinad]

why are they playing it so much faster than the studio version?

[saveurshot]

@gnitleinad it keeps interest when playing live. not that it isn't interesting already, but it's great to have an energetic live show that engages the audience =D

[deucehig]

@gnitleinad perhaps because they're on live tv and they're a little nervous.

[crupe]

@deucehig i don't think so. they're playing with the tempo :-) notice how they slow it down during the chorus

[natureremains]

It is rare to find a band that is so talented musically and lyrically, I have become an instant fan.

[ak231510]

Its nice when you like a song from a band, then seeing them performing it live only confirms how talented you thought they were.

[natlie006]

I may or may not watch this multiple times a day. Amazing.

[Glorydays09]

OMG! Banjo Player - You're Hot!

[itsonlytrung]

Stop being desperate man; nobody likes a desperate.

[shishio45]

nobody likes people who are douchebags either

[itsonlytrung]

I am guessing nobody likes you?

[leetsawcee]

i couldnt tell if she was a guy or girl still she sang. ya she is hot....

[Sentraman4]

denverrrrr novemver 28th :DDD

[autumncarousel]

wow, I love the violin and cello, it gives the song a completely different feel.

And what's the girl's name who's singing and playing banjo? She sounds like a girl who's sung in a few Bright Eyes songs.

[lemonNlime1000]

I saw them live twice both times i was front row on the floor and it was INCREDIBLE they are the best band live ive ever heard in my life!!!

[lemonNlime1000]

theyre my favorite band of all times iv seen them twice in concert both times i was on the floor they preform the best concert i have ever been to!! SOOOO GOOD

[shishio45]

love this band, osund even greater live

woooottt!!

[aninnerglow]

This is the second time I saw a great band make their television debut on Carson's show. Company of Thieves, now Blind Pilot.

Maybe I should start watching....

Nah.

[bsiemon82]

i heard these guys open for the Decemberisits this past monday. they got a standing - o. it was amazing!!!

[StumpfMeister]

I just got back from seeing them in St. Louis literally 2 hours ago. AMAZING. The guy on the double bass said it was about Communism?

[Lloyd1958]

I love this song. The music and the melody line. Very clever arrangement. I have no idea what the lyrics mean though. Not a clue.

[yankeesbb09]

I have seen these guys live in Portland, OR. Absolutely brilliant. One of the best live performances ever. Seriously, if you don't like Blind Pilots record, you have no musical sense...

[tevisthe4th]

That dude is from my town,,,, that chick on the banjo has a sick voice when she does her song she kills it too.

[nyc1919]

one red thread is such a beautiful song. I love your music it touches my soul. My thirteen year old son introduced me to your music. Good Luck!

[nightghast]

i've loved these guys since they supported counting crows, and i agree, the violinist is terrible. they sounded brilliant with the banjo woman and the drummer. the four of them had the best sound

[hickeye]

That's just fuckin' mean!

[1jonnym1]

yeah, i saw them with counting crows without the violinist, i think she makes the song dreary. they rocked the house with just for of them!

[QueerLiberation]

I've been listening to this song on repeat this past week. It's enough to change my life.

[starstruck4jeffhardy]

the whole album is as good as this. better in my opinion. listen to the title track it's amazing

[QueerLiberation]

Great! Thanks.

[knierman]

They opened for The Decemberists last evening in KC. Wish I coulda listened to them a little bit longer... Great sound. Yay, Banjo!

[P0wn8ge]

I just seen them at sasquatch 2009 and they're absolutely amazing!

[starstruck4jeffhardy]

ahhh lucky. i wanted to go so bad but i'm in boston so that made it a little difficult... did you see Bon Iver?

[P0wn8ge]

Nah, i really wish i would have though... went to see the yeah yeah yeah's instead (they're playing at the same time)

[ylanglang]

This live version, with the extra insruments sounds so much better than the album version. i stop replaying it over and over haha

[bbbb666888888845]

One of my new favorites! Beautifully preformed.

[recyclingforjesus]

less is more. the extra strings kind of ruin how beautifully simple this song is.

[icabal1]

No sorry I heard them live on Monday, the extra Bass and Banjo really make the band but loose the violin I agree. I do love the album version but with the two extra members its so much better

[JazzManJoe1127]

i think they are better live then on there cd

[hickeye]

just something about his voice that I can't get enough of

[wilgowilco]

I'm in Portland, locals, would love the pooky out of 'em if I were from anywhere else!

[fatjakeohyeah]

i saw them at Spaceland. they were amazing! gonna be big!

[travislbuck]

Saw them at the Casbah in SD Friday night. Best show ever.

[jpick111]

i think they could get as big as bands like the shings or decemberists... portland is the best city ever!

[wenzelhackeng]

I looking foreward to their new album, all new blind pilot songs! I heard some new ones on youtube, like: We Are the Tide, and White Apple

[DaGombeenMan]

amazing

[undertakr]

jesus christ

well, we'll probably never open for them again :(

farewell my sweet princesses

the big time will never be too big for you

[sdchess]

Great performance and a very catchy song. best to you all. Israel is truly deserving of the bigtime. A truly good guy. Chess.

[TORblah383]

Amazing Blind Pilot! That was awesome! Israel looks so adorable and excited! And his vocals are perfect! The band did a great live job of One Red Thread. I'm so happy for them.

[kurtmoore7458]

wow that was great....good job!

[pluckyperson]

Yeah! Blind Pilot finally gets on network tv, albeit Carson Daly and at 1 in the frickin morning, but at least they're getting the recognition they deserve.

Israel looks so psyched to be on national tv. He can barely keep a straight face. And did you see him look at the banjo player at the end of the song, like,"Can you believe this?!" So happy for them. Most talented up-and-coming band in America this year.

[tressindar]

Go Aarron!!

[ambermlittle]

I have no words other than I am infinitely happy for all of you! And of course I think it was an amazing performance!
