Grizzly Bear Cheerleader (Live SXSW 2009)

[wiggelzz11]

I don't think it's "I'm shooting them myself" ..

More like "I'm cheerleading myself", thus the title of the song?

[fadik06]

sorry to burst your bubbles but I've heard them on the radio.  they're still awesome, but they're on the radio.

[didyoujustouchmyass]

can someone PLEASE tell me what guitar dan is playing? thanks.

[8rosanna]

this song is so good, i love it when chris bear sings

[griffs16]

@8rosanna he has such a good voice, wish we got to hear it a bit more often

[Koopgeminikiller]

could these guys get any better?

[mattmnz]

They are indeed great. They get plenty of airplay in NewZealand........ GO 95BFM...!

[bluuurrr]

@mattmnz No No No airplay for these guys. They are too good for that crap. I will kill myself the day they play on a radio stations. We dont any indie trendies listening to them.

[mattmnz]

heheh.. It's student radio auckland university, newzealand.. the home of indie.

[eartant]

These guys are great. Shame they don't get airplay, then again FUCK radio !

[fallenleaf25]

I've often wondered why this didn't become a bigger hit, because this is easily my favorite song off their album (I still remember the first time I heard this on Jimmy Fallon).

Anyway, am I the only one who thinks it's ironic that they are preforming in a church?

[Emyrsaurus]

whys it ironic ya mongazo

[RxTim]

leader singer is a homosexual

[Emyrsaurus]

you disgusting bastard. he and all other homosexuals are human

[RxTim]

do you have sand in you vagina? i was stating facts, he's gay, the church does not take kindly to homosexuals. i listen grizzly bear and don't really see anything wrong with homosexuals so you might not wanna jump the gun so quick

[Capriccio01]

@RxTim So? Who cares?

[RxTim]

this short tempered person didn't know why it was ironic (or prob just wanted to argue with someone), why don't you look where all these responses came from?

[slappop7]

at 1:57 daniel knows he played the wrong chord lol, still an amazing performance though

[BendoGecko]

what a sweet spot to see watch a show from

[elcakester]

Wow! I am most jealous of you, you got to see them live and up close. I'd definitely go see them live if they came to my state, but they're not. I love how the church's acoustics allow the song to resemble the sound we hear in the album. Most impressive, indeed. One thing I didn't know is that Chris Bear sings the "I'm shooting them myself" part, well, now I know.

[Sentraman4]

on some versions chris taylor does it

[BendoGecko]

chris bear drums, chris taylor takes that little lead vocal.

[PhantomWarlock]

i wanna go to this church

[12345l6789]

much prefer the vocals on this version

[devious222]

this is an amazing tune. the live version doesn't really do the recording credit though.. feels a bit more empty live.

[KyostiG]

look up the jimmy kimmel live version. I saw it in HD, with surround sound. The sound was gorgeous.

[walkingonathinline]

do you mean jimmy kimmel or jimmy fallon? cause i can't find the 'jimmy kimmel live version'..

[KyostiG]

hah I'm not even sure anymore, been a while. Well whatever version it was, I think they took it off, sadly.

[lukeloseth]

trust me, when you're there in person it feels full.

[moviemaster37]

Is Christopher Bear's mike working? He seems to be singing around 1:58 but I can't hear him

[MACATTACK7654]

im the guy in the back smoking a j

[MarsHolst20]

@MACATTACK7654 You are a great man. hahaha fucking awesome.

[HexicNexus]

This is the first song on my agenda when i get a sampling machine. I want to make a remix and send it to them. Grizzly Bear is my heros of music right now (conventional anyhow) I just don't feel like other bands are as good nowadays. <3 Grizzly Bear

[kbyourself]

this was a wonderful night

[DeanieWeanie]

daniel uses a pog now, thats probably it with delay & reverb

[viachicago]

It's hard to do justice to this song live without the Brooklyn Girls Choir, who are on the album version. Maybe Ed can play a tape like Bradford Cox does for Saved By Old Times.

[MikeLXXXVIII]

One of my favourites, but nothing beats All We Ask so look forward to the album people :P

[whbjr0riginal]

See all those people sitting beside the stage? That's the overflow seating, and it was full - the place was PACKED.

[mraymond77]

what is that pedal that daniel is using? verbzilla on octo setting maybe?

[FreedomIsAJoke]

What part? I can't really tell hes using anything.

[mraymond77]

from 4:17 on. like crystal reverb and short delay sounds like

[mraymond77]

this looks pretty hard to play it right live. but its an awesome song!!

[re1069]

So mad they stopped letting people in, i was so close!!!!

[osufan77]
