Mountain Goats - ZOOP - Going to Georgia

[slowSouthVultures]

40 miles from atlanta.. this is nowhere..

[fudged71]

The crowd joining in here so loud just sends chills up my spine. As much as I love the higher fidelity versions of this song... this might just be the best.

[OhGoditsJoshua]

I absolutely love Peter's "bassline" in the bridge. I crack up every time.

[MrPedroPietro]

This is my favourite video on YouTube, and I honestly can't put into words why.

It just shines.

[JuJu142]

The most extrodinary thing about you, standing in the doorway is that its you, and that your standing, in the doorway, and you smile when you ease the gun from my hand and im, frozen with joy, right where i stand........the world throws its light underneath your hair, 40 miles from atlanta this is nowhere....

[DonZabu]

This is a fucking unbelievable performance.

[rcarey]

No one has posted on this in a year. Come on. This is one of the best videos on the site.

[theroneudave]

best bass solo ever lol. i wanna take lessons from that guy :D

[JamesHeals]

And you schmile when you ease the gun from my hand :)

[ScottfromBKLYN]

There's something that's awe inspiring whenever the whole crowd sings along to a TMG song, like when they all shout Hail Satan at the climax of The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out of Denton, and now this....It just sends chills down my spine.

I'm just waiting for him to be in NYC when I'm not stuck upstate.

[MoralityPlayy]

I had goose bumps. The entire 2 minutes as well. Amazing.

[valerie2776]

best bass

[Annarulz227]

Awesome. I'd love to see the pictures Peter was taking :D

[entropy1049]

I'm totally feeling the guy at 1:27...THIS is friggin incredible! THANKS for the epic vid!

[farjerjupang]

THANK YOU for putting this song up, my computer that i had this mp3 on died... :/

[lughnagh]

Oh my god, this was awesome. I'm seeing them (or, rather, him) on March 30, and I can't wait.

[SpeedWobbleStudios]

i was suppose to go to this even when I was at my grandmas, she lives like 45 minutes away from watkins glen

but she flipped out because music isn't holy

whatever, at least I can watch this video

John is a master at his craft

[Juggatard]

i was there. music is holy. zoop was a wonderful event. cant wait for it to happen again.

[MrDelirious]

I love that John asks Peter for backing vocals to a song that the crowd SCREAMS along to. Heh. Also, best bass solo ever. By anyone. EVER.

[blithium]

And he's so insistent on it xD

[MrDelirious]

Yeah! It's like "Dude, ease up. WE KNOW THIS ONE. We'll sing if he won't."

[teaandcakeordeath]

i love pph just wandering around in the background

[Chad63092]

This just gave me chills throughout the entire 2 minutes and 13 seconds

[mocarrion]

This performance is so friggin awesome! Can't believe I hadn't seen it until now. Thanks!

[sammysamsaminson]

man i'm so close to watkins glen, and i've NEVER heard of this Farm Sanctuary place....i gotta get my ear to the ground more often and find the good venues around here...i TOTALLY would have been at that show had i known about it! =(

[dwickham1980]

farm sanctuary is actually a refuge for mistreated animals (thus the name) but every once in a while they host musical guests. This one was a sort of camping weekend where they played 2 shows and during the day everybody explored the farm. The shows were held in the evenings in the barn and most people camped out in tents on the surrounding lawns. it was a lot of fun.

[dannyodoul]

I climbed Watkins Glenn in an hour and 30 minutes.

I had a walking stick, but I almost died before I reached the top. It is quite a steep ascent. Scary too!

But I like the Mountain Goats, they write amazing songs that all sound alike.

Sincerely,

The Legendary Danny O'Doul

[lysergicalice]

damn great song

wish i was there!

[TheyCallMeKennedy]

This IS the greatest song ever written<3 Atom and His Package does a nice cover of it as well.

[zombiekiller]

one of the best songs ever written. i love it.

[WalterKarlHungus]

who is that sining with John Darnielle

[EatingJamOutoftheJar]

PPH

[WalterKarlHungus]

who is PPH?

[EatingJamOutoftheJar]

Peter Peter Hughes.

When ever John darnielle is performing, PPH accompanies him on bass. His first official recording with TMG was on tallahasse but he was also in 9 black poppies...creo pero no se.

[blankwavemessiah]

@EatingJamOutoftheJar pretty sure cubs in 5 was his first appearance

[brunomilan]

[jesseballway]

Missed it...ugh.
