This performance of Mumford and Sons was at the SXSW 2009 Daystage before they hit big in America. Shortly after, they came back to Austin for a sell out crowd.
hahahha...how far they have come! I was just at their Maryland gig on the 9th! 40 people to 22K!!!! Everyone sang along with them on every song! Even the new ones! :) No one was in a seat they were all dancing!! :)
This audience was LAME! I find myself trying to make excuses for them like "Nobody knew the songs yet because the album wasn't out in the states @ this time." But DAMN! If you can't recognize good music when you hear it why are you @ SXSW? I would suggest watching one of the videos from their gig @ House of Blues in Dallas to feel better about Texas audiences. Marcus even comments @ the end of the gig how impressed they are w/the audience & says they'll be back :)
The crowd at SXSW is apparently too damn hipster to show any emotion. How this song doesn't bring people to their feet and give them hope is just beyond me. Hope these guys come back to the states soon.
@jlc20082008 I just made a similar comment on another video - how can they be still & seated with so much emotion coursing through the room? I am shocked!
I found another one where he sings during 2:37-2:48!!!! YES! I fuckin' love it when he sings that part.

Such a contrast between MandS giving themselves and that frozen public. I don't understand.

Think they played everything faster than usual because they didn't like the crowd, or were nervous. Its noticable.

Some people just like to sit and enjoy the music. Flailing around like a lunatic doesn't make you a better crowd.

I guess I would have been standing and clapping and singing along all by my lonesome. They deserve a worshipping, appreciative audience
