Freelance Whales - Hannah (Live from Bonnaroo 2011)

[theMuranosBand]

Guys, this isn't bad at all. Just tune out the tired singing of the vocalist and it's fine.

[zwete]

Crazy ass video editor :)

[rachel237linda]

Just noticed that Chuck and Darren have the same guitar xD

[pmgodfrey]

Dorris, other band members... The release sounded way better. I know this is live, but come on. Even the girl at 1:08 isn't having a good time.

[yazzyyam]

this has so much emotion. great

[BenWeaverTV]

you only realize how bad a live performance is when you watch a video. when you're actually there it's amazing no matter what

[Nappuccino]

Not really all that bad... the mix has more to do with it than anything else, i think. Also its a live show, I'd rather listen to this than some auto-tuned bullshit.

[ColeTheSolemn]

Sounds me trying to sing to my girlfriend... SCreeeee

[OHHfuckit]

i like this more than the studio verison!

[SchussFilms]

Lol Thumbs up if you noticed the random crazy fan girl who made herself lookexactly like Judah at 1:08

[SchussFilms]

I saw them live before and they didn't sound this bad! What happened to them??

[gregbutcher1]

from 5.03 they sing the same words as a song from 80's band UK Squeeze then change some of the words right at the of the line. "rip off " Up the Junction is the original song.

[gnagle2919]

I like this version quite a bit. Very immediate, emotional, and heartfelt.

[cmurockstar]

I love this song and this performance makes me like it less... lead guitarist is awful.

[TheCandicimo]

Whaaaat? I like it. Minus the awkward dancing, of course.

[harrisonnantz]

indiebandsoncouches.tumblr.com­...havent gotten Freelance Whales yet

[Stolehome66]

these guys do suck balls. I hope this was not on the main stage.

[whoohaaXL]

Oh God, this is fucking horrible. That short-shit faggot in the white shirt with the Fender Jaguar can't pick in time, they all move like they have shit in their pants, not to mention the music makes my ears bleed. It sounds like they're mumbling! Sounds like someone unplugged a cord at 3:41 What the fuck is he saying at 1:57?!?! What really baffles me is how all these whackos come together with the same horrible playing ability and taste in music? Sorry to rant but this is REALLY bad.

[iTrujillo124]

@whoohaaXL Lol that's a Fender Mustang, not a Jaguar.

[lotem111]

I love this song but what the fuck is this?

[anna3liu]

They move around so akwardly.. but I guess that whats makes a person.

[Dranectrakon]

........



[fredszczepanski]

This is the first time I've heard these guys. As a hard rock head from the 70's, I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this song. My favorite part though was when there was no singing. The instrumental sounds caught my attention (had some soft Pink Floydish undertones) not to mention the beautiful face and legs of Nicole Mourelatos a.k.a. Doris Flynn Cellar (bass, harmonium, glockenspiel, synthesizer, vocals) which speak for themselves.

[billymullarky]

Oh this is just terrible. Lead singer ruins it. I feel bad for the rest of the band.. I used to be a big fan but this is embarrassing. FLW GET YOUR LIVE ACT TOGETHER!

[ChrisDub1]

LOL wow this is terrible. hipsters suck my buns

[rhcpZ41]

They were great live when I saw them in Chicago. Maybe a smaller, more intimate venue is better for them. But yeah, they don't sound so good here.

[krewskate]

yikes, maybe make the girl the lead singer! shes also kinda cute

[krewskate]

yikes, maybe make the girl the lead singer!

[OXOXiwuvRoxasXOXO]

I LOVE their music but I'll be honest... they dont sound the best live.

[hojoslugger301]

i saw them at governor's island and they were awesome then.

[knapperslapper]

how can people cheer for this?

[SMNvideos]

Okay, first of all, don't be rude. With all the different instruments they use and the type of music they sing its hard to be on top of your A-game 24/7. Freelance Whales are a group of musicians who make incredible music that we all love. So if one performance isn't the best, who cares? They have plenty more to come :) don't be so quick to judge, live a little people. :)

[DanEile]

@SMNvideos Live a little does not mean you can't criticise a bad performance. Yes, it's difficult, yes, they play a lot of instruments, but this is their damn job, and if they're going to be playing to crowds and doing so this badly then they really need to buckle down and do a lot more practise.

[SMNvideos]

@DanEile When I said live a little, that means don't be so quick to judge.

[DrWilusz]

i was there in the front. and i guess just because i was at bonnaroo i was getting somewhat into it but.....looking back......this is god awful.

[Abrick33breh]

did he play anything on the bells or did he just hit everything

[yoasza]

ZAZDROSZCZE WSZYSTKIM POLAKOM KTÓRZY TAM BYLI! :)

[DestiniDivine]

Is it just me, or does the singer forgets the lyrics?

[WoodyKDavis]

Either this band is on hangover or they were scheduled to play early and they just aren't morning people.

[Kuankiu]

TOTALLY AWESOME

[MYJAWR]

okay they need to work on their performance... stage presence? and, why does it look like the lead singer is in pain when he sings??

[scamp454]

it looks like this was just really hard to play or something. Music is great, performance....well they need work!

[tigerclaw991]

i agree with spacey down there. what

[carlosuruguayo1]

is the singer some kind of neo-post-modern-gay?

[space78511]

what

[JasmineASmith]

I love the song but this performance of it was....EH

[Hunfolker]

what a dorks :)

[Hiimpikachu]

hahaha...i was there but didn't realize how bad it actually was. still love the song though!

[hula2TINA4hula]

oh god this is bad.

[rebskiez]

Am I the only one that thinks this is brutal?

[seigfried13]

i kind of like the album version of this song but this may be the worst live performance ive seen

[wordsthatrhyme]

YAY!!!! I love "Locations" so much. I'm so glad I'm getting a chance to hear it live!

[wordsthatrhyme]

I love this song, and I love this band, but I wish he wrote enough time for him to breathe in to the song. :D

[amazingonion]

My favorite FW song.
