Bright Eyes - Poison Oak (Live @ SXSW 2011) HD 8 of 10

[21madmethod]

@callen1369 Thanks callen, I think I'll check out the People's Key next. I heard a couple songs off that album already and they were both good. My favorite so far is Cassadaga though.

[21madmethod]

Okay, so I've listened to both Cassadaga and Wide Awake Its Morning, can someone tell me the next album check out?

[dasenase]

@21madmethod Anything from Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil to People's Key is either great or amazing. To me, some of the earlier stuff seemed too angsty and wreaked of whiny teenager (the song "waste of paint"). People's key might be my favorite, though. They really changed their sound.

@21madmethod LIFTED OR THE STORY IS IN THE SOIL

[Masteryre]

@21madmethod Digital Ash is their finest album. It's the hardest to get into. But seriously, listen to it enough and it'll grow on you more than any album you've ever heard.

as a die hard Bright Eyes fan (saw them twice last year- once at Radio City Music Hall) - i have to say this version of Poison Oak is hands down the best one Ive ever seen them do. In Conor i believe!

@metalheadjay666 may look dumb but who wouldn't want a video of bright eyes from a show they were at it's not like it's any worse than a shitty cell phone viideo

[GreenBrightDeath]

goosebumps at 3:33 ooooooh

[Jakeistoocool143]

This song is so good that it makes me want to vomit.

[HiNonCeMale]

whats the instrument at 1.22?

[ThatTristanJohn]

@HiNonCeMale pedal steel

[EJMcGill24]

@HiNonCeMale much harder to play than he makes it seem!

[crazyjay321]

0 dislikes. Thats what i like to fucking see.

[The80sTrashKid]

beautiful song, really moving! One of his best, IMO...

[metalheadjay666]

wtf is with the idiot at 0:42 recording the gig with an I-pad??

[mattycave1]

Or an English guy unemployed sitting in his bedroom and fed up of the world

[natty71991]

I'm not the kind of girl that cries over everything that makes me sad or emotional. I can control what I feel. Always. But I heard this and in like 15 seconds my throat closed and my eyes were starting to fill with tears. That made me think that when/if I ever get to hear this song live I will absolutely break...

[ulfern90]

Fantastic

[junoskiner]

I'm a guy from an entirely different country. I believe when Conor wrote this, it's quite likely he didn't know that an australian labourer would years later be driving to work singing the words with chills down his spine and tears in his eyes. Perfect.

[BjornB87]

@junoskiner or that a guy in Iceland, just out of rehab, cries in the car listening to every one of his albums.

Conor is my hero. He is also my downfall.

[11Jurriaan]

@junoskiner Or a guy from the Netherlands, fourteen years old, is changing his entire life because of doubt he gave him, but that same doubt was taken away by that same Conor Oberst.

Lynn, for u

[MrBriller]

@junoskiner Or a family man from New York who somehow gravitates to these videos when he has had something or two to drink

[TheCaptainFarrell]

"play it again"

[zerbert80]

i Love this video.

[Masteryre]

One of the best songs ever.

[loveMyFreakinLife]

@Masteryre so true I had a single tear rolling down my cheek when I heard it live...beautiful :)
