The Hold Steady - "Most People Are DJs" - LIVE!

[chmick50]

I seen every video ever posted on Youtube. I can say with no hyperbole that is the best of them all. It's not even close

[moofus1]

@chmick50 thanks! done on the skin of my teeth. but they made it easy.

[matedog2]

@moofus1 Other than Stations are there any other tunes from this show? This video is too good and it sounds like they go into Killer Parties at the end which might be my favorite tune of theirs.

[AxialTiltProductions]

So Much Win!

[thedoctor69able]

i5.42 thats a cool manouver

[thedoctor69able]

im from down under and i just love these guys thrashin the shit out of their albums never get bored of the stories of people around em makes feel like my life is so boring be good to have some rocknroll problems again

[ttraynor1]

The guitar is so big chunks of Thin Lizzy. Shred Tad, shred.

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

I would see this band live every day if I could

[beergnome666]

I heard they ripped off their sound from an unreleased record made by some unnamed almighty rock gods who destroyed, like, ten evil universes with awesomeness lasers.

[matedog2]

Well this is officially one of the best things I have ever seen.

[tehjoshomg]

my favorite part is 0:00 - 6:18

[badname1986]

Said this on another Hold Steady video, but I'm going to say it again. It is awesome to see a band having as much fun playing as they do.

[bananaiphone888]

Great video, crappy sound :(

[peacheyfour2009]

they started the show in Sayreville NJ w/ this song . . . frackin awesome

[keremc79]

Love this song, Love this band. 5:35 FTW! x

[LuKster138]

come to ontario!

PLEASE!!

[seeyoulatertonight]

Awesome. If Paul Westerberg, Chris Mars, Tommy Stinson and Bob Stinson had gone to grad school and never been in a fistfight, they would sound like this.

[mikebird21]

That 360 guitar swing has got to be the coolest thing ive ever seen!

Man i cant wait til these guys are next playing the UK!

[stephanobentos]

This is awesome. The best live clip I've seen in ages. RAAAA!

[iambiginside]

lol yes

we didn't get DJs at the Roundhouse

but we got certain songs! and first night as a finsher!

possibly the best night of my life.

[usedretainers]

I just watched Tad's 360 guitar swing at the end like 14 times in a row.

[slompappy]

he got that from a guy named Warner hodges.Warner is a fantastic=tic player who was the lead man for a band called Jason and the Nashville Scorchers.a cross betweenJerry reed and Eddie Van Hal en

[iambiginside]

I tried to do this in my bedroom and almost broke my guitar, neck and the ceiling. it smashed into the ceiling straight away. don't know how you can just LEARN to do it.

i reallllllllly hope they play this song when i see them next wednesday at the london roundhouse...

[thefunkynugget]

I did the same thing in my garden and ended up with the whole head of the guitar embedded in the lawn.

Can't wait for roundhouse gig.

Praying they play this too.

[iambiginside]

see you there :D

[scurt420]

got to invest in lock nuts for your guitar strap if you are going to be attempting that kind of bar room magick.....

[doublebassed]

Even Mozart wrote I-IV-V progressions in 4/4. It happens, dude. Just because this is straightforward doesn't decrease the value of the art at all. Art is always contextual; and right now, the Hold Steady's fucking important. It doesn't hurt that they're awesome, too.

[slompappy]

yes it does

kinda

[UnrighteousFury]

Man, I wasn't even at this concert but I can tell by looking at this video that even the vibe was fantastic.

[TBS1017]

best hold steady video online hands down

[gaj123]

make it louder its rlly quiet

[iambiginside]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND.

nuf sed.

[rhcp0109]

This video captures the feel of a Hold Steady show, especially in the last minute or so

[xrsd]

you have no soul

please dont comment on videos that you dont like just to piss off people who do like them

i bet your a hipster douche who loves something that we have never heard of.

[tromafirmer88]

It's about time for a band with some rocking solos.

[rockislife999]

it seems the art of a good old fashion rock solo has been lost to either shredding or no solo at all

[scurt420]

wimp

[Bolabolai]

Yeah, I still feel pretty sweet tonight. Check out the studio version of this song, the guitar is even more insane.

[ForSafetyReasons]

The song that made me fall in love with them.

[Jonesiesucks]

Ok.

So.

Tad is God.

Everyone agree?

Good.

[ttraynor1]

@Jonesiesucks Tad shreds.

[badname1986]

@Jonesiesucks I heard he invented the electric guitar.

[teaflax]

Do these guys ever choose *anything* but the very most obvious option in a given bit? Wow...

[ben030103]

seriously, who gives a shit? the music's straightforward, sure, but fuck dude...it's just so fun.

[teaflax]

I give a shit. I demand a bit more from art than simplistic fun. If I want music that's simple and fun, I would like it to either groove or rock hard; this really does neither. It's wishy-washy, gray, featureless and predictable. Pre-chewed, easy to grasp and lacking in mental or spiritual nutrition. But, hey, to each his own...

[ttraynor1]

Wow. Cool I'm glad I found you here. I've been looking for you all my life. Who should I be listening to to capture the art of it? What do you think about The Who, for example? Your answer will clarify much for me.

[ttraynor1]

This comment is for teaflax below. I am lost and need his help. It appears that most people ARE critics!

[ttraynor1]

See ttraynor reply above.

[hollywasahoodrat]

ur a cunt

[DJAlanGreenspan]

I'm usually anti-guitar solo, but Tad's work on this track is exceptional.

[blueballsredhair]

how can you be anti-guitar solo?

[DJAlanGreenspan]

Most of them bore me. But not this one.

[redufit]

i fucking love these bitches!!!!!

[Magitek85]

That was one insane guitar swing.

[ForSafetyReasons]

Love this song.

[phlymo]

quality, absolutely quality!

[heidivanderlee]

this is such a well done video. i'm fucking in love with this band.

[dankirouac]

Best band out there

[jonemmerling]

I was there, that was the best show! I was unglued. Hope you enjoyed too while filming. The video is really well done.

[motorben]

Bitchin'!

[deathofdragons]

Yay!
