Anyone have a rip of this audio/are they doing a digital Bonnaroo album like a lot of bands do?

saw them the night before this performance. they're insanely consistent live

Damn, they always seem to kill it live. Great performance.

I was there for this performance (well most of it anyways) and it was absolutely nuts. After they performed Some Nights half the crowd left (Phish had already started playing). The crowd that remained all seemed like very true fans though as a few very loud "Format" chants broke out.

Another reason why the crowd seems small is that the Shins, Young the Giant and the Civil Wars were all performing at the same time. It was an insane night of amazing music.

I really need to see them live

Can't wait to see them for the second summer in a row on Friday! :)

if their set at Summerfest is anything like this, the likelihood of me fainting is about 100%.

Nate must find this so annoying. Borderline disrespectful.

I don't know why, but i hate "One Foot" and "It gets better" so much. I like/love every other song they've written.

brokencyde 06/12/12 10:49 AM

This makes me really regret going to see them last week. This is amazing.

Those are two of the most fun songs they do live, though.

I could see that. I honestly have skipped over the live videos of those two songs since i don't like the recorded versions. I'll have to watch them now. But i can s ee how they'd be good live. They're very repetative, so even if the crowd had never heard the songs before, they'd know them/be singing along by the end.

This just cemented that fact that I need to go see them in Philly in August, despite the fact It Gets Better is a terrible song.

What an incredible show. Saw some great bands this year, as always, but this show was a standout. The crowd was so into it all it was intoxicating.
