This live version is so much better than the actual recording of the song, Robin's voice has so much more passion in it, the way his voice literally come close to breaking in places almost conveys how he can hardly contain his dream even more. In addition the ending isn't quite so polished. Watching this on Jools Holland when I was 14 two years ago was the first time I listened to Fleet Foxes and it blew my mind and opened me up to acoustic music completely. A phenomenal band.
This is one of the most original, compelling and authentic bands. Heard them live at Constitution Hall - just riveting, a sold-out concert. So excellent. Something timeless about them, something of the land - amazing rhythm, and those harmonies! LOVE.
EPIC! Such a gorgeous, soulful song. Brian Wilson must be a favourite of this great band. It aso reminds me of the band, Lambchop, who released a brilliant country soul record called 'Nixon', some years ago.
fleet foxes is pure raw beautiful music, normally I'd leave people to their own opinions however anyone who can't see the beauty in this band will probably never know beauty in their lifetime.
Yep, he "lost it," slightly in places, but this is what you get for doing live music and not miming to backing tracks. I loved their last album and this is in the same ballpark for me, this is "tough," to put across live and they do a really good job of it. It's so refreshing to hear this sort of thing.
@FlyBird i wasnt being a smartass. i just meant his voice was cracking due to the effort and emotion he puts across. something which sets him aside from any other singers on the circuit at the moment. think you re gettin a bit carried away pal. people on here are suggesting that he was struggling, i dont think so.
@frushuante i couldn't agree more, i quite like alot of older bands and i was soo glad to have found a band this good in modern day amongst all the pop shit :)
Yeah, dude. Sun Giant is an EP. Extended Play. Basically a longer single. Self-Titled and Helplessness Blues are LPs, or what are generally referred to as 'albums'.
@floosybow they'll be in aussie (where i live) for the new year. but i'll be in new zealand. P.S i cant get over bedouin dress. its by far my favourite song released this year.
@PatagonianRailways Yeah but I think I saw something similar before, a guy named Paul playing the same bass along the past century, in a small band called.. the Beetles ..or maybe the Beatles or sort of ;)
Patti Smith has described how she once contemplated suicide, but had decided against it on the basis that she would miss the next Rolling Stones record. Now, at last, there's a good reason for the new generation to think twice before jumping ship.
you can find Bedouin Dress on v-s.mobi if you search "Fleet Foxes jools holland" and also you can find Sim Sala Bim using wayback machine with y t .com /watch?v=m33jJRZhtl8 put in 2011
Second to Thom Yorke, Robin Pecknold is the only vocalist who can actually reduce me to tears. Just beautiful.
Saaame. For me he's up there with Thom Yorke, Nick Drake, John Lennon.

Agreed. Wish they would redo a studio version with this voice
robin really sings his heart out in this performance
"In that dream I'm as old as the mountains, Still is starlight reflected in fountains"
i really like that first lyric

Emotion, sentiment, heart, soul! I love Fleet Foxes...! Love you Robin. 🌻🌻🌻♥️♥️♥️
id love to be sat in the pub listening to these guys.... happy days
Their concert in D.C. was the most amazing, awe-inspiring musical feast I have just about ever heard. They were magnificent.

I think for 3 minutes of this song I was just kind of in a trance, staring at the screen with my mouth open, mesmerised.
This performance was HD in my memory
This music is just magical. It just expresses my way of thinking, feeling, hearing, Bres
I LOVE that this album ends on a hanging note, there's no cadence. It's total genius.
all my life i will wait TO ATTAIN IT now
Saw Fleet Foxes at Hammersmith Apollo last week, absolutly magical concert,
this was so amazing it made me cry... WOW...
this is it. this is the love i want.
for me this is their best song yet. and I'm goin to see them in June. woop! woop!
watched this lastnight! sent shivers up my spine :-)
I absolutely love this band!! Their music makes me want to walk through a prairie or high grown wild flowers ;)
Dear lord, that ending gives me chills Everytime!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
The harmonies at the end are positively fugal!
absolutely unbelievable! best band going round.
f' off the people who are critiquing the performance, you are lost in life
this whole album is like a good dream
He is wonderful!
best band of the night in my opinion

So powerful. Can't wait to see this live.
Wowwww , that voice.. this song.
So proud. Love you guys.

Splendid!

Love them madly

Seeing them a week from tomorrow in Santa Barbara!
Awesome harmonies
i need to see this band before i die.
Wow, they nailed it
My favorite song by my favorite band. Ever.
Yep, he "lost it," slightly in places, but this is what you get for doing live music and not miming to backing tracks.

Even when his voice cracks it sounds beautiful. Whats up with that? Not fair.
Those harmonies.. god damn
how could anyone dislike this
@BlasterTon Best live performers that I have ever seen!
And it was worth every penny :O)
awesome!
I love how there are five seconds of silence before the audience realize what they've witnessed and starts clapping
To me, Robin seems really nervous in this video. It is heartwarming.
very strong sense of deja vu with this band.... ah thats it .. the waterboys from the 80s!!
this is AMAZING :)
love it :-)
seeing this live would have been something
I LOVE these hair farmers!!
What to say ? Heavenly

robin has depth. you can tell he has been encountering being
@offtothelincolnmobil couldn't agree more!! ahh where are you seeing them? JEALOUS
i sit down when i jam too
@frushuante i couldn't agree more, i quite like alot of older bands and i was soo glad to have found a band this good in modern day amongst all the pop shit :)
They can sing.
2:06 amazing voice!
woah
Yeah, dude. Sun Giant is an EP. Extended Play. Basically a longer single. Self-Titled and Helplessness Blues are LPs, or what are generally referred to as 'albums'.
His mannerisms and even appearance here reminds me of John Fahey.
@floosybow they'll be in aussie (where i live) for the new year. but i'll be in new zealand. P.S i cant get over bedouin dress. its by far my favourite song released this year.
@RipleyisBA They are pure antidepressant. Best band in the world.
@Keyaaaah Gah! So pissed Bon Iver won't be with them in Seattle on Tuesday!
I like the live version of this song better than the album version. It's just much more intense.
everyone has different opinions deal with it and learn to love each other.
I have to get that jumper! God if someone finds it or one like it please tell me!
When are they coming to the netherlands... I think there great!!!!
*like*
=D Oh yes.
3:30 is pure fucking ecstasy. That's it.
@PatagonianRailways Yeah but I think I saw something similar before, a guy named Paul playing the same bass along the past century, in a small band called.. the Beetles ..or maybe the Beatles or sort of ;)
fionn regan, snowy atlas mountains
Why did they take off the high quality ones off RUclips cant find them anymore
See you at Werchter 2011
wide eyed walker... don't betray me..... I will wake one day.......
@Willro91 you know when they coming to the states???
@ilikegiants36 Get your tickets asap. They sell out fast.

better than the other way round =)
Sound like SOME people have grown a little too accustomed to auto tuning...you know who you are....SHAME ON YOU. I loved it.
@stogaballer23 i wouldn't worry about it, after all its their loss.
he says later he broke 2 strings in this live performance! lol
@shootmyrunner hey, no need for that. Mumford and sons are a great band as well.
do you have the other videos of their performances on jools?
Maya Magination I’m gutted the old video with the 3 songs got taken down! It was my favourite Fleet Foxes video.
