Phoenix sound good on a small stage, large stage, in a tiny room, on a cd or recording. That is the measure of true musicians, they sound good however they play and however you listen to them because none of it is fake, it's all true.

[@adkim]

Damn this band is tight as heck. They all know their parts and play it so well. A symphony from a quartet.

[@matthewjones2271]

No matter how big these guys get or how much time passes, they always seem to come back to the Twin Cities to do live sets with The Current. I wonder if they like Minnesota or like working with The Current, or a combination of the two.

[@Matt-lq6zk]

Jeez they look like they've aged 20 years, making me feel old. At least they still sound fresh as ever!

[@destroyerjazz]

I mean, they were already in their late-30’s when the album came out 14 years ago… time happens.

[@toiletsinflorida4999]

I don’t know the other ages but the lead singer is 46

[@thomasrawlings368]

United turns 25 next year

[@uriustosh]

In fact they have aged aboue 16 years since this song was released and and 13-16 years since you last saw them probably. So yea, people generally aged every year.

[@liamwarren3487]

One of those bands who sound as good, if not better, live as they do on the recordings!

[@MzJollett]

This band and specifically this song has been there for me during lifes roughest moments for the last 15 years..... Today i finally landed an amazing career opportunity and this song once again popped up on some random fb video. It's my happy song 💜💜💜

[@ovechkin100]

i know this will sound bad, but i hate seeing them older. Im so use to seeing them in their music videos. They are timeless. They bring me back to younger days. Though not very long ago, still another era in my life that im no longer in. They just felt so timeless, but clearly even they are dealing with time as well. Sigh.

[@emc555]

One of my all time favorites! Love hearing it Live after all this time

[@TonyPucci11]

Oh man, that Fender Bullet with the pickguard/bridge is lovely! I had the same model in red…40 years ago when they came out! Always loved this song!

[@bluetoothenjoyer]

they did not come out 40 years ago they got together in 1998 ishhhh im p sure

[@justinschrank4806]

Saw them live about 15 years ago. They were incredible.

[@maryanndavis8580]

WOW!! Sounds great. One of my favorite songs.

[@thundertwonk1090]

One of the few bands I've seen that actually sound (vocals) better live than in the album. Their shows are absolutely spectacular and the most fun concerts I've ever been to.

[@Kheops.]

I just can't get enough of this version, y'all are magnificent !

[@arnaudthepgm]

Quel talent

[@user-jv9el8qb7o]

These guys still sound so fuckin good, the singers voice is always butter 🧈
